Chapter 183 Andy: I Became the Hero of Gryffindor
"Forget it, as long as the action goes smoothly."
Andy didn't get too entangled.
Instead of trying to guess Snape's thoughts, it is better to carefully recall tonight's actions and see if there are any omissions.
"Fingerprints and footprints have not been left, and the smell has been treated. Coupled with the invisibility of the Illusion Curse..."
"By the way, I haven't lost any hair either."
Andy combed through it several times and was truly relieved when he found that nothing was missing.
Looking at the potion ingredients in his hand, Andy thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to wait until the limelight passed before coming to the Room of Requirement to brew the truth serum.
Especially since it's too late now.
I have class tomorrow.
Back in the dormitory, Andy lay quietly on the bed, but in his mind he remembered the scene he saw last night - Snape's name disappeared from the Marauder's Map.
He has left the castle!
Logically speaking, it is normal for a professor to leave the castle. They are adults and will inevitably have their own personal things to do.
But who is Snape?
Does he have friends? Does he have personal matters?
What's more, Snape left the castle around ten o'clock in the evening.
Who would look for him if it was so late?
It's impossible to have a private meeting with lovers, right?
Andy doesn't believe it!
If Snape was determined to find a lover, Snape wouldn't have had that murderous look on his face when Andy introduced his aunt to him.
"There is a secret...!" Andy showed a suspicious expression.
After pondering for a moment, I was still a little confused.
There are too few clues.
Although this matter is full of doubts, it lacks key clues.
"Just wait and see!"
Andy muttered, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.
…
The next morning, nothing happened in the castle.
It wasn't until noon, when the little wizard came to the auditorium for lunch after finishing potions class, that Andy heard any news.
"Is Snape crazy? He deducted more than twenty points from our Gryffindor today!"
"Merlin's beard! I can't believe it. Since when did not brushing your teeth affect the potion's effectiveness?"
"Snape has been watching us like a thief today."
"George, Fred, did you two do something again?"
"Definitely not us!"
Andy mentally observed three seconds of silence for Gryffindor.
Who would have thought that Gryffindor and Slytherin would have a Potions class together this morning?
Slytherin was Snape's true love, so he could only vent his anger on Gryffindor.
Andy calmly followed the crowd to watch the excitement. Hermione beside him looked at Andy suspiciously several times.
The little witch still remembered that Andy wanted to steal Snape's potion ingredients some time ago.
As it happens, the Weasley twins also knew about this.
They also sponsored the Marauder's Map for this purpose.
The Weasley twins turned to look at Andy at the same time. Andy shook his head invisibly, indicating that he had not taken action yet.
Seeing Andy's expression of watching the fun and knowing nothing about the matter, the Weasley twins became a little convinced.
"I heard the news that the potion materials in Snape's office were stolen just last night."
Someone in the crowd said something, and Andy suddenly felt his anus tighten.
Fortunately, George and Fred were very interesting. After hearing this sentence, they stopped looking at Andy.
Andy nodded, he was indeed a habitual offender, he just had experience.
In contrast, a certain know-it-all lady is not that experienced. She glared at Andy fiercely several times, as if she wanted Andy to explain clearly to her.
Andy pulled the little witch and gave her a 'stop making trouble' look.
The little witch snorted softly.
Everyone was noisy, guessing which hero dared to tease Snape's beard at the expense of others.
Gryffindor even announced loudly that the person who stole the potion materials was the hero of Gryffindor.
The Slytherin House was so angry that they almost started fighting with them.
Slytherin's Marcus Flint also announced loudly, "Who stole Professor Snape's potion materials? You'd better come forward! If we find out, I will make you look good." "
After saying that, Marcus Flint raised his big elbow as if to demonstrate.
"Let's go!"
Andy pulled Hermione and whispered: "Let's go out and talk."
Hermione nodded slightly and followed Andy.
Arriving outside the castle, Hermione couldn't help but ask: "Did you really do it? Oh my god! I thought you were just talking. Andy, using Veritaserum is illegal!"
"No……"
Andy was about to deny it, but after seeing the angry expression on the little witch's face, he could only say helplessly: "Okay, it's me."
Seeing that Hermione still wanted to speak, Andy rushed to explain: "Of all the courses at Hogwarts, only Defense Against the Dark Arts cannot be taught by oneself."
Defense Against the Dark Arts course, to put it bluntly, is a course that teaches young wizards how to protect themselves.
How to deal with dark magical creatures is just one part of this course.
Identifying and defending against dark wizards, including how to deal with some dangerous black magic, is part of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.
If the professor wanted to, he could even teach the little wizards how to fight.
A lot of the knowledge here cannot be learned from books.
That's experience.
It's like: you found a recipe online and memorized it, but can you make it perfectly?
Defense Against the Dark Arts is like this.
What's the point of reading books without actual practice?
Andy continued, "Hermione, you know my ideal. I only have seven years to study, and I can't let an incompetent professor waste one of those years."
"Besides, after we drove Quirrell away last year, didn't Professor Twain teach very well?"
Hermione was silent for a moment, then looked at Andy seriously, "If someone finds out, you will be expelled."
"Then don't let them find out." Andy smiled.
"Humph!"
The little witch snorted angrily, deliberately bumped into Andy, and walked towards the castle with her head down.
Andy shrugged and followed behind helplessly.
When she reached the gate of the castle, the little witch's body froze.
Snape, whose potion was stolen, was standing at the gate of the castle at this moment, looking at Andy dangerously.
Fearing that Hermione would be exposed due to her inexperience, Andy quickly stepped forward and chuckled, "Good afternoon, Professor Snape."
"Good afternoon... Mr. Collins... and Miss Granger."
Snape still spoke in that slow and leisurely tone, and said gently, "It seems that I scared you."
"What do you think?"
Andy asked back, and then quickly said, "I heard that your office was robbed? What a pity, I wonder if you have found any clues? Do you need my help?"
Snape looked at Andy, "I already have a clue..."
