Living peacefully at Hogwarts

Chapter 139 There is always a flame unwilling to be extinguished

No one knew what the old man's name was, and people around him just called him "Old Cripple".

The old cripple is a gardener, and he is kind to everyone. Even if a child accidentally kicks over his water bottle, or pulls off a few flowers that he is responsible for taking care of, he is not angry, just keeps giggling.

Be honest and never cause trouble.

The old cripple lived comfortably.

At the end of the day's work, the old cripple walked slowly back to his hut with the kettle in his hand.

He has no children, no wife, and has lived alone for many years.

but
The hut has always been empty, but today there are suddenly many people.

Some are familiar, some are unfamiliar.

But without exception, their collars or cuffs all bear a triangular brass mark - an open eye.

"Hehe, it's quite fresh."

The expression on the old cripple's face remained the same, he slowly put the kettle away according to his usual habits, and took off his dirty coat.

As if he didn't see those people in the room, he walked to the small kitchen, made himself a cup of tea, and leaned comfortably on the sofa.

"Sit down, don't stand and talk, just sit down."

"Mr. Zod."

The old cripple was very polite, but those people were very reserved.

They looked at the old man sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and bowed their heads respectfully.

Zod.

The old cripple's name.

"Who, who is that, tsk, well, I haven't used that name for a long time."

The old cripple wanted to pretend to be stupid, but he pretended halfway, and suddenly lost interest, he just clicked his teeth with his mouth, tilted his head, and looked at the person from a different angle.

"So, you haven't given up yet, have you?"

Those people were silent. They knew what Mr. Zod was talking about—rescue the leader "Gellert Grindelwald" and make a comeback.

"Give it up, you crazy bastards."

The old cripple sighed, and persuaded with a tone of someone who had experienced it.

"It's useless."

If it is useful, is it still necessary for these people to go to Nurmengard to rob the prison?

30, maybe even 40 years ago, Zod could have done it himself.

"No, things are different now."

The leader seemed a little excited, but he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Mr. Zod.

So he lowered his voice, tried his best to use a calm tone, and spoke word by word.

"The situation is different now, and I believe that we can succeed this time."

"What's the difference?"

The old cripple sneered.

He was very relaxed, and he was not at all moved by the other party's words. He narrowed his eyes, and the old man's words even leaked a bit of the dialect nearby.

"We found the members of the Grindelwald family."

The man in the lead threw out his trump card.

It wasn't just discovered recently, the surname "Grindelwald" was once again spread throughout the European magic circle more than two months ago.Thinking about it, the Medal of Merlin First Class is such a great honor, how could it be possible to keep a low profile.

That is to say, the old cripple was in a remote place and mixed among a group of Muggles who couldn't use magic, so he didn't know.

"Oh, so what."

The old cripple picked out his ears.

Not to mention the convictions of the Grindelwald family back then, even if there are three or two big cats and kittens left, this group of young people will not think that their leader is a man who loves and cares for his family.

Is there any difference between a clansman and a passer-by?

"This time, the leader did not reject us."

Excitement flashed in his eyes, the leader suppressed his excitement, and his body trembled slightly.In fact, this is also the reason why he came here and wanted to persuade Zod to come out of the mountain again and plan together with them.

No rejection, just acquiescence!
"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zod was a little dazed.

"This is impossible!"

He dare not say that he is the person who knows Gellert Grindelwald best in the world, but he can definitely be ranked in the top ten.

Talented, ambitious, charismatic, and vicious.
Gellert has many labels on him.

But Zod felt that Gellert's biggest label should be "paranoia."

When that man decides on one thing, he puts everything behind him.

If the family obstructed him, he left the family.

If the school interfered, he left the school.

Apart from himself, there is nothing he refuses to give up.

He is very selfish.

Therefore, when he was defeated by Dumbledore, he was completely abolished.

To die alone in that fortress became his wish.

Like
It was like trying to put the status of wizards above Muggles back then.

How could such a person change his mind because of an inexplicable clansman.

"it is true."

The leader was in a hurry and took out the newspaper he had prepared.

"Look."

Zod took it and looked at the conspicuous photo in the newspaper, the handsome young man's smile immediately hit his heart.

"hiss."

He took a deep breath.

resembles.

As the first group of people who followed Grindelwald, he had seen the leader when he was young.

The boy in the newspaper is at least seven or eight points similar to the leader!
But as far as he knew, the leader himself should not have left any blood descendants.
"It is the offspring left by the chief's brother, and this is the last one."

The leader explained.

"More than ten years ago, before our people went to the Grindelwald family's estate, this child was kicked out by the Ministry of Magic because he was too young, and we couldn't find him.

Now, he was brought to Hogwarts by Dumbledore and began to show his talents to the outside world. "

Speaking of this, the old cripple saw the news about the "Medal of Merlin First Class" mentioned in the newspaper, and the look of surprise on his face became even stronger.

"so?"

After spending a few minutes digesting the information he just heard, the old cripple looked at the group with scrutiny.

"What are you going to do?"

"First, first rescue the leader and gather the organization."

The leader has already had a draft.

"Second, snatch this child and Klein Grindelwald from Dumbledore. This is our hope, and we cannot leave it in that person's hands."

Those who follow Grindelwald are extremists who "supreme the interests of wizards".They are so extreme that they have been dormant for decades, and they have not given up on that great ideal - to let wizards rule the world.

Grindelwald is the banner, irreplaceable.

But what really made them see hope recently was the appearance of Klein Grindelwald.

Such a terrifying talent is simply the best gift for their organization!

Support the old master and cultivate the new master.

Their future looks bright for the next 50 years.

"It's hard."

The old cripple rubbed his hands and told the truth, but he didn't continue to attack these lunatics like before.

"but"

He changed his words.

"Worth a try."

There are always some flames that are unwilling to be extinguished.

Just like sparks hidden in ashes, if you don't fiddle with them, you may not be discovered in your life, but if you encounter firewood, it will burst out with unimaginable energy!
