Chapter 123 Andy: I Can Try Harder
In the evening, Kyle got home from get off work, and Andy and his family of four had a sumptuous dinner together.
"Andy, Dad is proud of you!"
Kyle was very excited when he saw Andy's report card, "I didn't expect that our Collins family would also have the hope of producing a great wizard."
"Thank you!" Andy said with a little pride.
In fact, in terms of the current situation of the magic world, the level of strength is not valued by the mainstream society.
In peacetime, gold galleons and interpersonal relationships can help you get to a high position. Even as strong as Dumbledore, he has to obey Fudge's orders in this land of the British magic world.
However, there are also advantages to being strong.
As long as you are not so rule-abiding, strong strength can also bring you everything.
Kyle was obviously very excited tonight.
Although he had long known Andy's fanatical attitude towards magic and Andy's magical talent. But when he really saw the results, Kyle was still very surprised.
"To be honest, the school exams can't show my true strength at all."
Andy continued: "After all, the difficulty of the exams is there, it's too easy for me. The reason why I can get an O grade is because the best grade is only O."
Helen: This kid didn't drink, how could he be so drunk.
"Haha!"
Kyle drank a glass of beer, patted Andy's back with a red face, "Well said! Those small exams are really too easy for you."
"You two have enough!"
Helen couldn't listen anymore, she looked at Andy and asked: "What's the matter with the attack in your school? I heard that the attacker is called Quirrell?"
Kyle looked confused, "Really? The Daily Prophet didn't seem to report it?"
Helen rolled her eyes: Three glasses of alcohol can't drink shit!
"His name is Quirrell."
Andy explained: "He was our professor before. He came to Hogwarts to teach in order to steal the Philosopher's Stone. But his teaching level was very poor, so we jointly kicked him out of the school..."
Andy briefly explained the whole story.
Helen's face looked a little bad after hearing this, "Why would Dumbledore put the Philosopher's Stone in school? This is too dangerous!"
Kyle sneered, "I told you a long time ago that Dumbledore is not a good guy. You-Know-Who has been wreaking havoc in the magic world for so many years. Do you think Dumbledore has ever intervened?"
"If I hadn't dragged you to France, you might have died in the hands of the Death Eaters."
Helen rolled her eyes when she heard this, "Some things have to be done by someone. If everyone gave up resistance, You-Know-Who would have ruled the magic world long ago."
Kyle said disdainfully, "The reason why You-Know-Who's power is so rampant is because of his invincible strength. Even if Dumbledore had an open duel with him once, You-Know-Who wouldn't have been able to win over so many people."
Isabelle looked up at Kyle, then turned to look at Helen, then silently lowered her head and ate obediently.
Am I allowed to listen to these words?
"Mom, I thought you went to France voluntarily at the beginning." Andy said with a little surprise.
Helen didn't say anything when she heard this.
She was forced to go there by Kyle, but she could be considered to have gone there voluntarily.
But Helen was a Gryffindor after all. When she left, many of her classmates and friends died in the battle, and the rest of them lost contact.
Kyle patted Andy on the shoulder and said in a serious tone: "Andy, remember, Dumbledore is too high. I'm not saying he's a bad guy. In fact, people like him can't be judged simply by good or bad."
"In short, don't believe him."
Andy shrugged casually, "Don't worry! Through some things this year, I have seen a little bit more clearly."
"You are a sensible child." Kyle looked relieved.
Helen didn't refute Kyle's words.
Obviously, after so many years of brainwashing, although Helen still has some Gryffindor characteristics, she will not be like those reckless men with only one mind in her brain.
After dinner, the family talked in the living room again.
Andy talked about some interesting things in school, and Helen and Kyle also talked about some of their past school days.
Isabel just listened with a longing look on her face.
It's so good to go to school.
...
There is no TV to watch in the magic world. At around nine o'clock in the evening, Andy took a bath and lay on the bed in pajamas.
The conversation at dinner was the first time that Helen and Kyle expressed their views on Dumbledore in front of Andy.
Andy was also a little surprised.
Dumbledore still has a good reputation in the magic world and has a great influence. He has many admirers, and many people are willing to die for him.
But Kyle said something very right. Dumbledore's character cannot be judged by simply good or bad.
In order to get rid of Voldemort, Dumbledore can sacrifice anyone, including himself.
Such a person is undoubtedly terrible.
"Ha——"
Andy yawned.
In fact, Andy didn't understand. The reason why Kyle said that tonight was simply because he was worried that he would be influenced by Dumbledore.
The conflict between Dumbledore and Fudge had already begun to emerge. Kyle worked in the Ministry of Magic, so he could naturally feel this more clearly.
In addition, Kyle had a lot of opinions about Dumbledore, so he naturally didn't want his children to join Dumbledore's camp.
"What a pity, Voldemort is about to be resurrected!"
Andy sighed and closed his eyes to prepare for sleep.
Although it is necessary to stay away from Dumbledore, Andy is just a small figure now. Compared with these, how to keep his family alive in the future war is the most important thing.
...
In the next two days, Andy accompanied Isabel to have a good time.
The third day of the holiday.
Andy followed Helen into the potion room, "Mom, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Can you make a joy potion?" Helen asked.
"Isn't the Joy Potion a first-year course?"
Andy looked helpless, "I know the process of brewing the Joy Potion, and I've seen you make it. Well... it should be no problem."
Helen helped Andy prepare the crucible for brewing the potion, "Then why don't you try the Joy Potion? After deducting the cost of materials, the rest is your pocket money."
"But I've made it clear in advance that if you fail to brew the potion, the wasted materials will also be deducted from your pocket money."
"No problem!" Andy agreed immediately.
In a few days, he will meet Hermione, and Andy doesn't want to meet Hermione with an empty pocket.
Although free food is delicious, Andy feels that he can work harder.
