"Yes, yes!" Malfoy stuttered.
Looking at Andy in front of him, Malfoy suddenly felt that he had seen through all of his plans.
First, he would cooperate with Dumbledore to sabotage Voldemort's resurrection plan once, and then use this to gain Dumbledore's favour and pretend to join Dumbledore's camp.
Then he would let Voldemort resurrect successfully and wait for Dumbledore and Voldemort to perish together.
Andy might also contribute to this.
After Dumbledore and Voldemort are dead, he will step forward and claim all the credit, proclaiming that he is the one who defeated Voldemort.
With his formidable strength, his great reputation for defeating Voldemort, and his good personal image... Andy will be able to seize power and take control of the entire British wizarding world.
Malfoy suddenly remembered something he read in the newspaper this morning.
The newspaper said that the Minister of Magic, Cornelius Fudge, had been reported by a young wizard named Andy Collins.
Malfoy had not been able to understand the significance of this act on Andy's part before.
But now he could see that only by removing the Minister of Magic could Andy seize power in the Ministry – he was already preparing for the future.
What a perfect plan!
Malfoy thought excitedly.
This was far superior to Voldemort's methods.
Just think about it: during the last wizard internal war, Voldemort had been stirring up trouble in the wizarding world for over ten years, but he had not been able to seize power until the very end.
On top of that, the way Voldemort presented himself...
To be fair, Malfoy had always admired Death Eaters over the past ten years of his life.
But he couldn't deny that Voldemort's reputation in the wizarding world was terrible.
But there is no such trouble on Andy's end!
If Andy's plot went according to plan, he would end up taking over the wizarding world as a hero.
Malfoy trembled with excitement.
He looked at Andy and suddenly understood his mission.
"Collins, I understand,"
Malfoy's eyes sparkled. "I'll get my father to be an informant for Dumbledore as soon as possible and leak information about the Dark Lord to him, so that Dumbledore and the Dark Lord will perish together,"
Andy: "..."
You understand very well.
But on second thought, getting Lucius Malfoy to be an informant for Dumbledore seems like a good idea. With him in the front line, Snape's identity will be much safer.
Andy still values Snape's talents very highly!
He is truly a master of potions.
Unlike Helen, Snape is proficient in potion pharmacology, and he has already gained insight into the rules of potion herb combinations. He can change the recipe of a potion at will without affecting its efficacy.
Andy believes that throughout the entire British wizarding community, only Snape has achieved this mastery.
"Don't let anything slip," Andy reminded him, then prepared to end the conversation.
Malfoy suddenly asked, "Collins, what about Professor Snape? Do we...need to reveal his identity?"
Andy thought about it.
Snape was undercover, and even if someone revealed his identity to Dumbledore, Dumbledore would not do anything to Snape, but would instead cover for Snape.
"This is important information,"
Andy said indifferently, "This information will allow your father to gain Dumbledore's trust."
"As for Snape... keeping an undercover agent in plain sight, Dumbledore can still use Snape to convey the wrong information to Voldemort."
"That old man is very shrewd!"
Malfoy nodded in approval upon hearing this.
Indeed, it was very likely that Dumbledore already knew Snape's true identity. If his father did not reveal Snape, he would never be able to gain Dumbledore's trust.
"I understand. I will write to my father later."
Having said that, Malfoy hurriedly reassured him, "But I won't reveal our deal for the time being. My father..."
Before Malfoy could finish, Andy interrupted, "That's it! I still have some things to discuss with Dumbledore. If you don't have anything else to do, that's enough for today!"
"There's one more thing..." Malfoy hurriedly said.
He paused, deliberating on his words, before continuing, "Collins, I know I shouldn't say this, but... Miss Granger's identity may well hinder our plans..."
Bang!
Malfoy flew backwards, crashing into the wall and hanging upside down.
"Malfoy, do you think we know each other that well?"
Andy felt that Malfoy was really a bit too arrogant.
Who do you think you are to advise me in such a matter like that?
Not to mention the fact that Andy had no intention of becoming the Dark Lord at all.
The reason he was chatting with Malfoy about all this nonsense was simply because he felt that Lucius Malfoy's defection would make it easier to fight Voldemort.
That was all!
And then again,
Even if Andy really became the Dark Lord, you Malfoy, a mere lackey, dare to speak to the Dark Lord like this, is it that you have no attachment to the mortal world?
"I, I know I was wrong."
Malfoy's face turned red.
He didn't know what spell Andy had used, and he just felt that he had difficulty breathing. His lungs seemed to be filled with a huge air mass as if it would burst at any time.
He couldn't breathe in or out.
"Please... give me another chance," Malfoy said, struggling to breathe.
Andy looked at Malfoy for a moment, then let him down.
"This is the last time!" With that, Andy opened the classroom door and walked towards the seventh floor.
"Huff, puff, puff..."
Malfoy gasped heavily.
For the first time in his life, he deeply realised how happy it was to be able to breathe.
It was also the first time Malfoy had witnessed Andy's strength—if you didn't count the time in the first year.
No incantation was uttered, and no wand was waved.
All Malfoy saw was Andy's fingers lift slightly, and he was sent flying backwards.
"Amazing!"
Malfoy's face was flushed with excitement. He felt like he really had good eyes.
Two years ago, Andy still needed to use his wand to overpower him. But now... Andy didn't even need his wand to take care of him.
Malfoy deeply felt that if he gave Andy a year or two more, he could surpass both Dumbledore and Voldemort.
No wonder I chose to serve this Dark Lord — Draco Malfoy thought.
On the other hand, Andy leisurely walked to the seventh floor of the castle.
As for Malfoy...
To be honest, Andy felt like he was playing house with him.
Except that this game of 'house' wasn't about a couple living together, but about the Dark Lord and his lackeys attempting to subvert the entire wizarding world.
It was laughable even to think about it!
Two third-year wizards thinking about subverting the current wizarding world's order?
You've got to be kidding me!
Andy didn't let it get to him. After getting the password to the Headmaster's Office from Professor Flitwick, Andy once again met with Dumbledore.
