Chapter 418: The old bee is very cunning

Andy kept his face expressionless and tried to minimise his sense of presence.

On the surface, Snape seemed very rational, but in reality, he was quite an emotional person.

Especially when it came to Lily, Snape would transform into a love-struck fool at any time—impulsive, blind, and unable to listen to others' advice.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's overwhelming strength, Andy thinks that he would definitely fight to death.

Snape looked at Dumbledore with a gloomy expression, as if he would rush up to kill him if he said anything else.

Dumbledore stopped talking.

Andy didn't help with persuasion either. At this point, the more he said, the more likely it would anger Snape.

It was better to let Snape calm down for a few hours on his own and go back and drink a few vials of Elixir to Induce Euphoria to calm down. When reason returns, Snape will naturally make a choice.

There was a moment of silence in the office, and Dumbledore suddenly turned to Andy and asked, "Mr. Collins, what brings you here this time?"

"Ah!"

Andy came back to his senses and said, "I'm here about the Deathly Hallows."

"Professor, I've thought about it. As one of the Deathly Hallows, the Invisibility Cloak may have the ability to be immune against curses. In The Tale of the Three Brothers, the third brother, who had the Cloak, died a natural death."

"So...if Professor Lupin uses the Cloak, will he be immune to the curse left behind by Voldemort?"

Andy was quite curious about this.

Because this was a perfect opportunity to test the power of the Deathly Hallows.

If the Cloak's power was simply to make someone invisible, then it really did not live up to the name Deathly Hallows.

But what if the Cloak could protect its wearer from curses?

In The Tale of the Three Brothers, the youngest brother, who had the Invisibility Cloak, was protected from Death's curse.

If the Invisibility Cloak could protect its wearer from curses, then it would prove that the Deathly Hallows were not just ordinary alchemical items.

In fact, in the Death Chamber, Andy had already proved this.

Now he just wanted to prove it again.

Dumbledore paused for a moment.

He had never thought about this.

"A very peculiar view, Mr. Collins," Dumbledore said slowly.

Snape looked at Dumbledore, and a vague pleasure of revenge rose in his heart – he wanted to see what Dumbledore would do.

The invisibility cloak is in Harry's hands at the moment.

So... on what pretext would Dumbledore borrow the Cloak from Harry and give it to Lupin to use?

Tell him straight away that it is a Deathly Hallow?

Or make up a plausible excuse?

Or... simply refuse and let Lupin suffer Voldemort's curse?

Dumbledore looked at Andy, "It seems you haven't given up studying them."

"Professor, I'm a Ravenclaw," Andy used a universal excuse.

As a young wizard of Ravenclaw, I am full of curiosity about knowledge, which is normal, right?

"Do you think the Deathly Hallows are related to death?" Dumbledore asked again.

"I need evidence," Andy said.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment, and his expression suddenly became more serious than ever. "Collins...there are so many things in this world that we don't know about, things that are mysterious, powerful, and full of danger."

"If you rush headlong into the unknown, you must be prepared to bear the consequences. Perhaps...that is not what you want to see."

Andy nodded, "I know, that's why I've been so careful."

"Professor..."

Andy suddenly looked at Dumbledore, "Sometimes, appearance and tone of speech can also reveal something."

Dumbledore's words just now could already be considered a kind of advice – he didn't want Andy to become too obsessed with the Deathly Hallows.

Or rather, things related to the gods.

Considering that Dumbledore had once searched for the Deathly Hallows when he was young… Andy felt that Dumbledore might really know some truths, but those truths made him give up.

Of course, Dumbledore may have given up because of the death of his sister Ariana.

But his attitude already says it all.

"Yes!"

Dumbledore admitted, "It's dangerous."

Dumbledore always manages his expressions well. Once he shows a certain expression, he is actually conveying some information.

Andy changed the subject. "Professor, I suddenly realised something recently. Humans are driven by desire and obsession. They are terrifying, but no one can resist them."

"You too!"

"Your desires may be to protect the wizarding world or to love widely... You are also driven by them and believe that this is the truth."

Dumbledore paused at these words.

'My desires?' Dumbledore thought.

But it was clear that Andy's intention in saying this was not to discuss human desires with Dumbledore.

Andy's desire was obvious.

To pursue magic!

Andy was driven by this desire and was reckless.

It was impossible to make Andy give it up.

No one could give up their desires, unless they could not get it, no matter how they tried.

"Yes, we are all driven by our desires,"

Dumbledore agrees with Andy at first, before adding, "But if they are not restrained, they will consume us."

"We are driven by our desires, but we must also suppress them and keep our minds calm."

"The reason we are human is because we know how to restrain our desires."

Andy pondered these words for a while and nodded in agreement: "You are right, Professor. Your wisdom is impressive."

Andy had to admit that he had indeed been a bit reckless lately.

When had it started?

Andy thought back... but in the end, he helplessly realised that he couldn't remember.

Was it because he had studied dark magic?

Or was it just the way he was?

But Dumbledore was right: people were driven by their desires, but at the same time, they had to suppress their desires and not let them consume their hearts.

"Okay! I'll try my best to suppress my desires."

Andy folded his arms and said, "Professor, what about the invisibility cloak?"

Dumbledore winked, "The position of Defence Against the Dark Arts Professor has been troubling me for a long time. I must say, Mr. Collins, you have given me a great idea."

Andy: "..."

The old bee is cunning!

In fact, Andy also understood that the main reason Dumbledore said so much was that he did not want him to continue investigating the news about the Deathly Hallows.

In Dumbledore's opinion, that was dangerous!

However, after talking with Dumbledore, Andy calmed down a little.

'I really need to calm down,'

Andy thought to himself.
