Chapter 459 Dumbledore: Collins, you tricked me!?

Everyone is like this!

It's obvious...

Harry didn't know what was wrong with him either. He just felt an inexplicable anger inside, but he couldn't let it out.

He felt that he was right to be suspicious.

Last term, when he met Snape, he felt an inexplicable pain in the scar on his forehead—a sign that only appeared when he encountered Voldemort's power.

And then there was everything that had happened this term.

All of this was proof that Snape was connected to Voldemort.

But no one wanted to believe him.

In fact, Harry knew very well that his anger was unjustified.

He knows he needs sufficient evidence to accuse someone.

But...

Perhaps it was because Peter Pettigrew had escaped that he had lost his mind. Or perhaps it was because the person he met at the moment was Dumbledore, whom he subconsciously felt was different.

He should have believed in him.

But he didn't.

This made Harry feel betrayed.

"Professor..." Harry desperately wanted to say something.

"Harry!"

Dumbledore interrupted Harry, speaking slowly and with great care, "Harry... I know you're angry, but you must keep your head cool."

"This will help you make the right decision."

"You have the right to suspect anyone, but no one will believe an accusation without proof. If you want people to believe you, the only way is to produce evidence."

"Harry, the world needs order. If everyone could convict others simply by suspecting them, the world would be a terrible place."

Dumbledore's calm tone seemed to contain an invisible force, which quickly calmed Harry down.

"Professor, I understand," Harry said with some shame.

Dumbledore nodded slightly and continued, "Peter has found his master, and he has learnt a lot during the time he spent with Ron."

"He may soon help Voldemort regain his strength, and we must be prepared."

Harry was shocked to hear this.

Over the past two years, he and Ron have discussed many things about Voldemort, avoiding everyone except the rat.

After all... who would guard against a rat?

"Harry... what have we talked about?" Ron looked at Harry with a bewildered expression, his voice slightly trembling.

Harry also looked at Ron with a blank expression.

They had discussed everything!

"Professor, what should we do now?"

Harry said anxiously, "Peter has been lurking around Ron for so long; he knows a lot."

Harry now had no time to worry about Snape and Malfoy's unusual behaviour. Voldemort was obviously much more significant than them.

Dumbledore looked at Harry with deep meaning in his eyes: "Harry, thirteen years ago, because of you, Voldemort lost everything... including the power and life he valued most."

"But he has never been able to understand what power made him lose it all."

Harry asked in confusion, "What is it?"

"It's love, Harry...it's love!"

Dumbledore's eyes shone with kindness. "We've told you before that Lily's love for you was so strong that it merged with your blood, creating a powerful protective charm."

"And to this day, this power called 'love' continues to protect you from Voldemort."

Harry: "..."

Yes, Dumbledore had mentioned this on the day Peter Pettigrew was arrested.

To be fair, Harry didn't believe this rationally, but emotionally, he was willing to believe this fairy tale.

Harry believed that his parents must have loved him.

But...using love to kill Voldemort was ridiculous!

Lilly wasn't the only one in the world who loved her son, and if love could defeat Voldemort, then he would have died eight hundred times over.

After all... to this day, Harry has never encountered Voldemort face-to-face, and he is not aware of the power within him.

"Voldemort fears this unknown power."

Dumbledore stared at Harry and continued, "So... he will definitely try to get this power."

Harry was a little exuberant on hearing this. "Professor, are you saying that Voldemort and Peter will come looking for me?"

"I think so!" Dumbledore nodded.

"Then let them come; that's great!"

Harry exclaimed. "If they dare come looking for me, I'll kill them; I'll kill them myself."

Dumbledore looked at Harry quietly, and Harry felt a little embarrassed.

Harry also knew that he was talking big; he simply couldn't beat them.

What's more, Voldemort wasn't just accompanied by Peter, but also the two Death Eaters who rescued Peter Pettigrew.

Snape, and Malfoy's father!

Thinking about this, Harry's emotions ran high again.

He had no evidence, so he would just have to find some.

"Professor..."

Harry asked, pondering, "During the time after the start of the school year, Malfoy approached Andy three times, but the two of them had never had any contact before... Do you know what they talked about?"

Dumbledore: "?"

How the hell would I know that?

But before Dumbledore could deny it, Harry continued, "Andy said that you knew what they talked about."

Dumbledore: "…"

If you put it that way, then I understand.

Dumbledore understood almost immediately!

Lucius' defection was indeed within Dumbledore's plan. But...why did Malfoy tell Andy all this?

Dumbledore was a little surprised.

What did this have to do with Andy?

Lucius had been a Death Eater under Voldemort's command, and now he had defected to Dumbledore.

Andy is only a third-year wizard, and not only was he completely outside the whole incident, he had never even met Lucius before.

Why would Malfoy tell Andy this?

Is he crazy?

But apart from this incident, Dumbledore really couldn't imagine anything else that he and Andy both knew.

But then again, Andy knowing about 'Lucius joining Dumbledore's side' was surprising, but when you think about it, it seems to make sense.

After all, Andy is... always unpredictable.

Harry had been watching Dumbledore's facial expressions, and he noticed a fleeting look of complexity on Dumbledore's face. "Professor, you know?"

Dumbledore: "..."

This time, Dumbledore really couldn't control his facial expressions.

He felt that Lucius Malfoy might have gone mad.

"Harry, since it was a conversation between Malfoy and Collins, why don't you go and ask Collins?" Dumbledore asked.

"I did ask,"

Harry said helplessly, "Andy said it was confidential, and he wouldn't tell anyone without your permission."
