A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 717 The Awakening of Memory
After separating from Hermione, Felix returned to the office, and turned around to appear in classroom seven again.

The space of classroom No. [-] seems to be expanded again, thinking and reality meet here, maybe a few steps of normal walking distance in this place will become a street, a beautiful garden... Felix deviates from the place that students usually use in class A small path, passing through layers of fog, a simple small village emerged in front of my eyes.

Felix stood in front of an ordinary small house and knocked on the door.

It was Grindelwald's memory that opened the door. To Felix's surprise, what he saw in front of him was not the image of a young man, but Grindelwald's face when he was old, but it looked different when he looked closely.

"I knew you were coming, so I met you with this face. I have been waiting for you." The old man grinned and said with a smile.He was wearing a purple dressing gown, his expression was calm and composed, without the slightest trace of hostility.

The two sat down opposite each other. "Do you have something to say to me?" Felix asked, and then gave the old man a curious look. "Are you whole now? I mean, your memory—"

"Of course, of course," Grindelwald said, "I'm more whole than ever in the moment I'm talking to you. You know what? After a while, I'm actually not very happy with this place."

"why?"

"One reason is: it's too boring. There are only two memories in the entire space that have the characteristics of life, which is equivalent to half a living person." Grindelwald said.This surprised Felix, because although the memory seems to be still alive, their way of existence is very different from that of real people, such as the perception of time.

"Your performance also surprised me. It looks no different from ordinary people." Felix looked at Grindelwald's memory with probing eyes and said. The other party smiled and did not speak.

"Except for the first reason? You said you were waiting for me, so it has something to do with me?"

Grindelwald nodded slightly, then shook his head slowly.

"I did think so at the beginning. After the funeral, I decided to leave the necessary information. The two parties were open and honest, but you never came... Later, those ghosts told me what you did during this time, and I felt it was unnecessary. Saying so, you got exactly what I meant."

"Then today—"

"It's kind of a farewell. Or, you want to hear me tell a story? You know, I met them and they don't remember me. It's a strange feeling. It's like going back in time and starting all over again, but only I remember what really happened. My memory becomes a burden."

"Do you mean Dumbledore, or his sister Ariana and nephew Credence?"

"Aurelius," Grindelwald said slowly, "I prefer to call him that. That kid has helped me a lot."

Felix pretended to be listening.

"Aurelius Dumbledore," said Grindelwald, "I vividly remember ... exactly 70 years ago. During the underground assembly at Père Lachaise Cemetery, which I orchestrated, he chose to join the My team. You can't imagine how much I value him."

"Because of his parentage?" Felix asked.
Credence is Dumbledore's nephew, but neither Dumbledore nor Aberforth knew of his existence for a long time. It can be said that it was a huge secret at the time, and Grindelwald knew absolutely It took a lot of work.

"It's not just for this reason, he is still a silent person, a silent person who has lived to adulthood. His potential is unimaginable. When he has never received a systematic magic education, he has surpassed ninety-nine percent of wizards just by instinct—— I had intended for him to succeed me."

Felix was surprised by this statement. He looked at Grindelwald. There was no need for Grindelwald to lie. Felix sorted out many scattered threads along this line of thought.

Grindelwald's biggest obstacle at the time was Dumbledore. Even if there was a blood alliance between the two, as long as Grindelwald did not give up his dream of ruling wizards and Muggles, they would definitely go to confrontation, and the whole world would force them to do so Do.

In the end, it proved that even the most unbreakable blood alliance was broken.

"I won't wait for Dumbledore to come to me, but to take the first step. My plan is to cultivate wizards who can compete with Dumbledore." Grindelwald said slowly.

"Cultivating an archmage? This idea is too bold." Felix slowed his breathing. He put himself in Grindelwald's position at the time, and felt that this plan was extremely difficult.

"It's a little whimsical, but I finally found a way—maybe even the only way, Obscure."

Felix was stunned.Grindelwald knew that the obscurant could live past the age of ten. The evidence was Dumbledore's sister Arianna. Perhaps his idea at the beginning was to find a young obscurant, take good care of him, and help him subdue his dark magic power ——Silently, but he didn't expect to accidentally harvest the Dumbledore family's wandering child, Credence.

"A child whose potential is comparable to that of the Archmage and who restrains Dumbledore emotionally fits my requirements perfectly." Grindelwald's memory said slowly, as if he was sitting in front of Felix, chatting with him calmly Looking at past plans, chatting about unknown secrets.

"That rally also allowed me to catch a loophole in the Ministry of Magic. An Auror killed ordinary people who came to listen to my speech. It gave me a perfect excuse. It wasn't that I was looking for violence. Since then, The Saints have launched an all-out confrontation with the existing order of the Ministry of Magic."

"My power expanded rapidly. Among them, Aurelius and a woman who can read minds played a huge role. While accepting my teachings, the former appeared in various parts of the world and defeated the Aurors of various countries; the latter The author——I remember her name is Queenie, she used her innate talent to see through a large number of eyeliners who came in, and her ability was silent and could be maintained forever."

"Everything is going in a good direction." Grindelwald said calmly.But Felix knew that he was about to enter a turning point, and sure enough——

"I have been hiding the secret of Aurelius' life experience, using it as a trump card, and preparing to use it at critical moments. But several accidents occurred one after another. On the one hand, the phoenix beside him appeared on the battlefield following him, becoming Become famous. A phoenix—” Grindelwald tsk, “There is a legend in the Dumbledore family that when members are in urgent need, the phoenix will appear. It may be this reason that attracted Dumbledore Lido's skepticism; I had to cut back on his outings."

"The good times didn't last long. Something happened to his body, and his abilities became extremely unstable. I tried some solutions, but I could only watch his body collapse. Maybe this is the fate of the Obscure... I am very sorry for that." Disappointed, I believe he realized this himself, he offered to assassinate Dumbledore, but I refused, he is no match for Dumbledore now. Later... Then his little girlfriend came over, she was a A blood curse orc, when the two met again, her problem was also very serious, and she looked like a snake for most of the day. They stayed together all day until one day, Aurelius disappeared After a while, when I came back empty-handed..."

"That woman's name is Nagini?" Felix asked.

"You know her too?"

"I know, and even met her once, but in the form of a snake. I think Aurelius set him free."

"Release?" Grindelwald repeated in a low voice, "I thought she was dead."

"Remember the mind-reading woman I mentioned? She had problems too - oh, not her sister who was trying so hard to get her back, but something else - she had a Muggle... Lover, I hope that the two will stand together in public, but after so long and still no hope, her position began to waver. I noticed her slack, especially in the most important task - to Aurelius There was something hidden about the assessment of the mental state. When I realized this, I knew that the original plan was not suitable, and I had to step up."

"I decided to run for the president of the International Federation of Wizards that year. In fact, no matter what the result is, I am ready to launch a war against Muggles, but there are still many people who oppose me at that time, and I hope they can join my camp."

"I found the clue of the unicorn, its unique magic can increase my chances of winning the campaign, so I sent many teams to find it, and finally Aurelius brought it back. I made the newborn unicorn I got a puppet, and saw a part of the future with its blood... saw Dumbledore, after I warned him. At that time, I had a hunch, even though I gave him the token of the blood alliance for several years, he did not find the crack way, but I do have a bad feeling."

"It turned out exactly as I expected. I was elected president of the International Confederation of Wizards with a dead unicorn, but the trick fell through when Newt Scamander brought another unicorn, which was a twin. ...all of this is Dumbledore's handiwork, but he doesn't know what he's done, it's not I who want to create a division, but he is creating a division. At that moment I finally made up my mind, I pulled out my wand, Aurelius blocked in front of……"

Grindelwald's eyes blurred.

"Everything happened again like yesterday. Me, Dumbledore, and his brother, the three of us shot at the same time, and there was a silent man standing next to him who couldn't resist, but the result was completely different. Aberforth was irrelevant. Me and Dumbledore's spells joined together, and the chains around his hands finally broke."

"I had a brief fight with Dumbledore, which was the first time we had hands in hands in more than [-] years. When my hand touched his heart, I could feel his heartbeat, but I could no longer feel his heart. The idea. This means that the oath of the blood alliance has been completely lifted."

"The plan was forced to be suspended, and I couldn't care about fighting the Muggles for the time being. Dumbledore stood in the way, even though it was the closest I got to success."

"So the Clan broke because—" Felix asked.

"I don't know either. It was an accident."

"It can't be because of love, can it?"

"Oh, maybe. The blood alliance is guided by blood, but it needs a strong emotion to solidify the magic into shape. We have been bound by this emotion for decades, and we can't get rid of it by trying all means. The only thing that makes sense, Perhaps it was then that Dumbledore transcended the limits of individual emotion with a greater love."

Grindelwald's memory stood up and walked to the door.

"Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked suddenly.

"Maybe because, after today, these will become permanent secrets."

From the body of Grindelwald's memory, silver light spots began to radiate outward, and then his face changed a little bit, becoming younger, his back was straightened again, and his hair was dyed a brilliant golden color. When the eyes are open, the pupils are clear blue.

As he said at the beginning, the memory of the past has become a burden. If you want to start again, you must let go of unnecessary things.

……

When the students went downstairs the next day, they found a white and cold mist filling the courtyard.When the three of Harry passed the notice board in the foyer, they saw a group of people pointing at the bottom. Judging from the expressions on their faces, the notice was a good thing.

"Let's go and have a look," said Ron.

"No need," Harry said, "I know what's on it. If nothing else, it should say the first Hogsmeade weekend arrangement."

Ron whistled softly.

"That's great. I heard that Hogsmeade has opened several new shops, so I must go and have a look." He said, "But how did you know?"

"I think," said Harry, smiling, "it's probably because I put it on with my own hands."

"Ron," Hermione said kindly, "if you look carefully, you will find that the handwriting on the notice is very similar to the papers you usually use for 'reference'."

Although he knew it in advance, Harry was still looking forward to the short trip three days later. He simply wanted to go out and relax and clear his mind, even if it was just to have a drink with Ginny at the Three Broomsticks and spend two or three pleasant hours.

"Hey, Harry," said Hermione, "you can take this opportunity to meet Mr. Dodger, didn't you say you wanted to talk to him face to face?"

Harry stared, and after a while he muttered, "I'll write to him."

"Why don't you get a sound mirror?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Mr. Doge is not used to it," said Harry. "He thinks writing letters will help him clear his mind."

At this time Neville came towards them, his face was flushed, and his figure seemed to be wider than usual, whether it was from the cold or wearing too much clothes.They went to the auditorium to eat together.

Around the same time, Felix showed up at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Horace Greenstinch, president of the Magical Congress of America, made an appearance a short time later.When they parted, the expressions on the faces of the other two were particularly dignified.

"I will let the Aurors let go of everything at hand," Horace Greenstinch said in a deep voice, "The investigation will be conducted in secret and will not affect the upcoming General Assembly."

The principal of the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also said: "If there are really little wizards who fall into the hands of the authorities, the most cost-effective way is not to imprison them or do various experiments, but to let them grow up—whether it is to crack The secret of magic, or cultivating a wizard force of their own, is better than simply being imprisoned. What's more, they can use their status as wizards to spy on all kinds of information..."

They chatted for a while, and then Felix appeared at the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, waiting for the meeting that was to be held in the afternoon.He had a vague idea in his mind. Grindelwald's words made him realize that he had also in fact created a split in wizards as a whole. Some problems got easier - but there was no doubt that the two forces would eventually have to come together again.

"Need a suitable opportunity..."

　Felix and Grindelwald must meet each other, but the meeting in reality did not meet expectations, so they were changed to classroom [-]; also out of resentment for the movie, I combined the plot of the third movie I modified and modified my own ideas and inserted them into the book.I've always wanted to do this, but never had the opportunity before.
