Homecoming from Hogwarts

Dumbledore changed his wand.

An elder wand. This wand was obviously not made by Ollivander or his father.

But why?
Generally speaking, the wand used before entering school will accompany the wizard throughout his life. It is the wizard's closest comrade and companion. Under normal circumstances, it will not be replaced at all, but Dumbledore changed his wand.

As far as Dumbledore is concerned, there are only two situations. One is that his wand was damaged in some way, for example, in the duel with Grindelwald, so he customized the wand. But this The possibility of this situation is very small. The wizards in the British wizarding community are already used to Ollivander's wand. Even if it is re-customized, he should go to Ollivander.

The second scenario is more reasonable. Grindelwald found the Elder Wand among the Three Holy Artifacts, and in the final duel, he lost to Dumbledore. According to the inheritance rules of the Elder Wand, Dumbledore obtained the Elder Wand. The most powerful wand is rumored to be an elder wand.

The atmosphere in the office became silently depressed. Amosta's eyebrows were slightly sunk, and his eyes were as heavy as the ocean.

Open the door of death and go to the Star Sea. The 'slate of destiny' left by Merlin in the centaur secret realm is still in his body. Amosta can't find it and doesn't know its purpose, but he He wasn't too worried. If Merlin wanted to harm him, he wouldn't have to bother with the four founding giants of Hogwarts to guide him.

There is your way back in the starry sky - he has never forgotten this revelation left by Merlin.

But Amosta has always had doubts. He almost confirmed what the Four Giants and Merlin wanted him to do in the starry sky. The revelation left by Merlin was probably an inducement, but if...if he didn't accept this inducement Instead of staying in this magical world?

Amosta does not believe that this world will be destroyed unexpectedly, and if he has no thoughts about the world he came from, then he does not need to take such a big risk to go to the stars unless something happens in the future that prompts him to do so.

So what will it be?

After a long contemplation, Amosta shook his head slightly and gave up thinking. There was no point in dwelling on completely unknown things that would happen in the future.

But if he really goes to the stars, it means that he must put away the Three Sacred Artifacts to wrap up the Resurrection Stone that has become Voldemort's Horcrux. This also includes the Elder Wand, which is most likely in Dumbledore's hand.

Thinking of this, Amosta's light purple eyes flashed with hesitation.
Does the way the Elder Wand changes hands mean that sooner or later he will have to have a real showdown with Dumbledore before he can get the wand from him?

This is not something to look forward to.

It would be fine if the need to go to the stars happened after Voldemort was finished. If it happened before that, Voldemort was not finished yet, and he would have to fight Dumbledore to the death!
Amosta suddenly thought of something, which made his deep eyes brighten.

He wants to get the Elder Wand, but not to control it, but to use it as the key to the door of death. He only needs to get it, and does not need to follow the rules of the Elder Wand's change of ownership.

However, it must be confirmed whether Dumbledore's wand is the Elder Wand, so as not to make any mistakes. It cannot be ruled out that Grindelwald specially customized an elder wand because he particularly admired the Elder Wand, and Dumbledore In order to mourn his lost love and brotherhood, Lido took away Grindelwald's wand.

After suppressing his thoughts, Amosta looked at Viktor, only to find that the boy was looking at him in fear.

"Oh, don't worry--"

Amosta smiled and waved his hand.

"I was just thinking about some questions. Where were we?"

"Professor the Mark of Grindelwald."

Krum said uneasily.

"Oh, mark--" Amosta breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the sofa, and said gently,

"That's right, the mark you see doesn't actually come from Grindelwald. It appears in earlier history and is related to some legendary magic items. I think Grindelwald is very obsessed with the history of these items. Think of that mark as your own symbol. You see, this is a misunderstanding.”

"Ancient magic item——"

There was confusion in Krum's murmur. Apparently, he had not heard that the symbol was related to any legendary items. However, he did understand that he had indeed misunderstood something.

"Oh, sorry, Professor—"

Krum put down the teacup, stood up from the sofa, and bowed his back with an apologetic expression, "I shouldn't have insulted you by saying something in front of Hermione Granger before I knew it clearly. Statement of speech.”

Karkaroff was really useless, but he did teach a good student.

Amosta smiled and waved his hand, motioning for Krum to sit down.

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. That's it. I called you over. There is one more thing I want to confirm with you. Viktor——"

Amosta stopped smiling and said calmly but seriously,
"You have seen everything that happened this morning, Viktor, this is the current situation. What do you think of the Triwizard Tournament?"

Looking at Krum who was still a little confused, Amosta explained softly,
"From my personal point of view, I hope that the Triwizard Tournament can continue to be held, not only because of the reasons I described this morning, but also because it would be detrimental to the first tournament in centuries to be suspended midway. The reputation of Hogwarts, but this is my own opinion after all. Among the three participating schools, Durmstrang is in the worst situation. If you...if you are unwilling to continue participating, I have no right to force you. "

Krum understood, and he spread his eyebrows with a sinister nature - respect flashed in his heart.

In this country, the dark wizard whose name cannot even be mentioned is back. Although he has not personally experienced the terror caused by the dark wizard, he has heard many stories about him. He probably knows what the return of the devil means to this country. What.

War will soon break out in this country, and Amosta Brain will definitely lead the resistance among the wizards who do not want to live under tyranny.

For Amosta Brain, he was currently entangled with many things and had countless things to do, but he still called him over and asked him as an equal whether he was willing to continue participating in the Triwizard Tournament, even if The answer he got was not in line with his wishes.

But his relaxed brows quickly furrowed again. Krum hesitated, his eyes darkened.
"Professor Karkaroff really."

"I trust Harry not to lie."

Amosta said in a low tone,
"Furthermore, if you know something about Professor Karkaroff's past and Voldemort, you should know that it is impossible for Karkaroff to gain Voldemort's forgiveness—"

Krum nodded heavily, and then fell into silence again.

Amosta didn't urge him, he just waited quietly.

"But even if we want to continue to participate, Professor Blaine Durmstrang has lost his principal, and we don't know how to continue,"

Krum hesitated,

"The competition also lost its referee for a while."

"You don't have to worry about that, Viktor--"

Amosta said calmly,

"I had already started working on this before you came. I found a new headmaster for Durmstrang. Of course, I need to interview him to make sure this can happen, but I'm sure he will agree-"

Got a new principal for Durmstrang?
Krum was a little dazed. He knew that Professor Braine had great prestige in the European wizarding community, but to arrange a principal for another magic school with the same status as Hogwarts, Professor Braine himself was only the student safety office of Hogwarts. Where is the director?
There was doubt in his mind, but Krum didn't express it openly.

In his heart, he hopes that the competition can continue. It is like a fierce Quidditch match that is interrupted in the middle of the schedule. Neither the audience nor the players can accept it.

In the end, Krum agreed. Before leaving, his dull expression finally faded a little, and he showed a restrained smile to Amosta.
"I will tell people the truth, Professor Brain. Although your Minister of Magic does not want to believe that the dark wizard has returned, I believe that this is the truth of the matter."

"Thank you very much for your trust, Viktor, and I wish you a good result in your third competition."

After being slightly surprised, Amosta said with a smile.
