Chapter 698 Meeting with Scrimgeour
early morning.
Hogwarts, Great Hall.
Andy opened the latest issue of the Daily Prophet and scanned the headlines.
[Shocked! The Ministry of Magic strikes back, a large number of Death Eaters are arrested, the truth behind this is actually...]
Below the title, there are four dynamic photos of Death Eaters being arrested.
Hermione leaned close to Andy, stretched her head to look at the contents of the newspaper, frowned and asked, "Huh? Why are there reports of Death Eaters being arrested? Where is Voldemort?"
After Voldemort's death, the magic on his name naturally became ineffective.
"It should be to conceal the news!"
Andy said as he flipped through the newspaper, "By hiding the news that Voldemort is dead, Grindelwald can think that Dumbledore is dealing with Voldemort."
"That way, he'll be off guard."
Hermione suddenly realized, "You mean... Professor Dumbledore intends to take this opportunity to deal with Grindelwald?"
"Great!"
Hermione's face was filled with excitement.
"Now that Voldemort is dead, if Grindelwald is captured and brought to justice, peace will be completely restored to the wizarding world."
Andy nodded, "Indeed!"
Grindelwald is not in a good situation right now.
In terms of personal strength, Grindelwald with the Elder Wand could not beat Dumbledore, let alone Grindelwald without the Elder Wand.
If it's a one-on-one fight, Grindelwald has no chance of winning!
In terms of IQ...
Well... according to Andy's understanding, Grindelwald, who is proficient in divination and prophecy, has suffered losses more than once or twice in the game with Dumbledore.
He can't beat Dumbledore at all!
How to put it... Facing Grindelwald, Dumbledore basically crushed him in all aspects.
Strength! Intelligence!
Grindelwald has no advantage at all.
So, even though Andy tipped off Grindelwald, he had no confidence in him at all.
"But don't be too happy too soon."
Andy continued: "If Grindelwald is determined to hide, Dumbledore will not be able to find him."
This is also Grindelwald's only advantage at the moment.
When you do something, you leave traces.
With traces, you can find the flaws.
Now Grindelwald only wants to complete the fusion of mind and magic as soon as possible.
So before that, he won't take any action.
Without action, Dumbledore wouldn't be able to find him.
Hermione was a little puzzled. "Grindelwald escaped from prison. He didn't want to hide somewhere else, did he?"
"If it's just for hiding, what's the difference between outside and Nurmengard?"
That's right.
Andy chuckled and explained, "Grindelwald is far from being a match for Dumbledore, but since he dared to escape from prison, he must have mastered a way to deal with Dumbledore."
"So...he needs some time!"
In today's wizarding world, there are only four super-standard wizards in the open.
Andy, Voldemort, Dumbledore, Grindelwald.
Among these four, Grindelwald's strength is undoubtedly the weakest.
Don’t be fooled by Voldemort’s poor performance, that’s only because his mind was affected by dark magic, and his mind in turn affected his IQ.
In terms of personal strength alone, Voldemort is stronger than Grindelwald.
Because of this, Grindelwald had no chance of winning before he completed the fusion of his mind and magic.
Hermione nodded thoughtfully.
"indeed……"
After thinking for a while, Hermione suddenly said, "Andy, Professor Dumbledore has the Elder Wand, right? That's the legendary Deathly Hallows!"
"Ok?"
Andy raised an eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
Hermione chuckled and said, "Nothing! But...we should have more faith in the professor!"
Andy agreed with this very much, "That's right!"
This time, Andy could only support Dumbledore with his faith.
……
After breakfast, Andy and Hermione were about to go to the library to read for a while, but they saw Professor McGonagall coming towards them.
"Mr. Collins, please come with me."
Professor McGonagall said, "Someone wants to see you."
"Okay!" Andy responded.
"Miss Granger..."
Professor McGonagall turned to look at Hermione, "The other party only called Mr. Collins, so..."
"I see!"
Hermione nodded in understanding, and then suddenly asked, "Is that Professor Dumbledore?"
Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and did not answer the question.
Seeing this, Hermione stopped asking questions.
The person who wanted to see Andy was obviously not Dumbledore.
If it was Dumbledore, there would be no need for Professor McGonagall to hide it.
……
Following Professor McGonagall into an office, Professor McGonagall stopped and motioned Andy to go in alone.
Quite mysterious!
Andy didn't hesitate and just pushed the door open and walked in.
There was a man standing in the office.
He was wearing a black suit and a tie at his collar, and he was groomed meticulously.
He looked at Andy, with a pair of sharp eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses.
Rufus Scrimgeour.
Head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic.
Seeing this person, Andy couldn't help but feel a little funny.
Scrimgeour... this is Andy's old rival.
Andy had fought with this man when he broke into the Ministry of Magic and when he went to Azkaban to rescue Peter Pettigrew.
Hmm... a very ordinary person.
boom!
Andy closed the door behind him.
"You seem a little disappointed to see me?"
Ever since Andy pushed the door open, Scrimgeour had been observing Andy's expression and movements.
He did see a hint of disappointment on Andy's face.
This is fun!
He is the Head of the Auror Office.
Normally, let alone a little wizard, even an adult wizard would be a little nervous when seeing him.
Disappointed?
why?
"Who do you think is in the room?"
Scrimgeour continued, "Or... who is the person you want to see?"
this problem……
Andy thought about it and wondered how he should answer this question.
Ok……
Forget it, just answer truthfully!
“It’s a bit disappointing indeed.”
Andy found a chair and sat down, saying casually, "I don't want to see you at all."
Scrimgeour was neither a strong man like Dumbledore nor Andy's friend. Facing him, Andy didn't need to act at all.
"Oh why?"
"Why don't you want to see me?" Scrimgeour demanded.
As he asked this question, Scrimgeour thought of many answers in his mind.
For example:
Andy was hiding a secret that he didn't want the Aurors to know.
So he was looking forward to how Andy would answer this question.
Make up a perfect lie?
"Because you are worthless."
Andy said somewhat boredly: "Can you help me? You can't! So...of course I will be disappointed."
Scrimgeour narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "What do you want me to help you with? If it doesn't violate the principles, maybe I can help you."
