I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 316 Revisiting Durmstrang

"I want to protect my current life, father, mother, and you." Hermione stared at the ceiling blankly, her eyes seemed to reflect countless happiness and beauty.

Ian watched this scene quietly and said, "I will teach you after I return to school in a few days."

"Okay!" Hermione smiled.

"Where are your parents? I didn't see them just now." Ian looked around and asked curiously.

"They went to Wimbledon, where Aunt Anna and her family are living. This trip will take at least a day or two before they come back."

A day or two?After hearing Hermione's answer, Ian pondered for a moment and then asked:

"Are you interested in visiting Durmstrang? Although it is the Christmas holiday, there should be many people there who choose to stay in school."

"Of course!" Hermione replied with gleaming eyes. "It began recruiting students in 1294. Durmstrang, one of the three most prestigious universities in Europe, is located at the northernmost tip of the European continent..."

Hermione spoke the relevant information quickly, but suddenly stopped explaining and said with some worry:
"I remember Durmstrang is a school famous for dark arts, and... they never admit people like me. Can I still go?"

"Don't worry, Durmstrang has changed the principal, and you can go wherever you want." Ian explained with a smile.

In fact, he knew the inside story very well. There were many reasons why Durmstrang refused to recruit wizards from Muggle families.

But the most important thing is the fear of betrayal. Witch hunting was prevalent in the Middle Ages. Many young wizards from Muggle families were instigated by their families to rebel. Unlike pure-blood young wizards, these Muggle children were easily bewitched.

After instigating rebellion, the little wizard teamed up with his family members and pretended to invite his classmates to his home, knocked them unconscious without warning, and then used these pure-blood children in exchange for rewards.

You know, some adult wizards will be ambushed by a few well-trained soldiers in panic, let alone these children who are still studying.

Therefore, after losing countless students, Durmstrang decided to permanently reject students from Muggle families, which was similar to Salazar Slytherin's choice.

In fact, many things are two sides of the same coin.This is also why pureblood wizards look down on Muggles, ridicule them, and even call them mudbloods.

The grudges between the two that have lasted for hundreds of years are not easy to dissipate.

However, it is meaningless to explore right and wrong now.Especially after Grindelwald became the principal of Durmstrang, he abolished the previous decree.

Starting next year, Durmstrang will recruit students across Europe and will no longer screen for bloodlines.

Closer to home.

After receiving a confirmed answer, Hermione went upstairs to change clothes and prepare to go to see this legendary prestigious school with Ian.

He had planned to go to Durmstrang for a long time. The letter Dumbledore gave actually contained the shadow of Grindelwald, which he already knew after receiving the letter.

Therefore, when replying to the letter, part of the content was also addressed to Grindelwald.

"Ding~deng!"

There was a burst of footsteps on the stairs, which was the sound of Hermione coming downstairs after changing her clothes.

Considering that Durmstrang is located at the northernmost point of Europe, close to the Arctic Circle, Hermione chose to keep warm as much as possible.

A khaki velvet coat tightly wrapped the girl's slender body, and she wore a pair of laminated Martin boots on her feet.

Although Hermione wore several pieces of clothing under her coat, she didn't look bulky at all.

This is actually due to her tall figure, which has accelerated her growth in the past six months, so that her height has exceeded 165, and now she is almost 170 in boots. "Let's go." Hermione pressed the written note in her hand on the living room table.

……

"Bang~"

After the space shattered, two figures appeared outside Durmstrang Castle.

Ian looked at the snow-covered castle in front of him and was quite shocked. You must know that the last time he came here was in summer, and now Durmstrang in December is even more mysterious and dignified.

On the walls of the castle, white snow covers every corner, like a thin layer of silver sand, reflecting a dreamy golden color under the dusk sunlight.

Like Hogwarts, there are many towers here, but Durmstrang's tower is much taller than Hogwarts. The slender tower rises straight into the sky against the backdrop of snow, just like in a fairy tale. The bridge to heaven.

Ian looked at the closed school door, chuckled and said to Hermione: "It seems we need to notify them."

Then he waved his wand, and red fireworks ignited at the top, rising slowly, and then unfolded in mid-air, showing a pattern of a phoenix flying high.

After a few minutes.

Durmstrang's closed school door was opened from inside, and an old wizard came out.

Under the leadership of the other party, he arrived at the principal's office located in the main building of the castle.

"Do I want to go in too?" Hermione, who was a little reserved along the way, said uncomfortably after seeing the door to the principal's office.

Looking at Hermione who was a little nervous, Ian also realized that even with the blessing of the time turner, he was just a 15-year-old girl in front of him.

"Sorry, I didn't think about it." He apologized to Hermione, and then Ian turned to look at the wizard who was leading the way and said:
"Can you arrange a quiet room for my girlfriend? It would be best if it has a rich collection of books."

"Of course, your request must be met. This is the principal's order." The old wizard said.

"Hermione, you can read a book first, and after you're done here, we can take a walk around Durmstrang together."

……

Watching Hermione's retreating back, Ian also knocked on the door of the principal's office.

"Long time no see, Mr. Grindelwald!"

Compared with a few months ago, Ian found that Grindelwald had changed a lot. Speaking of the first meeting, the other person gave people a feeling of confidence and majesty, but at this time Grindelwald was a little more reserved and dignified. Leisurely.

"Hahaha, long time no see. I thought you would stage a love opera in front of the office." Grindelwald seemed to be in a good mood and said jokingly.

"That's disappointing, she just didn't want to interrupt our conversation."

Ian sat down on the chair next to him and replied with the same relaxed tone. Then he changed the topic and asked:

"Did you crowd out our Hogwarts principal? Nowadays, urban life circles are being established everywhere in the Muggle world. I know Professor Dumbledore. If he were to do this, he would not be able to deal with Muggles so quickly. Gua senior leaders have reached a consensus."

Faced with Ian's joking questioning, Grindelwald showed a rare embarrassment.

"It's not what you think. I didn't bully him. You also saw the content in the letter. In this case, Albus couldn't do it well, so he took the initiative to find me."
