Chapter 350: The Gaunt Family Mansion

"Is it really okay?" Hermione confirmed again.

Hermione has always been very courageous in taking risks and upholding justice. She is determined and fearless. Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, she will move forward bravely.

But once it comes to breaking the law... the little witch will hesitate.

"Of course it's okay!"

Andy said affirmatively: "I have asked my father to help say hello, and there will be no problem today. Besides, even if someone really makes trouble, we can settle it with gold galleons."

Andy Rich Collins is fearless!

Hermione's face showed a complicated expression when she heard this.

It is indeed a happy thing to be able to use magic outside of school. But Andy's words made Hermione feel deeply worried.

The Ministry of Magic... has it become so corrupt?

"Use money to settle it?" Hermione asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.

As soon as Andy heard the tone of Hermione's words, he knew what she was worried about.

It’s just…

Is it really okay for you, a little witch in the second and soon-to-be third grade, to care about the political situation in the Ministry of Magic?

For the first time, Andy understood what it meant that the eunuchs were anxious when the emperor was not.

“Hmm!” Andy shrugged.

Hermione sighed and asked curiously, "What kind of person is the current Minister of Magic?"

"Fudge..."

Andy thought for a moment and said, "He's barely a capable person!"

Hermione: "?"

Andy spread his hands and said, "To be honest, before he became the Minister of Magic, Fudge was really good. He was upright, capable, and had great prestige in the magic world."

"If not, Fudge wouldn't have so many supporters, and Dumbledore wouldn't have recommended Fudge as the Minister of Magic."

Hermione was shocked, "Fudge was recommended by Professor Dumbledore?"

"That's right!"

Andy said, "But after becoming the Minister of Magic, Fudge's personality changed a lot. Or rather, this was his nature."

"Greed for power, greed for money... Greed makes him stupid."

"Okay!" Hermione was speechless.

In Andy's opinion, Fudge's personality is very similar to Yang Guang's.

Of course, it's just that their personalities are very similar.

When someone is pressing down on them, they will try to please the preferences of the superior. They will put on a mask to make themselves the kind of people that the superiors admire the most.

And when they stand at the pinnacle of power and go from pleasing others to being pleasing others, their true nature will gradually be exposed.

"You..."

Andy looked Hermione up and down, "You don't need to bring these tools, you just need to bring your wand. Everything else can be solved with magic."

"Okay!"

Hermione nodded, "Then I'll go clean it up."

After that, Hermione hurried back to the bedroom.

Andy sat in the living room and waited for a while. Not long after, I saw Hermione lying on the railing of the second-floor stairs, half of her body stretched out to look at Andy, waved, and said mysteriously: "Andy, come to my room."

Andy: "???"

Ah this...?

Because the incident happened too suddenly, Andy could hardly control his expression.

Hermione continued: "I have something to tell you."

Okay!

Andy went upstairs and followed Hermione into her bedroom, curiously asking, "What's so mysterious?"

"It's this!"

Hermione took out a small glass bottle from the drawer, "This is an anesthetic used by Muggles, the effect is to make people unconscious. I have tried it, it works for wizards too."

Andy took the bottle and asked curiously, "Where did you get it from?"

Hermione explained, "My parents are both dentists."

Andy thought for a moment and said, "We are just going on an adventure, we probably won't encounter enemies. Besides, even if we do, magic is more useful than this."

"Hmm..."

Andy suddenly pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, can you give me this bottle of anesthetic?"

Andy suddenly thought that after he subdued the prisoner who escaped from Azkaban, he could use anesthetics to deal with him and make him temporarily incapable of action.

"Of course." Hermione said generously.

"Thank you!" Andy happily put the anesthetic away.

Hermione took out a hair tie and tied her hair, "Okay! I'm ready to go!"

Andy stretched out his arm to signal Hermione, "Put your hand on it!"

When Hermione put her hand on Andy's arm, Andy immediately performed the Apparition.

Snap!

A second later, Andy and Hermione appeared outside the small village of Hangleton in northern England.

"We're here." Andy said.

"Ugh--"

Hermione felt a little nauseous and her face was a little pale, "The experience of Apparition is really terrible."

"It's always like this the first time."

Andy said helplessly: "And I have controlled it very stably...Are you okay? Do you need to rest for a while?"

"No!" Hermione waved her hand.

Andy sighed and handed a bottle of water to Hermione, "Drink some water and rest for a while! We don't know what dangers are waiting for us ahead. You have to keep yourself in good condition. Now is not the time to show off."

After that, Andy waved his wand.

The stone turned into a wooden chair, and several wooden stakes in the distance flew over, then quickly extended and turned into a pavilion more than two meters high.

"Sit down for a while!" Andy said.

"Nice Transfiguration."

Hermione sat down as he was told and teased, "If I were Professor McGonagall, I would definitely give you ten points."

Andy surrendered immediately and said in a complicated tone, "No! You must not become like Professor McGonagall..."

After saying that, Andy frowned and imitated Professor McGonagall.

Hermione glared at Andy, "If Professor McGonagall knew, she would beat you to death!"

After resting for a while, Hermione finally recovered.

"Andy, I'm rested." Hermione said excitedly.

Andy glanced at Hermione.

In fact, there was no big problem, but adventures must be focused at all times.

And the weather is hot now... Uncomfortable and hot, this is a double debuff, and you must rest for a while.

"Let's go!" Andy stood up and said.

The Gaunt family was once very rich and prominent, especially paying attention to luxurious pomp, and liked gorgeous clothes and food.

But their property had been squandered decades ago, and the last Gaunt family members lived in a simple house outside the village of Little Hangleton.

About five miles outside the village of Little Hangleton, a dilapidated house was hidden in the tangled trees between two steep hills.

"This is it."

Andy stood about ten meters outside the bushes, took out his wand and pointed at the space in front.

"There is no magical protection."

Andy said: "Let's go in!"
