"Erm ... It's not that big a deal."
Andy explained, "That happened last term. I was the one who initiated the spar, we exchanged a couple of moves, and he suppressed me at the time."
"I have to say one more thing, at that time I hadn't mastered the Patronus Charm yet. If it was two against one, I think we could have tied."
Ron had an envious look on his face, "That's cool~ man. Do you think the four of us can beat Snape when we join forces?"
Andy raised an eyebrow, "Wanna try?"
Harry said with an excited face, "Let's try it."
There was no doubt that Harry was the sporty type who was interested in both Quidditch and Dueling. Hearing Andy propose a duel, Harry was undoubtedly the most excited one.
"Come on, let's go to the sixth floor."
Andy said, "I know a very hidden classroom."
Hogwarts had a long lunch break, and Andy didn't mind playing a game or two with Harry to see the level of strength of the Saviour.
Especially, the power of 'love' that flowed through Harry's blood.
This included Harry himself, who Andy was also very interested in.
As early as the first year, Andy had already analysed Harry's power.
There was no doubt that Harry was a standard Gryffindor. You could find all the strengths that belonged to a Gryffindor in him, as well as all the weaknesses that belonged to a Gryffindor.
In Andy's judgement, Harry was one of those wizards with extremely high [Mind] and [Will] attributes.
The one with very low [Thinking], maybe only two points.
A group of four people walked towards the sixth floor of the castle with great vigour.
Hermione pulled Andy behind Harry and Ron and whispered, "Andy, I just almost thought you were possessed by Lockhart."
Andy: "..."
"I have to let them know the danger."
Andy explained in a low voice, "Snape is not the same as he used to be, and there's a good chance he'll be forced to do something."
Hermione nodded with a knowing look, "If that's the case ... then what do you want to do?"
Andy let out a low chuckle, "Just a direct fight."
Hermione looked puzzled.
Andy was certainly not one to show off, especially when the object of the showing off was still two thirteen-year-olds.
Andy had only one purpose for this act.
Seeing Harry's power, as well as making them recognise the difference in strength, were nothing more than add-ons.
Hermione had reminded Andy of this before.
Andy wanted to investigate the secret of the Deathly Hallows, but Dumbledore was a hurdle that could not be overcome - because Andy couldn't snatch the Elder Wand from Dumbledore's hands.
Because of this, brushing Dumbledore's goodwill becomes necessary.
As long as Dumbledore's goodwill was brushed up, then whether it was the secret of 'love' or the secret of the 'Deathly Hallows', Andy could get some clues from Dumbledore.
As for Harry and Ron ...
After today, it is one big road, each going their own way, and no one should interfere with anyone.
Soon, the group of four arrived at the abandoned classroom on the sixth floor of the castle. Andy waved his wand, and while locking the classroom door, he also added an Imperturbable Charm in the process.
"I used to practice magic here, but it's a bit small, so I switched to a different place later."
Andy briefly introduced the classroom before standing in the centre of the classroom, "Which one of you will go first?"
Ron had a bitter look on his face.
His wand had broken into two sections, and although the middle of the wand was wrapped with magic tape, every time he cast a spell it worked on and off, and sometimes it would rebound the spell.
This kind of wand is obviously not suitable for duelling.
Harry took out his wand and stood across from Andy with an excited face, "I'll try it first."
"OK!" Andy replied.
Harry pointed his wand at Andy, recalling the spells he had learnt in his head, he was going to try the Full Body-Bind Curse first.
"Petrificus ..."
Before Harry could finish reciting the incantation, he saw Andy pointing at him with his wand in his left hand and waving his right hand so strongly that the wand in Harry's hand flew out of his hand.
Harry: "..."
Ron's mouth widened in shock.
Hermione raised an eyebrow and gave a look that said it all.
Harry was about to rush over and pick up his wand when he saw Andy's right hand suddenly move, and Harry's hands were immediately bound behind him by an invisible force, unable to move in the slightest.
"Victory and defeat have been decided." Andy shrugged and waved his wand to unbind Harry.
"Merlin ... you are kidding, right?" Ron said with a shocked look on his face.
Although he had always known that Andy was very powerful, he didn't think that Andy would surpass them by too much. But judging from the exchange just now, Harry couldn't even block Andy's casual magic spell.
"Snape is more powerful than me."
Andy said indifferently, "Now you know how dangerous your situation is, right?"
Harry picked up his wand with a bitter look on his face, he thought he was pretty good for a while, but he didn't expect ...
"Andy, how do you usually practice magic?" Harry asked curiously.
"Practise over and over and over again. If you want to get stronger, you should try it too. Accuracy, speed of casting spells ... these can all be strengthened through training."
Andy waved his wand to open the door of the classroom, "Alright, we have class in the afternoon. Remember, we're just watching, we should never do anything rash."
After one last reminder, Andy walked out of the classroom with Hermione.
"Andy, what next?" Hermione asked.
"Let's wait and see what happens first!"
Andy thought for a moment, "I'll go find Headmaster Dumbledore in a few days to get some information. No matter what, we need to at least know if Voldemort has returned to the British magic world."
Andy felt that with today's episode, Dumbledore would at least be able to tell him some more important secrets.
In addition to the information about Voldemort's whereabouts, Andy also wanted to ask about the power of 'love' and the changes in the patronus.
If possible, he hoped to ask Dumbledore's opinion about the gods in passing.
No matter what, Andy had helped him train Harry.
It'd add up to 20 goodwill no matter what, wouldn't it?
Then I will nag for 20 points!
"Ugh!"
Hermione suddenly sighed, "I always feel like the next few years won't be peaceful."
"It's kind of a rare experience!"
Andy laughed, "An opponent like Voldemort probably won't be around much longer. I'm actually kind of looking forward to ... the showdown with the Dark Lord."
The young witch suddenly turned her head to look at Andy.
"What's wrong?" Andy blinked.
"Well ..."
Hermione deliberated for a moment, "Andy, do you think there would be a possibility? That we fight Voldemort together now, and later ... we fight you together?"
Andy: "..."
"What's on your mind?"
Andy did not take it well and said, "I am a good member of the magic world, law-abiding, peaceful and friendly ... I will not become the Dark Lord."
