"Professor Snape?"
After arriving at the agreed eting place, Andy looked around and whispered, "Are you here?"
From the shadow under a large rock, Snape's figure slowly appeared. "Collins... There are only twenty minutes left until the execution."
Andy felt a strong sense of resentnt from Snape.
It seed... he had been waiting here for a long ti.
The execution was scheduled for 10 a.m., and now it was already 9:40 a.m. As for the ti when Andy and Snape had parted ways... it was a little after 7:30 a.m.
In other words, Andy had been on his own for two hours.
"Sorry!"
Andy said, "I'm ten minutes late."
Snape: "..."
He did say that they would et at 9:30 a.m., but that was just a talk.
This is Azkaban, an island, a tiny place. Apart from Azkaban Prison, there isn't even a pile of bird shit to be seen here.
Snape returned a little after eight, having been waiting here for an hour and a half for Andy.
He almost thought Andy was dead!
Snape looked at Andy with a strange expression in his eyes...it took so long for him to return, which ant that Andy had really discovered sothing, sothing that was very important.
Otherwise, Andy would not have been delayed for so long.
"Peter Pettigrew is being held on the top floor of Azkaban, guarded by four Hit Wizards at the door."
Since he was late, Andy was prepared to say sothing useful. "Actually, we can rescue him by storming the place. But if we destroy Azkaban, the people inside may escape."
"And I'm not sure how long it will take for the Ministry of Magic support to arrive."
"So...rescuing people with a Portkey is really a good idea."
You can't use the Portkey in Azkaban Prison, where the defensive magic is very strong.
But there are not so many restrictions outside.
On the island, only the Apparition spell is restricted, and only the Ministry of Magic's special thod can directly Apparate one to the island.
Snape gave Andy a sarcastic look.
Through the Ministry of Magic's insider, he and Dumbledore had already known this information a long ti ago.
What Andy had said was worthless.
In fact, Snape was genuinely interested in learning what Andy was doing after he disappeared for over two hours.
But...
Snape felt that if he asked, there was a 90% chance Andy would tell him—because the boy couldn't keep a secret.
But there was also a 100% chance Andy would make Snape confess everything.
This made Snape hesitate—because Andy couldn't keep a secret.
In Snape's opinion, he would rather believe that Voldemort would reform and beco a decent person than trust Andy's mouth.
"Collins... you disappeared for so long; what did you find out?" After a mont of hesitation, Snape asked the question on his mind.
Just as Andy had guessed before.
Andy ntioned to Snape once that the power behind the curtain nearly froze his mind when the Resurrection Stone absorbed it.
This made Snape realise that the Dentors roaming Azkaban had powers very similar to those of the Death.
Being invisible to Muggles, they could also suck out happiness and souls, as well as that coldness that accompanied them and could reach the soul directly...
So Snape was very keen to study the Dentors.
But Snape was an adult, after all, one who would put the task first. So he just observed for a while and did not take any action.
But Andy disappeared for two hours!
Andy had a playful look in his eyes. "Professor, let's make a deal...how about it?"
Snape: I knew it; this boy can't keep a secret!
"Don't tell anyone!" Snape warned.
"Of course, this is a secret between the two of us."
Andy laughed and then said, "But... Professor, you have to answer a question."
Snape nodded with a cold face.
"The forr owner of Azkaban was a man nad Ekrizdis, and there are so records of him in the Restricted Section of Hogwarts."
Andy said calmly. "Azkaban has a basent that was sealed off by the Ministry of Magic."
"Actually, there is nothing there. The Ministry of Magic emptied it. But there is a secret chamber in the basent, and there are murals painted on the walls and ceiling of the chamber."
Snape sneered, "So... you studied the murals for two hours?"
"Of course not!"
Andy said, "The murals there are amazing. As long as you touch them, you will enter the world inside the mural."
After hearing this, Snape assud that Andy had spent two hours trapped in the mural.
Then just listen to Andy continue, "Of course, I wouldn't be that stupid and try it myself."
"I sent the Patronus in..."
"I sent the Patronus in there three tis to find a way out."
Snape: "..."
This sounds even more stupid!
A world within a mural... He wasted two hours back and forth and did three experints to find a way out.
Especially at such a critical mont!
Snape felt that Andy's actions were that of a child satisfying his curiosity.
"Professor, have you heard of the world of dinsions?"
Without waiting for Snape to reply, Andy continued, "A two-dinsional world has only length and width, while a three-dinsional world has length, width, and height. That's why the world we see is three-dinsional."
"To ascend from a two-dinsional world to a three-dinsional world, you need to add height to length and width..."
"..."
"...and to ascend from a three-dinsional world to a four-dinsional world, you need to add a ti axis to length, width, and height..."
Andy briefly explained his understanding of dinsions.
"But that's not the most interesting thing,"
Andy continued. "The most interesting thing is that the thoughts of the people in the paintings are ours. Their bodies are paintings, so they can't get out, but... their minds can."
"So, what do you think of a soul?"
"The soul is a substance that transcends the real world, and it may co from the fourth dinsion. And when we die... it will return to the fourth dinsion—the soul's final resting place!"
"Professor... isn't that terrifying?"
Snape: "..."
He has to say, if Andy's guess is true, then the truth of the world is truly terrifying.
Perhaps those beings in higher dinsions are manipulating humans through their souls.
But these things are too out of reach.
Moreover, human power cannot resist them, so there is no point in being fearful.
So Snape just lost his concentration for a mont before recovering.
What made Snape feel more terrified than anything else was the young wizard in front of him, Andy Collins.
His perspective on things was always different from that of ordinary people.
He sought out the truth, discovered it, and even tried to control forces that were far beyond human control.
If there is soone who could destroy the world one day by accident.
Snape believes that person might be the young wizard in front of him.
