The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 747 Arrival in the European Magical World

With Christmas approaching, Andy made two preparations.

First, Andy wrote home to tell his family that he planned to stay at school for the holidays this year.

Secondly, Andy told the school that he was going home for the holidays this year.

Ok……

Excellent, everything is foolproof!

……

"Half a semester has passed..."

Inside the library, Andy rested his chin on one hand, casually flipping through the pages with his right, but couldn't concentrate on a single word.

It's almost holiday time, who still reads books?

At this moment, only Andy and Hermione were in the library.

Everyone else went to party.

Across from her, Hermione asked while reading, "Will you be meeting Professor Dumbledore on your trip to Europe?"

"Probably..." Andy said, somewhat uncertainly.

Dumbledore hasn't shown up for months.

The situation in Europe is not good.

Old Malfoy wrote 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 arrest warrants issued by various countries for Grindelwald were essentially ignored.

The arrest warrant is still in effect, but no one has arrested him.

Grindelwald even publicly hosted several parties, one of which was attended by Draco Malfoy. According to Draco Malfoy's own account, his father had become a devoted fan of Grindelwald.

He was willing to go crazy for him!

All I can say is that Grindelwald was a master of deception.

"I wonder how Professor Dumbledore is doing."

Hermione said with some concern, "I read the newspaper reports; the situation over there is very bad. Grindelwald is different from Voldemort; he wants to gain power through legitimate means."

"The professor may not be good at these things."

In Hermione's view, although Dumbledore was the president of the International Federation of Wizarding Societies, his position was just a formality and had no real function.

"Um……"

Andy hesitated for a moment, then said, "If conditions permit, I will go to visit him."

"At such an advanced age, they still have to work tirelessly for the safety of the magical world. Thinking about it, it's quite pitiful."

"He should retire!"

Hermione glared at Andy with annoyance upon hearing this.

"After Dumbledore retires, will he make you the headmaster?"

After a pause, Hermione chuckled again, "But... Professor Dumbledore must be over a hundred years old by now, right? Oh, I must say, he's really pitiful."

"In the Muggle world, he should have retired long ago."

"Right?"

Andy said smugly, "If Dumbledore doesn't retire, Professor McGonagall can only be the vice-principal, which is so unfair to her."

Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Is there anything else you need to tell me?" Andy asked.

"Um……"

Hermione hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Andy and whispered, "Be careful!"

"Of course," Andy said.

……

One night passed.

The next day, Hogwarts officially began its holiday.

Andy arrived at King's Cross Station by train, said goodbye to Hermione, and then Apparated to a beach.

The beach was deserted, with only a stranded, dilapidated wooden boat and a half-used swimming ring on the sand.

"...Can't we use something else?"

Andy muttered a complaint, then sighed and resignedly put the swimming ring around his neck.

The next instant, Andy felt a hook catch his navel, and then his feet left the ground uncontrollably. The scenery in front of him rushed past like a gust of wind.

Once everything had calmed down, Andy was already at another beach.

Andy threw the swimming ring on the ground and looked around.

A person was standing not far away.

"Malfoy?" Andy raised an eyebrow.

Lucius Malfoy then noticed Andy and quickly walked up to him, saying in a reserved yet respectful tone, "Mr. Collins, you've finally arrived."

"Why is it you?" Andy asked.

The key that looks a lot like a swimming ring was naturally arranged by Grindelwald.

He invited Andy to Germany, so naturally he had to arrange Andy's accommodation and meals. However, to Andy's surprise, the person who greeted him there was none other than Old Malfoy.

Has he really sided with Grindelwald?

"It was Mr. Grindelwald who asked me to receive you."

Old Malfoy lowered his voice and said, "He has already arranged accommodations, but something came up and he can only come to see you tonight."

Andy raised an eyebrow.

After thinking for a moment, Andy nodded and said, "Let's go then!"

"Grab me." Old Malfoy stretched out his arm.

Andy placed his hand on it.

The next instant, Apparition was activated.

Once everything had calmed down, Andy and old Malfoy had arrived in the yard in front of a three-story villa.

"This is it."

Old Malfoy smiled reservedly, then stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, the door was opened from the inside.

The woman who opened the door was in her forties. Her eyes were somewhat vacant, and she looked as if she were under the control of a soul-stealing curse.

Old Malfoy gestured for him to proceed, then explained to himself, "You'll always need a servant to cook."

Andy didn't care about such things. He followed old Malfoy into the house, glanced around a few times, then sat down on the sofa and asked, "How did you get this house?"

"This is Mr. Grindelwald's house."

Old Malfoy seemed to understand Andy's meaning, and he explained, "The nanny is also hired, and she gets paid every month."

"But we are wizards after all, and there are some secrets we can't let Muggles know."

Andy nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Grindelwald, an escaped convict, somehow managed to buy a villa for Muggles. It's obvious that the money must have come from illicit sources.

For unruly dark wizards, Muggle money is easy to earn; a single Imperius Curse is all it takes.

Grindelwald may have already controlled many wealthy people.

Without asking any further questions, Andy changed the subject, "How's the situation here? I saw in the Daily Prophet that Grindelwald is now openly entering and leaving the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes!"

At this point, old Malfoy perked up immediately, "Our biggest problem right now is Dumbledore. If it weren't for him, the Ministry of Magic would have dropped the warrant for Mr. Grindelwald long ago."

"With the power we currently possess, as long as we withdraw Mr. Grindelwald's arrest warrant, he can smoothly become Minister for Magic."

"Now we're just one step away."

"The most troublesome one is Dumbledore."

"However, the situation has improved considerably. Many people support Mr. Grindelwald, and the Ministries of Magic in various countries are also observing the situation. The Aurors will not take any action until a final decision is made."

Andy: "..."

Who the hell is talking to "us"?

And... how did Grindelwald manage to do that?

Is it a matter of verbal persuasion?
