Hermione nodded, then turned to look in the direction of the professor's chair. Andy was influenced and followed Hermione's gaze.

Snape happened to look at the two of them.

Andy and Snape looked at each other, opened their mouths, made a 'SB' shape with their mouths, and then turned around quickly.

Snape was stunned. What does 'SB' mean?

password?

Or are you reminding him of something?

Snape narrowed his eyes slightly. What did Collins mean?

Compared to other little wizards, Andy obviously knows more truth.

Now that the Forbidden Forest is on fire, Quirrell is likely to take action. Snape obviously doesn't think Andy will make a meaningless move at this time.

The English word for Snape starts with 'S', so what is the word that starts with 'B'?

There were so many words starting with 'B' that Snape couldn't figure out what Andy wanted to tell him.

"If it's an important matter, Collins should report it directly to the professor..."

Snape frowned slightly. He was a proud man. If 'SB' was really some kind of code, he would rather spend more time studying it than ask Andy directly.

The moment Andy turned his head, the hair on his back stood up.

Scared me!

When he was in school, Andy would occasionally look around in class. If he happened to make eye contact with a classmate he was close to, he would mouth curses, but it was just a joke between friends.

I didn't expect to scold Snape today.

Or he scolded me in person.

Fortunately, Snape didn't know what 'SB' meant, otherwise he might have given Andy an Avada look.

While waiting in the auditorium, students returned one after another.

Many people are curious about what happened in the Forbidden Forest and why Headmaster Dumbledore has not appeared yet.

Is he fighting an enemy in the Forbidden Forest?

Or are you being held back by things?

As the professor stopped maintaining order, the auditorium gradually began to buzz with discussion. Everyone was discussing the Forbidden Forest with the people around them, and all kinds of strange and bizarre speculations came up.

Some people say it was an invasion by dark wizards.

Some say it's a vampire.

Others said it was a werewolf riot.

Giants and trolls naturally couldn't escape either. The most outrageous thing was that some people speculated that Dumbledore and the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic had a fight.

"Headmaster Dumbledore hasn't fought for decades. No one knows how strong he is now. Maybe he is too old to fight anymore."

"Impossible. Headmaster Dumbledore is the greatest wizard of the 20th century and the person the You-Know-Who fears the most. No one can defeat him."

"..."

Andy listened for a long time and found that many young wizards were guessing that the reason Dumbledore did not show up was that he must be fighting with the enemy in the Forbidden Forest.

That fire is proof of that!

Some people said that it was a fire spell cast by Dumbledore, and flames rose into the sky in the Forbidden Forest, and even the clouds in the sky were blown away by the flames.

Andy had to admit that Hogwarts was indeed the birthplace of rumors, and the ideas of these unreliable little wizards were simply fantastic.

About half an hour later, Professor McGonagall came back.

She walked quickly across the long table to the professors' seats, where Flitwick and Snape also gathered.

"Are all the students here?" asked Professor McGonagall.

"I just counted them, they're all here!" said Flitwick.

"That's good!"

Professor McGonagall was visibly relieved, but then her face showed sadness. "Twain was sent back by Hagrid. He is now in the school infirmary. His condition is very bad."

"Hmm?" Snape was still thinking about the 'SB' matter. He finally came back to his senses when he heard the name Tang En.

"He was attacked by dark magic and was badly injured."

Professor McGonagall seemed reluctant, "Madam Pomfrey examined him. Don was tortured with the Cruciatus Curse."

Snape's pupils shrank slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. "Cruciatus Curse?"

Professor McGonagall said, "Albus has gone to the Forbidden Forest. Hopefully he can catch the murderer."

Snape looked grim.

Having experienced the last war, he knew very well that few wizards could withstand the torture of the Cruciatus Curse.

Tang En was only hit by the Cruciatus Curse, but not the Killing Curse...

Snape could only think of two possibilities.

Either Don refused to confess, or Voldemort tampered with Don's memory when he was unconscious.

Although Dumbledore is also proficient in memory magic, tampering with memory is much easier than sorting it out.

"Who set the fire in the Forbidden Forest?" asked Snape.

"It's Don. I checked his wand."

Professor McGonagall explained: "Maybe he set the fire to get help."

Snape: "..."

If the person leading the action is Quirrell, then this is possible.

But if the person leading the action was Voldemort, then Don must have betrayed - whether he wanted to or not.

What on earth is Dumbledore doing?

Snape was a little annoyed. After all, it was too risky to fight Voldemort in school.

One moment of negligence could lead to a student being attacked by Voldemort.

Snape really couldn't figure out what was going on in Dumbledore's mind.

Dumbledore, who was criticized by Snape, is now deep in the Forbidden Forest, using magic to track Quirrell.

Compared to the others, Dumbledore was obviously the angriest.

Tang En was the professor he invited, and Quirrell was hiding in the Forbidden Forest with his connivance.

But he didn't expect that Tang En would be attacked by Qi Luo.

This undoubtedly broke the tacit balance between Dumbledore and Voldemort.

Once the balance is broken, the consequences will be catastrophic.

Voldemort will no longer have any scruples in his actions from now on.

It was for this reason that Dumbledore finally made up his mind.

He will cast a spell himself tonight to kill Quirrell!

Chapter 87 The Desperate Savior

Forbidden Forest, huge trees block out the sun.

A milky white ball of light was floating in the dark woods, emitting dazzling light and illuminating the surrounding ground.

Under the illumination of the light ball, a row of golden footprints emerged in the black soil.

Dumbledore stepped forward for a quick inspection.

"…It is indeed Quirinus Quirrell!"

Dumbledore held his wand and pointed around.

Starting from the first footprint, a row of footprints appeared on the ground one after another.

The ball of light floated in front, and Dumbledore followed behind, slowly moving forward along the footprints.

After walking for about ten minutes, Dumbledore walked out of the Forbidden Forest.

"Did you go to the castle?" Dumbledore asked seriously.

The footprints started from where Tang En was attacked and spread towards the castle.

Judging from these clues alone, there is no doubt that Quirrell took the opportunity to sneak back into the castle.

But Dumbledore didn't think so.

Just as Snape knew Voldemort well, Dumbledore also knew Voldemort well. Dumbledore had been studying Voldemort since his initial rise.

His personality, habits, magic, and the secret of immortality.

It can even be said that Dumbledore understands Voldemort better than Voldemort himself.

If Voldemort was the one who led this operation, then there is no way that Voldemort could sneak back into the castle at this time.

Because doing so is like walking a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

Even if Voldemort has recovered some of his strength, he can only live in Quirrell's body. Voldemort will never waste his strength until the critical moment.

At this moment, the professors in the castle were more vigilant than ever.

Voldemort didn't stand a chance.

"So…what are you going to do, Tom?"

Dumbledore's eyes flickered slightly behind his glasses.

How will Tom Riddle, the best student at Hogwarts in a hundred years, deal with his headmaster this time?

Although he knew it was all a hoax, Dumbledore continued to move forward along the footprints.

The castle was getting closer.

Under the illumination of the milky white light, golden footprints spread all the way and walked into the castle gate.

"It looks like you're losing your patience!"

Dumbledore laughed and shook his head. He already had some idea.

Many people believe that Voldemort is synonymous with cruelty, ruthlessness, and killing.

But few people know that during his student days, Voldemort was not only handsome and gentle, but also good at understanding people's hearts and winning over his followers.

He formed the original group of Death Eaters while he was a student.

If you compare Voldemort's school days with his future self, no one would think they are the same person.

What kind of black magic could change a person so beyond recognition?

This time, observing Voldemort up close, Dumbledore finally had some clues.

Black magic does affect a person's personality and habits, but there are some things that cannot be affected by black magic.

Tom Riddle was once very patient, and his disguise even fooled all the professors at Hogwarts - except Dumbledore.

But Voldemort was extremely impatient, and even the smallest thing was enough to make him angry.

Dumbledore didn't think the Dark Arts could affect a person to this extent.

Unless... Voldemort used dark magic to transform his soul.

And now, he still needs a decisive evidence!

Dumbledore waved his wand, the milky white light ball automatically extinguished, and the golden footprints on the ground also disappeared.

Looking back in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, Dumbledore walked quickly into the castle.

hall.

When Dumbledore appeared, all the little wizards became quiet, and the original buzzing sound seemed to be extinguished in an instant.

Dumbledore walked quickly up to the platform and turned to face the group of young wizards.

"Unfortunately, our Professor Tony Twain encountered some trouble in the Forbidden Forest while looking for teaching materials..."
