"You..." Helen paused.
If it is possible, she would stuff this little brat in front of her back into her stomach, remodel him, and then give birth to a child with a normal brain.
Andy stood there with a good-boy expression, blinking his eyes and trying to muddle through.
"Tell me from beginning to end what you've done."
Helen said anxiously, "Don't hide a thing!"
Andy nodded and chose to confess. "Okay! Here's what happened. The night before last, I..."
From the sneak attack on Dawlish to escaping from the Ministry of Magic, Andy told the whole story from beginning to end.
"I didn't leave any evidence, and the Ministry of Magic would never suspect a thirteen-year-old."
Andy put his hands up, "This matter will soon become an unsolved case."
Helen put a hand to her forehead. "So, the Apparition of a house elf can ignore the Ministry's Anti-Apparition Charm? My Goodness, this is terrifying. No one has discovered this for all these years."
Andy shrugged. "Who cares about a slave?"
"And..."
Helen suddenly snapped, "When did you get mixed up with Black? Do you even know who he is? He's the craziest Death Eater there is!"
Andy sighed and had to explain, "I was going to capture Black and collect the reward from the Ministry. That's 10,000 gold galleons, plus I would get to show off and maybe even get the Order of Merlin."
"But he was wrongly convicted."
"I have already written to Dumbledore, and he is aware of the situation. Soon, Dumbledore will help clear Black's name and prove his innocence."
Helen: "..."
"How much else are you hiding from us?" Helen asked, glaring at Andy.
"...I don't think there is anything else," Andy said, cautiously.
"You don't think?" Helen raised her eyebrows.
Andy quickly changed the subject, "Mum, let's talk about being a witness! I have an appointment with Professor Snape at 3:00 p.m., and there are only two hours left."
Helen sighed. She kept telling herself in her heart that this was her own child, and if the child got into trouble, she, as the child's mother, had to help him get out of it.
Thinking this, Helen looked at Andy again with a different mood.
"..."
Sure enough... I still want to stuff him back in my stomach!
"This matter is not important!" Helen said in a flat tone.
When Andy heard this, he became anxious, "Why it isn't important?"
Helen glared at Andy, "If it has to be him, then I can only go with you to see him."
Oh!
Andy immediately said humbly, "Thank you, Mum!"
"Why do you have to go see that Slytherin?"
Helen said with some dissatisfaction, "What exactly is the potion? Can't you let me help with the analysis?"
Andy thought to himself, what level are you? Don't you have an idea?
"This is it!"
Andy took out a small crystal vial from his pocket. The vial was filled with an ink-green liquid, and in the liquid swam a small, exquisite human brain.
"I got this in the Brain Room,"
Andy explained. "These brains are still alive, and they can even use Legilimency attacks. This ink-green liquid ensures that the brain can be active, and I suspect that these brains still have some thinking ability."
Helen took the crystal vial with a serious face and frowned, saying, "Has the Department of Mysteries been studying these?"
Andy said, "They are studying a lot of strange magical powers. This time I infiltrated the Department of Mysteries and went to the Brain Room, the Time Room, and the Death Chamber."
Helen sighed upon hearing this.
In fact, Helen did have a little self-awareness.
She knew she couldn't handle this potion.
"That Slytherin..."
Helen asked suspiciously, "Why would he come and see you? You asked him to help you research potions and made him swear an 'Unbreakable Vow'… no one would normally agree to something like that."
"Well… we did have other deals," Andy said while looking at Helen carefully.
Helen looked at Andy.
"It's the Resurrection Stone. I got it."
Andy confessed, "You know, Snape has a girl he likes, and the Resurrection Stone can let him see her."
Helen: "..."
"I don't even want to ask you what the Resurrection Stone is."
Helen decided to play it cool, "While we're still young, your father, and I am going to have another child."
Andy: "..."
No, you already have two good products, why do you suddenly want to make a trumpet?
Helen patted Andy on the shoulder, "If you're ever captured and taken to Azkaban, your father and I will visit you there with your younger siblings."
"That is; if you're still alive by then."
Andy: "..."
"And it's best if you don't tell your father about this."
Helen continued, "I'm afraid he'll be scared to death."
"I Know!" Andy sighed.
"What do you mean by Resurrection Stone?" Helen asked.
"I thought you weren't going to ask," Andy sighed.
"Hm?" Helen raised an eyebrow.
"I found it in the old Gaunt family house…" Omitting the part about Voldemort and the Horcruxes, Andy gave a rough account of how he had obtained the Resurrection Stone.
***
2.50 pm.
Andy and Helen Apparated to Hogsmeade.
Three Broomsticks Inn.
"Welcome!" The owner of the inn, Madam Rosmerta, said with a warm smile.
"Hello!"
Andy asked, "Has Professor Snape arrived yet?"
Madam Rosmerta raised an eyebrow, "He's on the second floor. He's a rare guest. You are... Andy Collins?"
"Yes!" Andy nodded.
Madam Rosmerta smiled and said, "Snape has already told me. You can come with me!"
Andy glanced back at Helen, "Mum, why don't you wait downstairs and have a drink while I go up and negotiate?"
Helen rolled her eyes and then found a seat.
Andy looked at Madam Rosmerta and said, "Let's go!"
On the second floor of the Inn, Madam Rosmerta knocked on the door of a private room and then pushed the door open.
Snape was sitting on a sofa, closing his eyes to rest. When he heard the door open, he immediately opened his eyes and looked at Andy.
"Thank you," Andy said.
Madam Rosmerta made a "please feel free" gesture and then exited the room, closing the door behind her.
Snape waved his wand and the door clicked shut.
"Good afternoon, Professor," Andy said with a smile and sat down opposite Snape.
Snape looked at Andy with a dark expression. "Collins... this is not the school. I think you know what would happen when you play tricks on a dark wizard."
Andy was silent for a moment, "With all due respect, you don't seem to be able to beat me!"
