Chapter 66 The Spectators: Helen Collins

Collins

"Andy, thank you for your gift."

Harry came over to Andy as soon as he sat down. He asked, "Andy, where did you take those photos? You know, I have never seen my parents."

"Oh, you mean those photos! I took them in Godric's Hollow. It is said that Godric Gryffindor was born there, and the valley was named after him."

Andy explained, "My grandfather lived there, and your parents were also there... Oh, sorry."

"It's okay!"

Harry said quickly, "If you have a chance in the future, can you take me to Godric's Hollow? I want to pay tribute to my parents."

"Of course." Andy said.

"Thank you!"

After Harry thanked him, he returned to the Gryffindor table.

Andy felt that someone was watching him again, and that look made Andy feel uneasy.

It was Snape again.

Andy felt that he not only wanted to deduct his points, but he might also want to poison his food or something.

Is he sick?

Andy complained in his heart, I gave you a Christmas gift, how come I also gave you an enemy.

Do you feel comfortable only when I go against you every day?

...

After the dinner, the Christmas holiday officially ended and the new semester began.

On Monday morning, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff had to take two consecutive potion classes.

Andy finally realized that Snape's look last night was not his illusion. His temper seemed to have become extremely bad during the holiday, and the little wizards of the two colleges were severely targeted by him.

Andy was deducted five points by Snape for disrespecting the professor just because he yawned.

Hermione was also deducted two points by Snape for disturbing others because she instructed her classmates to make potions.

At the same time, Andy was deducted two points by Snape for watching others make mistakes.

For two whole potion classes, Snape was like he had reached menopause, and he didn't like anyone. Any small action could be found as a reason for deduction.

Moreover, Snape's venomous tongue has almost reached its peak.

He can talk a little wizard to the point of mental breakdown at a slow pace without using any swear words.

All the little wizards were silent, silently praying that the two potion classes would be over quickly.

After the potion class, everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Collins... stay for a while." Snape suddenly said.

"Okay, professor!" Andy shrugged, gave Hermione a reassuring look, and motioned Hermione to go to the hall to eat first.

All the little wizards looked at Andy, and their eyes were full of pain and tragedy as if they would go to Andy to burn incense on this day next year.

"Professor, is there anything?" Andy asked first after the little wizards left.

Andy also wanted to know what medicine Snape took wrong.

Snape's empty pupils stared at Andy, and Andy immediately looked away to avoid looking at Snape.

"Collins..."

Snape stared at Andy and asked slowly, "How much do you know about...that thing?"

That thing?

Andy thought Snape was asking about Quirrell, so he said bluntly, "I do feel that Quirrell is a little bit wrong. He said he was attacked by a vampire, but I don't think so."

"And he has no intention of attending class properly, which is not in line with the mentality of a professor. Although Professor Binns' class is also boring, he at least takes the class seriously."

Is that so?

Snape always felt that Andy knew more than that.

"That's not what I'm asking about."

Snape's face looked a little ugly. He took out a greeting card and asked, "What does this mean?"

So that's what happened!

Andy looked puzzled, "Professor, I wish you a Merry Christmas... Is there anything wrong with this? I just hope you can start a new life."

I just don't want to see a magic genius degenerate, is there anything wrong with that?

And what happened to you back then wasn't some shameful secret, right?

When you were in school, you bullied Gryffindor and tried to win over the ignorant girls of Gryffindor to join the Death Eaters, but now you have turned over a new leaf!

Or did Hermione really guess it right?

Could Snape's turning over a new leaf really be related to that Gryffindor girl?

It's a pity that Helen has never been willing to reveal the name of that Gryffindor girl, and Andy still doesn't know who she is.

Snape stared at Andy.

After receiving the greeting card, he felt something was wrong.

For this reason, Snape also specially investigated Andy's family background, and found Andy's mother-Helen Collins.

Snape and Helen didn't have any conflicts, but deep in Snape's heart, there was an unspeakable memory of humiliation and sadness.

And this memory was related to a spell.

Upside-down bell!

Helen was the bystander at the time. She witnessed everything with her own eyes and knew everything that happened at the time.

What if Helen talked to Andy about her school experience and told Andy about it as a joke? Snape felt that he could find a place to hang himself.

This is not impossible.

Think about it, her child went to school, and the child's professor was her classmate. It happened to be Christmas, and the mother and son sat around the fireplace and talked about their experience of going to school at Hogwarts.

What a beautiful and warm picture!

This picture tortured Snape throughout Christmas. What if Helen said something and Andy told Harry about it...

Oh, NO!

Thinking of this, Snape felt that he was going crazy.

"Even if you heard something, you'd better not talk too much." Snape threatened in a low voice.

"Uh..."

Andy looked puzzled: "Should I have heard something? Could it be..."

Snape looked a little nervous.

Andy glanced at Snape and said, "Professor, don't worry, I will keep the secret for you."

Andy suddenly realized that perhaps what happened that year was not exactly the same as the story told by Helen.

After all, Helen looked at everything that happened that year from the perspective of a Gryffindor, which was a bit biased.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Andy.

Andy pretended that he knew something, and maybe he could use this secret to control Snape.

"I keep my mouth shut!"

Andy gave Snape a meaningful look. Seeing that Snape was about to lose his temper, Andy decided to end the conversation immediately.

"Professor, I have an aunt."

Andy said, "If you decide to start a new life, I can introduce you to each other."

Snape took a deep breath, "You! Get! Out! of! Me!"

Okay, Andy turned around and left.

As soon as he reached the door, Snape's implicit warning came from behind: "Remember your promise, don't tell anyone!"
