Chapter 162 I was blocked by Snape

Snape wasn't as optimistic as Dumbledore.

He knew Voldemort.

Voldemort never trusted anyone, and Lucius Malfoy had never been his most trusted Death Eater.

It was just that Lucius Malfoy was very influential on the pureblood family end, the Malfoys had made a lot of contributions at the beginning of Voldemort's rise to power, and Voldemort had relied on the Malfoys more than a little bit.

Given that, if anything, there might be a lot of dark magic items that make Voldemort immortal ...

Since Lucius Malfoy has one on his hands, Bellatrix Lestrange should have one on her hands as well.

On top of that, Voldemort might keep one close.

And then a few more hidden away.

Just thinking about it made Snape despair a little.

No one could find all the dark magic items, and he didn't believe Dumbledore could either.

"Perhaps we can count on Collins, he seems far more clever than you." Snape sneered slowly.

The words were true, but Snape's original intention was only to mock Dumbledore, he never thought Andy could wrestle Voldemort head-on.

Even if Andy had potential, it would take at least a few decades for him to grow up.

"What a great suggestion."

Dumbledore looked at Snape with a surprised face, "I never thought we would think of the same thing, for once."

Snape: "..."

The old man had gone mad!

"Do you remember last school year?"

Dumbledore said slowly, "Mr Collins may have been aware of Quirrell's plot before you were."

Snape was speechless.

He had 'purposely' warned Andy that day to beware of Quirrell's revenge, but he never expected Andy to have learnt all about it a long time ago.

And then there was this time.

If Andy had just written to him about Dobby, Snape might have continued to delude himself.

But Andy had reminded him of the Malfoy and Weasley fight yesterday.

That would be highly unusual!

"How does that boy know everything?" Snape asked with some surprise.

Dumbledore said lightly, "On that point, I think ... perhaps only Mr Collins himself knows."

Snape frowned, "And you haven't thought to call him in to ask?"

Dumbledore winked, "If you're curious, you can ask him yourself."

"Ah! It's almost time for class, Severus, don't keep the students waiting too long."

Snape: "..."

Yes, it was Potions class for second-year Gryffindors the following class.

Two periods in a row.

Snape kept it in mind.

***

"Professor Snape?"

Andy never thought that he would be blocked by Snape one day.

Hermione was a little wary.

The young witch looked at Andy and then at herself.

Good, nothing was wrong.

That way, even if Snape was deliberately picking a fight, there would be no reason to deduct points from the Ravenclaw.

"Collins ..."

Snape gave Andy and Hermione a glum look and said in a slow tone, "Perhaps...we should talk?"

Andy raised an eyebrow.

"Hermione, go ahead and get to class!"

Andy laughed, "I'll talk to Professor Snape alone."

"Professor Snape ...," Hermione was a little uneasy.   

Andy pulled Hermione's hand and smiled, "Professor Snape is looking for me, it should be about that dark magic item, right?"

Snape nodded without moving.

This brat really did know.

Hermione looked surprised, "Professor Snape, you found the dark magic item left behind by Voldemort?"

Snape's face darkened!

How did even Hermione know?

Snape looked at Andy with a sinister look in his eyes, does this kid have no control over his mouth?

How can he talk about this kind of thing?

Andy shrugged his shoulders and said without any concern: "It's not a big deal, just a post-dinner chat."

Snape looked at Andy, his tone was slightly gloomy, "Do you know how important that thing is?"

A secret that concerns Voldemort's immortality, and you're treating it as after-dinner chit-chat?

Andy operated the Occlumency, looked at Snape and faintly said, "If I guessed correctly, that thing, should be related to the secret of Voldemort's immortality, right?"

Snape: "..."

Since you know everything; why the hell are you still going around talking about it?

Andy was a bit smug: this kind of thing, has long been rotting on the internet in his previous life, okay?

It's just that Andy didn't care at that time, only read the title, and didn't look at the specific content inside.

Otherwise, how could there be any secrets in this world?

Andy looked at Hermione and said: ''Hermione, you go to class first! By the way, ask for a leave for me, and say that Professor Snape is looking for me for a personal matter, and I might not be able to go to the class this lesson."

Great, finally I can skip this Herbology class.

Andy made a mental 'V'.

Hermione nodded and gave Snape a somewhat uneasy look before running towards greenhouse number three.

"Don't look at me like that."

After Hermione left, Andy said with an innocent look on his face, "I didn't think it was anything important."

Snape looked at Andy with a grimace, "How much do you know about the Dark Lord's secret?"

"Just a little!"

Andy gave Snape a detailed account of what he had explained to Hermione.

"That's about it."

"That said, I can't be blamed for that. Headmaster Dumbledore's intentions were so obvious that I was able to surmise a rough outline just by asking around a little."

Andy looked at Snape with a 'naive and innocent' expression.

I don't really want to know anything, but it's Dumbledore's fault for doing something so obvious that I caught wind of it.

Snape mentally analysed what Andy had said.

Although Andy's words sounded a little far-fetched, they made logical sense.

It was just that Snape was a little disbelieving, could a twelve-year-old young wizard have a mind as sharp as this?

Thinking of what Dumbledore had said earlier, Snape decided to test the waters, "Do you think that we can get rid of the Dark Lord as long as we destroy that dark magic item?"

"How is that possible?"

Andy looked at Snape as if he was looking at a retard, "If creating a dark magic item could let you avoid death, then I would definitely create as many as I could."

"Keep a few for yourself, have your men keep a few, and find a place where no one knows to hide a few."

"These should all be common sense, right?" Andy added at last.

Snape's forehead veins throbbed.

If it wasn't for the fact that the two were currently discussing a major event concerning the future of the magic world, Snape would have been tempted to give Andy a fifty-point deduction.

Snape looked at Andy, and Andy looked at Snape.

To be honest, Andy kind of wanted to pull in Snape.

He's a genius!

Improving magic potions, inventing magic spells, and not being as upright as Dumbledore.

Andy felt that Snape was qualified to be his assistant.

Only ...

Andy would probably be killed if he dared to say anything about pulling in Snape, right?
