[HP] Aunt of the Savior

Grindelwald would never have guessed that on his first day at Hogwarts, Dumbledore saw his name on the Marauder's Map.

"Actually, I was quite surprised that you agreed to cooperate with me, Albus." Grindelwald came back to his senses, restrained his emotions, and said casually. "I didn't think you would agree with Jody asking me to cooperate—want to hear my plans? For the greater good."

As he said this, he looked at Dumbledore with anticipation in his eyes that he hadn't even noticed.He hoped that Dumbledore would remember the words he used to say when he was a boy, and would have a slightly different reaction, or be able to give a familiar answer, just like they all remembered the end of the duel What did Dumbledore say.

"...Yes, for the greater good..." Dumbledore repeated softly, the eyes behind the glasses seemed a little elusive.

But Dumbledore's answer disappointed Grindelwald again.From the moment they started talking, Dumbledore's reaction was calmer and calmer than Grindelwald expected.No, it should be said that from the beginning of their conversation, Dumbledore did not show the strong emotional fluctuations he had hoped for.He has tried his best since just now, but he subconsciously avoided a certain topic, knowing that this bottom line is what he, or what they can't touch, is also what he can't directly express of.

But what comforted him a little was that Dumbledore at least took the initiative to ask him a question: "Then why did you choose to stand here, Gellert?"

"Albus, for the greater good, it can also be understood as minimizing possible losses. This is the purpose of my presence here." Grindelwald answered this question slowly but clearly.He still had Professor Victor's face on his face, but when he said this, he looked nothing like Victor. "Together, we can completely defeat Voldemort with minimal sacrifice. Seriously, I don't understand what's bothering you about that ridiculous fellow, Albus?"

"He made some Horcruxes."

"Some... Horcruxes?" Grindelwald quickly grasped the point. "You don't know how much that number is?"

After this conversation, Grindelwald never talked with Dumbledore in private. Their plan did not require too many complicated discussions, and the Horcrux problem could not be solved all at once.

He didn't know what else he could say to Dumbledore now - a tearful confession in front of Dumbledore?Oh come on!Grindelwald thought what he had said to Dumbledore last time was as much confession as he could express now.And how do you apologize to someone who seems to have forgiven you 50 years ago?

So Grindelwald, who couldn't think of an answer, continued to play the role of Professor Victor perfectly, and taught the students on time like an ordinary professor, but he really didn't have the patience to assign a lot of homework to the students.Because he doesn't want to waste all his hard-won free time on correcting homework—fortunately, Victor himself is not a professor who likes to assign a lot of homework—he prefers to wander around the castle when he is free Going around or taking a stroll in the Forbidden Forest would be more rewarding for him.Especially in this special time, you can always find something interesting if you walk around.

Except for the insiders, no one in the school noticed that Professor Victor was any different from the past.Only the werewolf showed restrained and tactful disapproval that his relationship with Professor Bubaji was too close.

Of course, Grindelwald is very aware of the reasons for this, and Lupine completely misunderstood the relationship between him and Bubbaji, or Jody Potter.It would be more appropriate for Jody to be on guard or under surveillance than to be close to him.She was as insecure about anything as any woman, Grindelwald couldn't help thinking.

"Actually, you don't need to stare at me so closely, my dear Caredy, I can't blow up Hogwarts or transform this place into my re-emerging stronghold when you are not paying attention." During breakfast Grindelwald whispered narrowly to Jody, who was sitting beside him, with a smile on his face, as if they were just having a pleasant chat. "Don't you have any regard for our Potions Master's mood? I'm not happy to say he's getting too close to us."

Grindelwald is perhaps the person at the school who knows best how possessive Snape is to Jody.Snape contributed a lot to why Grindelwald ended up posing as Edmund Victor.Of course, Grindelwald understood everything when he took Legilimency to Victor.Snape's obsession and possessiveness towards feelings made Grindelwald appreciate the young Slytherin's approach from the bottom of his heart.He doesn't mind cooperating or even being used, so as to help a young man with a lot of ability and brains relieve a little worry about his future.

"Oh, don't worry too much about it." Jody swallowed the scrambled eggs in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and then spoke in a relaxed tone. "The old man is always worthy of our respect and love. I believe that based on what I know about Professor Snape, he must think so."

"I don't think that's necessarily the case," Grindelwald didn't care what Jody meant, but said thoughtfully. "You know, sometimes men themselves don't really know what men think."

Just like that day in the office, he had even thought that they would have to make a magical oath before Dumbledore would agree to his proposed plan, believing that his departure from Nurmengard was not an attempt to make a comeback.But Dumbledore didn't do that.Dumbledore talked to him calmly as he expected, but this actually made Grindelwald somewhat annoyed while wondering if they coincided with each other again.

Dumbledore's performance was too calm, so calm that Grindelwald was caught off guard.He hadn't foreseen or couldn't get used to such a reaction, like Jody didn't trust him completely, but he didn't resent the doubt, rather it was satisfying, or at least reassuring.

"By the way, aren't you worried about Harry Potter?" Seeing a puzzled look in Jody's eyes, Grindelwald coughed lightly and changed the subject. "I think you must already know what the content of the first game is?"

"I believe Harry has the ability to face this challenge." Jody said lightly, if she hadn't seen her grasping the knife and fork tightly, Grindelwald would have believed her words.She looked in Harry's direction.Harry was opening the letter Hedwig brought him at the dining table, and Ron Weasley on the side still seemed to be having a fight with Harry. "He is the champion of Hogwarts chosen by the Goblet of Fire."

After saying these words, Jody calmed down involuntarily.Of course, according to Barty Crouch Jr.'s plan, Harry had to participate in the Triwizard Tournament no matter what.If Harry couldn't be chosen as a champion by the Goblet of Fire, a powerful confusion spell pre-cast on the Goblet of Fire would make the Goblet of Fire treat Harry as the only champion of the fourth school, but to Jody's pride, the Goblet of Fire Acknowledging Harry's status as a Hogwarts champion.

However, this result seemed to make Barty Jr. even more afraid of Harry.He seemed to believe more in the description in that prophecy, and believed that the Dark Lord's obsession with Harry was not meaningless anymore.However, this did not prevent him from still planning to give Harry a little help. He had to ensure that Harry had an absolute chance of winning in the Triwizard Tournament.

Moreover, even if Barty Jr. didn't do that, Jody would take the initiative to help Harry.She couldn't watch Harry really face unknown threats as stipulated in the competition - except for Dumbledore, I am afraid that no one would be willing to abide by the rules and pay attention to demeanor in such a competition.Neither Mrs. Maxim nor Karkaroff will be stingy with giving their warriors more help.

Harry knew that too.Just last night, Hagrid quietly took Harry to see the content of the first project.Under the cloak of invisibility, Harry couldn't believe that his next challenge was a brooding female dragon!Moreover, he also saw Mrs. Maxim and Karkaroff who was also peeping, which meant that Fleur and Krum would not be kept in the dark, which made Harry feel guilty about cheating all of a sudden. Disappeared.

Ron's brother Charlie was in charge of studying dragons in Romania, and this time he and his companions brought the dragons to Hogwarts.Although Harry, who firmly believed that he had done nothing wrong this time, was determined not to take the initiative to talk to Ron if he did not apologize, Harry still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable when he saw Charlie, especially when Charlie Speaking of the time when Mrs. Weasley had been worried about his safety since she read the report in the Daily Prophet.

Speaking of the "Daily Prophet", one cannot fail to mention Rita Skeeter's coverage of the Triwizard Tournament.

Maybe it was because Harry's attitude towards her was so bad that she completely angered her. She didn't give up this opportunity to write about Harry with confidence, but the angle is obviously different from the one she was burned by Harry before. .

"A Slytherin student who did not want to be named said that breaking the rules is very common for Harry Potter, and he has long been accustomed to using his special status to obtain certain privileges, such as Joined the college's Quidditch team... Of course, we believe that this special status and the indulgence of the school contributed to his current rude and arrogant personality..." When describing Harry's "arrogance", Rita Skeeter also compared the approachability of the famous Quidditch star Viktor Krum with Harry, and also praised Fleur Delacour's amazing beauty and demeanor, thinking that Harry " You should learn from these outstanding young wizards. Instead of wasting your youth on messing with girls."

In short, Rita Skeeter spared no effort to criticize Harry Potter as a fourth-year student trying to squeeze into the Triwizard Tournament, "may even bring Hogwarts nearly a hundred years of history." Greatest shame."

Sirius was so enraged by the report that he sent Rita Skeeter a Howler letter, and at the same time wrote to Harry expressing concern for Harry's safety.

However, this report did not affect Harry's mood at all. Compared with the manuscript he burned that described how he became a weak little pathetic and made disgusting remarks, Harry felt that this one was much better now. .What's more, after knowing the challenges he will face, how can he care about a ridiculous report?

Harry had been introduced to dragons in his first year, and Hagrid's juvenile Norwegian Ridgeback was causing him and Hermione, Neville... and Ron a lot of trouble.But that was just a baby dragon, and now he's up against an adult, brooding female dragon!

Harry didn't think that the solutions he thought of to deal with the challenge would make him less frightened when he actually faced the dragon.But the days of the competition passed faster than expected, as if he had just secretly seen those terrifying behemoths wearing an invisibility cloak the day before, and he was about to accept the challenge the next day.

Ludo Bagman still happily announced that the first project was to win a golden egg, and he didn't notice at all that none of the three warriors showed any expressions of panic and surprise at this astonishing challenge.But for the audience watching the game on the field, the feeling when they learned about this challenge was shocking. No one thought that the warrior would face a female dragon alone!

"Oh, my God... the brooding mother dragons are so fierce and violent, I heard Charlie say that! They are crazy!" Ron's face turned pale, and he watched nervously as Charlie and the other dragon trainers took the brooding female The dragon was brought to the center of the field, and a golden egg of the same size as other dragon eggs was mixed into those dragon eggs. This is the goal of the warriors today. "They can't..."

Sweat began to break down Neville's brow.Hermione was too nervous to speak, and she crossed her fingers and prayed for Harry.Even though she and Neville had practiced spells against dragons with Harry, that didn't make either of them any less worried about the situation before them.

Ron craned his neck and looked at the entrance of the Warriors, as if wishing he could see Harry come out sooner.Neither the glamorous Fleur Delacour nor the famous Viktor Krum interested him as much as they usually did.He knew the game was exciting and emotional, but it couldn't involve his emotions, not at all—until Harry showed up on the field.

Harry used the Flying Charm to summon the Firebolt, and then hovered lightly in the sky, attracting the attention of the Chinese Fireball Dragon, and taking advantage of its attention being completely attracted, he even forgot about the dragon egg and wanted to fly When it got up to attack him, it quickly swooped down under it and took the dragon egg away.

It was only a few minutes, but it felt like centuries to Ron.He watched as the flames from the Chinese fireball almost brushed against the top of Harry's head, the dragon's claws seemed to crush Harry to the ground in a second, and the mouth seemed to swallow Harry...

However, none of this happened in the end. When Harry fell to the ground with the golden egg in his arms, Ron suddenly stood up and ran down the stands.Hermione and Neville looked at each other, smiled at the same time, and followed.
