Chapter 240 Return to School
After the meeting between the two, Lao Deng had always wanted to find an opportunity to release his good friend. It was not until this year's Christmas Eve meeting that he finally proposed this secret resolution to the "International Federation of Wizards" on the grounds that the sentence had exceeded fifty years. , and the magic world needs him to jointly resist the Dark Lord's counterattack.
As a result, Grindelwald was released on the condition that he be personally supervised by Dumbledore outside of Hogwarts.
Grindelwald had no intention of leaving Nurmengard Castle, but planned to remain in self-imprisonment until his death. Dumbledore tried to persuade him for a long time, but he remained unmoved. In the end, he was successfully persuaded by a letter from his great-aunt.
This famous historian didn't make much sense in the letter. He just said that Grindelwald had cleared away his sins. If he still felt that he owed something to society, he should make a contribution in return.
The old witch successfully persuaded him to return to the world, but when he came to visit the only living relative, she had become a little confused and could not recognize that the old man in front of her was the grandnephew from back then.
She regarded Grindelwald as a wizard of the same age and shared how she viewed her grandnephew. She believed that the child was not evil in nature and was full of a sense of justice. He was just raised by Kermstrong to speak with strength. The old witch regretted that she only cared about her own career and did not properly discipline her grandnephew. By the time she woke up, this young man had almost overturned the world.
If she could choose again, she would rather not write about any historical masterpiece. She just wanted her grandnephew to have a happy childhood and cultivate him into an outstanding wizard.
The witch talked for a while, her consciousness gradually became more chaotic, and then she fell into a deep sleep.
Grindelwald left and came to Hogwarts to hide, intending to join forces with Dumbledore to destroy Voldemort's second rise.
"Now, only the ministers in each country know the news of his release, and only you and I know about it in the UK. He will become our secret helper." Dumbledore said calmly while wiping his glasses.
"The witch decision-making team also knows." Chen Bin shook his head and said: "They know, this is no longer a secret."
"No, that little girl has become our undercover agent on the Muggle side. She is not allowed to reveal any of our secrets to the Muggle authorities. She can only report superficial progress."
"Little girl?" Chen Bin immediately guessed that Lao Deng was referring to Holly Taylor, and then once again expressed his deep admiration at the old man's ability to instigate rebellion against the enemy.
"Are you satisfied with the current performance of the Auror Corps?" Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject and caught Chen Bin off guard.
He has been away from England for half a year. Who knows what they will become now?
"It sounds like you're not very satisfied with your tone, right?" Chen Bin took a sip of black tea and estimated in his mind that the legion should recruit more than 200 people now. The weapons are not powerful, the armor is okay, and the auxiliary products are super powerful, but twelve against one The results are dire.
Of course, new members will not immediately go on duty wearing the top version, but these equipment can give them an intangible confidence, and the military equipment is more like a placebo.
"What do you want?" Chen Bin saw Dumbledore's smile and felt something bad in his heart.
Dumbledore's smile widened. "Let Voldemort show his face in the public, maintain his exposure, and let the new Aurors see the gap and not be complacent. This way Europe will not relax so quickly, and our wizarding world will not become war-weary so quickly. mood."
Chen Bin thought for a while, could it be that Dumbledore's regime was not stable? Moreover, even if they are not counted as pig teammates in each Ministry of Magic, they are definitely the ones who want to sweep away the competition.
"How to catch Voldemort out?" This is the question that Chen Bin is most concerned about.
"We want to explore his injuries and the extent of his reduced combat power." Dumbledore first stated the purpose, and then his method: "You and Harry have become his targets. As long as you are in the opposite corner, If you walk around the alley, his eyes will definitely find it.”
"No." Chen Bin held the portkey-shaped door key in one hand, waved his hand and shook his head: "Isabel took Harry to Diagon Alley to buy things during the summer vacation. I only ate there two days ago, and then followed him Katerina spent a long time shopping..."
He made a lot of excuses and even showed the door key in his hand. This was a way of hinting to Old Deng not to take advantage of him, otherwise he would go back to the castle and take Kate back to China.
"Haha, you don't know how much security force we have deployed there." Dumbledore's face immediately softened when he saw the door key, and persuaded: "If we find a way to coordinate the security manpower and the power of the rune array, Low, and you and Harry happened to be visiting Diagon Alley during this time..."
"No, this is too artificial." Chen Bin quickly interrupted: "As soon as the sound was turned down here, the two of us appeared over there."
Seeing that Lao Deng still wanted to persuade, Chen Bin suddenly had an idea in his mind: "I have a better suggestion."
Then, the two talked for more than three hours. Chen Bin has fully activated his deception ability, and even if he is beaten to death, he will not be used as bait this time. If Lao Deng wants to catch Voldemort so much, then let him and Grindelwald drink the polyjuice potion! As for the ambush location, they have already decided, it is Godric's Hollow.
Before leaving, Lao Deng suddenly asked coldly: "Does an ancient family like yours know the thirteenth use of dragon blood?"
Chen Bin's expression instantly turned strange when he heard this. Dragon blood is blood extracted from various fire dragons. It has a variety of magical properties and has at least twelve uses. It was also discovered by Dumbledore.
The twelve known uses of dragon blood include oven cleaner, spot remover and wart treatment. The remaining nine uses are not serious and can compete with Chen Bin's twelve ways of picking his nose.
"The thirteenth method of dragon blood is the main material of the potion for bloodline breakthrough, which can speed up the user's accumulation of magic power. It is not announced to prevent the extinction of fire dragons."
Dumbledore pretended to be calm and Chen Bin's dead fish eyes also turned into bull eyes! No wonder! Dragon blood is not expensive. A large fire dragon may extract a lot every week, but it is not cheap for ordinary families. Who would use it to solve problems that can be solved with spells?
"Well, what's next?" Chen Bin also pretended to be a big shot and asked calmly.
Talking about bloodline breakthrough with people with a serious excess of magic power? Chen Bin's starting point is already the end point that others can't reach in ten lifetimes.
Well, please ignore the fact that this guy's magic skills are not very good, his knowledge is not enough to publish a paper, his output is greatly limited, and he will never be able to become a normal wizard who can only release 10% of his total magic power in one attack. In short, his full power consumption still can't catch up with his natural recovery.
"Ahem." Dumbledore was rarely embarrassed, pretending to be nonchalant: "Looking at Harry's training progress, I plan to start giving him the medicine when he reaches the bottleneck of his bloodline."
"Whatever you want." Chen Bin had no opinion, anyway, he didn't want him to drink it. "But you should ask Snape's opinion first, he cares so much about Harry."
The two chatted for a few more words, and Chen Bin went back to Namar Castle for dinner.
At noon the next day, with a "bang", the three-story Knight Bus had passed the snow-covered Hogsmeade Village, and the car finally stopped outside the gate of Hogwarts.
Lupin and Tonks helped them get their luggage off the bus, and then said goodbye.
Isabel made a cheering gesture to Tonks, which made Lupin blush and quickly pulled his suitcase to escape to Hogwarts.
"Tonks, does he know?" Isabel tilted his head and asked in confusion.
Tonks' hair turned blood red with shame. She nodded and hid back in the car.
"No need to pick me up tonight. I'll ask the family wizard to send me over." Chen Weiguo waved to Isabel and followed Tonks on the bus.
"Stupid Isabel, you helped them to the point of coming out. Do you think Remus is a fool?" Sirius pulled the huge suitcase with a disdainful expression on his face.
"So dark! You deserve to be alone!" Isabel made a face at him and pulled Hermione towards Hogwarts.
Sirius' face darkened. He was really talking about something that was not related to the topic. People who are in trouble should avoid being in trouble.
"Is it my fault that I don't have a girlfriend?"
Ron and Harry looked at the single middle-aged man pitifully, dragged their luggage silently, and walked towards the castle along the icy driveway.
When they arrived in front of the oak door, Harry looked back and saw that the Knight Bus had indeed disappeared. Because Chen Bin had engraved the brain-blocking blood curse on them, Snape did not make up for him as predicted.
