HP: Embrace the Darkness

While the boy was speaking, Dumbledore nodded and looked at him imperceptibly.

According to the information Gellert had found, Athis Cavendish was two years older than Harry and should have been in the third grade at Durmster this year, but the difference between the child in front of him and the immature third grade students was very large.

The infallible black suit is paired with a light grey lining, the buttons are buttoned meticulously to the top, and a brooch with the Cavendish family crest is worn on the collar. A closer look at the edge of the brooch reveals a faint golden glow, silently suggesting that this is not an ordinary ornament, but an alchemical prop that can reverse the situation at the moment of light.

The same thing goes for the cane that is gently held between slender fingers, and the rings on the knuckles.

In addition, Dumbledore discovered something that shocked him - perhaps because he studied at Durmstrang in this world, the school spirit was different, and he had no contact with Severus, the Cavendish in front of him was more difficult to approach than Ases on the screen, and his edge was even stronger, and the look he gave them was filled with the shrewd scrutiny of a politician.

Dumbledore had no doubt that in the brief meeting just now, this boy of about fourteen had basically seen through the characters of Filius and others.

The boy was very rational from beginning to end, with the indifference of an outsider. He calmly accepted the scrutiny and talked to Flitwick and the other two in a distant but friendly manner. He even interrupted Dumbledore when he showed fear in his eyes.

"Principal Dumbledore, won't you invite me in?"

"Of course, let's go in and talk."

Dumbledore realized that he had lost his composure, so he naturally changed the subject and led Cavendish into the headmaster's office. He kept an eye on the other person's expression, hoping that Severus could have some influence on him.

The results are not optimistic.

Just like his first impression of Cavendish, there was nothing flawless about this young man.

Even when facing his partner from another world and Grindelwald who shouldn't have appeared, his gaze never faltered. He stood in front of the sofa with confidence and greeted everyone naturally: "Perhaps you have all seen another me. Just call me Aces. It's nice to meet you all at Hogwarts."

"Aces, do you like drinking?" Flitwick remembered the vague information revealed when the screen was playing Grindelwald's deeds, and greeted him enthusiastically with a glass of wine. "What kind of wine do you like to drink? Try this? I brought it back from the Muggle world."

The boy lowered his head slightly and looked at the goblin professor, with a gentle arc on his lips, "I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Professor Flitwick. I'm not yet seventeen years old, and my family forbids me to drink alcoholic beverages."

Flitwick slapped his forehead and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm so used to seeing you in there that I forgot for a moment that you're not even seventeen yet."

"It's okay. I often get confused too." The young man straightened up and sat next to Grindelwald. He glanced at Severus and Dumbledore who were tense for a moment and nodded politely to Grindelwald. "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Grindelwald."

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes and looked at Cavendish, who was sitting next to him without fear of death.

Unlike Dumbledore who looks at the whole person, Grindelwald usually looks at the eyes first. Eyes are called the windows to the soul and can reveal so many things. They can also read minds and are the best breakthrough point.
