That's what I said!
Andy gave a 'so that's how it is' look and patted Snape's arm consolingly.
Buddy...alas! My condolences.
No wonder Snape was so eager to go to the Department of Mysteries to see the curtain in the Death Chamber. The same was true for this trip to Azkaban. Snape set the time and suggested splitting up.
He's been taking the initiative a lot more recently.
Andy was a little puzzled at first, but now he understands.
After seeing Lily in that state, it was hard on him!
Andy recalled.
Indeed, more than one person had told Andy about this, and even the Tale of the Three Brothers recorded it—the spirits of the dead summoned by the Resurrection Stone were full of pessimism and emptiness.
They would drag you down to death with them.
From the information Andy had received, Lily seemed like the kind of person full of enthusiasm and optimism, bright and clever, and always willing to help her classmates.
Andy glanced at Snape—it seemed that he had already come to believe that the dead spirit summoned was Lily, believing that Lily had been pulled into the world of the dead, where all joy and hope had been taken from her.
To be honest, he was a little infatuated.
Did he not have the slightest doubt?
Wait a minute...
Andy suddenly remembered something.
After seeing the Resurrection Stone, Dumbledore couldn't wait to borrow it because he wanted to see his sister.
But Andy still clearly remembers Dumbledore saying that the Deathly Hallows were just high-level alchemical items and that the souls of the dead summoned by the Resurrection Stone were just the impressions of the dead in our hearts.
When he said this, he shone with the radiance of a wise man.
Did he lie to me?
It was this sentence that made Andy question the origin of the Deathly Hallows for a long time.
However, whether it was Dumbledore's reaction when he saw the Resurrection Stone or his attitude against Andy continuing to investigate Death, all of this information seemed to prove that Dumbledore never believed that the Deathly Hallows were fake.
Otherwise, he would not have bothered.
Old liar!
Andy cursed in his heart and then asked, "Professor, how much do you know about Ekrizdis?"
Snape said indifferently, "I've only heard of the name."
"When I first learnt about the Dementor, I assumed it was a product of research on the Obscurus," Andy folded his arms and said. "But the more I learnt, the more I felt that the Dementor's abilities were similar to those of Death."
"The research direction of Ekrizdis may be the magic of death."
"Another point is that only wizards can develop Obscurus, but Ekrizdis captured many Muggles for experimentation."
Snape did not follow up on this topic.
He really didn't know much about Ekrizdis.
Because, in Snape's opinion, it was better to study the behaviour of a dead person than a Dementor.
After exchanging information with Andy, Snape felt even more that the Dementor was a product of the study of death. Every time he thought about this, Snape's heart burnt with impatience.
Lily was still suffering in that world!
He couldn't wait to resurrect Lily.
Unlike Andy, Snape never questioned the authenticity of the Deathly Hallows—because Andy had told him that Dumbledore had borrowed the Resurrection Stone.
If Dumbledore believed the Resurrection Stone was real, why would he question its authenticity?
In the wizarding world, Dumbledore was the authority!
What's more, Andy had also said that the Resurrection Stone could absorb the power behind the curtain—and that curtain was now in the Death Chamber of the Department of Mysteries.
"Professor..."
Andy suddenly said, "If you are going to study the Dementor...can you share the results with me? In exchange, I can also help you."
Snape looked at Andy for a long time and then said, "Collins...at nine o'clock tonight, I need to use the Time-Turner again."
Andy's eyes lit up upon hearing this: "Professor, take me along."
Indeed, tonight was an excellent time to invade the Ministry of Magic.
First, the Ministry's senior management was attacked, so they have no energy to deal with Ministry matters at the moment.
Second, the Death Eaters have just attacked Azkaban, rescued the convicted criminal Peter Pettigrew, and injured nearly ten Ministry staff members, including the Minister of Magic, Fudge.
In the minds of normal people, the Death Eaters should be hiding in a corner and trembling in fear.
In the end, to restore the Ministry's reputation, the uninjured Aurors and Hit Wizards should still be searching for the Death Eaters' traces all over the place, not guarding the Ministry.
Under these circumstances, the Ministry's defence tonight must be very weak.
Because, no one could have imagined that after attacking Azkaban, the Death Eaters would invade the Ministry again later that night—this is rubbing the Ministry's face in the dirt.
Because no one would have thought of it, the chances are very precious tonight.
"Collins..."
Snape said in a rare kind tone, "If you want to get information about the dementor, you better give up tonight's chance."
Andy: "?"
Professor, what do you mean?
Andy looked at Snape with disbelief: Professor, aren't you happy to be with me?
"You were alone when you broke into the Department of Mysteries last time, so Dumbledore didn't suspect you."
Snape said slowly. "But if we act together, Dumbledore will suspect it was us."
Andy thought about it.
Yes, if he broke into the Ministry with Snape, it would indeed make Dumbledore suspicious.
The best thing to do now is to stay in the castle.
The people who attacked Azkaban were Andy and Snape, and after the incident, the two of them stayed at Hogwarts and didn't go anywhere.
A certain dark wizard saw an opportunity and once again invaded the Department of Mysteries.
But if I go alone...
Without a house elf, Andy didn't want to take the risk.
"I understand,"
Andy smiled and said, "I'll go to the Headmaster's office at 7 o'clock tonight and sit there for a while. I'll meet you here at 9 o'clock."
Snape's expression turned grim: This kid wants me to take the fall for him!
"Collins...you have the Time-Turner, but time cannot testify for you."
To make Andy stop for a while, Snape decides to betray Dumbledore: "Dumbledore dismissed his suspicions about you because you signed up for all the elective courses."
Andy understood what Snape meant after just a little thought.
Indeed, Andy had obtained the Time-Turner by enrolling in elective courses...this was enough to dispel Dumbledore's suspicions.
"Thank you!"
Andy touched his nose. "Professor...to be honest, I'm currently feeling quite full of myself, so thank you for reminding me."
"Okay, I'll try to be more honest in the near future."
Snape was instantly relieved to hear this.
