Chapter 209 Snape Never Makes Trouble, What He Does Is Called New
Chapter 209 Snape never makes trouble, what he does is called news
Andy had indeed expected that Snape might make a big news. But he didn't expect that this day would come so early, and what he didn't expect was that this news would be so big.
Is Snape crazy?
Or is Dumbledore really old and confused?
Monday, October 5, 1992.
Hogwarts Great Hall.
During breakfast, a group of owls flew into the Great Hall, bringing letters and items to the little wizards of Hogwarts.
After reading the letter from home, Andy put the letter away and opened the folded newspaper to see if there was any interesting news recently.
In fact, the newspapers in the magic world are very boring.
After all, the population of the magic world is so small, and there are only so many trivial things to toss around every day.
But Rita Skeeter's reports are very interesting.
She always finds those secret news and reports them. Although those reports are three-tenths true and seven-tenths false, and she added a lot of her own fabricated things.
But those fabricated things are actually quite interesting.
Andy said that he is her fan, that's not a joke.
In the past few years without mobile phones and computers, Andy relied on Rita Skeeter's reports to make a living.
Open the newspaper, the headline is a castle standing on an isolated island.
That's Azkaban!
As one of the safest places in the wizarding world, as famous as Hogwarts, Azkaban holds many criminals, and even many vicious Death Eaters.
Since the Ministry of Magic used Azkaban as a wizard prison, there has never been a prisoner escape.
The Ministry of Magic has also repeatedly claimed that Azkaban is very safe.
But now...
A corner of Azkaban in the newspaper was blown up, and hundreds of Dementors were floating around the castle. Aurors kept apparating to the isolated island, looking solemnly at the Dark Mark in the sky that represented Voldemort.
A green skull with a long snake spitting out of its mouth.
The photo at the bottom of the front page showed the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, with an ugly face. His face was distorted, and he seemed a little scared.
"This is..."
Did Snape do it?
Andy was confused.
Snape was so arrogant?
What exactly did he and Dumbledore plan?
With doubts, Andy read the newspaper carefully.
According to the official statement given by the Ministry of Magic, at about 1 a.m. last night, a Death Eater in a black robe attacked Azkaban and tried to release the imprisoned Death Eaters.
But under the heroic resistance of the Aurors, they not only killed the arrogant Death Eater on the spot, but also ensured that no prisoner escaped from Azkaban.
During the battle, although a Death Eater escaped from Azkaban by chance, he died tragically under the kiss of the Dementor.
In short, Azkaban is safe, the Aurors are brave, and the Ministry of Magic can control the Dementors.
The magic world is even more peaceful.
"Sure enough, the official report is nothing good." Andy silently complained.
If you want to see really interesting and content-rich news, you have to read Rita Skeeter's report.
Andy looked in the newspaper and saw Rita Skeeter's signature in a very conspicuous position.
This woman's report is different.
After eliminating those fabricated things, Andy got the following information.
She claimed that there must have been Death Eaters who escaped the Ministry of Magic's trial by relying on dirty PY transactions, but because of the greed of Minister of Magic Fudge, they decided to create an attack to send a little fear to the greedy minister.
She also said that the Death Eaters began to connect last month, and they reached some kind of secret deal, and one of the Death Eaters was hiding in Hogwarts.
"Awesome!" Andy was full of admiration.
Although Rita Skeeter's report did not name names, it implicitly pointed out a pure-blood family and Snape.
In order to shut up this woman, the Death Eaters of that pure-blood family either chose to kill her or give her a large sum of gold Galleons as hush money.
At this time when the Ministry of Magic is in a panic, Andy does not think that those pure-blood families will have the courage to kill Rita Skeeter.
After all, that woman is very famous!
Of course, she is also very greedy, and gold Galleons are enough to deal with her.
This is also the fundamental reason why she can live to this day.
After reading Rita Skeeter's report, Andy was convinced that Snape was the one who did it.
Who else could be the Death Eater hiding in Hogwarts besides Snape?
It couldn't be Lockhart, could it?
But... why did Snape do this?
Andy analyzed in his heart, "To find Voldemort's Horcrux? Or... Snape is an undercover agent, and he did this to gain Voldemort's trust?"
The ultimate goal of Dumbledore and Snape is to kill Voldemort.
Based on this point of analysis, many things are actually easy to guess.
"Voldemort possessed Quirrell and entered Hogwarts last year. Could he have reached some kind of deal with Snape?" Andy thought in shock.
After all, it was Harry who killed Quirrell in the original book, but now the plot has been messed up by Andy. For the ultimate goal of killing Voldemort, it seems reasonable for Snape to go undercover.
"Andy, is there any interesting news?" Seeing Andy reading the newspaper for a long time, Hermione curiously stretched her head over.
"Very interesting news, read it yourself!" Andy handed over the Daily Prophet.
In fact, Hermione didn't need to read it. Before Hermione took the newspaper, a shocked voice came from the auditorium.
"Azkaban was attacked by Death Eaters!"
"What?"
"This is true! Fortunately, the Auror of the Ministry of Magic killed the Death Eater on the spot, so the prisoners didn't escape from Azkaban."
"The Ministry of Magic can't be trusted. They will exaggerate one point of credit."
"Let me see the newspaper!"
"..."
Listening to the noisy sound in the auditorium, Hermione looked at Andy in shock, "Azkaban was attacked by Death Eaters?"
"Yeah!" Andy gestured to the newspaper in his hand.
Hermione took the newspaper and quickly flipped through it.
Andy fell into deep thought.
If his previous speculation was correct, then Snape attacked Azkaban in order to gain Voldemort's trust.
If he still stood on Dumbledore's side, he would never let any Death Eater escape.
Andy thought of the unlucky Death Eater who died under the Dementor's kiss... This makes sense.
"And he also left the Dark Mark as a warning!"
But...
"Did Voldemort not let Snape help him resurrect because he didn't trust him? Or is Snape actually a double agent, and he also helped Voldemort to find out about Dumbledore?"
Andy thought to himself: "This failure... Maybe it will make Voldemort even more anxious?"
Snape's next days may not be easy.
