Chapter 535: Chapter 535 Andy: Dumbledore, why are you looking at me?
Early May.
"Andy, hurry up!"
In the corridor, Hermione, carrying her books, walked ahead, and when she saw Andy lagging behind, she couldn't help but urge him on, "Hurry up! I'm starving."
"Coming!" Andy laughed faintly and quickened his pace to keep up with Hermione.
They had just finished their Potions class.
In class, Professor Snape, who was usually strict and stern, had actually momentarily lost his focus.
This made Andy a little concerned.
When combined with the events that had happened recently, Andy couldn't help but suspect that Voldemort was about to make a move.
When the class ended, Andy originally wanted to ask him about it in detail. However, Snape left quickly and never gave Andy the chance to ask.
This was a sign!
He didn't want to say, or couldn't say?
Moreover, Harry hadn't done anything suspicious either.
Hogwarts had been unusually quiet for a while, which didn't fit the plot of 'The Return of the Dark Lord'.
"Hmm..."
Andy thought to himself, 'Snape is an undercover agent. Logically, if Voldemort's actions don't involve Snape, then there is no way he would tell Snape.'
Thinking along these lines...
Andy pondered for a good while but still couldn't figure out what exactly Voldemort was up to.
There were just too few clues!
"What are you thinking about?" Hermione couldn't help but ask curiously, seeing that Andy had been daydreaming.
"Haven't you noticed? During class, Professor Snape was in a daze."
Andy raised an eyebrow and said, "And when class was over, he left quickly."
Hermione was taken aback, but then she reacted, "You mean..."
"That's what I think," Andy said.
The little witch's face turned a little grave, but she soon said helplessly, "We're still students, so we can't do anything about things outside school."
"You're right!" Andy laughed.
With Andy's current strength, he is more than capable of defending himself.
Even if Voldemort really has some plan, it will not affect Andy's safety.
Therefore, Andy has nothing to worry about at all.
Andy just didn't want to miss the trip to the Department of Mysteries and the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort.
However, this matter is related to Harry.
Therefore, Andy only needs to keep an eye on Harry.
***
As soon as they reached the Great Hall, Andy heard the news.
Harry had been taken to the school Hospital Wing.
"Harry's scar was hurting really badly-"
Ron went on, "He was screaming and then suddenly let out a loud cry and passed out."
"Is it related to that person?" Hermione asked in a low voice.
Ron shook his head and said, "I don't know; Harry hasn't woken up yet."
Andy and Hermione glanced at each other.
Snape's abnormality was indeed related to Voldemort.
"After the meal, let's go check on Harry together!" Andy suggested.
"Okay!" Ron nodded.
After parting with Ron, Andy and Hermione went to the Ravenclaw table. As soon as they sat down, Hermione asked impatiently, "Andy, what do you think happened?"
"How would I know?" Andy shrugged.
Hermione rolled her eyes and quipped, "I was hoping you had a clue."
"We don't have a clue."
After a moment's thought, Andy added, "But we can start by analysing what the Dark Lord wants the most."
"You know what he wants?" Hermione asked.
"Of course!"
Andy analysed, "First, the Prophecy ball; second, to see Harry once more; third, to gather some forces; fourth..."
At this, Andy suddenly paused.
"What's the fourth?" Hermione asked.
Andy looked at Hermione and said in a low voice, "Rescue the Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban..."
Hermione's expression changed slightly on hearing this.
Judging from the current situation, the fourth task was undoubtedly closest to being carried out.
Voldemort needed his forces.
And those Death Eaters imprisoned in Azkaban were Voldemort's most loyal followers.
"Let's eat first!"
Andy suddenly said, "No matter what happens, we'll know when Harry wakes up."
"Hm!" Hermione replied with a solemn face.
The worst thing they had feared was about to happen.
If there was unrest in the wizarding world, judging from the behaviour of those Death Eaters, the Muggle world might also be targeted.
But she was only a third-year witch and was powerless to stop it.
"Don't worry..."
Looking at Hermione, Andy said softly, "I will protect you, and I will end this as soon as possible."
"We will work together," Hermione said firmly.
"Of course, we are together. Come on, eat, aren't you hungry?" Andy said with a smile.
***
After lunch, Andy, Hermione, and Ron went to the school hospital wing together.
Harry was awake.
Dumbledore and Professor Lupin were also there, and they were asking Harry questions.
"Good afternoon!" Andy greeted them.
"Good afternoon, children."
Dumbledore gave Andy a knowing look before continuing in a kind voice, "Have you come to visit Harry? But Madam Pomfrey has only given us ten minutes; Harry needs to rest."
Andy's eyelids twitched.
Why are you looking at me like that?
You're making me feel uncomfortable!
"I'm fine, I'm perfectly fine!"
Harry said sharply, almost snappily, "Voldemort has killed a lot of people! Professor, we have to save them."
Dumbledore was silent, and Professor Lupin looked uncomfortable.
Andy sighed and whispered, "Harry...it's too late."
Hermione gently squeezed Andy's hand.
"Too late? What do you mean, too late?" Harry asked angrily.
Ron looked at the group stupidly, completely unable to understand what was going on. But it was easy to tell from Harry's words that Voldemort had killed a lot of people.
"Harry, then... then it was probably just a dream," Ron said dryly.
"It wasn't a dream!" Harry said, his face flushed bright red.
"Was it Azkaban?" Andy asked.
"I don't know what place that is..."
After saying this, Harry froze for a moment and then looked at Andy and asked, "Andy, do you know what Voldemort did? Azkaban is a wizard prison, and if Voldemort went there..."
After saying this, Harry suddenly reacted.
Dumbledore slowly explained, "In fact, the Ministry of Magic has stationed many Aurors in Azkaban, but they have obviously underestimated Voldemort's strength."
Andy really couldn't help but complain.
A place like Azkaban... If he and Snape teamed up, they could take it down, so how could they possibly stop Voldemort?
But then again, Dumbledore couldn't be at Azkaban every day.
Hogwarts also couldn't function without Dumbledore.
"Professor Dumbledore..."
Andy suddenly asked, "Have you received any news? What's the casualty situation at Azkaban?"
The others turned to Dumbledore at the same time when they heard this.
They were genuinely concerned about the casualties among the Aurors.
Andy, on the other hand, wanted to use this opportunity to gain a glimpse of Voldemort's strength.
If he could determine the time, Andy might personally observe the battle using the Time Turner.
