Chapter 644: Voldemort: I will reveal Collins' true face

Rumble –

With a loud noise, the hill crumbled and fragmented under the influence of magic. The originally intact hill crumbled into boulders in the blink of an eye, and the sound of the landslide was deafening.

"Reparo!"

Andy waved his wand again, and the hill, which had not yet completely collapsed, instantly reverted to its original state as if time had rewound.

"Tom, this is the power of love."

Andy looked at Voldemort and said without flinching, "Professor Dumbledore always believed that love is the most powerful magical force... and of course, I agree."

"Tom, there are limits to human beings! And love... is the only force we can master that can transcend limitations."

Snape: "..."

If he didn't know some of Andy's secrets, Snape would almost believe Andy's nonsense.

Voldemort was also silent.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Voldemort couldn't help but feel a little lost inside—did Dumbledore not bluff me?

Voldemort didn't know if Andy really had mastered the power of 'love', but he had indeed been killed by 'love' once.

Lily Potter.

And Harry Potter.

Voldemort could never forget those two names.

But then suddenly, Voldemort thought of something.

His body contained Harry's blood, and he had already received the love Lily had given Harry.

He had love!

Thinking about it like this, Voldemort felt that he was not lacking in anything and that he could study the power of love properly in the future.

"Collins..."

Voldemort's hoarse voice revealed a hint of coldness: "You believe Dumbledore, but you ignore the hypocrisy behind his kind mask. He's using you!"

"When you see through Dumbledore's true face, you will discover... Collins, we are on the same side."

Andy was silent.

It was hard to imagine that such childish provocation would be a strategy Voldemort would use.

But on second thought, it was actually not that surprising.

With Voldemort's strength and reputation, he no longer needed to use so-called tricks. He was used to the idea that magic equalled might and was used to bullying people with his strength. So naturally, some things would inevitably decline.

"You probably don't understand..."

Andy shrugged his shoulders and said with a sincere look on his face, "I'm Professor Dumbledore's favourite student, and he has already agreed to let me stay on as a professor after I graduate."

"Not only that, when I become the Headmaster, Professor Dumbledore will also leave me his Phoenix."

Voldemort: "..."

Hearing this, Voldemort was almost too jealous to keep a straight face.

Why?

Dumbledore is so double-standard!

Thinking about his own student days and then his own job search, Voldemort really wanted to hug himself in pain.

No matter how good his grades were, no matter how well he behaved, Dumbledore just never trusted him.

Dumbledore always looked at him with a critical, suspicious gaze, as if he had secretly planned to do something terrible.

And then there was Andy...

Voldemort was absolutely certain that he was a bad boy!

He studied magic transfiguration and even dangerous forbidden magic.

He was only fourteen years old, but his hands were already covered in blood—he had shown no mercy to the Death Eaters.

Voldemort even suspected that if he failed, Andy Collins would take his place and become an even more terrifying and dangerous Dark Lord.

Was Dumbledore going senile?

"Severus?" Voldemort turned to Snape in a last-ditch attempt to get him to debunk Andy's lie.

Snape: "..."

"My Lord…"

Snape said quietly, "We discussed this before."

Voldemort took a deep breath.

Yes, they had!

Right after the last battle at the Ministry of Magic, both Snape and Peter Pettigrew had said things like 'Dumbledore seems to favour Andy'.

Voldemort's mind felt completely unbalanced.

He vowed that he would find evidence that Andy was a dark wizard and expose Andy's true colours.

Then he would present this evidence to Dumbledore and show him that Andy Collins is nothing but a complete dark wizard!

Why should he be allowed to remain at Hogwarts to teach?

Why should he be allowed to become the Headmaster of Hogwarts?

"Tom, I need to go now."

Andy said with a light laugh. "It's been a nice chat tonight. This has been a really pleasant night."

After saying this, Andy's figure instantly disappeared.

Looking in the direction Andy disappeared, Voldemort's face showed a mixture of different emotions.

"My Lord, your wound..."

Snape said with concern. "Also, if we don't treat Barty's injury, I'm afraid..."

Voldemort finally came back to his senses.

Although Barty Crouch had been cut in half by a spell, wizards had strong vitality, and as long as the counter-spell could be cast in time, the person could still be saved.

As for the other person...

Unfortunately, there is no counter-curse for the Killing Curse.

Voldemort, on the other hand... His left arm had been cut off halfway from the elbow down.

The injury was not serious, and with a recovery potion and the use of a counter-curse, it could be healed. However, in his current state, he was not fit to meet the Death Eaters.

That would affect his reputation!

And...

Voldemort's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He remembered Andy had taken his severed arm.

What did he want with it?

"Severus..."

Voldemort asked in a deep voice, "You know Collins better than I do; what do you think he wants with my arm?"

"Well..."

Snape pondered for a moment before explaining, "Perhaps it is to study magic transfiguration. My Lord, Collins began studying this a year ago. He may have encountered some difficulties."

Voldemort said nothing in response.

He did not think there was a problem with Andy's magic transfiguration.

In the meantime, Snape had already pieced together the body of Barty Crouch Jr; then, under the effect of the counter-curse and a potion, Barty Crouch Jr.'s body gradually healed.

However, he was still unconscious.

"Well done, Severus."

Voldemort said, praising him in a rare moment, "What do you think I should reward you with? That is a difficult decision... Severus, no one deserves credit more than you."

"My Lord, I only did what I should have done," Severus replied promptly.

Voldemort then changed the subject, "Severus, you will have to work hard again tonight..."

As he spoke, Voldemort's gaze looked in a certain direction.

"This place has been exposed, so it seems we will have to find a new place for our gatherings in the future. Find out how Collins found this place."

"Yes!" Snape replied without delay.

After giving Snape his orders, Voldemort glanced down at his left arm. His injury also needed to be dealt with.

But there was a more pressing problem.

Andy Collins...

After tonight's two battles, Voldemort was certain that he was no match for Dumbledore or Andy Collins.

Therefore... he must get rid of these two!
