Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Which Andy travelled back in time first?
Snape's face turned dark.
This 'shush' gesture... Who the hell are you threatening?
"Right,"
Andy asked again, "Professor, you seem a little distracted today. It's not about Azkaban, is it?"
Snape looked at Andy without saying anything.
But his meaning was already very clear.
Get out!
Andy didn't care about this, shrugged his shoulders, and turned around to leave.
When he reached the door, Andy paused, turned around, and said, "Professor, please don't tell anyone."
After saying that, Andy opened the door and left Snape's office.
"Everyone has their own little secrets."
Andy suddenly sighed in the corridor.
Even Snape has his own little secret.
At first, Andy thought that Snape was worried about Voldemort's actions. But when Andy learnt that Voldemort had attacked Azkaban, that idea was completely overturned.
He used to be a Death Eater.
But over the years as a Professor at Hogwarts, Snape has changed a lot.
He may be a little worried.
But he was an excellent spy, and something like 'Voldemort attacks Azkaban' was not enough to make Snape lapse into a trance.
He was worried about other things.
But Andy didn't care.
What Snape was worried about was Lily or Harry, and that didn't even require thinking about or caring enough to be on guard.
Besides, Andy had his own things to do.
The Secrets of Azkaban... Andy finally knows what it is.
The isolated island was once the place where the Dark Wizard Ekrizdis conducted his magical experiments.
Andy explored the place and suspected that Ekrizdis' experiments were related to 'Death'.
However, Andy only took a cursory look at the place during his last visit. The only thing he found was the basement and the two-dimensional world in the mural.
Hardly a big discovery!
But this time, Andy discovered another hidden room.
Perhaps it was the resonance caused by the power of death.
When Andy passed by there, he naturally discovered the room.
Apart from Andy, even Dumbledore did not notice it.
If it wasn't for 'Uchiha Andy' disappearing there at the end, Dumbledore might never have known that there was a hidden room in Azkaban.
After leaving the underground floor, Andy did some more preparations.
After nearly an hour of back and forth, Andy once again went to the lavatory cubicle and turned the Time Turner to travel back four hours.
Using the Disillusionment Charm to leave the castle, Andy avoided the crowds and secretly made his way to the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
He put a strand of hair into the Polyjuice potion—the hair of an unknown Auror.
With a pinched nose, Andy gulped down the Polyjuice Potion, and his body quickly stretched out in a series of contortions, while his clothes kept changing under the influence of Transfiguration.
When it was over, Andy's appearance had changed to that of 'Uchiha Obito'.
A black robe with flaming clouds and an orange one-eyed mask with a spiral pattern.
Next...
Andy took out a Portkey.
This was the Portkey Andy had created when he and Snape went to Azkaban to rescue Peter Pettigrew.
This Portkey could take him directly to the island where Azkaban was located.
Once the Portkey was activated, Andy arrived at Azkaban.
Andy complained out of the blue. "The Ministry of Magic...has really not learnt anything."
Recently, there have been two serious prison breaks at the Azkaban prison.
Let's not go into Sirius Black's escape.
But when Peter Pettigrew escaped, Azkaban was actually directly invaded.
As a result, the Ministry of Magic still hasn't changed the defence system here.
Even after Voldemort was resurrected, the Ministry of Magic only increased the number of guards to 'guard' Azkaban.
However, the facts have proven that those guards are completely useless.
The number of people sent by the Ministry of Magic is the number of casualties afterwards.
Hiding in a corner, Andy waited patiently.
Five minutes later, two figures materialised on the island's edge.
Unlike Andy, who had used the Disillusionment Charm, neither Dumbledore nor the other 'Andy' even bothered with the Disillusionment Charm when they appeared.
It was only after Voldemort had appeared that Dumbledore casually cast the Disillusionment Charm.
At the time, Andy didn't find it strange.
But now that he thought about it... Dumbledore was clearly looking down on the Ministry of Magic and the Aurors—I'm just going to appear in plain sight, yet none of you can notice me.
Arrogant but low-key.
This is in line with Dumbledore's style.
Time passed slowly...
Andy was in a good position, and from this angle, he could clearly see that the other 'himself' was talking to Dumbledore about something.
They were discussing the topic of fate.
In fact, even now, Andy is still a little puzzled.
Just based on Andy's personal timeline:
Three hours later (the point in time before the time travel: one hour from now), Andy will visit Harry in the school hospital wing and learn about Voldemort's attack on Azkaban.
After leaving the hospital wing, Dumbledore will reveal the content of the letter to Andy. Then the two will go back three hours in time and go to Azkaban together.
In Azkaban, Andy will see his future self.
Through his future self, Andy noticed that there was a hidden room in Azkaban.
Besides, his future self also entered there.
So Andy used the Time Turner again after returning to Hogwarts and went to Azkaban.
So the question is:
Which Andy went there first?
Was it 'Uchiha' Andy? Or Dumbledore's 'pendant' Andy?
Uchiha Andy came to Azkaban because Pendant Andy discovered the hidden room in Azkaban.
Pendant Andy came to Azkaban because Uchiha Andy fought Voldemort solo and saved a few Ministry Aurors.
Because of this action, Pendant Andy discovered the hidden room in Azkaban.
But the reason Pendant Andy was able to discover the hidden room was because Uchiha Andy gave him some hints.
But then again, the Pendant Andy is actually the Uchiha Andy from an hour ago.
Uchiha Andy knows about the hidden room because Pendant Andy knows about it.
Uchiha Andy and Pendant Andy are connected by this cycle of cause and effect.
It sounds complicated.
It is actually quite complicated.
At least Andy has not sorted out the cause-and-effect links here.
'Hiss...'
'It's a bit confusing!'
Andy scratched his head and thought, 'After this is over, I'll ask Hermione to help me analyse it with me!'
Andy had never really wanted to hide this mission from anyone.
It would be best if he could keep it a secret, but if not, that's fine too.
It was just exploring a room in Azkaban; what was the big deal?
Andy had even saved someone's life!
Compared to that, Andy still felt that the time travel problem was even more serious.
Andy felt that he might develop a psychological shadow over the Time Turner if he couldn't sort out the cause-and-effect relationships involved.
