Chapter 473: If, Soft doesn’t work, use hard

It's not that an easy victory is bad, and Jon himself knows very well that in fact there is nothing wrong with what these straw men like Hunter think about certain things.

The war between wizards, the small fights between such people at the bottom alone can not establish the situation, whether it is the Alliance led by Grindelwald more than fifty years ago, or Voldemort eventually ruled the United Kingdom more than ten years ago, the key to the victory is in the last single duel.

Like that incident in the past of Grindelwald, when the Alliance was unprecedentedly powerful, after losing the duel with Dumbledore, even the biggest organisation faced disintegration.

The current situation is the same, the Witching Horizon has an absolute advantage and has even fought to Diagon Alley, but as long as Voldemort is still present, he has not stepped forward, which means the current victory is not enough to the extent of certainty.

But at this time it was obvious that the British Ministry of Magic had no way to resist the advances of the Witching Horizon, so what is Voldemort doing?

Just by reading the news in the newspaper, Jon of course couldn't figure out this matter, but Voldemort's matters didn't need him to worry about, all he needed to do nowadays was to complete the task Dumbledore had entrusted to him.

So in the following two days, he intentionally or unintentionally remained in the Department of Mysteries, to get close to the pureblood named "Dandy".

This middle-aged male wizard, who also came from the New School pureblood family, didn't seem like an easy person to get in touch with, even if he knew that Jon was already considered to be a member of their side, he still had a lukewarm relationship, as if treating him the same as those straw men like Hunter and warned him not to make trouble casually.

As it was, things were getting tricky for Jon.

Getting close seemed to be not working out a bit, and Jon, feeling that he couldn't hang himself on one tree, found a moment to start talking to Slughorn about it.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"I have a message from Dumbledore."

Before Jon could say a word, Slughorn was the first to speak.

"He got a piece of information that he doesn't know if it's accurate or not, Voldemort will most likely be leading the Death Eaters himself for a counter-attack starting a week after Christmas, and he's already pressured to do so."

Jon frowned at this point as well.

"Dumbledore gave us an appointment around this time as well, he said that we had to find the item before he and Voldemort duelled, and if Voldemort has personally stepped up to the challenge by then, then he is sure that he will be able to face him straight on as well; but, if we got that item he is sure to deal with Voldemort fully."

"How's it going on your end?"

"Well, Coles and the others were talking to me earlier, you guys seem to have some kind of different circle going on together, he also kindly invited me to join in, saying that it would give me unexpected surprises, I've been thinking about all those things these days, can you give me a detailed talk about it?"

Dandy frowned slightly, he certainly knew about the matter of Coles and others inviting him to join the circle.

But there was also a reasonable division of labour amongst the purebloods, work like this kind of socialising was basically left to those who only ate, drank and had fun, Dandy had never been involved in such things.

But a figure like Slughorn, his identity is really special, and now that he has shown his intention to join, Dandy feels that he shouldn't reject it.

Just before he opened his mouth to chat formally, he still glanced around the entire head office, and his eyes finally stopped on the door to the private bedroom.

Slughorn saw his wariness and smiled.

"Is it because you're afraid there's a third person in there? You can open it if you're unsure, I don't mind."

However, the more Slughorn spoke like this, the less Dandy would suspect anything more, as Voldemort's former Head, Slughorn's position was always a little more lofty.

"Did you notice the character and nature of our lord, who we currently serve, is different from the one we have pledged our allegiance to in the past?" Dandy asked, staring closely into Slughorn's eyes.

No one would be light-hearted when it came to chatting about something so close to amounting to treason.

Slughorn's face showed a timely bit of doubt and gravity.

And just then, the bedroom door quietly opened a crack, and a finger and a wand stuck out of it in unison!
