Science students at Hogwarts

The dark ocean swallowed up the last ray of light, and the pieces of ice on the sea continued to rise and fall with the cold wind, making crisp collision sounds.

Flitwick struggled to take out many strange things from a bronze suitcase, and Slughorn stood aside curiously watching his every move.

To be honest, he had been exposed to more Muggle things tonight than he had in half his life.

At first, he had a joking view, thinking that the Malfoy family was just using the children's name to win over Snape, the potions master.

But when he came to this house in London and saw all kinds of scientific instruments and daily household appliances, especially after Snape introduced him to mass spectrometers and Muggle science in detail, his attitude finally changed. Something has changed.

As the largest potion dealer in the pure-blood family, Slughorn had already received Lucius's samples.

He experimented several times and readily signed a contract with Lucius, but he never delved into its principles, let alone the relationship with Muggles behind it.

In addition to expressing surprise at Muggle technology, Horace also expressed a sad chill.

He was shocked that the huge network of people he had managed for many years knew nothing about it.

Although Snape explained that in order to avoid the resistance of wizards, he directly gave Fudge the green light, but did not register the relevant content with the Ministry of Magic due to commercial confidentiality reasons.

But the mass spectrometer, an alchemical device with epoch-making significance, was the sensational news that it was born from Muggles. He should have learned about it from his spider web as soon as possible.

This way he could pat students on the shoulder and share the news mysteriously to fill his vanity.

Instead of listening to Lucius and the others introducing him one by one like a Muggle who had just arrived in the magical world.

Horace had never missed teaching at Hogwarts so much!

When he thought that so many of the rising stars of Hogwarts didn't know him, his heart felt as if it had been scratched by a cat.

However, he did not dare to go back.

He didn't know why Dumbledore brought up old things again and asked about that person. Although he was pretending well now, who could guarantee that he wouldn't reveal his flaws in the face of the White Wizard's many temptations?

What's more, why did Dumbledore suddenly test himself?It's possible that he discovered that the man was still alive!Sooner or later Dumbledore would find out that he was the one who told him that!

Horace shuddered slowly. He wiped the sweat from his head and reminded himself that he could not think about it any more. This secret would only be taken to the coffin.

Horace returned his attention to the instruments in Snape's new home, pretending to be curious and asking about Muggle knowledge.

A gaze stayed on him for a long time, and he followed it with a frown. It was an old man with sharp eyes.

The old man was tall and well-dressed, with gray hair neatly combed back.

Noticing Horace's gaze, he nodded politely.

Unexpectedly, the Malfoy couple beside them suddenly became nervous. Lucius subconsciously stood in front of his wife, holding the cane tightly in his hand.

The white wizard came out cheerfully. He handed over the beautifully wrapped gifts, exaggeratedly expressed his love for this house to Snape, and finally reminded them not to forget what happened at night and left with the old man.

Horace was a little dumbfounded. No one introduced him to the guests just now, and no one told him that there were activities in the evening?

Didn't I agree that I would be the only Riddler in Hogwarts?Why does it seem like everyone is the Riddler now?

Fortunately, Narcissa answered his doubts in time, but the name she spat out was enough to make him fall into an ice cave.

Gellert Grindelwald, the man who created the terror that swept Europe, would appear here openly!

Horace thought the world had gone crazy.

He even had the strange idea that Dumbledore was involved with the first Dark Lord, so the mistakes he made were not worth mentioning.

Driven by this crazy idea, he even offered to join tonight's event.

That night, the group came to Southend-on-Sea, the cave where Voldemort visited most often when he was a child.

Kreacher had rushed back from the United States a long time ago, and he finally waited for the day to take his little master home.

Draco memorized the spells about the Inferi in Slytherin's notes over and over again, fearing that something would go wrong.

The Malfoys held each other tightly, and Lucius gave his wife silent encouragement.

The gentle light of the fluorescent spell shone gently on them, but it could not shine on the cave. The dark cave stood there silently, swallowing up all the light.

Elios stood on the stone steps in front of the cave and carefully looked at the tall cave.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald were seriously discussing the magic used on the rock wall.After a while, Grindelwald stepped back and watched with interest as Albus traced traces of magic with his wand.

Soon, a white light flashed on the rock wall.

"You have to pay enough to get in," Grindelwald read softly. "Oh, that's so cliche."

"Kreacher knows! It needs enough blood! The little master cut himself here! Use my blood!" Kreacher screamed, his eyes filled with tears, and he was about to cut his own with a knife arm.

Flitwick stopped him.

"This is blood from St. Mungo's Hospital," Flitwick said, showing the bottle in his hand.

"What about these?" Horace looked at the things on the ground, "Do you want to blow them up again?"

He had heard about what happened at Hogwarts and made a joke. Unexpectedly, Flitwick answered him with a serious face.

"Yes, we are prepared, but the structure here is too unstable and there is no magic circle like Hogwarts. We will not use explosives like last time unless it is absolutely necessary."

Not to mention Horace, even Elios was a little speechless. He didn't expect that Professor Flitwick would develop in a strange direction after what happened last time.

The blood-stained rocks slowly disappeared, and the cold wind rushed out of the cave. It rushed towards everyone with its anger.

Horace thoughtfully cast a warming charm on the two children, smiling and winking at them.

A silver-white phoenix flew in first, and everyone waited for the news.

Grindelwald seemed to remember something. He took out a silver ring and handed it to Elios, "This is the ring passed down by the Welfare family. You will use it."

Narcissa stared at him warily, "The Foley family ring has been lost for many years. Where did you find it?"

Grindelwald was not angry at her aggressive attitude. He shrugged, "Voldemort's treasure. In addition to Slytherin's inheritance, there is also the wealth he collected everywhere."

He looked into the distance, where Snape and his party were coming in a hurry.

"The gifts given out today also come from there."

Elios lowered his head and saw a dove shining on the ring.
