Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 120 The Old Bee's Deception
Ever since Headmaster Dumbledore remembered that the Order of the Phoenix he founded had been taken over by a certain god, he was not angry at all.Every time I want to think of a way to rectify it, but it seems to be useless every time. As the saying goes, the persimmons should be picked softly, not big ones, but small ones.Dumbledore originally planned to throw Hilbert directly to Azkaban or Malfoy Manor to practice and practice, but if some god knew about it, he and the whole Hogwarts would have to go to see Merlin.So Principal Dumbledore thought hard and came up with a "malicious but safe" place, and he decided to let Hilbert go with him to visit his old friend who hadn't seen him for 50 years.

On the second day after the summer vacation, Taoist Lingxu went to Daphne's home - Greengrass Manor.Said to develop new drugs.Needing Daphne's help, Hilbert was writing summer homework with his younger sister Aleena Lina. At this time, a crackling sound caught his attention, and raising his wand was an attack.

"Huh? Professor Dumbledore, why are you?"

The old man raised his head and glanced at the classmate in front of him, a boy with silver-white hair and light golden pupils.If you didn't know, you would think he was a Veela.

"Ahem. It's nothing, it's just that the time is up."

"I'm going abroad for a visit. I can take a student with me. I think you can do it. Have you read all the letters that Professor Lingxu sent you?"

"I see, I have everything ready, should I go now? Why are you in such a hurry!"

"Austria. Of course, this time it may take at least a month. I think, in this case, bring a few more sets of clothes, personal belongings, crucibles and balances... Of course, some textbooks must also be brought. Listen You won't be ashamed of Hogwarts by saying there's still a match there?"

"will not."

Dumbledore smiled easily, tapped the letter paper in his hand with his index finger, and began to count various items in a low voice. From what the old man said, it seemed that Mr. Hilbert would at least spend some time in that place.

Looking at the harmless smile on Dumbledore's face, Hilbert couldn't find anything wrong. Isn't the principal always like this?

"How do we get to Austria, the Muggle plane, or by the way?"

"No, it's busy this time, Fox will take us there. You go to Hogwarts with me first."

click.

The door of the principal's office, which had been closed not long ago, opened again.

The vigilant Fox yelled happily at him twice when he saw that it was Dumbledore.Hilbert leaned in from the door, with an awkward but polite smile on his face, glanced at the big beautiful crimson bird on the old man's shoulder, and waved his hand friendly, "Hi, Fox, very happy See you again."

"Wait, let me have some lemon candy first, eh? What are you doing? Stop..." Hilbert pulled out the wand from his waist and shouted, "The Hogwarts title deed is coming!"

As the heir to the estate of Salazar Slytherin, Hilbert must get back the legacy that belongs to Salazar-the Hogwarts title deed, Salazar's wand (now hidden in Ilvermorny, USA.)
I saw a roll of ancient parchment flying from behind the portraits of the principals, and the frame of Principal Phineas Black's picture fell down with a bang, just like dominoes, all the portraits of the principals fell down. Burt heard Phineas roaring in his ears.

"I'm going to fire you! In my day, I must fire you."

"Okay, restore it!" Hilbert rolled up the parchment on the ground and put it in his arms, and said to Principal Dumbledore, "Let's go, Principal?"

"..." Dumbledore felt that he was powerless now, and he couldn't control the one in front of him.

Fox let out a melodious cry, turned into a golden-red flame without hesitation, and disappeared into the office with the old and the young.

Austria, Nurmengard Castle.

Surrounded by layers of snow-capped mountains, a stern, dark castle, far away from people, stands on the cliff, and an extra-high tower is built near the cliff.

A circle of towering walls surrounds the castle, blocking the possibility of most people wanting to climb in. "Like Hogwarts, Nurmengard Castle is surrounded by magic that prevents disapparation, so from here we'll have to enter on foot."

"Keep warm and protect yourself." Hilbert waved his wand, and a warm air flow surrounded Dumbledore and Hilbert.

Although it is summer vacation, it is still as cold as winter on this snow mountain, which is still relatively light compared to Durmstrang School where Krum is located.

"I said, doesn't the Austrian Ministry of Magic arrange for someone to pick us up?"

"You'll know when it arrives."

Judging from the rough trails covered with weeds and obvious signs of rain erosion, this place seems to have been abandoned for a long time.The doubts in Hilbert's stomach became more and more serious.

"Ah, it's here—" Dumbledore suddenly stopped about ten meters away from the castle, and pointed to the castle in front of him.

A complicated look flashed in Dumbledore's eyes, he raised his wand, and drew a complicated trajectory in the air. The entrance to the castle, which seemed to be more than ten meters away before, quickly became larger, and appeared in two places almost instantly. in front of people.

Just above the entrance to the gates of Nurmengard Castle is engraved a line of Grindelwald's famous words: "For the greater good".

"For the greater good, I know that. Gellert Grindelwald said it. Wait... Grindelwald? Headmaster! Is this Nurmengard Castle?"

Ignoring Hilbert's flustered look, Dumbledore grabbed Hilbert's collar and entered the gate. After decades of dark imprisonment, the entire castle has long since lost its former luxury and splendor. momentum.

The floor of the hall was covered with a thick layer of dust, and the original floor tile pattern underneath could no longer be seen clearly. The corners were covered with cobwebs and moss, and the floor-to-ceiling windows that were once covered with stained glass became gray and had a large hole in them. wreckage.The bronze carved chandelier hanging on the roof has not been lit for a long time. Hilbert can only see the huge dirty dining table in the center of the hall through the faint light, and the solid wood with its decorations removed. A high-backed chair, barely imagining Grindelwald's incomparable aura that swept the entire magic world back then.It is hard to imagine that this was the castle of the first Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald. Dumbledore looked around the dilapidated scene with a complicated expression. The stone steps of the iconic outer tower all the way up.Finally, they came to a dilapidated wooden door. There was no lock or any magical protection on the door, and it could be opened with a slight push. This is the prison cell that the most powerful dark wizard ever created for himself .

"Stand here, don't move around, I will go back as soon as I go. Be careful, there are magic circles everywhere here, if you are not careful, you will be smashed to pieces."

"I believe you old man!"

The half-hidden wooden door opened quietly, and an old voice came from behind the door.

"Albus, you finally came to see me." The room is not spacious, and the only light source comes from the skylight above, a faint light is sprinkled from the window, and fine dust is flying in the narrow and long beam of light.

The owner of the castle, Gellert Grindelwald, was leaning against the cold wall at this time, his eyes were not looking at the door, but staring at the high skylight, making it difficult to see the expression in his eyes.

"After so many years, we are all old. You know, I am over 110 years old this year."

Dumbledore shrugged, admitted generously, and took a deep look at the ragged Grindelwald sitting in the corner.Years of self-imprisonment have made Gellert Grindelwald very weak.

The old wizard's thin, shriveled body was like a skeleton, and his face began to look like a skeleton, his eyes were sunken in their sockets, and his teeth were almost gone.

Few people would believe that the scrawny old wizard in front of him was the leader who was once almost fascinated by half of the European magic world, both men and women, Gellert Grindelwald.

(Whisper a word, long live Grindelwald≧▽≦!)
"Aging is not terrible. What is terrible is that the things I predicted back then are gradually becoming reality. You should also be aware that the Ministry of Magic is becoming more and more weak and incompetent. In our era, like this There will be no farce and compromise." Grindelwald shook his head, let out a sneer, and moved his gaze from the high skylight to Dumbledore.

"Now, Gellert, I have something to ask of you."

"Hey, this is the great wizard Albus Dumbledore? Have you started to ask for help? I still remember the first time you and I met"

"Gellert! Let's talk about the previous words when you have time. I'll bring you a student."

"I do not need!"

"The thing I hate most in this world is children. The second thing I hate is teaching those mediocre people. The third thing I hate is repeatedly refusing one thing. Unfortunately, the request you made before takes all the above situations into account. gone."

"He looks just like you!"

"?!!"

"I mean, he does have the shadow of you back then."

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, drew out his wand and tapped it lightly. A layer of magical light flashed in the dim room, and an invisible sound-proof barrier bound the sound in the room.

"tell me the story."

"Hilbert Shafik, that child... I saw your shadow in him, and of course my shadow, and something different from us. If I was just a little skeptical before, I now At least [-]% sure. As long as this child does not die halfway, then she is the future of the wizarding world—whether it is good or bad, I brought the Pensieve, and you can look at my memory."

Dumbledore pulled out his wand and put his memory into the basin, then lifted Gellert up, and Grindelwald stuck his head into the basin. That was the scene of the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.After reading it, Gellert stared at Dumbledore suspiciously.

"How can he know oriental Taoism?"

"His master is a Taoist priest from the East, who taught him some spells. With these alone, he is invincible in Hogwarts."

"It's just luck, that's all."

"In the first grade, he won the head student of Slytherin. A small disarming spell disarmed the wands of three people. After the exam, he indirectly created a large-scale night outing for students to eat hot pot. Another person only The Bone Crushing Curse broke the level set by the professor, won the Academy Cup and used Avada Kedavra. In the second year, he subdued a thousand-year-old basilisk. In the third year, he learned Animagus and the Patronus Curse. In the fourth year Instigated infighting among the four major colleges. All the students in the seventh grade participated in the battle. He won the Goblet of Fire and faced Voldemort by himself. He is a Slytherin! In the fifth year, he improved his wand and won the Merlin Second Class Medal. They fought against the Ministry of Magic, formed a training group behind the professors' backs, and killed several Death Eaters. Do you think such a student is scary?"

"This is the student I've been looking for!"

"What? What did you say, Gellert?"

"I will teach this student!"

Gellert's eyes gradually brightened.My thoughts seemed to return to Godric's Hollow many years ago, the starting point where two wizards with the same ideals and aspirations worked together for the great goal of the future.

"So, I beg you, teach this child, teach him all your knowledge, let him grow into someone who can succeed us, (the most important thing is to keep my ears clean for a few days, and live for a few more years. This sentence The words are spoken in the heart)"

"Well, what you're saying seems to make sense. Only a month?"

"Every weekend, he comes back during the holidays..."

"Dumbledore! Do you think I'm too old to tell when you're lying? The purpose of this guy is to be free!"

"Gellert..."

"However, I agree! Let him in." Hilbert, who was idle outside the door, began to study the remaining magic circles in Nurmengard Castle, and cracked a few by the way.

"Mr. Gellert Grindelwald attaches great importance to your talent, and hopes to teach you well. It's just that you understand that his arrogant past makes him sometimes unavoidable in terms of expression, um, causing some misunderstandings. Over the years, Gellert has had little communication with anyone else. So..."

"Understood, everything has to go with him, right?"

In other words, according to Taoist Lingxu, Gellert Grindelwald should be renamed Gellert Tsundere Secondary Unsaved Grindelwald.

"Goodbye, Professor Dumbledore! I have seen through your deception a long time ago. In fact, I have long wanted to see His Royal Highness, the original Dark Lord. When you leave, go through the gate, I have cracked the magic circle."

"........."

"Hilbert Shafik has seen His Majesty the First Dark Lord, Gellert Grindelwald!"
