Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle.

"Teacher, I have a question." Neville whispered.

"Raise your head." Grindelwald stared at him: "Do you want everyone who faces you to look at the top of their head and talk?"

"I'm sorry."

Grindelwald was a little unhappy: "My bones are very hard, but this posture is really too soft."

As he said this, he thought of Harry Potter, Moon's student.

Strong body, good posture, clean clothes.

They can't change a person - but they can improve it!

“Starting today, I want you to spend five minutes every night before going to bed thinking about what you are going to wear tomorrow.

Also from today on, I need you to raise your head and refrain from hesitating when speaking, no matter who you are facing.

From today on, in addition to morning exercises with them every morning, you also need more physical exercises to give yourself a good body and a solid foundation for your spirit.

I don't care if you find this stuff beneficial, but I want you to do it. "

"Ah okay, teacher!"

"Don't talk in front of, um, this, that!" Grindelwald said unhappily.

"Sorry! Teacher!"

"Okay, what do you want to ask?" Seeing this, Grindelwald changed the topic.

"Where is the Barty Crouch II who the newspaper said escaped?"

Grindelwald wanted to tell Neville about this, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the initiative to ask questions at this time.

Thinking about it, he asked with interest: "Why do you want to know this?"

"I don't want to see guys like this wandering around anymore," Neville said. "Besides, I'm worried about my parents. They are in St. Mungo's Hospital."

"You should know that after he escaped, your Aurors arranged for people to protect them."

"It's impossible to protect him all the time!" Neville said with certainty. He would never have used such a positive tone before.

"As long as he is outside, I can't let go. It's okay if I don't know about it, but if I know it, I can't help but care about it!"

"How did you know?" Grindelwald looked at Neville curiously: "Moon Jones sent instructions to the Daily Prophet and told them not to report this matter."

"Huh?" Neville was surprised now.

"Professor Jones, did he tell the newspaper not to report on my parents while reporting on Barty Crouch II?"

"That's right, at least that's the case according to the information I got." Grindelwald said somewhat unhappily.

This information was told to him by Dumbledore through letters.

Now the two have been exchanging letters from time to time.

What displeased him was that Dumbledore actually turned a blind eye to Moon's manipulation of power.

Thinking of this, he felt a little bit sour.

Even if he knew what kind of person Moon Jones was, he also knew that the other party's purpose was not to unify the magic world.

But it's just a little bit unpleasant.

"It's the Cruciatus Curse. Through this curse, I recalled that bad, hidden memory!" Neville said quickly.

"Okay." Grindelwald nodded: "So your idea is to protect your parents, and your grandma?"

"Yes."

Grindelwald looked at him up and down in surprise.

"Don't you have even a little bit of desire for revenge?"

"That's too far away for me." Neville shook his head seriously: "I said in Professor Jones's class that I will give priority to and care for those who are still alive!"

"It seems that you think you have the ability to protect?"

"I just want to try." Neville almost lowered his head.

He felt that his idea was a bit stupid and arrogant, and he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.

But he really couldn't help but care about this matter.

"I said, protection is more difficult than a duel, more difficult than killing someone. Dumbledore can't protect every important person, and it's difficult for me and us to do it." Grindelwald said gloomily. smiled.

"So, if you want to protect someone, the best choice is to decisively and simply deal with the danger or the person who brings the danger.

This is not an absolutely correct rule. For example, the most typical example is that Dumbledore does not believe in such a rule. Perhaps in his view, this is just fighting violence with violence. "Grindelwald said.

Dumbledore's suffering is related to many things, the most inseparable of which, apart from their quarrel in Godric's Hollow, is - Muggles!

Child violence exercised by Muggle children led to Ariana's tragedy.

He asked himself, if he had experienced something like Dumbledore, it would be impossible for him to care so much about those Muggle children.

Perhaps this moral code is one of his sources of strength.

"Is this so?" Neville fell into deep thought, looking for the meaning of [protection] from Grindelwald's words, from Principal Dumbledore, and from the flashing red light in his mind.

“Use it and you may encounter various moral dilemmas one day.

But what I can tell you is that this is the simplest and most effective rule! "

Neville was shocked when he heard this and looked at his teacher in disbelief.

"Potter broke into Azkaban last year, and now you have to deal with one of the escaped prisoners!" As he said, he looked directly at the other person: "Is it difficult?"

"I-I don't know if I can-"

"Change your tone."

"I-" Neville felt his breath hitch for a moment.

There were no uncertainties. What was immediately placed in front of him were two affirmative answers, answers with no turning back.

'Can I do it, or can't I? '

After a moment, he looked up.

"it is good!"

"What you say is what you pour out." Grindelwald nodded: "Then let's get started. Next, learn how to kill a person!"

In the afternoon, Professor McGonagall, who knew everything, came to Dumbledore's office with the form.

"Albus!" She stepped into it, her face pale: "I really didn't expect that there is such an existence in the magical world. This is simply sensational!"

"In Mu En's words, this is caused by the excessive isolation between the world of ordinary people and the world of magic.

Although there is only a wall separating Diagon Alley and London, the two worlds are as distinct as two parallel lines that never intersect.

So when someone crosses the line, it is difficult for us to detect it immediately.

There are not many children in the wizarding world, and one less child may alarm the entire UK. But the Muggle world is not, and their police and people do not understand our methods, which also leads to the probability of these children being saved to be almost zero.

If it weren't for the fact that Neville accidentally wandered into Knockturn Alley during class time at Hogwarts today, making the traffickers think he might be a waif in the wizarding world, we wouldn't even know that such dehumanizing things are happening in the corners of the wizarding world. , happened amidst the laughter and laughter in Diagon Alley.
