Early the next morning, the entire castle was in an uproar.
The young wizards were mingling and discussing the attack on Malfoy last night, and they were poking around through various channels to find out more information related to the attack.
Someone from the Slytherin side had already been to the Hospital Wing's ward to see Malfoy, and according to the latest news that came from there, Malfoy had been attacked by a very evil dark magic.
The news left the young wizards in an uproar.
Harry and Ron could actually use dark magic.
The news quickly spread, and the young wizards discussed it with great vigour.
Think about it, Harry Potter was the boy who defeated the Dark Lord.
How did he defeat the most evil Dark Lord ever?
With dark magic, of course!
That explains it all.
All at once, wherever Harry and Ron walked, the young wizards retreated. It was as if by retreating a little later, Harry and Ron would attack them immediately.
"Uh, sorry!"
A certain little Gryffindor wizard stood warily in front of Harry and Ron, "I should have lent you my homework last week, it's my homework for this week..."
While saying that, the little wizard also trembled and handed Harry his homework.
Being misunderstood as a perpetrator by everyone, Ron was a bit annoyed at first, but he soon began to enjoy this feeling.
It was like everyone was afraid of them!
Ron took the young wizard's homework as soon as it was handed to him, "Very good..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Ron heard a sinister voice from behind him, "I didn't realize that our famous saviour Harry Potter...and his lackey, would need to copy someone else's homework as well."
"Five points deduction! Five points deduction...for each person!"
Snape swept his slightly hollow pupils over Harry and Ron and said in a sarcastic tone, "Potter, Weasley! If you try to make up some lies to gain attention...I will advise Headmaster Dumbledore to expel you from Hogwarts."
Harry and Ron were shaking with anger.
They felt that the man who had attacked Malfoy should have attacked Snape in the process.
Andy watched the scene as he ate his breakfast.
This was a great meal.
Seeing Snape glance his way, Andy even waved at him.
Snape: "..."
This kid seems to be getting a little carried away lately.
Snape walked over to him, determined to cause Andy a bit of trouble.
"Hi! Professor, have you had breakfast yet? Want to join us for some?" Andy greeted familiarly.
Snape looked at Andy coldly.
He is not a Death Eater now, otherwise he would have shown Andy how to behave.
Andy had some regrets.
This sloppy-haired Snape is not easy to get along with!
"You better be careful these days," Snape said faintly.
"Uh... " Andy sniffed.
Why should I?
Do you want to cause trouble for me?
That obviously?
Snape's voice was quiet as he said, seemingly absent-mindedly, "You taught Malfoy that trick to drive Quirrell away, didn't you?"
Andy's eyes twitched slightly.
So, you're here to warn me?
"Thanks, Professor, I'll be careful!" Andy said gratefully.
I didn't expect that Snape, who seemed to be sinister and vicious, was actually quite humane!
Including the things he had warned Harry and Ron about earlier, it was obvious that he didn't want them to blindly blurt out something.
It's just that... the attitude is probably a bit underdone.
Snape looked at Andy with spooky eyes.
Does this boy know?
Snape did come over to remind Andy to be careful.
After all, Quirrell would soon get together with Malfoy, and once Quirrell knew something from Malfoy, there was no guarantee that he would not become infuriated and directly attack Andy.
But this Andy kid...
Looking at his grateful look, it was obvious that he had known that there was something wrong with Quirrell for a long time.
How did he know that?
Andy blinked with a dumbfounded expression, ''What the professor means is that the person who attacked Malfoy was Quirrell? But...didn't Professor Quirrell leave Hogwarts already?"
Snape looked at Andy, his voice was soft, "He always has a way out, doesn't he?"
Andy mismatched his eyes with Snape's, "That's true! I'll be careful, thanks, Professor."
Snape didn't say a word.
The boy even knew to avoid eye-to-eye contact in case he resorted to Legilimency.
Surely not an ordinary little wizard!
"Severus!"
A voice rang out and Andy turned his head to look.
The visitor was an adult wizard, looking to be about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with platinum blonde hair and a passing resemblance to Malfoy.
"Lucius!"
Snape glanced at Andy before turning towards the great hall doors, with Lucius Malfoy quickly following.
"Hoo-"
Hermione finally dared to catch her breath as she leaned close to Andy and asked in a low voice, "Andy, what does Professor Snape mean? Was it really Quirrell who attacked Malfoy?"
Snape's voice was low, but Hermione was sitting right next to Andy, and she had more or less overheard some of the conversation.
"If Professor Snape says so, maybe it was!"
Andy didn't hide it, it was good to have the young witch somewhat on guard.
Hermione wondered a little, "But how did he do it?"
"How should I know?"
Andy spread his hands and sighed, "I can't believe that Quirrell is such a person, that he would take revenge on a little first-year wizard."
"And..."
At that, Andy lowered his voice, "If Quirrell is really capable of such things, then why didn't he give us a proper lesson?"
Hermione whispered, "You mean... he's here at Hogwarts with a plot?"
"Uh-huh!" Andy cocked his head.
"That's why Professor Snape made it a point to come over and warn you."
Hermione perked up, "If Quirrell knows something from Malfoy, then the next target of his attack - it's you!"
After saying that, Hermione looked at Andy with a worried look on her face, as if Andy was going to die the next moment.
"No, we have to go tell the professor!" Hermione pulled Andy and was about to go to Professor Flitwick.
"The professors already know."
Andy pulled the young witch back, "It was Professor Snape who came over to remind me, did you forget?"
Hermione was immediately relieved at that, "Hogwarts has Professor Dumbledore, as long as you stay at Hogwarts you're safe."
Malfoy had just been attacked last night.
Safe my arse!
Andy rolled his eyes, not bothering to argue with the young witch.
Quirrell's plan was already obvious, and by the meaning of Snape, Dumbledore had obviously guessed Quirrell's plan as well.
Since this was the case, then the next step was just to be careful and on guard.
"Alright, let's eat! Don't worry about those useless stuff."
Andy said indifferently, "Anyway, I will be more careful next and won't give Quirrell the chance to attack me."
