It seems the old bat has already been suspecting , huh?
Although Andy was wary in his heart, he did not show the slightest trace of panic on his face.
"Really? That's really great."
Andy lightly laughed, "The other party must have stolen the potion materials to do sothing shady. So of the materials will easily be tracked down by Aurora if they go to the store to buy them."
"If you really catch the other party, you might even be able to stop so bad incidents."
Snape said with a sly smile, "If it's an adult wizard, they can actually go to the black market in Knockturn Alley to buy it, Auror's hands can't reach there."
Sheesh! The old bat is quite thievish!
This angle could even be thought of.
Indeed, adult wizards could go to the black market in Knockturn Alley to buy so prohibited items, and only young wizards who couldn't leave Hogwarts would steal Snape's magic materials for certain purposes.
As long as one thought of this, one could basically lock in a few suspects.
After all, within Hogwarts, there weren't many young wizards who had the guts to steal Snape's things, there were just a few scattered around.
By continuing the association along this line of thought, the other party's theft of the potion materials must be to do sothing big.
Then he just has to check using these options.
"So it's a young wizard who did this ... Bold enough!"
Andy was surprised for a mont, then looked up at Snape and reminded, "Then Professor, you should be careful these days, within Hogwarts, it's you who has the worst popularity. That young wizard who stole the potion ingredients might be trying to drug you?"
"Is that what you think? Mr. Collins!" Snape asked in a playful tone.
"Of course! I was worried about you."
Andy admitted frankly, and with a random turn of phrase, he directly said, "Professor Snape you should be more careful when you go out these days. Especially ... at night!"
Snape's pupils suddenly contracted.
How did this kid know that he went out at night?
He went out the night before last, and the theft of the potion materials happened last night ...
Could it be...he was there the night before?
Andy's eyes brimd with a smile, "After all, it's only a day difference!"
Since he was already suspected by Snape, it would be better to threaten him directly.
Andy didn't believe that Snape left the castle at ten o'clock at night to do volunteer work in so neighbourhood.
It took two people who knew each other's secrets to maintain them for each other.
Andy was convinced of that.
If it was last year, Andy wouldn't have been so arrogant. But there was an old saying, that when you are ard with a sharp weapon, you will start to have a killing heart.
The increase in strength naturally gave Andy the confidence to be arrogant.
Sneaky Snape.
Snape's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes glared fiercely at Andy, and Andy naturally stared at him without fear.
Occluncy operated, Andy chose to empty his mind, letting Snape know that he already could defend himself against Legilincy.
A highly skilled Legilincy Master could read the current thoughts of the other party through eye contact.
But if you want to read the deeper thoughts of the mind, you have to take out your wand and formally cast a spell.
Eye contact ... Andy is not afraid of it!
Snape's corner of the eyes slightly raised, this kid is very arrogant!
Hermione looked at Andy and then turned her head to look at Snape, the little witch felt that the atmosphere between the two people suddenly condensed.
"Professor, how about we keep it a secret between each other?"
Andy smiled and said, "You should have sothing important to do as well, right?"
"Sothing to do with Voldemort?"
That was Andy's guess.
But when Andy saw Snape's unmoving countenance, Andy thought he had guessed right.
The more motionless he was at this ti, the more it ant that Andy had said the secret in his heart and put him on guard.
Especially the look in Snape's eyes.
The old bat was also using Occluncy, and he was worried that Andy would use Legilincy as well.
Snape didn't say anything as he stared at Andy dead in the face, curious to know exactly how Andy knew his whereabouts.
The night he left the castle, Snape was certain that the entire underground floor was empty.
"Professor?" Andy called out.
Snape gave Andy a deep look, said nothing, and turned to leave at a brisk pace.
"Whew..."
In his sleeve, Andy slowly loosened the wand he held in his hand.
"Andy, what the hell is going on?" Hermione could tell, as well, that Andy seed to know one of Snape's secrets, and that secret had sothing to do with Voldemort.
Andy leaned close to Hermione's ear and whispered, "I just made an agreent with Professor Snape to keep each other's secrets."
Hermione ducked away in a hurry, her little ears reddening slightly.
"It's almost ti for class."
The young witch panicked, "Professor Sprout will be furious if you use Professor Snape's na to take another leave of absence."
Herbology class ah...!
Andy sighed, all right!
"Right."
Hermione suddenly asked, "After you just said that, won't Professor Snape know that it was you who stole his potion materials? Andy, there won't be a problem, right?"
"What did I say?"
Andy had a questioning face, "Besides, he doesn't have any evidence, right? On what grounds could he slander my innocence with empty words?"
"You ..." Hermione turned away.
***
On the other hand, after separating from Andy, Snape hurried to his office and checked the front and back of the office carefully.
He felt that Andy might have installed surveillance equipnt in his office.
It was just a pity that he didn't find anything.
After calming down, Snape sat in his office chair and carefully recalled the previous conversation with Andy.
After the potion materials were stolen, the first person Snape suspected was Andy.
It was true that he had no evidence to testify that Andy had stolen his potion materials, and he had gone to Andy before just to test the waters.
But he didn't expect that this test would reveal sothing so unimaginable - Andy knew his whereabouts like the back of his hand.
This is too dangerous!
In particular, Snape was recently making secret plans with Lucius Malfoy to go to Azkaban and make a big ss.
Snape had even planned to leave a Dark Mark over Azkaban after the ruckus, which would be a wake-up call to all the people in the magic world.
Snape could be sure that he didn't have any surveillance equipnt in his office. There hadn't been anyone on the underground floor when he left the castle the night before, either.
So how did Andy know?
There was a ghost haunting him?
If Snape had been half-convinced by Dumbledore's words in his first year, this school year, Snape had been fully convinced.
Andy Collins is truly not an average young wizard.
Not only was his magic talent outstanding, but he also had excellent insight and sensitivity to information on situations, and his ability to analyse and think was even more amazingly terrifying.
Especially ...
Even if Snape was reluctant to admit it, he could feel that Andy Collins was becoming more and more dangerous recently.
This feeling of danger does not originate from strength, but is a ... feeling that cannot be said.
Snape thought in his mind, 'When Dumbledore faced the Dark Lord in his student days, was it the sa feeling?'
