The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 280 A Little Voldemort, How Laughable!

Andy was somewhat moved.

To be honest, just now when Harry was "fighting" Voldemort, Andy appeared calm on the surface, but he actually felt a sense of superiority inside.

It's not that I look down on Harry; after all, Harry is only thirteen years old this year, he's still a child.

But the sense of superiority is very real.

But at this moment...

Watching Harry grit his teeth and endure the pain, forcing himself to crawl step by step towards Ron, his face contorted with agony, yet he refused to give up.

Andy suddenly felt a sense of admiration for Harry.

I was even a little envious.

As we grow up, we gradually abandon our childhood innocence until we can never find it again.

But Harry is different.

He has the heart of a child.

You can call him reckless, or even brainless; he certainly has many minor flaws. But aside from that, Harry doesn't really have any other shortcomings.

On the contrary, he has many advantages.

He is courageous, has a strong sense of justice, and is willing to do anything for his friends. He has a tenacious will and once he has made up his mind, he will not waver because of anything.

"Sigh!" Andy sighed.

These... I can't do them.

The decades of his previous life were not a lie. Having experienced the harsh realities of society, Andy had lost his childlike innocence and could never get it back.

It is said that a man is a boy until he dies.

However, a youthful mindset and childlike innocence are actually two different things.

Andy isn't that pure.

"Ugh!"

Harry suddenly let out a low growl and lunged forward onto Ron.

"Ron!"

Harry called out and began searching Ron's body.

"Harry Potter—"

Voldemort's voice sounded somewhat impatient. "Don't trust Collins. If you find that thing, Weasley is dead for good."

Although Voldemort did not believe that Andy could destroy the Horcruxes, Dumbledore was still at Hogwarts. Once Dumbledore arrived, destroying the Horcruxes would be a piece of cake.

Harry remained unmoved.

If I don't believe Andy, why should I believe you?

Harry quickly found a lady's tiara on Ron's person. "Andy, is this it?"

"Throw it out!" Andy shouted.

"Catch!" Harry used all his strength to throw the crown hard at Andy.

Ding-dong!

The crown fell to the ground two meters in front of Andy.

"This is... Ravenclaw's crown?" Andy raised an eyebrow.

Voldemort is such a waste of talent!

This is an antique!

"Andy Collins—"

Voldemort shouted, "Join me, or Dumbledore won't let you go!"

Andy rolled his eyes.

You're quite self-aware! If we team up, Dumbledore definitely won't let me off the hook.

With a wave of the wand, a wisp of flame ignited ten centimeters from the tip.

"Fiercefire Curse!?"

Voldemort panicked. "Kill me, and Weasley will be truly dead, and those others won't come back to life either!"

As Andy controlled Fiendfire to burn the Horcrux, he sighed and said, "Voldemort! What can I say to you? The moment I stopped you, you were already doomed."

"Even if we can't beat you, Hogwarts still has Dumbledore!"

"As the Dark Lord, you should die with some dignity."

boom--

The raging fire ignited the crown.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!!"

A heart-wrenching scream rang out as the Horcrux and Voldemort's soul fragments were utterly destroyed by the Fiendfyre.

"call--"

Andy breathed a sigh of relief. It was all sorted out!

"Harry, how are you?" Andy asked.

"Huff! I... I'm alright." Harry collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Andy went over and checked on Ron's condition.

Harry struggled to sit up as well.

"His complexion has returned to normal, and he wasn't seriously injured."

Andy guessed, "They should wake up in a little while. The other two classmates whose life force was taken away should recover soon too."

Harry finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Oh, right!"

Harry asked curiously, "Was that Voldemort just now?"

"Ah! It's a dark magic item made by Voldemort." Andy didn't know how to explain the Horcrux to Harry, so he could only give a vague answer.

Harry nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

He hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Andy, that dimensional demon you mentioned before..."

"What's wrong?" Andy asked Harry.

"It's nothing!"

Harry hesitated for a moment, then said, "I just feel like you're pretty amazing."

"Ha! I was just fooling Voldemort."

Andy shrugged and said, "I just wanted to stall for time, but Headmaster Dumbledore hasn't come yet."

The old principal is taking way too long.

Of course, Andy also knew that Dumbledore's continued absence was actually to let Harry experience what it was like to face Voldemort directly.

This kind of behavior of arranging other people's lives is actually very annoying.

But Andy had to admit that Dumbledore was right.

"I was held up by something."

Dumbledore suddenly arrived. "Collins, you did a great job. Harry, you were very brave too."

"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry exclaimed with delight.

Andy asked curiously, "Principal, who is the other person?"

To be honest, Andy was quite curious.

A month has passed since Halloween, and Andy has been investigating for a month.

But they gained nothing.

They haven't even identified a suspect yet.

"It's Ron's brother, Percy Weasley," Dumbledore said solemnly.

"It's him?" Andy raised an eyebrow.

To be honest, Andy had suspected him and even tested him, but found nothing.

Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "Dark wizards are best at bewitching and deceiving people. Voldemort was the best at it."

Incitement? Deception?

Voldemort?

Voldemort did try to tempt Andy and Harry all night, but they remained unmoved.

To be honest, Andy didn't think Voldemort could fool anyone.

He's so stupid!

Seemingly sensing Andy's doubts, Dumbledore explained, "The reason you and Harry are able to remain steadfast is because of the justice in your hearts, and because you have recognized Voldemort's true nature."

"But you should know that just the name 'Voldemort' is enough to garner a lot of followers."

"Just like Harry trusted you before."

Andy glanced at Dumbledore; the old geezer had indeed been spying on him the whole time.

However, Andy understood what Dumbledore meant.

Outstanding people are usually more likely to gain the trust of others.

That's how famous quotes are; you have to become a celebrity first before your words can become famous quotes.

Voldemort was, after all, the Dark Lord, and there were many who wanted to benefit from him.

It's worth the gamble!
