Chapter 276 Could It Be that the Horcrux Has Already Been Transferred?
"Meow~" came a cat's meow.
Andy actually heard a sense of excitement from the meow.
As expected of Filch’s cat!
Now that Mrs. Norris is here, it means...
Filch arrived at the battlefield in thirty seconds.
Andy had already heard the sound of footsteps, which was the sound of Filch running at a speed of about seventy miles.
"Ron!" Harry yelled in panic, then put on the invisibility cloak again, hiding his figure.
This teammate's selling is really wonderful.
Ron, Harry, and Andy quickly ran to the first floor of the castle, one after the other.
At this time, the castle door was locked.
Ron turned into a corridor. The window at the end of the corridor was open, and Ron jumped out.
"Ron!!"
Harry leaned against the window and shouted. Seeing that Ron didn't stop, he followed him out.
Tsk!
Andy suddenly realized that Harry's behavior seemed reckless, but there was actually wisdom in it.
Something was clearly off about Ron.
Based on what happened last time, Harry should have concluded that Ron was controlled by the Imperius Curse.
Harry shouted, obviously trying to alert the professor.
It would be too stupid to worry about whether to deduct points or not at this time.
Andy followed and turned out.
Ron ran at the front, in this direction...
"Forbidden Forest!"
Andy did not run, but slowed down and followed the two of them silently.
Andy still remembered that Voldemort had written to him anonymously, asking him to attack anyone at random, and then put him in the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.
And Ron was only under the Imperius Curse, he was not the one controlled by the Horcrux.
On top of that, Ron had been wandering the castle at night for three days before he lured Harry out.
There are various indications that Ron should be just a pawn to attract Dumbledore's attention.
"Is it possible to apparate in the Forbidden Forest?"
"If a Horcrux wants to escape from Hogwarts, it should be easy. He only needs to enter the Forbidden Forest and use Apparition to leave here."
"Even if he will be tracked, the Horcrux has absorbed the life force of two people. He has the power to control one person and transfer the Horcrux."
Andy frowned slightly and quickly thought of the crux of the problem.
The reason why the Horcrux failed to leave the Forbidden Forest was probably because Dumbledore was watching the Forbidden Forest.
Dumbledore's brother stared at Hogsmeade, while Dumbledore himself stared at Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.
In this way, Voldemort could only stay in the castle obediently.
"hiss--"
Andy suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Dumbledore kept an eye on the Forbidden Forest, so Voldemort's Horcruxes could not leave the Forbidden Forest.
But judging from Dumbledore's various behaviors, he actually wanted to use this incident to train Harry.
Can Voldemort discover this?
The soul fragment in the Horcrux should be that of Voldemort, who was around thirty years old. Voldemort during this period was not that crazy, and his thoughts should be very mature and rational.
If he knew...
"Is the Horcrux already in Ron's hands?" Andy thought with a shocked look on his face.
Andy has always had a thinking limitation.
That is, the Horcrux controlled another person, and Ron was just controlled by the Imperius Curse.
But what if Voldemort's purpose of doing this was to transfer the Horcrux?
Based on this logic, many things can be explained.
Voldemort controlled Ron for the first time, seemingly to win over Andy, or to frame Andy. But in reality, he wanted to let Dumbledore know that he controlled Ron.
So Voldemort only won over Andy once.
Because Voldemort knew that Andy would not take advantage of him, and he also knew that Andy would tell Dumbledore about this.
Andy had been wondering before why Voldemort wanted to control Ron to touch him instead of anyone else.
As Harry's best friend, Ron is actually very conspicuous.
But if you look at it from another perspective, Ron is an excellent pawn to divert everyone's attention.
Because he is Harry's best friend.
As long as Ron is controlled, Harry can be lured out.
And Dumbledore wanted to use this incident to train Harry.
This gave Voldemort an opportunity.
Ron wandered around the castle for three days in a row before luring Harry out. During those three days, Ron went on a night tour with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that others would not know.
Putting Ron on the bright side made everyone think that Ron was just a pawn to attract attention, while the Horcrux was still hidden in the dark.
There is no doubt that as long as there are two people acting together tonight, Ron in the light and the other in the dark, then Dumbledore will definitely keep an eye on the one hiding in the dark.
But Horcruxes can be transferred!
With the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade being tightly guarded, Voldemort could only enter the Forbidden Forest by taking Harry with him.
Because Dumbledore wanted Harry to face Voldemort.
"Um……"
Andy pondered in his heart and analyzed secretly: "This reason does make sense."
As long as the Horcrux controls Ron into the Forbidden Forest, he can apparate at any time. And he also lured Harry there, so he still had a chance to kill Harry before disapparating.
"Weasley——"
Just as Andy was reviewing the situation, Filch had already chased to the window on the first floor.
He looked at Ron's back with a gloomy look and a grim smile, as if he saw a lamb to be slaughtered.
Filch struggled to climb over the window, holding an oil lamp in one hand, and chased Ron with a strange pace.
And the speed was not slow.
Andy also accelerated to catch up.
The castle was a distance away from the Forbidden Forest, and Andy was going to intercept Ron before the Forbidden Forest.
In any case, the soul fragments in the Horcrux already knew the name 'Andy Collins'.
So whether it was to train himself or to conceal his identity, Andy had to kill this Horcrux.
Last year, the reason why Andy didn't dare to be an enemy of Quirrell was that he was worried that Voldemort would find trouble with his family after resurrection.
And this Horcrux already knew Andy!
So he must die.
Because he knew too much.
"I have to exercise in the future." Andy thought to himself.
You don't know until you run, and you'll be shocked when you run.
Andy has always been focused on studying magic, unlike other little wizards who play around all day.
So Andy gained knowledge and neglected his body.
Before he ran a few steps, Andy felt a burden on his legs.
"I'm a wizard..." Andy complained.
Seeing that Ron had entered the range, Andy quickly raised his wand and pointed it at Ron.
"Thunder Explosion!"
Boom——
The violent explosion directly blew Ron away.
