Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

Chapter 96 The Unusual Blackthorn Wand

"Is there something wrong with this wand?" Dean asked cautiously, feeling that something was wrong.

Aberforth took the wand without saying a word, waved it slightly, and felt the magic wave coming from it for a moment before saying in a cold voice: "If I admit it correctly, this wand has a lot of history."

"Really?" Dean's eyes lit up, and he remembered that Snape once said that this was an extraordinary wand.

Could it be that I am so lucky that the two wands I own are extraordinary?

"The former owner of this wand was Gellert Grindelwald." Aberforth's next words almost scared Dean to death.

Is there any mistake?He had always wanted to find the previous owner of the blackthorn wand, and was preparing to win the wand from the other party, but he never expected that his opponent would be the first generation Dark Lord!

The joke was a bit big and Dean said he needed to calm down.

"Boss, are you making a mistake?" Dean asked with some anxiety.

"How could I be wrong!" Aberforth suddenly raised his voice and roared, "It was this wand that killed my sister. How could I admit that I was wrong?"

Dean was completely frightened. He did not expect that Grindelwald used this wand in the melee between the three of them that led to Ariana's death.

Could it be that Aberforth broke the wand out of anger?

Dean looked at the furious Aberforth in fear, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Sorry, I'm a little out of control." It took a long time for Aberforth to regain his composure.

"I can completely understand how you feel." Dean looked at the blackthorn wand longingly. Aberforth seemed to have no intention of returning it to him, causing his heart to remain in doubt.

"Since killing my sister with this wand, Grindelwald has changed his wand. I thought he destroyed the wand that caused his break with my brother, but I didn't expect that it ended up in your hands. ." Aberforth said with a complicated expression.

So now this wand belongs to me, please give it back to me!Dean screamed in his heart, but kept his mouth tightly closed, not daring to say anything for fear of irritating Aberforth.

"That makes sense." Aberforth didn't seem to notice Dean's expression and said to himself: "It's possible that Mundungus and Burke wanted to play a joke on you and put you on the spot. Sent to a 'scary' place, but it's a pity that they shouldn't use this wand as a door key."

"I don't understand a little bit," Dean said.

"Their initial destination may be to send you to a location near Knockturn Alley - after all, they are using the portkey illegally. If they are too far away, they will definitely be discovered by the Ministry of Magic. And with their abilities, It's not enough for a portkey to take you that far." Aberforth explained, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Really? But I remember that the place where the ruins were was very cold and cold, unlike the weather in Great Britain at that time." Dean recalled a detail that was ignored at the time.

"Of course. You were taken to the other side of the ocean by this portkey," Aberforth said, "not the ruins they thought."

Dean was shocked. It was incredible that he had accidentally gone abroad for a while.

"Can you tell where it is specifically?" Dean had a vague guess in his mind.

"In a valley somewhere on the border of Germany and Austria." Aberforth looked at Dean and said, "Maybe you are more familiar with the name there - Nurmengard."

"Impossible! There is almost no one there!" Dean immediately retorted.

Nurmengard is one of the two most famous prisons in the Harry Potter world, as famous as Azkaban. Legend has it that Grindelwald was imprisoned there after his defeat.

Dean didn't think that if he was teleported there, he wouldn't be discovered by anyone guarding Grindelwald, and he allowed him to take the Blood Oath Pendant calmly.

"Why should there be anyone there?" Aberforth asked.

"Guard, guard guarding Grindelwald." Dean shouted.

"In fact, if Grindelwald wanted to escape from prison, no one would be able to watch him, so he was completely in self-exile and no one would be watching him," Aberforth said.

"Sorry, you told me this, aren't you afraid of leaking the secret?" Dean felt that Aberforth was a bit exaggerated to tell him, a little wizard who was only 11 years old on the surface.

"Originally it was not possible, but you are different." Aberforth said softly.

"Why? Is it because of this wand?" Dean asked half-jokingly.

"Correct." Aberforth replied extremely seriously.

"...This joke is not funny at all." Dean said with a straight face.

"This is no joke, Dean." Aberforth stroked the blackthorn wand, "There has always been a legend - no, to be precise, it was a prophecy. Grindelwald has been looking for his heir, and one day he will be his heir." When the successor appears, he will be brought to him, and that is when he will make a comeback."

"You mean the heir he found is me?" Dean pointed to his nose and asked in disbelief.

"So far it seems so." Aberforth did not deny it.

"This is ridiculous! Maybe it's just a legend!" Dean shook his head.

"After Grindelwald failed, his former followers have been pursuing this prophecy all their lives and have been trying to find this person. Secretly, they tried every means but found nothing. Unexpectedly, the key was found by Grindelwald long ago. On the unused wand!" Aberforth sighed.

"I think you must have made a mistake somewhere." Dean shook his head and said, "I remember that Nurmengard is unable to apparate, but before I arrived at the ruins, at least two people did use apparation. , which is enough to prove that it is not Nurmengard.”

"You are both right and wrong," Aberforth said. "The real Nurmengard is not only unable to apparate, but also cannot use portkeys. This was set up by Grindelwald when he built it. prohibition."

"So..." Dean was about to say something but was interrupted by Aberforth.

"So you arrived at the outskirts of Nurmengard," Aberforth said.

"Didn't you say that I was Grindelwald's chosen heir? Why didn't he bring me directly to him? So all this is nonsense!" Dean said plausibly.

"No, I can only think that the time was not right at that time." Aberforth shook his head.

"When is the right time?" Dean asked.

"Perhaps when you are ready, take the initiative to meet Grindelwald." Aberforth said meaningfully.

"You mean, as long as I don't take the initiative to find Grindelwald, I won't become his designated heir?" Dean asked.

"That's the theory." Aberforth chuckled.

"Then I'm afraid he will be disappointed. I have no intention of looking for him at all!" Dean said angrily.
