The decisive answer made Avada stunned for a moment. He looked up in surprise and met Baron's firm gaze.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't - after all, he is also a professor who taught me for half a year, and he did show full sincerity just now. Personally, I am willing to trust him."
Baron's tone was a little low: "But, choosing to trust him is not just my business, or even a matter between you and me... Who knows if what Professor Baker said just now is true? Who knows what his true face is? Who knows if he will secretly interfere and guide us to do something harmful to others if we agree to help him?"
"There is no way, he is much stronger than us, and there are too many ways to induce and deceive us... Even before he proposed to use a contract to restrain himself, it may be because he actually has the means to counter the contract that he dares to propose such a condition!"
Avada smiled bitterly in his heart. He could see clearly where Professor Baker hid his "brain", so he could try to believe this "thing that can think independently". But this was just the result of his unreasonable talent seeing through the essence of Professor Baker's mental power, but he couldn't prove it to anyone.
human body's mental power, and there would be some induction between each other. In other words, once Professor Baker wanted to tamper with his mark, he would be able to sense it immediately. And if Professor Baker had a way to block this induction - treat his magic senses as a decoration?
As long as he found something wrong, he would go to Dumbledore immediately.
But if Baron was unwilling to provide the contract, he would not dare to help a mysterious wizard who was much stronger than him without any precautions - what if his family changed their minds halfway?
"So you plan to tell Professor Dumbledore about this?" He asked helplessly.
To be honest, Avada and Professor Baker had the same idea at this point, and they didn't want to go to Dumbledore unless it was absolutely necessary.
Even if he knew that if Dumbledore could confirm that Professor Baker had not done evil, he would most likely help Professor Baker conceal the matter; even if this would help Dumbledore think of the Horcrux in advance, and then greatly speed up the progress of Voldemort's demise; even before he knew Professor Baker's sincerity, he once wanted to ask Dumbledore for help.
This is not the fate of a person who has not done evil.
"I won't tell others."
At this time, Baron suddenly spoke up and answered Avada's previous question.
"Huh?" Avada frowned in confusion.
"I just said that I can't confirm the truth of what Professor Baker said, so I dare not trust him. But what if what he said is true? Then won't my actions cause an innocent person to suffer an unwarranted disaster?" Baron said seriously.
"Then what are you going to do?" Avada asked with some curiosity.
"I will apply to the professor for temporary leave." He said, "After returning home, I will try to confirm whether there is any possibility of exploiting the mental imprint contract. If there is, I will tell the professors the whole story; if not..." "
If not, I will ask my house elf to cooperate with me and make a most comprehensive contract without telling my parents, which can guarantee that Professor Baker can be completely bound, and then return to school after Christmas and present it to Professor Baker."
"Sounds good."
Avada nodded in approval.
"And if Professor Baker really has some ulterior motives, and originally just wanted to exploit the loopholes in the contract, but after seeing the absolutely comprehensive contract, he realized that his intentions were exposed, so he directly trapped me and forced me to make an unbreakable oath, or even used some hidden means to attack me directly..."
"After I return to school, I will leave a letter for help in the dormitory in advance, which will fully record the whole process. If I don't return to deal with it within two days, it will automatically run to a conspicuous place and open it."
Baron smiled confidently.
"Are you planning to take all the risks on yourself?" Avada frowned, noticing that Baron had just used the word "I" instead of "we".
"This is my responsibility."
"What responsibility do you have? You're just a first-year student!"
"I'm still a pure blood, and a Slytherin. Protecting the wizarding world, protecting wizards, and protecting innocent people are all my responsibilities. Maybe I can push these responsibilities to those who are stronger than me, but if I do this now, maybe an innocent person will suffer - this is the only choice."
"If Professor Baker is really innocent and his needs are completely reasonable, I should do my best to help him. And not only him, but also anyone."
"This is the inherent responsibility of a pure-blood family, and it is also the price we should pay for enjoying wealth and honor beyond ordinary people."
Avada was silent for a while.
He wanted to tell Baron at this moment that his greatest duty was to protect himself and reassure those who cared about him, rather than putting others above himself, taking risks at will, and squandering his own safety and life.
However, the choice made by Baron at this moment happened to be the most in line with Avada's needs: solve this matter secretly by himself, and don't let Dumbledore come into contact with the Horcrux at this time.
He looked at Baron's clear and firm eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty in his heart.
He was using Baron.
Moreover, Baron didn't have to be involved in this matter - if he hadn't had a sudden idea to tell Baron about the Room of Requirement, this matter should have been borne by Avada alone.
"Then at least take me with you."
He said somewhat weakly: "After all, I am also a participant and insider of this matter. I have the right and responsibility to share the risk with you. And you can't let me watch my friend take risks while you stand aside and do nothing."
"That's easy."
Baron finally nodded, although he still had a stern face: "Let's go downstairs first. It's not a good idea to stay here and argue."
"That's right."
Avada smiled and turned to walk towards the stairs.
"Obligate!"
"Armor!"
Almost in the next second, in a flash, the two first-year students staged a round of magic attack and defense that would make the professors drop their jaws.
From Baron's sudden change of attitude to his surging mental power, how could Avada not know what he was planning?
However, Baron actually mastered the Obliviate spell in his first year, which surprised him a little.
"You should try to trust and acknowledge others."
Avada looked into Baron's eyes and said calmly, "Not everyone needs your protection and help. Besides, you can't protect everyone. You are being arrogant."
"You can't bear the risks of this alone. Now you need my help."
"You..."
Baron looked at Avada, who had a serious expression but a hint of smile in the corner of his eyes, and the thick light blue barrier in front of him with a complicated expression, and finally slowly put away his wand.
"Okay."
Then he passed by Avada without saying a word and walked down the stairs first.
Avada watched Baron's back disappear around the corner, then turned around, took a deep look at the deepest part of the corridor on the eighth floor, and quickly followed Baron's footsteps.
The principal's office of Hogwarts is on the eighth floor.
