"Once public opinion began to ferment, Britain would have no choice but to respond, and Wade Grey would inevitably have to make a public appearance in the United States."
Brolin instructed, "Sera, when the time came, it would be your turn to step in."
Abigail raised her eyes and looked at him calmly, her gaze as loyal and pure as ever.
"You are to contact him as his teacher, tell him you want to protect his safety, confirm his true stance, and find out exactly how much he and Dumbledore have invested in this matter!" Brolin said.
Abigail nodded. "I have only one question—if I contact him at such a critical time, will Wade Grey trust me? What should I do if he suspects my identity?"
"Don't worry, he won't suspect you." Brolin smiled confidently. "During your time teaching at Hogwarts, you were very close to those students, and you even fought Dementors alongside them. He'll trust you."
How could feelings strong enough to change even a Patronus simply disappear?
He kept those words to himself and did not say them aloud.
A trace of confusion flickered through Abigail's eyes, but she did not ask further. She merely nodded again and silently accepted the mission.
"Rolando, I also want another story to start spreading—"
Brolin continued, "That video was actually an Acolyte conspiracy!"
"They disguised themselves as the long-vanished Scourers and staged this public provocation. Their real purpose was to use the opportunity to create chaos and infiltrate the Magical Congress—make the consequences sound as severe as possible, understand?"
Stern sighed in relief. "That's easy. Compared to a fifteen-year-old student, the public would definitely prefer to believe this was all an Acolyte scheme. But... what if the Acolytes heard the news and actually came to the United States..."
Brolin smiled.
