Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse

Chapter 246: Subverted Destiny

"Because of my arrival?"

On the surface, Avada frowned, but in reality, she knew something in her heart—perhaps it was because she, an extraterrestrial visitor with a lot of plot in mind, swooped into this world and messed up her original destiny, right?

"I didn't know it was you at first."

Grindelwald's voice was low: "At first, after the original prophecy shattered, I was a little horrified to find that I seemed to have lost the power of the prophecy - no matter how I read the map and reconnected time and destiny, they did not bring me anything. Come for the slightest feedback. But after a while, I got used to it again. Anyway, I was a prisoner who lost everything. Now, what is there to be afraid of if I lose another prophetic ability? I don’t even care about losing my life. .”

"But gradually, I found that I seemed to be able to communicate with fate and use prophecies, but that only made me more panicked. Because I found that not only the results of my own prophecies, but also all destinies seemed to be equally broken. Falling, so that I can only see some fragments..."

"That's when I realized something was terribly wrong."

"The entire world, at its most fundamental and profound place, has undergone an unprecedented change - when I confirmed this, I almost rushed out of the cell to find Albus or someone else... Until another fragment of the prophecy suddenly popped into my mind."

"Another fragment of the prophecy?"

Avada then became curious: "What is it about?"

"The Deathly Hallows."

Grindelwald's smile seemed a little bitter: "If I guess correctly, this name should be familiar to you."

"..."

Avada didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

"The content of the prophecy fragment I saw was: a teenage boy carefully hid a ring in a box in a dilapidated house."

"And that ring, let alone turned into a Horcrux, even if it has been turned into fragments, I can still recognize it - it is the ancestral ring of the Gaunt family, and it is also the Resurrection Stone, one of the Deathly Hallows."

"And that kid...is me?"

Avada pointed at herself.

"That's right."

Grindelwald sighed: "At that time, I realized that I might have accidentally found the culprit of the broken destiny, or at least someone closely related to him - otherwise there is no reason to explain why a child can be so accurate. After finding the Resurrection Stone, he also realized that there were Horcrux magic and curses on it, and he brought a box specially designed to seal high-risk items in advance..."

"So, as long as we find the child, the problem is equivalent to half solved. At that time, he was holding a wand, wearing decent robes, mastering many magics that were not suitable for his age, and he could also get an expensive one. The sealed box... He has a close relationship with the magical society and is definitely not a wandering wild wizard, which means that his whereabouts can be traced."

He continued to state: "Moreover, the shattering of fate has brought an additional benefit - although no one can make a complete prediction from now on, it is easier to simply see some fragments of possibilities. Quite a few. In addition, as the vice-chancellor of Nobic Ridge University, I can use the school's huge intelligence network to obtain information that corroborates the content of the fragments I saw... so it is easy for me to find it among the many fragments. Those that are most consistent with reality and further observe where they will go in the future.

"So it didn't take long for me to learn who you were - especially since our university also has alumni in the Department of Mysteries."

"etc."

Avada was surprised after hearing Grindelwald's speech: "Are you saying that all prophets can feel the impact of broken destiny? Does that mean... I have become a prophet all over the world? Exposed in front of me?"

"This shouldn't be the case."

Grindelwald shook his head: "First of all, prophet is an extremely rare profession. It's hard to say whether there are more than ten true prophets in the world. Otherwise, do you think I am the only one who can directly influence an era as a prophet? "

"And to predict your existence, I need to give you an opportunity in advance. Because I tracked down the Deathly Hallows in my early years, I was able to observe you through the fate of the Resurrection Stone, but other people... they were not sure. So you don't have to be too cautious. If you’re worried, just keep it in mind just in case something unexpected happens.”

"That's good."

Avada breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued following Grindelwald's previous words: "Then, you sent Professor Baker to Hogwarts just to observe and test me?"

"Yes, but something unexpected happened during the process."

Grindelwald nodded: "Originally, the task I gave Benjamin was to simply observe you, try to find out your true side, and judge whether you would cause harm to the magical society. But I have to say that Benjamin is worthy of being the best person in the past thirty years. One of the best students - he exceeded my expectations with an almost crazy plan, and also brought me an important piece of information."

His eyes narrowed, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly radiated a completely inconsistent light: "You can directly see the magic power, right?"

Avada's pupils suddenly shrank, and the hairs all over her body stood up as if exploding.

Even though he had been mentally prepared for it and knew that some people might have some suspicions about him...but when this secret was revealed directly to his face, he still felt that he was about to feel extremely uneasy. Submerge reason.

Fortunately, now he at least has the power to protect himself, and he doesn't have to worry every day about whether he will be suddenly captured and disemboweled by a big boss one day.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone about this, and I ordered Benjamin to swear an oath to strictly keep it secret."

Grindelwald also seemed to see Avada's suppressed uneasiness, so he explained: "But you also have to be mentally prepared. With Albus's vision and knowledge, plus you have already had such a problem. If you are in the limelight, he will definitely make some guesses about you."

"……I know."

Avada swallowed hard.

This was almost revealed to Dumbledore himself. He had to do this in order to ask for his help to keep Harry and Balon safe.

Although this incident was not fully revealed later - it was said that Dumbledore went to London, but now I think about it, he probably left on his own initiative and waited for Voldemort to jump into the pit, but this also gave Avada a roundabout way. There is room to add an excuse of "American adventurer"... but this is probably not enough to fool Dumbledore. The fact that he gave himself the Alchemy Notes of Nicolémé just like this speaks volumes.

"And you don't have to worry that I will use this to coerce you."

Grindelwald was still trying to resolve his uneasiness: "Through that observation and what you did after that, I judge that you are not a threat to the magical society, and are even of great benefit, and the risks you bring are not uncontrollable... …That’s why I want to meet you directly.”

"The risk? Is it not uncontrollable?"

These two words caught Avada's attention: "What does this mean?"
