This Hogwarts isn't normal.

10 minutes ago, in the school hospital.

After settling Trelawney, McGonagall looked at Dumbledore with a complicated expression.

"What is it?" Snape was more anxious than ever.

"I don't know." McGonagall shook her head helplessly, "I didn't hear the first sentence Sybil said, but I vaguely heard the word 'real'."

Dumbledore nodded and motioned her to continue.

McGonagall took a deep breath, "Tonight, he will face an unprecedented challenge and fight those terrible monsters.

He began to desire power, all the power to conquer the world.

After this challenge, he will grow up quickly and destroy the order that the wizarding world has maintained for thousands of years."

Snape's face was extremely gloomy.

The protagonist of the prophecy is already very clear, it can only be Voldemort, who has little power left.

"Dumbledore, that person is now in the Albanian forest?"

"An old friend of mine told me so."

Snape turned around without saying a word.

"Severus," Dumbledore called him, "This prophecy doesn't specify who it is, and even the hints are vague."

There are indeed many terrible monsters in the Albanian forest, but the prophecy mentions growth, not recovery of strength.

Unless...

Snape loosened his clenched fists, "Dumbledore, do you know something?"

"I'm not sure. Dumbledore's expression was quite tangled.

The end of the prophecy was "destroy the order that the wizarding world has maintained for thousands of years with your own hands", and as far as he knew, there was actually more than one suspect.

If Voldemort came back, there would undoubtedly be a new war.

The protagonist of the prophecy thirteen years ago was Harry, and only one of him and Voldemort could survive.

Was it before the war? Or after the war? No one knows.

As for the other suspect...

Dumbledore's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and his expression became extremely determined, "I think I need to go somewhere now."

"Where to go?" McGonagall and Snape were both very anxious.

A burst of fire appeared on Dumbledore's shoulder, "Go to an old friend, an old friend who can answer questions. "

The red flames spread rapidly, enveloping him.

Snape wanted to ask more questions, but Fox had already taken him away.

"Severus, what we have to do now is to wait patiently for Albus to come back."

The Albanian forest is a forbidden area that even dark wizards dare not enter, and only a few wizards dare to guarantee that they can escape unscathed.

Snape said nothing, but McGonagall knew that he had calmed down.

As soon as she loosened her pursed lips, she pursed them tightly again.

They both looked out the window at the same time.

Above the dark night sky, something was spreading a breath of despair.

The scale was so large that I'm afraid all the Dementors in the Scottish Highlands have come.

Without any communication, McGonagall and Snape ran out of the school hospital at the same time.

It happened to be during the Halloween dinner, and it happened to be after Dumbledore left.

……

……

In the auditorium,

A cold and desperate atmosphere began to spread.

"Ced! "Vincent raised his wand high and cast the Patronus Charm.

As soon as the Suanni Patronus flew out of the castle, Cedric's horse Patronus also appeared.

Sprout smiled and nodded, then frowned and raised his wand at the same time as Flitwick.

"Expecto Patronus--"

The Eagle Patronus and the Mole Patronus chased out of the castle.

The most important thing now is not why the Dementors came in a team, but how to protect all the students in the school.

The four Patronuses flew out of the castle one after another, and even Neville, who had just woken up, knew why.

This time it was not on the train, and Lupin was not the only professor who knew the Patronus Charm.

McGonagall ran into the hall and looked around, raised her wand and recited the spell.

Her Patronus is the same as her Animagus form, a highly recognizable tabby cat.

"There was a small accident, let's continue the dinner! "

Snape, who arrived later, seemed to have no intention of casting the Patronus Charm.

A small number of students secretly complained that he couldn't do it, the most representative of course being Fred and George.

McGonagall was a tabby cat, Flitwick was an eagle, and Sprout was a mole.

"They are all deans, Snape is probably one of those corrupted evil wizards."

The twins spoke with certainty, as if he would be devoured by the maggots that appeared in the backfire as long as he recited the spell.

Vincent couldn't help but complain: "Is there a possibility that Snape's Patronus is a snake?"

The friends all looked at the second largest pumpkin.

Harry's face was obviously much better than on the train. It seemed that the influence of the Dementors was very small.

Hermione's tone was full of uncertainty: "The serpentine Patronus is also a snake, and it should be controlled by the snake. "

Snape, sensing the malice, glared at her.

She didn't dare to meet the cold gaze, but subconsciously looked at Vincent who gave her a thumbs up.

"You're right, he hates Harry so much, he definitely doesn't want people to know his patronus."

The cold eyes focused on the back of the scapegoat's head.

Vincent thought of Lupin.

His patronus should also have a physical body, maybe he chose to hide it for some personal reasons.

"Why do I always feel a chill on the back of my head?"

Vincent turned around and glared back.

The two sides are evenly matched, it is estimated that it will be difficult to tell the winner.

As for the dementors outside the castle, I can only give them a cool song.

…

…

There is a country with a long history in southern Central Europe.

It borders Hungary and Slovakia to the east, Slovenia and Italy to the south, Switzerland and Liechtenstein to the west, and Germany and the Czech Republic to the north. It is a landlocked country far away from the ocean.

Dumbledore's destination is this country, to be precise, the Alps in the southwest of the country, the dilapidated fortress standing among the mountains.

"For the greater good..."

The writing on the fortress has weathered for a long time, and the entire structure has decayed and fallen off.

Dumbledore murmured softly, as if returning to some distant time.

He closed his eyes and lost himself in the memories.

In a valley, two teenagers were lying on the soft grass.

[Albus, what do you think is the nature of the world? ]

[It should be interests. Whether it is morality or law, they are essentially a reflection of protecting interests. ]

[It’s an interesting point of view. Any hyped truth is nothing more than a banner, and its purpose is just to cover up the naked exchange of interests in secret? ]

[My father... he and my sister were both victims. ]

[Albus, have you ever thought about doing something? ]

[Gellert, I...]

Dumbledore suddenly opened his eyes.

1945——1993

They haven't seen each other for 48 years.
