Chapter 474 Chapter 472 If Soft Tactics Don’t Work, Use Hard Tactics

Chapter 474 472. If you can’t be soft, then you can be hard.

It's not that it's not good to win easily, and Jon himself knows very well that in fact, Hunter and idiots are not wrong about certain things.

In a war between wizards, the situation cannot be determined by the small fights of the following people. Whether it is the wizarding party led by Grindelwald more than fifty years ago, or Voldemort who finally ruled Britain more than ten years ago and decided the victory. The key lies in the final single duel.

Just like Grindelwald's past, the Umbrella Party was unprecedentedly powerful at that time. 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 has not come forward, it means that the current victory is not enough to be certain.

But at this time, it is obvious that the British Ministry of Magic has no way to resist Wu Ping's attack. What is Voldemort doing?

Of course Jon couldn't figure it out just by reading the news in the newspaper, but he didn't need to worry about Voldemort. All he needed to do now was to complete the task assigned to him by Dumbledore.

So in the next two days, he intentionally or unintentionally got close to the pureblood named "Dandy" who stayed in the Department of Mysteries.

This middle-aged wizard who is also from a pure-blood family of the new school does not seem like an easy person to get in touch with. Even if they know that Jon is already on their side, the relationship is still a lukewarm one, like He treated him as the same idiots as Hunter, and warned him not to cause trouble.

Now, things are getting tricky for Jon.

It seemed that the close relationship was not feasible. Jon felt that he could not hang himself from a tree, so he found a time to discuss the matter with Slughorn.

"Dumbledore sent me news."

Before Jon could speak, Slughorn spoke first.

"He got a piece of information that he didn't know whether it was accurate or not. It is very likely that Voldemort will personally lead the Death Eaters to launch a counterattack on Christmas Day a week later. He can no longer hold back."

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 duels with Voldemort. If Voldemort comes forward in person by then, then the professor will definitely face him directly."

"How's the progress over there?"

Jon shook his head and said.

"It's good to break into the inside, but Hunter and his bunch of idiots don't know anything at all. The ones who know a little bit about things in the Department of Mysteries should be Dandy and his group. But I have tried to communicate with them. Dandy has been in contact for three days, but he has no intention of talking to me anymore, and his tone is very strict, so I am thinking that if soft is not enough, we can only do hard. "

Slughorn understood what Jon meant.

"You mean to give him truth serum directly?"

Jon nodded.

"We have to find an opportunity to trick him out alone. If any of these people really know what is there in the Department of Mysteries, then the high probability is with this Dandy. We need to start with him, even we need to 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 don't get any useful information from him in two days, I will find an excuse to let him come to the office alone. You and I can control him!"

After settling the matter with Slughorn and discussing everything, Jon continued to try to communicate with Dandy, and then he discovered that there are idiots among purebloods and people who can do things. Dandy and Hunter Those people are fundamentally different.

He may not be a young person who can study advanced magic, but he behaves like a professionally trained person. Through insinuations, Jon also found out that before Voldemort ruled Britain, he was a trained person from the British Ministry of Magic. A pure Auror, even if he became a Death Eater over the years, he had not been corrupted by the luxurious life.

It was really not easy to deal with such a person. Two days later, Jon completely gave up on what he could gain from words. The current situation on the battlefield could not 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."

Dandy still had the most basic courtesy towards Slughorn, but Slughorn was much more enthusiastic. He asked the wizard, who could 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 put some desserts on the table.

"Dandy Collison, I've always wanted to have a good chat with someone as good as you."

After some useless pleasantries, Slughorn said meaningfully.

"Well, Coles and the others talked to me before. It seems that you have some different circles together. He also kindly invited me to join, saying that he would give me unexpected surprises. I have been thinking about this these days. Can you tell me more about it?"

Dandy frowned slightly. Of course he knew about Russ Lughorn's joining the gang.

But there is a reasonable division of labor among purebloods. Social work like this is basically left to those who only know how to eat, drink and have fun. Dandy has never been involved in such things.

But people like Slughorn are really extraordinary. Now that he has shown his intention to join, Dandy thinks he should not refuse.

But before he started to talk formally, he still looked around the director's office, and his eyes finally stopped on the door of the private bedroom.

Slughorn saw his vigilance and said with a smile.

"Are you afraid that there is a third person? If you are not sure, you can open it and take a look. I don't mind."

However, the more Slughorn said this, the less suspicious Dandy was. As Voldemort's former dean, Slughorn's status is always a little transcendent.

"Do you have any doubts that our master has always been the one we are loyal to now?" Dandy asked, staring into Slughorn's eyes.

When talking about something as serious as treason, no one would take it lightly.

Slughorn showed a little doubt and solemnity on his face at the right time.

At this moment, the bedroom door was quietly opened a crack, and a finger and a wand stretched out from it!
