Chapter 632 Cause and Effect

The flames dissipated, and when Andy could see his surroundings clearly, he found that he had arrived near a village.

Dumbledore stood before him.

"professor!"

Andy looked around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is this place? And...what happened tonight?"

Dumbledore looked towards the village not far away and invited, "Let's talk while we walk!"

"OK!" Andy naturally had no objection.

"After several failures, Voldemort began to doubt the people around him. He felt that someone was passing information to us."

Dumbledore said slowly: "There are two suspects, Snape... and Malfoy."

"Professor Snape was exposed?" Andy was a little surprised.

"Yes, he has been exposed on our side," said Dumbledore.

Andy: "..."

"So, I won't see Professor Snape next semester?" Andy asked.

"Voldemort gave Snape an order to lurk among us - I mean the Order of the Phoenix."

Dumbledore continued, "Of course, you cannot expect me to be such a fool as to be ignorant of Snape's actions."

"So I passed on false information to Voldemort through Snape and let Snape attend the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix."

Andy paused.

Meeting of the Order of the Phoenix... Andy remembered that Sirius and the others had been discussing how to prevent Voldemort from attacking the World Cup.

Did Voldemort know this?

So what about tonight's attack?

"And then?" Andy asked curiously.

"Collins, what Voldemort wants to do most right now is to kill you... and of course, me and Harry."

“But it’s not easy.”

Dumbledore said: "Voldemort believes that magic is power. When he loses this power, those who are loyal to him out of fear will be shaken."

"For example, those who caused chaos at the World Cup venues."

Andy: "..."

You've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't gotten to the point!

"Professor!" Andy urged.

"Don't worry, I'll get to it soon."

Dumbledore chuckled and continued, "Through Snape, Voldemort believed that we would set up defenses at both the World Cup venue and the Ministry of Magic."

“But that’s wrong.”

"When Snape reports this to Voldemort, he will also tell Voldemort: I doubt him, but I still let him attend the meeting of the Order of the Phoenix."

At this point, Dumbledore suddenly turned his head to look at Andy and said, "In fact, from the beginning, Voldemort had no intention of taking action."

Andy: "..."

Indeed! From the perspective of 'purpose', attacking the World Cup venue and the Ministry of Magic would not do Voldemort any good.

After thinking about it, Andy suddenly had a guess.

"You deliberately exposed Professor Snape in order to allow him to completely lurk around Voldemort?"

"And in order to verify the undercover agent around him, Voldemort planned tonight's action based on the false intelligence you provided?"

"But……"

At this point, Andy frowned.

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Collins, the impact of the battle at the Ministry of Magic will not only make you the greatest wizard of the next century."

Andy: "..."

Dumbledore looked at Andy and continued, "Voldemort is very nervous now... Collins, if we work together, we can capture Voldemort alive in an environment where Apparition is restricted."

"To do this, he must ensure that the people around him are loyal enough."

Andy suddenly understood.

Now the power balance between the two sides is unbalanced, and Voldemort is very afraid of death, so he must ensure his own safety.

Only when he was safe enough would Voldemort consider how to kill Andy and Dumbledore.

"So Voldemort attacked the Ministry of Magic?" Andy asked.

Lucius Malfoy had been imprisoned at the Ministry of Magic - unusual treatment for a Death Eater.

"Yes! And the person in charge of this operation is Snape."

Dumbledore said: "In order to ensure the safety of the World Cup venue, I must leave you there... because you are enough to deter the Death Eaters."

"I understand!" Andy said expressionlessly.

Andy can not only fight Voldemort head-on, but also be merciless to the Death Eaters. In this case, the Death Eaters will definitely be wary of Andy.

This evening's situation illustrates this point.

Dumbledore continued, "Snape led the Death Eaters into the Ministry of Magic... Of course, we were prepared."

"In order to protect Snape's identity, I had to expose Malfoy...their family is now under protection."

"Then Voldemort himself showed up, and I had a fight with him at the Ministry of Magic."

Andy: "..."

Why wasn't I there?

"How is Voldemort?" Andy asked curiously.

Looking at Dumbledore like this, we can tell that he is unharmed.

What about Voldemort? Is he hurt?

"He ran away."

Dumbledore seemed not to want to say more. He changed his topic and said, "Snape passed on a piece of information to me. He said that Voldemort seemed to have found a way to sneak into Hogwarts."

Andy: "..."

After the next semester starts, Hogwarts will definitely enter a state of full defense, and the entire campus will be shrouded in magic.

In this case, the normal way of entering Hogwarts is not possible.

but……

"He probably doesn't dare to come, right?" Andy raised his eyebrows.

You can't Apparate at Hogwarts.

If Voldemort dares to come, he will never leave.

Dumbledore winked at Andy, then stopped in front of a house. "This should be it."

"Where is this?" Andy asked.

"Your Professor Snape has resigned. I have to find a new Potions professor before school starts." Dumbledore said in a helpless tone.

"What does this have to do with me?" Andy sighed.

Dumbledore pushed open the door and flicked his wand to switch on the lights in the living room.

Andy followed him in.

The house seemed to have been through a great battle, with broken furniture and ornaments everywhere, and Andy also smelled a faint smell of blood.

"Uh……"

Andy glanced around and complained, "This layout is so amateurish... fighting isn't about destroying the environment."

"If it was a large-scale magic, there's no way the outside of the house would be unscathed."

"…Luckily he only teaches Potions!"

And the sofa—it was the only piece of furniture in the house that was intact.

Since this man was the future Potions professor, Andy thought it would be better to give him some face.

Dumbledore retracted his wand, looked at the strange sofa, and said, "Collins, you should know that if you want to defeat Voldemort, you must destroy his Horcruxes."

The sofa trembled.
