Chapter 46: Really Sincere Heart Is Fed to the Dog

Principal room.

"I'm sorry, Quirinus."

Dumbledore said softly: "I have tried my best to dissuade the school directors, but they insist that this is the common request of all students at Hogwarts, and we cannot violate everyone's will."

"And you do have some physical problems. Spending more time recuperating would be a good thing for you."

"Of course, if you need it, I can also introduce you to a job."

Dumbledore is like a kind old man guiding an ignorant young man who is confused about the future.

"Ah! No... no need."

Quirrell was a little panicked, and he said timidly: "I really want to rest for a while, thank you...Professor Dumbledore."

Dumbledore's gaze under his lenses looked directly into Quirrell's eyes, which seemed to be full of power, "If you have any difficulties, I can help you. I mean - any difficulties."

"I...I..." Quirrell opened his mouth.

He failed the task assigned by the Dark Lord, and he still didn't know how the Dark Lord would punish him.

But Voldemort is now inhabiting his body. Once he betrays, Voldemort can kill him immediately.

"Thank you, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Quirrell whispered: "I...I have no difficulty."

"All right!"

Dumbledore sighed and said, "Well, good luck to you, Quirinus."

"Thank you!" Quirrell walked out of the principal's office tremblingly.

Dumbledore sat quietly on the chair, his eyes calm, but his heart was already stirring.

He almost took action just now.

Dumbledore was proficient in Legilimency. He rarely used this magic, but matters related to Voldemort were an exception.

Since Quirrell dared to come to Hogwarts undercover, he had naturally mastered Occlumency and could somewhat counter Dumbledore's Legilimency.

But just now, under the collapse of his mind, Quirrell finally showed his flaws.

Voldemort actually possessed Quirrell.

Dumbledore thought about this possibility, but he didn't think Voldemort would be so bold as to come to Hogwarts to steal the Philosopher's Stone when he lost his power.

And Quirrell is too obvious.

At the beginning of the school year, when Dumbledore saw Quirrell for the first time, he discovered Quirrell's problem.

But he didn't expect Voldemort to play a trick on him.

Dumbledore almost couldn't help but take action, but he still held back after all.

Before he cracked the secret of Voldemort's immortality, Dumbledore could not kill Voldemort - even if he was just a remnant soul.

"Harry..."

That prophecy has come true, and Harry Potter is Voldemort's arch-nemesis.

But Dumbledore was hesitant at the moment.

Because the prophecy does not mean that Harry defeated Voldemort, but that one must die at the hands of the other, because both people cannot live, only one can survive.

No matter how he looked at it, Harry didn't look like he could defeat Voldemort.

Except for the protective magic that Lily left behind, the difference between the two people is simply a matter of clouds and mud.

But that protective magic happened to be a power that Voldemort didn't understand.

Dumbledore knew that defeating Voldemort was not an easy task.

First of all, it is necessary to crack the secret of Voldemort's immortality.

There is some dark magic in the wizarding world that can do this. Dumbledore had some guesses, but he was never sure.

Secondly, it is a duel location to prevent Voldemort from escaping.

Dumbledore was a wizard of this level, so he knew very well that if the disembodiment could not be restricted, no one could kill Voldemort.

What's more, even if the Apparition is restricted, if there is not enough power, there may still be nothing that can be done to Voldemort.

Finally, there are powerful Death Eaters around Voldemort.

And next to Harry... there is only one Ron.

"Collins...and Granger..."

Dumbledore thought quietly, there were still many outstanding young wizards in Harry's generation.

But since talking to Andy that night, Dumbledore knew that it was almost impossible for Andy and Harry to become friends.

Andy is not as mature as an eleven-year-old wizard. Even if he does it occasionally, it is just an entertainment program while pursuing the path of magic.

And Harry... is just a naughty kid.

Since witnessing how Tom Riddle turned into Voldemort, Dumbledore has become much more cautious about some talented young wizards.

Young people who are in the process of establishing their three views are likely to have some extreme emotions due to some wrong actions of adults.

This may have been the case for Voldemort back then - Dumbledore once used magic to threaten Voldemort as a child, asking him to return the toys he had stolen and apologize to those children.

"Um…"

Dumbledore thought, "Maybe... I'll just have to let nature take its course."

Talented little wizards will always be unwilling to settle down, especially those like Andy Collins who are extremely fanatical about magic.

They need more than just magic knowledge, sometimes, they also need some opponents.

…

Andy didn't know that he had been arranged by Dumbledore. If he knew, Andy would probably shed tears of joy!

You are already one hundred and ten years old this year. Not only do you insist on going to work every day, but you also worry about the future of the magical world alone.

In the end, he didn't even have a person to take care of him in his old age.

This is really touching.

Quirrell is gone. If there is any new change in Hogwarts, it may be Professor Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class!

Andy really likes Snape's class.

Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is not only easy to understand, but also has practical links for young wizards to use magic to deal with some dark creatures.

The young wizards of the three colleges are very satisfied, so a world where only Gryffindor suffers appears.

They have to take Snape's Potions class and Snape's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

This is double the pain.

Especially in order to adjust the class, many Gryffindor classes have been scheduled in the evening.

Well... triple the pain!

If Andy is dissatisfied with anything, it may be that Snape basically ignores him and Hermione now.

When Snape asks a question, if only Hermione raises her hand, he will pretend that no one raises their hand.

Andy is the same.

When Snape asked: Who else has questions? He would pretend that Andy was not in the classroom.

This made the little witch very dissatisfied.

After class on Monday, she comforted Snape in private. Her sincerity was really wasted!

Andy didn't dare to say much.

The little witch said that day that as long as Snape cared more about Gryffindor students and Harry, they would definitely like Professor Snape.

She told Snape not to be sad and not to give up...

In short, Snape almost killed them both that day.
