Chapter 68 Returning Home

It seems that there has never been a professor at Hogwarts teaching two courses at the same time.

Before Christmas, Gretel heard that Snape was actively trying to convince Dumbledore to let him start teaching Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts the next year.

However, based on Gretel's understanding of Dumbledore, his request probably would not be granted.

It is also worth mentioning that Cedric Diggory also got along with Gretel during this time and was attracted by his ideas.

After receiving the approval of all members of Gretel's team, he was successfully recruited into the team.

He was also the first person from the outer court to join Gretel's team, and the secret society operation finally broke through from Ravenclaw.

There were classes during the day, and at night the members of Team Gretel went on a night tour to the Room of Requirement.

Grete also considered whether to change the gathering place.

With so many people going to the Room of Requirement every night, and the Headmaster's Office and the Room of Requirement being on the same floor, would it be possible to attract Dumbledore's attention so often.

Finally, after seeking the consent of the team members, Gretel gave up the idea.

In Hogwarts, which is full of magic circles, except for the Room of Requirement. No other place could satisfy the demands of their secret society.

Besides, the Room of Requirement is a semi-open secret in Hogwarts, and there are countless people who know about it.

There's no reason why Dumbledore would be staring at this place.

In order to ensure that the meeting place would not be broken into accidentally, they also changed the location to a new one.

Many additional requests have been added when requesting a room from the Room of Requirement.

In this way, he studied Hogwarts' courses during the day, and went to the Room of Requirement to study Gretel's courses at night.

After one semester, almost everyone in Gretel's team has developed a terrifying smoky makeup, and they still enjoy it.

What they didn't know was that if Gretel hadn't used [Original Origin] to convert magic power into soul power and supplement it for them during the lecture.

After one semester, I don’t know how many things have passed by.

The Christmas vacation came as scheduled, and Gretel filled in his name on the school leaving list early.

Flitwick tested Gretel's ability in private and confirmed that he was indeed capable of protecting himself, and then approved his application to leave school with a stroke of a pen.

The Hogwarts Express stopped at the edge of platform nine and three-quarters a week before Christmas.

The last time he went home was Christmas. If you think about it, Gretel hadn't been back for a whole year.

The moment he walked out of the platform, Gretel was so excited that he even wanted to use Apparition, if there were no traces bound to his body.

"Hello, Mr. Gretel." As he left King's Cross Station, a wizard who covered himself tightly appeared in front of his eyes.

Gretel dropped his arms, and the wand hidden in his sleeve fell straight into his palm.

"I'm just here to convey a message for the master, please don't do anything." To prove himself, the visitor put the wand into his pocket, spread his hands and looked at Gretel.

"The master's original words are: Gretel, you must have killed the werewolves Fenrir and Selwyn. It seems that you have absorbed the things I left behind well. You are more talented than I thought.

I won't send people to catch you anymore. These servants can't deal with you, so I won't let them waste their time here again.

Give you a chance to come back to me before I ascend the throne again, and I guarantee that you will still be the best among all people.

If I regain the throne and you come to me, I don't know whether you will receive this kind of treatment. "

The visitor had imitated Voldemort's tone of voice, especially the cold laughter. When he closed his eyes, Gretel even felt that it was Professor Fu himself.

As if waiting for Grete's reply, the wizard in front of him stood silently after finishing the message.

"Me, if possible, I still want to be a Muggle. Actually, think about it, except that Muggles don't know magic, what's the difference between Muggles and wizards.

Don't wizards have twenty-four hours in a day? Or maybe a wizard can eat the wind and drink the dew instead of eating the fireworks of the world?

So, in my opinion, wizards are actually just a group of people with special talents. "

Gretel lowered his head and sighed, then raised his head and stared into the eyes of the wizard in front of him.

It's like seeing another person beyond the mountains and seas.

"Professor, if you take a good look at the Muggle world.

You will find that the picture you imagined of wizards being superior to others and ruling the world is simply impossible to realize.

It is even said that if you rely on this simple method of violence, you will not even be able to fight out of London.

Forget it, you are obsessed with it now anyway, and you won’t listen to anything I say.

Professor, don't worry, I will try my best to save you on the day you fail.

Not for anything, just to let you see the new era with your own eyes in the future. "

After saying that, Gretel walked away silently, and the wave of disembodiment flashed behind him.

Only then did he murmur the last sentence: "For that person who will never have the chance to see it again, go and experience it for yourself."

Before the butterfly effect caused casualties, Gretel's idea was just to find a group of like-minded people to build a business empire that spanned the magical world and the ordinary world.

He never thought he would be the savior, even if those around him thought he was.

In Gretl's opinion, the future Orne Bernard is the one who is really concerned about the future of wizards.

He thought more than once that if he hadn't done anything to Ginny Weasley, this irreversible thing would not have happened.

At least, in the original world line, no one died until Voldemort was resurrected.

This is also the reason why he completely stayed away from the Savior Team after dealing with the Filch incident.

He didn't want to let people who didn't want to do it die because of his butterfly effect.

No one knows how he struggled to get out of the self-blame.

It was also from that day that Gretl really faced his identity as a wizard.

——

After not going home for a year, many people left the orphanage, and several new people came.

Because of Hagrid's sponsorship from time to time, everyone in the orphanage looked good.

Those skinny children even started to have round faces.

"You didn't even tell me when you came back," Mrs. Swan complained to Gretl in ashes. "Forget it, it's good to be back, welcome home."

"Brother Gret, welcome home."

A group of little hairy people shouted in a mess.

Gret saw Mrs. Swan quietly wiped the corner of her eyes with her hand when he was not paying attention.

After dinner, Mrs. Swan reluctantly pulled Gret to sit in front of the fireplace.

"Mike, if it's dangerous, let's drop out of school. I'll send you to high school and college."

Gret's eyes widened. He was wondering who exposed his experience in the magic world.

"Last year you said you were going to study in America. During that time, I often saw strange figures around the welfare home, and they also had wands in their hands.

Except for me, no one cared about them. I think they must have cast the Muggle Expelling Spell you said.

Fortunately, I was not affected by the amulet you gave me.

If it's really dangerous, then..."

Mrs. Swan's face was full of worry about Gret, but she swallowed the rest of the words at the end.

Gret held Mrs. Swan's wounded hands and put them on her face.

"Mother Gretel, don't worry, everything is settled, no one will bother you anymore."

Small theater

Snape: Dumbledore, why don't you approve my application to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Dumbledore: Seven grades, two courses are too much for you to take care of.

Snape (tough): I can do it, at worst I can use a time-turner.

Dumbledore: The time-turner can't be used so casually, what if it accidentally changes history, who knows what the consequences will be.

Snape: Then you find someone to teach potions, and I will be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.

Dumbledore: Impossible, as long as I'm alive, don't even think about becoming this professor.

Snape: Okay, I understand, then, Ava~

PS: In Half-Blood Prince, Dumbledore told Harry in person that he knew this position was cursed by Voldemort, and that Snape could become a professor because Dumbledore had already made plans to sacrifice himself.

In my book, neither Dumbledore nor Strom, don't even think about dying, just go and work for Gretel. Magic lives forever, and the Dark Lord lives forever.
