Kapitel 154: Chapter 154: Date at 10pm

"It's the duelling club thing."

Cedric said, "I'm going to be in the fifth year next year, and I'll have to prepare for the O.W.L.s then, so this year should be my last year in the duelling club."

"How about we just stick to last school year's schedule then, and meet once a week?" Andy proposed.

Cedric nodded, "That's what I was thinking."

The Ordinary Wizard Levels Exam and the Nastily Exhausting Wizarding Tests concerned the future of every young wizard. Andy might not care, but he couldn't stop others from pursuing their careers.

Everyone had their own aspirations.

What's more, after experiencing the summer holiday's working life, Andy also understood in his heart that no matter which world he was in, it would be difficult to live without money.

Even if one possessed great strength, it was impractical to go out and rob.

For Cedric, after graduation, finding a preferred job, then getting married and having children, is considered a perfect life.

Just ...

Andy looked up at the sky.

Finding a job, getting married and having children, that kind of life had ended in Andy's previous life.

It was not easy to live again for a second time or to be reborn in a magic world that possessed such extraordinary power as magic. Andy had already made up his mind long ago to devote his entire energy to studying magic.

Power and eternal life!

Even if it was a lifetime of doing nothing.

Hermione looked at Andy with some concern.

After spending a lot of time with Andy, she could feel that Andy was a bit out of place from the other people around her.

Hermione felt that Andy was different from her.

Hermione had very few friends, but it wasn't that she didn't want to make friends, she wanted to fit in. It was just that her personality prevented her, and she didn't know how to get along with other people.

But Andy was different.

Andy seemed like he could talk to many people, but Hermione could feel that Andy didn't care about those so-called friends.

Whether it was Ron, who he had known since childhood, or Cedric and Cho Chang in front of them.

They were just a mere passer-by in life for Andy.

Andy glanced at Hermione, who also happened to look over.

Andy smiled.

This path was destined to be lonely, as it was completely opposite to the values of the entire magic world.

It was also unknown if Hermione would be able to accompany him to the end.

***

The vehicle slowly stopped at the entrance of the castle.

Andy stepped out of the wagon just in time to see Snape, dressed in black, standing at the entrance of the castle, and he didn't know who he was waiting for.

"Professor Snape, good evening."

Andy walked over to him and said, "Have you been entrusted with this year's orientation?"

"Andy Collins ..."

Snape lowered his eyes to Andy and said in a slow tone, "Do you mind other people's business as well?"

Hermione nervously tugged at Andy, a little worried that Snape would deduce points off Andy.

"Probably on a whim!" Andy said casually.

Andy knew that when Snape said 'nosy', he wasn't referring to the fact that he was talking to him, but the fact that he had written him a letter.

Snape glanced at Andy and asked lightly, "It looks like you already know?"

"Ah! I have some contacts in the Ministry of Magic, so I more or less guessed it."

Andy spread his hands and said, "By the way, Malfoy and Weasley fought."

Snape's lip curled into a mocking smile, "I've read the papers, that's nothing new."

Hermione looked at Andy and Snape quizzically.

Ron and Malfoy got into a fight? And it was in the papers? When had that happened?

Thinking of Ron, Hermione opened her mouth to say something about Ron and Harry driving and flying to Hogwarts.

Just thinking of Snape's character, Hermione swallowed her words back.

"It's good that you guys are prepared."

Andy said, "Professor, I'll go to the Great Hall first."

After saying that, Andy pulled Hermione towards the great hall.

Hermione whispered, "Andy, we have to inform the professor that Harry and Ron might be in danger."

Andy rolled his eyes, "Why do you think Professor Snape is waiting at the door?"

Hermione: "..."

What kind of grudge is this? What sort of resentment?

Was Snape waiting at the door specifically to deduce points from Harry and Ron the first chance possible?

That's quite something on his part.

Snape watched as Andy's back disappeared in front of the castle entrance, and then turned back expressionlessly.

By the end of the day, Snape had to admit that Dumbledore was right; Andy was no ordinary young wizard.

Contacts at the Ministry of Magic?

It seemed that Andy already knew that the Ministry's search for dark magic items was actually Dumbledore's idea.

Was it because he knew this that he speculated that Dumbledore's real purpose was actually to investigate the dark magic items left behind by Voldemort?

There might be some connection between the two.

But the fact that Andy could accurately speculate the truth was enough to prove that Andy's mind was sharp.

It's just ...

Even a genius such as Voldemort only possessed the strength to despise the entire magic world when he was around thirty years old.

How many years would it take for Andy to get to that point?

Snape rolled his eyes and put this matter aside, the most important thing at the moment was to catch Harry Potter red-handed.

It is best to be able to expel him!

If it's not possible, it's necessary to deduce a hundred points from Gryffindor,

***

Walking into the great hall, Andy immediately felt an overflow of joy.

I believe none of these young wizards wanted to go to school before the start of the academic year.

--except Harry.

But after actually coming to Hogwarts, you could immediately experience the joyful atmosphere that belonged uniquely to the school.

At the Ravenclaw long table, Andy exchanged pleasantries with some acquaintances and chatted about each other's holiday life.

"Andy, what exactly did you mean by what you said to Professor Snape?" Hermione asked in a small voice.

She always had the feeling that Andy wasn't talking about Ron and Draco Malfoy.

It was just the beginning of the academic year, Andy wasn't going to get into trouble again, was he?

Get rid of Professor Lockhart?

"You want to know?" Andy asked with a sideways glance.

Thinking about the Chamber of Secrets, Andy decided to find a chance to get through to Hermione. The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets was in the girls' lavatory, and there was no one better than Hermione to find out where the entrance was.

Hermione glanced at Andy suspiciously before nodding slightly, "Hmm!"

"That's fine! At ten o'clock at night, make sure you come to the Astronomy Tower." Andy said.

Ten o'clock at night?

Hermione's entire body was instantly alert, "Why 10 pm? And still have to go to the Astronomy Tower?"

This person wasn't going to do something bad again, was he?

Andy leaned close to Hermione's ear and whispered, "It's about Hogwarts' secrets, and it has something to do with the Volt ... You-Know-Who as well."

Hermione was instantly swayed.

Hogwarts' secrets, and Voldemort's.

This sort of thing simply couldn't be resisted.

"That's fine."

Hermione looked at Andy and warned, "Tonight at ten o'clock, I'll wait for you at the Astronomy Tower. If you dare to trick me, I'll make sure to give you a good time!"
