The Mysterious Return of Hogwarts

The magic is retreating.

Neo gradually fell behind, the golden light retreated from the green light. Dumbledore used the Elder Wand to force Neo to stay where he was. He was still strolling around, and Neo had to start chanting spells quickly to maintain himself.

Everyone outside the court just took it for granted. Without the cloak of fear, the cover of darkness, and without a group of hyena servants, how could the Dark Lord compete with Dumbledore?

"Except your weapons!"

This time it was Dumbledore who was chanting the spell. He had the upper hand and wanted to capture Neo alive. Of course, he never intended to kill him. Death was no longer the end for this former student. After understanding this, he knew that today The best result at night is to gain a prisoner.

Dumbledore had this delusion, and of course Neo chose to satisfy it.

He stood there, carefully avoiding the vital points, and then threw the wand in his hand the moment his body was hit.

To his dismay, Dumbledore reached out and took his wand.

Neo turned into black smoke and climbed up from the ground. After his figure became clear, he already had a new wand in his hand.

On the opposite side, Dumbledore looked at his left hand. Dozens of sharp wooden thorns pierced it. The wooden thorns that penetrated from the palm of his hand were all dyed red, and a layer of black began to creep up and spread on the skin.

Blood is always the best carrier of curse.

"How... could you forget my research into wandmaking?"

Neo raised his wand, thought about it, and then put it down out of boredom.

McGonagall on the sidelines noticed that something was wrong, Dumbledore had been plotted, and the wand was poisonous... Moody in the shadows turned his magic eye. In his sight, Dumbledore's entire right arm had been completely destroyed. It was black, with an ominous presence entrenched in the flesh.

After thinking about it, should I hand my prosthetic manufacturer's business card to Dumbledore's desk later?

The old Auror stood in the light, wanting to put some pressure on Neo and provide time for Dumbledore to remove the curse. Naturally, McGonagall did the same. Their preparations made Neo glance at them and he snapped his fingers.

Dobby appeared in the air. He looked so short and weak, and his big helpless eyes looked at everyone in fear.

But when Moody saw it, he screamed in anger...

"You let a house elf hold a wand!"

"If you make any loud noise again, I will give it some clothes immediately..."

Of course Neo knew how impactful Dobby's image was to the tradition of the wizarding world, but he was the Dark Lord, wasn't he?

"Okay, let's start again."

The wand in Dumbledore's left hand turned into fragments and fell off from the wound. The bleeding was stopped, and soon the black color faded away. This did not make him proud, because he was able to solve the curse so quickly because Neo gave him two A teacup... This child seems to have calculated that he will definitely fall for his curse.

Hearing this, Neo frowned. The purpose of his test had been achieved, and he didn't really want to continue killing... a waste of talent.

"You are powerful, Dumbledore, so don't make me kill you."

Neo's words obviously aroused the dissatisfaction of Moody and Mag.

"what are you saying......"

Click, click...

Neo threw two wands at the feet of the two, who chose not to speak and took a step back.

"Ha, I haven't heard such interesting words in many years. I will die, but not today." Dumbledore still looked at Neo calmly, but after seeing the unquestionable rejection in his eyes, he understood. Neo had good intentions.

What a rare thing, it's a pity that it appeared too late.

Seeing the house elves appearing, Dumbledore knew that the battle could no longer continue. Hogwarts' anti-disapparation could not restrain this inhuman species. He could also order the house elves here to join the battle, but In that case, the intensity of the battle would rise to the level of war.

Villains are always better suited to war.

He didn't know what means of destruction Neo would use in such a situation. Maybe, as he said before, the Death Eaters destroyed half of London, or they might take revenge on innocent wizards afterwards.

He would do this because Voldemort liked to keep his promises.

Dumbledore didn't want to see such a thing. This was a kind of helpless appeasement. Chamberlain and others among the Muggles did this to Germany. Grindelwald took the opportunity to start a genocide of millions of people. Today he is facing the same situation. In a similar situation, he also knew that his choice was wrong.

But who can say that it is right to ignore the present because of worrying about the future?

"What you said before, Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, are you serious?" Dumbledore changed the topic and the battle was over, but the conversation continued, digging into the Dark Lord's thoughts, will, and even secrets. This is very meaningful. .

I would be more willing to tell you what you want to know if you don't hold the Elder Wand when you speak.

"Of course, I think if I don't stay under your nose, you won't be able to sleep well. I have to get rid of some disturbances in my life. Don't worry, while I'm at Hogwarts, the Death Eaters will If they are restrained, they will focus on construction. They have to spend a period of time to recover from the suffering they have suffered. This can be regarded as atonement. Of course, I don't actually think that their sins in the war will have to be liquidated afterwards. , after staying with dementors for so long, death is a mercy..."

Neo spread his hands and said very sincerely, but when he saw the angry expression on Mag's face, he added.

"If this is not enough, how about you pull out a list, and I will cut off the heads of the people on the list, or extract their souls, and hand them over to you?"

"This is no joke, I'm also a... sin-hating person."

You just said that they are your family, claiming that the Death Eaters are your real family...

Mag actually began to seriously consider the feasibility of this matter, because Neo put it forward very frankly, and he seemed to really think that sacrificing some of his party members in exchange for peace had nothing to do with it.

Wasn't he worried that these words would get out and cause a rebellion among the Death Eaters?

Well, Death Eaters were never very loyal, so there really wasn't anything to worry about.

But Moody was opposed to this kind of immoral killing. He was an Auror with superb magic, but he left so many scars on his body that could not be healed. Just because during the war that year, he insisted on arresting people without killing anyone. Predating Death Apostles.

When he was about to express something passionately, someone spoke up.

"Okay." Dumbledore finally said, "Back to the previous topic, I want to know why you came to Hogwarts to be a professor. You have been planning this for a long time. If you don't count the time of Principal Armando, , you mentioned this in our previous meeting."

"I remember how solemn you were at that time. It made me feel strange. I didn't even recognize you, Tom..."

Neo waved his hand.

"So my name is Neo now, and Dumbledore, don't think this is a regret from my school days. I want to make up for the past or something. I'm not that fragile yet. As for why, I just want to ask... ..Dumbledore, in your eyes, what is a student?"
