Connor's Hogwarts

Dumbledore left Nurmengard with Connor.

Connor didn't dare to ask anything and just followed.

The two of them didn't say a word on the way. Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about something, but Connor hadn't yet figured out why Dumbledore was taking him to see Grindelwald.

It wasn't until the two returned to England that Connor couldn't help but ask: "Professor Dumbledore, why did you take me to see Mr. Grindelwald? Are we... leaving now?"

Dumbledore then said as if he had just woken up from a dream: "Oh, of course, since our goal has been achieved, of course we can leave."

"." Connor looked at Dumbledore seriously, not knowing whether he was telling the truth or lies. Shouldn't you, good brothers, be "tender" after not seeing each other for decades? Connor was mentally prepared to sleep on the street tonight, but he ended up leaving in less than half a day? Connor really can’t understand it.

"What goal have we achieved? Why don't I know." Connor scratched his head. Wasn't it just that the three of them talked about ideals, life, and bragging? How did you achieve your goal?

Dumbledore smiled and said, "You have obtained Gellert's approval, then our goal has been achieved."

"Huh?" Connor was confused: "What do you mean?"

"Hahaha, Gellert doesn't just represent himself. He actually has many supporters behind him. His influence in the magic world in Europe and North America is very great. He is imprisoned in Nurmengard. But there was no one to guard him, and he just confiscated the wand. That was not only because of his strength, but also the result of a compromise between his supporters and the Ministry of Magic."

(Voiceover of Honey Talk: I always feel that I will be slapped in the face after Fantastic Beasts 345 comes out...(3[▓▓])

Dumbledore smiled and said to Connor: "If you get his recognition, it is equivalent to getting the recognition of his supporters. In the future, your Lake family's activities in various countries will go much smoother, and you will also gain harvest from the Ministry of Magic." With the support of another faction in the Ministry, more people in the Ministry of Magic will speak for you, and these benefits are foreseeable."

Connor's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't expect that he could get so much support by just drawing a pie. As expected, people who achieve great things are always bragging. Lao Ma sincerely won't deceive me.

Yes, Connor is painting a pie. He only describes a wonderful future, but does not describe the difficulties that need to be overcome to realize this possible future.

If the future described by Connor is to be truly realized, there are too many problems to be solved.

Although the future described by Connor seems wonderful, not all wizards are willing to accept this future. If Connor's plan is to be truly implemented, he will encounter resistance in the step from the wizarding world to the Muggle world. Shockingly big.

And if you want to make changes, you must obtain the consent of the majority of wizards. Not to mention the entire wizarding world, it is not so easy to unify opinions within the UK alone...

So Dumbledore's "Plan for the Collapse of the British Ministry of Magic" may still be implemented...

The reform steps may take from the United Kingdom to Europe to the entire wizarding world and then to the Muggle world. This is far from being successful in a few years. It will definitely be a long-term process.

Whether Dumbledore and Grindelwald will live to see that day is another matter.

However, even if he could not see the possibility of his "dream" coming true in his lifetime, Grindelwald was still so excited that he followed Connor's lead because he did see the possibility of success.

The "grand picture" Connor showed them allowed them to see hope for the future of wizards. The future described by Connor was the brightest future they could imagine for the wizards as a group, so Grindelwald recognized Connor. And willing to help him.

However, all gifts from fate have already been secretly marked with a price.

It is foreseeable that Connor will eventually pay the price for his bragging.

Connor didn't know that he was seeking death. He didn't realize that he was seeking death many times.

For example now...

"Professor Dumbledore, why don't you stay with Mr. Grindelwald for a while? You are very good friends, right?"

"." The air seemed to freeze all of a sudden, the smile on Dumbledore's face gradually disappeared, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward. Connor knew that he had stepped on a thunderbolt, and he did not dare to speak for a while.

The two of them were silent all the way. Dumbledore took Connor out of Diagon Alley, and then took him on the streets of London to apparate to a strange forest.

Connor was still relieving the discomfort of moving in space, but Dumbledore suddenly spoke, saying:

"We used to be really good friends. But after that incident, I never dared to stay alone with him in person again."

"." Connor didn't dare to say anything.

"Back then... I thought I would create a great career with him and decided to leave with him... But, just when I took my sister, Ariana, to leave with him..." Deng Bullido began to look back on the past:

"My brother, Aberforth, came back. He stopped us. He didn't allow me to take Ariana away. The three of us had an argument and a fight broke out between the three of us..."

Dumbledore closed his eyes: "Then... my poor sister... Ariana... she was... killed in the melee..."

Connor was staggered and said unconsciously: "Did Grindelwald do it?"

"..." Dumbledore was silent. After a long time, he opened his eyes and said, "I don't know... I don't know... That's why I dare not see him... I'm afraid of the truth, kid. I'm not who you think I am." A brave person, sometimes I am far more cowardly than ordinary people..."

Dumbledore's whole body collapsed, he shook his head and murmured:

"Connor Gellert is a dangerous wizard. There is no doubt about this. His research on black magic is unparalleled. He was once lost in the pursuit of power. The more talented wizards are, The easier it is to go astray, I hope you can learn from it.”

Dumbledore was very depressed.

This silence lasted for a long time. After walking in the forest for a long time, Connor finally asked: "We are going to find Mr. Nicoléme, right? Where are we?"

"Huh? This is Devon, I thought you would recognize it."

"Uh" turns out to be near your home? Connor scratched his head: "I usually don't go out, so of course I can't recognize him. Wait, Mr. Nicoléme is in Devon County?"

"Yes, he has been living in seclusion here, but it will take a lot of effort for me to find him. I'm afraid we will have to sleep in the wild tonight."

"Hmm???" In the end, we still have to sleep in the open? So my mental preparation was not in vain? No. I don’t want to sleep in the open with this bad old man! ! !

"Professor, why don't you stay at my house tonight? My house is quite big."
