Andy glanced lightly at Helen.
I've heard that before in my past life, and I grew up hearing it.
You still want to fool me?
"Anyway, the money is in the Gringotts, and I have nothing to spend it on until I graduate. Mum, I'll just keep it by myself." Andy covered his small pocket tightly.
Helen rolled her eyes in annoyance at the words.
Isabel was also a little disappointed, if Helen could have tricked Andy out of his money, she might have been able to trick him a little too.
Pity!
A few people talked and laughed, and when Kyle returned from work, the family had dinner together.
"Andy, I heard there was another incident at Hogwarts?" Kyle asked as he looked at Andy at the dinner table.
"What happened?" Helen froze.
Helen didn't go out to work, so she wasn't very well-informed.
Kyle explained, "I've heard that many students have written home, and the rumour is that there was another attack at Hogwarts and two young wizards were injured."
Veronica frowned, "How come Hogwarts kept getting into trouble the past two years?"
Kyle took a sip of his beer and joked, "It's said out there that Dumbledore is getting old."
Veronica was a little worried, "There's been some unrest in the British magic world these past two years, even Azkaban was attacked a while ago, the newspaper claimed that it was the work of the remnants of the Death Eaters."
"Helen, I think it would be better to transfer Andy to another school. When Isa grows up, she'll go to a foreign magic school as well."
Helen was somewhat tempted by this.
The British magic world was indeed a bit unstable these two years.
Andy said with deliberation, "Actually, it's not that dangerous, it's just that there was a dark wizard who used a dark magic item to bewitch a young wizard, and it's already been resolved now."
After a pause, Andy added, "But we should consider sending Issa to the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic for her studies."
"I don't want to!" The little girl refused vocally.
But no one here would consider her opinion in such a situation.
Helen glared at Andy and said in dissatisfaction, "Andy, tell me the truth, what's going on? The dark wizard used a dark magic item to bewitch young wizards ... Then what is his purpose? It can't be to create chaos, right?"
"Also, I've never heard of any dark magic item being so powerful!"
Ah, this...!
Andy's brain spun, and he said, "It's probably to get back at Dumbledore! You know, that operation of the Ministry of Magic searching for dark magic items, although they didn't catch a few people, they created a lot of trouble ..."
Helen looked at Andy fixedly ... you go on.
Andy directly laid it out, "I'm just an ordinary second-year young wizard, so of course I believe whatever Dumbledore claims."
Helen snorted lightly at that.
Helen believed most of Andy's explanation.
She knew her own son well, Andy was not a person who liked to meddle in other people's business. No matter how big things happened at Hogwarts, as long as they didn't involve Andy, Andy would generally be too lazy to bother.
"Kyle, such important news, why didn't you tell me earlier." Helen changed the object of her fury.
Kyle took a sip of beer, probably a little on edge, "What's there to worry about? With Andy's strength, ordinary dark wizards can't hurt him."
Helen's countenance darkened!
Kyle continued, "Besides, am I not afraid of you worrying? Unless we pick up Andy and bring him back, even if we know the news, we can't do much to help."
Hogwarts was a place where even the Ministry of Magic could not easily intervene.
Norman said at this time, "The magic world has been calm for ten years or so, and it seems that there is going to be a big turmoil again. Alas! Some years ago the trouble was dark wizards, and in the past two years ... I think it was all caused by Death Eaters."
"Old man, what do you mean?" Veronica asked, in a hurry.
Norman let out a 'hey' and said, "Other than Death Eaters, who else dares to go to Hogwarts to cause trouble?"
When he said this, the faces of the four adults were a little bit gloomy.
The fact that Hogwarts and Azkaban suffered one accident after another did not seem like an omen of peace in any way.
Andy didn't interject, either.
It was good that his family could realise the danger, Voldemort was going to be resurrected in a few years, and realising that the situation was not peaceful earlier would also allow them to arrange a retreat earlier.
"Death Eaters ..."
Helen frowned, "The You-Know-Who have been dead for more than ten years, why are those Death Eaters who evaded trial causing trouble now instead of living a peaceful life?"
Who was organising them without Voldemort leading them?
Kyle analysed, "Maybe it's for profit! Those Purebloods have been bleeding a lot since the fall of the You-Know-Who, and we all know the reason for that."
"Undermining Dumbledore's prestige and creating some attacks might make Fudge switch over to them."
Andy listened to Kyle's analysis, it was a big deviation from the truth, but it made logical sense.
"Maybe You-Know-Who isn't dead!"
Andy prepared to give his family a heads-up, "Didn't You-Know-Who brag about it? He's gone further than anyone else in evading death."
Hearing Andy's words, Norman, Veronica, Kyle, and Helen collectively shuddered, even Isabel looked at Andy with a surprised expression.
Andy pretended to eat with his head down.
It was actually hard for people who hadn't experienced the Voldemort era to understand why everyone was so afraid of Voldemort.
But just imagine how ordinary people would feel when they faced the triads and terrorists, then you would probably be able to understand these people's fear of Voldemort
"Andy!"
Helen's voice was a little sharp, "Don't say such things outside."
"Of course!" Andy said with a raised eyebrow.
Kyle and Norman looked at each other, and then together they turned their heads to Andy, and the three of them nodded tacitly.
This was the tacit understanding that belonged to the Collins family.
It was time to get ready to run!
The serious topic came to an end, and the next few people chatted about some interesting topics, and the atmosphere at the table was finally improved.
"Right!"
Andy suddenly said, "Mum, during this time of holiday, can you teach me Apparition?"
"Apparition?"
Helen said with a straight face, "This is a very difficult magic, you are now ... well, I can teach it to you, but you must promise me that you will never practice or use Apparition alone until you are skilled."
Originally Helen wanted to refuse, but thinking about Andy's magic talent, learning Apparition in advance didn't seem to be a big deal.
"Of course, I promise!" Andy said.
Kyle reminded, "Even if you learn it, don't use it in front of outsiders. The matter of Trace can be handled easily, but once the matter of you learning Apparition in advance is discovered, the Ministry of Magic will investigate and hold you accountable."
"Understood!" Andy assured again.
Talking about magic, Helen suddenly grew a bit more interested, "Andy, I read in the newspaper that your Patronus can use magic? Quickly show us."
