Wentworth glanced at the wizard hunter sitting on the ground and said slowly:
"If what he said is true, then we will hand him over to the law. If what he said is false, then please ask the principal to hand him over to me!"
Dumbledore nodded slightly after hearing this and then drew out his wand.
Then, the wizard hunter looked at Dumbledore with horror, walked towards him with his wand, and put the wand against his forehead.
The wizard hunter, who had already lost too much blood, turned even paler, and said weakly:
"Since you want to use Legilimency, then use it sooner rather than later. Why are you asking me this?"
Wentworth replied as a matter of course:
“This is called cross validation, you know nothing!”
"Legendary!"
After a moment, Dumbledore slowly put down his wand, nodded gently to Wentworth, and then said:
"Everything he said should be true, and there is no sign of his memory being tampered with."
At this moment, there were several explosions in the air around the three people, and many wizards in suits or coats, holding wands in their hands, suddenly appeared in front of them.
As soon as they appeared, they raised their wands in an orderly manner. Some of them pointed their wands at Dumbledore and Wentworth immediately, while others pointed their wands at the surroundings in a vigilant posture.
It was obvious that the Aurors from the British Ministry of Magic had Apparated here.
"Principal? Principal Dumbledore!"
Soon, the Aurors recognized Dumbledore. Even a few young Aurors, upon seeing Dumbledore, quickly moved their wands away from Dumbledore and greeted him respectfully.
However, this action was quickly rebuked by several older wizards.
"Stay alert. How many times have I told you rookies that when you are on a mission, even if you run into your father, do not let your guard down. How do you know that this is the real Dumbledore?!"
As he was being scolded, a wizard with brown hair, thick eyebrows, and a somewhat lion-like appearance, strode towards Dumbledore.
"Oh, Rufus, it's you. I heard from Fudge that you have replaced Thomas Revault as the new head of the Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic?"
Dumbledore said with a smile when he saw the wizard walking towards him.
The wizard called Rufus by Dumbledore walked up to Dumbledore with a vigilant look on his face, holding the wand tightly in his hand, and said: "Principal Dumbledore? Please forgive my rudeness, I need to check you to confirm your identity."
Dumbledore laughed and said nonchalantly: "Of course, Rufus, you are still so cautious. This is a good habit. Just like when you were dating that girl by the Black Lake, you would cast a spell around the area in advance, although the spell seems a bit crude now. By the way, the girl seemed to be called..."
Before Dumbledore could finish his words, Rufus interrupted him.
Rufus' smile was a little awkward, but he slowly put the wand in his hand back.
Dumbledore said with a playful look:
"It seems that the girl you finally married was not the one you married at the beginning?"
Rufus's expression became even more embarrassed, and he quickly turned his gaze to behind Dumbledore and asked curiously, "Principal Dumbledore, what is going on tonight?"
Dumbledore pulled Wentworth to his side and introduced him:
"Come, let me introduce you. This is Rufus, the new head of the Auror Office at the Ministry of Magic. This is Wentworth, a new student at Hogwarts."
Wentworth and Rufus smiled and nodded.
Then, Rufus turned his attention to the wizard hunter who was sitting on the ground with his back against a tree.
But the wizard hunter suddenly jumped up, raised his head and looked around, with a shocked expression on his face, and said: "Who are you? Why am I here? What's wrong with my hand? What happened?!"
Looking at the wizard hunter who seemed to have forgotten everything, Wentworth was surprised, but when Wentworth looked at Dumbledore, he saw Dumbledore looking at him meaningfully.
Wentworth knew clearly that this must be the work of Dumbledore. For Dumbledore, it was not easy to make this defenseless wizard forget everything that happened tonight.
After going up to him and asking a few questions, Rufus found that this strange wizard really didn't remember what happened tonight. Rufus had to turn his attention to Dumbledore again, as if he wanted to ask something, but he didn't know how to start.
Dumbledore did not make things difficult for Rufus and spoke directly, "Oh, this is what happened tonight. I was originally taking Wentworth out for something, but on the way back, we were suddenly stopped by a group of wizards. If I am not mistaken, this group of wizards should be wizard hunters."
Rufus frowned when he heard Dumbledore reveal their identities, but he did not interrupt Dumbledore. Dumbledore continued:
"After I fought with them, they wanted to escape. I didn't chase them because I had to take care of Wentworth. I just planned to leave a wizard behind to interrogate their origins. However, when I left this wizard behind, someone from the other side suddenly cast a forgetfulness spell on him, and the result became what it is now."
Wentworth was beside Dumbledore, looking frightened, and nodded from time to time to agree with Dumbledore.
After listening to Dumbledore's description, Rufus looked from Wentworth to the wizard hunter in turn, wondering what he was thinking. After a moment, Rufus spoke to himself: "According to our investigation, the disappearance of my predecessor, Thomas Revo, is also related to a group of wizard hunters..."
After hearing Rufus' description, Wentworth's heart tightened, but he remained calm on the surface, while Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about something.
"Okay, Headmaster Dumbledore, we will take care of this. I will take this wizard hunter away first and see if I can restore his memory. If I find anything new, I will inform you."
Hearing Rufus' words, Dumbledore smiled and nodded in response: "Of course, thank you for your help, Rufus. Let's go, Wentworth."
Just as Dumbledore took Wentworth's hand and was about to Apparate away, Rufus suddenly said, "Principal Dumbledore, you really take good care of Wentworth. First you took him to watch the Quidditch World Cup, and now you take him out late at night. By the way, I still don't know whose child Wentworth is, and what's his last name?"
