Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

The headquarters of the Free Magical Union is not actually in France. It’s just that Andre met this dark wizard organization in Paris at the beginning, so he always mistakenly thought that France was their base camp. Of course, this was mainly because of the missing Sophie. Ya herself doesn't know where the organization behind her is rooted. After she joined the Free Magic Union, she only operated in France.

In the southwest of the Aegean Sea, there is a small island that cannot be found on Muggle maps. Even if Muggles drive ships passing by, they will never discover that there is such an island under their noses. islands.

Like Hogwarts, this place has been cast a Muggle expulsion spell, and it is also an unplottable location. Without the guidance of insiders, even wizards cannot easily reach this island.

And at the same time that Andre was brought to the United States by Dumbledore, two rare guests came to the island.

If Andre saw them, he would immediately recognize them as Ivan Van Dijk, who tried to kidnap Granger last Christmas in front of his house, and his man named Collinho.

"Mentor, do we really need to ask the union's apprentices to take action?" As he walked towards the center of the island, Collinho asked Ivan somewhat unwillingly.

"There is no way around it," Ivan said with a smile on his face, "I can't enter the United States openly, and other mentors probably don't have the courage, and the apprentices are not within the constraints of the High Table, although they Going to the United States also costs a certain amount of money, but at least it’s much smaller than going by myself, right?”

Collinho said with an annoyed look on his face: "It's all our fault. If we hadn't been unable to deal with the remnant of the Adrian family, there would be no need for you to come here, mentor."

"No," Ivan just shook his head and said, "I underestimated that child too much. I didn't expect that it would be him who killed Cole and the others in Norway. He fused two sacred acorns, even if one of them One of them does not have fusion properties yet, but it is indeed not something that you trainees can deal with. If I had known about this news at that time, I would not have asked you to take action so quickly, so that you would not be attacked by that old man Dumbledore. Caught in front of him, he is now unable to enter the UK."

"We are still too useless..." Collinho sighed.

This time Ivan did not continue to comfort his subordinate. He smiled softly and continued walking forward with Collinho.

Passing through the not-so-dense woods on the edge of the island, what appeared in front of them was a building that looked like a medieval castle. At the gate of the castle, stood a man in black robes, seemingly waiting for Ivan and Ivan. arrival.

"Long time no see, David." After seeing the man in black robe, Ivan was the first to say hello.

But the other party didn't have a good expression: "I heard, Ivan, you actually violated Dumbledore's territory without authorization. Although the old guy didn't complain to the High Table, other mentors in the union were very dissatisfied with this. You You should know that if the High Table issues an order for punishment, you will not be the only one who suffers in the end."

"Sorry, David." Faced with the rebuke from the man in black robe, Ivan slightly restrained the smile that had been on his face. "That's why I made a special trip here to make amends to everyone."

"Haha," the man whom Ivan called David sneered: "Do you think I'm one of those old guys who studied magic and confused their own brains? I don't know who you are. Why don't you reply? The purpose of going to Liberty Island is probably to continue to capture the orphan of the Adrian family. Since you have been captured by Dumbledore, now you can only persuade those old guys to let you send the apprentices on the island. Only then will you be able to achieve your original goal.”

"Oh, I have to say, David, you really understand me." Ivan laughed exaggeratedly and said, "But I believe that as long as I give enough compensation, even you will not reject me. proposed."

David did not refute Ivan's words. He just looked at Collinho who was following Ivan with some disdain, and then said: "You know the rules, trainees are not allowed to enter here. He can only wait outside the castle."

"Of course, of course, Colinho, I think I will be able to come out soon, so..." Ivan nodded, turned around and said.

"Teacher, I know the rules." There was a hint of regret in Colinho's eyes, but he immediately lowered his head obediently and said to his master.

Then Ivan walked into the gate of the castle with David, who was wearing a black robe.

"I heard that the brat from the Adrian family has two fused Holy Acorns in his body, so are you going to take one of them out as a reward for the other mentors this time?" before walking towards the main building of the castle. David asked sideways as he went.

"Of course, you also know that the reason why no other mentor has coveted the Adrian family's sacred acorn is because it was the right that my teacher fought for for me before he died. But the extra one, although It can be regarded as my discovery, but I think those old men in the union will never allow me to monopolize it." Ivan said with a wry smile.

Only then did David show a stingy smile: "It's best if you can figure it out for yourself. You must know that this time you have to face not only a 12-year-old child, but also the principal of Hogwarts. He It’s not something to be trifled with. If you plan to take those two holy acorns for yourself, even if everyone agrees to let you transfer apprentices this time, the price you will pay afterwards will definitely not be offset by a single holy acorn.”

Ivan nodded, and then said: "Actually, this operation will not cause a direct conflict with Dumbledore, because my target, the child of the Adrian family, should have gone to the United States by now."

"The United States?" David frowned: "That's not good news. Although Dumbledore is difficult to deal with, in the end his Order of the Phoenix is ​​just a small organization that deals with Tom Riddle. Although we don't want to fight with him. Enemy, but there is no need to be too afraid of him."

"Yes, but if that child is allowed to fuse with the second Holy Acorn in the United States, he may enter the realm of rules at any time. Then we will not be able to continue to attack him. The High Table will never allow such a thing to happen. , so even in the United States, I have to persuade other mentors to send apprentices to get those two sacred acorns." Ivan's expression did not change much, but his tone was a bit solemn.

David shook his head: "You are too worried. Even if it is two sacred acorns, it is only a 12-year-old child. I don't think he can enter the realm of rules so quickly."

"Of course you have to prepare for the worst when it comes to this kind of thing," Ivan said. "I have been staring at the Adrian family for more than 20 years. You know, since I was just an apprentice."

"Yeah, it's been more than 20 years, and your teachers have passed away, but you still haven't gotten that holy acorn that you should have gotten long ago." David said this with a hint of ridicule.

But Ivan was not angry, he just twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

The two of them did not continue talking and walked into the main building of the castle in silence.

Soon, they appeared in a not-so-wide hall. There was a long table and a total of ten chairs beside the table.

Ivan silently walked to a chair in the corner and sat down, then raised his head and looked at David, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Let's get started," he said.

David nodded, stretched out his right hand that had been hidden in the sleeve of his black robe, and drew a symbol in the void. Then, eight figures suddenly appeared on the other eight vacant chairs, but these figures seemed to be covered by a layer of fog. Shrouded, even if he was sitting right next to them, Ivan still couldn't recognize their appearance.

Of course, he had long been familiar with this situation and didn't find it strange.

"Ivan Van Dijk, the mentor of the French branch of the Free Magical Union, has applied to summon everyone. I think you should have received the summons before this." David, who was sitting in the main seat, spoke first.

"I heard the news," a figure who attacked David said, his voice sounded like that of an old man, "The orphan of the Adrian family was found by Ivan, but it seems that you didn't succeed, not only For him to get the sacred acorn that old Adrian left behind, and even find a second one, is really the funniest joke I've heard this year."

Just as the old man finished speaking, another woman's voice came from across from him: "Not only that, I also heard that our Mr. Van Dijk actually boldly violated the rules of the High Table and went to England to arrest that Edry in person. The children of the Ann family were even blocked by Dumbledore."

"Dear Mr. Sidney, Ms. Mary, and of course everyone here," Ivan's expression did not change in the face of the two men's sarcasm. He stood up, bowed to everyone, and then said : "As for what happened not long ago, I don't think I need to explain too much. You not only know the process and results of the matter, but also understand the reasons why I did it, so I won't go into details here. Today's invitation Everyone is here. On the one hand, I want to compensate you for violating the rules of the High Table. On the other hand, I want to apply for the transfer of apprentices from Freedom Island to help me complete the mission that I have failed before. "

"Haha, forget about the compensation. Since Dumbledore did not report this matter to the High Table, we have no loss. Although your behavior did cross the line, considering my friendship with your teacher, I think it can be I forgive you for this impulse." Sidney, who was the first to speak, said: "But if you want to transfer apprentices, there is no need to discuss this matter. Apprentices are the cornerstone of the Free Magic Union, not the personal property of their mentors. Servant, I remember that you have been a mentor for more than ten years, but you still have not contributed a single apprentice to the union. Now you want to mobilize apprentices from Free Island to help you snatch the sacred acorns, which is unreasonable."

The old man's status seemed to be very high among these mentors. After he finished speaking, no one refuted, but they all nodded silently. Even David, who was sitting at the top, did not speak up for Ivan.

"What if I am willing to use another sacred acorn from that Adrian family child as a reward?" But Ivan obviously would not give up, and he immediately told David his plan before.

This obviously surprised everyone else present, and even Sidney, who had just spoken, fell into deep thought.

"Are you sure?" And Ms. Mary seemed to be unable to resist the temptation. She asked, "You must know that it was your teacher who used all his achievements before his death to gain your respect for the Saint of the Adrian family. The right to possess the acorns, although the one now, um, is called Andre, right, and that Andre has two sacred acorns, but due to the previous agreement, we still will not take action against him, so as long as If you can handle him yourself, then those two sacred acorns will be yours."

"I'm sure, Ms. Mary." Ivan said seriously: "As long as you can agree to let me transfer apprentices, then after getting the two sacred acorns, I will only take the one that originally belonged to me. Let’s go, I’ll give the extra one to the union for disposal.”

This condition obviously moved the hearts of the eight figures whose appearance could not be seen clearly. Soon a figure on the left side of Ms. Mary said: "If this is the case, then I can ask my students to help you. You You know, Eisen Glick, he is the most outstanding apprentice in recent years."

However, his proposal was immediately interrupted by Sidney. The old man said: "Alexander, I know that Glick is your student, but don't forget that once he becomes an apprentice, his ownership belongs to the union, and It doesn’t mean that because you are his teacher, you can assign tasks to him.”

"But there is only one Holy Acorn. Even if we agree to Ivan's conditions, how should we distribute this Holy Acorn?" Alexander seemed a little afraid of Sidney. He did not refute the old man's words, but carefully reminded.

"About this, David, what do you think?" Sidney asked the question to David, who was sitting at the top.

"Of course apprentices belong to the trade union, but we all know that even the trade union cannot sever the teacher-student relationship between apprentices and mentors," David seemed to have considered this issue for a long time. He said, "In this case , then why not let the apprentices start a competition first. Except for Ivan, everyone here has more or less students practicing magic on the island. Each instructor can choose one of his own students. , whoever wins the championship in the next competition can capture the orphan of the Adrian family for Ivan, and his mentor will also get the extra sacred acorn. I don’t know what my proposal is like. ?”

After David finished his idea, everyone started thinking. Ivan knew that these mentors were calculating the strength of his apprentices on the island and whether it was possible to win the championship.
