HP in the name of Slytherin

If Grindelwald continues to be imprisoned in Nurmengard, his life will certainly be artificially shortened by a lot compared to that of ordinary wizards.

And if Catherine does not break the curse for him, when he is controlled by the magic field, the magic structure will change abnormally and his lifespan will be shortened, which will naturally constitute an artificial shortening of his life.

Not to mention that if these two people didn't show up, he would continue to stay in Nurmengard and turn back into the tool of Voldemort... Grindelwald would become irritable just thinking about that scene.

"You want me to acknowledge your life-saving grace..."

He frowned, rubbed his wrist, and snorted coldly: "You come from a more powerful ancient time. Don't you know that I have been marked by that law?"

Even if he doesn't admit it, the law has marked him as having to repay the favor.

He also knew in his heart that he had indeed been saved.

"Indeed..." Catherine put away her cold, arrogant and indifferent look at this time. She seemed to have suddenly regained her aristocratic dignity. She called for tables and chairs and gave Grindelwald, who had just woken up, warm milk and soft jam buns. "You must be hungry too. Eat something first?"

Grindelwald had already looked around when he was talking to Catherine. It was like a lonely stone room. Except for the bed where he was sitting, and the table and chairs that Catherine had just greeted from the corner, there were no doors or windows.

The light source comes from nowhere, and is slightly golden like the morning sun, bringing light and heat that make people feel very comfortable.

Coupled with the bread and milk that were delivered to him, the girl with a sweet smile was too easy for a person who had been locked up in a prison with a magic seal for a long time to let down his guard.

Grindelwald is good at playing with people's hearts. He knows that all of Catherine's current performances, from the environment to her expressions to the things she sends, are all carefully designed by her.

He reached for the bread, even though he knew it was designed, he was now detained here, hungry and weak, and the only thing he could do was to regain his strength first.

There is no magic seal here, and he can feel his dry magic power being revived.

And Catherine suddenly became very sincere and confessed: "I want you to admit it yourself, naturally because language itself is also magical."

Grindelwald's promise is equivalent to adding another layer of insurance to the already strong power of law.

He will never be able to break free in this life.

Grindelwald also reacted at this time, "Ancient magic?"

Catherine smiled gently: "It does fall into the category of ancient magic."

Grindelwald did not continue speaking, looked at Catherine for a moment, lowered his eyes and continued eating bread.

"Although the magic world now judges that ancient magic can no longer be used, this is not accurate. It has only become more difficult to use and the threshold is higher... Well, it is probably so high that most wizards will not be able to use it in this life. to the point."

Grindelwald is such a shrewd person. After hearing what Catherine said, he asked, "Can Al use it?"

It's an affirmative sentence.

Catherine shrugged coolly, "He must have been a great wizard in our time."

But Grindelwald only realized the rule of "words are magical" after being reminded by Catherine. Apparently he was imprisoned before he could master the ancient magic.

During the years he had been locked up, Dumbledore had been making progress and had mastered more advanced ancient magic.

Grindelwald felt mixed emotions in his heart.

He knew that Dumbledore loved magic, knew how talented he was, and was somewhat happy for him.

But he himself, Gellert, was not much worse than Albus... He was.

"You brought me here, do you just want to keep me locked up here?"

He no longer asked about Dumbledore's situation, only the Miss Slytherin in front of him.

The two of them were so familiar with each other. If Dumbledore really had a problem, could this Miss Slytherin be so calm as to set a trap for him?

He changed his mind so quickly, as if the guy who ignored his own body and subconsciously attacked and found someone when he woke up was not him.

Catherine looked at Grindelwald carefully and could only see that he was now haggard and thin. He did have grace and brains, but that was it. She couldn't see what charm this guy had. He could choke Albus for so many years. , I still can’t let it go.

...Yes, as Albus's friend, she certainly had no idea to side with Albus.

This Grindelwald is too deep-minded and too focused on himself. If there is no restraint by the power of law, Catherine bets that even Dumbledore is not sure what he is thinking and dare not fully trust him.

"As the most powerful dark wizard before Voldemort, I certainly believe in your abilities. It does seem wasteful to continue to lock him up."

If Catherine does not discover the guarding dementors, and needs to slowly promote the restraint of curses, break the curses, and find the controlled people one by one before operating them, then Catherine and the others really need to unite all the forces that can be united and cannot waste Grind Wo is a useful "resource".

But now that there are guarding dementors, the most troublesome task of screening those to be controlled can be solved directly. Is it still necessary to leave a time bomb-like Grindelwald in the team?

Grindelwald could hear the rejection in Catherine's tone. It was clear that when Dumbledore went to find him, and with the sporadic news heard at the International Federation of Wizards, the situation on their side should be very critical.

It was precisely because he saw this that he brought up the topic to see what they were going to do with him - when they would let him be "free".

He looked at Catherine's expression carefully, trying to get some clues from it, but this look made him stunned.

This is really not a mistake that a mature, well-known and decent wizard would make. Catherine raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "What?"

His daze was somewhat unusual.

Grindelwald was stunned for four or five seconds. Catherine was about to come over to see what was going on before he blinked again and recovered. His eyelashes trembled and he slowly lowered his eyelids, as if he was suddenly discouraged.

He said resignedly: "It's up to you. Anyway, I am sincere in cooperating with you. If you believe it, we will cooperate. If you don't believe it, just keep locking me here."

He suddenly gave up resistance and was too lazy to play any tricks.

But Catherine was convinced that just now, when she and Grindelwald looked at each other, Grindelwald's original blue eyes took on a strange silver-gray color for a moment.

Silver gray is not a common eye color in ancient magic.

It represents the flow of time and space.

And when the wizard is here and communicates with the flow of time and space, it means.

He has the power of prophecy.

What future did he see just now!
