The Hogwarts Professor at Marvel

Chapter 283 The first meeting with Grindelwald (4900)

Nurmengard, castle study.

The gray-haired Getler Grindelwald, wearing a dark blue windbreaker, stretched out his wand, and tapped lightly on the opposite wall.

A silent transformation spell was released quietly, and a huge mirror immediately appeared on the wall in front of him.

Looking at some old self in the mirror, and some messy white hair.

Grindelwald seemed a little emotional.

Immediately afterwards, from both sides of the face, lightly wipe upwards with both hands, covering the top of the head.

In an instant, the messy white hair began to become clean and smooth, and then slowly stood up, and at the same time, the slightly aged face began to regain its youth.

Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, Grindelwald showed a memory expression on his face, and soon, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, he called softly: "Nubi."

In an instant, the eagle Nuby, who was standing aside, waved his wings, soared into the air, and landed on Grindelwald's shoulder.

At the same time, he stared straight at himself opposite the mirror, as if he was a little curious, or narcissistic.

I used to look like this - fierce, vigorous, and mighty!
Grindelwald raised his mouth when he saw the eagle Nuby.

This eagle is a magical creature cultivated by being idle and boring during these years of self-imprisonment.

He integrated the transformation magic that he had studied over the years into this eagle.

Let it have the talent of changing various forms.

It can be called an excellent work.

but
There is something to do today.

Immediately, with a light wave of his hand, the mirror was redrawn as a wall, and the eagle Nubby stood on Grindelwald's shoulder.

then
With a slight fluctuation of magic power, the pupil of Grindelwald's originally black right eye gradually turned silvery white.

At the same time, in his field of vision, dense silk threads of different colors appeared over the entire castle or the entire Nurmengard.

Red, green, yellow, black and so on are mixed with each other.

These threads of different colors, made of pure magic power, move according to strange trajectories, forming one after another complex rune patterns that are constantly changing
It enveloped the entire Nurmengard, as if preventing someone from leaving.

Seeing this, Grindelwald had a contemptuous smile on his face.

It has been four or fifty years, how much he looks down on him, thinking that a magic can trap him forever.

As early as 30 years ago, he was free to come and go.

It's just that I was discouraged and didn't want to go out again.

Because even if you go out, it is meaningless, the future cannot be changed, everything has a definite number.

But
Gilderoy Lockhart, a man who is not in the future, comes up with a magical study of a non-existent future.

And the future that it brings. Gradually chaotic.

Enough to wake up his dusty heart.

All for the greatest benefit! ! !
"Nuby." Grindelwald whispered again, and the eagle Nuby seemed to sense something.

As Grindelwald walked out of the study, his figure began to change, gradually turning into an owl.

At the same time, with every step Grindelwald took, his appearance began to change, gradually becoming another middle-aged wizard.

Walk out of the study, stand on the top of the castle, and look at the magic seal above.

Grindelwald stretched out his wand and swiped lightly. In the sliding track, clusters of small blue flames emerged, just like Fiercefire, but there were differences.

next moment.
call!
The thin blue flame expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped Grindelwald and Nuby on his shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, with the sound of the flame, it expanded again, and then disappeared, and Grindelwald's figure disappeared together.

London, Hogsmeade.

call!
A group of blue flames suddenly appeared, but the surrounding wizards walked sideways as if they didn't see it.

The next moment, the blue flame disappeared, Grindelwald's body emerged, and then walked forward slowly.

And there was nothing strange on the faces of the wizards around, as if Grindelwald had always existed.

At this moment, Grindelwald looked at the lively and familiar surroundings with a smile on his face, but a trace of indifference could still be seen in his eyes.

What's the point of the wizarding world like stagnant water?
Soon, Grindelwald walked to the Pig's Head Bar.

Glancing at the plaque above, as if thinking of something, his eyes changed slightly, and he entered directly.

After entering the bar, looking at Aberforth Dumbledore who was busy in the bar, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his gaze and saw a portrait of a young girl hanging on the inner wall. His eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help muttering: "Arianna."

While recalling, suddenly, Grindelwald felt a gaze watching him.

Even with a glance, the other party raised his glass and nodded slightly to him.

This man was none other than Gilderoy Lockhart, the founder of meditation, the Unfathomable.

At this moment, Lockhart saw the familiar owl Nubby on the middle-aged wizard's shoulder in the distance, and vaguely sensed the dangerous aura from the opponent's body.

It became clear in an instant that the other party was probably a prophet!

Immediately, he raised the butter beer on the table and nodded.

After that, I watched the Prophet walking slowly, seemingly slow but actually fast, and there was no wizard blocking the way in the middle, as if subconsciously avoiding it.

Seeing this scene, Lockhart's eyes froze, and immediately he smiled.

He opened his mouth and said to the prophet who had already sat down in front of him: "Mr. Prophet, hello, this meeting has been waiting for a long time."

Grindelwald also showed a smile after hearing it, and said meaningfully: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

As for Lockhart, a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and the tone of the other party was obviously different from what he had imagined.

The thought flashed, and he continued to speak: "Mr. Prophet, what would you like to drink?"

"How about butter beer?"

Hearing this, Grindelwald said, "No, come to the Pig's Head Bar."

"Naturally, we must taste the specialty of the owner of the Pig's Head Bar-Fire Whiskey!"

Immediately, he whispered directly to the bartender beside him, "Have a glass of Flame Whiskey."

Immediately afterwards, he looked at Lockhart and said, "Professor Lockhart, do you want to try the bar owner's specialty?"

After Lockhart heard it, he smiled and shook his head to express his refusal.

Then he said to the waiter next to him: "The cost of the wine will be charged to my account, and I will treat you today."

After hearing this, Grindelwald squinted his eyes, seeming to hear Lockhart's emphasis on who is the host and who is the guest.

Then he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Professor Lockhart."

"Mr. Prophet." Lockhart seemed curious, but actually asked tentatively: "From what you said just now, it seems that you have been to the Pig's Head Bar before, and you are familiar with it?"

"Indeed, I am very familiar with the boss here." Grindelwald said with a smile and nodded.

After Lockhart heard it, he thought to himself.

He knew that the boss here was the younger brother of Principal Dumbledore.

He is very familiar with his brother, does that mean that he is also very familiar with Dumbledore? This may not be possible, it can only be said that it is possible.

However, it seems impossible to make a judgment based on this information alone.

Thoughts flashed, Lockhart continued to probe with a smile: "Mr. Prophet, what's your name?"

"When I saw your name on the envelope, I thought you were a sorcerer who specialized in divination, but I learned from the contents of the letter that you have such in-depth research on ancient runes. "

"Professor Lockhart, please continue to call me a prophet." Grindelwald replied with a smile, "You guessed it right, I do have strong research in divination."

"Oh." Lockhart seemed a little surprised: "I see. To be honest, I am quite curious about divination."

"I once talked to Professor Trelawney who teaches Divination at Hogwarts."

"Unfortunately, I don't have much talent in this area."

After hearing this, Grindelwald said with emotion: "Indeed, divination depends on talent."

"But as a divination scientist, I feel that the unknown is the best choice."

Lockhart had a strange look on his face when he heard the prophet's words of Versailles.

What is unknown is the best choice?

According to his reasoning, it is best for him not to know the future plot.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few more words.

Lockhart tested the other party's identity, but was deftly turned back by the other party.

At the same time, the waiter at the bar brought a plate.

In the wine glass in the middle of the plate, there is a blue wine with a bright blue flame burning on it, which is the flame whiskey.

"Sir, please enjoy." The waiter skillfully took out the wine glass and placed it on the table, saying respectfully.

"Okay." Grindelwald nodded, and said a word indifferently.

He doesn't dislike squibs, it's just that they don't have much value.

However, the future is not certain. The appearance of the idea of ​​meditation has given this group of people hope again.

Seeing this, Lockhart was not surprised. Most of the mainstream of the wizarding world looked down on Squibs.

Especially the middle-aged old monster in front of him, who had lived for an unknown number of years, had a cold and normal attitude.

"Hmm." Grindelwald took a sip of the flame whiskey and said with emotion, "Sure enough, it still tastes familiar."

Lockhart jokingly said, "It seems that Mr. Prophet hasn't come to the British wizarding world for a while."

"Would you like to take this opportunity to have a good time?"

"That's not necessary." Grindelwald refused directly: "I have seen the familiar scenery, and some old people don't want to see it."

Hearing what the other party said, Lockhart didn't continue to ask.

After all, the other party clearly refused, so it would be inappropriate for him to mention this again.

Simply, take this opportunity to start the topic.

"Oh, in that case, it seems that this time Mr. Prophet came to the British witch world, he should have great expectations for my meditation method."

"I believe that the meditation method will not disappoint you, Mr. Prophet." Lockhart said after taking a sip of butter beer.

"Yes, when I learned about Professor Lockhart and the meditation method he created, it really gave me a huge surprise." Grindelwald seemed to be a little emotional.

"Then what are you interested in?" Lockhart asked softly, "If possible, we can have a good chat."

After hearing the question, Grindelwald was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about the topic of communication.

at the same time
boom!
Grindelwald tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

In an instant, a transparent ripple covered the surrounding area.

Lockhart felt quiet, and at the same time realized that the conversation between the two of them might not be heard by others.

Seeing this, Lockhart continued to look at the opposite Mr. Prophet with great interest.

It seems that the content of today's chat may be very interesting.

"Actually, I'm more interested in you, Professor Lockhart." Grindelwald said pointedly.

"How to say?" Lockhart laughed at himself: "Although I was an explorer and writer before, such an experience should not be meaningful to top wizards."

"You can't say that." Grindelwald praised: "Professor Lockhart, you have researched the method of meditation. The runes contained in it can be said to open up a new path in the field of runes. .”

"Not to mention the meditation method you pioneered, which can give Squibs the ability to cast spells."

"If there are no accidents in the future, there should be no shortage of titles like the father of runes."

Hearing the other party's praise, Lockhart showed a modest smile on his face, and said: "Then it depends on the future development, and more importantly, whether my research can help the entire wizarding world."

"Your research has been of great help." Grindelwald said meaningfully: "It even exceeded my expectations."

After hearing that, Lockhart smiled and didn't continue talking.

And Grindelwald continued to ask: "Professor Lockhart, we communicated in letters before."

"I found that you are very interested in the relationship between ancient runes and runes."

"Can you talk about your views on these two runes?"

"The relationship between ancient runes and runes?" Facing the prophet's question, Lockhart pondered for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and said slowly: "I personally think that if we regard runes as Interpretation of magic, interpretation of the world"

"Or, to be more precise, think of it as a magical word, language"

"Then, the ancient runes and runes are two languages ​​and two characters for the same thing."

"I wonder how much you know about the Muggle world?"

Lockhart asked briefly, and continued without waiting for a reply.

"Mr. Prophet, there are many powerful countries in the Muggle world, and some countries use different characters."

"For example, in the country of Hua far in the east, they use Chinese characters, while in the UK where we are, they use English, or letters."

"Although they can also interpret things."

"However, because of differences in grammar, fonts, etc., the effects are also different."

"I once read a paper written by a Muggle scholar. He mentioned an interesting point of view. The words used by Huaguo can subconsciously cultivate people's sensibility and stimulate people's inspiration and creativity. This is why Huaguo became the world's The reason for the overlord."

"The English letters commonly used in the West cultivate people's rationality and lay the foundation for the development of Muggle science and technology."

"Through this simple case, it can be seen that although things can be described, different words have different effects on people."

"This is the case with ancient runes and runes."

"According to my research, rune runes have many advantages compared to rune runes. For example, they will help a lot in terms of spiritual power, resonance of magic power, and transformation of magic power."

"Comparatively speaking, although the ancient rune rune is not as good as the rune rune in these aspects, it still has a lot of magic."

"For example, in terms of material transformation, rune runes are difficult to achieve, while ancient runes can easily transform material forms, just like the transformation spell we cast."

"and also."

"."

"If the ancient runes and runes can be combined in the future"

"."

"The basic work of meditation is done well now, but the core still relies on runes. I think runes should play a similar role in it."

"."

Later, Lockhart and Grindelwald talked about their research on runes and ancient runes.

Lockhart believes that if you want to attract an old monster in the wizarding world like the Prophet, if you don't throw some dry stuff, the other party will definitely not do anything.

And the first thing he threw out, although it was his own research on runes, he believed that this would more or less arouse the other party's curiosity.

Grindelwald at this moment was quietly listening to Lockhart's explanation.

how to say?

The other party is worthy of being a professor who teaches young wizards. He has a good level of lectures, and he can outline the special features of runes in a few simple words.

However, after hearing the later stage, he could also clearly feel the other party's future vision for the fusion of rune runes and ancient rune runes.

Of course, there is also the invitation message distributed in the words.

While listening to Lockhart's narration, Grindelwald enriched the image of the other party in his mind.

He found that this person has a deep academic background, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a professional scholar.

This is not surprising to him. After all, he can come up with meditation ideas. This kind of cross-age research results has problems only if his academic skills are not deep.

I didn't get much other information.

This is not surprising to him, after all, the subject of their discussion is runes.

After thinking about it, I began to guide subtly.

"Among them, there is a rune rune that is also the core key rune of the meditation method. I call it the soul-absorbing rune."

"Long-term visualization of this rune can improve spiritual power. This is the core of the rune rune's ability to develop meditation."

"if."

"Professor Lockhart, I read a report before. You mentioned the problems facing the wizarding world in the future, and you think that meditation can be solved."

"Can you talk in detail about your views on the future of the wizarding world?"
