Chapter 193 Little Snape, you can't beat me

"Bellatrix Lestrange!"

Snape uttered the name slowly, "You better meet her when you go to Azkaban for a visit."

Meet that crazy bitch?

Lucius Malfoy frowned, looking a little reluctant.

As far as he was concerned, the woman had gone completely insane.

"Fine!"

Lucius Malfoy didn't hesitate for too long, "What should I say to her after meeting her?"

"Say whatever you want."

Snape looked at Lucius and said lightly, "Those people...they'll all come out one day, won't they?"

Lucius Malfoy looked puzzled.

I'll admit that you have a bit of a point, as long as Voldemort is still alive, those people will come out sooner or later.

But did you make a special trip over here just to remind me of these insignificant little things?

Is your Owl flightless?

No matter how much Lucius Malfoy suspected, Snape had come over just to remind him of these two trivial matters.

After saying that, Snape didn't stay long and quickly left Malfoy Manor.

***

At six in the afternoon, Andy left the abandoned classroom on the fifth floor.

As he walked on the way to the great hall, Andy still made a few odd 'hissing' noises from time to time.

The Parseltongue was really hard to learn, especially when it was still impossible for Andy to understand it. Andy was worried that he would forget all of this after he woke up from a nap.

"Hmm?"

On the third floor of the castle, Andy looked at Snape, who was coming up to him, and raised an eyebrow, secretly gripping his wand in his robe.

"Good evening, Mr. Collins..." Snape began with a greeting as the corners of his lips tugged up in a slightly invisible curve.

"Good evening, Professor Snape." Andy was a little surprised but didn't show it.

Snape kept his eyes on Andy's changing expression and seeing that Andy didn't seem surprised that he had shown up, he changed his mind and asked, "Going to the Great Hall for dinner?"

"Yes! I hope I'm not too late." Andy gave a slightly frustrated expression.

Snape nodded and turned slightly sideways at his words.

"See you later, Professor!" Andy smiled and walked past Snape without looking fidgety.

Snape kept staring at Andy's back until Andy's figure disappeared into the stairway; before Snape turned towards the underground floor.

'He's here to test me?'

Andy quietly analysed in his mind, 'If it's to test me, then it means Snape has left the castle today.'

It seemed that Snape cared about this matter!

'That's also right! If Snape really wants to do something big, he should never let anyone know his whereabouts.'

Andy's gaze flickered slightly.

When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss is also gazing at you.

In the same way, when you test someone else, you also give away your secrets to them.

Snape had left the castle today.

That thing he was going to do, it wouldn't be at Hogwarts.

He couldn't let anyone else keep track of his whereabouts.

This thing might have something to do with Voldemort.

Slightly organizing his thoughts, Andy quickly figured out what Snape was thinking and what he was going to do next.

Little Snape, you can't fool me.

The corner of Andy's lips slightly raised an arc, 'Whether you are trying to deal with Voldemort, or you really care about Harry ... I hold a secret that you don't know.'

Harry Potter ... might be Voldemort's Horcrux.

Andy was looking forward to what price this secret could be sold to Snape.   

A huge sum of money? Or him working for me?

***

On the other side, upon returning to his office, Snape's expression immediately became serious.

Andy had guessed correctly, that one of the purposes of his leaving the castle today was indeed to test Andy - how on earth did he get hold of his whereabouts?

It would be hard for Snape to rest easy until he settled that question.

He had a job to do for Voldemort, to make a scene in Azkaban and free a Death Eater loyal to Voldemort.

Of course, Snape wasn't going to actually release anyone.

All he needed to do was make a scene and prove his 'loyalty' to Voldemort.

As for the Death Eater who had escaped Azkaban ... perhaps a Dementor's kiss would await him/her.

Snape hoped that person would be Sirius Black.

All this provided that no one knew he had left Hogwarts that day.

But Andy Collins grasped his whereabouts.

Which makes it tricky!

As a professor, Snape couldn't possibly lay a finger on his own students. He just wanted to find out Andy's secret and destroy it.

But this was obviously difficult.

Through these few encounters with Andy, Snape finally understood somewhat why Dumbledore's plan last year was destroyed by an eleven-year-old wizard.

In addition to his own outstanding magic talent, Andy Collins was equally outstanding in other aspects.

He was not an ordinary young wizard.

In contemplation, time passed little by little.

Thump!

A knock sounded on the door.

Snape looked at the office door with some surprise.

Who would come to him at this hour?

Snape directly waved his wand and the office door opened automatically.

"Professor!"

Andy stood in the doorway, "Sorry for the disturbance."

Snape, "..."

Andy walked into Snape's office with a straight face and closed the door behind him, his eyes glancing around the office.

"Collins ... I don't think I invited you in." Snape's tone was a little less than friendly.

"Is that so?"

Andy gestured to the door with a surprised look on his face, "You even opened the door for me, I thought that was a sign of letting me in."

"What can I do for you?" Snape decided to stop the useless talk.

"Professor, I heard you used to be a Death Eater?" Andy likewise got right to the point.

Snape's eyes blazed at Andy, this kid was crazy, right?

"Do you know anything about Voldemort?"

Andy ignored Snape's expression and talked to himself, "According to my investigation, Voldemort has experienced many dark magic transfigurations, and he has become disfigured as a result."

"Professor, do you know anything about magic transfiguration?"

Snape felt that Andy was a bit crazy, "You want to know the Dark Lord's secret?"

Andy made a direct offer, "I would never mention anything about you leaving the castle."

"In my office?"

Snape almost laughed in exasperation, "Since you know that I used to be a Death Eater, then you should understand ... what a Death Eater truly signifies?"

"Voldemort's lackeys? A bunch of misfits? Prisoners of Azkaban?"

Andy looked at Snape with an innocent face, "Professor, other than that, I really can't think of any other words that can describe the current Death Eaters."

You're very courageous!

Snape directly pulled out his wand, "Fear and death are what Death Eaters represent!"

Andy similarly pulled out his wand, his eyes looking a little bit excited, "To be honest, I've always wanted to play a duel with you. My mum said that you are a genius who created your own magic spells and improved magic potions when you were a student."

"Let me see it!"
