Andy was somewhat touched.
To be honest, just now when Harry 'fought' Voldemort, Andy on the surface although indifferent, but there is actually some sense of superiority in his heart.
He didn't look down on Harry, after all, Harry is only thirteen years old this year, he is still a child.
But the feeling of superiority is real.
But this moment ...
Watching Harry gritting his teeth and enduring the pain, bracing his body to crawl towards Ron inch by inch. The expression on his face was twisted and distorted due to the pain, but he still refused to give up.
Andy suddenly admired Harry a little.
Even a little envious.
As we continue to grow up, the childish innocence we once had will be discarded by us, little by little, until we can never get it back.
But Harry was different.
He had a heart of gold.
You can call him reckless, you can call him brainless, and it's true, that there are a lot of little flaws in him. But other than that, Harry doesn't really have any faults.
On the contrary, he has a lot of good qualities.
He has courage, he has a sense of justice, he can fight with all his might for his friends, and he has a tenacious will that will not be shaken by anything once he has decided on something.
"Ugh!" Andy sighed.
These ... are things that I can't do anymore.
Those decades of life in his previous life were not fake, and after experiencing the toxic treatment of society, Andy had lost the childish innocence he once had, and could never get it back.
It is often said that a man will be a child until he dies.
But child mentality and childish innocence are actually two different things.
Andy wasn't that pure.
"Ugh!"
Harry suddenly let out a low growl and made a forward lunge at Ron.
"Ron!"
Harry shouted and started rummaging through Ron's body.
"Harry Potter-"
Voldemort's voice sounded as if he was in a bit of a hurry, "Don't trust Collins, if you find that thing, Weasley will absolutely be dead."
Voldemort didn't believe that Andy could destroy the Horcrux, but Dumbledore was still at Hogwarts, and destroying the Horcrux would be simple once Dumbledore arrived.
Harry is not swayed at all.
If I don't believe Andy, do I have to believe you?
Quickly, Harry rummaged through Ron's body and found a woman's crown, "Andy, is this it?"
"Throw it out!" Andy shouted.
"Catch it!" Harry used all his strength and threw the crown hard towards Andy.
Clink!
The crown fell to a position two metres in front of Andy.
"This is the diadem of ... Ravenclaw?" Andy raised his eyebrows.
This guy, Voldemort, is way too wasteful, isn't he?
This was an antique!
"Andy Collins-"
Voldemort shouted, "Join hands with me or Dumbledore won't let you go."
Andy rolled his eyes.
You're quite self-aware, aren't you? If I join hands with you, Dumbledore will indeed not let me go.
With a wave of his wand, a wisp of Fiendfyre sparked ten centimetres in front of the tip of the wand.
"A Fiendfyre Curse!?"
Voldemort panicked a little, "If you kill me, Weasley will be completely dead and those people won't survive either!"
Andy sighed as he controlled the Fiendfyre to burn the Horcrux, "Voldemort! How can I put it nicely? In fact, when you were stopped by me, you already had no way to live."
"Even if we can't beat you, Hogwarts still has Dumbledore!"
"As the Dark Lord, you should die with dignity."
Boom--
Fiendfyre ignited the diadem.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"
Miserable screams rang out as the Horcrux and the soul fragment of Voldemort were completely destroyed under the flames of the Fiendfyre.
"Whew..."
Andy sighed in relief, it was done!
"Harry, can you hold on?" Andy asked.
"Hoo-hoo! I'm, I'm alright." Harry slumped to the ground as he lost his strength.
Andy walked over and checked Ron's state.
Harry struggled to sit up as well.
"His complexion has recovered, and he's not hurt."
Andy guessed, "In a little while, he will probably wake up. The other two students who had their life force drained should be recovering soon as well."
Harry was relieved to hear that.
"Right!"
Harry asked curiously, "Was that Voldemort just now?"
"Ah! It was a dark magic item made by Voldemort." Andy didn't know how to explain the Horcrux to Harry, and could only choose to be vague.
Harry nodded and didn't pursue the matter any further.
He hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked, "Andy, that Multi-Dimensional Being you mentioned before ..."
"What?" Andy asked rhetorically, looking at Harry.
"Nothing!"
Harry tangled for a moment, "It just feels like you're pretty awesome."
"Ha! I was lying to Voldemort before."
Andy spread his hands, "Originally, I was just trying to stall for time, but Headmaster Dumbledore never showed up."
The old headmaster was also too dilly-dallying.
Of course, Andy knew in his heart that Dumbledore never showed up, because he actually wanted Harry to experience the feeling of confronting Voldemort head-on.
This kind of behaviour of arranging other people's lives was actually distasteful.
But Andy had to admit that Dumbledore's approach was right.
"I was delayed by a little thing."
Dumbledore suddenly arrived, "Collins, you guys did a great job. Harry, you acted bravely as well."
"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry looked elated.
Andy asked curiously, "Headmaster, who's the other guy?"
To be honest, Andy was quite curious.
From Halloween to today, a month has passed, and Andy has investigated for a month.
The result was nothing.
Even the suspect was not pinpointed.
"It's Ron's brother, Percy Weasley," Dumbledore said seriously.
"It's him?" Andy raised an eyebrow.
To be honest, Andy had suspected him and even probed him, but found nothing.
Dumbledore said in a deep voice, "What dark wizards are best at is bewitching and deceiving others. Voldemort is especially good at it."
Bewitching people? Deceiving others?
Voldemort?
Voldemort had indeed been bewitching Andy and Harry tonight, and as a result, both Andy and Harry were unfazed.
To be honest, Andy didn't think Voldemort could fool anyone.
He was too stupid!
Seemingly seeing the doubt in Andy's mind, Dumbledore explained, "The reason why you and Harry can firmly adhere to your will is because of the justice in your hearts, and also because you have recognised Voldemort's true face."
"But you have to realise that just the name 'Voldemort' is enough to win a lot of people over."
"Just like Harry trusted you before."
Andy glanced at Dumbledore, this awful old man, sure enough, he had been peeking in from the sidelines.
But Andy did understand what Dumbledore meant.
Outstanding people usually can gain the trust of others more easily.
Famous quotes were like that, you had to be famous before your words could become quotes.
Voldemort was the Dark Lord, after all, and there were quite a few people who wanted to get favours from him.
It's worth the gamble!
