A Hogwarts dissertation guide

Later that day, a special investigation team called the Ministry of Magic was formally established, including but not limited to all officials from the Auror Office, and almost everyone with combat capabilities was included in this team.

Of course, there are also quite a few retired Aurors like Alastor Moody, but when they heard that the Ministry of Magic needed their power, they stepped forward one after another.

It only took Moody two hours to sit up from the hospital bed in Saint-German. It didn't look like he was injured at all. After all, Riddle didn't hit him with any more wounds.

Just a deep doubt lingering in his mind, who is that young man?Why do you want to appear in the Ministry of Magic under the name of Voldemort?And how did he summon the Death Eaters?

Isn't it only Voldemort who has such ability?

But these questions obviously could not be answered in the Ministry of Magic, so almost as soon as he got up from the hospital bed, he immediately pulled out a piece of parchment and started writing on the table.

He wrote everything that happened today in the letter, and at the same time asked the owl to deliver the letter to Hogwarts. He made up his mind to tell Dumbledore all about it.

Obviously, his trust in Dumbledore is far greater than that of Cornelius Fudge.

After all, Cornelius Fudge is not a trustworthy person. He is always addicted to power.

And this made Moody look down on him.

But why did Dumbledore never show up despite such a big fuss today?

Because Dumbledore went to Nurmengard early this morning to visit his old friend Gellert Grindelwald.

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 towering wall surrounds the castle, blocking most people from the possibility of climbing over.

Nurmengard Castle is a tower that is cold, dark, and far away from human habitation. It is cast with an anti-Apparition spell. Even Dumbledore had to walk through the entrance to enter. Above the entrance is engraved Grindelwald's famous saying: " For the greater good”.

When Dumbledore saw that famous quote, he burst out laughing. He patted his trouser legs and shook his head slightly.

"Gellert, I haven't been here for several years." Dumbledore stood up straight and raised his hand to wipe the dust off the famous quote on the entrance.

"This place has been completely abandoned...it seems they have decided that you will never come out again...hehe...that's fine, that's fine..."

Dumbledore seemed to be mumbling to himself, and the movements of his hands were slow and unhurried, as if he was planning to clean up the place before entering the tower.

Finally, when Dumbledore was about to pass the entrance, the sun was already slanting in the sky.

He walked towards this huge building with slightly heavy steps, and climbed up the stairs step by step until he reached the top of the tower.

After decades, the entire castle has long lost its former grandeur.

Of course, even back then, this was just a cage used by Grindelwald to imprison those who resisted him.

The floor of the hall was covered with a thick layer of dust. The original pattern of the floor could no longer be seen. The corners were covered with cobwebs. The lower floors were invaded by the cold wind. The colored glazed glass originally used to block the wind had long since disappeared. .

There was silence, which was as it should be, since the only prisoner here was Gellert Grindelwald.

Ironically, Nurmengard was originally a prison built by Grindelwald to imprison opponents when he came to power, but he was not executed after his defeat, but was instead imprisoned in the topmost cell of the prison he built himself.

Dumbledore's footsteps stopped in front of a very narrow wooden door - even wooden doors looked down upon it, but it could only be regarded as a broken wooden board, placed there casually to serve as a door.

There is no magic protection or any magic pattern array on it. It can be opened with just a gentle push.

Nurmengard only imprisoned Grindelwald who wanted to be imprisoned. No prison could imprison Grindelwald unless he wanted to - and at the moment, he obviously had no intention of leaving.

The wooden board was gently moved aside by Dumbledore without making any sound, and an old voice came from the room.

"Albus, are you here? I thought I would never see you again before I die." Grindelwald's voice sounded extremely weak. He coughed as he spoke, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs. .

Dumbledore looked at his old friend lying on the bed, and all kinds of emotions rushed to his nose.

Grindelwald struggled to sit up from the cold bed and leaned against the cold wall. His eyes did not look at Dumbledore at the door, but looked into the distance through the extremely narrow gap in the black stone.

He seemed to deliberately not want Dumbledore to see the look in his eyes.

After a while, Grindelwald slowly spoke.

"Why did you suddenly think of me? I thought you were still with your 'friends', celebrating your defeat of the great devil Grindelwald." He laughed dryly, "Why don't you see your Newt?" Woolen cloth?"

"It's been so many years, can't you let go of what happened back then?" Dumbledore took a deep look at Grindelwald, who was sitting in the corner in ragged clothes. He was almost as thin as a skeleton. If not, he would still be able to speak. Speaking, Dumbledore almost thought he was dead.

Almost no one would believe that the scrawny old wizard in front of them was Gellert Grindelwald, who once fascinated half of the wizarding world. He almost looked like a skeleton, with his eyes sunk deep in his eye sockets and almost all his teeth.

"Didn't anyone bring you food?" Dumbledore looked around. From the moment he stepped into Nurmengard, he could feel that no one had been here for a long time, whether it was the dust at the entrance or the creaking of the tower. Loud mice.

"No, it's long gone." Grindelwald shook his head and sneered, his eyes moving to Dumbledore from a distance, "You're not here to care about my situation here, are you?"

"Of course it's not that simple," Dumbledore said. "In fact, I want to talk to you. I'm starting to have doubts about something."

"What are you doubting? Doubting that you shouldn't have defeated me in the first place?" Grindelwald looked disdainful, but he changed his posture so that he could have a better conversation with Dumbledore.

"I began to question whether I had made the right decision, and whether I was getting old." Dumbledore shrugged and sat directly next to Grindelwald, so that they were closer.

"Oh?"
