Mastering Thunder from Hogwarts
Chapter 770 Lockhart (seeking a monthly pass)
After a conversation with Anduin, Grindelwald felt that his outlook on life had been severely impacted.
Unexpectedly, the Wizarding World, which he thought had done nothing at first, would actually play a shocking chess game that spanned centuries.
As for whether everything Anduin said was true, after recalling everything he experienced when he was young, he actually already had the answer in his heart.
Indeed, starting decades or even hundreds of years ago, the Wizarding World has been deliberately downplaying the differences between Muggle wizards and pure-blood wizards, and at the same time, it has gradually relaxed restrictions on the union between wizards and Muggles.
Due to the secrecy law, the wizarding world has placed the wizarding world on the weaker side from the beginning, so this combination did not arouse the suspicion of the top Muggle officials.
The results are also very obvious. In wizarding communities in France, Egypt, Spain and other countries, the status of Muggle wizards is no longer much different from that of pure-blood wizards, and the population is gradually increasing.
If such a public opinion environment is allowed to develop for several decades, intermarriage between wizards and Muggles may no longer be discriminated against.
What followed was a significant increase in the wizarding population, until the gap with Muggles narrowed to a certain level.
At that time, perhaps it is the best time to increase the wizard's voice!
Of course, that was when no one was causing trouble. Grindelwald knew that back then he was determined to make changes and initiate the revolution because he was dissatisfied with the closedness of the wizarding world and disgusted with the gradual move towards Muggle society.
But in the long run, he is actually putting a heavy brake on the developing wizarding world, igniting the conflict between wizards and Muggles again.
Thinking of this, Grindelwald couldn't help but laugh wryly at himself. He originally thought he was the one with a long-term vision, but in the end he discovered that he was short-sighted.
"Thank you for allowing me to see the truth clearly. I am very satisfied with this answer." Although Grindelwald woke up from the confusion, he showed a look of loss.
Grindelwald pointed to the wand that belonged to Gerald on the table, "Is that okay?"
"Please!" Anduin nodded indifferently.
Grindelwald nodded slightly when he saw this, then picked up the wand and rubbed it in his hand for a while as if he was remembering his friend.
Then he pointed the tip of the stick to his temple, and after a while he pulled out a ray of crystal clear memory fluid, "This is what I got from Peverell's grave. I hope it can be helpful to you."
When Anduin saw this, he quickly took out a crystal bottle and stored some memories. This was the main purpose of his coming here.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, please do it. I also want to finish reading this book tonight."
After Grindelwald gave Anduin the eviction order, he picked up the tattered old book and turned around.
For some reason, Anduin felt that when he saw Grindelwald's back, he looked older than when he first arrived.
It seems that there are some things in this old man's heart that he still can't let go.
But this was none of Anduin's business. He bowed politely to Grindelwald, and then left the tower without looking back.
As soon as he walked out of Nurmengard, Anduin used Apparition to leave the place. He was not interested in the inner world of the old man. The most important thing now was to find out the truth about the Deathly Hallows.
After returning to the UK, Anduin didn't even pick up Harry, and just immersed himself in the laboratory. He believed that the Weasley family could take good care of Harry.
By the time Anduin walked out of the laboratory with great satisfaction, it was already half a month later. If Qiqi hadn't reminded him in time, he almost forgot that today was the opening ceremony of Hogwarts.
Anduin gained a lot from this half-month of research, and the contents of Grindelwald's memory solved a big mystery for him.
At that time, Grindelwald dug up the tomb in order to decipher the mystery of the Deathly Hallows, but other than that, he did not find anything extra.
There was only the body of Ignotus in the coffin, and there were no other burial objects except the clothes on his body.
However, Grindelwald was indeed a ruthless man back then. Even after he found out that no burial objects were found, he still refused to give up and actually stripped Ignotus naked.
If Ignotus was just an ordinary person, then the story would probably end here. He might just be a poor man who was brutally desecrated by a pervert after his death.
But the fact is that there is indeed some secret hidden in Ignotus' body.
When Grindelwald dug out the coffin, Ignotus had turned into a white skeleton, but there was indeed a magical pattern on the bones that was extremely difficult to find.
This is very puzzling, because normally, this kind of magical lines appear to be acquired, and can only be seen on alchemy tools. It is very strange that magic lines appear on corpses.
After all, human beings are just flesh and blood. Engraving magic marks on the body, or in the body close to the bones, is no different from committing suicide.
Just the turbulent flow of magic caused by driving the magic pattern may tear a person into pieces!
The lines started from the spine of Ignotus's abdomen and extended upwards, and then spread all over the body along the bones. There were four special magic nodes distributed on his abdomen, chest and shoulders.
After the passage of time, those lines and nodes have actually become very dim, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see them even if they study them carefully.
But Grindelwald noticed it extremely keenly, but at that time he failed to understand the significance of the magic patterns remaining on the bones, so he just collected Ignotus's body.
And when Anduin followed Grindelwald's memory and saw the magic patterns clearly, he immediately realized that they might be related to the Deathly Hallows.
However, due to the memory gap and the fact that most of the lines on the broken bones were damaged, research was very laborious.
For this reason, Anduin spent nearly half a month reluctantly restoring the magic patterns. At the same time, he gradually understood the secrets of these magic patterns.
He discovered that these magic lines seemed not to be carved into the body through alchemy, but to be left in the body over time by casting spells along the path of the magic lines for a long time.
In other words, those magic patterns are something similar to stones, which can be regarded as an accessory product of some kind of magic.
And the fact that the magic lines can still remain on the body after thousands of years means that the density of magic power running along the magic lines must be extremely strong.
Even Anduin's current body might not be able to withstand this high-intensity magical impact, so he suspected from the beginning that this was not caused by some kind of magic or spell.
Since it is not the product of a talisman, Anduin naturally associates it with the Three Holy Artifacts of Death, and if the Three Holy Artifacts are substituted, it can even explain the functions of those nodes.
The nodes on the chest and abdomen may be related to the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand, while the two nodes on the shoulders may correspond to the Invisibility Cloak.
If you think along this line of thinking, it will be much clearer. The reason why Anduin and Dumbledore tried so many times to connect the Three Sacred Artifacts before is probably because they cannot be combined directly at all.
If you want to truly integrate the Deathly Hallows, you may have to use the human body as a carrier, and then find a way to connect them together.
Just like electronic components to circuit boards, the Deathly Hallows must also rely on the physical body to play its true role.
However, after many days of research, Anduin discovered that the Three Holy Artifacts may have a closer relationship with the human body.
If I had to describe it, it might be as close as the organs and body of the human body.
"Are you going to use the Deathly Hallows as an appendage? It sounds really weird..." Anduin murmured to himself.
"No matter what, no matter what the result is, it can only be determined after the experiment. It just needs to be directly tested on human bodies, and the risks are not low."
Anduin thought for a moment and shook his head helplessly. It was impossible for him to conduct the experiment on his own anyway. It seemed that he had to go back to his old business. He should try to capture a few dark wizards to use as material.
After making up his mind, Anduin set off back to Hogwarts. Due to time constraints, he did not take Leona this time, but took Hogg directly to the office through any door.
But when he finally arrived at the auditorium, he realized that he was still late and had not even made it to the sorting ceremony.
Seeing Anduin being late again, Professor McGonagall, who was hosting the opening ceremony, couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
When Anduin saw this, he could only return a guilty look of apology. He actually didn't want to, but sometimes it was easy to lose track of time when doing research.
But when he saw a certain figure at the faculty table, Anduin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"Senior Lockhart, I didn't expect you to return to Hogwarts to teach." After sitting down next to Snape, Anduin greeted the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor.
Anduin wasn't particularly familiar with Lockhart, his old classmate, and he hadn't actually paid much attention to him over the years.
I just learned that he seemed to have become an adventurer after graduation, and he even wrote a few books specifically for this purpose. I heard that these books were selling quite well, and it seems that the other party even got a third-level Medal of Merlin for this.
, Anduin’s radio channel also had programs that invited him to be interviewed.
But based on Anduin's understanding of Lockhart, he always felt that this guy was completely incompatible with the so-called adventurer. Just because he was wearing such fancy clothes, he would be beaten to death in minutes when he went out on adventures?
Anduin, who had been busy for a long time, really didn't have the energy to care about this old classmate who acted flamboyantly. He just greeted him politely when they met.
"Aha! It's Anduin!"
As soon as he saw Anduin appear, Lockhart's face filled with excitement with a smile, "I can't help it. Principal Dumbledore even came to ask for it in person. I really can't bear to let the principal down."
"But when I think about returning to Hogwarts and being able to work with you again, Anduin, I can't help but feel excited!"
Lockhart excitedly raised his chest, revealing the lavender bow tie under his turquoise robe.
"I have decided to write a new book for this this year, called "Ruling Hogwarts with Anduin Wilson"!"
After saying this, Lockhart showed a pleased expression, "I knew back then that your future achievements would be limitless, and my advice to you is truly worthy of it!"
After saying this, Lockhart first raised his chin very narcissistically, and then couldn't help but lift the chair and rub it in the direction of Anduin.
He knew very well that the former junior student in front of him was now a great big shot, so he didn't want to rub off on his popularity?
"Huh?" Anduin glanced at Lockhart inexplicably upon hearing this, and then looked at Snape in confusion, trying to get an answer from him.
"Huh..." Snape snorted coldly, and then said in a deep voice, "Since that guy was confirmed to join Hogwarts, he has been spreading the word everywhere that he is your close friend, and he also claimed that you are because you have been tortured.
It was his guidance that led to our current achievements.”
Then Snape stared at Anduin doubtfully, "Can this be true?"
"Is there such a thing?" Anduin was amused when he heard this, and then shook his head helplessly, "I'm not familiar with him. The only time we talked was in the library. He introduced me to a book on thinking magic.
books."
"I knew that guy was unreliable." Snape curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and then couldn't help but roll his eyes at Anduin, "By the way, where have you been in the past two months?"
"That idiot Lockhart used your reputation to brag outside for more than a month. Many people actually believed it after finding out that you didn't stand up to refute. Now this guy is bragging about himself.
Got a big celebrity!”
Then Snape couldn't help but mutter, "In that case, why don't you expose this guy's lies quickly? How can you bear it when he slanders your reputation like this?"
After learning what Lockhart had done recently, Anduin was a little speechless, but after thinking of the pile of unfinished matters at hand and the experiments on the Deathly Hallows, he still shook his head.
"I don't have that much free time now, and after all, Lockhart is the new professor invited by Dumbledore. Let's let him go for the time being. Anyway, I think this guy is harmless to humans and animals."
"Humph, you will regret it sooner or later." Snape replied coldly, and then turned his attention to Harry and the others, "Also, why did the Potter guys gain so much weight after a summer vacation?
?Are you feeding them feed?"
When Snape mentioned this, Anduin suddenly became angry and said, "Don't worry, they won't be fat for long!"
Snape raised his eyebrows when he heard this. It seemed that these brats were going to suffer a lot, and then he looked at Harry with interest.
At this time, Harry happened to be looking this way and looked at Snape.
After the experience of sharing adversity in Despair Town, Harry probably fell in love with Snape from then on, at least his impression of him had improved a lot.
Therefore, when seeing Snape, he also politely gave him a kind look.
But after meeting Snape's inexplicable gaze, he couldn't help but shudder, as if something terrible was about to happen.
