Chapter 104 103: The Resurrection Stone and the Frightened Dark Lord
Office of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
After Ian was caught by Gilderoy Grindelwald outside Dumbledore's principal's office, he was brought directly here to wait by the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher without any refusal. As for Gilderoy Grindelwald himself, according to what he said, he needed to see what Dumbledore found first.
The communication between the principal and his best friend obviously will not last too short. Ian has not thought about sneaking back to the dormitory, but he is still worried that Gilderoy Grindelwald will go to the dormitory to kill him. He caught it back.
Ian is a person who values his own face very much. During the day, rumors arose that Snape had kidnapped him in a public classroom. God knows what would happen in the school if he was kidnapped by Gilderoy Grindelwald in bed in the middle of the night. .The secret Lockhart had to tell.
"What a terrible night."
Ian stared at the tea Gilderoy Grindelwald made for him in front of him. It was placed in a simple and elegant porcelain cup, with a delicate and smooth body. , the glaze color is as warm as jade, with a faint luster, and such an ingenious appearance, tone and texture, it is obviously a fine porcelain from an ancient oriental country.
The British Empire has been adhering to an oriental respect in the selection of tea and tea sets since ancient times, but such things are not common in Hogwarts and many wizarding families.
Most wizards actually have some shackles of secluded thoughts, so Grindelwald is obviously a person whose thoughts in this regard are completely different from other wizards. In the entire office, which seems to have been re-decorated, In addition to tea utensils, there are also many items with some cultural symbols in many countries.
Russian pine furniture, Persian carpets, Japanese wind chimes, African percussion instruments and wood carvings, things from different countries are collected in this office.
There was even an ancient Oriental plain knife hanging on the wall, and a staff from a culture that Ian couldn't identify, overlapped on the wall. Appears like an X-shaped pattern.
It’s like the intertwining of reality and magic... Although these things all have some magical atmosphere and are alchemical creations, just like the Weasley family’s cars, most of them are extraordinary modified items, and I don’t know how Grindelwald dared to decorate his own office so openly.
"What an elusive guy." Ian has always heard that Grindelwald is a wizard supremacist, and his philosophy is slightly less radical than Voldemort's pure-blood supremacy slogan. However, he was somewhat unexpected to see some Muggle things in this room.
Technology products.
Yes, refrigerators, ovens, TVs, washing machines, and even a disassembled computer were all relatively expensive Muggle technology products in this era.
Grindelwald may indeed be rich himself, or he may have embezzled Gilderoy Lockhart's property, but Ian is more likely to believe that he broke into the home of a rich Muggle man and conducted some extraordinary activities that transcended the times. Zero dollar shopping event. I don’t know why this wizard supremacist would be interested in Muggle things.
"Use this to understand the social situation of Muggles?" Ian felt that based on the things in this office, Voldemort's servant Quirinus Quirrell might not even be the Muggle Studies professor after he returns. You can't even get a job. Look, there's even a box of pickles on Grindelwald's shelf that's been magically protected from spoilage.
It is filled with all kinds of Korean kimchi. Grindelwald has obviously captured the cultural essence of the Great Cold Country. This level of understanding even exceeded that of Muggles in this early 1990s. themselves. Of course, compared to the labels hanging under other collections, the label under the pickle box does not contain any of Grindelwald’s insights and analysis of culture.
All that is left is a five-question question like "?????" - Grindelwald has written long articles about ancient Eastern countries, but he seems to be unable to analyze the culture of Kimchi Country.
"It's understandable. Whoever sees their situation is not confused..." Ian waited for Grindelwald boredly. During this period, he was also curious and looked at Grindelwald's collection in the office. Except for modified radios, those technological products cannot be used in Hogwarts without exception.
Even though Ian, who has both physical and demon skills, can use magic to create a stable and long-lasting electric current, he still can't start even an electronic device - this situation actually happened when Ian accidentally discovered his tape recorder. , something was discovered after the recording about Daphne Greengrass could not be released.
It’s not that he forgot to file a complaint, he just found that he couldn’t bring the evidence to file a complaint. Of course, the fact that Miss Daphne Greengrass has been very honest recently is also the reason why Ian did not attack. Otherwise, the words "Professor, what does a mudblood mean?" would definitely be enough to make Daphne Greengrass uncomfortable for a while. .
Ian originally planned to spend time in Hogwarts, asking every professor, and mentioning Daphne Greengrass to every professor, but Daphne Greengrass's reformed attitude was a saving grace. She had lost herself - Aurora said that she no longer dared to discriminate against any Muggle-born wizard.
Ian is even more fearful than the professor. Since the last Marcus incident, Daphne Greengrass will immediately choose to take a detour when seeing Ian from a distance. Even if it's raining outside, she will pretend to go out to bask in the sun. The main thing is to avoid Ian even when it's raining
In the classroom where Ravenclaw and Slytherin share the same class, she will also Turning herself into a transparent person, whenever Ian looked at her, her whole body would shake into a sieve and burrow under the table.
Ian felt that he was not a very grudge-bearing person, he only held a slight grudge, so he did not continue to miss Daphne, and only occasionally used "staring" eyes to scare Miss Greengrass.
This is just a small episode in daily life. What is worth mentioning is that through this incident, Ian realized that not only did Hogwarts have no electricity, but also the use of electrical appliances was not allowed.
It has obviously been cast with some kind of magic or interference. Even if Ian can create a stable rated current through alchemy, Muggle electronic products still cannot be used here.
"Only magic-modified items are allowed to function..."
Ian didn't quite understand the reason for this situation. When he asked the portraits, the portraits only told him In a word - behind every school rule there is a story.
Maybe something happened in Hogwarts before, or maybe there was a similar situation in the entire wizarding world. Ian's limited experience did not allow him to guess the answer to the question.
"Anyway, magic plus technology is definitely going to be promising, and it is definitely more promising than a single skill tree." Ian has always had his own alchemy concepts in this regard, such as limiting the universe The spacecraft's flight range will be fuel, but if it is a spaceship driven by magic, it will be different immediately.
The high cost of space fuel is high and bulky. How can magic wizards only need three steamed buns a day... maybe add a little kimchi?
Ian looked at the pickle box on the shelf again. And at this moment, with the sound of footsteps in the direction of the door, Gilderoy Grindelwald, who had been talking to Dumbledore for a long time, finally came back.
"Sorry, I kept you waiting for a long time." His attitude has been changing a lot in terms of politeness. Now Gilderoy Grindelwald seems to be in a good mood, "It's actually ours. The principal was so enthusiastic that I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but he still talked to me about a lot of past events.”
No one knows whether this is the truth. Ian cannot sense Gilderoy Grindelwald's heart. He can only judge from the smile on Gilderoy Grindelwald's face that this old man is indeed the same as Dumbledore. We had a great time talking.
“You can’t guess what I saw. He received a letter from someone who didn’t know who he was. He treasured the letter so much that he didn’t even want me to touch it. "
Gilderoy Grindelwald walked into the office cheerfully, "Aurora must have told you about our family's talent. Our stingy principal is obviously worried that I will "see" it from that letter. He didn't know what scene we were in. In fact, when I walked in the door He saw a scene that he absolutely did not want to happen. "
"No matter what is in that letter, someone will steal a photo from that letter in the near future." Gilderoy. Grindelwald's expression seemed a little gloating, "If he lets me read the letter, I will definitely tell him, but now...heh, let the stingy people worry about it."
Maybe it is. Old people have the same bad taste as children.
Ian lowered his head.
No one dared to talk.
He can trust Dumbledore, but he obviously does not dare to trust Grindelwald. Therefore, he can tell Dumbledore about some things, but he definitely does not want Grindelwald to know.
Of course.
If Grindelwald cheated, there is really nothing we can do about it. The only thing that cannot be checked and balanced is the hanging ratio. Even if it is only a small opening, it is still an almost unsolvable situation.
"Perhaps it's a letter from Aberforth?" Ian has become a habit of pretending to be stupid. No matter whether it is useful or not, it is better to pretend to be stupid than not to pretend at all. To be honest, he was really tired. There were too many old monsters. After he came to Hogwarts, he had gained an additional ability called [Acting Skills].
Perhaps because Ian had told Grindelwald before that he was going to complain to Dumbledore, Grindelwald did not seem to connect him with the letter.
At least on the surface it is.
"He and his brother have no contact for a long time. Although I have been staying in a certain place and never come out, I still have not lost my understanding of the situation in the outside world."
Ji Dro Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, "This involves something from the past... Judging from your expression, it is obvious that you have also understood the story that happened back then."
I can only say that Ian does have [acting skills], but his level is really not high.
“I only know a little bit.”
Ian hurriedly drank tea tactically. The color of the tea was clear, with an elegant light green color, as fresh as a spring leaf, but it just tasted like a sour taste. He felt as if his tongue was licking Coptis chinensis.
It was really bitter... Ian, who did not believe in evil, tasted it again. The taste was really bitter and strange. He suspected that this was what Gilderoy Grindelwald did to him on Halloween. mischief.
“Bah, bah, bah~”
Ian took another sip, still grinning like a man drinking an iced Americano for the first time. Gilderoy Grindelwald didn't pay attention to Ian's curious cat-like reaction.
There was a hint of regret in his expression, and a trace of remorse in his tone, "That tragedy changed everything, and it also means that some prophecies will indeed make the prophet pay a price."
"The talent we have will give us some glimpse into the future, but if we don't get it right If you correctly interpret the fragments seen in the prophecy, the prophet will suffer the backlash from the prophecy."
"I am cautious enough now, but I still feel that I am not cautious enough... I hope you can also keep this in mind. A little." Gilderoy Grindelwald glanced at Ian thoughtfully.
"I will remind Aurora."
Ian blinked and continued drinking tea.
"I'm not worried about that child. She has always had some... unique interpretations of the future she sees. This may not be a talent that allows her to avoid punishment." Gilderoy Green Devo's expression was a little awkward, and his tone of voice also had a sense of helplessness.
"Will the things predicted inevitably happen?" Ian has not yet reached the age to take divination classes, and he is also a little curious about one of the most mysterious magics in his world.
"It depends on how many wizards believe in it... I generally do not reveal this little-known answer to others, because it almost represents a common weakness among the seers." Gilderoy. Grindelwald put his hand on Ian's head and rubbed Ian's hair, which was still thick now.
"Of course, for a cute little wizard like you, I am willing to answer all your questions." Gilderoy Grindelwald stood behind Ian.
One of his eyes turned slightly white, and then the scene reflected in his eyes changed, but the scene he saw did not change much from the scene he had seen for many years.
"Oh, by the way, if the things you want to predict are subversive enough, it will be difficult for even the best prophets to truly see the future. I think this has a lot to do with the influence of history." Ji Drodo Grindelwald's voice was very gentle, and he still patiently added a sentence to Ian.
His eyes returned to normal, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He was not disappointed because he did not see a new scene. It was enough for him to just see the flag raised in the scene.
“Suppose I am a prophet, and then I make a prediction that I did not actually see, but because of my high reputation, everyone believes my prediction?”
Ian looked at Gilderoy Grindelwald walking in front of him. He couldn't run away anyway, so naturally he could only let himself learn more knowledge from the prophet who had left writings in history.
"A great question. Almost no one would make such an assumption. Wizards can indeed guide the future, because the future is uncertain before it becomes the present."
"Different prophets may see different futures, and may choose to direct the present to the future they want, But for your situation of assuming a future that has not been predicted, even those famous prophets may not be able to give you an accurate answer to this question." Gilderoy Grindelwald sat down. Opposite En, he also made himself a cup of tea that made Ian feel bitter and heady.
“Okay.”
Ian continued to drink tea with some regret.
“What did you taste?”
Gilderoy Grindelwald suddenly asked curiously.
“Bitterness, pure bitterness.”
Ian answered honestly.
"Yes, this proves that you are living a happy life." Gilderoy Grindelwald's words were very interesting, and Ian couldn't help but look at the tea cup in his hand thoughtfully.
"To me, this is a sweet tea, but it has changed a bit recently." Gilderoy Grindelwald chuckled and took a sip, then suddenly responded to what Ian had said before question, "In fact, as far as I know, Merlin once made a similar attempt, and finally he warned future generations in his legacy not to be curious about it anymore..."
A seemingly vague response.
But there is obviously some exact information hidden.
"Is that possible?"
Ian's eyes widened in shock.
"Wizards are amazing enough, Ian, but I can't give you a definite answer yet." Gilderoy Grindelwald looked at Lockhart's face with a bright smile.
"Because some things still need time to be verified."
His words are very informative.
Iain's already widened eyes expanded even more.
“What did you do?”
Ian couldn’t help but ask.
"Of course it's a small misdirection. As for the purpose..." Grindelwald's eyes were flickering, but Ian sitting opposite him didn't have such good eyesight, otherwise Ian might be able to see It must be understood that every time the pupils shine, it represents a different future that Grindelwald has seen.
The scenes are different, and there are huge differences, but in almost every scene, the glory that seems to have been stabilized by history is absolutely full of cold death - hundreds of predictions in decades. Without exception.
The greater good requires a price. Grindelwald's prophecies never contained the future that Dumbledore wanted to see. Some of them were always grander prospects with smaller costs.
Nothing more.
"It's time to put an end to the stupid things our principal might do. After all, some things require the participation of a great person like him before we can get the answer to the question you just asked." Grindelwald Station He stood up and tidied his clothes, and his single eye finally settled on a foggy scene.
The fog is lifting.
But things in the mist are still not clear enough - Grindelwald did not completely deceive Dumbledore not long ago, he also joined in and challenged the prophets' highest achievements.
"Of course, your joining is essential."
The smile on Grindelwald's face became brighter and his tone was meaningful.
"Professor, where do you want to take me? Hogsmeade?" Although Ian will not start the small class tonight due to the holidays, he still does not want to waste learning new knowledge every night time.
Time is all about proficiency, Professor!
Of course, if Grindelwald only took him to Hogsmeade, he might also be able to find an opportunity to bring the "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts" placed in Snape's cabin to the school.
“It’s still a little further.”
Gilderoy Grindelwald walked to the desk and took out a gold box from the desk. He was a little disgusted. He threw the box to Ian across the desk.
“What is this?”
Ian looked at the cube in his hand without any gaps. He felt the weight of gold and wanted to verify it, but he was embarrassed because Grindelwald was here.
"A container containing things that Dumbledore didn't let me handle." Gilderoy Grindelwald changed himself into a scarf and looked pretty in front of the mirror for a while.
“It will be useful soon.”
Gilderoy Grindelwald adjusted his clothes, walked to the cabinet where various collectibles were placed, and turned around. Wordlessly, he stretched out his hand to Ian.
"Horcrux?"
Ian shook it.
The next moment.
Ian then understood the function of the Korean kimchi box - Gilderoy Grindelwald squeezed the kimchi box with his other hand, and an invisible force seemed to surge in the air. Power envelopes them.
Ian and Gilderoy Grindelwald disappeared directly into the office. It was obvious that the pickle box had been made into a door key, and the surrounding scene seemed to be distorted and stretched by a powerful magical force. Until it completely disappeared, the sound of howling wind and colorful colors filled the surroundings of Ian and Gilderoy Grindelwald.
Rotating, flying... and possibly jumping a little. It's like riding an invisible train heading towards a distant destination.
It feels much better than Apparition. When the power of the portkey gradually weakened, Ian's vision became clear again, and he found himself being taken to the wilderness.
"The Gaunt family once lived here, do you know where this is?" Gilderoy Grindelwald beside him still maintained Lockhart's appearance. After all, he is still imprisoned, so he must not use his appearance to carry out activities, otherwise it will be difficult to explain what is going on with the "Grindelwald" currently imprisoned in Nurmengard. "Professor, are we here to catch the old mountain village corpse?" Ian had been fooled by Dumbledore once, and of course he would not fall for it a second time, so he just looked around curiously.
Darkness falls on Halloween night.
The sky seems to be soaked in thick ink, the stars are hidden, and the moonlight seems to be avoided at this time. Only a few weak rays of light barely penetrate the thick clouds.
far away.
A dilapidated wooden shed stands in the wilderness, and a trace of moonlight shines on the mottled old house, adding a strange color to this place.
The surrounding trees grow twisted and dense, as if they are witnesses of nature’s curse on this land. Their branches hang low, as if they are countless ghost hands, stretching silently in the night, trying to catch every living thing that strays into this place. The wind passed through the treetops, making a whimpering sound like the whispers of the dead.
"Old corpse of the mountain village? You are right to say that. There is a Horcrux here. We need to hide it from our principal so that he has no chance to come into contact with this Horcrux."
< br>Gilderoy Grindelwald took Ian forward.
His voice was a bit teasing, "Of course, I may also take revenge on you. After all, Aurora said that you think I am inferior to Dumbledore, maybe I will bury you directly here."
Maybe. There is no one around.
Grindelwald deliberately changed Gilderoy back to his original state, and the handsome old man made a sinister expression, as if he was about to ask Ian if he was Dumbledore's favorite cub at the next moment.
“Gu~”
Ian swallowed.
Can you not be nervous?
He is really Dumbledore’s favorite cub in Hogwarts!
Ian's hand has already touched his wand. Of course, his little actions couldn't be hidden from Grindelwald, but it made Grindelwald laugh very happily.
"Aurora is right, you little guy is really brave." After saying that, Grindelwald walked in front of Ian. Their destination was obviously the dilapidated wooden shed in the distance. .
“We all know how poor Aurora’s reading comprehension skills are!”
Ian quickly defended himself as he followed.
"Tsk, tsk, now you are complaining about my blood relatives in front of me. Maybe I will be really upset and leave you here and let you walk back to Hogwarts." Grind Waugh can be called the best face-changer. One second he was raising his eyebrows as if he was joking, and the next second his tone became serious.
This is obviously more threatening than being buried alive.
"Aurora and I are good friends. She will definitely not think that I am complaining about her. I promised to prepare a Christmas gift for her. She will cry if she does not receive it."
"And, I give you and Dumbledore Many have prepared Christmas gifts. You may not like Christmas gifts, but you don’t want Dumbledore to not receive a decent Christmas gift this year, right?” Ian’s tone was full of tea, and he was obviously betting on Grindelwald. Dumbledore and I are really good friends.
"Hahaha~"
Grindelwald laughed very loudly, which disturbed the sleeping things in the forest. Many black shadows fluttered on the trees, mostly birds resting on the branches at night. .
“There’s someone.”
Before arriving at the shack in the distance, Ian saw a few people in suits. They didn’t sleep at night, but they were actually in this mountain wilderness. He followed a nun in circles. Like an eagle catching a hen and a chick, the nun walked in front, and a few men in suits put their eyes on the shoulders of the person in front.
The nun seemed to be looking for something with these men in suits - when Ian discovered them, Grindelwald's laughter obviously disturbed them.
"Wizard!"
The nun immediately exclaimed after seeing what Ian and Grindelwald were wearing. This made several men in suits immediately shocked and pulled off their blindfolds. of cloth.
They were going to take something out of their waists, but at night they could only see a dark mess. Ian immediately felt his scalp numb, and the wand flashed with blue flames when he raised his hand.
But Grindelwald is obviously much faster than him.
“Everything is forgotten!”
This is probably the best interpretation of the character being cosplayed. Gilderoy Grindelwald used Lockhart's signature skills, and directly caused several Muggles to roll their eyes and faint on the ground at once.
“Some people say that I am a dark wizard trained by Durmstrang, but I think Durmstrang is obviously far inferior to Hogwarts in terms of cultivating dark wizards.”< br>
"There was Tom Riddle before, and now there is Ian Prince? Tsk tsk, you guys are really good at it." Grindelwald turned to look at Ian and slowly put away his anger.
“That’s a gun!”
Ian was shocked.
He actually wanted to eat the big melon directly.
"I know what they want to get. In fact, these people who use squibs to find us have existed many, many years ago."
Green DeVoe glanced at Ian thoughtfully, "You kids today can hardly imagine what happened to the wizards caught by this group of people back then... I saw them when I was in Japan. over A wizard was completely dissected, and every organ was used to study why we have magic."
"Many people said that my ideas were extreme, but it was obvious that some Muggles were much more extreme than me. , This is the inevitable contradiction between different species." Grindelwald didn't know if he was waiting for this time on purpose before he brought Ian here to "encounter" this group of wizard seekers.
No matter what the situation is.
He was indeed using these people to preach to Ian, "Look at them, their immediate reaction after discovering that we are wizards has already explained a lot of problems."
"I never wanted to Exterminate Muggles, but don’t want Muggles to exterminate us... Maybe there are friendly people among Muggles, but if If the initiative is on our side, friendly people believe that it will be more, not less. Tolerance and peace can only be achieved when we are the winners. "It must be said, even if we are imprisoned. After many years, Grindelwald's speech ability is still as outstanding as what Ian saw in Dumbledore's memory.
"Dumbledore didn't let me learn this from you."
Ian quickly carried out the old principal. He felt that he was being instilled with dangerous ideas, and he didn't want to do the same. Like those saints who were brainwashed by Grindelwald.
“He doesn’t allow me to kill anyone either.”
Grindelwald spread his hands and looked at the unconscious people with some regret, "However, he didn't say that he wouldn't allow me to help others rejuvenate."
Okay.
As expected, the old guy is more ruthless.
I am afraid this is not directly restoring other people's memories to factory settings.
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm just telling you some realistic situations." After Grindelwald said this, he did not talk about the conflict between Muggles and wizards.
They made their way to an old shack that looked unremarkable. The walls of this old house are covered with moss, and the tiles on the roof are scattered, exposing the rafters inside. The area around the old house was overgrown with weeds, mixed with some yellow nettles, their leaves glowing with a faint green light in the weak moonlight.
This is obviously an ominous place. One or two nocturnal creatures shuttle through this desolate land. Their screams are sharp and sad, adding a bit of horror to this gloomy scene.
"Oh, those people will never find it here even if they look for it all their lives. Not to mention the gap between squibs and wizards, the gap between wizards and wizards is equally huge." Grindelwald looked at the people in front of him. A legendary family home. It is half-hidden and half-revealed among the tangled trees between two steep hillsides.
Ian was also observing curiously. Thick nettles grew all around the house, reaching up to the windows, which were very small and covered with a thick layer of old grime.
And an S-shaped dead snake is nailed to the door.
It symbolizes the pure-blood family of Salazar Slytherin. This is the house where Voldemort's mother Merope Gaunt, uncle Morfin Gaunt and maternal grandfather Marvolo Gaunt lived. Perhaps the group of Muggles that Ian and Grindelwald met were the ones who knew that there had been wizards nearby due to the news passed down from Voldemort's father's side who had escaped.
“There are traces of magic here.”
Ian waved his wand, and the hidden protective magic appeared. Grindelwald beside him nodded approvingly. After nodding, he also raised his wand and waved it.
Soon.
More protective magic that was not seen by Ian appeared together.
"Hiss~"
Ian has already felt how much Tom Riddle attaches importance to the protection of this place. I am afraid that those group of squibs and Muggles will suffer a very, very miserable fate if they find this old house. end. He discerned the methods used in the old house. In comparison, Grindelwald's punishment just now was really the luck of those people.
"If you ask me, it would be better to find a stone, make it into a Horcrux and throw it into the sea." Grindelwald curled his lips and wiped off all the protection with his wand in disgust. There are so many protections, even with his strength it took him a long time, which shows how crazy Tom Riddle is.
"I think he might as well make the entire planet his own Horcrux." Ian blinked, and the old and the young started to comment on the famous and mysterious man Voldemort.
"If he has that ability, he still needs to use it as a Horcrux?" Grindelwald pushed open the door nailed with rotten snake bones, and immediately a burst of dust from the room hit him directly.
No one has visited here for many years. Ian covered his nose in disgust. After cleaning up, he was finally able to see the layout of the room clearly - it can only be said that the furnishings in the room are really very shabby, with broken chairs everywhere, and a broken table.
The kerosene lampshade on the wall is also mottled, and even cleaning it is difficult to restore it to normal. Even for Muggles, such a living environment is definitely considered poverty.
It is hard to imagine that this place is where the descendants of Letling live.
It can only be said that the Gunter family was once very wealthy and prominent, but their property had long been squandered. By the time the last generation of the family came, they could only live in such a simple house. The last family members include father Marvolo, son Morfin and daughter Merope. Merope is the biological mother of Voldemort Tom Marvolo Riddle.
“The things are here.” Although Grindelwald had never been here, his eyes locked on one of the broken cabinets as soon as he entered the door.
This is probably the power of prophets.
"Take out the box I gave you and open it." Grindelwald walked to the cabinet, opened the drawer, and an extremely exquisite ring appeared in front of his eyes.
There is also a black gemstone at the top of the ring. He did not touch this legendary treasure, but turned to look at Ian who was studying the gold box.
“Click~”
It took Ian a while to finally understand the principle of use of this thing. He triggered the mechanism and the inside of the cube gold box split open like petals. .
There was already a locket inside - Slytherin's locket.
Seeing the locket that should have been in a certain family appear here, Ian looked a little confused. He looked up suddenly and saw Grindelwald looking at him with a half-smile.
"This thing..."
Ian's expression lost control mainly because he felt that things were a little too outrageous. Harry Potter hadn't started school yet, so why was Voldemort's Horcrux already there? Found three?
"Put this ring with the things in your box." Grindelwald motioned Ian to walk over with his eyes, and then watched Ian pick up the Resurrection Stone from the drawer.
He obviously didn't want to touch the Horcrux.
“Although I feel like you won’t be stupid, I still think I should remind you not to think about wearing this ring, at least not until the curse on it is removed.”
Grindelwald warned seriously.
Ian nodded.
He lowered his head and looked at the two Horcruxes in the golden box, still feeling a bit dreamy.
"The Resurrection Stone, Slytherin's pendant." Grindelwald stepped forward, just looking at the things in the box with his eyes calmly, without any of the pursuit of the Deathly Hallows that he had back then.
"There is a close connection between them. Our miserable Dark Lord didn't even notice this." His words made Ian slightly stunned.
"What connection?"
This is clearly an area beyond Ian's knowledge.
"I don't know either, but you can research slowly. I just read a lot." Grindelwald spread his hands and walked directly towards the gate.
"You want to leave this thing with me?"
Ian quickly followed Grindelwald out of the shed.
"Dumbledore is not willing to destroy it, and I don't want to stay here to disgust me. The only person he and I trust is you. You must not let Dumbledore see that "Resurrection Stone."
"This thing can't resurrect people at all, and even the ones summoned are not the real dead." Grindelwald reminded Ian before taking out the door key. Korean kimchi box.
"Wait for me."
Ian quickly raised his hand to interrupt Grindelwald's actions.
Under the doubtful gaze of the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Ian began to run around around Gunter's old house, like a lost ant and looking for something.
"What are you doing?"
More than half an hour later.
Grindelwald finally couldn't help but ask. He saw Ian come back and use the things in the house to conjure various tools, and then plunged into the depths of the jungle with great excitement.
"I have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's lessons!"
Grindelwald regretted that he did not spray mosquito-preventing potion before going out. He couldn't help but look towards Ian who kept making various noises in the distance. Yue reminded him.
“Coming! Coming!”
Ian, sweating profusely, ran over with a big backpack on his back.
“What have you done!?”
Facts have proved that the prophet is indeed not an omniscient person. The shock and horror in Grindelwald's voice are no less than that of Snape who saw Ian drinking a love potion before.
No way.
Who made Grindelwald see in Ian's backpack... so many good human bones, the number is terrifying, and there are hundreds of missing teeth alone.
“You dug the graves of the Gaunt family!?”
There will always be people who are horrified.
Why can't it be the first generation?
