At around 9 pm, Andy used the Ti-Turner with Snape in the lavatory cubicle.
Snape was initially a little wary, as he thought Andy might be trying to follow him and sneak into the Departnt of Mysteries.
Andy felt extrely aggrieved.
After all, he only wanted a little extra ti to practice magic.
Many courses were lined up, taking up all of Andy's ti.
In order not to delay his progress in magic, Andy had to use the Ti Turner every day and make the most of every second without wasting any ti.
Although he had more ti, a day was still not enough.
Fortunately, he could rest a bit on Saturdays and Sundays; otherwise, Andy's energy would have long since been drained by the Ti Turner.
After parting with Snape, Andy went to the Room of Requirent and began his usual daily practice.
As for the Departnt of Mysteries... Andy decided to wait until after the magic transfiguration went well before exploring the Departnt of Mysteries again – using the magic of death to explore the power behind the curtain.
Perhaps there would be even greater surprises.
***
At 8:30 pm, Andy used the Disillusionnt Charm to go into the lavatory.
"Professor?" Andy called softly in a low voice after making sure no one was there.
"..."
There was no answer from the lavatory.
"Professor Snape?"
"…Professor Snape, are you back?"
After calling three tis without getting a response, Andy raised an eyebrow and muttered, "He's not back yet? Could sothing have happened?"
Andy had been to the Ministry of Magic before, so he knew that as long as there were no problems with the plan, exploring the Departnt of Mysteries shouldn't take long.
If he took a house elf with him, Snape could even Apparate directly from the Ministry of Magic to Hogwarts.
"Hmm..."
Andy pondered for a mont, then suddenly took out his wand and twirled it around in the lavatory.
"Appare Vestigium!"
As the incantation was uttered, a large golden mist of magical light sprinkled on the floor of the lavatory.
"..."
Andy was a little embarrassed.
'He really hasn't co back!' Andy casually put away his wand and then disappeared, hiding in the cubicle of the lavatory.
After waiting for another twenty minutes, seeing that it was almost 9:00 p.m., but Snape still hadn't returned, Andy was beginning to feel a little anxious.
If Snape couldn't return within the specified ti, he might never return.
People who didn't follow the rules of ti would not fare well.
Creak-
The lavatory door opened, and Andy looked through the gap to see Snape walk in with a sour face.
Andy didn't dare to move because it was almost 9 p.m.—this Snape should be the Snape before ti rewound.
After a while, Andy saw another version of himself walk in.
After exchanging greetings, 'Andy' and 'Snape' walked into one of the cubicles. Andy could also hear a familiar conversation taking place in the cubicle—it was 'Snape' questioning 'Andy'.
Three hours ago, Andy had experienced all this himself.
Damn, Snape must be dead!
Andy sighed to himself and silently lit a candle for Snape in his mind.
If he fails to return within the agreed-upon ti, Snape will be banished to the gaps in ti and never return.
Maybe one day we'll find Snape's dead body sowhere.
The conversation in the cubical quickly ca to an end, and then even the sound of breathing disappeared.
Andy knew that they had already used the Ti-Turner to return three hours ago.
And Snape had not returned yet!
"Professor?" Andy called out quietly.
Andy: "..."
"Professor Snape?"
"He can't really be dead, can he?" Andy looks perplexed.
Was Snape's death caused by an error in operating the Ti Turner?
Or perhaps Snape was discovered by the Ministry of Magic... and arrested? Or was he killed on the spot?
Or perhaps... he lifted the veil and died instantly?
'In any case, if Snape doesn't return in ti, he won't be able to co back.'
Andy muttered to himself, "Maybe I can take this opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of ti—what kind of punishnt will befall upon soone who violates the rules of ti?"
"In that case, Snape's death won't be in vain."
"But... I have to find his body first!"
Creak –
The lavatory door suddenly opened, paused for a mont, and then violently slamd shut.
Andy: "..."
Is ... soone going out?
Snape?
Damn it!
Gritting his teeth, Andy left the lavatory and headed towards the lower level.
Around a corner, Andy saw a flash of black robe disappear around the next bend.
Apparently, Snape had released the Disillusionnt Charm.
Andy: Damn it!
The underground floor.
Snape opened the door to his office and stepped inside, but before he could close it, Andy slamd his hand against the door.
"Very funny, Professor Snape," Andy said through gritted teeth.
Snape gave Andy a casual glance. "Collins... It's nine o'clock at night. If I rember correctly, at this ti, you should be in your dormitory."
Playing this ga with ?
Andy took a deep breath and then said with a smile, "Professor, I need to see you about sothing."
"It's curfew ti; you should go back to bed."
Snape's tone was unnervingly calm: "If there's sothing you need to ask, you can co and see tomorrow."
Andy raised an eyebrow at this.
The reason Andy went to the lavatory half an hour early was to ask Snape about his findings.
After all, Snape was a professor, highly talented, experienced, and with a good grasp of magic. Andy felt that Snape's trip to the Departnt of Mysteries might have yielded so unexpected results.
At first, Andy thought that Snape didn't want to talk about it, so he was deliberately avoiding him.
But now it seed that... if Snape wasn't acting, then it ant that he had really discovered sothing, and it had caused him so anxiety.
Andy looked directly into Snape's eyes.
They were still empty, and he couldn't read anything in them.
Snape didn't say anything, and he kept looking at Andy, his expression unusually calm—a complete change from his usual expression of 'as if soone owed him millions of galleons.'
"That's fine..."
Andy nodded. "Professor, then it's settled."
After saying that, Andy withdrew his hand from the door panel.
Snape looked at Andy for a while longer and then closed the door expressionlessly behind him.
Tsk!
Andy stood at the door for a while, then silently turned and left.
'It looks like you learned a lot!'
Andy thought to himself, 'In this world, the only person who can affect Snape is Lily!'
Andy briefly stopped in his tracks and glanced back.
'He... seems to be hesitating?'
