Chapter 124 Don't you know that I hate Newt the most?
The speaker.
It was an uninvited guest who came from afar.
Grindelwald, principal of the Demstrong School of Magic.
Since Dumbledore did not close Hogwarts School this year, Grindelwald and Dumbledore often communicated, and it happened to be Christmas eve, and Grindelwald came here with a group of students.
In fact, Grindelwald's real reason is that Weisen has not contacted him. Half a year has passed, and Grindelwald and Weisen have not been able to re-establish contact channels.
I really don't know what Weisen has been doing...
If Grindelwald asked this question, the answer that Weisen could give was that he had been playing with all kinds of strange magic animals for half a year from summer vacation to the present...
Yes.
Wesson didn't seem to have stopped.
During the summer vacation, Weisen helped take care of the magical magic animals at Cedric's house; after returning to school, Weisen and Newt Scarmand took care of the animals in the suitcase together...
Grindelwald certainly didn't know about this.
In order to avoid any trouble that Wiesen might cause during the upcoming Christmas holiday, Grindelwald had to come to Hogwarts in person, hoping to have a chat with Wiesen.
certainly.
Grindelwald also plans to celebrate Christmas here.
These things must not be put on the surface, so Grindelwald brought a Quidditch team from the Demstrong School of Magic, on the grounds that the two schools had a Quidditch exchange match.
On the court in Quidditch.
Weisen left with a group of Hufflepuff students.
This scene made Grindelwald feel a little damn, is this little guy Weisen really likes campus life? A guy who secretly created the Dark King actually lives well in school?
Grindelwald turned his head and looked at Dumbledore beside him. He felt something wrong with his old friend's eyes. He suddenly chuckled and said, "Speaking of it, Dumbledore, that little guy is so decisive that he is a little likeable. Why not let him transfer to Demstrong!"
“…”
Dumbledore immediately shook his head and rejected Grindelwald's proposal.
As a principal, Dumbledore naturally did not want a student who would definitely become an excellent Auror in the future to leave school, or he could not let any of his students bewitched by Grindelwald.
“Only Hogwarts is the best school for Wesson.”
Dumbledore frowned, slowly turned his head and looked at Grindelwald, shook his head gently: "Grindelwald, don't scare these little guys, their courage is not that great..."
"Yeah…"
Grindelwald's fingers unconsciously fiddled with the bracelet on his body.
If other students were timid, Grindelwald would definitely believe it; if Wiesen was timid, Grindelwald could not help but want to see what Dumbledore looked like when he knew the truth...
"Okay, let's talk about the serious business!"
Grindelwald's palm slowly stroked his pocket watch and whispered: "I want Demstrong and Hogwarts to play a Quidditch game, although I don't think this sport is of use..."
When he said this, Grindelwald turned his words and continued: "But the children in Demstrong love this sport very much and even produced a good player. The Bulgarian Minister of Magic wants that child to go to the national Quidditch team next year..."
Yes.
Demstrong produced a talented golfer.
This genius player is also in the second grade this year, which has attracted a lot of attention.
In order to win over some European countries, Grindelwald invited them to attend a banquet at Demstrong, and even let them watch Demstrong's Quidditch competition in school.
After the social event, the Bulgarian Minister of Magic took the initiative to come to Grindelwald, hoping to allow Demstrong's talented player to join the national Quidditch team in the future, because he believes that player is an excellent star seedling of Quidditch sports.
"A player who can enter the national team at such a young age?"
Dumbledore couldn't help but be surprised. He seemed to think quickly: "That child should be a golfer, right?"
In addition to the golfer who requires flight skills and eyesight...
There must be more advantages in the other positions of the Quidditch game.
However, Dumbledore soon discovered the problem, and his eyes immediately became sharper: "When did you get to the Bulgarian Ministry of Magic..."
"They defected to me."
Grindelwald spread his palms out indifferently, and his face seemed to be helpless and teased: "You know, my personality is too weak, and I can't refuse those who take the initiative to surrender to me..."
“…”
Dumbledore's eyes twitched.
There is no need to say such lies in front of him!
Dumbledore really didn't know whether it was pros and cons after negotiating with Grindelwald half a year ago. Now it seems like he was removing the chains from a giant dragon.
"Continue to talk about the serious business!"
Grindelwald looked at the helplessness on Dumbledore's face, his smile grew stronger and stronger, and continued with a chuckle: "You know I don't like them being addicted to this kind of sport... So I gave that kid a condition, and as long as they can beat Hogwarts' Quidditch team, let him go to the National Quidditch team."
“…”
Dumbledore really didn't know whether he should refuse.
What Grindelwald said seems to be harmless. Two schools have a Quidditch game that is a friendly exchange. It is not a bad thing to open the eyes of the students...
The main problem is...
Will Grindelwald play any tricks?
Dumbledore did not expect that after only half a year of negotiations, Grindelwald had already gained a foothold again, and he could not judge whether Grindelwald would breach his promise...
If Grindelwald uses this Quidditch game to deceive him and secretly collude with Petr, and he will be in trouble if he does anything big at Hogwarts.
"I want to think about it."
Dumbledore naturally didn't want to agree to this matter on the spot.
To be honest, Dumbledore is even now starting to find reasons to find ways to send Grindelwald back. Instead of taking such a big risk, it is better to avoid the risks early.
If there are any trouble and dangers during the Quidditch game between the two schools, Dumbledore cannot guarantee that he can protect so many students in time...
“What are you thinking about?”
Grindelwald shook his head indifferently and continued to speak: "If you are worried, you can put this game on the Quidditch Stadium outside... By the way, take this opportunity to tell everyone that Demstrong is better than Hogwarts, and Demstrong will have more freshmen next year."
“…”
This sentence is a little too much.
As the principal of Hogwarts, Dumbledore's expression was a little unfair.
Grindelwald might have felt it, and suddenly said, "Okay, okay, just treat it as a signal of our reconciliation, or a signal of peace. Although I don't like Quidditch very much, at least this will make others seem to have completely reconciled..."
This reason is quite sufficient.
At least compared with other reasons, Dumbledore also believes that this may also be one of Grindelwald's goals, but this statement can indeed satisfy many people.
During this period, people have been attacking their compromises.
If Hogwarts and Demstrong jointly held a sport that wizards like, it might also allow wizards to see the peace brought by their compromises that would not be completely ineffective.
"I agree."
Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald and nodded meaningfully, "Gellert, I hope the two of us have the same idea."
“…”
After a while of silence, Grindelwald suddenly chuckled and said, "At least in the past, we had a period of the same idea. Who can tell the future?"
"Where is the time?"
Dumbledore focuses on the time of two school amici-game matches.
“How about Christmas?”
Grindelwald offers a sounding good time.
However, Dumbledore remembered his experience last Christmas and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart because Petr gave a big gift to the entire magic world - a huge trouble.
"good."
Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald and nodded slowly.
Apart from this time, the other time seems a bit strange. It is better to put it on this special date to see if Grindelwald is actually conspiring...
If everything goes well, it's OK...
If Grindelwald and Petrified Peter colluded again, they might be able to take this opportunity to get rid of them!
Exclusive purpose achieved.
Grindelwald's expression was still a little happy.
However, when Grindelwald insisted that Dumbledore take him to visit Hogwarts Castle, he walked to the office of the professor of the Dark Magic Defense Class and met a guy he hated...
Newt Scarmand!
Newt Scamander, this guy who always messed with him sixty years ago, really made Grindelwald extremely annoyed to this fantastic zoologist and the animals he raised!
If it's just that, it's fine...
The problem is that Grindelwald also saw a familiar gray-haired boy I just saw on the court. He and Newt Scamander were having a great time chatting, and it seemed that both of them were in a good mood...
“…”
To be honest.
Grindelwald's good mood immediately became much worse!
How could this little guy get along so well with Newt Scamander? Didn’t he know that Newt Scamander is the person he hates the most?
If it weren't for the occasion at this time...
If Dumbledore hadn't been next to them...
Chapter completed!
