Chapter 747 Arrival in the European Magical World
As Christmas approaches, Andy has made preparations for both scenarios.
First, Andy wrote a letter to tell his family that he was going to stay in school for the holidays this year.
Secondly, Andy told the school that he would go home for the holidays this year.
Ok……
Very good, foolproof!
……
"Half a semester has passed..."
In the library, Andy supported his chin with one hand and flipped the pages of the book casually with his right hand, but he couldn't read a single word.
It’s almost vacation time, who’s still reading?
At this moment, Andy and Hermione were the only two people in the library.
Everyone else went to party.
Across from her, Hermione asked as she read a book, "Will you meet Professor Dumbledore when you go to Europe this time?"
"I think so..." Andy was a little uncertain.
Dumbledore had not been seen for months.
The situation in Europe is not good.
Old Malfoy wrote to say that Dumbledore and Grindelwald seemed to have fought in private, but the process and result of that battle were not made public, and only a few people knew about it.
In addition, the wanted warrants for Grindelwald by various countries are basically in vain.
The wanted warrant is still there, but no one has caught him.
Grindelwald even held several public parties, and Malfoy Sr. attended one of them. According to Draco Malfoy, his father had become a loyal fan of Grindelwald.
He was willing to go crazy for him!
I can only say that Grindelwald is really good at fooling people.
"I don't know what happened to Professor Dumbledore."
Hermione said with some concern: "I read the report in the newspaper. The situation over there is not good. Grindelwald is different from Voldemort. He wants to gain power through legal means."
"The professor might not be good at this."
In Hermione's opinion, although Dumbledore is the president of the International Confederation of Wizards, his position is just a decoration and has no effect at all.
"Um……"
Andy hesitated for a moment, and then said, "If conditions permit, I will go to visit him."
"At such an old age, he still has to work hard for the safety of the wizarding world. If you think about it carefully, it's quite pitiful."
“He should retire!”
Hermione glared at Andy unhappily when she heard that.
"After Dumbledore retires, will he let you be the headmaster?"
After a pause, Hermione smiled again and said, "But... Professor Dumbledore is already over a hundred years old this year, right? Oh, I have to say, he is really pitiful."
"In the Muggle world, he should have retired long ago."
"right?"
Andy said smugly, "If Dumbledore doesn't retire, Professor McGonagall will only be the deputy headmaster, which is too unfair to Professor McGonagall."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Anything else you want to tell me?" Andy asked.
"Um……"
Hermione hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Andy and whispered, "Be careful!"
"Of course," Andy said.
……
The night passed.
The next day, Hogwarts officially closed for the holiday.
Andy took the train to King's Cross Station. After saying goodbye to Hermione, Andy Apparated to a seaside.
The beach was deserted, with only a stranded, dilapidated wooden boat and a half-old swimming ring on the sand.
“…Can’t we use something else?”
Andy complained, then sighed, walked forward and put the swimming ring around his neck as if resigned to his fate.
The next moment, Andy felt a hook hooked on his belly button, and then his feet left the ground uncontrollably. The scenery in front of him rushed past like a gust of wind.
When everything returned to calm, Andy had appeared at another beach.
Throwing the swimming ring on the ground, Andy looked around.
Not far away, there was a person standing.
"Malfoy?" Andy raised his eyebrows.
Lucius Malfoy also noticed Andy at this time. He walked quickly to Andy and said in a reserved and respectful tone: "Mr. Collins, you are finally here."
"Why you?" Andy asked.
This portkey that looks like a swimming ring was naturally arranged by Grindelwald.
He invited Andy to Germany, so he had to arrange Andy's accommodation and food. But to Andy's surprise, the person who greeted him was actually old Malfoy.

Did he really join Grindelwald?
"Mr. Grindelwald asked me to receive you."
Old Malfoy lowered his voice and said, "He has already arranged a place to stay, but he has something urgent to do, so he can only come to see you in the evening."
Andy raised his eyebrows.
After thinking about it, Andy nodded and said, "Then let's go!"
"Hold me." The elder Malfoy held out his arm.
Andy put his hand on it.
The next moment, the Apparition was activated.
When everything returned to calm, Andy and old Malfoy had arrived at the yard in front of a three-story villa.
"This is it."
Old Malfoy smiled reservedly, then walked forward and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, the door was opened from the inside.
The person who opened the door was a woman in her forties. Her eyes were dull and she looked as if she was under the control of the Imperius Curse.
Old Malfoy made a 'please' gesture, and then explained to himself: "You will always need a servant to cook."
Andy didn't care about this kind of thing. He followed old Malfoy into the house, looked around for a few times, then sat on the sofa and asked, "How did this house come about?"
"This is Mr. Grindelwald's house."
Old Malfoy seemed to know what Andy meant. He explained, "The nanny is also hired and gets paid every month."
"But we are wizards after all, and there are some secrets that Muggles cannot know."
Andy nodded slightly when he heard this.
Grindelwald, a fugitive from prison, actually had the money to buy a Muggle villa. It goes without saying that the money must have come from an illegal source.
For unruly dark wizards, it is easy to make money from Muggles, and all it takes is a single Imperius Curse.
Grindelwald may have controlled many wealthy people.
Without asking any more questions, Andy changed the subject, "What's the situation here? I saw in the Daily Prophet that Grindelwald can enter and leave the Ministry of Magic openly?"
"Yes!"
Speaking of this, old Malfoy suddenly became energetic, "Our biggest trouble now is Dumbledore. If it weren't for him, the Ministry of Magic would have withdrawn the wanted warrant for Mr. Grindelwald long ago."
"According to the power we currently have, as long as the arrest warrant for Mr. Grindelwald is revoked, he can smoothly become the Minister of Magic."
"Now there's only one step left."
"The most troublesome one is Dumbledore."
"But the situation has improved a lot now. Many people support Mr. Grindelwald, and the Ministries of Magic of various countries are also waiting and watching. Before the final decision is made, the Aurors will not take any action for the time being."
Andy: "..."
Who the hell is 'we' to you?
And...how did Grindelwald do it?
Mouth escape?
