"Hm! That's true. You're absolutely right!" Andy nodded as if he agreed with Voldemort's words.
There are only five people in the manor now.
Andy, Voldemort, Dumbledore, Harry, and Snape.
In terms of strength, Harry might be able to fight Voldemort, but he would be no match for Andy, and it would be a kindness if Andy killed Harry with just one spell.
To deal with Harry, Andy only needs the aftereffects of a spell.
As for Snape... although he is strong, compared to Andy, Voldemort, and Dumbledore, his strength is far from enough to be taken seriously.
Once Andy and Voldemort join forces, the real enemy is only Dumbledore.
After killing Dumbledore, there will be no one to challenge them in the entire British wizarding world.
"Collins!"
Snape's expression changed, and he even looked a little frightened.
"Don't believe what the Dark Lord says. He won't share his power with anyone."
Snape said hastily. "Trust me! If Dumbledore dies, the Dark Lord's next target will definitely be you!"
Voldemort's lips twitched slightly, and a terrifying gleam flashed in his eyes.
Only those who have experienced despair can understand the value of hope.
Andy's words undoubtedly gave Voldemort hope for survival.
He couldn't wait to team up with Andy.
"Severus, it's not that I don't want to share the secret of eternal life with you. But you must understand… There are certain qualifications required before you can know such great secrets."
Voldemort said in a bewitching tone. "Collins, let's unite! Together we can share eternal life and all the power in the wizarding world."
"All this is within our grasp if we unite!"
This sudden turn of events also attracted the attention of Harry and Dumbledore.
However, compared to Snape, Harry had complete trust in Andy and believed that Andy would never betray them.
"Harry, have you made up your mind yet?" Dumbledore asked in a calm tone.
Harry nodded with a solemn expression, "Professor, we can start at any time!"
He is Voldemort's Horcrux...
Harry already thought of this possibility when learning about that snake.
Therefore, he had already mentally prepared himself.
If he didn't have a special connection, how could he have seen Voldemort's memories?
Harry could accept his fate, whether it was life or death.
Fortunately...
Harry looked at Dumbledore with bright eyes.
Without Harry knowing, Andy, Snape, and Dumbledore were all working hard for him.
So Harry believes in them, too!
Dumbledore nodded with relief and said in a soft but firm tone, "Harry, although you are not affected by the magic of the Horcrux, the soul fragments of Voldemort have become intertwined with your soul after such a long time."
"Fortunately…you are still protected by Lily's love."
Patting Harry on the shoulder, Dumbledore continued, "Harry, although I will protect your soul, you must also have firm faith and not lose yourself in painful memories."
"Dementors… You have encountered them before and should know how terrifying they are."
Harry nodded solemnly, "Professor, I am ready. Let's begin!"
"Good!" Dumbledore said gently.
As for Andy's conversation with Voldemort... Dumbledore heard it, but he didn't care.
Just as there are a thousand versions of Hamlet in a thousand people's minds, there are also different versions of Andy in different people's minds.
In Harry's mind, Andy was a close friend who had helped him many times and saved him many times. Although this friend mostly appeared cold, Harry was willing to believe in him.
In Dumbledore's eyes, Andy is a wizard who is extremely obsessed with magic. Apart from magic, perhaps only his family can make Andy care a little.
But in the eyes of Snape and Voldemort, it is completely different.
In Snape's view, Andy is basically a Dark Lord candidate.
Sooner or later, Andy will become an even more terrifying Dark Lord than Grindelwald and Voldemort.
Voldemort saw it the same way.
That was why they believed Andy.
"They've started..."
Andy smiled faintly as he glanced back at Harry and Dumbledore. "Mr Riddle, before we officially cooperate, I hope I can see some sincerity."
Snape slowly took two steps back, positioning himself between Andy and Dumbledore.
If Andy suddenly attacked, he hoped he could buy some time, giving Harry and Dumbledore a chance to leave.
Of course, there was still a glimmer of hope in Snape's heart.
He hoped that Andy was deceiving Voldemort.
But the possibility was too low.
Snape had seen Andy fight Voldemort, and Andy's magical power was overwhelmingly superior. Under such conditions, there was no need for Andy to deceive Voldemort at all.
He could simply attack him and be done with it!
As for Andy's question about the 'feelings of splitting a soul'... to be honest, Snape didn't believe it at all.
With Andy's magical prowess, creating a Horcrux would be a breeze.
The feelings of splitting a soul... Snape didn't think it was such important information.
Voldemort's eyes flickered. "Collins, I can tell you how to make a Horcrux."
"No, no, no!"
Andy waved his hand with a smile, "I just want to know what it feels like to split a soul. Hmm...it'd be better if you could be more descriptive."
While the two were talking, Dumbledore had already left the hall with Harry.
Voldemort's eyes flashed with a trace of urgency.
Harry is his last Horcrux.
Once Harry, the Horcrux, was destroyed, he would become mortal and could be killed.
Voldemort could not accept that!
Perhaps...
Voldemort's eyes fixed on Andy.
Andy not only wanted to kill Dumbledore; he also wanted to kill him and everyone here.
As long as everyone died, no one would know what Andy had done.
After leaving here, Andy could simply say that Dumbledore had died with Voldemort.
At that point, Andy would become the most powerful person in the British wizarding world, and no one would be able to stop him from doing whatever he wanted.
At this thought, Voldemort looked around.
In fact, this was what he had been thinking.
A three-way battle, so it would depend on who had the better tactics!
"Of course..."
Voldemort let out a cold smile.
Since both parties tacitly agreed to kill everyone except themselves, there was no harm in exchanging some thoughts on magic with Andy before the formal showdown.
Especially since...
Voldemort felt that Andy's strength was still above his.
If the Horcrux could tempt Andy, then even if he ultimately failed, there would still be the possibility of them cooperating.
