MTL - In This Hogwarts Without a Savior-Chapter 474 472. If you can't be soft, then you can be hard
Chapter 474 472. If you can't be soft, come hard
It's not that it's not good to win easily, and Jon himself knows very well that the idiots like Hunter are not wrong about certain things.
In the war between wizards, the situation cannot be established by the small fights of the following people, whether it is the witch party led by Grindelwald more than 50 years ago, or Voldemort finally ruled the UK more than ten years ago and decided to win. The key lies in the final one-man duel.
It’s like Grindelwald’s past. At that time, the Wuzi Party was unprecedentedly powerful. After losing the duel with Dumbledore, no matter how large the organization was, it was facing collapse.
The current situation is the same, Wu Pingxian has an absolute advantage, and has even reached Diagon Alley, but as long as Voldemort is still there and he does not show up, it means that the current victory is not enough to be sure.
But at this time, it is obvious that the British Ministry of Magic has no way to resist Wupingxian's attack. What is Voldemort doing?
Just reading the news in the newspaper, of course Jon couldn't figure it out, but he didn't need to worry about Voldemort's affairs. All he needs to do now is to complete the task assigned to him by Dumbledore.
So in the next two days, he intentionally or unintentionally got close to the pure-blood kit named "Dandy" who stayed in the Department of Mysteries.
This middle-aged wizard who also came from a new pure-blood family doesn't seem like a person who is easy to get in touch with. Even if he knows that Jon is already on their side, it is still a lukewarm relationship, like They treated him like those idiots in Hunter, and warned him not to cause trouble casually.
Now that it's like this, things are getting tricky for Jon.
The intimacy seems to be a bit unworkable. Jon felt that he couldn't hang himself on a tree, so he found a time to discuss it with Slughorn.
"Dumbledore sent me a message."
Before Jon could speak, Slughorn spoke first.
"He got a piece of inaccurate information. Voldemort is likely to lead the Death Eaters to launch a counterattack on Christmas a week later. He can't hold back anymore."
Jon also frowned at this time.
"The time the professor agreed with us was also at this time. He said that the things must be found before he and Voldemort duel. If Voldemort comes forward at that time, the professor will definitely face him."
"How's the progress on your side?"
Jon shook his head and said.
"Infiltrating into the inside is breaking into the inside, but Hunter and his group of idiots don't know anything at all. Those who have a little understanding of things in the Department of Mysteries should be Dandy and his group. But I have already tried to communicate with them. Dandy has been in contact with me for three days, and he has no intention of chatting with me at all, and his tone is very strict, so I am thinking that if we can't be soft, we can only come hard."
Slughorn understood what Jon meant.
"You mean just give him Veritaserum?"
Jon nodded.
"We have to find an opportunity to trick him out alone. If anyone among these people really knows something in the Department of Mysteries, then there is a high probability that it will be Dandy. We need to start with him, even we need Take some risks."
Slughorn responded decisively to this.
"Then you continue to try now. We still have a week before Christmas. I will make some arrangements here. If you have not received any useful news from him after two days, I will find an excuse to let him come to the office alone. You and I will control him!"
After talking with Slughorn and discussing everything properly, Jon continued to try to communicate with Dandy, and then he discovered that there are idiots in pure blood and there are people who can do things. Dandy and Hunter Those people are fundamentally different.
He may not be a seedling who can study advanced magic, but he behaves like a professionally trained person. Jon also found out through insinuations that before Voldemort ruled England, he was a member of the British Ministry of Magic. A simple Auror, even if he became a Death Eater these years, he has not been corrupted by the extravagant life.
Dealing with such a person is really not easy. Two days later, Jon completely gave up what he could gain in words. The current situation on the battlefield can't wait for so long.
He made an appointment with Slughorn, and four days before Christmas, Dandy was called to the director's office alone.
"I heard that you have something important to ask me, Mr. Director."
For Slughorn, Dandy still has the most basic courtesy, while Slughorn is much more enthusiastic. He invites this wizard who can be said to be the leader of all pure-bloods in the Department of Mysteries to sit down. Then he poured him a cup of tea and served some desserts.
"Dandy Collison, I've always wanted to have a good chat with someone as good as you."
After some fruitless greetings, Slughorn said meaningfully.
"Well, Coles and the others chatted with me before, and you seem to have some other kind of circle together. He also kindly invited me to join, saying that he would give me unexpected surprises. I have been thinking about these these days. Things, can you talk to me in detail?"
Dandy frowned slightly, of course he knew about Las Lughorn's joining the group.
But there is also a reasonable division of labor among pure-bloods. Work like this kind of communication is basically handed over to those who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. Dandy has never participated in such things.
But a character like Slughorn has an unusual status. Now that he has expressed his intention to join, Dandy feels that he should not refuse.
Just before opening his mouth for a formal chat, he still looked around the entire director's office, and his eyes finally stopped on the door of the private bedroom.
Slughorn saw his wariness and said with a smile.
"Are you afraid that there is a third person? If you are worried, you can open it and have a look. I don't mind."
However, the more Slughorn said that, the less suspicious Dandy would be. As Voldemort's former dean, Slughorn's position is always a bit detached.
"Do you have any doubts that our master has always been the one we are loyal to?" Dandy asked, staring into Slughorn's eyes.
No one will take it lightly when talking about such a major event that is almost equal to treason.
Slughorn's face revealed a bit of doubt and solemnity at the right time.
And at this moment, the bedroom door was quietly opened with a gap, and a finger and a magic wand stuck out from it!
