Chapter 199 Watching the Moon, Talking About Life, and Talking About Ideals

In fact, Snape is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's business.

The reason why he was willing to fight Voldemort was originally to protect Lily's safety, and now it is to protect Lily's children.

It has nothing to do with his own good or evil, or his camp.

If there was no Lily, Snape felt that he should still be a Death Eater. Or he would be imprisoned in Azkaban, or he would hide in the magic world, waiting for Voldemort's comeback.

As for Andy Collins...

Snape felt that no matter what the boy became in the end, it had nothing to do with him.

So what if he became the Dark Lord?

As long as Harry was not hurt, Snape was too lazy to care about these things.

After saying that, Snape himself was a little surprised.

He didn't want to say it at first.

"Maybe it's because I've been a professor for a long time?" Snape laughed at himself in his heart. When a professor has been a professor for a long time, he will unconsciously develop a sense of responsibility for his students.

This was originally Dumbledore's order!

Snape hated this sense of responsibility, and he found a reason for himself, which made him feel more comfortable.

"I know!"

Dumbledore said calmly: "We can't stop a student from pursuing magic - even if it is dangerous."

Snape looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

He didn't expect Dumbledore to say that.

He thought Dumbledore would stop Andy from continuing his research, or ask Andy out for a chat.

"That's not like you." Snape said lightly.

Dumbledore blinked and asked back: "Do the headmaster and professors of Hogwarts want to prohibit their students from learning magic?"

"Magical transformation, that is a very dangerous magic." Snape emphasized.

"I'm glad you said that."

Dumbledore seemed to be in a good mood, "Collins is a very cautious little wizard, I think he will have his own judgment."

Dumbledore has seen many people in his life, and there are thousands of students he has taught alone.

Andy Collins may be a little complicated, but Dumbledore believes in his own judgment - he thinks Andy is a very lonely person.

This kind of loneliness is not afraid of interacting with others, but disdain to interact with others.

Among the young wizards of the same class, except for Hermione, the equally outstanding little witch, Dumbledore does not think that anyone can be Andy's friend.

Even Ron, who has known Andy since childhood, is the same.

Dumbledore even feels that Andy doesn't care much about the magic world.

He doesn't care about power, wealth, and fame, and there is only magic in his heart.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back first." Snape did not dwell on this matter too much.

Dumbledore nodded slightly.

After Snape left, Dumbledore opened the drawer of the desk and took out a black notebook.

There was a transparent hole in the middle of the notebook, and there were some burn marks around the hole - that was the hole burned by the Fiendfyre.

"Tom..."

Dumbledore opened the notebook, and his old fingers gently stroked the burnt area.

After getting the notebook, Dumbledore tried to have a good chat with Voldemort in his school days, but Tom was unwilling to pay attention to him.

The communication failed, and Dumbledore could only destroy the Horcrux.

"Where would you hide the other Horcruxes?" Dumbledore muttered to himself.

...

Andy never thought that he would be caught by Dumbledore even though he had the Marauder's Map in hand.

As the end of September approached, in order to obtain the last [Potential Point] as soon as possible, Andy spent most of his energy on practicing magic.

Not only spells, but also Transfiguration has made great breakthroughs.

If nothing unexpected happens, Andy thinks he can save up seven [Potential Points] tonight and increase his [Charms] talent to [7].

Seven is a magical number.

Andy thinks that may be the ultimate talent that a normal wizard can achieve.

Before leaving the dormitory, Andy had clearly checked the Marauder's Map. Dumbledore had been walking around in the office. How could he suddenly appear in the corridor on the eighth floor?

Damn it!

"Good evening, Headmaster Dumbledore." Andy greeted him first.

"Good evening, Mr. Collins." Dumbledore was standing by the window admiring the moonlight. He seemed to be disturbed by Andy. He was surprised when he heard the voice and seemed to be curious about why Andy appeared here.

Andy silently complained that if there was no Marauder's Map, I would have been fooled by you.

Andy could imagine that after the old headmaster knew that he was traveling at night, he didn't know how to run ahead of him, and then pretended to be a master here.

Andy stood beside Dumbledore and looked out the window following Dumbledore's gaze.

The crescent moon hung over the Forbidden Forest, and the moon and stars were reflected on the surface of the Black Lake. From here, the Forbidden Forest in the dark seemed to have a strange charm.

"It's beautiful." Andy said.

"Yes! Even though I've seen it for many years, the night view of Hogwarts is still stunning." Dumbledore said with emotion.

This is the truth!

The night view of modern cities is also beautiful, but the night view of Hogwarts has an ancient and mysterious atmosphere that no decoration of light color can achieve.

Andy didn't say anything, but accompanied Dumbledore to quietly watch the stars and the moon.

"Are you thinking about your girlfriend? It's boring to watch the moon with an old man like me, isn't it?" Dumbledore teased.

This is also true!

"Watching the moon with you is more interesting." Andy laughed.

Andy felt that the current atmosphere was quite weird.

Dumbledore smiled, "Have you thought about what to do after graduation?"

"Stay in school to teach!" Andy said.

"I thought you would want to do something greater." Dumbledore said.

"For example...?" Andy asked back.

Dumbledore did not answer this question, but continued to ask: "Collins, what do you think of Muggles?"

"What aspect are you asking about?" Andy also did not answer directly.

Dumbledore glanced at Andy and said, "You can say anything you want. Just think of it as chatting with an old man like me."

Andy shrugged and said, "Muggles are people who can't use magic. Other than that, they are no different from us. The technology they master is no less than magic."

Dumbledore nodded, "What about the magic world?"

Andy looked at Dumbledore strangely. Is this old man a little strange tonight?

Really just looking at the moon, talking about life and ideals?

"Principal, you are a little strange tonight." Andy said bluntly.

Dumbledore looked into the distance, "Many people in the magic world can't think like you. They have been closed for too long and have been blind to the changes in the outside world."

"This is very dangerous!"
