Without comparison, there is no harm.
To preserve his dignity as a professor, Professor Leddy explicitly ignored Andy and randomly called two young wizards to the stage to demonstrate.
Andy was helpless.
Why is it so hard for me to act cool?
***
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was nearing the end of November.
During this period of time, Hogwarts regained its peace, and for ten days in a row, not a single attack occurred in the castle.
Although the young wizards were still a bit fearful, they were no longer as terrified as they were ten days ago.
There was also a lot more laughter in the castle.
"The calm before the storm!"
In the dormitory, Andy stood by the window gazing at the moon, his brows furrowed, and his heart was somewhat troubled.
The more he knew, the more troubled he became.
There are more than twenty days left before the Christmas holiday, whether it is Dumbledore or Voldemort's Horcrux, they all know very well in their hearts that the period of the decisive battle is approaching.
But Andy still hadn't figured out how Dumbledore would manipulate Harry into having a head-on encounter with Voldemort.
--Harry had gone further and further in the wrong direction.
During this time, Andy didn't give up on the investigation, either.
Andy tested a few of the more suspicious people and occasionally kept an eye on the people who appeared around Harry, but never found any useful clues.
Voldemort's Horcrux was hidden very deeply!
Not only that, Andy hadn't received any more letters from Voldemort during this period, he seemed to have given up on roping Andy in and had completely disappeared.
At this point in time, Andy has no choice but to wait for Voldemort to make a move, and then see what happens.
Sometimes Andy also hesitated, always thinking about ignoring the whole thing!
He really doesn't need to fight with Voldemort.
But this time is really an excellent opportunity for actual combat, Andy does not want to just miss it.
The opponent is Voldemort's soul fragment, the battlefield is at Hogwarts, there is Dumbledore on his back, and his teammate is Harry, Voldemort's arch-enemy.
The timing is just right!
Dumbledore wanted to use the opportunity to train Harry, but this opportunity, how can it not be a training for Andy?
Andy opened the system panel.
[Potential Points: 3]
After this period of hard practice, Andy had saved three [Potential Points]. At this moment, Andy only needed a thought to raise the [Will] attribute to [3] points.
But if Andy could use his own strength to overcome the psychological barrier, the [Will] attribute might be able to naturally raise to [3] points.
In this way, Andy only needed to gather one more [Potential Point] to raise his [Will] attribute to [4] points.
With [Thinking] and [Will] reaching [4] points at the same time, plus [5] points of [Transfiguration], the danger of practising Animagus would be minimized.
"Ugh!" Andy sighed lightly.
I am still not strong-minded!
Glancing back at his three roommates who were already asleep, Andy changed into his wizard robe and walked out of the dormitory room alone.
Originally, Andy thought he had made up his mind.
However, when the [Potential Points] reached [3] points, Andy still hesitated.
'Obviously, things that can be easily solved by adding points, but I'm going to play with my life, isn't this asking for trouble?'
Walking aimlessly in the dark corridor, Andy gave a self-deprecating laugh.
He is still afraid of facing death too much.
Ta!
A faintly inaudible sound resounded extremely clearly in the silent corridor.
"Eh?" Andy was immediately alert.
Waving his wand and casting the Disillusionment Charm, Andy stood in the shadows at the corner of the corridor, hiding himself completely.
Who could it be at this late hour?
Andy gripped his wand tightly with his right hand and stared dead on at the direction from which the sound came.
Da da da-
The footsteps were getting closer and clearer.
A dark figure slowly appeared at the top of the stairs leading from the sixth floor to the seventh floor.
Andy did not stare at the approaching person intensely, but quickly raised his head and swept a glance at the other party.
It was a pity that the other party was hidden in the shadows, and Andy did not see the other party's face clearly.
'Who could it be?' Andy wondered in his heart.
Ta-da-da-da-
The person didn't seem to mind his identity being exposed, and in the darkness, his footsteps were very clear.
When he passed Andy, Andy stole a glance at him once again.
'It's him?' Andy was shocked in his heart.
How could Andy have expected that this person who came out alone for a night out in the middle of the night would be Ron Weasley!
'Why is it him again?'
'Is it the Imperius Curse? Or is ... Voldemort's Horcrux really in his hands?'
Andy's mind raced.
This was already the second time Ron had been controlled.
No, it was that Andy had only discovered it twice. Without Andy's knowledge, Ron might have been controlled by someone all along.
Andy quickly analysed in his mind, 'Ron has already met Dumbledore, and at that time, Dumbledore should have lifted the magic controlling Ron.'
'So ... are you trying to keep an eye on Harry? Or was it because it was easier to approach Ron?'
Ron walked past Andy as if nothing had happened.
'This way ... back to the dormitory?' Andy thought to himself.
No, that's not right!
Andy snapped back.
Even if Voldemort's Horcrux was interested in Harry, it had been already almost a month, so Voldemort should have already understood what kind of person Harry was.
One more thing ...
With Ron just wandering around the castle at night with such a big grin on his face, those portraits and ghosts should have spotted him a long time ago.
Plus, the doorkeeper in the Gryffindor common room is a fat woman portrait.
'Abandoned piece?' Andy wondered a bit further.
Andy touched the magic potion in his coat pocket.
The truth potion that was specially made to deal with Lockhart seemed to come in handy tonight.
Thinking of this, Andy raised his wand and pointed it at Ron's back.
Whoosh!
A magic beam flashed, and Ron fell straight to the ground, unconscious.
"Hmm ..."
Andy looked around before dragging Ron into an abandoned classroom.
"Let's see what secrets you really have!"
Andy took out the Truth Potion, cracked open Ron's mouth, and poured a sip directly into it.
After thinking about it, Andy waved his wand again, conjured up a rope to trap Ron in a deadlock, and stood behind him.
"Finite!"
Andy lifted the effects of the stunning spell.
"Mmm ..."
Ron let out a soft whimper and shook his head to snap himself out of it. When he was about to get up, Ron suddenly realized he had been tied up.
"Who is it?" Ron uttered in a low voice.
This is definitely not Ron's nature.
Andy knew Ron fairly well, if it was the real Ron, he should have been scared to death by this time.
But the Weasley family's family style, as well as the sense of justice in his heart, would again make Ron grit his teeth and hold on.
"Who controlled you?" Andy asked, changing his voice.
"I don't know!" Ron replied.
Andy was silent for a moment at that.
Don't know...?
That meant that Ron was really being controlled, he just didn't get a good look at the culprit.
