Connor's Hogwarts

Chapter 355 Dumbledore's past

Dumbledore leaves Nurmengard with Connor.

Connor didn't dare to ask anything, so he followed.

The two of them didn't say a word on the road, Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about something, and Connor Connor still didn't understand what Dumbledore was taking him to see Grindelwald for.
It wasn't until the two of them returned to England that Connor couldn't help asking: "Professor Dumbledore, what are you taking me to see Mr. Grindelwald for? Are we... leaving now?"

Dumbledore said as if awakened from a dream: "Oh, of course, since our goal has been achieved, of course we can go."

"." Connor looked at Dumbledore seriously, and didn't know whether he was telling the truth or nonsense. You brothers haven't seen each other for decades, shouldn't you be "warm" for a while?Connor was mentally prepared to sleep on the street tonight, but he left after half a day?Connor really can't understand
"What goal have we achieved? Why don't I know." Connor scratched his head, didn't it? The three of them talked about ideals, talked about life, and bragged 13?How did you achieve your goal?
Dumbledore said with a smile: "You have obtained Gellert's approval, then our goal has been achieved."

"Huh?" Connor wondered directly, "What do you mean?"

"Hehehe, Gellert doesn't just represent himself. There are actually many supporters standing behind him. His influence in the European and North American magic circles is very large. He was imprisoned in Nurmengard. But no one was guarding him, but the wand was confiscated, not only because of his strength, but also the result of a compromise between the supporters behind him and the Ministry of Magic."

(Honey voice: I always feel like I will be slapped in the face after Fantastic Beasts 345 comes out...(3[▓▓])

Dumbledore smiled and said to Connor: "If you are recognized by him, it is equivalent to being recognized by the supporters behind him. In the future, your Lake family's activities in various countries will go much smoother, and you will also benefit from the Ministry of Magic. With the support of another faction in the Ministry, there will be more people in the Ministry to speak for you, and these benefits are foreseeable."

Connor's eyes lit up suddenly. He didn't expect that he would be able to deceive so much support by just drawing a big cake casually. Sure enough, those who make big things are used to bragging. Ma sincerely does not deceive me
That's right, Connor is drawing big cakes. He only describes a bright future, but he doesn't describe the difficulties that need to be overcome to realize this possible future
There are too many problems to be solved if the future Connor describes is to be truly realized.

Although the future described by Connor seems to be very beautiful, not all wizards are willing to accept this kind of future. If Connor's plan is to be truly implemented, the resistance he will encounter in this step from the wizarding world to the Muggle world will be Surprisingly large.
And if you want to make changes, you must obtain the consent of the majority of wizards. Not to mention the entire wizarding world, it is not so easy to unify opinions within the UK alone...

So Dumbledore's "Ministry of Magic Collapse Plan" may still be implemented...

The reform steps may take from the UK to Europe to the entire wizarding world and then to the Muggle world. This is far from being successful in a few years, and it will inevitably be a long-term process.
Whether Dumbledore and Grindelwald can live to that day is another matter.

However, even if he could not see the possibility of his "dream" being realized in his lifetime, Grindelwald was still very excited. He just followed Connor's way, because he did see the possibility of success.

The "big picture" that Connor showed them gave them hope for the future of wizards. The future Connor described was the brightest future they could imagine for the group of wizards, so Grindelwald admitted Connor, And willing to help him.

However, all the gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

It's also predictable that Conor will eventually pay the price for his bragging rights.

Connor didn't know that he was dying, and he didn't realize that he was dying many times.

Like now...

"Professor Dumbledore, why don't you stay with Mr. Grindelwald for a while? You are very good friends, right?"

"." The air seemed to froze all of a sudden, the smile on Dumbledore's face gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Connor knew that he had stepped on a thunder, and he didn't dare to speak for a while.

The two were silent all the way, and Dumbledore took Connor out of Diagon Alley, and then took him on the streets of London to Apparate to a strange forest.

Connor was still relieving the discomfort of moving in space, but Dumbledore on the other side suddenly spoke. He said:
"We used to be really good friends. But after that incident. I never dare to be alone with him face to face again."

"." Connor didn't dare to speak.

"Back then... I thought that I would start a great career with him, and decided to leave with him... But, when I took my sister, Ariana, to leave with him..." Deng Bullido began to look back on the past:
"My brother, Aberforth came back, he stopped us, he didn't allow me to take Ariana away, the three of us had an argument, the three of us broke out into a fight..."

Dumbledore closed his eyes: "Then...my poor sister...Arianna...she was...killed in the melee..."

Connor staggered, and said unconsciously, "Did Grindelwald do it?"

"..." Dumbledore was silent, and it took a long time before he opened his eyes and said, "I don't know...I don't know...that's why I dare not see him...I'm afraid of the truth, child, I'm not who you imagined I am a brave person, sometimes, I am far more cowardly than ordinary people..."

Dumbledore collapsed, shaking his head and muttering:
"Connor Gellert is a dangerous wizard. There is no doubt about it. His research on black magic is second to none. He was once lost in the pursuit of power. The more talented a wizard The easier it is to go astray, I hope you can learn from it.”

Dumbledore was very depressed.

This kind of silence lasted for a long time. After walking in the forest for a long time, Connor asked, "We are going to find Mr. Nicolas, right? Where are we?"

"Huh? This is Devonshire, I thought you could recognize it."

Is the "er" actually near your home?Connor scratched his head: "I don't usually go out, so of course I don't recognize him. Wait, Mr. Nicole May is in Devonshire?"

"Yes, he has been living in seclusion here, but it will take me a while to find him. I'm afraid we will sleep in the wild tonight."

"Huh???" In the end, he still had to sleep in the open?So my mental preparation was not in vain?No. I don't want to sleep in the wild with this bad old man! ! !

"Professor, how about staying at my house tonight? My house is quite big"
