Chapter 265 Is this slander?

Andy couldn't help but feel a little amused.

If Voldemort's purpose in throwing the Chamber of Secrets out there was to create chaos and draw attention away from him, then his plan could be considered a complete and utter failure.

Andy tried to reason it out.

What would have happened behind the scenes if he had 'reported' Ron's problems today?

Harry heard a 'hissing' sound.

This meant that Voldemort had already laid the groundwork well in advance.

Once Andy had reported Ron ...

In the middle of the argument between the two sides, it was likely that the secret of Harry being a Parselmouth would be exposed, and by the way, the fact that Andy had learned the parseltongue would also be brought to light.

In this way, introducing the Chamber of Secrets would be a logical route.

Andy frowned slightly, "This kind of reasoning seems like it makes sense, but ..."

The chamber of secrets is already empty!

And Dumbledore is not a fool, a secret room, and Voldemort's Horcrux - which is the lesser of the two, Dumbledore naturally has a good idea.

"If it's just to attract the attention of the crowd, then it's a bit too silly."

Andy grumbled, "It's fine to fool the young wizards, but this kind of tactic won't fool Dumbledore."

Hermione reminded, "On top of that, he absorbed a person's life force."

Andy: "..."

This Horcrux is alright, it's damn good at killing two birds with one stone.

"Well ..."

Andy mused, "Before there are any other clues, we can only judge it this way. As for framing me ... this kind of trick is also too obvious."

Of course, the main thing was that Andy didn't think Voldemort would take him seriously.

He might be interested, but in front of the great cause of resurrection, everything had to take a back seat.

***

Headmaster's office.

"Professor Dumbledore ..." As soon as he walked into the Headmaster's office, Harry couldn't wait to say something.

"Take it easy, Harry."

Dumbledore smiled lightly, "How about a drink, orange juice?"

"Professor-" Harry opened his mouth and finally said, rather helplessly, "Fine! I would like to drink something hot."

It was the opposite of Harry's behaviour.

Ron was very quiet now, as quiet as an office ornament - he just stood there with his head bowed, not saying a word the whole time.

"Professor Dumbledore, I just lied to you."

Harry said suddenly, "It was Ron who heard the hissing, and the girl was already lying there when he brought me there."

Dumbledore just looked at Harry kindly and waited for Harry to continue.

Harry felt a little bitter, he didn't want to betray his best friend, but Ron had been so out of sorts lately that he thought Ron might be in some trouble.

"Aside from that ... Professor, I'm actually Parselmouth, and I taught parseltongue to Andy."

Harry said, "Of course, I'm not doubting Andy. In fact, since this morning, I've felt ..."

At that, Harry turned his head to look at Ron.

Ron hung his head, and he seemed to sense Harry's gaze and abruptly turned his head towards Harry.

Harry: "..."

Okay! There was no need to say anything now, Harry knew that something was wrong with Ron - he wasn't normal at all, the way he looked.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Harry looked at Dumbledore with a pleading face; he hoped that Dumbledore would be able to save Ron.

"Don't worry, Harry ..." Dumbledore said slowly.

"Professor, what's wrong with Ron?"

Harry prodded as he grabbed Ron sharply, "Ron, what's wrong with you, do you hear me?"

"Ron! Ron! Ron!"

"..."

Dumbledore raised his tone, "Harry!!!"

"Professor? What can we do to get Ron back?" Harry asked impatiently.

Dumbledore asked rhetorically, "Harry, do you know the three Unforgivable Curses?"

"No. Unforgivable Curses?" Harry looked like a possessed student scum at the moment, he opened his mouth in bewilderment, but could not answer anything.

"Ugh!"

Dumbledore silently sighed, and then explained, "Unforgivable Curses include the Killing Curse, Imperius Curse, and the Cruciatus Curse. These are all extremely evil and cruel dark magic."

"Once any of these magic spells are used on a person, the caster will be imprisoned for life in Azkaban."

"Most importantly, the Unforgivable Curse has no counterspell!"

"WHAT!!!" No matter what, Harry had been studying magic for over a year now, and he still understood the meaning of 'counterspell'.

"Professor, what you mean is ..."

Harry looked unconvinced, "Ron he ... is he going to be like this all the time?"

Dumbledore said indifferently, "Don't worry, although the Imperius Curse had been successfully casted, it didn't cause Ron any harm. If it was just a matter of undoing the spell, it could easily be done."

Harry was relieved to hear that.

Dumbledore continued, "But before that, I want to know what happened!"

"Professor, it's like this ..."

Harry explained, "In fact, since this morning, I have felt that Ron is a bit off, just ... it's just that I didn't care at the time."

"In the evening, Ron suddenly found me, and he said he heard hissing noises in the hallway on the second floor."

"I had mentioned to him before the secret of me being a Parselmouth, and he also knew that Andy had learned the parseltongue. So ... Ron guessed that the person who attacked the girl might have been Andy."

Harry recounted what he had learned in rough terms.

Very little, hardly any useful information.

Still, Dumbledore listened with rapt attention.

"Ah! I've probably got the picture." Dumbledore said as he raised his wand to Ron.

"Well!" Ron raised his head, his whole body seemed to snap awake briefly, but he soon drifted back into a deep sleep.

"Professor?" Harry looked at Dumbledore in confusion.

"He's fine already, he needs to rest now," Dumbledore said slowly.

Harry sighed in relief at that.

"Professor, did you find the culprit?" Harry asked suddenly.

"Unfortunately!"

Dumbledore said in a calm tone, "Although we have some clues, we have not been able to lock the suspect."

Harry looked at Dumbledore and seemed to finally muster up the courage, "Professor, maybe it's Snape ... I noticed earlier that Snape had been injured, and he may be colluding with someone outside the school."

Dumbledore: "..."

As if to increase Snape's suspicion, Harry continued, "I suspect that the attack on Azkaban was also Snape's work. Professor, Snape wouldn't be a ... Death Eater, would he?"

Dumbledore: "..."

Needless to say, Harry's guess was completely correct.

Snape did collude with people outside the school.

And he is indeed a Death Eater.

It is also true that he was the one responsible for the attack on Azkaban.

But when you were saying this ... you are just slandering, aren't you?
