Chapter 588 Isn’t this differential treatment too obvious?

At this moment, Voldemort truly became a little angry!

And then he looked at Snape suspiciously, as if to ask, 'Are you kidding me?'

Andy Collins!

Before last night, he had only heard this name mentioned once before, by Peter Pettigrew, but he had not taken him seriously. What could a third-year wizard, even if he had some talent, do?

But now...

Voldemort didn't know much about Andy, but he had met him twice and fought him twice.

Once in Azkaban and once at the Ministry of Magic.

In Azkaban, Andy was wearing a mask and had used the Polyjuice Potion to disguise his identity. After fighting him for a while, he took the opportunity to enter the mysterious hidden room.

During the Ministry of Magic incident, Andy even used the Killing Curse without hesitation and was even more proficient in using dark magic than a Death Eater.

It was clear that he was a young wizard full of secrets, with an obsessive interest in dark magic.

But now, someone has told Voldemort that Dumbledore values this young wizard and has privately advised him on the subject of magic.

Do you think I'll believe that?

Do you take me for a fool?

Do you even know how Dumbledore treated me back then for the same reason?

"Is that true, Wormtail?" Voldemort looked at Peter Pettigrew with murderous intent. He was furious.

This is so unfair!

"Yes, yes, my lord."

Peter Pettigrew stammered, "Severus is right; Dumbledore did advise Collins on magic; I once saw it in the corridor."

"I overheard Potter and Weasley talking. They mentioned that he seemed to be visiting Dumbledore's office a lot…"

Peter Pettigrew then lost the will to speak.

He felt that Voldemort would kill him the next moment!

At that moment, there was an eerie silence in the meeting room. Everyone was keeping their heads down and not daring to speak.

In the silence, only Voldemort's panting could be heard occasionally. The panting seemed to contain endless murderous intent, which made those who heard it shudder.

Why?

Why did Dumbledore favour that brat?

Voldemort couldn't understand it, and he was unwilling to accept it!

Was Dumbledore blind?

That brat is a complete and utter dark wizard!

After a long while, Voldemort's scarlet eyes turned to Snape, and his hoarse voice returned to a calm tone, "…anything else?"

Snape fell silent at this, and when he saw Voldemort's impatient expression, he could only continue, "As far as I know, Collins is proficient in many spells and is also excellent at potions, transfiguration, and dark magic. Oh, yes... he is also proficient in divination and can use a crystal ball to predict the future."

Snape gave a rough summary of Andy's information.

After all, Peter Pettigrew is also here, and if he hid even the slightest bit of information, Voldemort would kill him immediately.

It can be seen that Andy has studied a wide range of subjects and is proficient in every field—well, except herbology.

But Voldemort only focused on one thing.

Dark magic!

He immediately couldn't wait to ask, "Did Dumbledore know that he was learning dark magic?"

Snape paused.

He looked at Voldemort hesitantly... You're not jealous, are you?

"...Yes!"

Snape said after deliberation, "They even discussed this subject, and Collins also sought my advice on dark magic in private."

Voldemort: "..."

That kid is openly studying dark magic at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore is still teaching him?

This differential treatment is too obvious, isn't it?

At this moment, Voldemort suddenly thought of his conversation with Andy last night.

He asked Andy: If Dumbledore knew about this, what do you think he would think?

To which Andy asked in return: Do you think I care what Dumbledore thinks?

At first, Voldemort thought Andy was being arrogant.

But now... he finally knew the truth!

But this truth was so cruel that he could not accept it for a moment.

Snape also fell silent.

He looked at Voldemort... He had actually heard a certain thing from Dumbledore about Voldemort when he was a student.

At this moment, Snape was also mentally comparing Voldemort in his student days with Andy.

In his school days, Voldemort was handsome, elegant, extremely talented, studious, and hardworking; treating his classmates with kindness and goodwill. You could use almost any word of praise to describe him because Voldemort in those days was perfect.

But is there really anyone in this world who is truly perfect?

Such a person is actually quite frightening.

As for Andy...

Just thinking about Andy gave Snape a headache.

He is also a young wizard who gave people no peace of mind.

However, there was one thing that Snape was certain of: in Andy's heart, magic was the most important thing, and everything else simply served to help him pursue it.

As for authority...

If it could help Andy learn more powerful magic, then he would definitely go for it.

But if it couldn't, he would see it as a waste of time.

In addition, Snape felt that Andy had genuine emotions.

He cared about some people, not many, but he did have genuine human emotions.

This is also the biggest difference between Andy and Voldemort.

When he thought about this, Snape also felt that Voldemort being treated differently by Dumbledore was not without reason.

If he were in his place, he would not favour Voldemort either.

After a moment of silence, Voldemort looked at Snape again and asked indifferently, "Severus, getting rid of Collins...this shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

"...My Lord,"

Snape's expression changed slightly. "I'm no match for him."

"You're a professor, Severus..."

Voldemort's tone was soft, but it carried an unmistakable edge. "You can easily find an opportunity to kill him when he's least expecting it..."

Snape was silent for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, my Lord! I won't let you down."

"Just..."

As if he had thought of something, Snape said with deliberation, "My Lord, after killing Collins, I am afraid that my identity will be exposed. Dumbledore..."

"No! Collins is more important than Dumbledore!" Voldemort said with absolute certainty.

At this moment, Voldemort felt the wheel of fate beginning to turn.

The year Grindelwald was defeated, he had just graduated from Hogwarts.

And now he had returned, but he had encountered Harry Potter, his destined opponent, and Andy had also risen to prominence at this time.

This kind of inadvertent coincidence made Voldemort feel the power of fate.

In particular, he had been prophesied to die once before.

Voldemort now believed in these things!

Once he was defeated by Harry, Andy Collins might be the next Dark Lord.

Wait a minute...

Harry will defeat me?

Voldemort thought this over and then said, "Severus... I think you are right. I may have been blinded by my anger."

"Leave Collins alone for now..."

"Harry Potter... keep an eye on him! And then find a way to bring him to me!"

Snape: "..."
