By tomorrow, when I get to know a little bit about what happened and the severity of Malfoy's injuries, this matter will have nothing to do with Andy.

"If Malfoy is the problem, then what magic is causing it?"

Andy guessed secretly.

"Or...what is the other party's purpose?"

There is no doubt that Quirrell's purpose is to steal the Philosopher's Stone, which is hidden under the trapdoor in the corridor on the fourth floor of the castle.

"wrong!"

Andy suddenly realized that Dumbledore might not have put the Philosopher's Stone in there.

Quirrell...or rather, does Voldemort know?

Maybe you know, maybe you don’t!

Malfoy is attacked, and all the professors are led to the basement...

"So, there is at least one more person in the castle, and he needs to go to the corridor on the fourth floor to find out what's going on!"

"But that's impossible!"

"Such an aboveboard action, are you treating Dumbledore as a fool?"

Andy thought about it for a long time and gradually figured out the clues.

As long as Dumbledore was at Hogwarts, the other party could not act.

Then the other party's only purpose may be to divert attention or even create a mental inertia, making the people in the castle think that the attack will continue.

And when everyone focuses on the attack, they naturally ignore other things.

"But... then what?" Andy frowned slightly.

Quirrell wasn't at Hogwarts, so how could he steal the Philosopher's Stone?

"Are you thinking about the attack?" Hermione asked suddenly.

"Yes! After all, the attack happened in school, we always have to find out about it." Andy nodded.

"With Dumbledore here, they will cure Malfoy," said Hermione.

Cured?

Andy had a flash of inspiration.

Draco Malfoy is the only heir of the Malfoy family. Given how much old Malfoy cares about him, how could he allow Malfoy to stay in the school infirmary for treatment?

Even if the injury is not serious, as long as it is an injury caused by magic, Malfoy will be transferred to St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries for re-examination.

And in this way, Quirrell...or rather, Voldemort, can get back in.

"That's how it should be!"

Andy was almost certain.

Quirrell's goal is to get back into Hogwarts through Malfoy.

As long as Malfoy was transferred to another hospital, his plan would be considered a success.

Thinking of this, Andy breathed a sigh of relief.

At least Hogwarts is safe for now!

As for matters such as the Philosopher's Stone, Quirrell, and Voldemort, let Dumbledore worry about them!

Who cares whether Voldemort can be resurrected!

Seeing Andy's expression change, Hermione asked quickly, "Andy, have you thought of anything?"

"how is this possible?"

Andy denied it, "I'm just a little wizard. You should ask Dumbledore this question."

Hermione clearly didn't believe it.

She knew Andy very well. Andy had been thinking about Malfoy's attack before, but suddenly he stopped thinking about it. So the only answer was that Andy had figured it out.

This is almost exactly the same as when Andy was learning magic.

the other side.

Dumbledore came to the basement with a group of professors.

Malfoy was lying on the cold ground, his whole body stiff and hot, with a dark aura on his face.

Dumbledore poked Malfoy with his wand and drew out a cloud of black mist.

"Albus?" Professor McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with a worried look on her face.

"Very sophisticated dark magic!" Dumbledore said in a deep voice.

Snape also went up to check, and then frowned.

This level of black magic is not something that ordinary people can perform.

And the person who did it did not take Malfoy's life.

After Dumbledore's initial treatment, the impact of the dark magic has been greatly weakened.

It's just that Malfoy will need to rest for a long time before he can recover.

"Who do you think did it?" demanded Professor McGonagall.

"Obviously, with Potter and Weasley's level, they can't do that."

Snape showed a mocking look on his face, "But they are still suspicious. Maybe they are the ones who led Malfoy here."

Dumbledore spoke slowly, "We all know it wasn't them."

After a pause, Dumbledore continued, "Investigating the truth is what we have to do next. As for now... we need to send Malfoy to the school infirmary for treatment."

Chapter 53 No One Can Do Everything

School doctor's office.

Madam Pomfrey gave Malfoy a thorough examination.

"Oh! Merlin's beard, what happened?"

Madam Pomfrey said in shock: "This is very evil dark magic. How could someone use this kind of magic on a little wizard?"

"Poppy, how is Malfoy now?" Professor McGonagall asked hurriedly.

Pomfrey looked distressed. She shook her head and said, "The situation is very bad. There is still damage from the dark arts in his body. It is not easy to cure. I need some special potions."

Dumbledore turned to look at Snape.

Snape said calmly: "Leave it to me!"

Dumbledore nodded, "Okay, let's go out first. The child needs to rest now."

The group arrived outside the school infirmary and saw Professor Tang En coming down from the third floor. He nodded to Dumbledore and then said, "During the banquet, only Mr. Filch was absent. Although Ms. Pomfrey left early,... the time doesn't match."

Everyone looked at each other.

Filch was a Squib, and even if he had some dark magic items in his hands, it would be difficult for him to attack the young wizards.

Besides, he had no reason to do so.

Dumbledore's eyes were serious.

In fact, he already had some suspicions in his heart, but he was not sure how the other party did it and what his purpose was.

But there is no doubt that the other party has not given up the intention of stealing the Philosopher's Stone.

"Okay, Minerva, take the professors to search the castle first. Don't miss any corner. Ask the ghosts in the castle to help as well."

Dumbledore arranged, "Severus, come with me to the headmaster's office."

Snape glanced at Dumbledore.

He felt that Dumbledore already knew who the murderer was, but after thinking about it, Snape didn't say much.

Principal room.

There were no outsiders here, so Snape asked straight to the point: "Do you know who the murderer is?"

"Ah! Yes, I have guessed something of it."

Dumbledore sat on the chair, crossed his hands on the table, and stared at Snape. "It's just that I don't know how he did it yet, nor do I know what his intention is..."

"Severus, has Malfoy done anything unusual recently?"

Snape thought for a moment, "No!"

Dumbledore closed his eyes in thought.

He knew who did it and what the other party's ultimate goal was, but he couldn't figure out how the other party would achieve his goal by attacking Malfoy.

There shouldn't be any accomplices to him in the castle.

Snape was a little impatient, "Principal Dumbledore, who is the murderer?"

"Quirinus Quirrell!" Dumbledore did not hide it.

"It's him?"

Snape was a little confused. "He has been away from Hogwarts for more than a month. I know his abilities. He can't do this. The Dark Lord has also lost his power..."

As one of Dumbledore's right-hand men, Snape knew a lot of secret things, and Dumbledore would also entrust Snape with matters related to Voldemort.

To put it simply, Professor McGonagall is responsible for managing all matters related to Hogwarts, while some dirty, tiring and dangerous work is left to Snape.

That's fair!

Who said Snape wasn't the vice-headmaster?

"Maybe he arranged some means before he left."

Dumbledore said frankly: "On the day he left, I unexpectedly discovered... Voldemort was possessed by him."

Snape: "..."

He now wanted to pry open Dumbledore's skull and see what was going on inside.

Are you suffering from Alzheimer's?

Now that you have discovered Voldemort, why don't you keep him?

Snape not only thought so, he also asked so.

"Then why didn't you catch him?"

Snape simply couldn't understand, "With your ability, it should be enough to do this."

"No, Severus, I can't!"

Dumbledore's eyes were calm and his voice was gentle: "Although I have made some achievements in magic, I am not omnipotent, and no one in this world can be omnipotent."

"Voldemort's current state is very special. He is between existence and non-existence. Although he has lost his power, he is also immune to a lot of magical damage."

Snape was gasping for breath, he didn't believe Dumbledore's nonsense at all.

Dumbledore continued: "So I gave up at that time, but... Voldemort obviously did not give up."

Snape frowned and said, "But he has left the school!"

Dumbledore was a little distressed. "This is also what confuses me the most. Why did he attack Malfoy?"

Snape seemed to have thought of something, his eyes were a little serious, "I know Lucius, Malfoy was attacked in school, he will definitely take Malfoy out to recuperate."

Dumbledore looked up at Snape.

If that's the case, things are a bit bad.

Lucius Malfoy was a Death Eater, so obviously he couldn't be told that Voldemort was still alive.

But in this way, it would be difficult for Dumbledore to interfere in Malfoy's affairs.

And once Quirrell found the opportunity, he could return to Hogwarts through Malfoy - he even only needed a space extension spell to do it.

Dumbledore was silent for a moment. "If that's the case, at least Malfoy won't be in danger."

Snape was almost mad at him, "You still want the Dark Lord to return to Hogwarts?"
