Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

"I don't know, I can't see the right path for myself, but at least so far, my choice should be the right one."

"Sure enough, the prophet can't accurately predict himself?" Grindelwald's expression relaxed, as if this could prove that his prophecy talent was not inferior to Leona's, but that he was restricted by the rules of prophecy.

"Leona, what are you going to do next? After you betrayed me, it is no longer possible to follow me, but the things you did for me before have left my mark on you. Don't expect Dumbledore They will embrace you with open arms," ​​Grindelwald asked teasingly.

"I never expected to be on their side; I never expected them to accept me."

"What a tragedy. Your prospects don't look good. Is this what you hoped for?"

"Boss, I have a request." Leona said suddenly.

"Do you think I'll agree?"

"In the future I foresee, you will not refuse, and there is no reason to refuse."

"I admit that you piqued my interest."

"I wish you would give me the blackthorn wand you once used."

"Is this the future you predicted? I'm surprised why I agreed to it."

"This is a fire, a fire that continues your ideals. I will help you find a new owner for this wand. He may be able to inherit your mantle in the future."

Grindelwald seemed to be shocked by Leona's words for a moment. Could it be that in the future that Leona saw, he or his descendants would one day make a comeback?

Even Dean, who was watching, could see that Grindelwald was moved.

"It's interesting." Grindelwald took out Dean's very familiar blackthorn wand and handed it to Leona. "Take it. Anyway, I already have a unique Elder Wand."

"This wand is no longer of much use to you, but it is definitely a wise choice for you to leave it to me. I call it the Tinder Plan."

"I'm looking forward to what kind of brilliant flame this fire will ignite."

"You will not be disappointed. One day, your heir will appear in front of you holding this magic wand."

"What about you? How can you survive being tolerated by both sides?"

"My precognitive ability tells me that it is best for me to remain anonymous in the Muggle world and wait for the arrival of a new era."

"I hope your prediction is accurate."

……

After another period of trance, Dean found that his consciousness had returned to his body, and Grindelwald was looking at him slightly dissatisfied.

"You actually fell asleep! It seems that you don't care about Leona's story as much as you show."

"I'm sorry, Master. I was wondering where Leona went after he got your blackthorn wand?"

A flash of surprise flashed across Grindelwald's face: "I didn't tell you what happened after he betrayed me, nor did I mention that he took the blackthorn wand from me. How did you know?"

Dean felt a sudden change in his heart. It seemed that the Prokos robe had allowed him to see the past of Grindelwald and Leona just now.

"I am the heir chosen for you by the blackthorn wand. Of course I know something about the wand." Dean explained vaguely.

Grindelwald didn't seem to want to go into details: "I gave the blackthorn wand to Leona and asked him to help me find a suitable heir. After that, I never saw him again, nor did I get any news from him. . He seemed to have disappeared from the world. I didn’t know that he had married a wife and had children, and even had grandchildren. I once suspected that he was dead... Until you appeared in front of me, I didn’t know that he had actually been fulfilling his promise. ."

Dean really wanted to tell Grindelwald that it was not Leona's credit for him to obtain the blackthorn wand and become his successor. Before meeting Grindelwald, he didn't even know that Leona existed.

Dean glanced at the system interface and found that "Side Mission: The Story of Leona Xiao" was still almost unfinished. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious. This was a little different from what he expected. There must be something missing somewhere.

Thinking of this, Dean asked in a strange way: "Teacher, do you know about 'symbiosis'?"

Grindelwald's eyes visibly brightened: "Symbiosis? Symbiosis! Where did you know the term?"

"Well, it seems that's what my biological father, Brian Xiao, is best at..." Dean quickly added, "I heard that."

"That's right." Grindelwald nodded. "I once gave Leona another task, which was to find the secret of 'symbiosis', but there was no progress until he left. It seems that he finally found it. , and passed it on to your father.”

"Symbiosis seems to be very powerful?" Dean was worried. The symbiosis ability that even Grindelwald is attracted to is not as simple as the system described.

"It seems there is still some time, so I will explain it to you in detail." Grindelwald glanced at the wall clock.

"Dean, do you know about Horcruxes?" Grindelwald asked.

"I have heard something. It is said that the second generation Dark Lord is keen on making Horcruxes." Dean said.

"The second generation...Dark Lord...ha~" Grindelwald sneered, his disdain evident in his words.

"As far as I know, a Horcrux refers to an object that hides part of a person's soul. The process of making a Horcrux is to split the soul and hide part of it in an object outside the body. In this way, even if the body is attacked or destroyed, He can't die, because there is still a part of his soul that has not been damaged in this world." Dean said everything he knew in one breath, which was quite showy.

Grindelwald glanced at Dean in surprise, obviously not expecting him to know such detailed information. After a moment, he chuckled: "It seems that my old friend has also changed a lot. A young wizard of your age has also changed a lot. Knowing so much - this teaching philosophy is almost as good as Durmstrang~"

Dean couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was so excited that he was speechless. In fact, even most wizards had never heard of the name Horcrux, let alone the younger wizards at Hogwarts.

Fortunately, Grindelwald would not ask Dumbledore for confirmation, otherwise the secret would have to be revealed.

"Symbiosis is a kind of immortality magic that is more advanced than Horcruxes." Grindelwald explained. "Horcruxes are too evil. To successfully make a Horcrux, you must murder other people as a prerequisite, so that the soul can be split and put into Among Horcruxes, symbiosis is much milder. As far as I know, in ancient times, many wizards learned symbiosis magic and would choose a long-lived magical creature to symbiosis, such as dragons, phoenixes, thunderbirds, etc."

"You just mentioned that you can coexist with thunderbirds?" Dean felt as if he had caught something.

"The vitality of the thunderbird is very powerful. If a wizard can coexist with the thunderbird, not only can he share the other's strong body, but he can even borrow the power of thunder and lightning generated by the thunderbird." Grindelwald said, "I remember your other side. The wand is the Thunderbird wand. If you have learned symbiosis magic, you can try to establish a symbiotic relationship directly with the Thunderbird tail feathers in the wand. In fact, the effect will not be much different - of course, the premise is that the Thunderbird that provided the tail feathers is still alive."

"Teacher, what if the other way around is that when the Thunderbird is on the verge of death, can he survive by establishing a symbiotic relationship with the wizard?" Dean felt that he had found a way to save Frank.

"Of course it's possible in theory, but only if the symbiotic wizard is strong enough..."
