The wizard in Hogwarts is unscientific

Find out Harry's secret?

Andy mused.

If it is true as Dumbledore said, is this also the reason why Voldemort's Horcrux controlled Ron's actions?

"correct!"

Andy suddenly thought of something and asked: "Principal, over there in Hogsmeade..."

"It's been arranged."

Dumbledore said: "My brother opened a tavern in Hogsmeade. With him watching over it, nothing will happen."

Thus……

Andy thought for a moment.

Dumbledore is watching over here at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore's brother is watching over over at Hogsmeade. Even if you leave school on leave, you will be searched thoroughly before leaving.

So even though Voldemort's Horcrux was well hidden, he actually had no chance of leaving the castle.

The reason why Dumbledore has not launched a large-scale search operation is, firstly, to train Harry, and secondly, because Voldemort's behavior is still within his tolerance range.

——After all, no one was killed.

In this case, Voldemort's Horcruxes were very limited in what they could do.

He didn't even dare to go too far.

Unable to leave the castle for the time being, what Voldemort wanted to do most was naturally to find out Harry's secret.

As for Andy's line...

Voldemort's Horcrux may have held on to a glimmer of hope, but he would never dare to truly trust Andy.

Once Andy actually did as Voldemort said...

Voldemort had two choices.

First, trust Andy.

Second, report Andy, use Andy to cause chaos, and then take the opportunity to escape from the castle.

"Headmaster, speaking of Hogsmeade..."

Andy continued to ask: "If the little wizard controlled by Voldemort's Horcrux performs Apparition in Hogsmeade, wouldn't he be able to leave the castle?"

Dumbledore nodded slightly, "That's right."

"Then..." Andy was stunned when he heard this.

That being the case, why didn't Voldemort do this?

Is Harry's secret more important than his resurrection?

Dumbledore asked: "Collins, if you have a doppelganger, do you think that doppelganger is you?"

"Uh...of course not!" Andy replied.

Dumbledore continued: "In this case, when Voldemort split the soul to make the Horcrux, of course he had to put some restrictions on the Horcrux to prevent the split souls in the Horcrux from turning the other way."

Andy nodded, there was some truth in that.

only……

I can't even trust myself. Isn't this too tragic?

"This is the price of dark magic!"

Dumbledore took the opportunity to educate: "There is always a price to pay for using the power of darkness."

Andy was noncommittal.

In this world, if you want to get anything, you have to pay a price.

"Principal, if you want to gain knowledge, you need to devote your time."

Andy retorted: "I think time is the most precious thing, what do you think?"

Don’t you just stop studying in order to cherish your time?

"Time is indeed precious." Dumbledore did not argue anymore.

Because there is no point in arguing about this.

Everyone has different values, and what you care about may not matter to others.

Andy shrugged and said: "Let's continue talking about Voldemort! Now it seems that it is impossible to lure the snake out of the hole. It is impossible for him to trust me."

Dumbledore nodded and said slowly: "But his ultimate goal is to leave Hogwarts. I gave him a certain amount of freedom, so he can tolerate it for the time being."

But this forbearance has a time limit.

Christmas vacation!

Voldemort's Horcruxes should be well aware that Dumbledore would never let him leave Hogwarts.

After entering December, his actions will definitely be even crazier.

Because of this, although the Christmas holiday is the deadline, Dumbledore must take action before then.

Andy suddenly discovered that Dumbledore and Voldemort were tacitly understanding many things.

Whether it was Quirrell last semester or the Horcrux this semester, there was always a special tacit understanding between the two.

Even the last Wizarding War was like this.

With Dumbledore staying in the castle, Voldemort would not harm Hogwarts students—even students from Muggle families.

"Okay! I know what to do." Andy said helplessly.

You don't necessarily have to follow Voldemort to lure the snake out of its hole.

As the Christmas holidays draw closer, Voldemort's Horcruxes will become more impatient. When the time comes, he'll grasp at every straw.

Andy was obviously one of the lifesavers, too.

Dumbledore blinked, "Collins, you are the most alert little wizard I have ever seen."

You can pull it down!

Andy stood up and said with a smile: "Principal, please do your work, I won't disturb your work."

…

After leaving the principal's office, Hermione immediately greeted him.

The little witch looked around with a sly look, and then asked in a low voice: "Andy, how was your talk?"

"not too good!"

Andy responded and asked, "How are you doing here? Is anyone following you?"

Hermione said: "No! And our first class today is Charms. We will not arouse suspicion if we come to the eighth floor."

"What did Professor Dumbledore say? Why don't you guys have a good conversation?"

The little witch was a little anxious.

Since this morning, Andy has been hesitating and unwilling to say anything to her.

This is so different from the Andy before.

So Hermione subconsciously felt that this time it must be important.

"Remember that letter from this morning?"

Andy leaned close to Hermione's ear and whispered: "He wants to win over me."

Hermione: "!!"

This is so exciting!

"Then what's your plan?" Hermione asked quickly. She had obviously also thought of a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

Andy spread his hands and said: "What else can we plan? Of course, do nothing. He can still hold back his temper and plot against us now, but by next month, he won't be so leisurely."

The more hasty you are, the more mistakes you will make.

"All right!"

Hermione smoothed her hair and said, "It's getting late, we should go to class."

Ravenclaw's first lesson today was Charms with Gryffindor.

Entering the classroom, Andy glanced at Harry and Ron without leaving any trace.

According to Dumbledore, Voldemort's Horcruxes are still leisurely and elegant to play with them. While planning to escape from the castle, you can also investigate the secrets of Harry.

After all, the soul in this Horcrux was separated from Voldemort when he was young.

During this period, Voldemort's character was mature and his actions were not so extreme.

"Is he controlling Ron to get Harry's secrets?"

Andy analyzed in his mind: "Or...from a relationship perspective, it is most convenient to control Ron?"
