Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry.

Chapter 338 Chapter 332 I am not discussing this matter with you

The official's hand holding the note was shaking, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.

There was only one sentence on the note.

"A vacation."

Below this sentence is written the other person's name.

Grindelwald

Maybe wizards in other places don't know the name Grindelwald, but as wizards in Austria, they almost grew up hearing stories about this name, and the impact he brought to this land is really great.

Voldemort and the Dark Lord are not as effective in Austria as Grindelwald.

He recognized the handwriting, and it was indeed that person's handwriting, but he should be locked up in the deepest part of the tower now. There were countless magic mechanisms in the tower, and there were Aurors patrolling the outside. They were strictly guarded and controlled at all levels. Not even a fly or a mosquito can fly out. How did he do it? How is it possible?

Has he come out?

In a daze, he seemed to think of a certain legend. Grindelwald was not imprisoned, but was voluntarily imprisoned in a tower, and he could come out at any time if he wanted.

Then he thought about the records about Grindelwald in the Ministry of Magic documents.

Grindelwald has the blood of a prophet and has an eye that can see into the future.

At that time, he still found it incredible.

But now it was indeed happening, right before his eyes.

The simple sentence on the note seemed to have already known the Ministry of Magic's plan, and it was full of threats.

The Ministry of Magic official seemed to see an old wizard with a majestic face and gray hair standing in front of him, saying in an unquestionable tone: I am not discussing this matter with you, I am just informing you.

The tremendous pressure made him breathless.

This matter is no longer something he can handle. He must report this matter as soon as possible. It is really shocking.

"Mr. Dumbledore, I have something urgent that I need to report to the leadership. Please wait a moment."

The Ministry official stood up quickly from his chair.

"He must have written something."

Although he didn't see the content of the note, the mature Dumbledore still didn't know what the other party must have done, otherwise he wouldn't be so frightened.

The official was stunned when he heard Dumbledore's words. Dumbledore knew that he had guessed correctly, so he said with relief: "Don't worry, he didn't come out. He should have passed the news through some other method."

"He's the best at this. He's always been like this."

This tone, as if talking about an old friend, reminded the Ministry of Magic official that Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore.

"Mr. Dumbledore, I need your help."

He said as if grasping at straws.

"For a holiday, these are the only students who go in and leave before school starts."

Dumbledore said that the time he wanted was exactly the same as Grindelwald's, as if it had been agreed upon long ago.

In fact, the two have not seen each other for decades, and have not even exchanged letters.

Theoretically, Grindelwald should not know that he brought Dudley and the others here.

"You can tell the new Minister of Magic, I think he will agree."

The Ministry official left to find his superiors.

An hour later he came with 'good news'.

'A holiday is fine, but you have to leave before term starts, and Dumbledore has to stay in the tower to prevent that dangerous person from doing anything dangerous. '

Dumbledore was silent for a while. Judging from his micro-expression, he didn't want to enter that place, but he still agreed.

"Let's go."

In the deepest part of the Austrian forest, at the junction between the peaks, stands a tall watchtower - Nurmengard Tower, or it is more appropriate to call it Nurmengard Castle.

The famous dark wizard Grindelwald in the wizarding world is imprisoned here.

Calling him imprisoned is just a flattering statement from the Austrian Ministry of Magic, which he claims to the outside world. Strictly speaking, he only lives here and no longer goes out. It should be called 'self-imprisonment'.

He was the only one in the whole prison.

Just like Dumbledore commented in the original work, if he wanted to, even if he was imprisoned in Azkaban, he could escape from prison as easily as leaving his own back garden.

Grindelwald is a wizard of his own level.

As long as they don't want to, there is no one and no place to lock them up.

Moreover, this castle was once the base built by Grindelwald, the place where he started. He once gathered a large number of wizards who had the same dream as him in this castle, and continued to spread his ideas in Europe and even the United States. Ideal, trying to subvert the entire world.

If Dumbledore hadn't resolutely stood on the opposite side, causing the plan to fail, perhaps the entire wizarding world would have become completely different.

"It's a bit eerie, just like the place where some of the villains described in novels live."

Dudley commented as he looked at the gloomy clouds over the castle.

Led by the Austrian Aurors, they arrived at the castle gate.

"Mr. Dumbledore, he is in the deepest part of the castle."

After saying that, the Aurors stood at the door with no intention of continuing to guide them.

"You're not taking us in?" Harry asked in surprise.

Whose jailer takes someone to the prison without taking them halfway?

I didn't even see the cells.

The Auror said seriously: "We are rejected by this castle and cannot move forward."

Harry:?

Being rejected by the castle must be a bullshit excuse, and being rejected by Grindelwald is the truth. However, judging from the normal expressions of the Aurors without any embarrassment, there is a high probability that these Aurors even believed this statement.

The door of the castle was slowly pushed open, and countless dust fell. It was obvious that no one had come in for a long time.

Not long after entering the castle, I heard Ron muttering: "There should be vampires in this kind of castle."

"You should read less novels, Luo Bohu."

Draco looked at him speechlessly: "This is the place where the dark wizard Grindelwald is imprisoned. How can there be such a thing as a vampire?"

Even if it existed before, it was gone the moment the other person moved in.

How could Malfoy, as a pure-blood wizard, not know that the famous dark wizard Grindelwald, and even his grandfather Abraxas Malfoy, might have directly or indirectly participated in one of Grindelwald's gatherings.

In fact, it's not surprising that Ron feels this way. It's obviously noon now, but because of the dark clouds in the sky, looking at the castle has the illusion that it's dusk. If there are a few more red ones on the nearby branches, The crow with squawking eyes gives people the feeling of walking into a horror house.

"Since everyone thinks it's dark."

Dudley said as he put his hand into his pocket and fumbled around inside.

Chapter 339 Chapter 333 Both of us will die in the future

"By the way, Professor Dumbledore, this castle shouldn't be cursed like Hogwarts, right?"

"For example, those electronic products will break down inexplicably."

Dudley stopped fumbling in his pockets and asked Dumbledore.

"No." Dumbledore shook his head: "There is no such complicated spell here."

That guy paid more attention to the tools used by Muggles than ordinary wizards. It was because of his influence that he looked at wizards born as Muggles in a different light.

Dumbledore once had a relatively happy family. His parents still had a younger brother and a younger sister. However, everything changed when his younger sister cast a spell and was seen by Muggles. Three Muggles attacked Ariana Dumbledore. Blido did something very outrageous, which caused her magic to go out of control. In order to teach those Muggles a lesson, her father vented his anger on Ariana. By chance, he was discovered and arrested by members of the Ministry of Magic who happened to be passing by, and was sent to Azkaban. Until his death, his mother was accidentally killed due to a certain magical uprising of his sister. It can be said that Dumbledore's family was destroyed by Muggles.

After experiencing this, Dumbledore's earlier attitude towards Muggles was far from friendly.

It was because of Grindelwald that he was willing to get to know Muggles again.

After receiving Dumbledore's approval, Dudley took out a slightly bulky looking guy.

Then Dudley took out a few smaller black 'sticks' from his pocket and handed them to Harry and the others.

"What is this?" Draco asked curiously.

It's a bit like a civilized staff, but not that long. I put it next to my ear and shook it. It seems to be hollow inside?

"Click here?"

Ron asked, pointing to the button on the 'stick'. Draco came over curiously and watched Ron press it.

At that moment, Ron and Draco saw the light.

The appearance of strong light temporarily blinded the two people who were standing in front of them. Tears flowed down their faces. They squatted down as a reflex and began to rub their eyes repeatedly. It took a while before they regained their vision.

Strong light flashlight, whoever uses it knows the lighting effect.

Although Dudley could achieve the same effect or even better by using 'illumination' with his fingers, why use magic when he could achieve the goal with tools?

"magic."

Ron held a strong flashlight and shone it here and there, as if a child had discovered a new toy and was having a great time playing with it.

He knew about flashlights. His father Arthur had also obtained them as tools used by Muggles for lighting, but the effect was not much better than fluorescent flashes. Compared with the effect he had now, it was like heaven and earth. .

Even Neville couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "Harry, this thing is much easier to use than the wand."

"Draco, eat my great glorious sword!"

Ron shined a flashlight on Draco: "You're dead."

"childish."

Draco rolled his eyes at him angrily, and then decisively pointed his flashlight at Ron: "I am the Radiant Excalibur, yours is fake, Romney Optoelectronics."

The two of them just took a photo of me and I took a photo of you, and then it turned into a "photoelectric" battle between five people.

Seeing a few people fighting and quarreling, Hermione held her forehead helplessly and complained: "The boy is so childish."

Men are teenagers until they die, not to mention they are not adults yet.

As soon as the five bright flashlights (Dumbledore didn't ask for them) came out and they were fighting and joking along the way, most of the eerie atmosphere was immediately dispelled. Just like how to deal with the Boggart, the best way to deal with fear is joy, no Those who knew it thought they were here for an outing, although that's fine.

Holding a strong flashlight in his hand, Ron felt more confident than ever before. Even if a ghost or something really jumped out of the castle, Ron would still have the confidence to blind the other person's eyes. Although the ghost will not be affected by the physical level, it will. Influenced by other aspects, it is obvious that strong light flashlights are obviously included in this list.

Soon they finished exploring the outer city of the castle and found nothing. Going deeper, they entered the interior of the castle.

"Dudley, take them in."

Dumbledore stopped when he was in the castle hall. He knew that further up was where the man was, and he could not go any further.

Harry was surprised: "Professor, won't you go in with us?"

"I will wait for you outside," Dumbledore said.

"Remember, except for magical knowledge, no matter what that man tells you, don't believe it."

"Absolutely don't believe it."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, he heard an old and magnetic voice.

"We haven't seen each other for 50 years, five months and ten days. It's quite sad to hear you describe me like this." A gray-haired old man appeared behind a few people without any warning, as if he appeared out of thin air.

The most eye-catching thing are the eyes of this old man. One eye is dark and the other is light. It is a rare heterochromatic pupil.

There can only be one person who can appear here at this time and place - the legendary dark wizard Grindelwald.

The moment Grindelwald appeared, Dumbledore had already turned his back, unwilling to see him.

He didn't want to go up any more because he didn't want to see the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party actually came down.

It seems that they were discovered when they entered the castle. It is understandable when you think about it, he has been in this castle for more than half a century.

Grindelwald was wearing a black robe, which was his favorite color. It was spotless, as clean as new, and there was no trace of the image of a prisoner at all.His hair was a little sparse, but it was combed very neatly, and it was obvious that he had been groomed.

Otherwise, Grindelwald would be combing his hair every day in the castle.

"You remember it really clearly."

Dumbledore said calmly: "I have almost forgotten how long it has been."
