"No..."
Andy leaned slightly to the side and whispered, "Dumbledore examined him and confird that he had not been under the Imperius Curse and that his mory had not been altered."
"But..."
Andy glanced at Sirius.
For so reason, Andy had the feeling that sothing was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
"Anyway, it's always good to be cautious," Andy said seriously.
Hermione glanced at Sirius sneakily before quickly averting her gaze. "I know!"
Seeing this, Andy stopped talking.
In the current situation, with no clues as to what was going on, all Andy could do was be on guard against everyone, being careful and cautious.
Although Andy is strong, he was not made of adamantium and was not invulnerable. If he took a killing curse, he would still die.
Not to ntion the instant-kill killing curse; even if it were just the most basic stunning spell, Andy would not be able to resist it with just his physical body.
At these tis, Andy particularly yearned for the magic resistance attribute.
If there had been a magic resistance attribute in this world, Andy definitely would have raised his magic resistance to the maximum first.
***
Ti passed little by little.
By the afternoon, the score between the two teams had reached 170:10, a difference of 160 points.
Just then, a familiar scene unfolded on the pitch.
Andy had seen this scene in the crystal ball.
The Bulgarian player Krum seed to have used a certain special tactical move, which drew loud cheers from the audience.
Then... he caught the golden snitch.
170:160
The score was locked in at that mont.
Andy suddenly felt that this guy nad Krum did have a brain.
Apart from the Seeker, the performance of the other players from both teams was really too far apart. The Bulgarian team had used almost every foul play in the book, but their players still only scored ten points.
If he hadn't caught the golden snitch now, they would only lose even more disgracefully.
'Sure enough... you can't judge a book by its cover,' Andy suddenly mused to himself.
Photos and videos can also be deceiving.
Even in the information age in his previous life, the saying 'a picture paints a thousand truths' had long since beco a cliché.
With all kinds of photo editing and out-of-context clipping... many people have been fooled into believing things that aren't true.
'Have I been fooled too?' Andy suddenly asked himself after a mont of contemplation.
When he had used the divination, the crystal ball had shown a chaotic crowd, magical beams of light crisscrossing the sky, and a dark mark hovering in midair.
Seeing these images, Andy had naturally thought that Voldemort was leading the Death Eaters to attack.
However, there was no sign of Voldemort in the image.
Andy didn't even catch a glimpse of who was fighting.
"Hermione..."
Andy leaned slightly to the side and asked, "When the divination was done earlier, did you clearly see the scenes in the crystal ball?"
"Why?" Hermione was taken aback and paused in her actions of packing things away.
Andy said with a serious expression, "If Voldemort didn't co in person and only a few Death Eaters were creating chaos, then there would be a major problem with our current arrangents."
"This..."
Hermione thought for a mont and frowned, saying, "The images were flashing too quickly for to see clearly. But...the Dark Mark was very clear."
"I'll leave it to you here."
After saying this, Andy waved his wand to summon the Fat Cat Patronus and then called out, "Isa, you co with first; I'll send you ho in a bit."
"Can't we play for a bit longer?"
Isabel pouted, saying, "It's still a few hours until dark."
"Sorry, next ti!"
Andy said, and without waiting for Isabel to agree, he waved his wand, put Isabel to sleep, and then the entrance to the space pocket seed to have enlarged and swallowed the little lass in.
"I'll go talk to Professor Dumbledore."
He asked the Fat Cat Patronus to stay and protect Hermione, and then he quickly got up and jogged towards where Dumbledore was.
***
The stadium's podium.
When he saw Andy standing not far away, Dumbledore explained a few words to the people around him and then walked alone towards Andy.
"Mr. Collins, good afternoon."
Dumbledore nodded slightly and then asked a question that caught Andy a little off guard: "Which tiline are you from?"
Andy: "…"
What? I used the Ti Turner?
Andy was shocked!
How big of an event must have happened for to use the Ti Turner?
To be clear, Andy handed in the Ti Turner that the school had issued right after the start of the sumr holiday. The Ti Turner Andy is currently carrying was previously 'borrowed' from the Ti Hall.
This is an illegal Ti Turner!
Since it is illegal, it inevitably ans that Andy cannot use it openly.
If he did use it, sothing big must have happened.
Thinking this, Andy asked, "Professor, did I use the Ti Turner?"
"I don't know!"
Dumbledore shook his head slightly. "I thought you would."
"Have you t from the other tiline?" Andy asked again.
Dumbledore said, "Of course not."
Andy: "…"
You're going to get beaten up if you keep talking like that.
After a mont of silence, Andy said expressionlessly, "Professor, let's have a duel after the start of this school year!"
Dumbledore: "…"
How did the topic change so quickly?
Why did it end up coming to a duel?
"Collins, what have you discovered?" Dumbledore ignored Andy's duel challenge and asked directly.
"Hoo..."
Andy took a deep breath and repeated his previous guess—in addition to the results of divination, Andy also ntioned Hermione's guess.
Voldemort should not take any large-scale actions until the two biggest stumbling blocks, Andy and Dumbledore, were removed.
And all his actions now should be aid at eliminating Andy and Dumbledore.
This was a very reasonable guess.
"Of course I know!"
Dumbledore nodded slightly, then winked at Andy and said, "I brought Fawkes."
"Then there's no problem." Andy imdiately felt relieved.
Dumbledore should have the ans of real-ti communication, and with the help of the Phoenix's Apparition, he could support any location in the wizarding world at any ti.
Andy was jealous beyond asure.
"Professor..."
Andy asked hesitantly, "If I beco Headmaster, can you leave the Phoenix?"
Dumbledore: "..."
"It depends on what Fawkes wants," Dumbledore said tactfully.
"What does he like to eat? Does he have any hobbies?"
Andy asked eagerly, "Isn't it quite lonely for a bird to live all alone? It's not easy to find a Phoenix, but I can get him a beautiful peacock."
Dumbledore: "..."
"Collins..."
Dumbledore felt that the conversation was not going anywhere, so he glanced back and said, "They're still waiting for ... Collins, we can talk about the Phoenix later."
"OK!"
Andy gave a goodbye gesture: "Professor, you can ask Fawkes to co and find ; we can get to know each other a bit first."
Dumbledore's footsteps suddenly picked up a bit.
