Looking at the dementors floating above Azkaban, Andy suddenly had a crazy theory. 'Could it be that... there is a will interfering with the operations of the Ministry of Magic?'
If you look at the Ministries of Magic around the world, Azkaban is the only prison that uses Dementors to guard it.
The Ministry of Magic had many options.
But they chose the Dementors, a creature that had been labelled as 'evil', to guard Azkaban.
Although Dementors have a certain degree of intelligence, they can be easily swayed and have betrayed the Ministry more than once.
During the last wizard war, the entire Dementor horde sided with Voldemort and acted as minions.
The same will happen once again.
But the Ministry is turning a blind eye to this, and they still seem to 'trust' the Dementors, allowing them to continue guarding Azkaban.
Is the Ministry of Magic really that stupid?
Andy absolutely didn't believe that there was nothing going on here.
In fact, many high-ranking Ministry officials felt disgust and revulsion towards these evil creatures. Pureblood wizards in particular, who considered themselves to be noble, would frown at the mere mention of Dementors.
However... despite the Dementors' repeated betrayals, no one in the Ministry had ever held them fully accountable.
This made no sense!
'Is this something to do with the Department of Mysteries?'
Andy wondered.
'Maybe... maybe the Department of Mysteries really did interfere with some of the Ministry's decisions.'
If that was the case, then the Dementors are really special!
And with Dumbledore deliberately withholding information...
At this moment, Andy became even more curious about the Dementor's Kiss.
So how exactly does it work?
"Collins..." A low whisper startled Andy.
"Professor Snape!"
Andy took a deep breath and said crossly, "Do you know you can scare someone to death with a start?"
Snape's eyes looked in the direction of Azkaban as he whispered, "In a place like this, how could you have lost your guard?"
"How did you find me?" Andy was a little curious.
At the moment, Andy not only used the Disillusionment Charm to conceal his figure but also used a Potion to eliminate the smell on his body.
Andy had roamed around the island before, and the Aurors didn't react at all.
How did Snape find him?
Snape was silent for a moment upon hearing this, then responded, "I am a Potions master."
I see!
Andy raised an eyebrow. "Can anyone else spot me?"
"The Ministry of Magic… shouldn't be able to," said Snape.
That's right! If the Ministry of Magic is this capable, Andy wouldn't have been able to break into Azkaban so many times.
Not dwelling on this any longer, Andy continued, "There's still some time before the execution... Professor Snape, you're here really early."
This time, Andy didn't invite Snape to come along, but he still came.
Was it out of curiosity about the secret of the Dementor's kiss?
Or was it because he didn't trust him?
Andy revealed himself and glanced at Snape.
Snape remained silent.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Perhaps he had been in the role of professor for too long, so long that Snape could no longer shake off his professorial identity.
He felt responsible for keeping an eye on Andy.
"Humans are really strange. They think differently in different periods."
Andy said softly, taking his eyes off Snape. "Even if they are just wearing a mask to conceal their identity, if they wear that mask for too long, they will become someone else."
"Professor...is this a lack of strong will? Or is it that you have pretended to be someone for so long that you have actually come to believe it?"
Snape still didn't respond.
He felt that he shouldn't have meddled in other people's business because that wasn't his original character.
He loved dark magic and longed to join a powerful organisation.
However, a decade of teaching had changed everything.
"People can change."
Andy continued, "Professor, you have changed, and so has Professor Dumbledore."
"Objectively speaking, this is a good change."
"It's just that... you were changed passively, while Professor Dumbledore changed actively."
Snape remained silent.
But Andy could clearly feel that Snape's mood had become somewhat unstable.
Dumbledore's experiences were similar to Snape's.
One changed because of his sister, and the other because of his sweetheart.
They both became professors at Hogwarts.
A teaching career has indeed affected Snape.
So what about Dumbledore?
He taught for nearly a hundred years, but was it really just to give himself the ability to love and to make him fall in love with the wizarding world?
And then... to sacrifice for love and explore the truth of the world and magic?
"Is the truth of magic and the truth of the world really that important?" Snape suddenly asked.
"Aren't you curious?" Andy asked in return.
Snape looked sideways at Andy. "What about you? Sacrifice your life just to take a peek at the truth of the world. Collins, I don't think you would do such a stupid thing."
The truth...who wouldn't be curious.
But if the price is your life, how many people would have the courage to go through with it?
"I definitely wouldn't do it."
Andy admitted frankly and continued, "But Professor Dumbledore would. Because he's a Gryffindor."
Snape's eye twitched slightly.
Gryffindor...
"Don't say that word in front of me." Snape's tone was cold.
He was sick of Gryffindor!
"Alright."
Andy shrugged and continued, "Professor, when it comes to magic, I have nothing to hide..."
As he spoke, Andy waved his hand slightly, and the Fat Cat Patronus flew out of the ground beside Snape and circled around Andy before disappearing.
Snape's pupils shrank.
This boy... no longer needs a wand!
"It is my love."
Andy said slowly, "Before... I used magic transfiguration to steal the magic of the Death Dimension."
"Love and death..."
"I have both powers!"
"Professor, if you don't mind me asking... do you think my Patronus could sacrifice for me, like... like she did?"
"Then Big Cat might actually become my true Patronus!"
Snape's expression changed slightly.
Like Lily did for Harry?
"I don't know."
Snape looked at Andy and hesitated for a moment before saying, "But...in theory, it's possible."
Andy spread his hands. "So...I need some proof."
Snape paused for a moment and then suddenly asked, "Collins... I'm curious. You know about my relationship with Dumbledore; aren't you worried that I'll inform on you to him?"
Andy gave a faint smile.
"As I said, I won't hide anything when it comes to magic!"
Andy looked at Snape and chuckled, "In fact, I'm looking forward to you informing Professor Dumbledore. Because then, Dumbledore will tell me the answer."
"Dumbledore is very strong..."
"So...he won't be as worried about me as you are."
"Of course, I'm also very strong, so I never worry about keeping some things secret. In fact...I think you'll help me keep secrets, Professor."
