Chapter 276 Could it be that the Horcrux has already been transferred?

"Meow~" A cat's cry sounded.

Andy actually heard a note of excitement from the cat's meow.

It was worthy of being Filch's cat!

Since Mrs Norris is here, it means that ...

Filch would arrive at the battlefield in thirty seconds.

Andy had already heard the sound of 'da da da da' footsteps, which was the sound of Filch running at a speed of about seventy mph.

"Ron!" Harry exclaimed in panic before re-cloaking himself in his invisibility cloak.

The trick of selling his teammate was a good one.

Ron, Harry, and Andy, one in front of the other, quickly ran to the ground floor of the castle.

At this time, the doors of the castle were already locked.

Ron turned into a corridor, the window at the end of the corridor was open, and Ron jumped straight out.

"Ron!!!"

Harry shouted as he leaned over the window, and seeing that Ron didn't stop, he rolled out after him.

Tsk!

Andy suddenly realised that Harry's behaviour might seem like it was a bit reckless, but there was actually some wisdom in it.

Ron was obviously a bit out of sorts.

Combined with what happened last time, Harry should have judged that Ron was under the control of Imperius Curse.

Harry shouted loudly, obviously to alarm the professor.

At this time, it would be too stupid to worry whether points would be deducted or not.

Andy followed and jumped out.

The direction Ron ran ahead is ...

'Forbidden Forest!'

Instead of running after him, Andy slowed down and silently followed the two.

Andy remembered that Voldemort had anonymously written a letter to him earlier, telling him to attack a random person and put him in the Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade.

Besides, Ron was only under an Imperius Curse, he wasn't the one being controlled by the Horcrux directly.

On top of that, Ron had been travelling around the castle at night for three days before he lured Harry out.

All signs indicated that Ron should just be a pawn to attract Dumbledore's attention.

'It is possible to Apparate in the Forbidden Forest, isn't it?'

'It should be easy for the Horcrux to escape Hogwarts if he wants to. All he needs to do is enter the Forbidden Forest and use Apparition to get out of here.'

'Even if he would be tracked down, the Horcrux has already absorbed the life force of two people, he has the power to control one person and move the Horcrux out.'

Andy frowned slightly and quickly thought of the crux of the problem.

The reason why the Horcrux didn't leave from the Forbidden Forest should be because Dumbledore was staring at the Forbidden Forest.

Dumbledore's brother was staring at Hogsmeade, while Dumbledore personally was staring at Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest.

In this way, Voldemort would have to remain obediently in the castle.

"Hiss-"

Andy suddenly sucked in a breath of cold air.

Dumbledore had been keeping an eye on the Forbidden Forest, so Voldemort's Horcrux couldn't leave from the Forbidden Forest.

But judging from Dumbledore's various behaviours, he actually wanted to use this matter to train Harry.

Would Voldemort be able to find out about this?

The soul fragment in the Horcrux should be Voldemort at around thirty years old. Voldemort in this period is not that crazy, and his thoughts should be mature and rational.

If he knew about it ...

'The Horcrux shouldn't be in Ron's hands already, right?' Andy thought with a shocked face.

All along, Andy had a thinking limitation.

That was that the Horcrux controlled another person, and Ron was merely controlled by an Imperius Curse.

But what if Voldemort did this to relocate the Horcrux?

Using that logic as a base, a lot of things can be explained.

The first time Voldemort took control of Ron, it seemed on the surface as if he was trying to win Andy over or to frame him. But in reality, he did it to let Dumbledore know that he controlled Ron.

That's why Voldemort only roped in Andy once.

Because Voldemort knew that Andy wouldn't give a damn about him, and also knew that Andy would inform Dumbledore about it.

Previously, Andy had wondered why Voldemort had controlled Ron to reach out to him and not anyone else.

As Harry's best friend, Ron was actually quite conspicuous.

But if you look at it from another angle, Ron was also a wonderful pawn to divert everyone's attention.

Because he is Harry's best friend.

As long as Ron was controlled, Harry could be lured out.

And Dumbledore is inclined to use this incident to train Harry.

This gave Voldemort an opportunity.

Ron wandered around the castle for three days straight before luring Harry out, and for those three days, Ron travelled at night with great fanfare, as if he was afraid that people wouldn't know.

Putting Ron in the open made everyone think that Ron was just a pawn to draw attention to him, while the Horcrux remained hidden in the shadows.

There was no doubt that as long as two people were acting together tonight, with Ron in the open and the other in the shadows, then Dumbledore would definitely keep an eye on the one hiding in the shadows.

But the Horcrux was transferable!

With the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade heavily guarded, the only way Voldemort could enter the Forbidden Forest would be by bringing Harry along.

Because Dumbledore wanted Harry to face Voldemort head-on.

"Hmm ..."

Andy pondered in his heart and analysed deeply, 'This reason can be justified.'

As long as the Horcrux controlled Ron into the Forbidden Forest, he could Apparate and leave at any time. Moreover, he had lured Harry over, so he still had a chance to kill Harry before Apparition.

"Weasley-"

Just as Andy was doubling his speed, Filch had already chased after them to the windows on the ground floor.

He looked at Ron's back with a sinister gaze and a vicious smile on his face, as if he had seen a lamb to be slaughtered.

He watched Filch laboriously roll over the window, carrying an oil lamp in one hand, and chasing after Ron in a strange gait, striding towards him.

And his speed wasn't slow.

Andy also sped up to catch up.

The castle was some distance away from the Forbidden Forest, and Andy was prepared to intercept Ron before the Forbidden Forest.

No matter what, the soul fragments within the Horcrux had already known the name 'Andy Collins'.

So whether it was for the sake of training himself or to conceal his identity, Andy had to eliminate this Horcrux.

Last year, the reason why Andy didn't dare to make an enemy of Quirrell was because he was worried that Voldemort would know his identity and would go after his family after he was resurrected.

But this Horcrux already knew about Andy!

That's why he had to die.

Because he knew too much.

'Gotta work out later.' Andy thought to himself.

If you didn't run, you wouldn't know, but once you ran, you would be shocked.

All along, Andy had been focused on studying magic, unlike other young wizards who went around all day and played wildly.

So Andy got the knowledge and neglected his body.

Not even running a few steps ahead, Andy felt that his legs were a bit burdened.

"I'm a mage ..." Andy tried to find an excuse.

Seeing that Ron was already within range, Andy quickly raised his wand and pointed it at Ron.

"Confringo!"

Boom-

The violent explosion directly sent Ron flying out.
