"Andy, you mean ..."
Hermione looked at Andy with a shocked face after reading the paper.
She thought of Snape, who was missing on the marauder's map that night ... Andy also said that Snape might make big news out of it.
Today's news is big!
Andy shrugged and didn't say anything, you have to realize this kind of thing on your own, Andy wouldn't say anything out loud here.
Andy's mouth was very tight.
Hermione covered her mouth in shock.
She came to her realization!
This whole thing was Snape's doing!
Hermione moved closer to Andy and asked in a whisper, "Andy, do you think Dumbledore knows about this?"
Hermione was worried, that if Snape was a real Death Eater, and he had fooled Dumbledore, then it would be too dangerous to let Snape remain at Hogwarts.
Who knew if he would attack the young wizards at the school?
"I learned his secret and he didn't do anything to me, doesn't that reassure you?" Andy said.
Andy could feel that Snape hated him, but he didn't have murderous intentions towards him.
This was the most direct evidence.
Hermione thought of the conversation between Andy and Snape at the castle gates that day and gave Andy a somewhat worried look, "What if you've been deceived by him too?"
Andy gave Hermione a helpless look, "Then go ask Dumbledore and see if he knows or not, it's not a big deal."
"It's not a big deal?" Hermione glared at Andy without amusement.
Speaking of this, Hermione suddenly twisted her head to look at the newspaper, and then looked at Andy with an odd expression, "It says that the Death Eater who attacked Azkaban has been killed by Auror."
"That's great!"
Andy pretended to cheer, "We can skip class for this morning."
It is Monday, and the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will have two Potions classes in a row.
Hermione smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Let me see the paper," Andy said.
Taking the paper, Andy looked at the other reports and was surprised to see an article written by his aunt, Ashia Collins, in an inconspicuous spot.
It's so miserable, it can't even attract the attention of others.
Andy mourned for a second.
All the reports in today's Daily Prophet were centred around the attack on Azkaban, and Andy also unexpectedly saw a second report written by Rita Skeeter.
Following the old routine, Andy ruled out the nonsense.
In this report, Rita Skeeter directly pointed out that Fudge had lied, and that Auror had not killed the Death Eater who had attacked Azkaban at all, but had let him escape.
She also claimed that Fudge may have taken money from the Death Eaters and intentionally sold information about Azkaban's guards to the Death Eaters.
Of course, that latter claim might be false.
Rita Skeeter had that knack of mixing true stories with false ones to create a buzz and cause trouble for the person the article was being published about, while at the same time not making everyone believe her article and giving herself some leeway to mitigate the situation.
But that previous claim is true.
Because Andy hadn't been notified that the Potions class had been cancelled.
'How did she find out about this?'
Andy was surprised, 'Are her informants everywhere in the magic world?'
***
After breakfast, Andy and Hermione made their way to the Potions' classroom, where they were met with a perfectly intact Professor Snape.
As soon as Snape walked to the podium, he swept his gaze in Andy and Hermione's direction.
Seeing Hermione's slightly complicated and sceptical look, as well as Andy's playful expression, a pang of depression ran through Snape's heart.
This loud-mouthed bastard!
The two Potions classes passed peacefully.
Snape didn't pick on Andy or Hermione in class; as much as he wanted to deduct points from Andy, and incidentally detain him up for a semester, Andy knew too many of his secrets.
Andy knew he was a Death Eater.
Andy knew that he had attacked Azkaban.
Andy also knew about him and Lily.
What's more, Snape seriously suspected that Andy had guessed what he was aiming to do by attacking Azkaban.
After all, the boy was smart.
So Snape could only choose to continue to ignore Andy.
As long as Andy was treated as a mass of air, no one would know the secrets he, Severus Snape, had hidden in his heart.
"Collins ..."
As Andy was about to walk out of the Potions classroom, Snape's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Stay a moment."
Hermione looked at Andy with a worried face and glanced at Snape with a suspicious look.
Although Andy has always said that Snape is a good person, the image ... of Snape is not very trustworthy!
The other young wizards were looking at Andy with a sympathetic face, being detained by Snape is the most terrible thing at Hogwarts.
Neville Longbottom personally proved it.
"You go ahead and eat, don't worry."
Andy patted Hermione, signalling that she didn't need to worry, and then closed the door to the Potions' classroom with his backhand.
Taking his wand and flicking it at the classroom door, he locked the door and added a
Imperturbable Charm in one fell swoop.
Putting his wand away, Andy looked at Snape and smiled, "Are you keeping me for lunch, Professor Snape? Or do you have a hush money for me?"
Snape's expression looked nauseous as if he had eaten a fly, and he barely managed to crack a smile, "It seems that you have already guessed it."
"Mm-hmm!"
Andy shrugged, "Your failure in this operation will cause Voldemort to become even more desperate, have you thought about what to do?"
Snape's face hardened a fraction more.
"Collins ..."
There was a hint of warning in Snape's tone, "It's good to be smart, but knowing too much can put you in a dangerous position."
That was true.
Knowing too much was a recipe for death in itself.
"Who?"
Andy was bloated, "You? Or that ... Lucius Malfoy guy?"
There's no need to worry about Snape.
As for Lucius Malfoy ...
It wasn't that Andy looked down on him, the Malfoy family was now a single line, and there was nothing to fear about their family except their money.
Especially, Andy was very inflated now.
"Senior Malfoy, won't stop caring about his son, will he?" Andy threatened in turn.
Snape looked at Andy with dangerous eyes.
This kid was really good material to be the Dark Lord, smart, cunning, gifted, and reckless.
Not to mention that Lucius Malfoy still knew nothing about Andy's situation, even if he did, the words Andy had just said would still be able to make Lucius Malfoy not dare to act rashly.
Snape pondered for some time, but he couldn't think of anything he could say to threaten Andy in return.
"Don't say anything!" Snape warned.
"Of course, I'm very tight-lipped." Andy spread his hands.
Tight My Arse!
Snape almost cursed, now even that little witch Granger knew his secret, Andy Collins' mouth was less reliable than Voldemort's love.
