Andy was indeed a bit tense these past two days.
Because Hermione's prophecy had indeed put some pressure on Andy.
People are always afraid of the unknown.
Fate...is an unknown power for Andy!
But once Andy started the experiment of dark magic transfiguration, all the pressure and fear suddenly disappeared.
Now that he has made a choice, no matter what the future may hold, Andy will face it with an open mind.
Just as Dumbledore said:
Face it and respond accordingly.
Whether it's defying fate or flying into the fire, it's a choice we make ourselves, so there should be no regrets.
Andy didn't know if he would regret it in the future. But if he didn't experiment now, Andy figured he would definitely regret it.
After lunch, Andy went to the restricted section of the library again to find some books on prophecy and curses.
At the moment, Andy has very little room for improvement in the field of traditional spells and transfiguration.
Of course, he can continue to learn.
But slow progress means that the accumulation of [Potential Points] will slow down. Without [Potential Points], Andy cannot improve his talent.
Learning dark magic can help him quickly accumulate [Potential Points], but Andy does not plan to study dark magic until his [Will] attribute reaches level 6.
So magic in the fields of astrology, divination and curses became Andy's new goal.
Magic in these fields is all about fate.
Forecasting the future, peering into fate, and even interfering with fate.
The most basic curse can only make someone unlucky for a period of time, while a powerful curse can even kill someone or interfere with the normal functioning of an object.
For example, the curse Voldemort placed on the Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
It's just that at Hogwarts, there is obviously no target to practice on with curses – Andy can't possibly curse his classmates, or the professors, or Dumbledore, can he?
Thinking about the person he had locked up.
Andy felt that after the end of the Dark Magic Transfiguration experiment, he could use Reed to practice curse magic.
After selecting a few books, Andy found a quiet corner to read.
"Curses?"
Hermione was a little surprised to see the books Andy had chosen.
She looked around and then asked in a low voice, "Andy, why are you suddenly interested in curse magic? That's very evil magic!"
Andy took out his wand and waved it around a little, then said with a smile, "You can talk freely now. It won't disturb anyone, and Madam Pince won't notice us."
"Predicting the future, interfering with fate..."
"In my opinion, divination and curses are both in the domain of fate magic. As long as you don't use curses to harm people, it's not evil."
Hermione looked a little conflicted.
Andy continued, "If something that can harm people is evil, then the weapons invented by Muggles can kill a lot of people... Those weapons can kill people much faster than using curses."
"In my opinion, power is not evil, only the person using the power is evil."
"Okay!" Hermione felt a little persuaded.
The young witch changed her line of argument, "So... you want to study magic that interferes with fate?"
"It's interesting, isn't it?" Andy laughed.
"Right!"
Speaking of which, Andy suddenly remembered something—an inspiration that had suddenly come to him.
Could the Invisibility Cloak resist Voldemort's curse?
Thinking about this, Andy quickly got up and said, "Hermione, I have to go to the Headmaster's office for something. These books...please keep an eye on them for me."
"No problem!" Hermione gave an 'OK' sign.
"Thanks!" Andy smiled.
As soon as he walked out of the library, Andy saw Malfoy walking towards him. "Collins, I knew you would be here! I want to talk to you about something."
After saying this, Malfoy pretended to look around, indicating that this was not the place to talk.
Andy: "..."
Okay!
"Let's find an abandoned classroom!" After saying this, Andy led the way upstairs.
"We can go outside the castle," Malfoy suggested.
"It's Saturday,"
Andy said, pushing open the door to a classroom, "Hurry up and get in."
After Malfoy had entered the classroom, Andy waved his wand to lock the door and then added an Imperturbable Charm.
After doing all this, Andy looked at Malfoy and asked, "What is it?"
Malfoy's face was pale as paper, and he looked a little nervous and excited; as if they were doing something very remarkable.
"Just now... Professor Snape came to see me,"
Malfoy looked a little solemn. "He told me... he said you were dangerous and told me to stay away from you. Collins, Professor Snape may know your secret."
"He's a Death Eater and has always been loyal to the Dark Lord. If my father has defected to Dumbledore, maybe, maybe, he will betray Professor Snape."
Andy: "..."
You really should listen to the Professor!
"What do you think?"
Andy asked curiously, "Kill Snape outright?"
"No, no! I don't have that kind of idea." Malfoy's face turned even paler.
Malfoy was quite shocked.
He had actually heard Snape say, 'Andy Collins is a very dangerous person.'
Snape told Malfoy to stay away from Andy!
God knows how excited Malfoy was after hearing those words.
Severus Snape!
Not only was he the Potions professor, he was also the Slytherin House Head and a Death Eater lurking in the shadows of Dumbledore.
As far as Malfoy knew, Snape was also secretly plotting to resurrect Voldemort.
Yet someone like Snape could actually find a third-year wizard dangerous?
Malfoy found this outrageous, but his heart was racing.
After all, the more powerful Andy turned out to be, the more proof there was that he had made the right choice – that Andy Collins would become the most powerful Dark Lord the wizarding world had ever seen.
So Malfoy couldn't wait to find Andy and decisively betray Snape.
Andy thought for a moment, then said indifferently, "Snape is not a concern. He is helping Voldemort to resurrect, and that is exactly what I need."
"For the time being, you don't need to worry about him. Just do your own thing."
"Yes, yes!"
Malfoy solemnly responded, and then said with some fear, "Collins, you...you want to resurrect the You-Know-Who to...to deal with Dumbledore?"
Andy: "..."
"Don't think too much!"
Andy tried his best to maintain his image in Malfoy's mind and said with a playful tone, "I'm not some evil person, so why would I plot against Professor Dumbledore?"
