Chapter 712: Andy Collins, Born Evil
After lunch, Andy left the auditorium, found an empty corner, cast the Disillusionment Charm, and then walked out of the castle quietly.
Outside the castle, the magical barrier covering the entire Hogwarts has completely dissipated.
The little wizards were surrounding the professor, chattering and asking questions non-stop, occasionally letting out a few exclamations and gasps of surprise.
Andy avoided the crowd and came to the forbidden forest alone.
Spider End Alley.
Snapped!
The air exploded and Andy's figure appeared out of nowhere.
Spider's Tail is a dirty lane in Cokeworth. It is littered with rubbish and there is a dirty river running through the lane.
On one side of the alley were rows of dilapidated brick houses with dark windows, looking lifeless.
Number 23, Spider's End Alley. Andy knocked on the door politely.
Bang bang bang!
After waiting for a while, the door was opened from the inside.
Snape glanced at Andy with a gloomy expression, "Mr. Collins... If I remember correctly, Hogwarts should be a boarding school."
"Yes! There's nothing wrong with your memory."
Andy smiled and said, "It's a pity that you are not a professor now, otherwise you would definitely deduct 50 points from me."
"I will fire you!" Snape said with disgust, but he slightly turned his body and motioned Andy to go in quickly.
Now that everyone is here, what else can he do?
He is just a poor, weak and helpless professor.
Oh, not anymore.
Andy walked into the room and chuckled, "Professor Flitwick wouldn't approve of you doing this, and neither would Professor McGonagall or Professor Dumbledore."
"I'm their favorite student!"
Snape: "..."
There was only a worn-out sofa, an armchair, and a table in the dim room. The walls were covered with books, many of which were tied with black leather belts.
Apparently, the books here are dangerous.
This is a book on dark magic.
"There's nothing to offer you here," Snape said in a harsh tone.
"Um……"
Andy paused for a moment. "Obviously, I can see that."
"There's been no progress on that either," Snape continued.
Andy nodded slightly when he heard this.
Voldemort has only been dead for a few days. As an important member of the Death Eaters, Snape obviously has not been idle these days.
"besides……"
Snape sat in an armchair and said calmly, "In a few days, the Ministry of Magic will hold a trial for the Death Eaters, and I will also testify in court."
Andy: "..."
Snape's meaning was very clear - I don't have time!
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry."
Andy sat on the sofa, looked at Snape and asked, "I came here this time to talk to you about Dumbledore's problem."
Snape's pupils narrowed.
Collins...does he want to attack Dumbledore?
No! If that were the case, he would never come to me.
So what is his purpose?
For a moment, Snape's eyes became empty again.
Andy pursed his lips and continued, "Professor, you and Dumbledore have known each other for decades. You have been his student, enemy, and collaborator... Your relationship is very strange."
"so……"
"What kind of person do you think Dumbledore is?"
After a pause, Andy said meaningfully: "In Hogwarts, Dumbledore is a beloved headmaster. In the eyes of others, Dumbledore is a respectable elder."
"But...with all due respect, I think that sometimes Dumbledore can seem a little...um...ruthless!"
"Forgive me for saying that about an old man."
Snape's expression remained unchanged.
What kind of person is Dumbledore?
There is no doubt that Snape trusts Dumbledore. But this question makes Snape feel complicated.
Because he couldn't tell.
"Are you questioning Dumbledore?" Snape asked back.
"of course not!"
Andy spread his hands and said, "In fact, I don't care what kind of person Dumbledore is. I just want to know. Well... a little curious, that's all."
Snape looked at Andy and said slowly: "Of course you can think so. It's your freedom."
"So, what about you?" Andy asked.
Snape was silent for a while, and his mind unconsciously recalled every detail of his time with Dumbledore.
There is no doubt that Dumbledore is a respectable elder in every respect.
No one can find fault with it.
but……
As Andy said, sometimes Dumbledore does give people a feeling of being cold and heartless.
Maybe he's just too rational!
But reason itself is an emotion far away from sensibility.
Reason decides everything, which is actually ruthless!
If that's the case, how could Dumbledore give people a sense of flesh and blood?
This is very contradictory!
Snape still didn't answer. He asked again: "Collins, what exactly do you want to do?"
Compared to the mysterious Dumbledore, in Snape's eyes, Andy in front of him is undoubtedly more dangerous.
"Professor, you seem to distrust me?" Andy asked.
Snape said nothing.
Isn't this obvious?
Andy's attitude towards human life still made Snape feel creepy, even though the other party was a Death Eater.
Because Andy is too young!
A teenage wizard can calmly raise his wand and kill people, and he doesn't even feel the slightest bit of discomfort after killing someone.
In this case, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is inherently evil.
"Um……"
Andy pondered for a moment and said, "Professor, you should know that I am studying love. Of course, Dumbledore is also studying this."
Snape: "..."
Smiling, Andy continued, "Do you know Dumbledore when he was young?"
"He and Grindelwald searched for the Deathly Hallows together and tried to establish a new order where wizards would rule over Muggles."
"Of course, we all know what happened later."
"Dumbledore has given up!"
"He has been teaching at Hogwarts for nearly a hundred years... We can even say that all wizards in the British wizarding world today are Dumbledore's students."
"I have studied ..."
At this point, Andy raised his eyebrows.
“Love and death…are two forces that are closely related and yet completely opposite.”
"Dumbledore chose love!"
"So he spent nearly a hundred years making himself fall in love with the wizarding world."
"His feelings are genuine, I never doubt that!"
"But if I'm right..."
After a pause, Andy looked at Snape, who was looking serious and shocked, and continued, "If I'm right, Dumbledore is waiting for an opportunity to sublimate the one he loves."
"He will die!"
