Chapter 274: Night Tour, Encounter in the Corridor

Without comparison, there is no harm.

In order to preserve his dignity as a professor, Professor Leddy ignored Andy and randomly called two young wizards to the stage for demonstration.

Andy looked helpless.

Why is it so difficult for me to pretend to be cool?

…

Time passed, and it was almost the end of November.

During this period, Hogwarts regained its peace. For more than ten days, there was no attack in the castle.

Although the young wizards were still a little scared, they were no longer as panicked as they were more than ten days ago.

There were also many more laughters in the castle.

"The calm before the storm!"

In the dormitory, Andy stood by the window and stared at the moonlight, frowning, and feeling a little depressed.

The more you know, the more troubles you will have.

In more than twenty days, it will be the Christmas holiday. Whether it is Dumbledore or Voldemort's Horcrux, they all know that the decisive battle is approaching.

But Andy still hasn't figured out how Dumbledore will control Harry to face Voldemort head-on.

——Harry has gone further and further in the wrong direction.

During this period, Andy did not give up the investigation.

Andy tried several suspects and occasionally stared at people around Harry, but he never found any useful clues.

Voldemort's Horcrux is hidden very deeply!

Not only that, Andy did not receive any letters from Voldemort during this period. He seemed to have given up trying to win over Andy and disappeared completely.

At this point, Andy has no choice but to wait for Voldemort to make a move and then deal with it.

Sometimes Andy would hesitate, always thinking about forgetting it!

He really didn't need to fight Voldemort to death.

But this time is really a great opportunity for actual combat, and Andy doesn't want to miss it.

The opponent is Voldemort's soul fragment, the battlefield is in Hogwarts, Dumbledore is behind him, and his teammates are Harry, Voldemort's nemesis.

The right time, the right place, and the right people!

Dumbledore wanted to take this opportunity to train Harry, but this opportunity was also a test for Andy.

Andy opened the system panel.

[Potential Points: 3]

After this period of hard training, Andy has accumulated three [Potential Points]. At this moment, Andy only needs to think about it to increase the [Will] attribute to [3] points.

But if Andy can break through the psychological barrier with his own strength, the [Will] attribute may naturally increase to [3] points.

In this way, Andy only needs to add one more [Potential Point] to increase the [Will] attribute to [4] points.

If [Thinking] and [Will] reach [4] points at the same time, plus [5] points of [Transfiguration], the danger of practicing Animagus will be minimized.

"Alas!" Andy sighed.

Still not strong-minded!

Looking back at the three roommates who had fallen asleep, Andy changed into a wizard robe and walked out of the dormitory alone.

Originally, Andy thought he had made up his mind.

But when the [Potential Points] reached [3], Andy still hesitated.

"It's something that can be easily solved by adding points, but I have to risk my life. Isn't this asking for trouble?"

Walking aimlessly in the dark corridor, Andy laughed at himself.

He was still too afraid of death.

Ta!

A barely audible sound was very clear in the silent corridor.

"Huh?" Andy immediately became alert.

Waving his wand to cast the Disillusionment Spell, Andy stood in the shadow in the corner of the corridor, hiding himself completely.

It's so late, who could it be?

Andy held the wand tightly in his right hand and stared at the direction where the sound came from.

Ta da da——

The footsteps were getting closer and clearer.

At the staircase leading from the seventh floor to the eighth floor, a dark figure slowly appeared.

Andy did not stare at the person who came, but quickly raised his head and glanced at the other person.

It was a pity that the other person was hiding in the shadows, and Andy did not see the other person's appearance clearly.

"Who could it be?" Andy thought to himself.

Ta-da-da——

The man didn't seem to mind being exposed. In the dark, his footsteps were very clear.

When he passed Andy, Andy stole a glance at him again.

"Is it him?" Andy was shocked.

Andy never thought that the person who came out alone at 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 the second time Ron was controlled by someone.

No, Andy only discovered it twice. Ron might have been controlled by someone without Andy knowing.

Andy quickly analyzed in his mind, "Ron has met Dumbledore. At that time, Dumbledore should have lifted the magic that controlled Ron."

"So... are you here to monitor Harry? Or is it because it's easier to get close to Ron?"

Ron walked past Andy as if nothing had happened.

"Is this road... back to the dormitory?" Andy thought to himself.

No, that's not right!

Andy suddenly came to his senses.

Even if Voldemort's Horcrux was very interested in Harry, it has been almost a month, and Voldemort should have known what kind of person Harry was.

There is one more thing...

Ron was wandering around the castle at night so carelessly, the portraits and ghosts should have discovered him long ago.

Plus the gatekeeper in the Gryffindor common room is a portrait of a fat woman.

"Abandoned son?" Andy was a little surprised.

Andy touched the potion in his pocket.

The Veritaserum specially prepared 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 magical beam flashed, and Ron fell to the ground and passed out.

"Um……"

Andy looked around, then dragged Ron into an empty classroom.

"Let me see what secrets you have!"

Andy took out the Veritaserum, opened Ron's mouth, and poured a sip into it.

After thinking about it, Andy waved his wand again, conjuring a rope to trap Ron tightly and make him face away from him.

"The curse stops immediately!"

Andy lifted the effects of the coma spell.

"Well……"

Ron groaned softly and shook his head to wake himself up. Just as he was about to get up, Ron suddenly realized that he had been tied up.

"Who is it?" Ron shouted.

This is definitely not Ron's nature.

Andy knew Ron fairly well. If it was the real Ron, he would be scared to death by this time.

But the Weasley family tradition and the sense of justice in his heart made Ron grit his teeth and persevere.

"Who controlled you?" Andy asked, his voice changing.

"I don't know!" Ron replied.

Andy was silent for a moment after hearing this.

have no idea…?

This shows that Ron was really controlled by someone, but he just didn't see the appearance of the murderer clearly.
