Chapter 697 A crucial person

The change Dumbledore wants is to allow wizards to complete their self-transformation and gain more living space based on the International Statute of Secrecy.

Rather than letting wizards enslave Muggles through war.

Because this road will not work!

But the wizard's self-transformation cannot be just talked about.

This requires extremely high magical abilities!

There is no doubt that in Dumbledore's eyes, Andy has such a talent.

But there is a difficulty here.

——Andy has an irreconcilable conflict with other wizards in the magical world.

Andy is addicted to magic.

Other wizards just want to find a decent job.

Different concepts caused Andy to reject other wizards.

In other words, Andy doesn't care about other people's lives.

In Dumbledore's view, except for a few wizards, Andy no longer regarded other wizards as the same kind - in Andy's eyes, these wizards were no different from Muggles.

Thinking of this, Dumbledore also had a headache.

I looked at the time, it was already six in the morning.

Before I knew it, the night had passed.

Dumbledore stood up and said: "Amelia, I have to go back to Hogwarts to deal with some things, and then leave for Europe immediately."

"I'll leave it to you in England!"

Bones also stood up and said, "Don't worry! Now that Voldemort is dead, most of the Death Eaters have been captured. I think it won't take long for the wizarding world to restore its former peace."

"But you...be careful!"

Dumbledore nodded slightly, then turned and left.

"Minister Bones..."

After Dumbledore left, Scrimgeour immediately said: "Don't you think this went too smoothly?"

"What do you want to say?" Bones frowned slightly.

Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment, and finally said bluntly: "It only took him two short days from Dumbledore's return to killing Voldemort."

"And before that..."

Scrimgeour did not say what he said directly. He believed that Bones could understand what he meant.

"Rufus, you don't believe those rumors, do you?"

Bones frowned and said, "I know you don't like Dumbledore, but I don't think Dumbledore is a man obsessed with power."

"He has no reason to do this!"

Scrimgeour said in a deep voice: "This has nothing to do with personal feelings."

"I admit, I don't like Dumbledore that much, but we just disagree. In fact, before today, I respected Dumbledore as much as you did."

"Minister Bones, there are too many doubts here!"

"Judging from the death of Voldemort, Dumbledore could have killed him long ago, but he has allowed Voldemort to live until today."

"The year Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald, Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts. And when Grindelwald came back, he chose to kill Voldemort."

"I never believe this is a coincidence!"

Scrimgeour was a little excited.

If his guess is true, it means that Dumbledore is brewing a shocking conspiracy.

"Rufus..."

Bones thought for a while and said: "The reason why Dumbledore was able to kill Voldemort was that in addition to Snape's intelligence, Andy Collins and Harry Potter also assisted."

"It may be a coincidence, but it's not as easy as you think."

Scrimgeour asked in a deep voice: "What if the operation to capture Grindelwald fails?"

"That's Grindelwald!"

Bones raised his eyebrows and said: "No one can 100% guarantee that he will be caught and brought to justice."

"I admit, these things are indeed somewhat coincidental."

"But what's the motive?"

"Why did Dumbledore do this?"

"He has a well-known reputation in the wizarding world and has rejected the position of Minister of Magic several times. Not only that, Dumbledore also has a close personal relationship with Nico Flamel, and he can even borrow the Philosopher's Stone."

"It is no exaggeration to say that he already has it all!"

"...as long as he wants."

Scrimgeour was silent.

I have to say, what Bones said makes sense.

Dumbledore could have everything he wanted.

But he refused!

Neither the position of Minister of Magic nor the Philosopher's Stone that could lead to immortality could tempt Dumbledore.

Patting Scrimgeour on the shoulder, Bones continued: "Stop thinking nonsense! Now that Voldemort is dead, the top priority is to capture the escaped Death Eaters as soon as possible."

Scrimgeour nodded slightly, "Yes!"

With that, Scrimgeour turned and left the minister's office.

Walking in the corridors of the Ministry of Magic, Scrimgeour felt heavy.

Although there is some truth in what Bones said, it does not dispel Scrimgeour's suspicion.

After sorting out his thoughts, Scrimgeour found that the main reason why the evidence pointing to Dumbledore was considered a 'coincidence' was that Dumbledore had no motive.

——He has no reason to do this!

Those unscrupulous media can exaggerate and say: Dumbledore is doing it for power and status.

But Scrimgeour knew that Dumbledore was not such a person.

"As long as Dumbledore's motives are found, all the mysteries can be solved!" Scrimgeour thought to himself.

His steps paused slightly, and Scrimgeour suddenly thought of someone.

Rita Skeeter!

She is a famous female reporter and the first person to discredit Dumbledore in the newspaper.

Not only that, she also exposed Voldemort's conspiracy.

Normally, no one dares to do this.

During the interrogation of the Death Eaters, Scrimgeour obtained such a confession: Voldemort believed that Rita Skeeter was Andy Collins's man.

The reason why she dared to discredit Dumbledore in the newspaper was that she received orders from Andy Collins.

When Voldemort sent Death Eaters to hunt down Rita Skeeter, it was Andy Collins who provided her with protection.

"Andy Collins..."

Scrimgeour muttered to himself, "Why do you do all this?"

"Are you an enemy or a friend to Dumbledore?"

Scrimgeour never dared to underestimate Andy, a fourth-grade wizard.

Not only because of Andy's strength, but also because of Andy's character-a little wizard who was less than fifteen years old had killed more than ten Death Eaters.

More importantly, he was calm when he killed people.

And Scrimgeour also got a piece of information: several pure-blood families headed by the Malfoy family have secretly joined Andy Collins.

"A very ambitious little wizard!"

Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment, and he decided to contact Andy.

He thought Andy might know Dumbledore's secret.

Not only that...

Scrimgeour also wanted to know more about Andy himself.

If Andy is really the next Dark Lord, he can also make some preparations as soon as possible.
