Hogwarts: When the live Q&A goes live

Chapter 197 The person I met was Dumbledore?No, that's Grindelwald
"It's getting more and more familiar, but I just forget what it is."

"Where did you see this sign?"

Karkaroff pondered, while Tom looked at Lockhart who brought the pendant.

"Gidero, tell me about what happened after you met Professor Dumbledore."

Upon hearing this, Lockhart gave Karkaroff a vigilant look.

Tom who noticed this scene was very satisfied.

It's nice to know that at least some things need to be kept private.

"Don't worry, Igor is one of his own, don't worry."

After getting the guarantee, Lockhart began to talk about what happened when he met Professor Dumbledore.

The time went back to ten hours ago.

In the principal's office, Grindelwald smiled and looked at Lockhart who had just arrived.

"Then who would that be?"

"Voldemort? Not quite!"

"Fudge? Unlikely."

"Tom must have asked you to come."

For the first time, Lockhart felt so nervous standing in front of Professor Dumbledore.

This was also the first time he recalled that the wizard in front of him was the man standing at the top of the magic world.

There are very few people who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him.

What's more, during this period of time in the German magic world, he had a relatively intuitive feeling of the reputation Dumbledore possessed.

And he himself was very curious about what Professor Dumbledore had experienced during the year he left Hogwarts.

Personally, he feels like a majestic Tom, which is intimidating.

"Yes, Professor."

Facing Professor Dumbledore like this, Lockhart didn't dare to hide anything.

So I went to Germany at the invitation of my friends, and met Tom Gunter who took root in that land.

He was taken to his base for a "friendly" exchange, and finally Lockhart promised Tom Gaunt that he would hand over the letter written by Tom to Professor Dumbledore in its entirety.

When he spoke, Lockhart was dry-mouthed.

But does he dare to say anything?

No, he really didn't dare.

Instead of daring, he stood upright at this moment, waiting for Dumbledore's response.

Grindelwald, who pretended to be Dumbledore, was silent for a moment, then tore open the envelope in front of Lockhart.

After reading the lines of text, Grindelwald put down the letter and was a little thoughtful.

The content of the letter is very simple, but according to Albus's character, it is very likely to ignore it.

but……

Grindelwald smiled slyly, he is not Albus.

It just so happened that he was very interested in what Tom boy was doing in the German magic world.

So... do you want to do something?

Grindelwald picked up the letter, his eyes lingering on the words on it.

Three seconds later, when Lockhart was waiting nervously.

Grindelwald put down the letter in his hand and looked at him.

"I already know about Tom, Gildero, would you like a glass of butter beer, here are some more, I believe you will like it."

"Okay, Professor, thank you very much."

Lockhart, who had been parched for a long time, had a less tense expression on his face, as if he was relieved.

Grindelwald waved, and a house-elf appeared in the principal's office.

"Professor Lockhart, Professor Dumbledore, is there anything I can do?"

"Give him a butterbeer, I think there's some left."

Grindelwald said, and he stroked his beard again.

"For me, have a glass of eggnog, and bring me some more candy, Zizi honey and chocolate balls, I have eaten all the candies here."

"Okay, Professor Dumbledore, please wait a moment."

After saying this, the house elf that just appeared disappeared again.

Grindelwald was very satisfied with this.

Then, his gaze turned to Lockhart again.

"Wait a minute, have a butterbeer before leaving, I'm going to find something, trust that little Tom... trust him he'll need that little thing I gave you."

Grindelwald almost said it fluently, and said what was in his heart.

It may also be that at Hogwarts he doesn't need to worry about anything, which also makes him more and more like the feeling of speaking as he pleases.

Although Lockhart felt that Professor Dumbledore was a little strange just now, he didn't think much about it.

He sat aside respectfully.

The house-elf just "whoosh" reappeared in the principal's office.

This time, he was holding two plates.

One plate was full of sweets, and the other contained two glasses of wine of different colors.

He put the butter beer in front of Professor Lockhart. This drink-like wine was loved by all kinds of wizards in the British magic circle.

Lockhart is no exception.

That is, he was a little curious.

Before I left Hogwarts, there was no butter beer in the school.

After I left... Could it be that Hogwarts no longer prohibits students from drinking alcohol?
Lockhart picked up the butter beer and took a swig.

He didn't think much about it either, he just wanted to drink more to quench his thirst now that his mouth was parched.

"I'm going first, Professor."

"Okay, you go."

After the house elves left, Grindelwald picked up the last glass of eggnog on the plate and took a sip.

Then he picked up the sizzling honey sugar from another plate and put it in his mouth.

"Try some candy, I think you haven't eaten candy here for a long time."

"Thank you very much, Professor Dumbledore."

Lockhart said something, and he was not polite or anything.

As we all know, Professor Dumbledore's favorite thing is to bring out his collection when children and people who don't like sugar are coming.

And when guests come, they hide their collections and take out other candies to parry the guests.

Lockhart had already experienced it once.

This is his second experience.

Of course, what he didn't know was.

The one sitting in front of him was not Dumbledore, but Gellert Grindelwald.

And more than half of Dumbledore's treasured candies went into this one's stomach.

Zizi honey candy and chocolate balls are the sweets that this one likes to eat more.

After feeling the delicious taste from his taste buds, Grindelwald stood up.

Come to the shelf with books and some decorations.

He glanced back and forth from the shelf, then reached out and pulled out a triangular pendant from above.

The inside of the triangle is hollow, with a large ball occupying the middle.

Grindelwald places the pendant on Lockhart's hand.

"Take it, this is the help I gave him."

"As for what this represents and what he can get from it, that's up to him."

Lockhart solemnly accepted the pendant handed over by Grindelwald.

He put it into his wizard robes.

"Thank you for your help, Professor."
