Starting Over at Hogwarts

Hogwarts castle gate.

As the door slowly opened.

Just as the students present were carrying their luggage and welcoming their holidays with joy on their faces, wizards riding broomsticks suddenly flew over from the sky!

The leading wizard was Old Barty Crouch. He hurried into Hogwarts with a few people, with an undisguised look of anxiety on his face!

"What happened?"

The students present couldn't help but look at these people curiously.

However, these wizards had no time to pay attention to these students and just followed Barty Crouch Sr. to Hogwarts Castle because they were anxious to see Dumbledore.

When Barty Crouch Sr. passed by Wesson, he didn't even stop. He just walked and said without looking back: "Wright, I have to go on a business trip for a while, so you can go home directly." , practice the spell seriously..."

"Um."

Weisen nodded seriously.

Barty Crouch Sr. had enough information for Wesson.

At this time, Barty Crouch Sr. appeared here and claimed that he was going on a business trip. It was most likely because of the International Federation of Magic. Grindelwald should have taken advantage of this time to take action.

That guy really knows how to pick his time...

Hogwarts here has just been on summer vacation, and Grindelwald immediately started to cause trouble, making it clear that he wanted to take advantage of Wesen's vacation to cause trouble.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Old Barty Crouch and several staff from the Ministry of Magic appeared here because they received letters from the Ministry of Magic in other countries. Grindelwald finally started to act. No, or it was Grindelwald's new subordinate card. Karloff made his move!

Karkaroff's declaration was received by the Ministry of Magic throughout Europe.

Karkaroff publicly announced that he would step down as the principal of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and claimed to have passed an internal meeting of the council to invite Grindelwald to be the new principal of Durmstrang!

This must have been done by Grindelwald himself!

The only one who can solve Grindelwald is Dumbledore, so Barty Crouch Sr. hurried to Hogwarts to ask for Dumbledore's help.

The Hogwarts Express speeds past.

The students on the entire train were still unaware of the Dark Lord's principal on the European continent.

This group of students are still celebrating the holiday with laughter and laughter, because they have endured half a year of closed management and can enjoy a peaceful holiday life after returning home.

The Hufflepuff students were sitting in a carriage, discussing their holiday arrangements with each other, and some were not sure whether they would have the chance to meet during the holidays.

If the Dark Lords fight hard...

They can only stay at home for one holiday.

If the Dark Lords didn't fight fiercely...

There is a high probability that they can even make an appointment to hang out together.

"Wesen, do you have time to come out?"

Cedric looked at his friend.

Following Cedric's inquiry, the young wizards present all looked at Wesson, because this was the backbone of Hufflepuff's students since the beginning of the school year.

"Unlikely."

Wesson's expression was very calm, and he easily put the blame on Barty Crouch Sr.: "Mr. Crouch has arranged my vacation in advance..."

In other words, it wasn't arranged by Barty Crouch Sr.

It was arranged by that guy Grindelwald. He just started causing trouble during the summer vacation at Hogwarts. Wesson felt that he might have to spend another busy holiday.

certainly.

These little friends, please stay at home.

Because if Grindelwald causes trouble in Europe during this summer vacation, Peter Pettigrew may become a little bit more rampant so that Dumbledore can continue to stay in Britain.

The Dark Lord is so rampant...

Everyone should prepare their homework at home and don't go out to play.

These little guys were still discussing their vacation arrangements without knowing anything.

The little wizards have no idea that the world is dangerous, and they don't understand why the Dark Lord is very quiet when they are in school, but becomes rampant when they are on vacation.

certainly.

In fact, this is indeed a student problem.

However, the problem is not that there is a Dark Lord among the students, but that someone at Hogwarts must be in the school to protect the safety of these students.

Ever since Peter Pettigrew appeared, he has been coveting the treasures in Hogwarts, and also used the Marauder's Map to control the whereabouts of everyone in Hogwarts.

Dumbledore knew very well.

Only by sitting at Hogwarts can he stop Peter Pettigrew from infiltrating. Once he leaves Hogwarts, Peter Pettigrew will no longer have any scruples.

This is a cycle.

When the students at Hogwarts start school, Dumbledore must sit in the school to prevent Peter Pettigrew from harming the students if he sneaks into the school.

When the students of Hogwarts are on vacation, Dumbledore does not need to protect the students so he can leave the school, and Peter Pettigrew may take the opportunity to show up.

Headmaster of Hogwarts was Dumbledore's favorite title.

However, this honor has become Dumbledore's responsibility and a cage that imprisons his freedom during this dangerous period.

summer vacation.

It’s not just a holiday for students.

It was also a holiday when Dumbledore could move freely.

However, what Dumbledore never expected was that this holiday would also become Grindelwald's holiday.

Hogwarts Headmaster's Office.

Barty Crouch Sr. sat in front of Dumbledore and spoke in detail about the news coming from other Ministry of Magic in Europe, most of which was about the danger of Grindelwald.

"Since yesterday afternoon, Karkaroff has publicly announced that Grindelwald is the new principal of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the Ministry of Magic across the European continent is in chaos..."

"Especially last night, Swedish and Finnish Auror wizards surrounded Durmstrang and were repelled by Grindelwald himself. We suspect that he may have been lurking in Durmstrang..."

"Early this morning, the International Federation of Wizards and Magic once again asked us for help. Minister Millicent asked me to ask you to rush to Europe as soon as possible to attend the meeting of the International Federation of Magic."

"..."

After listening to what Barty Crouch Sr. said, Dumbledore sat in his seat and frowned.

The old Hogwarts principal nodded slowly, because these arrangements were very similar to his own plan, and he indeed needed to rush to Europe to deal with Grindelwald.

"I just have one question."

Dumbledore looked at Old Barty Crouch and continued to ask softly: "Is the Ministry of Magic ready to guard against Peter Pettigrew's rebellion? I suspect that he may echo Grindelwald..."

"Ms. Amelia Bones will be in charge of that."

Old Barty Crouch immediately mentioned the arrangements of the Ministry of Magic and continued to add: "The Ministry of Magic will assign two classes of Aurors and strikers to be stationed at Hogwarts, led by Ms. Amelia Bones. Responsible for co-ordination and filling the void in Hogwarts' defense."

Yes.

The Ministry of Magic has made arrangements.

Two classes of Aurors are stationed at Hogwarts. They will be under the command of Amelia Bones, who has just resigned as Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and been promoted to Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. This is enough to ensure that Dumbledore can Relax and head to the European continent to deal with Grindelwald.

Strictly speaking, this is the best arrangement.

Even Dumbledore couldn't think of a better arrangement.

Now Dumbledore can only hope that Peter Pettigrew won't attack Hogwarts again or cause any bigger trouble before he returns.

certainly.

Dumbledore hoped that he could deal with Grindelwald as soon as possible.

"Barty."

Dumbledore looked at Barty Crouch Sr. and suddenly called his name.

Dumbledore's eyes gradually became serious, and he slowly stated his request: "Barty, if I propose a method to solve Grindelwald at the meeting, I hope you can stand by me at that time... "

It is estimated that not many people in the European Ministry of Magic would agree to negotiate with Grindelwald. Even Dumbledore himself knew how many people would criticize this proposal once it was made public.

After being stunned for a second, Old Barty Crouch hesitated and refused to agree casually: "But...Dumbledore, I hope you can tell me in advance what exactly you want to do...I must be responsible for the Ministry of Magic..."

"We need to make peace with Grindelwald."

Dumbledore slowly removed his eyes.

"What!"

Old Barty Crouch stood up suddenly and subconsciously refused to do this: "It is absolutely impossible for anyone to agree to this!"

"If this continues, sooner or later we will run out of options."

Dumbledore stood up, supported his desk, and explained seriously: "Tom may be resurrected at any time, Peter is also secretly preparing to make a move, and Grindelwald has begun to stir up trouble..."

"Tom...the mysterious man..."

Barty Crouch Sr. was a little frightened.

Because when he heard Tom, he subconsciously thought of the owl Wesen raised, and the next second he thought of Voldemort's real name, Tom Riddle.

Dumbledore looked at the ugly old Barty Crouch and continued to persuade him seriously: "Now the world is on the verge of going berserk and out of control. Barty, we can't always be as capable as we are at this moment." Standing cleanly on the shore..."

Dumbledore has a point.

Right now it's just Grindelwald and Peter Pettigrew's mess.

However, when the truly out-of-control river turns into a flood that can flood the entire magical world, no one can stand clean on the shore forever.

certainly.

Dumbledore must have some selfish motives.

Dumbledore was never mentally prepared to completely eliminate Grindelwald by killing or other means. In fact, it was always difficult for him to find this opportunity, even though everyone thought he could do it at any time.

Barty Crouch Sr. looked at Dumbledore with a serious face and muttered his opinion.

"I must...I must report to the minister first..."
