Marvel's Hogwarts Professor

Chapter 283 The first meeting with Grindelwald (4900)

Nurmengard, Castle Study.

The white-haired Gertler Grindelwald, wearing a dark blue trench coat, stretched out his wand and tapped the opposite wall gently.

A silent transformation spell was quietly released, and a huge mirror immediately appeared on the wall in front of him.

Looking at my somewhat older self in the mirror, and my somewhat messy white hair.

Grindelwald seemed a little emotional.

Then, he gently touched his hands upwards from both sides of his face to the top of his head.

In an instant, the messy white hair began to become clean and smooth, and then slowly stood up. At the same time, the slightly old face began to regain its youth.

Looking at the familiar face in the mirror, Grindelwald showed an expression of recollection on his face, and soon, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

Immediately, he called out softly: "Nubi."

In an instant, the eagle Nubi standing aside waved his wings, soared into the air, and landed on Grindelwald's shoulders.

At the same time, his eyes were looking straight at himself on the other side of the mirror, as if he was curious or narcissistic.

He originally looked like this - fierce, strong, and mighty!

When Grindelwald saw the appearance of the eagle Nubi, the corners of his mouth curled up.

This eagle is a magical creature that was cultivated during these years of self-imprisonment and boredom.

He integrated the transformation magic he had studied over the years into this eagle.

Give it the talent to change into various forms.

It can be called an excellent piece of work.

but

There is something to do today.

Immediately, with a gentle wave of his hand, the mirror was reshaped into the wall, and Nobby the eagle stood on Grindelwald's shoulders.

Then

With a slight fluctuation of magic power, Grindelwald's originally black right eye pupil gradually turned into silvery white.

At the same time, in his field of vision, densely packed threads of different colors appeared over the entire castle or the entire Nurmengard.

Red, green, yellow, black and other colors are mixed with each other.

These threads of different colors, composed of pure magic power, move according to strange trajectories, forming complex rune patterns that are constantly changing one after another.

It shrouded the entire Nurmengard, as if preventing someone from leaving.

Seeing this, Grindelwald had a contemptuous smile on his face.

After forty or fifty years, how much do you look down on him to think that a magic can trap him forever.

As early as 30 years ago, he could come and go freely.

It's just that I'm frustrated and don't want to go out again.

Because even if you go out, there is no point. The future cannot be changed, everything is fixed.

but

Gilderoy Lockhart, a man who is not in the future, comes up with a study on magic that does not exist in the future.

And the gradually chaotic future it brings.

It was enough to awaken his dusty heart.

All for the greatest good! ! !

"Nubi." Grindelwald whispered again, and the eagle Nuby seemed to sense something.

As Grindelwald walked outside the study, his figure began to change, gradually transforming into an owl.

At the same time, with every step Grindelwald took, his appearance began to change, gradually turning into another middle-aged wizard.

Walking out of the study, standing on the top of the castle, looking at the magic seal above.

Grindelwald stretched out his wand and swiped it gently. Between the sliding tracks, small groups of blue flames appeared, like fierce fire, but there were differences.

next moment.

call!

The small blue flame expanded rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it enveloped Grindelwald and Nubi on his shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, with a roar of flames, it expanded again and then disappeared, and Grindelwald's figure disappeared together.

London, Hogsmeade.

call!

A ball of blue flame suddenly appeared, but the surrounding wizards seemed to have not seen it and walked sideways.

The next moment, the blue flame disappeared, Grindelwald's body emerged, and then slowly stepped forward.

There was nothing strange on the faces of the surrounding wizards, as if Grindelwald had always been there.

At this moment, Grindelwald looked at the lively and familiar environment around him with a smile on his face, but a hint of indifference could still be seen in his eyes.

What's the point of the wizarding world, which is like a backwater?

Soon, Grindelwald walked to the Hog's Head Bar.

He glanced at the plaque above and seemed to think of something. His eyes changed slightly and he entered directly.

After entering the bar, he looked at Aberforth Dumbledore who was busy at the bar, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Then, he turned his eyes and saw a portrait of a young girl hanging on the wall inside. His eyes were slightly moved, and he couldn't help but murmur to himself: "Ariana."

While reminiscing, Grindelwald suddenly felt a line of sight coming towards him.

Even at a glance, the other person raised his glass and nodded slightly to him.

This man is none other than Gilderoy Lockhart, the founder of the meditation method and an unpredictable man.

At this moment, Lockhart saw the familiar owl Nubby on the shoulder of the middle-aged wizard in the distance, and vaguely sensed a dangerous aura from the other person's body.

It was instantly clear that the other party was probably a prophet!

Immediately, he raised the butterbeer on the table and nodded.

Then, I watched the prophet walking slowly, seemingly slowly but actually very quickly. There was no wizard blocking the way, as if he was subconsciously avoiding it.

Seeing this scene, Lockhart's eyes narrowed, and then he smiled.

He opened his mouth and said to the prophet who was already sitting in front of him: "Hello, Mr. Prophet, this meeting has been long awaited."

After Grindelwald heard this, he also showed a smile and said meaningfully: "I have been looking forward to it for a long time!"

As for Lockhart, a trace of inquiry flashed in his eyes, and the other party's tone was obviously different from what he had imagined.

The thought flashed through his mind and he continued to speak: "Mr. Prophet, what would you like to drink?"

"Butterbeer, how about that?"

Hearing this, Grindelwald said: "No, come to the Pig's Head Bar."

"Of course I want to taste the specialty of the owner of the Pig Head Bar - Fire Whiskey!"

Immediately, he whispered directly to the bartender on the side: "Have a glass of fire whiskey."

Then, he looked at Lockhart and said, "Professor Lockhart, would you like to try the bar owner's specialty?"

Upon hearing this, Lockhart smiled and shook his head in rejection.

Then he said to the waiter next to him: "Charge the cost of the wine to my account. I will treat you today."

After Grindelwald heard this, he squinted his eyes and seemed to hear Lockhart's emphasis on who was the host and who was the guest.

Then he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Professor Lockhart."

"Mr. Prophet." Lockhart looked curious, but actually asked tentatively: "From what you said just now, it seems that you have been to the Pig's Head Bar before, and you are familiar with it?"

"Indeed, I am very familiar with the boss here," Grindelwald said with a smile and nod.

After Lockhart heard this, he thought to himself.

He knew that the boss here was Principal Dumbledore's younger brother.

He is very familiar with his brother. Does that mean he is also very familiar with Dumbledore? This is not certain, but it can only be said that it is possible.

However, it seems impossible to make a judgment based on this information alone.

Thoughts flashed, Lockhart smiled and continued to test: "Mr. Prophet, what do you call me?"

"When I saw your name on the envelope, I thought you were a wizard specializing in divination. However, I found out from the contents of the letter that you have such in-depth research on ancient runes. "

"Professor Lockhart, please continue to call me prophet." Grindelwald replied with a smile: "You are right, I do have considerable research in divination."

"Oh." Lockhart seemed a little surprised: "I see. To be honest, I am quite curious about divination."

"I once talked with Professor Trelawney, who teaches Divination at Hogwarts."

"Unfortunately, I don't have much talent in this area."

After hearing this, Grindelwald said with emotion: "Indeed, divination relies heavily on talent."

"But as a divination expert, I feel that unknown is the best choice."

Lockhart looked a little strange when he heard the prophet's remarks about Versailles.

What is the best choice for the unknown?

According to his theory, it would be best if he didn't know the future plot.

Afterwards, the two chatted a few words again.

Lockhart tested the other party's identity, but was skillfully turned around.

At the same time, the bartender also brought a plate.

In the wine glass in the middle of the plate, there is a blue liquid with a bright blue flame burning on it. It is Fire Whiskey.

"Sir, please enjoy." The waiter skillfully took out the wine glass and placed it on the table, saying respectfully.

"Okay." Grindelwald nodded and said one word indifferently.

He doesn't really dislike Squibs, it's just that they don't have much value.

However, the future is not certain, and the emergence of meditation has given this group of people hope again.

Lockhart was not surprised when he saw this. Most mainstream people in the wizarding world looked down on Squibs.

Especially the old monster in front of him who looks middle-aged but actually lives for who knows how many years. His attitude is indifferent, which is normal.

"Yes." Grindelwald took a sip of firewhiskey and said with emotion: "Sure enough, it still tastes familiar."

Lockhart heard this and said jokingly: "It seems that Mr. Prophet has not been in the British wizarding world for some time."

"Would you like to take this opportunity to have some fun again?"

"That's not necessary." Grindelwald refused directly: "I have already seen the familiar scenery, and there are some old friends I don't want to see."

After hearing what the other party said, Lockhart did not continue to ask.

After all, the other party clearly expressed his rejection, so it would be a bit inappropriate for him to bring it up again.

Simply, take this opportunity to start the topic.

"Oh, in that case, it seems that this time Mr. Prophet comes to the world of British witches, he should have great expectations for my meditation method."

"I believe that the meditation method will not disappoint you, Mr. Prophet." Lockhart took a sip of butterbeer and said.

"Yes, when I learned about Professor Lockhart and the meditation method you created, it really gave me a huge surprise." Grindelwald seemed to be feeling a little emotional.

"So what are you interested in?" Lockhart asked softly, "If it's okay, we can have a good chat."

After hearing the question, Grindelwald was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about the topic of communication.

at the same time

boom!

Grindelwald tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

In an instant, a transparent ripple covered the surrounding area.

Lockhart felt a silence, and at the same time he instantly understood that no one else could hear the conversation between the two of them.

Seeing this, Lockhart continued to look at Mr. Prophet opposite with interest.

It seems that the content of today's chat may be interesting.

"Actually, I am more interested in you, Professor Lockhart." Grindelwald said pointedly.

"How should I put it?" Lockhart said mockingly: "Although I was an explorer and writer before, such experience should be meaningless to a top wizard."

"You can't say that." Grindelwald praised: "The meditation method was developed by Professor Lockhart. The runes contained in it can be said to open up a new path in the field of runes. ."

"Not to mention the meditation method you created, which can give Squibs the ability to cast spells."

"If nothing unexpected happens in the future, there should be many names like Father of Runes."

Hearing the other party's praise, Lockhart showed a modest smile on his face and said: "Then it depends on future development. More importantly, it depends on whether my research can help the entire wizarding world."

"Your research has been of great help." Grindelwald said meaningfully: "It's even somewhat beyond my expectation."

After hearing this, Lockhart smiled and did not continue.

Grindelwald continued to ask: "Professor Lockhart, we communicated in letters before."

"I found that you are very interested in the relationship between ancient runes and runes."

"Can you tell me what you think of these two runes?"

"What is the relationship between ancient runes and runes?" Facing the prophet's question, Lockhart pondered for a moment, as if he was sorting out his thoughts, and slowly said: "I personally think that if we regard runes as An interpretation of magic, an interpretation of the world.”

"Or, more accurately, think of it as a magical word, language."

"Then, ancient runes and runes are two languages ​​and two texts for the same thing."

"I wonder how much you know about the Muggle world?"

Lockhart asked simply, and continued without waiting for a reply.

"Mr. Prophet, there are many powerful countries in the Muggle world, and some countries use different words."

"For example, in the Chinese country far in the east, the writing they use is called Chinese characters, while the United Kingdom where we are located uses English, or letters."

"Although they can also interpret things."

"However, due to differences in grammar, glyphs, etc., the effects are also different."

"I once read a paper written by a Muggle scholar. He mentioned an interesting point of view. The characters used by China can subconsciously cultivate people's sensibility and stimulate people's inspiration and creativity. This is how China became the world's leader in ancient times. The reason for the overlord.”

"The English letters commonly used in the West cultivate people's rationality and lay the foundation for the development of Muggle science and technology."

"Through this simple case, we can see that although things can be described, different words have different effects on people."

"This is what ancient runes and runes are like."

"According to my research, runes have many advantages compared to runes, such as spiritual power, resonance of magic power, and transformation of magic power, etc. It will help a lot."

"Relatively speaking, although ancient runes are not as good as runes in these aspects, they still have many magical features."

"For example, when it comes to the transformation of matter, runes are difficult to achieve, while ancient runes can easily transform material forms, just like the transformation spell we cast."

"besides."

"."

"If ancient runes and runes can be combined in the future"

"."

"The basic work of the meditation method is now done, but the core still relies on runes. I think runes should play a similar role in it."

"."

Later, Lockhart and Grindelwald talked about his research on runes and ancient runes.

Lockhart believes that if you want to attract an old monster in the wizarding world like the Prophet, if you don't throw out some useful information, the other party will definitely not make any move.

Although the first thing he brought up was his own research on runes, he believed that this would more or less arouse the curiosity of the other party.

At this moment, Grindelwald was quietly listening to Lockhart's explanation.

how to say?

The other party is worthy of being a professor who teaches young wizards, and his teaching skills are good. In just a few words, he can outline the special features of runes for him.

However, after listening to the later stage, he could also clearly feel the other party's future vision for the integration of runes and ancient runes.

Of course, there is also the invitation message sent out in words.

While Grindelwald listened to Lockhart's story, he enriched the image of the other party in his mind.

He found that this person had a very deep academic foundation, and it would not be an exaggeration to call him a professional scholar.

This was not surprising to him. After all, he was able to create a meditation method. This kind of cross-era research result was problematic only if he did not have deep academic skills.

Not much other information was obtained.

This wasn't surprising to him, after all, the topic the two of them were talking about was runes.

After thinking for a while, he began to guide me subtly.

"Among them, there is a rune that is also the key rune at the core of the meditation method. I call it the soul-accumulating rune."

"Long-term contemplation of this rune can enhance mental power. This is the core of the meditation method that can be developed using rune."

"if."

"Professor Lockhart, I have read a report before. You previously raised the problems that the wizarding world will face in the future and thought that meditation could solve them."

"Can you talk in detail about your views on the future of the wizarding world?"
