Chapter 689 Meeting Godfather's Respect
A thousand miles begins with a single step.
Understanding some truths does not mean that these are all your own.
Snape's teaching on Voldemort's Flying Curse was only the beginning, Dumbledore's master class was only the beginning, and Anton's textbooks for the dark wizards and Muggle Squibs under his command were only half written.
The three old saints called by Lockhart aimed at Dumbledore's imprisoning spell to undo the complex magic ceremony, and the alchemy props about the 'Squib Magic Riot with Talented Magic' tributed by the Potter family are just now. Research a beginning.
Breeds of 'Giant Snail' and 'Hoclap' (pink mushroom with octopus tentacles) have also just begun breeding. The research on their innate magic is even more behind.
Not to mention the hut deck as a 'research center' for the Animagus office of the Ministry of Magic, research on Muggle Squibs, applied research on "Wizard World" live-action chess, etc.
Look, Anton has a lot to do.
Regardless of whether it was Barty Crouch Jr. or not, whether it had anything to do with Sirius or not, he just threw it aside and didn't worry about it anymore.
Only the enthusiasm for magic from the bottom of his heart made Anton obsessed.
Next, Anton immersed himself in the wonderful book "Deciphering the Cutting-Edge Black Magic". You must know that the Horcrux is just one of the cutting-edge black magic introduced in the book.
In this way, Anton was holding this book and reading it almost every time he went to class, wrote about his feelings, and fed food to magical animals such as fat balls and color-changing giant snails.
The partners in the hut each have a lot of things to do, even Hannah, who is the most scumbag, holds "Wizards are Gods" compiled by Anton and "Compendium of Knowledge Points for All Grades and Subjects" compiled by the George Weasley twins. Anna devoted herself to learning more knowledge together.
Until this day, Luke Wood, who is now hiding in a French newspaper, once again sent Anton news from the society.
An extremely explosive news.
——A wizard from a Muggle family, whose younger brother is a programmer, told me such a top-secret news to the intelligence collectors of the newspaper, and asked me for a large reward. But I thought he should have told this news to many people at the same time, and this news may be exposed at any time.
——In the Muggle world, there is an online forum called 'Mysterious Power', funded by the Malfoy family!
—— Regarding the accuracy of this news, the source of the information cannot confirm whether it is accurate. He did not find any evidence of Malfoy's involvement in this matter, but he saw the editor-in-chief Greengrass in the website maintenance company of this online forum.
——He didn't know that the editor-in-chief Greengrass used to be a saint. Based on the above information, I have reason to guess that the Malfoy family has taken refuge in Grindelwald behind the scenes.
——It seems inaccurate to say this. Lucius invested half of his family property in me to establish a newspaper, but I know he is looking at you behind me. And Lucius Malfoy, when I sent you a message, there was information that he was in Azkaban. At the same time, he was the most active trustee of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
——The attitude of Lucius' camp is currently unclear, and this news seems to be available information.
——In addition, I will focus on Grindelwald's forces.
——According to such news, I sent a reporter to investigate and initially suspect that the 'mysterious power' online forum has dominated two major events involving the wizarding world: 1. After Christmas this year, the first wizarding mercenary army launched an attack on Hogsmeade missile. 2. Long-term employment of a certain Muggle European army to detect and explore the "Werewolf Home" company.
——The above are all conjectures, and there is no factual evidence. According to personal inference, the possibility is extremely high.
...
...
Anton raised his eyebrows, fed the owl who sent the letter some of the high-quality animal food prepared by the twins, and wrote some suggestions in the reply letter to let it bring the news back.
As the flames rose, Rookwood's letter was reduced to ashes.
"It's really possible! Tsk..."
Anton clearly remembered that when Voldemort appeared in Dumbledore's office when he revealed that Peter Pettigrew was Ron's pet Scabbers.
He used the vitality of a group of mercenaries intending to contact him to open up a shuttle channel with Dumbledore for information transmission.
At that time, Dumbledore left extremely angrily, and even gave him a glare. Anton had reason to guess that Dumbledore glared at him because he let Grindelwald out to make trouble. (577 chapters)
There was also a sentence - "It seems that someone has learned to use the power of Muggles?"
"Quack quack..."
"So, Lao Ge's method of reform turned out to be to push Muggles to explore the secrets of wizards, and even to create a new 'witch hunt', so as to reverse the transformation of the wizarding world itself?"
Anton blinked and took a sharp breath, "Mom~"
"So Dumbledore is on the sidelines about Voldemort's return, just to cooperate with such a battle for change?"
"Two-pronged approach?"
"Then wait for a suitable time to reap their achievements just like the previous showdown against Grindelwald?"
Anton would even wonder if this kind of thing is some kind of tacit understanding between Grindelwald and Dumbledore. One asked Muggles to bombard Hogsmeade, saying that my forces had already started, and one acquiesced to the other party's escape from the school?
"Haha, interesting!"
what is this?
With Grindelwald, Voldemort is not enough in Dumbledore's eyes?
The first generation of Dark Lord and White Lord joined forces to bully and play with the second generation of Dark Lord?
"No wonder he told me to hide in school for the past six months and not to go out. I was afraid that I would spoil the situation. Well, I should still have a bit of old Deng's protective style of elders."
"Watch the fireworks together~"
"show~"
Of course, the tacit understanding between Dumbledore and Grindelwald belongs to the big picture. In the subtle aspects, Grindelwald should also have his own pride.
Sending people to investigate the werewolf's home, on the one hand, wanted to use Lupin to drag the Order of the Phoenix into the water, and on the other hand, wanted to drag himself into the water.
"Hahahaha~~~"
Anton was happy after thinking about it.
"Interesting, very interesting."
A lot of Rookwood's information was quickly retrieved from memory by his thinking, and quickly pieced together along this line of thought.
This is the memory combing secret method of the "collector of memory and time" of the goblin family.
The addition of information one by one made Anton's interest in watching fun gradually superimposed.
Like the Ministry of Magic.
Isn't the gossip saying that Scrimgeour, the director of the Auror office, has defected to Grindelwald, and now Scrimgeour is frantically recruiting social people to fill the Auror team.
Then, the next thing to do, of course, is to train soldiers.
In terms of Scrimgeour's demands, the new era's sub-wizards with certain magical abilities and mercenary legions with modern Muggle technology are definitely the best targets for Auror training.
After all, what Grindelwald wants is to force the wizarding world to change, not that Muggles really have the ability to hunt wizards...
Anton can even guess that the 'Mysterious Power' online forum and the Auror office team have opened up a warm-up small battlefield of venue intensity in unknown corners of the world.
The most interesting thing is that Anton's partner in the Ministry of Magic, Minister of Magic Fudge, has been recuperating in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries during this time, hiding and just not coming out.
"What a shrewd politician. Even if he doesn't know what's going on, he's still keen to hide and observe the situation with a cold eye."
"Quack quack..."
"It's a lot of fun!"
Anton laughed for a while, took a sip of scented tea, continued to watch "Secrets of Sophisticated Dark Magic", and sank into it again.
However, today is probably a good day for information bombing, and someone has visited the new cabin in the stable.
Dudley Dursley.
"Anton..."
The little fat man hesitated, "I have an owl, you know, the magic world is very magical, and my mother is interested in the magic world, I often write down my experience in the magic school and send it to my mother..."
"This time she let my owl reply inside, and also packed a letter, asking me to give it to you, and told me not to open it to read."
"???"
Anton glanced at Dudley in astonishment, and really couldn't understand why Petunia Dursley wrote to him.
You can just write to Snape, why contact me?
He was flustered in his heart, and he didn't shy away from it. He poured a cup of tea for Dudley and asked him to sit by the side, and opened it up in front of him.
Looking at it, his brows frowned.
— Dear Mr. Weasley:
——Thank you very much for bringing our family into contact with the magical world as the freshman guide of the school at that time, and I sincerely thank you.
——Our family is very grateful for the many things you have done for us: gave Dudley the opportunity to become a wizard, planned a promising future for Dudley, helped Vernon get rid of the use of the goblin bank, and started my mysterious life. The Secretary of Affairs rescued him and got his heart back, giving Dudley such a good opportunity to participate in the affairs of the Ministry of Magic at a young age.
——Everything makes us feel that there is nothing to repay, and we can only hide this gratitude in our hearts. My husband and I often taught Dudley that the great benefactor of our family was Anthony Weasley. Dudley is an obedient boy, he will remember everything you have done for our family.
——I owe so much, I shouldn’t bother you anymore, but I hesitated for a long time, and I still have to write to tell you the news.
—Vernon is crazy!
——He actually fantasized about Dudley's dream of becoming a minister of the Ministry of Magic, and asked his former colleague Goblin of the Goblin Bank to help him secretly contact the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. He returned to the wizarding world again, as a Muggle!
—he said he wanted to pave the way for Dudley's future.
—he said he saw an opportunity.
——I really can't understand that he can go to those who have hurt me to seek cooperation opportunities, but I know that he is for our precious Dudley, and I don't blame him.
——I'm just worried, worried that he, a weak Muggle, will be devoured by wizards until not a single bone remains.
——I don't expect you to continue to do anything for our family, and we have nothing to repay. I just want to tell you this news, maybe you will be useful.
—If... I mean if... ever Vernon is useful to you, I want you to know that our family is always grateful for everything you have done for us, and Vernon would do anything for you.
—Sorry to bother you, but I don't know who else I can tell this about. I've heard Harry talk about Severus (Snape), who supposedly served the man who killed my sister, and I really don't know anyone else to contact.
—Sorry for the interruption, and my deepest thanks.
— Petunia Dursley.
...
...
Anton took a deep breath. The deep love of his parents and the deep affection between husband and wife really touched him a little.
As an orphan, he had longed for such a family in his previous life.
Seeing the nervousness written on Dudley's chubby face, he couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, shaking his hands, causing the letter paper to turn into flames and burn out.
"Your mother is still worried about her heart problem, you write to her and tell her..."
Anton frowned, "Don't worry, it's fine."
"Oh, ok." Dudley immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled happily.
Anton added some tea to Dudley with a smile, and asked, "I heard you're doing well with Draco now?"
Dudley grinned foolishly and scratched his head, "Master Malfoy is kind to me, and he also showed me some potions notes you shared with him."
"Oh, yeah..."
Anton nodded, "You can come to me if you have any questions, or you can ask Professor Snape, I heard he likes you a lot?"
"Hmm." Dudley held his teacup in a restrained manner, and looked at Anton cautiously, "Professor Snape said that I have a talent in potions from pure wizard blood."
ha~
Anton almost laughed out loud, and nodded with his lips pursed, "Then learn more from Professor Snape, he is the top Potions scientist today."
"OK."
The two didn't chat much, Dudley stood up, bowed a little stiffly, and left the hut.
Anton looked down from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and could see that the fat boy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if there was great pressure in front of him.
"Tsk..."
Anton smacked his lips. This was the first time he felt this kind of emotion in someone else's soul—respect.
A kind of fanatical pursuit different from the dark wizards, but a kind of respect when meeting the godfather.
It feels weird.
