Chapter 674: Professor McGonagall's foresight

"Hey!"

Hermione sighed softly.

Voldemort had just made a comeback in the British wizarding world when Grindelwald escaped from prison in Europe.

If these two join forces, I'm afraid that not only the wizarding world, but even the Muggle world will be in turmoil.

Although Voldemort has restrained himself a lot during this period, many of his Death Eaters still enjoy torturing Muggles.

During the summer vacation at home, Hermione had read a lot of news about "terrorist attacks". Muggles might not understand, but as a witch, Hermione knew at a glance that it was the work of dark wizards.

Thinking of what Andy said...

Dumbledore will destroy Voldemort once and for all this year!

Hermione turned to look at Andy, hoping that Andy and Dumbledore could defeat Voldemort as soon as possible!

Andy flipped through the newspaper and looked at other reports.

However, the contents of the newspapers were basically the same. In the face of a major event like the "Battle of Diagon Alley" that shocked the entire wizarding world, some trivial matters could no longer be brought to the surface.

Putting down the newspaper, Andy opened the letter from home.

The letter from home contained the same content, and Kyle also talked about some things inside the Ministry of Magic in the letter.

After this defeat, people in the Ministry of Magic were in panic, and some people were even ready to resign and leave the British wizarding world. Some rumors unfavorable to Dumbledore were also spread privately.

Whatever Dumbledore's reasons, it is a fact that he did not participate in the Battle of Diagon Alley.

In fact, from an objective point of view, this matter cannot be blamed on Dumbledore at all.

Who doesn’t have some personal stuff to do…right?

Besides, Dumbledore was neither an Auror nor a slugger from the Department of Law Enforcement. He was just the headmaster of Hogwarts. From a positional perspective, he had no obligation to participate in the war.

But human hearts are so strange.

Kyle mentioned in the letter that many people in the Ministry of Magic blamed Dumbledore for the defeat.

They believed that the Ministry of Magic suffered heavy casualties entirely because Dumbledore did not show up, which allowed the Death Eaters led by Voldemort to defeat the Ministry of Magic head-on.

Kyle also told Andy to be careful of Dumbledore.

He felt that this old guy might not have any good intentions.

"Andy..."

Hermione pulled Andy's sleeve and raised her chin, motioning Andy to look over there.

Andy looked up.

I saw a girl crying sadly at the long table of Hufflepuff House, with a letter tightly clenched in her hand.

Andy lifted the silencing spell, and the noisy sounds in the auditorium suddenly came over.

"I know her..."

Hermione leaned close to Andy's ear and whispered, "Her name is Anna, she is a year older than us. Her father was an Auror, and it seems... he has died."

Andy sighed.

The Battle of Diagon Alley...

In terms of scale, the Battle of Diagon Alley could only be considered a small-scale conflict, with the total number of combatants on both sides probably less than 200.

But even if the scale is small, casualties are inevitable.

For those who have lost their loved ones, it may be a little unreasonable to vent their anger on Dumbledore, but that is human nature, and anger always needs an outlet.

Until they calm down, they probably won't listen to any reason.

Fortunately, this matter has nothing to do with Andy.

In this incident, Andy was just a spectator.

Suddenly there was a noisy sound behind him, and Andy turned around to look... As expected, Gryffindor and Slytherin were arguing again.

Harry and Ron are the main force of Gryffindor.

Malfoy did not participate... Ever since old Malfoy betrayed Voldemort, Malfoy has been excluded from the mainstream Slytherin circle.

Slytherin is now roughly divided into two factions.

One faction is the Death Eater reserve.

Another faction is the surrender faction headed by Malfoy.

Well... you can also say they are the resistance faction.

Not all snakes like Voldemort, they just simply desire power and worship the strong.

The two sides quarreled fiercely, and Andy could vaguely hear the names of "Dumbledore" and "Snape".

Patting Hermione's shoulder, Andy whispered, "Let's get out!"

The hall might not be peaceful next time, and Andy didn't want to get involved. Harry and Ron had terribly low emotional intelligence, and Andy was really afraid that they would say something without thinking and get themselves involved for no reason.

"Yeah!" Hermione nodded slightly.

As soon as Andy left the auditorium, he ran into Professor McGonagall.

Her face looked a little unhappy. "Mr. Collins, Miss Granger, there is no fight in there, right?"

Andy and Hermione looked at each other.

Professor McGonagall was so prescient.

"not yet……"

Andy quickly moved aside, "But it will be soon."

Professor McGonagall: "..."

If Gryffindor and Slytherin fight again, it will be the third time this year.

It’s not a big deal if you don’t win the college cup.

The scary thing is that the college ranks at the bottom every year.

What’s even more frightening is that we break records and rank last every year.

Professor McGonagall took two hurried steps, then suddenly stopped, turned to look at Andy and said, "Mr. Collins, please wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

After saying that, Professor McGonagall walked hurriedly towards the auditorium without waiting for Andy to answer.

Pushing open the door of the auditorium, Professor McGonagall looked around and her voice spread throughout the auditorium, "Quiet—"

"Okay..." Andy responded to Professor McGonagall.

Taking out a piece of clothing from the pocket of the space extension spell, Andy used transfiguration to turn the clothing into a bench.

"Hermione, let's sit down for a moment!"

Andy said: "It may take a lot of effort to appease the little wizard. We have to wait."

Hermione sat down with Andy, and then asked curiously: "Andy, what do you think Professor McGonagall wants to see you about?"

"It should be related to Dumbledore!"

Andy guessed, "But looking at Professor McGonagall's expression, she didn't seem to be planning to call me at first. I guess it's not something important."

"Hey!"

Hermione sighed softly, "I really hope that days like this will pass as soon as possible."

"almost!"

Andy leaned back in his chair and hugged Hermione. "Voldemort has caused such a big fuss this time that Dumbledore has no choice but to deal with him."

"Without dealing with Voldemort, Dumbledore won't be able to focus on dealing with Grindelwald."

"Yeah!" Hermione nodded slightly.

It can be seen from this incident that in Dumbledore's mind, Grindelwald is far more dangerous than Voldemort.

Voldemort was just hard to kill.

But Grindelwald really has the potential to subvert the wizarding world.

So he chose to deal with Grindelwald first - after all, Grindelwald had just escaped from prison, and his strength and power were far from reaching their peak.

This is when Grindelwald is at his weakest.

Although Andy didn't know the details of the confrontation between the two, it was obvious that Dumbledore couldn't get away at all.

This gave Voldemort an opportunity.

Voldemort also seized this opportunity and showed his madness to the world.

After this incident, Grindelwald finally had a chance to catch his breath.

"Hehe, the magic world seems to be getting more exciting."

Andy thought to himself.
