I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

The Grindelwald in front of him looked slightly younger, and the smile on his face was more obvious.

Sean was stunned for a moment, then realized that this Grindelwald was Stephanie's memory.

There has been some kind of change in the girl's memory and soul world. Otherwise, Sean would not be able to talk and communicate with the characters in his memory.

Obviously, this Grindelwald was the one who took Stephanie away from the orphanage.

The moment Grindelwald appeared, little Stephanie, who had been holding hands with Sean, showed a confused look, and huge confusion surged on her immature face.

She looked at Sean, who was holding her hand, and then at Grindelwald in front of her, seemingly caught in a tangle.

Along with little Stephanie's confusion, the world built by memory seemed to be shaking. Whether it was the orphanage, the black humanoid, or the slightly younger Grindelwald, there were obvious distortions and instability.

Only Sean's soul and body remained solid, and similarly, little Stephanie's body did not appear unstable.

Sean frowned and then relaxed, he understood what was going on here.

The little Stephanie in front of her is actually not a memory, but Stephanie's own soul. Due to the changes caused by guilt, her soul and memory are intertwined.

The world that Sean enters is not Stephanie's clear memory. It contains the images, scenes and her personal emotional expressions in her memory.

Otherwise, the other images in the orphanage would not be so distorted - those children were the people who had bullied her, and the adult figure, probably the administrator of the orphanage, obviously did not treat Stephanie very well. .

The little girl has shown extraordinary wisdom and maturity beyond her age since she was a child, so in her memory, the children who bullied her are surrounded by black mist, and the managers who condone all this are completely black.

Grindelwald's figure was not stained with other colors, which shows that Grindelwald took Stephanie away from the orphanage.

No wonder, even if Grindelwald touched Stephanie's memory and even sacrificed her to win power for Sean, the girl did not show any hatred or complaint - she had always voluntarily paid for Grindelwald because it was the other party. Took her out of an ugly place.

Therefore, the self that just appeared actually assumed the existence of Grindelwald in Stephanie's memory, and now, the appearance of Grindelwald in Stephanie's memory caused Stephanie to become confused.

Thinking of this, Sean stepped sideways and stood in front of little Stephanie, with a bright and gentle smile: "This place has nothing to do with you anymore, I'll take you away."

Little Stephanie was stunned. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded vigorously.

It seemed that some instinct was telling him that the handsome man in front of him was not the one he was waiting for, but there was also a certain sense of love and familiarity urging him that it was him.

In the end, little Stephanie held Sean's hand firmly, and the two of them walked out of the orphanage slowly.

The buildings behind and the figures inside were crumbling, and the scene was passing by like a revolving lantern.

Sean lowered his head, and the little Stephanie beside him had disappeared. When he looked up again, a towering castle appeared in front of him.

Nurmengard...

It seems that Grindelwald took Stephanie back to Nurmengard first.

Following the only clear path, Sean came to Grindelwald's office.

Inside the room, Stephanie, who had changed into a long black uniform dress, was sitting quietly in the corner, holding a thick book in her hand.

The figure of Grindelwald standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window seemed to be talking to himself and to Stephanie.

"The world is beginning to change -" Grindelwald's voice was a little distorted, but some of his inner emotions could still be clearly heard, seeming to be expecting, confused, and a little serious, "When the new wave comes, Maybe I can prove to Albus that I am the one in the right direction...are you right, Stephanie?"

The little girl quietly read the page she wanted to read, and then closed the page: "I don't know, but what you said should be right, sir."

Grindelwald was not angry, he smiled: "You are such an interesting little girl..."

"So, what are you going to do now about what you told me before?" Stephanie asked calmly.

"It's time to start, but I don't ask too much from you -" Grindelwald said softly.

"Please say."

"Go to Hogwarts and do something for me."

"OK."

"Why don't you ask more?" Grindelwald turned around with a smile on his face.

Stephanie lifted the hem of her skirt, and her voice was extremely calm, with an almost scary "no desire and no desire": "This is what I should do."

"Including letting you die?" Grindelwald was still smiling.

Stephanie nodded: "Of course."

Grindelwald's smile became less enthusiastic, but became gentle again, with a reassuring flavor: "It seems that I made the right choice not to ask about your experiences in the past."

"But that is in the past, although it remains in my memory -" Stephanie didn't seem to have any fear or joy of "escaping from danger", she was just so calm.

"It's really interesting... By the way, I don't think I told you about your life experience? In those books you have read before, there should be a wand manufacturer mentioned, right? The most famous one in Britain is your grandfather, you Her full name is Stephanie Ollivander."

The little girl's eyes did not waver at all, she just expressed her gratitude.

"In a few days, you will be reunited with your long-lost grandfather. You should act happy."

"I will try my best."

"I like this answer. Go and rest. You don't have to read this book here all the time. I'll give it to you."

"Thank you, sir."

Stephanie turned and walked away, pausing only at the last moment.

"What's wrong?" Grindelwald smiled gently.

"The only question, sir, why did you know I was there?" Stephanie asked.

"What a coincidence, this is the answer I'm looking for." Grindelwald touched his short beard, "Someone reminded me, but I don't know who that person was and how he reminded me."

Stephanie, who was standing at the door, and Sean, who had been listening quietly, thought about the meaning of this sentence at the same time.

Apparently, this was the arrangement that Grindelwald had made when he traveled through a hundred years. How many memory switches and hints had this old man set for himself... Sean cursed.

Stephanie stood silently for a while, then nodded and left.

Sean followed her, and this time, it seemed that he didn't need to interfere with Stephanie's memory anymore.

He suspected that he might have to follow the other person's memory to the end before he could truly touch the other person's soul world.

Sure enough, as Stephanie slowly moved forward, the scene began to twist and change again.

Sean witnessed Mr. Ollivander, who had lost news of his son due to an "accident", meet his own granddaughter. The former cried with joy, but the little girl just patted the old man on the back mechanically, seeming to comfort him. .

The Ollivander family finally has an heir, and the overcrowded but empty wand shop feels a little warmer.

Mr. Ollivander loves his granddaughter, and Stephanie also plays the role well. At least she can make the old man feel some comfort of family affection at the right time - even though she herself has no concept of family affection.

Sean could see clearly from the side that Stephanie was like a robot.

Her ability to enchant is getting stronger and stronger. She has no friends, and only books as companions. Occasionally, when she goes out, she will get scary looks from the adult wizards in Diagon Alley, but she doesn't even have the intention to accuse them - this is caused by her ability. Yes, it was not those people who took the initiative.

Of course, there are also those who take the initiative, such as the children of the shop owners in Diagon Alley. They all don't like this girl who is very beautiful and knows how to please adults. However, every time they want to cause trouble for her, in the end they just stare at her infatuatedly.

They didn't realize it until after the fact, which made the disgust even worse.

Of course, Stephanie has no intention of making friends. She has almost no concept of emotion, does not dislike others, and does not care about others' dislike.

She is a machine loyal to Grindelwald, and her motivations are all derived from the concept of repaying gratitude - only reading is what she really likes to do.

Time is passing slowly, and Stephanie is still deserted. She still doesn't understand much about 'emotions'. However, her clever mind allows her to identify other people's attitudes towards her, such as Mr. Ollivander, She is willing to give back to those who treat her well.

After all, no one has been kind to themselves since the beginning of memory.

The memory is still changing, Stephanie entered Hogwarts, and the moment she was selected into Ravenclaw, she received a lot of applause.

However, she soon discovered that the professors were somewhat defensive about her, even though they were not bad towards her.

And those wizards with magical powers also started the same journey as those of the same age they had encountered before.

Amazement, enthusiasm, obsession, doubt, surprise, disgust, displeasure...

She still had no friends and felt like an outlier among the independent Ravenclaws.

But she still didn't care.

Occasionally she would report her observations to Grindelwald, and then attend classes and read books. This was her whole life.

The scene was still passing by, and suddenly the colors became a little brighter.

Sean saw himself, his younger self and his father appearing at the door of Ollivander's Wand Shop.

This is their first encounter.

Stephanie still maintained the habit of reading a page before finishing it, and then habitually observed the boy who walked in the door.

Handsome, polite, and elegant, he is a likeable gentleman.

But Stephanie can clearly see some things hidden under the excellent skin of the other party, such as arrogance and violent instincts.

But this still has nothing to do with myself.

He would still be immersed in his own charm, although he broke away quickly, and although he did not show disgust or worry, Stephanie knew that it would be a matter of time.

No matter what kind of person the other person becomes, it has nothing to do with you.

The scene twisted again, and Grindelwald's voice sounded.

"Go get close to Sean Wallop and observe his personality, behavioral patterns, etc."

"Okay." Stephanie agreed without any hesitation.

She began to contact a boy named Sean Wallop, trying various methods to close the distance between the two - however, Stephanie, who did not know how to make friends, was a little clumsy and could only do her best.

Then she began to be surprised to find that the boy was becoming more and more resistant to her own charm. Many times, he could already face her without changing his expression.

Moreover, he never seemed to show any disgust towards himself, even after being charmed several times.

He always smiled warmly, and occasionally showed some helplessness, but Stephanie began to notice it.

The other person is making friends with me, sincerely, not mixed with other things.

This made Stephanie feel slightly guilty and uneasy, especially since she had already cooperated with Grindelwald in doing some things aimed at him.

Then, Christmas arrived.

She hesitated for a long time whether to give the monocle from Grindelwald as a gift.

In the end, she chose to do it.

She could never forget the other person's sincere gratitude for receiving the gift, and she couldn't forget the gift she received in return.

A beautifully made bookmark with a cute unicorn printed on it. When you open the book, the unicorn will happily run down on the unfolded bookmark and then stop at the line of text you were reading before. .

Then, everything happened.

Sean stood in front of him and asked her: "Do you know about that monocle?"

She hesitated for the first time, but finally nodded.

She could clearly see the disappointment and displeasure in the other person's eyes.

It was completely different from the disgust she had seen in other people's eyes before.

She had thought a lot about it and various possible situations, but she had not thought of this.

His disappointment and disgust stem from betrayal.

It turns out that he already considers himself a friend.

Stephanie thought for a long time after going back, and then realized that she seemed to have just made her first friend in her life.

Then he pushed him away with his own hands.

The real Sean looked at Stephanie, who was sitting on the bed holding her knees and sitting in a daze, with emotions flashing in his eyes.

The memory scene began to distort again, and the colors gradually became darker.

Sean, Sean, Sean.

In every scene that follows, Sean is always there.

The color of memory is distorted and dark, and then gradually begins to brighten again.

The things they had experienced together really appeared before Sean's eyes again. The difference was that he could see what Stephanie was doing more clearly.

She was looking at Sean, just looking at him.

Finally, the memory came to the last paragraph.

Stephanie rides a broomstick, targeting the castle that could put Sean in danger.

Then, an invisible darkness suddenly hit me, and my consciousness became completely dark.

Sean breathed a sigh of relief. At least, there were no other problems with the memory along the way. Next, he could come into contact with Stephanie's real soul world.

The scene became distorted again.

Instead of the world Sean expected, another scene emerged.

A tall, charming silver-haired girl stood in the ruins, crying desperately.
