Chapter 612 The choice of sacrifice

As Andy withdrew his wand, the fierce fire gradually subsided.
"Um!"
Andy nodded with satisfaction, "Done!"
With that said, Andy turned to look at Dumbledore, raised his eyebrows, and signaled that you could pass.
Although everything under the pool had been burned by the fire, the boat still could not accommodate Andy and Dumbledore at the same time, and Andy did not intend to swim across.
So...the only people who can get through are Harry and Dumbledore.
Dumbledore winked at Andy, then patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Harry, it's time for us to go."
"Oh, okay!" Harry responded helplessly.
Before coming over, Harry was actually very excited.
After all, he was taking an adventure with Andy and Dumbledore. Just thinking about the dangers he might encounter during the process, Harry felt that his adventurous heart was already boiling.
However, there are some differences between imaginary adventure and real adventure.
Under the leadership of two full-level tubas, Harry, a trumpet who had not yet left the novice village (Hogwarts), did not even have any adventure experience.
He didn't do anything, and the dungeon was already cleared.
How could he brag to Ron after he returned?
With a depressed expression on his face, Harry followed Dumbledore into the boat and headed towards the center of the pool.
Andy knelt down, put his hand into the puddle, stirred it, and then tested it with his wand.
Nothing was found.
Voldemort still has some abilities. Although the magic mechanism he arranged here is mind-boggling, the level of the mechanism is very high. At least Andy cannot arrange such a mechanism.
"It's not just a spell, it should also have elements of alchemy..." Andy guessed in his mind.
Considering that Voldemort once worked in Borgin Burke's shop, it is reasonable to have such alchemical attainments.
That store is still very famous. It is the largest store in Knockturn Alley and specializes in selling dark magic items.
Now that the Ministry of Magic strictly controls dark magic items, Borkin Burke's shop has been around for decades.
Even though the Ministry of Magic conducted a large-scale search for dark magic items two years ago, the store was not affected at all and was still open for business.
There are even people selling illegal black magic items there.
Andy suddenly became interested in this store.
Voldemort, who had just graduated, was a smart man, but he still chose to work in Borgin \u0026 Burke's store because the boss, Mr. Borkin, must be quite capable.
"It's interesting..." Andy touched his chin.
"Andyββ"
While Andy was deep in thought, Harry suddenly shouted loudly: "You need to drink the potion here."
Andy: "..."
What did you say?
"What's going on?" Andy asked loudly.
Harry quickly explained: "There is a stand here, which is filled with potions. Dumbledore said that the Horcruxes are hidden in the potions, but you must drink up all the potions to get the Horcruxes."
"Ah! Then come back first and let's catch a Death Eater." Andy shouted.
Dumbledore: "..."
The method is good, but a bit inhumane.
As Andy finished speaking, there was suddenly no sound from the other side.
You don't need to think about it to know that Harry and Dumbledore obviously don't agree with Andy's method.
In their minds, Death Eaters do deserve to die, but they must be tried by law or killed in battle, rather than lynched randomly.
This is unacceptable to them!
Andy doesn't care when he sees this. If you don't agree, then think of your own solution.
"Andy, isn't this bad? Maybe... we can catch an animal or something." After a while, Harry's voice sounded again.
"what ever!"
Andy said: "But I think animals are much more innocent than Death Eaters."
There was silence on the other side for a while, and then Harry continued to shout: "Andy, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you to find a way to send us an animal."
"Professor Dumbledore said that if the boat goes back, it will not be able to come back."
I see!
Andy suddenly understood.
First you have to bleed, then you consume your magic power, and finally you have to drink a potion with unknown ingredients, and there are hidden dangers under the pool.
Thinking about it this way, Voldemort is quite insidious.
The small boat can make a round trip. If the intruder does not choose to sacrifice himself, he may never get Voldemort's Horcrux.
But once you drink the magic potion, you may not be far from death.
"Okay! Just wait for me!"
After saying that, Andy turned around and walked out of the cave.
First, I went to the Forbidden Forest to catch an Acromantula - this thing was ugly. Sacrificing this guy might alleviate some of the psychological burden on Harry and Dumbledore.
After all, appearance is justice.
If they catch a cat, dog or something, they may have to struggle for a long time.
Putting the Acromantula into the pocket of the Space Expansion Spell, Andy went to No. 12 Grimmauld Place again and borrowed a house elf from Sirius.
Andy disapparated all the way, which took less than five minutes.
After leaving No. 12 Grimmauld Place, Andy used the Imperius Curse to control Kreacher, and then controlled Kreacher to use Apparition and took him to the seaside cave with him.
Snapped!
Andy and Kreacher appeared out of thin air at the edge of the pool.
Snap!
Another Apparition, Andy and Kreacher appeared on the platform in the center of the pool.
"Andy, you're back!" Harry was surprised.
This is too efficient!
Looking at the creature at Andy's feet again, Harry's face froze and he stammered, "Kreacher? Andy, you're not going to use Kreacher..."
"No!"
Andy shrugged, took out the eight-eyed giant spider from the pocket of the space extension spell, and said casually, "I went to the Forbidden Forest."
"Ah!!"
Seeing the sudden appearance of the eight-eyed giant spider, Harry was immediately startled, but his face looked much better, at least he was not so entangled.
Dumbledore looked at all this calmly.
With his wisdom, of course he could understand Andy's thoughts, and he also knew Harry's thoughts.
In the case of having to sacrifice a life, Harry's choice is actually very in line with human nature-choosing the object of sacrifice based on closeness and personal preferences.
Andy's choice is actually the same.
As long as it wasn't him or his close ones, the rest... it didn't matter who was sacrificed.
But Andy obviously took Harry's acceptance into consideration and brought an Acromantula that was easy to be 'accepted'.
Dumbledore didn't say anything.
In fact, he and Harry hadn't spoken much since they came to the platform in the center of the pool.
Andy even wondered if the old man had been here before? This time, he brought himself and Harry here, perhaps just for this moment.
