Get rid of Andy and Dumbledore?
"..."
Voldemort fell silent.
Because he suddenly realised that although his idea sounded good, the reality was very harsh.
Tonight's two consecutive defeats had dealt Voldemort a heavy blow.
Needless to say, in the battle with Dumbledore... On the surface, Dumbledore only managed to win by a slight advantage thanks to the sacrifice of the phoenix. But Voldemort knew very well that he was no match for Dumbledore at all.
During the battle, Dumbledore only used the statue of the Centaur, while the other statues were doing other things.
It was clear that Dumbledore still had some energy to spare.
The reason he sacrificed the Phoenix was just to secure a quick victory.
As for the battle with Andy...
Voldemort almost choked when he thought about it.
Although Andy had cut off his arm with the advantage of a sneak attack, the following confrontation made Voldemort clearly aware of Andy's horror.
It appeared as if Andy had no limits. In just a few months, Andy had grown from being slightly inferior to Voldemort to being strong enough to defeat him.
Not only that, but Andy had only studied magic for three years.
Three years...
Voldemort could hardly imagine how much Andy would grow after the end of his fourth year.
'Love is the only power that can transcend limitations, the only power that humans can master.'
Voldemort thought of what Andy had said.
Not only Andy; even Dumbledore believed that love was the most powerful force in the world.
In fact, Voldemort himself had come to accept this by now.
Because he had been crushed by love once before!
Andy and Dumbledore working together... To be honest, Voldemort didn't have a single shred of confidence.
After a moment of silence, Voldemort suddenly turned his head to the east.
That was the direction of the European continent!
There was a wider world and a freer sky. Most importantly, there was no Andy or Dumbledore there.
But Voldemort's influence lay in Britain, and if he went to Europe, he would have to start all over again.
After thinking about it, Voldemort decided to wait.
He has a plan, and if it works, he might be able to get rid of either Andy or Dumbledore.
In addition, he could also provoke a rift between the two.
Once Andy and Dumbledore turned against each other, he could take advantage of the situation.
However...
Voldemort pondered for a moment.
He also needs to lay the necessary groundwork in Europe in advance!
Once his plan for the British magical community failed, he would have to go to other European countries, to a new world without Andy and Dumbledore.
***
After the Time Turner stopped ticking, Andy lay on the bed, reflecting on tonight's actions.
He actually understood why Dumbledore didn't want him to participate in the battle at the Ministry of Magic.
It was because Snape was the person leading the operation.
Once Snape put on the mask... Dumbledore was worried that Andy would start with the Killing Curse.
Because Andy had done this before.
Even if he doesn't use a killing curse, Andy's other spells are also lethal.
So instead of gambling on Snape's luck, it's better to keep Andy at the World Cup venue to prevent even greater chaos there.
As for the Ministry of Magic battle, there's not much to say.
Although duels and group battles are different for wizards, with Andy's current magical prowess, a single Shield Charm is enough to deal with all standard spells.
Apparition can also be used in battle.
In addition, the Fiendfyre Curse is a great killer in group battles.
Thank you, Grindelwald.
At present, although Andy dares not say that he is invincible and the best in the world, he is more than capable of defending himself.
"Hoo——"
After analysing the battle tonight, Andy began to sum up his gains for the night.
The biggest gain tonight is undoubtedly getting Voldemort's severed arm—many questions can be answered once the secret surrounding Voldemort is revealed.
Magic Transfiguration, magical life, and even the origin of magic and the soul... Perhaps the answers to these questions can be found in Voldemort's body.
However, research in this area will still have to rely on Snape.
Andy decides to share a little of his blood with him.
As for Andy's own personal research...
Well... before he can start his research properly, Andy still needs to go to the library to fill in some gaps in his relevant knowledge.
After organising his thoughts about what he'd learnt tonight, Andy closed his eyes contentedly.
Time to sleep!
***
The next morning, Andy was woken up by the noise outside his room.
After getting dressed and stepping out of his room, Andy glanced downstairs and asked, "What's going on out there? Why is it so noisy?"
"..."
There was silence in the living room for a while.
"Everyone is packing..."
Hermione looked up at Andy and said helplessly, "And...it's already past ten o'clock."
Andy: "..."
It's already past ten o'clock?
Andy came back to his senses.
Indeed, it was time to go home today.
"Take your time packing; I'm going to take a shower." Andy rubbed his eyes and planned to freshen up with a shower.
Hermione looked at the group and couldn't help but admit, "He's pretty lazy in the morning."
***
At lunchtime, the group had a meal together in the tent, and then they went their separate ways.
Andy took Hermione to London, and they watched the latest film and had dinner together.
If he weren't still so young, Andy wouldn't have thought of going home tonight.
It's so much fun being out... right?
It was already past nine when Andy arrived home.
"What took you so long?" Kyle asked, sitting on the sofa reading a book.
He had asked Mr Weasley, and they had returned at lunchtime.
"I had a date," Andy said.
Oh...
Kyle's eyebrows shot up. "So, why are you back?"
Andy: "..."
"I'm fourteen," Andy reminded him.
"Fourteen... that's a bit young?" Kyle nodded with understanding.
"What about you? Why aren't you sleeping?"
Andy looked in the direction of the stairs and asked, "Kicked out?"
There wasn't much entertainment at night in the wizarding world, so everyone was used to going to bed early.
"Not sleepy yet,"
Kyle said, putting down his book and getting up. "But I'm a bit sleepy now... goodnight."
"Goodnight," said Andy.
After Kyle left, Andy prepared to wash up and go to bed, but then he noticed a copy of the latest edition of the Daily Prophet on the coffee table.
He had almost forgotten that he hadn't read today's newspaper yet.
Andy picked up the newspaper, and sure enough, the front-page headline was about last night's battle at the Ministry of Magic.
The report was detailed and informative, and there were even dynamic pictures of the Aurors restraining the Death Eaters and Dumbledore defeating Voldemort.
The main focus was on how easily Voldemort had been defeated.
As for the chaos at the World Cup venue, it was only mentioned briefly in the margins of the newspaper, and the report was vague, without even a picture.
After thinking about it, Andy found the article written by Rita Skeeter.
