Chapter 81 A Sleepless Night for Three People

It's as if who wants to associate with them.

Ever since coming to Hogwarts, Andy has deliberately distanced himself from Ron in order to avoid some unnecessary trouble.

There are many troubles in life.

—— People who don't want to care about you treat you as a friend, this is one of the countless troubles in life.

Fortunately, Harry and Ron did not invite Andy to explore the forbidden forest at night, otherwise Andy would have broken up with Ron on the spot.

"Ah!"

Andy sighed silently.

Ever since the second private chat with Dumbledore, Andy had a premonition that this day would come.

How did you talk to Dumbledore last time?

He first answered Andy's doubts about magic, and then hinted that Voldemort was behind Quirrell.

Maybe there was something hidden, but there was no deception.

And from beginning to end, Dumbledore did not make any requests.

That night, Dumbledore was like a knowledgeable old grandfather. No matter what Andy asked, he answered truthfully.

Do you think Dumbledore is a good person?

Bah! This old man is very bad!

Especially today's incident.

What is the purpose of Harry and Ron's night visit to the Forbidden Forest?

It is to investigate the person who wants to steal the Philosopher's Stone.

In order to stop the crime, the two knew that the Forbidden Forest was dangerous, but they still decided to visit the Forbidden Forest at night to find the dark wizard who coveted the Philosopher's Stone.

This matter not only showed the courage of the two, but also showed their sense of justice.

Hero!

Andy?

Andy knew that the person who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone was Quirrell, and he also knew that Voldemort was behind Quirrell.

However, when Harry and Ron found Andy, Andy was indifferent to the matter and let Harry and Ron go to the Forbidden Forest at night to die.

What courage, what sense of justice, what loyalty to friends... Andy has none of them!

If Andy had any of the above qualities, or if he was a little concerned about his image in Dumbledore's heart, even if he just wanted to show off, he would probably follow Harry!

This is Dumbledore's method - those who are willing to take the bait will be tempted!

Harry has taken the bait, but Andy will never be fooled.

After dinner, Andy went to the library to read a book first, and when it closed at 8 pm, he went directly back to the dormitory to wash and sleep.

As for Harry and Ron's night visit to the Forbidden Forest - just pretend not to know.

Don't want to, don't care, don't read!

...

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Andy, who was living a peaceful life, was still eating snacks and reading in the dormitory, but Harry, who was carrying a heavy burden, had already put on the invisibility cloak and quietly left the Gryffindor dormitory with Ron.

"Harry, are we really going to the Forbidden Forest?" Ron said with a bitter face as soon as he walked out of the castle.

When the time came, Ron was inevitably a little scared.

"Let's go and take a look. If we find any clues, we will come back and tell the professor." Harry was also a little flustered. Not to mention the unknown dangers in the Forbidden Forest, even the current environment made people feel creepy.

Passing by Hagrid's hut, Harry lifted the invisibility cloak and took a look. "The lights are off. Hagrid should have fallen asleep."

"He said he would keep an eye on us..." Ron muttered softly.

At this moment, Ron hoped that Hagrid would stop them and take him and Harry back. Even if he was deducted a few points, he didn't want to explore the Forbidden Forest at night.

Ron was able to hold on until now, all thanks to the face of the young man.

The weather tonight is good, the moonlight is bright, and the stars are shining.

When Harry and Ron walked into the Forbidden Forest, they felt that the light around them suddenly dimmed.

The huge trees were lush and covered the moonlight and starlight. The raised roots on the ground were covered with moss. Several brightly colored mushrooms grew next to the roots, emitting a bright glow in the dark.

Awooo——

There were several wolf howls in the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

The night wind blew, the leaves rustled, and the cries of a few crows could be heard faintly.

"Ha...ha...ha...Harry..."

Ron's teeth chattered, and he stammered, "I...let's go back...tell the professor..."

Harry was also a little scared. He held up the invisibility cloak, pressed his body tightly against Ron, and looked around through the invisibility cloak, looking for a way to go deeper into the Forbidden Forest.

"Let's take a look first." Harry said.

Hagrid only said that there was something strange in the Forbidden Forest, as if dangerous animals had sneaked into the Forbidden Forest, but he never said that the dark wizards who coveted the Philosopher's Stone were hiding in the Forbidden Forest.

Even if he told the professor, he had to find evidence first.

The principal's office.

Dumbledore had already laid down, but suddenly received a secret report from the castle portrait: Harry and Ron secretly left the castle.

Dumbledore: "..."

As the headmaster of Hogwarts, Dumbledore has many privileges.

Privilege one: The ghosts and portraits in the castle are his eyes.

The door of the Gryffindor dormitory is the portrait of the fat woman.

As long as Dumbledore wants, he can know every little Gryffindor wizard who wanders at night.

Harry and Ron naturally cannot escape Dumbledore's eyes.

Dumbledore walked to the window of the office in pajamas and looked through the window towards the Forbidden Forest.

Is it time to start?

Breaking into the Forbidden Forest at night was not actually in Dumbledore's plan, because he had no plan in the first place.

Dumbledore was only responsible for guiding, and as for how to do it specifically, it all depends on Harry's own choice.

Dumbledore only needs to achieve his ultimate goal.

First, to train Harry's courage.

Second, to test the protective magic on Harry.

It's just...

Dumbledore felt that his plan might fail again.

Because there was a person in the plan who did not appear in this action.

Andy Collins.

In Dumbledore's plan, Andy and Ron were friends. Once Ron encountered something difficult to solve, he would definitely ask Andy to help him find a solution.

In the last meeting, Dumbledore guided Andy to guess part of the truth. Andy already knew that the person behind Quirrell was Voldemort.

Andy even guessed that the purpose of Dumbledore doing all this was to train Harry.

So according to common sense, when Harry and Ron came to Andy, Andy would have to help anyway, right?

Because no matter from which aspect, Andy's help would be beneficial to him.

First of all, the whole thing was planned by Dumbledore behind the scenes, and this adventure was at most a close call.

Secondly, under the condition of ensuring his life safety, once Andy helped Harry, he could gain Dumbledore's favor.

Finally, even if it was just an exchange of interests, it would be fine - Dumbledore even explained magic to Andy in advance.

As a result, Andy turned a blind eye to Harry's actions!

"Isn't Collins obsessed with magic...?"

Dumbledore had a headache. This unpredictable little wizard was the most difficult to deal with.

"Now we can only take it one step at a time..."

Dumbledore opened the window, and the silvery moonlight sprinkled on Dumbledore through the window, making the old man's figure look a little ethereal.
