"She refused?" The man's deep and mellow voice was like coffee from the Sunshine Coast, with a slight teasing smile.

Madam Hong, who was sitting beside him, opened her closed eyes, and her lifeless body seemed to be injected with soul at once, and even the extraordinarily cold and serious face reflected the depressed mood of the owner. "She said she didn't believe in fate."

Grindelwald rested his left elbow on the dining table lazily, raised his glass with his right hand, and the red wine in the glass shook gently. "Celebrate, the 65th failed apprenticeship."

Mrs. Red: ...

Today's most famous fortune teller in Europe and professor of divination in Durmstrang can't find anyone who can pass on his mantle.Anyone she can fancy is not interested in fortune-telling; and those who are willing to make divination a lifelong career, she thinks they are not talented.Mrs. Hong was unwilling to lower her standards. This wasted half a century. The matter of accepting apprentices became the only thing that this serious and aloof lady could make people laugh at.

"Look, I found talent for you." Grindelwald spread his hands, with an expression of "I gave you a chance but you didn't grasp it".

Madam Hong raised her hands to brush her gray hair from her temples, and calmly began to cut the steak on the plate.The veal bones are fresh and tender, the wine is fragrant, and a simple meal reveals a delicate French meal. "I'm going to take her back to Durmstrang." The woman said while wiping the corners of her mouth. "She's an orphan. It's easy to operate."

Grindelwald had nothing to do, and once again raised his glass to the Red Lady.

On the couch behind them, Wendy fell asleep unconsciously.Her posture was stiff, lying on her back with her arms drooping and sticking to her sides, like a person lying flat and standing at attention, or a corpse that had been frozen in a freezer for a long time.Although she was covered with a blanket, this physical form showed that she was definitely not sleeping peacefully.

A huge full-length mirror stood beside the sofa, facing Wendy's sleeping face.The strange thing is that there is no image reflected in the mirror, but a vast expanse of whiteness.

Suddenly, a man in wizard robes appeared in the mirror, with brown hair and brown-green eyes, just like an ordinary employee of the Ministry of Magic, a look that was easily overlooked.

"She's very dangerous." The man in the mirror spoke, his expression twisted so badly that his anger almost penetrated the dimension wall, "She found the center in less than half an hour! Less than half an hour! It's hard to imagine that she entered the mirror world for the first time !I have to eliminate-"

"Lenny." Grindelwald interrupted him softly and coldly, "The Red Lady snatched her from you, then she belongs to the Red Lady."

Rainey gasped behind the mirror: "She broke my castle! Now the three two-way passages in Hogwarts can't be closed. I can't imagine that they will be discovered at any time..."

The man in the mirror vented his emotions angrily. He had no extravagant hope of changing Grindelwald's decision, he was just venting.Along with his roar, the Muggle couple sitting at the other end of the table trembled.

Yes, Muggle couples.

The husband is a fat man with round cheeks, and strands of sweaty hair stick to his forehead.In the light of the bright crystal chandelier, his cheeks took on an unnatural blush.An anxious light shone in a pair of dark eyes.The steak on the plate was even more untouched.

His wife is a well-proportioned beauty, with low-key luxury from head to toe, inside and out.She has passed the stage of showing off her wealth like a little girl when she first married into a wealthy family, and she is becoming more and more like a good wife and mother of superior birth.Wealth, status, family, she has it all.If she had to use one word to describe how she felt about life, it would be "perfect", even if her son became a wizard, it didn't change this perfection.

She still remembers what she said when she saw off her children at King's Cross Station a few years ago: "If you think it's not good there, go home. You are the only heir to your father, and you have nothing to fear. Mom and Dad are your forever backing."

Then her little man waved her hand away, promising with a serious face that he would make his way in the wizarding world.

What a wonderful time.

If there is no damn war.

The war has turned the behavior of wandering in the gray area into traitorous behavior.The woman's pale fingers almost crushed the handkerchief into pieces.His kid, oh my gosh, is there anything a mom feels more guilty about than getting her kid in the way?They are no longer his back, they even need him to find a way out for the whole family.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help casting a look at her husband resentfully.

Her husband paid no attention to her at all, and all the attention was focused on Grindelwald.It wasn't until the formidable blond wizard had finished his dessert and thanked his host for his hospitality with casual politeness that Mr. Cook seized the opportunity to ask obsequiously: "My lord, you said that you can do it in a wizard's way." Take us to Germany..."

"Of course I can do what I promise."

"Oh, of course, of course. Of course I don't doubt that. Wonder when we're going?"

Grindelwald glanced at the chubby Muggle with a half-smile: "You can leave after Mr. Ling's mission is completed."

Mr. Cook's face was flushed red, and beads of sweat flowed from his forehead along the side of his nose. He muttered in a voice that was almost talking to himself: "There are more and more agents monitoring here. I'm afraid I will be killed tomorrow." Arrested."

"They can't come in." Madam Hong interrupted coldly.As a core saint, she has seen many outstanding Muggles, but this man in front of her really made her look down on him.

The scene was awkward for a while.

At this moment, Rennie, who had vented his grievances and gone back to work, reappeared in the mirror. "Your Excellency, someone has invaded again." The first time was familiar and the second time was familiar, Rennie's businesslike tone was full of despair.

There was a flash of brilliance in the mirror, and the images of two boys in black robes and green ties walking in the mirrored space appeared in front of everyone.The two boys were about the same height, even the one walking behind was slightly shorter, but his wand rested mercilessly on the spine of the one in front.

An utterly intimidating gesture.

"Fin!" screamed Mrs. Cook, throwing herself in front of the mirror, beating the smooth glass in an attempt to free her baby.It's a pity that her voice cannot be conveyed to another world at all.

Tom pressed Cook into the mirrored Ravenclaw common room.The two seem to be having a conversation.Tom asked anxiously, while Cook tried to defend himself.It's just that through the mirror, they can only see their lips opening and closing, and the specific content of the conversation is unknown.

Four adults in the room.

Mr. Cook's face was pale, and he froze in place, not daring to move.His wife had just woken up from hysteria, and she sat slumped on the carpet in front of the mirror, looking up at the wizard and witch beggingly.

Madam Hong held a cup of tea indifferently, not knowing what she was thinking.A gleam of interest flashed in Grindelwald's eyes.

"Raney," he said softly, "I remember the boy as—"

"Tom Riddle, he inherited all the inheritance of the Gunter family."

"Oh, little heir of Slytherin." A generation of Dark Lord whistled lightly, his expression becoming cheerful, "Rainy, I dare say your little Ravenclaw girl has lost contact."

The picture in the mirror kept shaking, like an old TV with bad reception.After waiting for about 5 minutes, I heard Rainey's depressed voice: "You are right." At the end, he added: "A chess piece that has not joined the saints is unreliable. She betrayed us."

Grindelwald shook her finger: "She may not have the courage to betray, but if someone catches the flaw - it is inevitable for her mind - she can't bear a little bit of interrogation."

"It was my mistake, Your Excellency." Rainey's voice replied, "What should we do now? The Resurrection Stone has not been found yet, and we cannot lose Mr. Cook."

"The resurrection stone... has been found." Grindelwald's eyes lit up, like a cheetah discovering its prey, and he pointed to Tom's stern face in the mirror, "This child found Miss Pince, and also found Mr. Cook , and discovered the secret of the mirror. If it is a little wizard who knows nothing, it is the most normal reaction to run to inform the professor. But he followed the world in the mirror and came towards us. What does this mean? "

All eyes were on Grindelwald's face, his look of being in control had a magical power of trust.

"That means two things.

"He knew he had the leverage we wanted.

"We also have chips in our hands that he wants."

The room was silent.Grindelwald's acumen is breathtaking.

The first person to regain the ability to speak was Madam Hong: "A little wizard in the second grade." She shook her head slightly, "I'm surprised."

"If you're referring to him disemboweling his own dead uncle, that would be surprising. But we all know Tom Riddle has been suspicious of the top ten of the list."

Rainey then made a key point: "I searched his room several times, but I didn't find the resurrection stone. He also has no account opening records in Gringotts. If he really took the resurrection stone, where would he hide it?" ?”

Grindelwald smiled and lifted his coat and put it on his body, and stepped vigorously on the ground with his beautiful riding boots: "It may be Slytherin's secret room. But this is not important now, after all, he will bring us to the In front of the Resurrection Stone. It's a showdown, a decisive battle, brothers and sisters. Let's go together and show our little opponents some respect."
