Snape nodded. He had no objection to this, but Snape did not completely trust Andy either.
It wasn't that he didn't trust Andy's abilities.
It was just that Andy was not related to Harry, so how would Andy help Harry wholeheartedly?
As for being friends... Ha! That was even more nonsense.
Snape did not believe that Andy would consider Harry a friend.
It was just like Dumbledore.
He said he would protect Lily, but Lily ended up dying anyway.
He also said he would protect Harry, but Harry is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, and if you want to kill Voldemort, you have to kill Harry first.
And Dumbledore hid this from him!
So Snape's current mindset is: I don't trust anyone.
Dumbledore is one layer of protection, and so is Andy.
With these two layers of protection, Snape believes that with his own abilities, he can completely ensure Harry's safety.
"Can I borrow this book?" Andy suddenly asked.
Snape pushed the book over to him. "I borrowed it from Lucius a while ago, and I have to return it to him before Christmas."
Andy looked at Snape in shock.
You have such bushy eyebrows and big eyes, and I thought you were a good person, but I never imagined that you...
You actually wanted me to attack the Malfoy manor study?
Snape: "?"
For some reason, as soon as Snape saw Andy's expression, he immediately understood what Andy meant.
Snape wanted to curse!
"You better not do it!"
Snape said, with a headache. "Lucius is on high alert now. He betrayed the Dark Lord and defected to Dumbledore. Any slight noise will make him nervous, and he may even flee the British wizarding community."
"If you want to read books, I can help you borrow them."
Snape fully believed that once Andy thought that Malfoy Manor had ancient magic books, he would definitely ransack the Malfoy Manor study.
In Snape's eyes, Andy was the kind of scary guy who would do anything for the sake of studying magic.
Not to mention Malfoy Manor; even the Ministry of Magic could not stop Andy's footsteps.
Snape didn't want to see Andy destroy his old schoolmate's ancestral home.
When he was at school, Lucius looked after him quite a bit.
Andy: "..."
"I'm not that kind of person," Andy said stubbornly.
Snape looked disgusted.
"Well..."
Andy deliberated for a moment, "Professor, could you borrow some books for me on Soul, Obscurus, and magic transfiguration? I've been studying these lately."
"Yes," Snape nodded.
"Thank you!" Andy said.
After giving Andy a look, Snape asked indifferently, "You're researching Obscurus and magic transfiguration?"
"Mm-hm!" Andy shrugged.
Snape nodded without saying anything.
After finishing the business, Andy and Snape suddenly found themselves at a loss for words.
"Then this matter is settled!"
Andy got up and said, "After the research has produced results, we can plan carefully."
"And another thing... Even if you want to save someone, you have to wait until we find all the Horcruxes. As you know, there's no other way to find Voldemort's Horcruxes except through the soul fragments' mutual sense."
Snape: "..."
He almost forgot about this.
After Andy's reminder, Snape suddenly realised why Dumbledore went to such lengths to train Harry. Because he wanted Harry to find Voldemort's Horcruxes!
Voldemort's own hand-marked enemies...
It has to be said that the prophecy was quite accurate.
Voldemort, who possessed the Horcruxes, was equal to having immortality, and someone who could find all the Horcruxes was no different from Voldemort's greatest enemy.
In contrast, Lily's protection spell was actually just the beginning of this fateful encounter.
Snape's face looked a little unpleasant.
The enemy Snape thought Harry would be: after 300 rounds of battle with Voldemort in the Astronomy Tower, he had finally won the battle with difficulty.
The real arch-enemy: the person who found the Horcrux.
Seeing Snape's gloomy face and his silence, Andy had to remind him, "If we pull out the soul fragments now, we'll be helping Voldemort."
"Without the Horcruxes, we can't kill him."
Snape's eyes closed slightly.
He understood this logic perfectly.
Harry must be the last Horcrux to be destroyed.
Andy: "..."
After a moment of silence, Andy turned around and left.
Now that he had reminded him, Andy felt that Snape could handle the situation rationally.
If Voldemort could not be defeated, Harry would still die.
In fact, when you think about it, Snape's situation is really quite miserable.
The girl he liked married someone else and was eventually killed.
The girl's son's life was in danger at any time, but he could do nothing about it and could only watch helplessly.
Not only that, but Snape himself had to lurk around the murderer of the girl, grovelling at his feet every day and doing his best to get things done.
It was just so miserable to be powerless!
Andy sighed and then shook his head.
Using Snape as a negative example, Andy vowed that he would never become like Snape.
By the time Andy arrived in the Great Hall, Hermione had already finished her lunch and was sitting at the Ravenclaw table, absorbed in her book.
"Hi!" Andy said and sat down next to Hermione.
'The Truth About Death and Hell...'
Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Did you go to the library?"
"Let's talk about other things for now," Andy said.
Hermione nodded without asking any questions.
After lunch, there was still more than an hour before the afternoon class started. As there was nothing else to do, Andy picked up the book 'The Truth About Death and Hell' and started reading.
As the title suggests, this book has nothing to do with spells. It doesn't teach you magic; instead, it reveals the mysteries of death.
The author of the book explores the mysteries of death step by step, starting with the soul. He mentions the Deathly Hallows and also mentions Hell—probably the world behind the curtain.
Many of the ideas in the book are similar to Andy's, but there are also big differences.
The author believes that the soul comes from another time and space, and after a person dies, it returns to hell, where it will be punished—deprived of human emotions, feeling eternal loneliness and cold for an endless time.
The content is more mythological.
But if you treat it as a true story, it still matches some of Andy's views.
Most importantly, it is written in great detail.
It is much more detailed than Andy's vague speculations.
Andy continued reading.
'This, this is...'
Flipping to a new chapter, Andy's eyes lit up.
