Chapter 740 Andy's Deterrence
Chapter 740 Andy's Deterrence
As time passed, Hogwarts gradually returned to its former tranquility and peace, and the hustle and bustle of the wizarding world gradually subsided under the power of time.
The pain brought by Voldemort.
The joy of defeating Voldemort.
Suspicion of Dumbledore.
The shock of Andy turning into a ghost.
Everything is just a passing cloud in the face of the power of time, and will return to peace after the noise.
Everyone has his or her own life to live. No matter how exciting the things are, they cannot resist the wear and tear of the daily necessities of life.
Unless, that's your job.
Or your ideal.
……
Another Slug Club meeting ended. Andy walked out of the party venue with Hermione, smiling and holding a small glass medicine bottle in his hand.
"Andy, you really performed exceptionally well today."
Hermione held a pile of books in her arms, raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Even Professor Slughorn was shocked by you."
"This is all thanks to Professor Snape, he is a master of potions." Andy did not take credit for it.
Brewing a potion?
Just follow the operating procedures strictly. The difficult part is to understand the pharmacology of the potion materials, improve the potion, or even develop a new potion.
"I heard that the Lucky Spirit can bring people luck."
Hermione continued to nag: "Andy, don't use it to gamble or do anything bad."
Andy touched his nose and asked, "Uh! What do you mean by bad things?"
Hermione wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Like, sneaking into the Department of Mysteries."
"Of course not." Andy insisted.
"in addition……"
Hermione looked around, then leaned closer to Andy and whispered, "I know what that mark means."
"What mark?" Andy was stunned.
"The mark of the Deathly Hallows!"
Hermione stared into Andy's eyes and said seriously, "That's Gellert Grindelwald's mark, right? He also sent you that box, didn't he?"
Andy: "..."
If you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about it.
Also, it’s been such a long time since this happened, how come you still remember it?
Digging up old grudges?
"Does he want to win you over to fight Dumbledore?"
Hermione said faintly: "I have been holding this in my heart for a long time, but I don't know how to tell you."
"You tried so hard to win the Felicity Potion today. You probably want to use its power, right?"
Andy was silent for a moment, then asked, "So what do you think?"
"Of course I believe you won't do that!"
Hermione rolled her eyes at Andy and snorted, "The Andy I know would never bother with someone like Grindelwald. Even if you two are in contact privately, it should be just for magical knowledge."
"Your condition is those alchemy books?"
"So…what does he want you to do?"
Andy: "..."
Why is the little witch so powerful now?
"First of all, thank you for your trust."
Andy chuckled and said, "Besides, he gave me those books on his own initiative. It wasn't a deal at all. Um... Also, he wanted to meet me."
"You promised?" Hermione looked at Andy.
"On Christmas Day," said Andy.
"Do you need the Felicis?" Hermione demanded.
"No! That's something else."
Andy explained: "Professor Slughorn gave me the Felicis Potion as a reward in order to help me study magic."
"I knew about this a long time ago."
Hermione continued to stare into Andy's eyes for a long time before she sighed, "I know you're not afraid of Grindelwald, but you still have to be careful. He might use other means to deal with you."
"I thought you would stop me." Andy was surprised.
"Will you listen to me?" Hermione asked back.
Andy: "..."
This question...is not easy to answer!
"If anyone sees you two together, it will get you into a lot of trouble."
Hermione did not ask further questions, but continued to remind her: "He may tempt you in other ways, something you absolutely cannot refuse. For example, the secret of the Deathly Hallows."
"Hey!"
Hermione suddenly sighed, and then said worriedly: "Andy, do you know what your biggest weakness is?"
"What is it?" Andy was also curious.
"It's arrogance!"
Hermione said seriously: "You told me all the secrets of Voldemort and your private contact with Grindelwald without reservation."
"You don't care about them at all."
“I’m not worried about these things being known by others.”
Taking a deep breath, Hermione continued, "Andy, what I'm most worried about is that Grindelwald will take advantage of this. He will use your arrogance to cause others to misunderstand you."
"Don't worry!"
Seeing Hermione's worried look, Andy patted her head and chuckled, "Grindelwald won't do that, because that will only force me to turn against him."
"in addition……"
"Even if the matter between Grindelwald and I is exposed, as long as we haven't really joined forces, there will be many people who will testify for me."
"Because what they fear most is me and Grindelwald joining forces."
Hermione: "..."
This kid is too arrogant!
"Even you know what Grindelwald's mark is, do you think the people in the Ministry of Magic don't know?"
Andy continued, "But the box still came into my hands, and the contents were intact. The Ministry of Magic didn't even mention anything about it."
"Why do you think this is?"
Hermione: "..."
I have to admit that Andy still has some capital for arrogance.
The box with the 'Grindelwald mark' printed on it traveled across the ocean and was delivered to Andy. Could it be that the Ministry of Magic really knew nothing about it?
Of course not!
The Ministry of Magic knew this very well.
But what they know more is that Andy is not Dumbledore!
If they have some understanding of Andy's "personality", they should know that Andy is definitely not a good person.
Dark wizard!
The next generation of Dark Lord!
These are the labels on Andy.
People are not afraid of police officers with guns, but they are afraid of gangsters with knives.
If someone gives you 10,000 yuan and asks you to do something you don't want to do, many people may not do it.
But if the other party points a gun at you and forces you to do this, most people will do it obediently.
This is Andy's deterrent power!
Voldemort said that magic is power!
This sentence makes sense.
Because the essence of power is plunder!
When you can plunder other people's interests or even their lives, you have the right to dominate them.
"Are they afraid of you?" Hermione hesitated.
She knew Andy was very powerful, but what was there to be afraid of?
That's the Ministry of Magic!
It is the highest authority in the wizarding world!
At this moment, the little witch understood something and felt that her faith was about to collapse.
