Chapter 702 Hatred is spreading over Hogwarts
"Deathly Hallows!?"
Scrimgeour exclaimed.
He obviously didn't expect that the Deathly Hallows in the fairy tale not only existed in reality, but also that the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows, was still in Dumbledore's hands.
If this secret was told by someone else, Scrimgeour would definitely treat it as a fairy tale. But when Andy told it, Scrimgeour could not help but take it seriously.
This is where identity, status, and reputation come into play.
Although Andy is young, he is very powerful.
More importantly, Andy has killed people before, and he did it without blinking an eye.
Scrimgeour couldn't treat Andy as an ordinary wizard.
"What is the secret of the Deathly Hallows?"
Scrimgeour asked in a deep voice, "The story mentions that if you collect the three Deathly Hallows, you can become the master of Death."
"Dumbledore, could it be that...?"
Andy smiled and spread his hands and said, "Who knows!"
Scrimgeour's face looked somewhat gloomy and uncertain.
If Dumbledore's wand is the legendary Elder Wand, then Dumbledore's purpose is obvious.
He wants to be the master of death!
Could it be that... the item lost from Gringotts' vault is one of the Deathly Hallows?
Scrimgeour thought about it.
It’s not impossible!
Dumbledore and Grindelwald had searched for the Deathly Hallows, and Andy also knew the secret of the Deathly Hallows. So... Voldemort might also know about the existence of the Deathly Hallows, and even secretly searched for it.
"How much more do you know?" asked Scrimgeour.
"That's all."
Andy spread his hands and said, "Dumbledore didn't tell me about this. I just overheard it."
Scrimgeour obviously didn't believe this.
But since Andy didn't want to say it, Scrimgeour had no choice.
"It's getting late..."
After a moment's silence, Scrimgeour stood up and said, "Let's stop here for today! If you have any news in the future, you can put it here."
After saying that, Scrimgeour wrote down an address in a notebook, tore it off and handed it to Andy.
Andy took the note, looked at it, and asked, "Will your message be placed here too?"
Scrimgeour paused, then smiled and said, "Of course!"
"That's good!" After saying that, Andy shook his fingers, and the note immediately turned into ashes and dissipated in the air.
"There's still a lot to do at the Ministry of Magic, so I'll be leaving first," said Scrimgeour.
"Goodbye!" Andy said with a smile.
After Scrimgeour left, Andy sat on the sofa and carefully reviewed his conversation with Scrimgeour.
I have to say that public opinion is still very useful.
Scrimgeour was obviously influenced by the rumors, and Dumbledore concealed the information about the Horcruxes, which led to some unclear explanations.
As for why Scrimgeour came to find him...
Andy was not surprised.
There is a saying: If the flowers bloom, butterflies will come.
Andy's strength is there. If Scrimgeour wants to deal with Dumbledore, he naturally needs Andy's help.
Without Andy, even if Scrimgeour and the Aurors were tied together, they would still not be enough for Dumbledore to defeat alone.
"Um……"
Andy pondered it carefully for a while and felt that he had not revealed any flaws. Although the final mention of the Deathly Hallows was a little blunt, the news was shocking enough.
Whether Scrimgeour believed it or not, he had to investigate the matter thoroughly.
Even if Scrimgeour thought Andy was deliberately leading him on, he had to investigate the matter.
This is the importance of the Deathly Hallows!
"This way, there won't be any problem," Andy thought.
As for the collaboration with Scrimgeour...
To be honest, neither Andy nor Scrimgeour took it to heart.
Exchange information?
Do not make jokes!
At most, they just take advantage of each other.
"what--"
Andy stood up, stretched, and stretched his muscles, then slowly walked out of the office.
……
Andy soon put Scrimgeour's affairs behind him. For Andy, the most important thing was always learning.
Only by constantly absorbing knowledge can Andy stand at the top of the magic world.
There is no class today.
Andy went to the library to read as usual.
At the same time, the news that a large number of Death Eaters had been arrested quickly spread throughout Hogwarts.
This news is very exciting.
After the failure of the Battle of Diagon Alley, the Ministry of Magic quickly launched a powerful counterattack, which rekindled the confidence of the wizarding world in fighting against Voldemort.
Of course, they were also worried about Voldemort's revenge.
However, the newspaper specifically mentioned that Dumbledore had returned, and someone saw Dumbledore at Hogwarts this morning.
This is exciting for many people.
Although public opinion is somewhat unfavorable to Dumbledore, it must be said that Dumbledore's existence can indeed give people confidence.
Of course, not everyone is cheering for the victory.
As we all know, a smile never disappears, it just moves from one person's face to another.
A few days ago, Slytherin was celebrating Voldemort's victory.
Today, a few days later, the other three houses are celebrating the Ministry of Magic's victory.
The situation for both sides can be said to be changing.
Because of this, the atmosphere in Hogwarts became particularly solemn.
Because it's not just about winning and losing.
But...
"Hate!"
Sitting opposite Andy, Hermione said solemnly: "Andy, hatred is spreading over Hogwarts!"
"The Death Eaters killed many people's relatives and friends."
"Many Death Eaters died in yesterday's battle. They were relatives and friends of Slytherin."
“…Some people have lost their parents.”
After a pause, Hermione continued worriedly: "Andy, I don't sympathize with them. It's just that... those Slytherins are not so generous. They think that other people's relatives killed their relatives."
"Of course, people from other colleges think so too."
"I just took a look."
"There are professors guarding the Great Hall, outside the castle, and on the Quidditch pitch. They are obviously worried about something."
There was no doubt that the Death Eaters had suffered heavy losses last night.
Andy alone killed quite a few people.
When the Aurors were capturing Death Eaters, it was inevitable that some of them would take advantage of the opportunity to kill one or two people out of personal vengeance.
Those who were alive were also put in prison.
What awaits them is legal judgment and lifelong free residence in Azkaban.
The wizarding community is actually very small.
The parents of these little wizards at Hogwarts include shop owners, Aurors, and Death Eaters.
They killed each other!
“This is the chain of hatred.”
Andy sighed, "Don't worry, just let them calm down for a while. With the professor watching, they won't be able to fight."
Hermione said with a worried look on her face: "Now I finally understand why Gryffindor is against Slytherin."
"The hatred is a carryover from the last wizarding war."
