The Good Life of Home Cook Grindelwald
Chapter 26
1945
Standing on the long bridge of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore waited for the members of the International Union of Magical Supervisors on behalf of Headmaster Dippet. Despite the Wizengamot, inexplicable deaths in the school made it impossible to understand. Neglect, especially for a first-year mixed-race girl from Muggles and wizards, this identity is more sensitive.
Wizards from different regions gathered on the long bridge. Hogwarts students couldn't help but look out of the classroom, not only because the supervisor would come here, but also because among the people who came this time, There was Grindelwald.
Dumbledore shook hands with all the wizards, and when they arrived at Grindelwald, the other party also shook hands with him politely, but asked when they passed by: "Are you okay?"
Leading the visitors to the school, Dumbledore also replied softly: "It can't be better." After a pause, he didn't move his lips, but said a word, "The Chamber of Secrets."
Dumbledore couldn't figure it out either. He could only speculate that the lover he had known for nearly half a century had unconscious dreams. After all, the reason why this leader of black magic wanted to use the time-turner to change the past when he was a teenager was because He had prophetic nightmares.Although there are not many such dreams in his mouth, they have appeared several times.
Of course he didn't know that Grindelwald always pushed what he knew in the previous life into the dream, but Grindelwald didn't expect that this time, even if it was an excuse from the dream, it didn't stop the secret room, but the dead people were different.
Grindelwald did not know who the person who died was, and the name of the deceased was not even mentioned in the newspaper. After the secret room incident was resolved, the victim was only lightly replaced by "a girl" by the newspaper.He can only speculate that if Voldemort was born in 1926 and the Chamber of Secrets incident happened in 1943, then the girl who died at that time must not be the first-year girl who was victimized in 1945 in this life.
However, this time, he was well prepared.
Grindelwald strode into Hogwarts. This is not the first time he has come to this school. In the past 40 years, he was in an emergency to meet his partner. Been here many times.But it was the first time to enter from the main entrance.
Ignoring the curious expressions of the students, he and the investigation team first entered the medical wing to check on the girl who died suddenly.
Looking at the corpse, a group of wizards could see no trace of casting spells at all. In the end, all the wizards came to the same conclusion as the wizards in the medical wing: it might be an unforgivable spell or an attack by a magical animal.
The professor of Fantastic Beasts was called in at once, his office searched by the Aurors and the Overseer Society, and all students and teachers at the school were examined with wands for signs of the use of Unforgivable spells.
Grindelwald did not attend.Grindelwald did not participate, he left the main force, alone, standing at the place where the girl died, just standing at the place where the girl died, and continued to filter the original newspaper over and over again in his mind with a blank expression, trying to find the place where the girl died. In a very short introduction, search for more valid information.
Whether it was the last time or this time, the death point was all women, and it was all in this women's bathroom. The animal that attacked was very clear, it was a basilisk.He crossed his arms and propped his chin and thought: It is very clear that the basilisk was released from this women's bathroom. The question is: how was it released?
The feeling of being watched interrupted his thoughts, and he turned his head to see a handsome young man.He maintained a cold expression, staring at the student who was wearing the same college uniform as his adopted son.
There was no kindness in his eyes, and there was even a bit of disgust, but the other party seemed a little excited to see him, seeing that he did not expel himself, this person took a step forward, and said softly: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Grindelwald?" Seeing him nodding, the student took a deep breath and whispered, "Excuse me, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tom Riddle, and I am a Hogwarts prefect. I admire you very much , so glad to see you here!"
Even Grindelwald was stunned when he heard his self-introduction.He remembered that the last time he saw Tom Riddle in his memory, he was a person with flat facial features that almost disappeared, and he had no connection with this handsome boy now.
Of course, he inferred that he made Horcruxes through newspapers and Riddle's various behaviors in the last life, but even as a user of black magic, he never thought that too many Horcruxes could make people so nondescript .
Because of his usual indifferent expression, Riddle obviously didn't notice that he was in a daze, and simply thought it was a signal to encourage him to continue: "I admire your courage very much, and I also respect your accomplishments in black magic. If possible, Of course, I hope to have this opportunity to work for you in the New Future Alliance."
God of death, what kind of soul do you reincarnate into the world every day?
As a person who is good at getting information from other people, Grindelwald can certainly see that the humility in this young man's mouth is just a cliché.Does this young man really think that Grindelwald is the kind of person who would get dizzy because of a little fame and compliments?
Facing Tom Riddle of this era, Grindelwald felt a little speechless for the first time. He didn't remember that this kid had a tendency to join Nurmengard in his previous life, so where did the time-space line in this life deviate? , let him feel that the New Future Alliance is worth seeking refuge in?
No, it's not that the new future is worthy of refuge. Grindelwald looked at him with a straight face, but he immediately understood the reason for the other party in his mind.He wanted to join the new future only because, since the establishment of "Charter One", the New Future Alliance was very unstable, and those pure-blood wizards who had worked with Grindelwald were very dissatisfied with his agreement and signing "Charter One" ", thinking that this is the decline of pure blood.
And this is an excellent opportunity for Voldemort, who expects to rule the wizarding world and kill all Muggles, half-bloods, and mudbloods.
Agree, or disagree?Do you want to keep this person by your side, so that you can seek skin from a tiger at the same time as surveillance?
Grindelwald turned around and looked at him again, finally showing a contemptuous smile from the corners of his eyes. Did this kid really think that the old Grindelwald would be Cronus, and he himself would be the main god in the future?Thinking of this, before he had time to speak, the sound of footsteps from behind had interrupted them, or Riddle's "conversation" alone.
You don't need to look back to know who is coming, the familiar and gentle voice sounded behind him: "Tom? What are you doing here if you don't go to class?"
Tom changed his expression just now and became anxious and pitiful: "Professor, I heard that if the murderer is not found, the school will be closed, is it? Then what should we do?"
Dumbledore said calmly: "Yes, that's what the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic said, but the Supervisory Association will discuss it again. If you have time to care about these, why don't you go back to class, okay?"
Riddle gave Grindelwald a deep look, as if expressing his loyalty and admiration, Grindelwald still didn't speak, he turned and left.
But just when he took a few steps, Grindelwald suddenly said: "Mr. Riddle, if you really want to join the New Future Alliance, just write a cover letter. After all, I am not the person in charge there now."
Riddle, who turned around quickly because of his words, showed a bit of viciousness when he looked at him, but he let it go and stopped it quickly, and his respectful expression immediately surfaced: "Thank you for your guidance."
Grindelwald didn't speak anymore, until he turned away and couldn't feel his breath, Grindelwald turned to look at his partner: "Students in your school, what is in their minds?"
"Gellert." As if he couldn't see him saying bad things about his school and students, Dumbledore warned him softly, but in front of him, the professor's voice was always so gentle, even if it was admonition, it was not the same. Xiang is loud and powerful when facing students.
After admonishing, Dumbledore asked: "What are you doing standing at the door of the women's bathroom? Don't tell me that you have been a man for 60 years and suddenly feel like changing gender."
Glancing at him dissatisfied, and expressing his disappreciation of his humor, Grindelwald said, "What do you think, there is a secret room in the school?" When they discussed last time, it was obvious that Dumbledore Not very interested in this conclusion.
"It's not what I said, but this semester, some students felt that something was moving in the school. So the story of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has spread among the students again." Dumbledore stood shoulder to shoulder with him He stood at the bathroom door and replied.
Grindelwald looked at the sealed bathroom, and said softly and suspiciously: "If it was attacked by a magical animal, shouldn't this animal be in this bathroom?"
"But so far, we haven't found any clues here. Theseus has been in there several times." Dumbledore.
"What if there is indeed a secret room inside?" Grindelwald asked calmly.
"You mean, the entrance to this chamber of secrets is here? And someone opened the chamber of secrets, and that unfortunate little girl happened to be here?" Dumbledore didn't move, staring at the closed bathroom and whispered, "Can you hide in the bathroom?" In the room, there are magical animals, and they are still heard in various places in the school, Slytherin traits," he paused, and finally turned his head.Grindelwald also turned his head to look at him at this time, and the two looked at each other calmly. Dumbledore continued, "A snake hidden in a pipe?"
After saying this, they didn't speak any more, they just affirmed each other's guess from their eyes.Until a teacher ran over and said, "Professor Dumbledore, we may have caught the real culprit."
Dumbledore was not in a hurry, but said steadily, "Who is it?"
"Rupert Hagrid!" The teacher was also very surprised, "A student told us that Mr. Hagrid kept a large spider monster."
Dumbledore lowered his face and said without hesitation: "Rupert? Impossible!"
Grindelwald interjected lazily at this time: "Since you think the female student died of magical animals, why don't you find an expert?"
Dumbledore turned to look at him, with a flash of a smile in his eyes: "Mr. Grindelwald can always put forward some good suggestions just right."
"Thank you, professor, I'm just exercising my rights as a member of the United Association." Grindelwald's calm voice was really smug.
Dumbledore turned his head and said, "Please inform Mr. Newt Scamander, and please invite a knowledgeable wizard from St. Mungo's Hospital."
The teacher glanced at Grindelwald in surprise, agreed hastily, and went to write a letter to New.After he left, Grindelwald said softly: "As far as I know, Mr. Scamander has been in Africa recently."
"That's really troublesome. If the evidence cannot be found immediately, the Ministry of Magic will definitely detain Hagrid first, and then release him after the investigation. I don't know if Hagrid can survive the darkness of Azkaban." Dumbledore said Then, he walked quickly to the principal's office. People from both the Supervisory Association and the Ministry of Magic are there now, "I hope that if Newt is not here, Tina can come here for him."
As soon as they entered, they heard that several people and horses were already arguing, and Rupert Hagrid was loudly blowing his nose and sobbing in defense.As soon as Grindelwald entered the door, he sneered because of the noise, which made the whole room suddenly quiet. This man who had dared to publicly contend with the Ministry of Magic for 40 years, once he appeared, would still make people silent for a while.
Only Dumbledore looked around everyone with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
The Law Enforcement Director of the Ministry of Magic blushed and said: "Since the magical beast has been found, we will take this student away, and his wand should also be broken!"
The Supervisory Association is used to confronting the Ministry of Magic: "Sir, we just found a spider monster. We can't prove that this girl was killed by this spider monster, nor can it prove that Mr. Hagrid did it on purpose."
"Aragok couldn't kill! I taught him!" Hagrid cried sadly.
Dumbledore raised his hand, motioning for everyone to calm down first: "Regarding this matter, I have already invited Mr. Newt Scamander, after all, he is a professional, and for the sake of justice, I will also invite someone to invite Mungo's experts."
The Ministry of Magic has gone mad with anger: "Dumbledore, if any of your students have any accidents during this period, your school will be closed!"
Grindelwald raised the corners of his lips: "I really don't understand, who dares to kill another student in front of so many Ministry of Magic and international wizards? If so, his purpose is not to kill deliberately, but to kill a student on purpose. Challenge the nerves of everyone in the magic world."
His voice, which had always been slow, disdainful and never raised since middle age, always made people feel a little chilly, and the scene became quiet again, only Hagrid's intermittent sobs remained.
The people from the Ministry of Magic wanted to use all kinds of spells against Grindelwald, at least to go to the duel, but Grindelwald didn't even look at them, and he was out of tune with the people from the Supervisory Association. After that, he stood in front of the window of the principal's office, waiting for news.
Soon, St. Mungo's people arrived first, and because Newt was far away in Africa, Tina, the Minister of Law Enforcement of the Magical Congress of America, who was at home on vacation, took care of Newt.As soon as this woman who was familiar with all kinds of magical animals and experienced in handling cases like her husband entered Hogwarts, her serious expression made people involuntarily back down.
After watching the dead girl, St. Mungo's expert said at the same time as Tina: "It's not a spider monster."
Tina said first: "There are no bite marks or signs of struggle. If it is a spider monster, people will not die instantly, but will be attacked. During the struggle, the limbs will be torn apart by the spider monster, and the body will also be damaged." Presenting a variety of bites."
St. Mungo's healing wizard nodded in agreement: "It is indeed the case. The closest thing to this kind of instant death is the unforgivable spell. If it is a magical animal, unless it is a legendary basilisk."
Grindelwald turned his head and asked, "Basilisk?"
The healing wizard nodded: "Yes, no matter who, even you, with all due respect, as long as they look into the eyes of the basilisk, their soul will be sucked away by him immediately. But according to this lady's husband, there are already 400 people in the UK. I haven't seen a basilisk in years."
Grindelwald said: "But as far as I know, after Hogwarts was founded, before one of the founders, Slytherin, left angrily, he built a secret room and left behind a protector."
The healing wizard covered his mouth and took a deep breath: "Although your suspicion is bold, we can't confirm it."
Grindelwald said: "Fortunately, I really know a descendant of Slytherin. I think, if you don't mind, I can ask someone to come over and confirm it."
Dumbledore looked at him in surprise: "Why...?" He bit his lower lip, preventing himself from almost saying something too intimate.
Grindelwald took the time to make suggestions at this time, indicating that he was already prepared.Even before he heard the news and came to Hogwarts, he had already set his target on the Chamber of Secrets.Is this another strange nightmare?
Grindelwald seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said first: "Dear Mr. Professor, I am dedicated to collecting all kinds of information in Europe, and Slytherin is one of the fans of black magic. Of course, I will also collect information. His information. As far as I know, he should have another descendant living in America."
It's no wonder that he suddenly asked about the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets last time, because he had been studying this part.Dumbledore scowled.Studying his school, he didn't share this part of knowledge with him. If he had known these things earlier, maybe he wouldn't be so passive this time.What's more, if you really started this matter because you had a nightmare, but you didn't tell yourself, wouldn't you be afraid that you would worry about it afterwards?
Grindelwald turned his head to him with his hands behind his back, but Dumbledore didn't agree with this and turned his face away seriously.On the other side, Tina couldn't help looking at the sky, thinking that she must share today's events with her husband when she goes back.
Grindelwald notified the members of the New Future UK branch with Floo powder, and soon someone entered Hogwarts with a sack and handed it to Grindelwald respectfully.
Members of the Ministry of Magic said angrily again: "Grindelwald, this is an illegal kidnapping!"
"It's just that when Mr. Gunter was invited to come, he was not very polite. I'm sorry. But if he is willing to cooperate with the investigation, my people will not use such a rude method. In the case of dead people, the priorities are the best. Sir, you should have your own judgment, right?" Grindelwald said apologetically.
Dumbledore said: "Mr. Grindelwald, even so, I'm afraid you will have to pay a fine to the Superintendent!"
Just pay it, it's just a fine, you don't know Nurmengard's Gringotts account, so get it yourself.Grindelwald waved his hand and gestured to his partner with his eyes, and Dumbledore's face was rarely more gloomy.
Grindelwald had no choice but to wait to go home and listen to Dumbledore's lecture.He didn't open the sack immediately, but carried the sack to the women's washroom where the incident happened without any effort, and the people from the Supervisory Association and the Ministry of Magic hurriedly followed.
When he reached the door, Grindelwald tapped his wand, and a man with messy hair rolled out of the loose sack, growling with a gloomy expression. He instinctively spoke Parseltongue first, and then English: "You These bastards, what do you want to do?"
Headmaster Dippet looked at him in surprise: "Morfin Gaunt? Is he a descendant of Slytherin?"
Grindelwald didn't pay attention to the man anymore, but stared closely at his finger. He was wearing a large ring with a black stone on it.Grindelwald's face instantly became more gloomy than this Mr. Gunter.
Dumbledore looked at him inexplicably, and followed his eyes.He frowned, and suddenly his eyes widened in surprise.They both raised their heads at the same time and exchanged a look: Resurrection Stone!
Gunter looked at Principal Dippet at this time: "Sir, I have graduated for many years, and I don't need your care and teaching!"
A wizard from the Supervision Council of Magic stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gunter, we just ask you to help investigate a matter. A girl was murdered in school..."
Gunter roared: "What's none of my business? I didn't kill it! I've been at home all this time! My neighbors can prove it!"
Grindelwald finally turned his eyes back from the resurrection stone. The main reason he was able to turn his attention away from the resurrection stone was that Gaunt's voice was too loud!He frowned and interrupted them, not to mention the people from the Supervisory Association all looked at him. After all, they didn't understand why Grindelwald brought Gunter here.
"Mr. Gunter, we all know that you didn't kill anyone. We just want you to use Parseltongue to find the secret room in this room." Grindelwald said coldly.
Mofen didn't understand, so he said, "What Parseltongue, what secret room?"
"You just have to say open it here in Parseltongue! I think, if there is a secret room, it should be opened." Grindelwald said impatiently.
"Fuck you! Who are you! What right do you have to say that to me!" Morfin raised his wand to him, "Tell me one more word, and I won't be polite!"
Now even the Ministry of Magic is nervous. Although they all said they wanted to capture Grindelwald, in the past few decades, all members of the Ministry of Magic who have fought Grindelwald have stayed in the hospital for more than a month.Is this Mr. Gaunt desperate?
Grindelwald didn't even pull out his wand, just pulled out a cold smile: "If you don't want to, I don't mind using the Imperius Curse on you, making you look like a puppet, facing what I think is the secret room , say it all over with your strange accent!"
"Gellert Grindelwald!" Dumbledore stood aside and warned. He was about to say something, but his eyes glanced at the students observing the situation behind the colonnade, and he couldn't help frowning, "Tom?"
The name made Morfin look over reflexively, and when he looked at the young man behind the pillar, he said furiously, "Tom Riddle, where have you made my sister!"
Riddle took a step back in surprise, reflexively said: "I don't know you! I don't know your sister either!"
Mofen rushed over regardless: "You don't know me, I know you! You abducted my sister for almost 20 years! Even my father is mad at you! Get out of here!"
Principal Dippet hurriedly said: "Morfin, you are dizzy! This kid is only 16 years old, how could he abduct your sister? Don't be impulsive."
Morfin didn't listen to him: "This face is exactly the same, how could it be different! Come here!" He said, pulling out his wand and about to cast a binding spell on Riddle.
Riddle lowered his face and pulled out his wand without hesitation. While blocking the binding spell, he was about to give Morfin an attacking spell with his backhand.His spell was fast and strong, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Morfin was no match for him.But sooner, Dumbledore had blocked his attack, and by the way gave him a total petrification.Riddle dodged quickly, he didn't even stop, and regardless of Dumbledore being his professor, one after another magic shot out from his wand, aiming at Morfin and Dumbledore who blocked him.
While blocking these attacks was no problem for Dumbledore, it still irritated Grindelwald.He raised his wand, and the black flames separated Dumbledore and Riddle like a monster with the head of a dragon, blocking every attack of black magic.This flame monster was like life, chasing after Riddle.
Morfin came to his senses at this moment, and said in surprise, "Who is he? The person who abducted my sister is a Muggle, it is impossible to use such a spell."
Riddle couldn't beat their joint attack for a while, so he was smart enough to absorb the magic in time, and said to Principal Dippet: "Principal, this is ridiculous! I'm just here to fulfill my responsibilities as a prefect! This Sir, and Professor Dumbledore, why are you targeting me?"
Headmaster Dippet cast a reproachful look at Dumbledore. Riddle is the smartest student here, and the future minister of the Ministry of Magic is promising. They are too messed up like this.Especially Gunter, he had a bad temper when he was in school, and he was crazy, so he couldn't believe it.
Grindelwald suddenly said, "I want to know, are you the one who revealed to the school that Hagrid kept the spider monster?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Riddle simply admitted: "Indeed, as a prefect, how can I let my classmates keep such a dangerous animal, not to mention that it also attacked other classmates."
"How are you sure that the animals raised by Mr. Hagrid attacked other students? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Grindelwald stopped him and asked slowly.
Riddle was so angry that he almost trembled, he turned to Dippet and said, "Principal!"
"Don't call your headmaster, you are answering the question from the International Council of Magic Supervision!" Grindelwald cut off the possibility of Dippet's confession, "Mr. Riddle, if you can't answer truthfully and provide sufficient Evidence, I can file a complaint with the Supervision Committee, thinking that you attacked your classmates and deliberately made this possibility dirty for others."
Riddle clenched his fists, suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Grindelwald, I admire you so much..."
"Whether you admire me or not has anything to do with whether you did such a thing?" Grindelwald interrupted him again, and he even smiled when he spoke, which almost angered Riddle.
Dippet was also angry: "Mr. Grindelwald, Tom is No.1 in our school. He is the smartest student. He is not the same as Hagrid."
"What's so great about No.1? I was always No.1 when I was in Durmstrang." Grindelwald said coldly, this sentence almost choked Dippet and the members of the Ministry of Magic who wanted to speak.But what he said was the truth, this unruly Dark Lord was indeed No.1 during his school days.
Looking at Tom, Grindelwald continued: "I think he is different from Mr. Hagrid, but it is not a question of whether he is smart or not, but a question of whether he is kind or not. Moreover, what I am curious about is that Mr. Hagrid raised Don't the people in Gryffindor know about spiders? Isn't it strange that a Slytherin came to inform? More importantly," Grindelwald suddenly stretched out his hand, "I want to check Take Mr. Riddle's wand, because when he attacked Mr. Gaunt and Professor Dumbledore, if I read correctly, he used some black magic. I didn't know that Hogwarts students can learn black magic magic."
Grindelwald stretched out his hand calmly, looked at Riddle indifferently, but the other party only looked at Dippet, but Dippet looked at Dumbledore in embarrassment, but Dumbledore lowered his head slightly. dont see.
Morfin Gunter looked at them inexplicably: "What the hell do you mean?"
Grindelwald explained to him with rare kindness: "If he really looks like the man who abducted your sister, then this young gentleman may be your nephew. If he is, then he is the one in this school. , the only person who can speak Parseltongue. But as for whether he is," Grindelwald said slowly, still staring at Riddle, "we just need to ask the family who adopted him, what is the name of his biological mother, and Extract the memories about his biological mother from their brains, and you will know."
At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly whispered a word to Morfin's ear, and Morfin looked at him in surprise, but out of trust in this face, which seemed kind, especially for someone with a reputation in the magic world, He turned his head to look at the very nervous Riddle, opened his mouth to say something, and Riddle instinctively replied.But after he replied, he saw the surprised eyes of everyone in front of him, and realized that he had been fooled by Dumbledore.
Morfin had spoken to him in Parseltongue just now!
Grindelwald raised one corner of his lips and said softly: "Now, Mr. Riddle, can you show us your wand?"
Riddle insisted: "Even if I can speak Parseltongue, it doesn't mean that I can open the secret room you just mentioned in this bathroom and release the basilisk!"
The Ministry of Magic wanted to agree with what he said, but Dumbledore sighed softly. The members of the Ministry of Magic looked at him inexplicably. There is no reason to sigh, but they saw Dumbledore raised his head and said calmly: "Tom, we It said there was a secret room, but it didn't say that the secret room was in this bathroom, let alone that there was a basilisk in it."
Riddle's slightly pale face became even paler, but Grindelwald said at this time: "To confirm, is the secret room in the bathroom, and whether there is a basilisk in it, Mr. Gunter, please cooperate." Bar."
Gunter still didn't understand the situation, and retorted instinctively: "Why should I listen to you."
Because of his stupidity, Grindelwald laughed mockingly: "Mr. Gunter, since both of you can speak Parseltongue and were in the UK during the incident, if both of you have been unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, can we conduct a reasonable investigation?" Presumably, you planned to jointly attack Hogwarts Castle?"
"Mr. Grindelwald..." Tina raised her voice and called him, but seeing the anger hidden under his cold eyes, she almost lost her voice, but still forced herself to finish the sentence, "This is really not a reasonable guess !"
Looking at her, Grindelwald snorted: "Mrs. Scamander, you always speak out when others don't like it."
Tina almost rolled her eyes at him, if her sister was not working in the New Future Alliance, she really wanted to point her wand at this guy and curse at him!She endured it, and said coldly: "I'm just telling the truth, whether you like it or not, that's your business!"
At this moment, Dumbledore finally interjected softly: "Mr. Gaunt, please try to open the secret room. It can prove your innocence, and we can also prove the innocence of others."
Seeing Gaunt going to the bathroom, Riddle couldn't help but instinctively raised his wand, but Grindelwald was one step ahead of him and prepared him with his wand. Seeing the suspicious expressions of the others, Riddle suddenly yelled at them angrily. With a sound, the window was broken in an instant, turned into a thick smoke, and disappeared.
Grindelwald sent out a black flame when he broke the window, but he was still a step behind.He didn't catch up, but put away the flames and stared at the direction where Riddle disappeared, his chest heaved rapidly, obviously very angry.Since Riddle dared to use black magic against Dumbledore just now, his anger has risen. Now that Riddle has actually let Riddle run away, he has no way to suppress it.
At this moment, Morfin seemed to finally realize that the one he had just quarreled with was actually the Dark Lord Grindelwald, which made him almost startled and opened his mouth, but the blood of the descendants of Slytherin allowed him to maintain his dignity.With a light cough, he put on airs and said: "Do you still need to open the secret room?"
Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald, who was obviously not calmed down, and took over the overall situation: "Let's try it, we need to prove it."
Morfin cleared his throat again, walked into the bathroom, and yelled into it in Parseltongue, "Open!"
Although he didn't know where the specific entrance to the secret room was, his voice was loud enough to attract the secret room's attention. A faucet suddenly began to change shape, and then slowly became louder.Dumbledore frowned suddenly, pulled Morfin away, and loudly reminded all the wizards around him: "If the basilisk really comes out, don't look into his eyes."
The chamber of secrets was opened, and no creatures appeared immediately, which made everyone relieved for a while, but the unique reptile-like scale friction sound came quickly, which sounded like a big guy, and all the wizards raised their hands in unison. The representative of the Ministry of Magic said in a trembling voice: "Why do we have to wait for the basilisk to come out and prove that there is a secret room? Why can't we close the door first?"
Morfin also realized what was going on, and with rare tact he yelled, "Shut down!"
The door of the Chamber of Secrets swung shut again, and the sound of the giant slamming against the door was the last sound they heard before the Chamber of Secrets closed, but they did not see this legendary Slytherin-raised monster.But all the wizards were still relieved, after all, none of them knew how to kill a basilisk.
Grindelwald finally turned around from the window, looked at Morfin, and smiled falsely: "Now, it can be proved that this matter has nothing to do with you."
All the wizards were brought back to their souls by his words, almost dumbfounded, the person who can open the secret room is the most likely person, how could it have nothing to do with him?But thinking about the possible relationship between the boy who escaped just now and Morfin in front of him, the person who is most likely to open the secret room during school is self-evident.
But Dumbledore said calmly and happily: "Then, it can be proved that Mr. Hagrid is not the mastermind of this incident, and now the mastermind is fleeing. We can only hope that the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division can arrest him and bring him to justice." .”
Grindelwald didn't speak, he just looked in the direction of Riddle's escape, and his face sank.
After the members of the Supervisory Association and the Ministry of Magic left, Grindelwald went to the Pig's Head Bar. Aberforth hadn't seen him for a long time. When he saw him at this moment, he looked very pale and said sneeringly, "What's wrong? Arguing with my brother again Are you already old? Don’t you know how to restrain yourself?”
Grindelwald sat in front of his bar and looked at him cautiously. This look surprised Aberforth and became serious, so he said, "Aberforth, I know you will never Don't like me very much."
Oh, Merlin, you're really bringing up old things again!Aberforth mocks
Standing on the long bridge of Hogwarts Castle, Dumbledore waited for the members of the International Union of Magical Supervisors on behalf of Headmaster Dippet. Despite the Wizengamot, inexplicable deaths in the school made it impossible to understand. Neglect, especially for a first-year mixed-race girl from Muggles and wizards, this identity is more sensitive.
Wizards from different regions gathered on the long bridge. Hogwarts students couldn't help but look out of the classroom, not only because the supervisor would come here, but also because among the people who came this time, There was Grindelwald.
Dumbledore shook hands with all the wizards, and when they arrived at Grindelwald, the other party also shook hands with him politely, but asked when they passed by: "Are you okay?"
Leading the visitors to the school, Dumbledore also replied softly: "It can't be better." After a pause, he didn't move his lips, but said a word, "The Chamber of Secrets."
Dumbledore couldn't figure it out either. He could only speculate that the lover he had known for nearly half a century had unconscious dreams. After all, the reason why this leader of black magic wanted to use the time-turner to change the past when he was a teenager was because He had prophetic nightmares.Although there are not many such dreams in his mouth, they have appeared several times.
Of course he didn't know that Grindelwald always pushed what he knew in the previous life into the dream, but Grindelwald didn't expect that this time, even if it was an excuse from the dream, it didn't stop the secret room, but the dead people were different.
Grindelwald did not know who the person who died was, and the name of the deceased was not even mentioned in the newspaper. After the secret room incident was resolved, the victim was only lightly replaced by "a girl" by the newspaper.He can only speculate that if Voldemort was born in 1926 and the Chamber of Secrets incident happened in 1943, then the girl who died at that time must not be the first-year girl who was victimized in 1945 in this life.
However, this time, he was well prepared.
Grindelwald strode into Hogwarts. This is not the first time he has come to this school. In the past 40 years, he was in an emergency to meet his partner. Been here many times.But it was the first time to enter from the main entrance.
Ignoring the curious expressions of the students, he and the investigation team first entered the medical wing to check on the girl who died suddenly.
Looking at the corpse, a group of wizards could see no trace of casting spells at all. In the end, all the wizards came to the same conclusion as the wizards in the medical wing: it might be an unforgivable spell or an attack by a magical animal.
The professor of Fantastic Beasts was called in at once, his office searched by the Aurors and the Overseer Society, and all students and teachers at the school were examined with wands for signs of the use of Unforgivable spells.
Grindelwald did not attend.Grindelwald did not participate, he left the main force, alone, standing at the place where the girl died, just standing at the place where the girl died, and continued to filter the original newspaper over and over again in his mind with a blank expression, trying to find the place where the girl died. In a very short introduction, search for more valid information.
Whether it was the last time or this time, the death point was all women, and it was all in this women's bathroom. The animal that attacked was very clear, it was a basilisk.He crossed his arms and propped his chin and thought: It is very clear that the basilisk was released from this women's bathroom. The question is: how was it released?
The feeling of being watched interrupted his thoughts, and he turned his head to see a handsome young man.He maintained a cold expression, staring at the student who was wearing the same college uniform as his adopted son.
There was no kindness in his eyes, and there was even a bit of disgust, but the other party seemed a little excited to see him, seeing that he did not expel himself, this person took a step forward, and said softly: "Excuse me, are you Mr. Grindelwald?" Seeing him nodding, the student took a deep breath and whispered, "Excuse me, please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Tom Riddle, and I am a Hogwarts prefect. I admire you very much , so glad to see you here!"
Even Grindelwald was stunned when he heard his self-introduction.He remembered that the last time he saw Tom Riddle in his memory, he was a person with flat facial features that almost disappeared, and he had no connection with this handsome boy now.
Of course, he inferred that he made Horcruxes through newspapers and Riddle's various behaviors in the last life, but even as a user of black magic, he never thought that too many Horcruxes could make people so nondescript .
Because of his usual indifferent expression, Riddle obviously didn't notice that he was in a daze, and simply thought it was a signal to encourage him to continue: "I admire your courage very much, and I also respect your accomplishments in black magic. If possible, Of course, I hope to have this opportunity to work for you in the New Future Alliance."
God of death, what kind of soul do you reincarnate into the world every day?
As a person who is good at getting information from other people, Grindelwald can certainly see that the humility in this young man's mouth is just a cliché.Does this young man really think that Grindelwald is the kind of person who would get dizzy because of a little fame and compliments?
Facing Tom Riddle of this era, Grindelwald felt a little speechless for the first time. He didn't remember that this kid had a tendency to join Nurmengard in his previous life, so where did the time-space line in this life deviate? , let him feel that the New Future Alliance is worth seeking refuge in?
No, it's not that the new future is worthy of refuge. Grindelwald looked at him with a straight face, but he immediately understood the reason for the other party in his mind.He wanted to join the new future only because, since the establishment of "Charter One", the New Future Alliance was very unstable, and those pure-blood wizards who had worked with Grindelwald were very dissatisfied with his agreement and signing "Charter One" ", thinking that this is the decline of pure blood.
And this is an excellent opportunity for Voldemort, who expects to rule the wizarding world and kill all Muggles, half-bloods, and mudbloods.
Agree, or disagree?Do you want to keep this person by your side, so that you can seek skin from a tiger at the same time as surveillance?
Grindelwald turned around and looked at him again, finally showing a contemptuous smile from the corners of his eyes. Did this kid really think that the old Grindelwald would be Cronus, and he himself would be the main god in the future?Thinking of this, before he had time to speak, the sound of footsteps from behind had interrupted them, or Riddle's "conversation" alone.
You don't need to look back to know who is coming, the familiar and gentle voice sounded behind him: "Tom? What are you doing here if you don't go to class?"
Tom changed his expression just now and became anxious and pitiful: "Professor, I heard that if the murderer is not found, the school will be closed, is it? Then what should we do?"
Dumbledore said calmly: "Yes, that's what the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic said, but the Supervisory Association will discuss it again. If you have time to care about these, why don't you go back to class, okay?"
Riddle gave Grindelwald a deep look, as if expressing his loyalty and admiration, Grindelwald still didn't speak, he turned and left.
But just when he took a few steps, Grindelwald suddenly said: "Mr. Riddle, if you really want to join the New Future Alliance, just write a cover letter. After all, I am not the person in charge there now."
Riddle, who turned around quickly because of his words, showed a bit of viciousness when he looked at him, but he let it go and stopped it quickly, and his respectful expression immediately surfaced: "Thank you for your guidance."
Grindelwald didn't speak anymore, until he turned away and couldn't feel his breath, Grindelwald turned to look at his partner: "Students in your school, what is in their minds?"
"Gellert." As if he couldn't see him saying bad things about his school and students, Dumbledore warned him softly, but in front of him, the professor's voice was always so gentle, even if it was admonition, it was not the same. Xiang is loud and powerful when facing students.
After admonishing, Dumbledore asked: "What are you doing standing at the door of the women's bathroom? Don't tell me that you have been a man for 60 years and suddenly feel like changing gender."
Glancing at him dissatisfied, and expressing his disappreciation of his humor, Grindelwald said, "What do you think, there is a secret room in the school?" When they discussed last time, it was obvious that Dumbledore Not very interested in this conclusion.
"It's not what I said, but this semester, some students felt that something was moving in the school. So the story of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets has spread among the students again." Dumbledore stood shoulder to shoulder with him He stood at the bathroom door and replied.
Grindelwald looked at the sealed bathroom, and said softly and suspiciously: "If it was attacked by a magical animal, shouldn't this animal be in this bathroom?"
"But so far, we haven't found any clues here. Theseus has been in there several times." Dumbledore.
"What if there is indeed a secret room inside?" Grindelwald asked calmly.
"You mean, the entrance to this chamber of secrets is here? And someone opened the chamber of secrets, and that unfortunate little girl happened to be here?" Dumbledore didn't move, staring at the closed bathroom and whispered, "Can you hide in the bathroom?" In the room, there are magical animals, and they are still heard in various places in the school, Slytherin traits," he paused, and finally turned his head.Grindelwald also turned his head to look at him at this time, and the two looked at each other calmly. Dumbledore continued, "A snake hidden in a pipe?"
After saying this, they didn't speak any more, they just affirmed each other's guess from their eyes.Until a teacher ran over and said, "Professor Dumbledore, we may have caught the real culprit."
Dumbledore was not in a hurry, but said steadily, "Who is it?"
"Rupert Hagrid!" The teacher was also very surprised, "A student told us that Mr. Hagrid kept a large spider monster."
Dumbledore lowered his face and said without hesitation: "Rupert? Impossible!"
Grindelwald interjected lazily at this time: "Since you think the female student died of magical animals, why don't you find an expert?"
Dumbledore turned to look at him, with a flash of a smile in his eyes: "Mr. Grindelwald can always put forward some good suggestions just right."
"Thank you, professor, I'm just exercising my rights as a member of the United Association." Grindelwald's calm voice was really smug.
Dumbledore turned his head and said, "Please inform Mr. Newt Scamander, and please invite a knowledgeable wizard from St. Mungo's Hospital."
The teacher glanced at Grindelwald in surprise, agreed hastily, and went to write a letter to New.After he left, Grindelwald said softly: "As far as I know, Mr. Scamander has been in Africa recently."
"That's really troublesome. If the evidence cannot be found immediately, the Ministry of Magic will definitely detain Hagrid first, and then release him after the investigation. I don't know if Hagrid can survive the darkness of Azkaban." Dumbledore said Then, he walked quickly to the principal's office. People from both the Supervisory Association and the Ministry of Magic are there now, "I hope that if Newt is not here, Tina can come here for him."
As soon as they entered, they heard that several people and horses were already arguing, and Rupert Hagrid was loudly blowing his nose and sobbing in defense.As soon as Grindelwald entered the door, he sneered because of the noise, which made the whole room suddenly quiet. This man who had dared to publicly contend with the Ministry of Magic for 40 years, once he appeared, would still make people silent for a while.
Only Dumbledore looked around everyone with a smile, and said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
The Law Enforcement Director of the Ministry of Magic blushed and said: "Since the magical beast has been found, we will take this student away, and his wand should also be broken!"
The Supervisory Association is used to confronting the Ministry of Magic: "Sir, we just found a spider monster. We can't prove that this girl was killed by this spider monster, nor can it prove that Mr. Hagrid did it on purpose."
"Aragok couldn't kill! I taught him!" Hagrid cried sadly.
Dumbledore raised his hand, motioning for everyone to calm down first: "Regarding this matter, I have already invited Mr. Newt Scamander, after all, he is a professional, and for the sake of justice, I will also invite someone to invite Mungo's experts."
The Ministry of Magic has gone mad with anger: "Dumbledore, if any of your students have any accidents during this period, your school will be closed!"
Grindelwald raised the corners of his lips: "I really don't understand, who dares to kill another student in front of so many Ministry of Magic and international wizards? If so, his purpose is not to kill deliberately, but to kill a student on purpose. Challenge the nerves of everyone in the magic world."
His voice, which had always been slow, disdainful and never raised since middle age, always made people feel a little chilly, and the scene became quiet again, only Hagrid's intermittent sobs remained.
The people from the Ministry of Magic wanted to use all kinds of spells against Grindelwald, at least to go to the duel, but Grindelwald didn't even look at them, and he was out of tune with the people from the Supervisory Association. After that, he stood in front of the window of the principal's office, waiting for news.
Soon, St. Mungo's people arrived first, and because Newt was far away in Africa, Tina, the Minister of Law Enforcement of the Magical Congress of America, who was at home on vacation, took care of Newt.As soon as this woman who was familiar with all kinds of magical animals and experienced in handling cases like her husband entered Hogwarts, her serious expression made people involuntarily back down.
After watching the dead girl, St. Mungo's expert said at the same time as Tina: "It's not a spider monster."
Tina said first: "There are no bite marks or signs of struggle. If it is a spider monster, people will not die instantly, but will be attacked. During the struggle, the limbs will be torn apart by the spider monster, and the body will also be damaged." Presenting a variety of bites."
St. Mungo's healing wizard nodded in agreement: "It is indeed the case. The closest thing to this kind of instant death is the unforgivable spell. If it is a magical animal, unless it is a legendary basilisk."
Grindelwald turned his head and asked, "Basilisk?"
The healing wizard nodded: "Yes, no matter who, even you, with all due respect, as long as they look into the eyes of the basilisk, their soul will be sucked away by him immediately. But according to this lady's husband, there are already 400 people in the UK. I haven't seen a basilisk in years."
Grindelwald said: "But as far as I know, after Hogwarts was founded, before one of the founders, Slytherin, left angrily, he built a secret room and left behind a protector."
The healing wizard covered his mouth and took a deep breath: "Although your suspicion is bold, we can't confirm it."
Grindelwald said: "Fortunately, I really know a descendant of Slytherin. I think, if you don't mind, I can ask someone to come over and confirm it."
Dumbledore looked at him in surprise: "Why...?" He bit his lower lip, preventing himself from almost saying something too intimate.
Grindelwald took the time to make suggestions at this time, indicating that he was already prepared.Even before he heard the news and came to Hogwarts, he had already set his target on the Chamber of Secrets.Is this another strange nightmare?
Grindelwald seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said first: "Dear Mr. Professor, I am dedicated to collecting all kinds of information in Europe, and Slytherin is one of the fans of black magic. Of course, I will also collect information. His information. As far as I know, he should have another descendant living in America."
It's no wonder that he suddenly asked about the Hogwarts Chamber of Secrets last time, because he had been studying this part.Dumbledore scowled.Studying his school, he didn't share this part of knowledge with him. If he had known these things earlier, maybe he wouldn't be so passive this time.What's more, if you really started this matter because you had a nightmare, but you didn't tell yourself, wouldn't you be afraid that you would worry about it afterwards?
Grindelwald turned his head to him with his hands behind his back, but Dumbledore didn't agree with this and turned his face away seriously.On the other side, Tina couldn't help looking at the sky, thinking that she must share today's events with her husband when she goes back.
Grindelwald notified the members of the New Future UK branch with Floo powder, and soon someone entered Hogwarts with a sack and handed it to Grindelwald respectfully.
Members of the Ministry of Magic said angrily again: "Grindelwald, this is an illegal kidnapping!"
"It's just that when Mr. Gunter was invited to come, he was not very polite. I'm sorry. But if he is willing to cooperate with the investigation, my people will not use such a rude method. In the case of dead people, the priorities are the best. Sir, you should have your own judgment, right?" Grindelwald said apologetically.
Dumbledore said: "Mr. Grindelwald, even so, I'm afraid you will have to pay a fine to the Superintendent!"
Just pay it, it's just a fine, you don't know Nurmengard's Gringotts account, so get it yourself.Grindelwald waved his hand and gestured to his partner with his eyes, and Dumbledore's face was rarely more gloomy.
Grindelwald had no choice but to wait to go home and listen to Dumbledore's lecture.He didn't open the sack immediately, but carried the sack to the women's washroom where the incident happened without any effort, and the people from the Supervisory Association and the Ministry of Magic hurriedly followed.
When he reached the door, Grindelwald tapped his wand, and a man with messy hair rolled out of the loose sack, growling with a gloomy expression. He instinctively spoke Parseltongue first, and then English: "You These bastards, what do you want to do?"
Headmaster Dippet looked at him in surprise: "Morfin Gaunt? Is he a descendant of Slytherin?"
Grindelwald didn't pay attention to the man anymore, but stared closely at his finger. He was wearing a large ring with a black stone on it.Grindelwald's face instantly became more gloomy than this Mr. Gunter.
Dumbledore looked at him inexplicably, and followed his eyes.He frowned, and suddenly his eyes widened in surprise.They both raised their heads at the same time and exchanged a look: Resurrection Stone!
Gunter looked at Principal Dippet at this time: "Sir, I have graduated for many years, and I don't need your care and teaching!"
A wizard from the Supervision Council of Magic stepped forward and said, "Mr. Gunter, we just ask you to help investigate a matter. A girl was murdered in school..."
Gunter roared: "What's none of my business? I didn't kill it! I've been at home all this time! My neighbors can prove it!"
Grindelwald finally turned his eyes back from the resurrection stone. The main reason he was able to turn his attention away from the resurrection stone was that Gaunt's voice was too loud!He frowned and interrupted them, not to mention the people from the Supervisory Association all looked at him. After all, they didn't understand why Grindelwald brought Gunter here.
"Mr. Gunter, we all know that you didn't kill anyone. We just want you to use Parseltongue to find the secret room in this room." Grindelwald said coldly.
Mofen didn't understand, so he said, "What Parseltongue, what secret room?"
"You just have to say open it here in Parseltongue! I think, if there is a secret room, it should be opened." Grindelwald said impatiently.
"Fuck you! Who are you! What right do you have to say that to me!" Morfin raised his wand to him, "Tell me one more word, and I won't be polite!"
Now even the Ministry of Magic is nervous. Although they all said they wanted to capture Grindelwald, in the past few decades, all members of the Ministry of Magic who have fought Grindelwald have stayed in the hospital for more than a month.Is this Mr. Gaunt desperate?
Grindelwald didn't even pull out his wand, just pulled out a cold smile: "If you don't want to, I don't mind using the Imperius Curse on you, making you look like a puppet, facing what I think is the secret room , say it all over with your strange accent!"
"Gellert Grindelwald!" Dumbledore stood aside and warned. He was about to say something, but his eyes glanced at the students observing the situation behind the colonnade, and he couldn't help frowning, "Tom?"
The name made Morfin look over reflexively, and when he looked at the young man behind the pillar, he said furiously, "Tom Riddle, where have you made my sister!"
Riddle took a step back in surprise, reflexively said: "I don't know you! I don't know your sister either!"
Mofen rushed over regardless: "You don't know me, I know you! You abducted my sister for almost 20 years! Even my father is mad at you! Get out of here!"
Principal Dippet hurriedly said: "Morfin, you are dizzy! This kid is only 16 years old, how could he abduct your sister? Don't be impulsive."
Morfin didn't listen to him: "This face is exactly the same, how could it be different! Come here!" He said, pulling out his wand and about to cast a binding spell on Riddle.
Riddle lowered his face and pulled out his wand without hesitation. While blocking the binding spell, he was about to give Morfin an attacking spell with his backhand.His spell was fast and strong, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that Morfin was no match for him.But sooner, Dumbledore had blocked his attack, and by the way gave him a total petrification.Riddle dodged quickly, he didn't even stop, and regardless of Dumbledore being his professor, one after another magic shot out from his wand, aiming at Morfin and Dumbledore who blocked him.
While blocking these attacks was no problem for Dumbledore, it still irritated Grindelwald.He raised his wand, and the black flames separated Dumbledore and Riddle like a monster with the head of a dragon, blocking every attack of black magic.This flame monster was like life, chasing after Riddle.
Morfin came to his senses at this moment, and said in surprise, "Who is he? The person who abducted my sister is a Muggle, it is impossible to use such a spell."
Riddle couldn't beat their joint attack for a while, so he was smart enough to absorb the magic in time, and said to Principal Dippet: "Principal, this is ridiculous! I'm just here to fulfill my responsibilities as a prefect! This Sir, and Professor Dumbledore, why are you targeting me?"
Headmaster Dippet cast a reproachful look at Dumbledore. Riddle is the smartest student here, and the future minister of the Ministry of Magic is promising. They are too messed up like this.Especially Gunter, he had a bad temper when he was in school, and he was crazy, so he couldn't believe it.
Grindelwald suddenly said, "I want to know, are you the one who revealed to the school that Hagrid kept the spider monster?"
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Riddle simply admitted: "Indeed, as a prefect, how can I let my classmates keep such a dangerous animal, not to mention that it also attacked other classmates."
"How are you sure that the animals raised by Mr. Hagrid attacked other students? Did you see it with your own eyes?" Grindelwald stopped him and asked slowly.
Riddle was so angry that he almost trembled, he turned to Dippet and said, "Principal!"
"Don't call your headmaster, you are answering the question from the International Council of Magic Supervision!" Grindelwald cut off the possibility of Dippet's confession, "Mr. Riddle, if you can't answer truthfully and provide sufficient Evidence, I can file a complaint with the Supervision Committee, thinking that you attacked your classmates and deliberately made this possibility dirty for others."
Riddle clenched his fists, suppressed his anger and said, "Mr. Grindelwald, I admire you so much..."
"Whether you admire me or not has anything to do with whether you did such a thing?" Grindelwald interrupted him again, and he even smiled when he spoke, which almost angered Riddle.
Dippet was also angry: "Mr. Grindelwald, Tom is No.1 in our school. He is the smartest student. He is not the same as Hagrid."
"What's so great about No.1? I was always No.1 when I was in Durmstrang." Grindelwald said coldly, this sentence almost choked Dippet and the members of the Ministry of Magic who wanted to speak.But what he said was the truth, this unruly Dark Lord was indeed No.1 during his school days.
Looking at Tom, Grindelwald continued: "I think he is different from Mr. Hagrid, but it is not a question of whether he is smart or not, but a question of whether he is kind or not. Moreover, what I am curious about is that Mr. Hagrid raised Don't the people in Gryffindor know about spiders? Isn't it strange that a Slytherin came to inform? More importantly," Grindelwald suddenly stretched out his hand, "I want to check Take Mr. Riddle's wand, because when he attacked Mr. Gaunt and Professor Dumbledore, if I read correctly, he used some black magic. I didn't know that Hogwarts students can learn black magic magic."
Grindelwald stretched out his hand calmly, looked at Riddle indifferently, but the other party only looked at Dippet, but Dippet looked at Dumbledore in embarrassment, but Dumbledore lowered his head slightly. dont see.
Morfin Gunter looked at them inexplicably: "What the hell do you mean?"
Grindelwald explained to him with rare kindness: "If he really looks like the man who abducted your sister, then this young gentleman may be your nephew. If he is, then he is the one in this school. , the only person who can speak Parseltongue. But as for whether he is," Grindelwald said slowly, still staring at Riddle, "we just need to ask the family who adopted him, what is the name of his biological mother, and Extract the memories about his biological mother from their brains, and you will know."
At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly whispered a word to Morfin's ear, and Morfin looked at him in surprise, but out of trust in this face, which seemed kind, especially for someone with a reputation in the magic world, He turned his head to look at the very nervous Riddle, opened his mouth to say something, and Riddle instinctively replied.But after he replied, he saw the surprised eyes of everyone in front of him, and realized that he had been fooled by Dumbledore.
Morfin had spoken to him in Parseltongue just now!
Grindelwald raised one corner of his lips and said softly: "Now, Mr. Riddle, can you show us your wand?"
Riddle insisted: "Even if I can speak Parseltongue, it doesn't mean that I can open the secret room you just mentioned in this bathroom and release the basilisk!"
The Ministry of Magic wanted to agree with what he said, but Dumbledore sighed softly. The members of the Ministry of Magic looked at him inexplicably. There is no reason to sigh, but they saw Dumbledore raised his head and said calmly: "Tom, we It said there was a secret room, but it didn't say that the secret room was in this bathroom, let alone that there was a basilisk in it."
Riddle's slightly pale face became even paler, but Grindelwald said at this time: "To confirm, is the secret room in the bathroom, and whether there is a basilisk in it, Mr. Gunter, please cooperate." Bar."
Gunter still didn't understand the situation, and retorted instinctively: "Why should I listen to you."
Because of his stupidity, Grindelwald laughed mockingly: "Mr. Gunter, since both of you can speak Parseltongue and were in the UK during the incident, if both of you have been unwilling to cooperate with the investigation, can we conduct a reasonable investigation?" Presumably, you planned to jointly attack Hogwarts Castle?"
"Mr. Grindelwald..." Tina raised her voice and called him, but seeing the anger hidden under his cold eyes, she almost lost her voice, but still forced herself to finish the sentence, "This is really not a reasonable guess !"
Looking at her, Grindelwald snorted: "Mrs. Scamander, you always speak out when others don't like it."
Tina almost rolled her eyes at him, if her sister was not working in the New Future Alliance, she really wanted to point her wand at this guy and curse at him!She endured it, and said coldly: "I'm just telling the truth, whether you like it or not, that's your business!"
At this moment, Dumbledore finally interjected softly: "Mr. Gaunt, please try to open the secret room. It can prove your innocence, and we can also prove the innocence of others."
Seeing Gaunt going to the bathroom, Riddle couldn't help but instinctively raised his wand, but Grindelwald was one step ahead of him and prepared him with his wand. Seeing the suspicious expressions of the others, Riddle suddenly yelled at them angrily. With a sound, the window was broken in an instant, turned into a thick smoke, and disappeared.
Grindelwald sent out a black flame when he broke the window, but he was still a step behind.He didn't catch up, but put away the flames and stared at the direction where Riddle disappeared, his chest heaved rapidly, obviously very angry.Since Riddle dared to use black magic against Dumbledore just now, his anger has risen. Now that Riddle has actually let Riddle run away, he has no way to suppress it.
At this moment, Morfin seemed to finally realize that the one he had just quarreled with was actually the Dark Lord Grindelwald, which made him almost startled and opened his mouth, but the blood of the descendants of Slytherin allowed him to maintain his dignity.With a light cough, he put on airs and said: "Do you still need to open the secret room?"
Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald, who was obviously not calmed down, and took over the overall situation: "Let's try it, we need to prove it."
Morfin cleared his throat again, walked into the bathroom, and yelled into it in Parseltongue, "Open!"
Although he didn't know where the specific entrance to the secret room was, his voice was loud enough to attract the secret room's attention. A faucet suddenly began to change shape, and then slowly became louder.Dumbledore frowned suddenly, pulled Morfin away, and loudly reminded all the wizards around him: "If the basilisk really comes out, don't look into his eyes."
The chamber of secrets was opened, and no creatures appeared immediately, which made everyone relieved for a while, but the unique reptile-like scale friction sound came quickly, which sounded like a big guy, and all the wizards raised their hands in unison. The representative of the Ministry of Magic said in a trembling voice: "Why do we have to wait for the basilisk to come out and prove that there is a secret room? Why can't we close the door first?"
Morfin also realized what was going on, and with rare tact he yelled, "Shut down!"
The door of the Chamber of Secrets swung shut again, and the sound of the giant slamming against the door was the last sound they heard before the Chamber of Secrets closed, but they did not see this legendary Slytherin-raised monster.But all the wizards were still relieved, after all, none of them knew how to kill a basilisk.
Grindelwald finally turned around from the window, looked at Morfin, and smiled falsely: "Now, it can be proved that this matter has nothing to do with you."
All the wizards were brought back to their souls by his words, almost dumbfounded, the person who can open the secret room is the most likely person, how could it have nothing to do with him?But thinking about the possible relationship between the boy who escaped just now and Morfin in front of him, the person who is most likely to open the secret room during school is self-evident.
But Dumbledore said calmly and happily: "Then, it can be proved that Mr. Hagrid is not the mastermind of this incident, and now the mastermind is fleeing. We can only hope that the Ministry of Magic's Law Enforcement Division can arrest him and bring him to justice." .”
Grindelwald didn't speak, he just looked in the direction of Riddle's escape, and his face sank.
After the members of the Supervisory Association and the Ministry of Magic left, Grindelwald went to the Pig's Head Bar. Aberforth hadn't seen him for a long time. When he saw him at this moment, he looked very pale and said sneeringly, "What's wrong? Arguing with my brother again Are you already old? Don’t you know how to restrain yourself?”
Grindelwald sat in front of his bar and looked at him cautiously. This look surprised Aberforth and became serious, so he said, "Aberforth, I know you will never Don't like me very much."
Oh, Merlin, you're really bringing up old things again!Aberforth mocks
