[HP]Tom Potter

Chapter 60 The Summer of 1996

In the summer of 1996, two major events occurred in the wizarding world.

The first incident was clearly published in various newspapers and magazines, causing an uproar among wizards all over the world, and sparked widespread debate among wizards.

"Nurmengard successfully transformed the Dark Lord, and Grindelwald's confession was recognized"

——Such boastful tone of course comes from official German reports.

"The First Generation Dark Lord Regained Freedom", "Grindelwald Leaves Nurmengard", "Dumbledore Promises to Take Over Supervision"

—This is the headline of the German folk press.Different from the rhetoric of the official media, as the birthplace and biggest victim of the first generation of the Dark Lord, the wizarding world in Germany still has lingering fears about Grindelwald's deeds, and the text of the report generally carries a touch of worry.But fortunately, they still had confidence in the greatest white wizard of our time, so they didn't gather together to block the door of their own Ministry of Magic.

"Freedom after half a century" "Grindelwald, a man who really has the demeanor of a devil"

——Although he was also a victim of the old devil, the forgetful French showed a completely different attitude.French official and private reports are highly consistent, both expressing sympathy and admiration for the old devil who has been imprisoned in Nurmengard for 50 years, believing that he has the demeanor of a strong man and a loser at the same time.Interestingly, a French tabloid compiled a special issue of all the circulating photos of Grindelwald. Due to the super good looks of the old devil, this special issue was well received among witches and achieved extremely high sales. There are witches from other countries who come to owl mail order.

"Fresh Democratic Breath Gradually Enters the Magic World of the Old Continent" "Imprisoned for 50 Years!"The Human Rights Situation of Wizarding World in Germany

——This is an American wizard with an open mind who is eager to try, trying to share the "freedom" and "democracy" that he is proud of with his colleagues across the Pacific.However, their good wishes did not come true, and none of the Ministry of Magic in Britain, France and Germany paid any attention to the young brother.

"50 years later, it's still him! "

- In the Daily Prophet, Dumbledore's photo is much larger than Grindelwald's.Between the lines of the report, there is a sense of pride that "50 years ago, British wizards defeated the Dark Lord to save the world. 50 years later, it is still the British wizards who watch over the Dark Lord to protect world peace."Although the German wizards couldn't see the complacency of their British counterparts, they had to admit that even after 50 years in captivity, Grindelwald was still a real Dark Lord.If they didn't get Dumbledore's promise, they wouldn't dare to release this dangerous man from Nurmengard, even if they let him live in England—when did the little English Channel stop the Dark Lord.

"As long as I'm with him - stories buried in Godric's Hollow"

——This comes from Rita Skeeter, who always upholds the "truth" and is keen to die.Due to the long absence during the Triwizard Tournament, Rita Skeeter had no choice but to lose the establishment of the "Daily Prophet". The high remuneration and complete freedom make her feel like a fish in water, and the past that was contained in a glass bottle has now been completely forgotten by her.

Regardless of what the wizards outside thought and said, Tom now had to face the fact that Gellert was living with Albus.Yes, the little boy didn't pay much attention to the cobbled path that separated Dumbledore's house from Bathilda's house, so he was full of "they're living together" frustration.

The wicked adults finally couldn't help laughing when they saw Tom lying on the rattan chair with a bitter face. Sirius picked up little Tom, pinched his bulging cheeks like a little frog, "Or we'll leave you in Godric's Hollow, so you can take care of your Albus."

Tom's eyes lit up, and he began to think seriously.He couldn't worry about Albus, but he couldn't bear Harry and Lupin either.Especially Lupine, who lived at 12 Grimmauld Place throughout the fifth grade to help Sirius handle the affairs of the Black family, and Tom could only get along with Lupin briefly during the holidays. So did Harry, Tom hadn't shared Harry's bed in a long time.

Sirius followed Tom's eyes for a moment, and immediately understood the little plan in the boy's heart, so he asked dissatisfiedly, "Tom, are you only reluctant to part with Harry and Lupine?"

"Tom can't bear to part with Sirius either!" Tom cleverly hugged Sirius' neck, rubbing his bearded handsome face flatteringly. "Let's all stay at Albus's house. Let's take care of Albus together."

And just as Godric's Hollow was immersed in laughter, another incident began to ferment and circulate in a certain wizarding circle.

"Cissy, have you seen Lestrange?" Lucius Malfoy, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went forward when he saw his wife's figure appearing in the hallway.

Narcissa fell down on the sofa tiredly, with a look of horror and bewilderment on her face. "I saw her, she was crazy. When I saw her, there was nothing left in her cell, and she smashed it all to pieces. She shrank in the corner and kept shouting that bit, beg him not to abandon her."

Lucius' face was rather ugly. "she also……"

Narcissa shook her head, seeing her husband's suddenly stiff expression, added. "I don't know. Bella barely recognizes me and doesn't let me come near at all. But I went to see Rodolphus, and he knew what I was going for, rolled up his sleeves and let me take a look."

"His is gone..." Lucius couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or relieved.

The couple sat in silence for a long time, until Draco came running downstairs. "Mom, can I go to Godric's Hollow during my vacation, it is said that I can meet Grindelwald there!"

Hearing his son's voice, Lucius instantly straightened his shoulders and returned to the proud heir of the ancient wizard family. "Draco, don't yell."

"Dad~" Draco stuck out his tongue secretly, and stopped his steps. "I just want to meet the former Dark Lord. It is said that he is stronger than that Voldemort."

"Draco!" the Malfoys stopped in unison.

"Okay, okay, I know. You can't call him by his first name, you have to call him Mysterious Man." The young man pursed his lips and said unconvinced, "It's really troublesome, why are you pretending to be mysterious. They are all Dark Lords, so Grindewald won't In this way, at least no one else has been defeated by a baby, and no one is his opponent except Dumbledore." The spoiled little Malfoy was not frightened by the harshness of his parents.What's more, he really didn't have any awe for the Dark Lord who chose Potter as his opponent, he was too blind.

"Draco." Narcissa looked worriedly at her husband who fell silent again, glared at her son, and pulled him away.

When his wife and son were out of sight, Lucius Malfoy called the house elves. "Go prepare the banquet, I'm going to invite some guests tonight."

From this day on, small gatherings among the pure-blood wizarding community suddenly became popular.And at the end of the summer, ordinary wizards suddenly found that there were some big or small changes around them.

The decrees of the Ministry of Magic are becoming more and more smooth, and there are more and more policies that are beneficial to half-blood wizards.And news reports about Hogwarts and Headmaster Dumbledore became more and more positive, the school board added a lot of money, and Potter seemed to be the representative of young wizards.All in all, the wizarding world is suddenly thriving and positive.

In the end what happened?Many wizards are listening.

Severus Snape completely ignored the rumors and temptations from the outside world. This lonely potions professor continued to boil a large pot of potions that smelled charming in his dilapidated house.His sleeves were rolled up high, exposing pale and smooth arms.

The author has something to say:

The first-generation Dark Lord finally touched his beloved's side, while the second-generation Dark Lord...has pounced.
