Chapter 257: Headmaster, what are the admission requirements for Beauxbatons?

"Don't worry!" Andy patted Hermione.

It had to be said that Dumbledore was really formidable.

He laid out the difficult areas directly, which would lead young wizards like Hermione, who are filled with a sense of justice in their hearts, to always think about doing their own small part.

And the result of this would be ...

Dumbledore didn't ask for anything, everything was Hermione's voluntary decision to jump in.

Hermione not only understands Dumbledore's predicament but also appreciates Dumbledore's willingness to give her a chance.

After being sold, she still wants to count the money for others.

The essence of this kind of means, Andy really can't learn it.

Too high-end!

But fortunately, Andy came over today, also to have a showdown.

Seeing that Hermione still wanted to say something, Andy smiled apologetically and said, "Hermione, there are some secrets next that may not be suitable for you to know."

"...OK!" The young witch nodded her head.

After saying that, Hermione was about to get up and leave when she saw Andy pull out his wand and cast an Imperturbable Charm on her.

Hermione: "..."

Wands are so handy!

It's just really no matter what, you're going to use your wand to fix it, right?

Dumbledore's eyes went serious as well.

He had been concerned about Andy and had heard the other professors say certain things about Andy. Snape, in particular, told him a lot about Andy.

He is a very smart and perceptive young wizard.

He possessed superb insight and analytical skills, and could always detect the truth of the matter from some small and trivial things.

For example, the summer holiday a few months ago.

Andy was able to analyse Dumbledore's true purpose just based on a small thing like 'Dumbledore asked Fudge to search for dark magic items'.

Because this thing that Dumbledore did was completely thankless, not only did it not have any benefit to him, but instead offended a whole lot of rich and powerful people for nothing.

Then why would Dumbledore still want to do that?

It is very simple, you just need to think about who Dumbledore's biggest enemy is on the line.

Voldemort!

So the dark magic item Dumbledore is trying to find must have something to do with Voldemort.

"Collins ..."

Dumbledore looked at Andy with a pair of eyes full of wisdom.

Andy said with a straight face, "Headmaster, do you know the method to open the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets?"

Dumbledore said slowly, "There are some guesses."

Andy nodded, "It's Parseltongue! I, for one, don't know it. But Harry is Parselmouth, I learned a bit from him. I still don't understand Parseltongue, though I can speak a few words."

Dumbledore waited in silence.

Andy continued, "The Room of Requirement is magical, it can change into any room you want. Of course, that includes the Headmaster's office."

As he said this, Andy's eyes went to the bookshelves in the Headmaster's office.

Dumbledore's eyes twitched slightly.

Secrets of the Darkest Art.

Dumbledore suddenly realized that Andy probably already knew the secret of the Horcrux.

It was Andy who had told Snape about it.

And before Andy said this matter, he also mentioned Harry and also mentioned Parseltongue.

This child is terrifyingly perceptive as ever!

Sure enough ...

Andy said in a deep voice, "Harry, is also one of the Horcruxes!"

Dumbledore: "..."

"Collins, what are you trying to say?" Dumbledore asked.

Andy spread his hands and said calmly, "Actually, what I want is very simple, a quiet study environment that allows me to concentrate on studying magic consistently."

"But ... who made me unlucky, and happened to be in the same class as Harry Potter."

"Since there's no shortage of troubles, we can only solve them one by one!"

"Actually, when I think about it, this isn't bad. It's both fun, and you can exercise your practical skills at the same time. Learning magic is still a bit boring, and being able to have something to do can also relieve the fatigue a little."

After a pause, Andy looked at Dumbledore and continued, "The only thing you want to do is to eliminate Voldemort. Of course, I want to bring him down as well for my peaceful study."

"As for Harry's matter, I won't care, please worry about him yourself!"

"As for the matter at hand ..."

"To be brutally honest, I'm only worried about two things. The first is that Hermione is being attacked; the second is that there will be too many casualties and Hogwarts will have to close."

"I'm indeed a pure wizard, but I'm also a human being. So I have feelings, but not too many."

Dumbledore had been listening patiently.

It had to be said that after listening to these words, Dumbledore understood Andy more deeply, and also knew Andy's purpose for coming over to him tonight.

To put it simply, one sentence: please hurry up and take care of it, and it's best not to involve me.

Pure wizard?

Dumbledore looked at Andy.

No one starts out as a 'pure wizard', after all, there are so many interesting things in life, and studying magic is too boring.

The upper limit of magic, the individual's talent, the temptations in life, all of these would be a hindrance to them.

"Collins, since you have guessed so much, you should be able to guess my purpose as well, right?" Dumbledore asked.

Andy made an 'I get it' and 'helpless' face.

To train Harry and then have him search for Horcruxes.

So this whole thing was kinda hopeless.

Dumbledore suddenly laughed, "If you think this is interesting, then you might as well get involved. I think you might encounter more interesting things."

Andy: "..."

"Then I might as well ask Beauxbatons Academy of Magic about their admission requirements," Andy said, spreading his hands.

Dumbledore: "..."

Dumbledore wasn't continuing the conversation, "What do you think about the Horcrux?"

"What happens when a person loses an arm?"

Andy asked rhetorically, and then said, "I don't understand the role of souls in the path of magic at the moment, but it should be quite important, right?"

It was true that Voldemort was a bit crazy, but that didn't have a direct effect on magic.

On the contrary, the extreme character caused by slicing the soul instead allowed Voldemort to go farther and farther down the path of dark magic.

His dark magic was strong!

"Yes, of course, the soul is important."

Dumbledore explained, "Voldemort's soul has been completely eroded by dark magic, including those soul fragments."

"He wasn't exactly being arrogant when he said that he had travelled farther down the path of dark magic than anyone else."

Andy pondered, "But dark magic, it's just a part of magic."

"All you really need to do to understand the soul is to observe the ghosts."

Dumbledore continued to explain, "Emotions, thoughts, memories, these invisible concepts, all originate from the soul. It controls our bodies as well as our magic."

"Collins, ghosts have magic power, but they can't use magic. What do you think ... they are missing?"

"Hmm?" Andy froze at his words.

This question had occurred to Andy before.

Ghosts did not have bodies, nor did they have lives. Although they existed, they were dead in the true sense of the word.

It's just that ...

The answer to that question of Dumbledore's was obviously not this.
