Snape's eyes narrowed slightly.
This Andy Collins brat is really annoying, but it has to be said ... that he's smart enough that he doesn't seem like a second-year wizard at all.
Think about Potter and Weasley!
Those two idiots were normal second-year young wizards.
But, Snape didn't have the time to exchange pleasantries with Andy on some useless topics.
So he bluntly said, "If you want to inquire about the Dark Lord's secret, of course, you can only use the Dark Lord's secret in exchange."
Andy raised his eyebrows.
The Dark Lord's secret?
Andy looked at Snape with a playful look in his eyes, there is something this old bat doesn't know?
Is Dumbledore not being honest with him?
"Professor ..."
Andy suddenly said, "What do you think, how about the two of us cooperate? Headmaster Dumbledore should have hidden many things from you, right?"
"But I'm different, I never felt that those secrets were anything great. Keeping them hidden will only make those who believe in you feel bitter."
Andy decided to rope Snape in while he had the chance.
The old bat was working undercover on Voldemort's side, so he should be able to get a lot of useful information.
Rounding it up, this was a direct way to take Snape as a little brother!
It's a huge bargain!
Cooperation?
The corner of Snape's lips slightly twitched, this kid is too naive, right?
Also, what do you mean you never thought those secrets were anything special?
Is that why you told Granger my secrets?
"You want to cooperate with me?" Snape murmured in a sarcastic tone.
Andy spread his hands, "Dumbledore may be strong, but he can't be relied on, you should know that better than I do."
"That's right, the Headmaster is a good man, but his train of thought is way too lofty, way too high and a bit scary. He would sacrifice anyone - including himself - to fight Voldemort."
After a pause, Andy continued, "That's what I can see, and that's why I don't want to get close to the Headmaster."
"I'm just an ordinary person and ordinary people can get hurt if they get too close to a saint like the Headmaster if they're not careful."
Snape fell silent at that.
Anyone who knew Dumbledore had a common feeling - that you could always trust Dumbledore.
He just had that charm.
Dumbledore was powerful, and his influence, connections, and status in the magic world were by no means comparable to that of an ordinary wizard. He is kind, orderly, and self-sacrificing.
You can find any good points in him.
But just like Andy said, Dumbledore's ideological state is a bit scary.
It's just ...
If I can't trust Dumbledore, do I have to trust you?
It's not that Snape underestimates Andy, Andy's age is too young, even if Andy's magic talent is high, how many more years will it take for Andy to grow to the level of Dumbledore and Voldemort?
When Voldemort became famous in the magic world, he was already in his thirties and about to turn forty.
And Andy?
He is only twelve years old this year!
"I don't have the time to engage in such nonsense with you." Snape felt that Andy was a little too inflated and lacked the venomous beatings of society.
He needs to straighten him out when he gets a chance.
"Fine!" Andy sighed, pulling Snape's wool was obviously not something that could be done in a few words.
Firstly, Andy's strength wasn't too strong yet, and secondly, there was a gap in age and status between the two.
Snape is twenty years older than Andy, and he is a professor while Andy is a student.
These were all obstacles placed between the two.
Even for the sake of respect, Snape would not cooperate with Andy easily.
However, Andy believed in the saying that as long as the hoe was swung well, no corner could not be dug down.
Snape obviously lacked the venomous beating of society!
Andy thought in his heart that finding an opportunity to beat up Snape would indeed be the wisest decision.
"What do you want to know, Professor?" Andy asked.
Snape was silent for a moment, and then calmly said, "The secret of the Dark Lord's immortality ... you should also be very curious, right?"
"That one huh...!"
Andy smiled and said, "Actually, I already know the secret of Voldemort's immortality, it's just that method doesn't suit me and was given up by me."
Snape's heart shook!
This kid really did already know.
Snape suddenly somewhat understood where the gap between himself and people like Dumbledore, Voldemort, and Andy lies.
All along, Snape had considered himself a genius.
He was able to invent magic spells, improve the formula of magic potions, and was extremely obsessed with magic when he was a student. If it hadn't been for James Potter having three friends, Snape didn't think he couldn't beat him.
But Voldemort already possessed unrivalled strength in the magic world when he was his age - he was only under Dumbledore alone.
Seeing Andy Collins in front of him ...
Snape suddenly realized that all of them actually had a few things in common. That is, they all have a pair of eyes that are good at finding things clearly, as well as a brain that is good at thinking.
There were plenty of good thinkers, but not all of them could find the right path to take.
"What is it?" Snape's voice was a little hoarse.
"The Horcrux!"
Andy grinned, "Rip out your soul by killing someone, then put it in a container and protect it with magic."
"In this way, even if your body dies, you still have a part of your soul present in the world."
"Based on the principle of 'one soul', your main soul will not die with your body, and as long as you find the opportunity, you can use magic to remake your body."
Andy looked at Snape and continued, "This is the secret of Voldemort's immortality ..."
"It's stupid, isn't it?"
"A lack of a finger would cause you a great deal of inconvenience in your daily life, let alone ... a lack of a soul."
Snape's eyes were a little hollow, a sign that the occlumency was in full operation.
Horcrux... Horcrux...
So that's it!
Snape suddenly understood why Dumbledore was reluctant to tell this secret to others.
It was because, for the vast majority of people in the magic world, a Horcrux would be an irresistible temptation. And once everyone makes Horcruxes, the entire community will be thrown into turmoil.
But what was even more frightening was that someone like Andy, who pursued power and longevity, could resist the temptation of a Horcrux.
No, he even disdained it.
Keeping the soul intact ... is it because there is a greater goal to pursue?
In addition to power and eternal life, what else did he want?
This boy, perhaps, is even more dangerous than Voldemort.
Snape thought in his mind, 'No wonder Voldemort's character is so extreme; because he created more than one Horcrux, and his soul has become incomplete after many splits.'
'Black magic transfiguration, splitting the soul to create Horcruxes ... leads to a darker mind ...'
Snape understood that this was the secret to Voldemort's power.
Andy looked at Snape and raised his eyebrows, "Your turn, Professor."
"Dark magic transfiguration ... Voldemort's secret to being powerful."
