Chapter 73 Your Ambition Cannot Be Hidden

Single, single curse?

Is there such a curse in Hogwarts?

How come I don't know?

Dumbledore has lived for more than a hundred years and has experienced countless storms in his life. Almost nothing can move him, unless he can't help it.

I suspect you are implying something.

Dumbledore looked at Andy and said with a smile: "Where did you hear this rumor? There is no such curse in Hogwarts."

Is that so?

Andy looked innocent.

In order to investigate the curse, Andy has already found out.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class does have a new professor every year. No matter how careful and cautious they are, the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class will have trouble every year.

Minor troubles, medium injuries, and even death.

Not only that, Andy also investigated the marriage status of other professors in Hogwarts.

In short, the results are not very good.

Single, widowed... The reasons are different, but the results are roughly the same.

Or like Dumbledore and Snape, they are single because they can't find a partner. Or like Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout, married but widowed.

This is simply a tragedy.

Since Dumbledore has admitted that there is indeed a curse in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, what about Hogwarts?

Andy decided to remind him implicitly, "Principal, think about yourself, Professor Snape, Professor McGonagall, Professor Flitwick..."

Andy named the professors of Hogwarts one by one, and then asked, "Principal, the professors in the school are either single or widowed. Haven't you investigated the inside story?"

Dumbledore: "..."

Andy would have said nothing, but after hearing what Andy said, Dumbledore suddenly realized that the professors of Hogwarts were too miserable!

Either single or widowed.

From the headmaster Dumbledore to the administrators Hagrid and Filch, no one in the school can live with their other half until old age.

Tragedy!

"There is no curse in Hogwarts. As for the situation you mentioned..."

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, "Everyone has a different lifestyle and pursues different dreams. We cannot ask everyone to marry and have children. That is the standard that the world sets for life, but it is not necessarily suitable for everyone."

Andy: "..."

Can this excuse deceive people?

Andy did not dwell on this question any more, "Principal, how did Voldemort curse the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

Dumbledore felt a little relieved when he heard Andy call him 'Voldemort' instead of calling him 'Your Majesty' like others did.

Voldemort has disappeared for ten years, but the magic world is still afraid of him and dare not call him by his name.

It has to be said that this is also a kind of sadness.

Even the professor in the school-Snape still calls him the Dark Lord, while other professors call him the Mysterious Man.

If they dare not even call him by his name, how many people will have the courage to fight him once Voldemort is resurrected?

"I don't know either."

Dumbledore explained: "As far as I know, Voldemort is a descendant of Slytherin. Maybe he used some kind of blood magic!"

How could you not know?

Andy was puzzled.

As if he saw Andy's doubt, Dumbledore chuckled and said: "I am not omniscient. There are still many secrets in this world that I don't know."

Andy shrugged and asked tentatively: "Principal, you tonight...?"

Dumbledore blinked, "You should have guessed it, right?"

"I don't understand!"

Andy pretended to know nothing about everything, "Since the Philosopher's Stone will bring danger, why do you still bring it into the school?"

"Is it for Harry?"

Andy guessed: "You asked Hagrid to take Harry to Gringotts to get the Philosopher's Stone. Do you want Harry to do something?"

Dumbledore was a little surprised, "I have to say, you are a very perceptive little wizard, Mr. Collins."

Andy asked in confusion: "Is there anything special about Quirrell?"

Dumbledore looked at Andy.

Although he is proficient in Legilimency, he will not abuse his ability. But at this moment, he is really curious about what is going on in the mind of this little wizard in front of him.

But Dumbledore finally restrained himself.

Many people are complicated, and so is Dumbledore. But the reason why he is respected is that he can strictly stick to his bottom line.

"Since you have guessed all this, you should be able to guess my intention, right?" Dumbledore's tone is still calm, but there is a hint of complexity in his eyes.

"Hiss--"

Andy took a breath.

"No way!"

Andy showed a look of shock and said in shock: "Could it be that Voldemort... is still alive?"

Thanks to his family, in order to pretend to be a normal child in front of them, Andy acted for eleven years.

If it was the first few years of crossing, Andy would definitely reveal his flaws at this moment.

"Yes!"

Dumbledore sighed, "Unfortunately, he did not die that night ten years ago."

Andy spread his hands and said, "Okay, I know!"

Dumbledore looked at Andy, "Even though Voldemort has disappeared for ten years, many people are still afraid of him and dare not mention his name."

But Andy not only called Voldemort by his name, but even when he heard the news that ‘Voldemort is still alive’, he was only surprised for a moment, and soon calmed down.

Dumbledore felt that the little wizard in front of him was a little abnormally calm.

“As long as it’s not the end of the world, life will go on.”

Andy decided to pretend to be big and show his presence in front of Dumbledore, “Besides, I never think I’m inferior to Voldemort.”

If it were someone else who said this... well, other people wouldn’t say this at all.

Dumbledore almost immediately believed Andy’s words.

When he first met Andy, Dumbledore saw that the little wizard in front of him had the ambition to surpass himself.

This ambition can’t be hidden at all.

For Dumbledore, this is actually a good thing.

He is old, but the magic world still needs someone to protect him.

As long as Andy’s mind is not affected by the dark magic, some minor problems are harmless.

Everyone is complicated, and the human heart is not just justice and evil, it is multifaceted and unfathomable.

Even Dumbledore is the same.

Dumbledore never considered himself a saint, and his heart was also complicated, but he could strictly abide by his bottom line and never abuse his magic and influence.

But black magic is different.

Dumbledore has seen many excellent wizards being led into the abyss by black magic.

It's okay to just try it, but once you delve into black magic, the temptation to the soul is definitely not something that willpower can resist.
