Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 107 Upper Nurmengard

"You came!"

"I am coming!"

"It's not like you, Albus, I thought you'd never set foot here in your life."

"Yes, originally it would not be possible, but now, here I am."

"Oh? Why? Could it be because of that little guy named Tom Gunter?"

"No, that's not the case, Gellert, I have found the wizard's way forward, an opportunity for us to delve into the deepest mysteries of magic."

On the tower of Nurmengard, one black and one white stand side by side.

Grindelwald was wearing a decent and comfortable black robe, which he only put on when Dumbledore arrived.

The purpose is not to lose face in front of this best friend and lover whom he has not seen for decades.

No matter what, he was extremely proud in his heart.

Trapped on this high tower, he is not so incomprehensible of outside information as outsiders can see.

You know, being trapped in Nurmengard was only because he wanted to trap himself here, and secondly because of Dumbledore.

The greatest white wizard of the century!

But now, it was rare for the Dark Lord, who stood shoulder to shoulder with the greatest White Wizard of the century, not to control the expression on his face.

A look of surprise appeared on his face.

"I'm old, even if you want to tell a joke to make me happy, you have to change it."

"Maybe, you can tell me the story about that little guy named Tom Gunter."

Although there was a moment of shock in his heart, he was still a Dark Lord who had seen the world before, so he calmed down his excited mood in the shortest possible time.

"No, Gellert, I'm telling the truth."

After thinking about it, Dumbledore decided to say more things, such as some things that happened at Hogwarts recently.

At that moment, he took Gellert's hand, pulled him a little closer to himself, and said mysteriously.

"Not sure if you know about... a thing called a question-and-answer space."

Looking at the old face approaching, a trace of astonishment flashed across Grindelwald's face, as if he didn't expect Dumbledore to do this suddenly.

Besides, looking at Dumbledore's appearance.

For some reason, he suddenly remembered that when he went to Germany decades ago, a wizard who was still a friend held his hand and said something to him in the same way.

"Do you believe in Jesus?"

This tone, this movement, this expression, is very similar to the situation back then.

In such a trance, Dumbledore has already begun to describe some things that happened in Hogwarts some time ago.

Then I heard that Hogwarts had a question-and-answer space dedicated to revealing secrets, and those who answered correctly could get valuable rewards.

He had already followed Dumbledore's train of thought.

And after hearing that Dumbledore had found a new path, the eyes of the Dark Lord who had been trapped in the tower for many years burst into a heart-pounding color.

"Our era has not ended, and it will be accompanied by a new era."

This is what he thought at the time.

Well-known figures in the wizarding world know that the vague ties between wizarding and Muggle worlds have always been on and off because of the Statute of Secrecy.

In fact, it is impossible for the wizard secrecy law to hide the existence of wizards all the time, but it is because they have a magic spell that can erase memory in their hands, which makes the wizard secrecy law continue like this.

But with the transformation of Muggles and the rapid changes, most wizards who saw this were a little apprehensive and uneasy, not knowing where they were going.

This is why Grindelwald was able to have so many people who followed him back then.

The main reason is that he wants to take the initiative to break the secrecy law, let the existence of wizards be known to the world, and strive to let all wizards walk in the light, instead of being like those mice hiding in the corners and deep in the shadows.

It is also because of this that so many wizards believe in him and choose to stand by his side to revolutionize the magic world together with him.

Although the result is a failure.

Gellert Grindelwald, who originally thought he would stay in Nurmengard all his life, knew that Dumbledore must have come to him for some reason.

Before, he thought it might be the Tom Gunter who had made a name for himself in the German magic world and who looked very similar to his student.

Or maybe his student who was dead but not frozen might be coming back to life.

But I didn't expect that these two things were the same thing, and so many unknown things happened in it.

Wonderful, very wonderful!
This old man who has been in Nurmengard Prison for decades is really called an expert.

And since Dumbledore learned about the deeds of the Q&A space and those rewards, he wondered in his heart whether he should find an opportunity to leave Nurmengard secretly.

Anyway, this place can't trap him, if he didn't want to stay here, he would have left long ago.

"Then what do you plan to do? Albus!"

"We can all see that the technology mastered by Muggles is changing with each passing day, and the International Wizarding Secrecy Act may be broken at any time. When we are discovered, there must be a war between us and them."

"So how did you plan it? Albus! How did you think about it?"

The same question twice in a row, but the question is not the same.

"Even in this high tower, you are still advancing with the times, Gellert!"

Dumbledore first teased him casually, and then his expression gradually became serious.

In fact, he didn't know what to do.

To break secrecy laws?

He wanted to do this, but unfortunately, he could only do so now.

Want to do it, but don't know how.

Unlike the situation in the past, the Muggles now have the ability to destroy them, but they have no way to deter them except for a little mystery.

This has to be said to be a very sad thing.

But even so, he still didn't agree with the idea that Grindelwald's wizards ruled Muggles.

"Perhaps the next time a question-and-answer space appears it will give us the method and the answer."

He muttered to himself, Grindelwald just sneered when he heard him say that, and didn't say anything.

In fact, they all know that the current situation is not that of the past.

How could those "smart wizards" fail to see the disadvantages and backwardness of the secrecy law.

It's just that they didn't have the courage to stand up and overthrow it. They just wanted to leave this issue to the later generations, and let the later generations solve the secrecy law.

But it is unexpected that "self" will become the biggest obstacle to the change of latecomers.

People, aren't they all like this!
