"Mr. Potter?" Professor McGonagall looked at Harry similarly, and she noticed Harry's expression.
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips.
Harry was clearly an unreliable brat compared to Andy.
If the credibility of Andy's testimony was as high as nine points - the missing one point was due to the possibility of Andy lying.
Then Harry's testimony has three pitiful points of credibility - even if Harry hadn't lied, his testimony is untrustworthy.
But ... let's hear what he's trying to say.
Harry froze.
He did have something to say, but not now.
Under Professor McGonagall's scrutiny, Harry's face turned red as he held his tongue. He opened his mouth but didn't know how to begin.
"Mr. Potter!"
Professor McGonagall upped her tone and said, "If you saw something or found any clues, you better say it quickly."
"Mc, Professor McGonagall, I, we didn't find anything. Just ...," Harry stammered.
Andy glanced at Harry with some surprise.
Is this targeting me?
From this morning, when Hermione reminded Andy that 'Harry and Ron have a problem', Andy felt that something was wrong.
Whether the two of them had a problem or not was left aside, even if they did have a problem, how did Hermione find out?
Hermione was indeed smart and witty.
But her relationship with Harry and Ron was very average, belonging to the type who wouldn't even greet each other when they met.
In this case, how could Hermione discover Ron's problem?
Unless he deliberately let Hermione find out.
After that, Andy personally probed it ...
Ron did have a bit of a problem.
However, the biggest problem was - Ron wanted Andy to find out about it.
Professor McGonagall flushed.
You didn't find out anything, so why did you just make such an anxious face?
Who were you showing it to?
"What about you, Mr. Collins?" Professor McGonagall asked.
"I came with everyone."
Andy said calmly, "What they saw, is what I saw ..."
While speaking, Andy had been keeping an eye on Harry and Ron's expressions.
Harry was just simply a little anxious, he seemed to be afraid that Andy would say something. But Ron was a different story, his face had returned to normal.
Andy wasn't about to say too much to Professor McGonagall.
Professor McGonagall was too serious, and Andy wasn't on the same wavelength with her.
There was no need to talk about other things, just the study of dark magic alone, Professor McGonagall would never be able to accept it.
In contrast, Dumbledore and Snape are not serious professors.
Not to mention studying dark magic, even if it was more dangerous and evil magic, the two of them could accept it and even give some opinions.
Andy didn't know what Voldemort's Horcrux had planned, but now it seemed obvious that his plan had failed.
Just look at the location of this attack ...
The entrance to the Chamber of Secrets!
Perhaps Voldemort's Horcrux found some clues in the Chamber of Secrets and thus knew that Andy was the one who had entered it - Andy had spent quite a lot of time in the Chamber to translate the materials.
Plus, Andy also discovered the Room of Requirement.
As well as the Patronus Charm, which is a fusion of mind and magic.
Thinking about it this way, it didn't seem like something to be surprised that Voldemort was interested in Andy.
It was only now that Andy finally became certain.
This attack was aimed at him.
Backstabbing? Or a frame-up?
"Heh~" Andy suddenly let out a weak laugh.
He believed that Voldemort would never have imagined that a second-year wizard would not only dare to play with the Head of the Slytherin House, but even have a direct showdown with Dumbledore.
To be honest, Andy didn't think that the student-age Voldemort would dare to do such a thing.
It was a matter of mentality.
First of all, students naturally have a vulnerable mindset when facing their professors.
Secondly, Voldemort's had ulterior motives in his mind!
Never mind what Andy had done, or what he wanted to do, Andy had always thought he had behaved with integrity, and that he had done nothing wrong.
But Voldemort is different, he is a cunning and sneaky person, he wants to hide his true self, so Voldemort is bound to not dare to be too unrestrained in his student days.
It was naturally difficult for him to understand Andy when he judged others based on himself.
'I can't believe you're scheming against me.' Andy laughed softly, little Voldy had a lot of guts!
Hermione pulled Andy.
"Hmm?" Andy turned back.
The little witch signalled Andy with her eyes for a moment, she had obviously realized that something wasn't quite right.
This attack was intended to target Andy.
If things develop normally as they should ...
If Andy had publicly revealed the problem on Ron today, in which direction would things have gone?
Just by looking at Harry's expression, she knew that Ron must have told him something, and perhaps it was even related to Andy.
Otherwise, Harry wouldn't have an anxious look on his face.
"It's okay," Andy whispered soothingly.
It had to be said that Voldemort's plan was a little rough this time.
He didn't put Andy in his eyes at all, he just plotted against Andy at the same time he staged the attack.
To be honest, Andy was interested in seeing Voldemort's follow-up plan - it seemed like it would be quite entertaining.
***
It wasn't long before Dumbledore and the other professors arrived.
"Who was the first to arrive here?" Dumbledore inquired as he looked around the group.
"It was us, Professor Dumbledore. But she was already lying there when we arrived ...," Harry hastily explained, seemingly eager to prove that he had nothing to do with it.
Dumbledore nodded slightly, not pursuing the matter further.
Madam Pomfrey said at this point, "Like the last child, she has had a great deal of life force absorbed from her. If that life force cannot be returned back, they may never wake up again."
Wow...
The crowd was in an uproar.
Originally, everyone had only heard that Justin had been attacked but had not died.
But the truth was obviously not like that.
It was true that Justin did not die, but if those life forces that had been taken away could not be returned to their bodies, they would never wake up again.
What was the difference between that and being dead?
Hogwarts has become too dangerous!
Dumbledore was silent for a while as he looked at Harry and Ron and continued to inquire, "When you guys came over, did you notice anything unusual? Such as strange noises, or maybe someone else was nearby?"
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and finally, Harry said, "Professor Dumbledore, I, I heard some 'hissing' sounds."
Andy: "..."
Why don't you just say I did it?
Dumbledore obviously realized the problem as well.
Was this attack meant to target Andy Collins by using this?
Is it just to find a scapegoat, just like how Hagrid was framed back then? Or ... does he have another purpose in mind for Andy?
