Chapter 199 Looking at the moon, talking about life, talking about ideals
In fact, Snape is not a nosy person. new
The reason why he was willing to fight against Voldemort was originally to protect Lily's safety, but now it is to protect Lily's children.
It has nothing to do with his own good or evil or alignment.
Without Lily, Snape felt that he would still be a Death Eater. Either he was imprisoned in Azkaban, or he was hiding in the wizarding world, waiting for Voldemort to come back.
As for Andy Collins…
Snape felt that no matter what the boy became in the end, it had nothing to do with him.
What about becoming the Dark Lord?
As long as it didn't hurt Harry, Snape didn't bother to care about such nonsense.
After saying those words, Snape himself was a little surprised.
He didn't want to say it originally.
"Maybe it's because you have been a professor for a long time?" Snape laughed at himself. After being a professor for a long time, you will unconsciously develop a sense of responsibility for your students.
This was Dumbledore's order!
Snape hated this sense of responsibility. He found a reason for himself, which made him feel more comfortable.
"I see!"
Dumbledore said calmly: "We cannot stop a student from pursuing magic - even if it is dangerous. New"
Snape looked at Dumbledore in surprise.
He didn't expect Dumbledore to say this.
He thought Dumbledore would stop Andy from continuing his research, or maybe ask Andy to come out and have a chat.
"This is not like you." Snape said calmly.
Dumbledore blinked and asked, "Are the principals and professors of Hogwarts going to ban their students from learning magic?"
"Magic transformation is a very dangerous magic." Snape emphasized.
"I'm glad you said that."
Dumbledore seemed to be in a good mood, "Collins is a very cautious little wizard. I think he will make his own judgment."
Dumbledore met many people in his life, and he taught thousands of students alone.
Andy Collins may be complicated, but Dumbledore trusts his own judgment - he thinks Andy is a very withdrawn person.
This kind of isolation is not a fear of interacting with others, but a disdain for interacting with others.
Among the young wizards of the same class, except Hermione, the equally outstanding young witch, Dumbledore didn't think anyone could be Andy's friend.
Even Ron, who had known Andy since childhood, was the same.
Dumbledore even felt that Andy didn't even care about the wizarding world.
He doesn't care about power, wealth, or fame, he only cares about magic.
"If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Snape did not dwell too much on this matter.
Dumbledore nodded slightly.
After Snape left, Dumbledore opened the drawer of his desk and took out a black notebook.
There is a transparent hole in the middle of the notebook, and there are some burn marks around the hole - that is the hole that was burned through by the strong fire.
"Tom..."
Dumbledore opened the notebook and gently stroked the burnt area with his old fingers.
After getting the notebook, Dumbledore tried to have a good chat with Voldemort when he was a student, but little Tom was unwilling to talk to him.
The communication failed, and Dumbledore could only destroy the Horcrux.
"Where would you hide the other Horcruxes?" Dumbledore muttered to himself.

Andy never thought that with the Marauder's Map in hand, he would be caught by Dumbledore.
Near the end of September, in order to obtain the last [potential point] as soon as possible, Andy spent most of his energy on practicing magic.
Not only magic spells, but also transformation techniques have made great breakthroughs.
If nothing unexpected happens, Andy feels that he can save seven [Potential Points] tonight and increase his [Charms] talent to level [7].
Seven is a magic number.
Andy felt that that might be the ultimate talent that a normal wizard could achieve.
Before leaving the dormitory, Andy had clearly checked the Marauder's Map. Dumbledore had been walking in circles in the office. How could he suddenly appear in the corridor on the eighth floor?
Damn it!
"Good evening, Principal Dumbledore." Andy greeted him first.
"Good evening, Mr. Collins." Dumbledore was standing by the window admiring the moonlight. He seemed to be disturbed by Andy. He was surprised when he heard the voice, and seemed to be curious about why Andy appeared here.
Andy silently complained, if there was no Marauder's Map, I would really have been deceived by you.
Andy could imagine that after the old principal knew that he was traveling at night, he used some method to get in front of him, and then pretended to be a master here.
Andy stood next to Dumbledore and looked out the window following Dumbledore's gaze.
The crescent moon hung over the Forbidden Forest, and the moon and stars were reflected on the water of the black lake. From here, the Forbidden Forest in the dark seems to have a strange charm.
"It's beautiful." Andy said.
"Yes! Even though I have seen it for many years, the night view of Hogwarts is still shocking." Dumbledore said with emotion.
This is true!
The night view of modern cities is equally beautiful, but the night view of Hogwarts has an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that cannot be achieved by any lighting and color decoration.
Andy did not speak, but accompanied Dumbledore to quietly watch the stars and the moon.
"Are you thinking about your little girlfriend? It's quite boring to watch the moon with an old man like me, isn't it?" Dumbledore teased.
This is also true!
"Looking at the moon with you is more exciting." Andy smiled.
Andy feels that the current atmosphere is quite strange.
Dumbledore smiled and said, "What do you want to do after graduation?"
"Stay in school and teach!" Andy said.
"I thought you wanted to do something greater," Dumbledore said.
"For example...?" Andy asked.
Dumbledore did not answer the question, but continued: "Collins, what do you think of Muggles?"
"What aspect are you asking about?" Andy also did not answer directly.
Dumbledore glanced sideways at Andy, "You can say whatever you want, just think of it as chatting with an old man like me."
Andy shrugged and said: "Muggles are people who can't use magic. Other than that, they are no different from us. The technology they master is not inferior to magic."
Dumbledore nodded, "What about the wizarding world?"
Andy gave Dumbledore a strange look. Is this old man a little strange tonight?
Do we really just look at the moon and talk about life and ideals?
"Principal, you are a little strange tonight." Andy said bluntly.
Dumbledore looked into the distance, "Many people in the wizarding world cannot think like you. They have been closed for too long and have been blind to changes in the outside world."
"This is dangerous!"
