Chapter 701: Cooperation! Dumbledore is surrounded by enemies

Things are multifaceted. If you look at them from different angles, you will come to different conclusions.

This was the case with Scrimgeour at this moment.

In the absence of important information about the Horcrux, Dumbledore is a strong suspect no matter how you look at it.

Of course, this is also the disadvantage of preconceived ideas.

Scrimgeour viewed Dumbledore from the perspective of conspiracy theory, and with the addition of various coincidences, a huge "conspiracy" was naturally formed.

As for Andy…

In Scrimgeour's opinion, Andy was too young. Even if Andy was really ambitious, he would not be able to accomplish anything in his teens.

What adult would seek refuge with a little wizard?

The most they could do was let their own children get in touch with Andy as classmates first, to see if Andy's talents and ambitions were in line with their own interests, and then consider investing.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Scrimgeour had a rough idea in his mind.

Next, he wanted to confirm his guess.

First, will Dumbledore's pursuit fail?

Secondly, will Grindelwald’s strength increase significantly?

Finally, and most importantly, if the pursuit fails, what will Dumbledore do next?

Thinking of this, Scrimgeour suddenly turned and looked at Andy.

He couldn't beat Dumbledore.

Neither can the Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, he needs a strong helper.

"Mr. Collins..."

Scrimgeour said calmly, "I'd like to believe that you have nothing to do with Ms. Skeeter. But... unfortunately, many Death Eaters think she is yours, and you ordered her to publish that report."

"…In seven days, the Department of Magical Law Enforcement will hold a trial for the Death Eaters."

Having said this, Scrimgeour stared at Andy, as if trying to see some panic on Andy's face.

It's a pity that Andy's face showed no expression.

"This is very bad for you."

Scrimgeour continued, "Although there are some rumors in the wizarding world that are unfavorable to Dumbledore, many people are willing to believe him, including your friend."

"Even... this matter will affect Dumbledore's opinion of you."

Andy spread his hands and said nothing!

"Mr. Scrimgeour, do you think... I would care about this kind of thing?" Andy asked back.

After a pause, Andy continued, "Voldemort, Grindelwald, Dumbledore... Who of these people cares about how others evaluate themselves?"

"By the way, you should have met Dumbledore, right?"

"Do you think...he would care about those rumors?"

Scrimgeour paused.

Indeed, judging by Dumbledore's reaction, he seemed unfazed by the rumors.

It's as if the rumor didn't exist at all.

Andy smiled and said bluntly, "Mr. Scrimgeour, if you have any ideas, just tell me directly. If I think it's appropriate...it's not impossible for us to cooperate."

Scrimgeour's eyes darkened.

People who don't care about rumors are either open-minded and have long let go of these mundane matters.

Or... I don't care about these people at all!

Which type is Dumbledore?

People treat cats and dogs as pets, sterilize them, feed them the same food every day, play with them when they are happy, and put them aside when they are unhappy.

Although we say we like them, who cares about what pets think?

Scrimgeour felt a chill in his heart.

He suddenly realized a problem. Do these super-special wizards still regard ordinary wizards as their own kind?

After a moment's silence, Scrimgeour asked again, "Do you know what the missing item is from the Gringotts vault?"

Andy shook his head, "I don't know!"

Scrimgeour's eyes lit up slightly.

"You don't seem curious at all?"

Before Andy could answer, Scrimgeour continued, "I speculate that the things lost in Gringotts may be related to Voldemort... or even involve the secrets hidden by Voldemort."

Andy spread his hands, "Many people can guess this."

"Don't you want it?" Scrimgeour asked.

Andy paused when he heard this.

This question is not easy to answer.

After thinking for a while, Andy asked back: "Why? You want to help me?"

"It's helping each other!" Scrimgeour corrected.

Andy raised an eyebrow, "So...what do you want?"

"Dumbledore!"

Scrimgeour said seriously, "To be precise, it is Dumbledore's secret."

Andy was not surprised.

Given Scrimgeour's suspicious nature, it was understandable that he suspected Dumbledore. Even Andy sometimes viewed Dumbledore from a conspiracy theory perspective.

As for cooperation...

Andy was not curious about the Horcruxes, but Dumbledore's secret made Andy somewhat excited.

In the field of love, Dumbledore is a pioneer.

So Andy was very curious, what did Dumbledore love?

Love the wizarding world?

Deep love...what does that feel like?

In magic, the magic of love...how will it be presented?

"Cooperation... is not impossible."

Andy said: "But I have a condition. We must share the information about Dumbledore."

Scrimgeour's lips curled up slightly.

His prediction was correct, Andy and Dumbledore were not in the same camp. When their interests differed, they would oppose each other.

"can!"

Scrimgeour said, "I'll help you track down the missing items at Gringotts, and you'll help me keep an eye on Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore's situation can be shared."

"But I can only help you find the whereabouts of the item. As for whether you can get it, that depends on your own ability."

Andy tilted his head and smiled: "No problem, it makes sense!"

Scrimgeour looked at Andy and suddenly asked, "There is one thing I'm curious about... The Death Eaters' confessions and the surveillance of Dumbledore are both very unfavorable to you."

"Aren't you worried that Dumbledore would know about this?"

Andy was silent for a moment, then asked, "What would Dumbledore do if he knew?"

What would Dumbledore do?

Scrimgeour paused.

"I understand!"

Scrimgeour suddenly stood up and stretched out his right hand. "Happy cooperation!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Andy also stood up and stretched out his right hand to shake hands with Scrimgeour.

This is a leisurely move.

And it was Scrimgeour who brought it to me.

As for how much value he can bring, it depends on his investigative ability.

After thinking for a while, Andy suddenly said, "I can give you a hint. To investigate Dumbledore, you can start with the Deathly Hallows."

"The Deathly Hallows?"

Scrimgeour was a little surprised. "Isn't that a fairy tale?"

Andy smiled and said, "When Dumbledore was young, he searched for the Deathly Hallows with Grindelwald."

"more importantly……"

"The wand in Dumbledore's hand is most likely the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows!"
