Chapter 606 Safe Arrival
It was not known whether it was because Andrew mobilized the prefects to check for potential safety hazards along the way, or because the curse was triggered by Dumbledore, but the Hogwarts Express finally arrived safely at King's Cross Station without any problems.

However, Professor Moody did not think that Andrew's actions were unnecessary. On the contrary, the former Auror felt that Andrew was not cautious enough - for example, he did not cast a spell to check whether he was a real person or someone else who had sneaked in.

"It's been more than a year, and I still can't get used to our professor. Although he is very capable, the things he does are always a little crazy."

After Moody left, the sixth-year Hufflepuff prefect muttered. He looked around and made sure that the professor was not around before adding to Andrew, "According to this situation, we won't change professors next school year?"

"Correct answer," Andrew nodded, "Professor Moody's advanced class really lets students duel."

"cool!"

"The curse is no longer effective?"

"Perhaps Dumbledore has found a way to deal with it?"

"Perhaps the Triwizard Tournament canceled out the curse. After all, there are four headmasters..."

The class leaders had different opinions - although there was no public acknowledgement of the annual change of professors, those who could become class leaders all started in the fifth grade and had long known what the situation was like in the school.

"Maybe he's afraid of Professor Moody."

Andrew shook his head. He had no idea what was going on - but he was very curious about what Dumbledore was thinking. Why did he suddenly think of letting him be responsible for communicating with Professor Moody?
"Okay, okay, anyway, we're here. Don't be too busy thinking about the professor. This is the last shift of this school year. Start organizing the student team and assist the staff of the Ministry of Magic to evacuate the crowd!"

Now was obviously not the time to think about this, so Andrew loudly instructed the class leaders to start working - theoretically this should be the job of the student union president, but since he had called everyone over to gather, it didn't matter if he did it.

The prefects began to disperse, stopping the students and releasing them in batches. Andrew stayed on the train and began to wonder what on earth Dumbledore was thinking when he asked him to arrange this.

"That's strange. It doesn't seem like Dumbledore's style."

He shook his head and began to think.

"What are you thinking about, Taylor?"

A familiar voice sounded, and Andrew was startled. He looked up and saw that extremely familiar face.

"Ah, Principal, why are you in the car too?" Andrew was stunned.

"Of course I'm keeping an eye on that curse. At least until the students are completely safe, I'll keep a close eye on Professor Moody." Dumbledore sat opposite Andrew and began to unpack the remaining licorice wand on the table without waiting for Andrew's invitation. "Ah... It still tastes like it did back then."

"But why are you hiding?"

Andrew didn't understand.

"Because I don't intend to make our professor feel like a weak person," Dumbledore smiled. "Although some people always say that I am unkind, I will still try my best occasionally."

He took a puff of his wand, and the smile on his face became more sincere. "Well, I have done many tests in the past few days, but every test result tells us that the possible curse has disappeared."

"Disappeared?"

"Correct, although it couldn't be detected directly before," Dumbledore looked at Andrew, "but I could feel it, and now, I can't feel it at all - usually, this means one thing, the person who cast the curse is dead."

There were crowds of people outside the car, but Andrew inside the car was stunned.

"died?"

"It's likely," Dumbledore said without any relief on his face, "but the question now is, who did it and why?" Obviously, Dumbledore did not think that it was a righteous person who did good deeds without leaving a name and eliminated a scourge for the wizarding world.

Andrew thought so too - he still remembered the Horcruxes and was going to rob Gringotts after studying spells this school year, but now, the owner of the Horcruxes was dead?
This is not magic at all!
"I checked the remaining crown I had," Dumbledore looked at Andrew, "and it did not trigger the phenomenon, Taylor."

"So, he took the initiative to stop the curse?"

Although it sounds very funny, after excluding other possibilities, this is actually the most reliable one - Tom is not dead, the Horcrux is still there, and the reason why the curse stopped can't be that the person who lost his nose was kind-hearted, right?

"I think so, Taylor, but I don't think he faked his own death - if that were the case, I would have known about it by now instead of finding out about it now."

Dumbledore tapped his fingers on his liquorice wand. "So I want to hear your opinion."

"Could it be..."

Andrew thought quickly, "Well, accumulate strength?"

"Gathering up strength?"

"Yes," Andrew tried to sort out a possibility, "The curse itself consumes the power of the wizard. No matter how powerful the wizard is, he can't curse endlessly."

He has been cramming some spells this year, and his theoretical knowledge has increased rapidly. "Many pseudo-permanent spells will become ineffective the moment the wizard dies. Many theories believe that it is because the wizard can no longer maintain the spell. Although there is no obvious permanent loss of magic power, it may consume potential that we don't understand."

"That's what I thought, Taylor," Dumbledore nodded. "I suspect he is gathering strength and has completed the resurrection ritual."

"But why not accumulate strength to revive, Professor?"

"I don't think he can easily remove a curse of that degree," Dumbledore nodded, "So, I guess he is trying to make the best use of his strength after his resurrection."

It's not an unreasonable perception - if he were Voldemort, he would play the same way.

If you want to hurt someone, you must first clench your hands into fists, and the same applies to combat - except that it's a bit sad that the guy was resurrected after all, without even a little time to develop.

"Read more books during the summer vacation, and empty Gringotts before school starts. Also, research how to get the piece out of Harry's brain. Mr. Flamel's transformation technique should be a good aid."

"So, Principal, what do I need to pay attention to?"

"be careful."

Dumbledore nodded with a smile, "Well, be careful. You are probably the most important target, no doubt about it."

???

Did you come all this way just to scare me, Principal?
Isn't Harry Potter the best target? With him here, what does it have to do with me?

"You are going to visit Brazil, and the local Ministry of Magic will definitely show a welcoming attitude. Tom will definitely keep an eye on you, so Professor Moody will go with you as a visiting professor."

What's the use? Can it be sent as a group?

Andrew just wanted to refuse the visit.
