Chapter 277: Decisive and Cold-Blooded Andy
"Ron!!"
Harry was startled by the sudden change.
Harry never thought that in the middle of the night, in addition to himself, Ron, and Filch who was chasing behind him, there was actually a fourth person present.
And this person attacked Ron for no reason.
Fortunately, the explosion was still some distance away from Ron, and Ron was just knocked away by the shock wave of the explosion, and it seemed that he was not seriously injured.
Andy showed up, waved his wand again, and the dead branches on the ground turned into ropes to tie Ron tightly.
"Andy! Is it you?" Harry was shocked.
"Harry!" Andy nodded to Harry, and then looked at Ron cautiously, holding the wand, and slowly approached Ron step by step.
"What, what is going on?" Harry asked in shock.
He looked at Ron, "How is Ron?"
Andy did not answer, and in a few steps, he had walked within ten meters of Ron.
Ron was tied to the ground like a caterpillar. He tilted his head awkwardly, staring at Andy with his blue eyes.
"Andy Collins..." Ron made a creepy sound.
"Ron!"
Harry was horrified. He ran to Andy and looked at Ron in panic, "Andy, is Ron controlled by someone?"
"It seems so!" Andy nodded and did not approach Ron.
"What should we do now?" Harry asked anxiously.
"Huff huff!"
Filch ran over breathlessly, his face full of excitement, as if he had done something amazing, "Haha, look who I caught? Potter, Weasley, and the famous Collins."
Andy: "..."
Shouldn't it be the famous Harry Potter?
And are you sure you caught us?
Filch glanced at Ron who was lying on the ground. His face became more excited, and a hideous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Are you fighting? I will definitely suggest Dumbledore to lock you three in the basement. There are many fun toys there."
"Gudong!"
Harry swallowed his saliva and stammered to explain: "Ron was controlled by someone. We did this to save Ron!"
Filch grinned, "You can explain these reasons to Dumbledore and see if he believes what you say. I only see that you controlled him."
As Filch spoke, he walked towards Ron, apparently trying to untie the ropes on Ron.
"Andy?" Harry looked at Andy at a loss.
Although Ron was controlled by someone, he was his friend. Although Filch was annoying, he was a faculty member of Hogwarts.
When faced with such a situation, the protagonist of justice usually has no way out.
"Don't worry, let's see first." Andy was unmoved.
If Ron was just controlled by the Imperius Curse, then Filch would not be in any danger.
But if it was Voldemort's Horcrux that controlled Ron... then it would be a good idea to let Filch go and take a risk.
As for whether Filch could rescue Ron... Andy didn't think a Squib could do such a thing.
Seeing Harry standing aside like a minion, Andy couldn't help but remind him, "Harry, take out your wand."
"Uh... OK!" Harry took out his wand.
The quality of the young wizards of this class is really poor. They don't even know to take out their wands when they encounter a crisis.
Filch walked to Ron and fiddled with the rope on Ron's body.
It was transformed by Transfiguration. The whole rope was integrated and there was no so-called knot at all.
It couldn't be untied.
"Collins, remove your magic!" Filch said.
Harry quickly turned his head and looked at Andy.
Ron's situation was unclear now, and he didn't want Andy to remove the magic. But Filch was a faculty member of the school, and they couldn't refuse Filch's order.
Andy didn't even look at Filch, but stared at Ron's eyes, his brain occlusion was running at full speed, and he said lightly: "What if I don't solve it?"
Ron didn't say anything, Filch suddenly stood up, looked at Andy with a ferocious face, and said in a sharp voice, "Collins, remove your magic, otherwise I will let Dumbledore kick you out of Hogwarts."
Andy pointed the wand in his hand, and a bright white magic beam shot out instantly. Filch flew more than three meters away and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Andy!" Harry opened his mouth wide and looked at Andy in shock.
You attacked the teacher...Okay, Filch is just a janitor.
But...
That's a Hogwarts employee.
Just ask, which student dares to attack the school staff?
Andy glanced at Harry, "As long as you don't say it, no one will know."
"Of course I won't say it." In this regard, Harry has always been very loyal.
"Andy, what about Ron?" Harry continued to ask.
After seeing Filch's reaction just now, Andy has basically confirmed one thing - Voldemort's Horcrux is on Ron.
Andy looked back in the direction of the castle.
If nothing unexpected happens, there will be another person to hold Dumbledore back tonight.
That was the original owner of the Horcrux, but now he should have been controlled by the Imperius Curse.
"Andy Collins..."
Ron stared at Andy, his voice was hoarse, completely different from his usual Ron, "You should have been in that laboratory, right?"
"You are not a descendant of Slytherin, but you were able to find that place. I have to say that you are a very good little wizard."
Harry shouted, "Ron, what's wrong with you?"
Andy said calmly, "Voldemort, stop pretending?"
"Voldemort!?" Harry looked at Ron in shock.
"You are very decisive!"
Ron, or rather, Voldemort's soul fragment said, "Dumbledore has been led away by me. That guy is already confused and it is easy to deceive him."
"Your appearance is actually a pleasant surprise."
Voldemort's Horcrux continued, "It is because of your appearance that Dumbledore can take care of the other side with peace of mind."
I see!
Andy raised his eyebrows and said, "But you still miscalculated."
Just like Voldemort said, Andy was too decisive.
Andy didn't care about hurting Ron at all, let alone Filch.
After discovering the abnormality, Andy immediately took action.
If Andy did not dare to take action because of the fear of hurting Ron, Ron would have already run into the Forbidden Forest.
In that case, Voldemort could control Ron to Apparate at any time.
Not only that, after discovering Ron's abnormality, Andy even asked Filch to go over and test the minefield, in order to determine whether it was the Imperius Curse or Voldemort's Horcrux that controlled Ron.
