Snape: "Is this Noah's power? I wonder if it caused any harm. I'll test the waters tonight when we go to sleep."
Headmaster Dumbledore: "Terrifying. No wonder she said we shouldn't get too involved; this kind of power is unacceptable to the world."
Grindelwald: "Noah? Someone really ought to show that youngster what a real Dark Lord looks like."
Mr. Lupin: "Just who is Miss Rhea Walker? Is she really eleven? This is terrifying! No wonder Dumbledore's letter told me that no matter what Miss Rhea Walker does, I must trust her. Well, it's not like I'd dare not to!"
By showing off this trick, Rhea aimed precisely to intimidate Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Mr. Lupin. As always, as long as Snape was fine, everyone else was just an afterthought—after all, you couldn't expect a demon to have a saintly heart.
If Rhea was Pandora's box, then Snape was the lock. As long as Snape was safe, Pandora's box would remain sealed forever!
