Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Andy had indeed anticipated that Snape might make a big news. But he didn't expect that this day would come so early, and what he didn't expect was that this news would be so big.

Is Snape crazy?

Or is Dumbledore really senile?

Monday, August 1992, 10.

Hogwarts Great Hall.

During breakfast, a group of owls flew into the hall, bringing letters and items to the young wizards of Hogwarts.

After reading the letter from home, Andy put it away and opened the folded newspaper to see if there was any interesting news recently.

Actually, newspapers in the wizarding world are pretty boring.

After all, the population of the magical world is so small, and it’s just a trivial matter to go through so much trouble every day.

But Rita Skeeter's reporting was interesting.

She always found those secret news and reported them, although those reports were three-tenths true and seven-tenths false, and she added a lot of her own fabrications.

But the made-up stuff is actually pretty funny.

Andy wasn't kidding when he said he was a fan of hers.

In the years without mobile phones and computers, Andy relied entirely on Rita Skeeter's reports to make a living.

When you open the newspaper, the headline is a castle standing on an isolated island.

That's Azkaban!

As one of the safest places in the wizarding world, on par with Hogwarts, Azkaban holds many criminals, including many vicious Death Eaters.

Ever since the Ministry of Magic established Azkaban as a wizard prison, there has never been a prisoner escape.

The Ministry of Magic has also repeatedly stated that Azkaban is safe.

but now……

A corner of Azkaban in the newspaper was blown up, and hundreds of Dementors were floating around the Azkaban castle. Aurors kept apparating to the isolated island, looking solemnly at the Dark Mark in the sky that represented Voldemort.

A green skull with a long snake coming out of its mouth.

The photo at the bottom of the front page showed the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, with an unpleasant look on his face. His face was distorted and he seemed a little frightened.

"This is……"

Snape did it?

Andy was confused.

Snape is so arrogant?

What exactly was he and Dumbledore planning?

With doubts, Andy read the newspaper carefully.

According to the official statement from the Ministry of Magic, at around 1 a.m. last night, a Death Eater in a black robe attacked Azkaban and attempted to release the imprisoned Death Eaters.

But with the heroic resistance of the Aurors, they not only killed the arrogant Death Eater on the spot, but also ensured that no prisoner escaped from Azkaban.

During the battle, although a Death Eater managed to escape from Azkaban, he died tragically from the Dementor's Kiss.

In short, Azkaban is safe, the Aurors are brave, and the Ministry of Magic can control the Dementors.

The wizarding world is even more peaceful and prosperous.

"Sure enough, there's nothing interesting about the official report." Andy complained silently.

If you want to see really interesting and substantive news, you have to read Rita Skeeter's reports.

Andy looked in the newspaper and saw Rita Skeeter's signature in a very conspicuous place.

This woman's report was different.

After eliminating the nonsense, Andy got the following information.

She claimed that some Death Eaters must have escaped the Ministry of Magic's trial by relying on dirty PY deals, but due to the greed of Minister of Magic Fudge, they decided to create an attack to bring some fear to the greedy minister.

She also said that Death Eaters had started to collude last month and they had reached some kind of secret deal, and one of the Death Eaters was hiding in Hogwarts.

"Awesome!" Andy was full of admiration.

Although Rita Skeeter's report did not name anyone, it implicitly mentioned a certain pure-blood family, as well as Snape.

In order to make this woman shut up, the Death Eater from the pure-blood family either had to kill her or give her a large sum of gold Galleons as hush money.

With the Ministry of Magic in such a state of panic, Andy didn't think that the pure-blood families would have the courage to kill Rita Skeeter.

After all, that woman is famous!

Of course, she is also greedy, and gold galleons are enough to deal with her.

This is also the fundamental reason why she can live until now.

After reading Rita Skeeter's report, Andy was convinced that Snape was the one who did it.

Who else but Snape could be the Death Eater hiding in Hogwarts?

It couldn't be Lockhart, could it?

But...why did Snape do this?

Andy analyzed in his mind, "To find Voldemort's Horcrux? Or... Snape is an undercover agent, and he did this to gain Voldemort's trust?"

The ultimate goal of Dumbledore and Snape is to kill Voldemort.

Based on this analysis, many things are actually easy to guess.

"Last year, Voldemort possessed Quirrell and entered Hogwarts. Could he have reached some kind of deal with Snape?" Andy thought in shock.

After all, it was Harry who killed Quirrell in the original book, but now the plot has been messed up by Andy. In order to achieve the ultimate goal of killing Voldemort, it seems reasonable for Snape to go undercover.

"Andy, is there any interesting news?" Seeing Andy reading the newspaper for a long time, Hermione leaned over curiously.

"Very interesting news, take a look for yourself!" Andy handed over the Daily Prophet.

In fact, Hermione didn't even need to read it. Before Hermione took the newspaper, a shocked voice was heard in the auditorium.

"Azkaban was attacked by Death Eaters!"

"what?"

"This is true! Fortunately, the Auror from the Ministry of Magic killed the Death Eater on the spot, preventing the prisoners from escaping Azkaban."

"Don't trust the Ministry of Magic. They will exaggerate a little bit of merit into something much bigger."

"Let me see the newspaper!"

"..."

Hearing the noisy noise in the hall, Hermione looked at Andy in shock, "Azkaban was attacked by Death Eaters?"

"Yeah!" Andy gestured to the newspaper in his hand.

Hermione took the newspaper and began to flip through it.

Andy fell into deep thought.

If his previous speculation was correct, then Snape attacked Azkaban in order to gain Voldemort's trust.

If he still stood on Dumbledore's side, he would never let any Death Eater escape.

Andy thought of the unfortunate Death Eater who died from the Dementor's Kiss...it made sense.

"And he also left the Dark Mark as a warning!"

but……

"Did Voldemort not let Snape help him resurrect because he didn't trust him? Or was Snape actually a double agent, and he was also helping Voldemort to find out about Dumbledore?"

Andy thought to himself: "This failure...maybe it will make Voldemort even more anxious?"

Snape might not have an easy time in the future.

Chapter 210 Andy: Professor, I keep my mouth shut

"Andy, you said..."

After Hermione finished reading the newspaper, she looked at Andy in shock.

She thought of Snape, who disappeared on the Marauder's Map that night...Andy also said that Snape might make a big news.

Today's news is huge!

Andy shrugged and said nothing. You have to figure this out yourself. Andy won't tell you anyway.

Andy keeps his mouth shut.

Hermione covered her mouth in shock.

She's enlightened!

Snape did this!

Hermione approached Andy and asked quietly, "Andy, do you think Dumbledore knew about this?"

Hermione was worried that if Snape was a real Death Eater and he had deceived Dumbledore, it would be too dangerous for Snape to remain at Hogwarts.

Who knows if he will attack the little wizards in the school.

"I know his secret, and he didn't do anything to me. Are you still worried?" Andy said.

Andy could feel that Snape hated him, but he had no intention of killing him.

This is the most direct evidence.

Hermione thought of the conversation between Andy and Snape at the castle gate that day, and looked at Andy with some concern, "What if you were deceived by him too?"

Andy looked at Hermione helplessly and said, "Then go ask Dumbledore to see if he knows. It's not a big deal."

"Isn't this a big deal?" Hermione glared at Andy unhappily.

At this point, Hermione suddenly turned her head to glance at the newspaper, and then looked at Andy with a strange expression, "It says that the Death Eaters who attacked Azkaban have been killed by the Aurors."

"That would be great!"

Andy pretended to cheer: "We don't have to go to school this morning."

Today is Monday, and Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff will have two Potions classes in a row.

Hermione rolled her eyes at that.

"Let me see the newspaper," Andy said.

After taking the newspaper, Andy looked at other reports and was surprised to see an article written by his aunt Aishia Collins in an inconspicuous place.

It's so miserable that I can't even catch the attention of others.

Andy observed a second of silence.

All the reports in the Daily Prophet today revolved around the attack on Azkaban. Andy also unexpectedly saw a second report written by Rita Skeeter.

As usual, Andy excluded the clutter.

In this report, Rita Skeeter directly pointed out that Fudge lied, and the Aurors did not kill the Death Eater who attacked Azkaban, but let him escape.

She also said that Fudge might have been paid by the Death Eaters to deliberately sell the information about the guards of Azkaban to them.

Of course, the latter statement is false.

Rita Skeeter has this ability. She mixes true stories with false ones, which can create hot topics and cause trouble for the reporters, but at the same time prevent everyone from believing her reports, giving herself some room for relaxation.

But the previous statement is true.

Because Andy did not receive any notice that the Potions class was cancelled.

"How did she find out this information?"

Andy was surprised. "Does she have informants everywhere in the magic world?"

……

After breakfast, Andy and Hermione came to the Potions classroom, where they met a perfectly healthy Professor Snape.

As soon as Snape walked to the podium, he glanced in the direction of Andy and Hermione.
