HP in the name of Slytherin

When several people went to the secret room where Grindelwald had released his control, Severus and Tom had just finished drawing the magic circle and came out of it.

Usually the two of them always compete with each other, as if they are incompatible with each other, but when they need to cooperate, they are surprisingly efficient. This is the awkward friendship between the two.

Catherine pretended not to notice the instant distance between the two of them, and praised with a smile: "It was completed so quickly, you two are so awesome!"

Severus only pursed his lips and smiled inwardly, while Tom hummed proudly: "It's a small thing, just to practice my skills."

Moody, who was called "Assist" next to him but actually just watched the two little wizards working and couldn't help even if he wanted to, breathed a sigh of relief. God knows he had been worried the whole time that the two little wizards would just give up after they started arguing. Don't do it.

However, these two people turned a deaf ear to his threats, not afraid of him at all, and did not bother to explain to him that Moody was really tired and would rather catch twenty more Death Eaters than do this kind of thing again.

Seeing Dumbledore and the others approaching, Moody quickly stepped back.

"Do you need to go in?" Albus asked Catherine.

Catherine nodded: "The magic circle may interfere with the spirit body, and coupled with the protective spell of the Room of Requirement itself, Ariana's soul has not changed."

Before, when Aberforth and Grindelwald were close to each other, Ariana's soul could automatically gather together and show a normal appearance that was very similar to an ordinary soul. There was no reason why Ariana's soul was still dark now that they were separated by a wall.

It can only be the two reasons that Catherine just analyzed.

In this case, Albus walked back and forth a few more times to summon the hidden Room of Requirement again.

According to Catherine's description outside, the door was a closed solid rock, with the sealing runes that Catherine taught Albus painted on it. When they opened it, everyone felt an inconspicuous gust of wind blowing by.

After that, several people who had a contract with Haierbo saw a blond-brown girl who was close to twenty years old appearing between them and Grindelwald.

Severus and the others didn't know why they suddenly stopped moving, but Catherine and Albus didn't walk in, so the people on both sides remained still.

"That's true." Albus sighed.

Aberforth was still a little confused and wanted to call Ariana over: "Come on, Ariana, there are many magic circles in there, which may affect you."

Ariana shook her head sadly: "I can't move, Aber."

Albus immediately frowned and asked Catherine: "Is it because most souls are there?"

In his expectation, Ariana would not be able to stay away from Grindelwald at most, because most of the souls were divided there.

But there should be more souls around him and Aberforth, so why together they still can't make Ariana look like a normal soul.

"Let's go in and talk. The magic circle will not affect Ariana." Catherine greeted everyone.

To prevent a group of people from staying here and being seen by others, it will cause trouble.

The Room of Requirement, which was already dark, turned on several lights as Albus thought.

The layout inside is roughly that of Nurmengard, except that the stone walls and floors are covered with black runes. Now these black liquids seem to be breathing and flashing in a strange rhythm, showing flowing colors. , very strange.

In the middle of the magic circle was Grindelwald lying directly on the ground. He was wearing a shirt and pants that were already very tight, as if he hadn't changed them for a long time. His hair was also dirty, and he was as thin as a Been hungry for a long time.

How dare Nurmengard abuse him? When Albus went to Germany on a business trip a few months ago, he saw the latest information on Grindelwald from the Magic Association. At that time, he was very dignified and energetic, sneering at the camera and snapping photos. In the photos, he is full of energy and magnanimity, and does not look like a criminal at all.

Now, he looks more like a person who has been imprisoned for more than ten years.

Catherine walked over to the unconscious Grindelwald, put her hand on his thin wrist, and frowned slowly after a moment.

Brother Albus also became worried, fearing that there was something wrong with Ariana.

Tom and Severus looked at each other and made sure that the other person's eyes were a little confused, so it would be fine, and the other person couldn't see anything about "Ariana", hehehe.

Catherine stood up and saw the eyes of the two little wizards. Tom, a little fool, didn't notice that Severus was at a loss. In fact, there was a hint of surprise in it - he knew about Catherine and Grindelwald. As agreed, of course he also knew who Ariana was, and he could guess quite a bit based on the few lines of conversation he had now.

Who knows nothing like you?

There is no way to explain this to Tom later, because it also involves Albus's privacy. If Tom finds out, he will definitely laugh at the old professor, and may even dance in front of others to ridicule. This is too much.

She cleared her throat: "The situation is indeed a bit complicated, but to a certain extent, it may be good news."

After observing everyone's expressions, Moody said to Albus, who was thinking: "If there is nothing here, can I go back and deal with my affairs first?"

He sensitively realized that this matter had nothing to do with him for the time being, and left with a sense of boundaries.

Tom and Severus didn't leave. The former just wanted to watch the fun. He knew that Catherine kept it secret from him. He could see for himself that if he didn't make nonsense, Catherine wouldn't take the initiative to drive him away. The latter is a student appointed by Grindelwald in another world. He has indeed received guidance from others, so he really cares about the teacher's affairs.

After Moody left, Albus took out chairs in the Room of Requirement and asked several people to sit down.

Ariana couldn't move, so everyone sat next to her. At first glance, it looked like everyone was sitting around Grindelwald.

Everyone was waiting for Catherine to elaborate, but instead Catherine faced Grindelwald lying on the ground and said calmly: "Mr. Grindelwald should be conscious now, but you are restrained by the magic circle and cannot move. This matter concerns you, so listen to it.”

It should be a questioning tone, but Catherine's words now sound like a bit sarcastic and indifferent.

Severus glanced at her quietly. He was very familiar with Catherine in this state. She used to treat Grindelwald in their world the same way.

She wants to suppress the Grindelwald of this world again.

"You were controlled by a wizard named Voldemort. You may still have this memory. I don't know how long he controlled you and how many things he made you do. I think you know best about your own body. How weak are you," Catherine said slowly. "Based on my inspection just now, if you continue to be controlled, you can probably hold on for two days. That's why Voldemort couldn't bear it anymore and sent you here to capture Quirrell. reason."

Severus and Tom now understood why Grindelwald's attack came so suddenly. As long as Grindelwald's body can still hold on, Voldemort will be more thoughtful and observant before taking action, instead of launching a sudden attack like this.

"But with such high-intensity control, and your frequent use of magic that consumes a lot of money, theoretically speaking, your body should have collapsed long ago. Mr. Grindelwald, do you have any clues about this issue?"

"I'm telling you now, think about it for yourself. Is it true that at some point, when you feel that your magic power has been exhausted, your magic power appears again, and the recovery speed seems to be faster, which allows you to get through difficulties again and again?"

"Where does this sudden magic power come from?"

Ariana seemed to wake up suddenly and opened her eyes suddenly.
