Starting Over at Hogwarts

Dumbledore's attitude is crucial.

This is a very important signal.

Now Barty Crouch Sr. is eager to tell Wesson about Dumbledore's attitude and discuss how to use this matter and whether he should support or oppose Dumbledore's peace.

In fact.

Even if Dumbledore really wanted to sue for peace with Grindelwald, Grindelwald could only agree to it through Wesson's consent.

However.

Wesson was still on the Hogwarts Express.

Barty Crouch Sr. could only go to the Minister of Magic to report the matter first, intending to discuss Dumbledore's attitude for a long time and delay the time a little.

After all, even if the British Ministry of Magic really agrees with Dumbledore's attitude, the Ministry of Magic in other countries may not be willing, and they have to find a way to convince the ministers of magic.

at dusk.

The senior officials of the British Ministry of Magic have discussed this matter.

The senior leaders of the British Ministry of Magic came to the same conclusion. They believed that Dumbledore should be supported, because it was better to believe in Dumbledore's judgment than to be unable to make reasonable judgments.

There is still a third-generation Dark Lord and a second-generation Dark Lord who can be resurrected at any time hidden in the entire UK. In addition, Grindelwald never set foot in the British wizarding world during the heyday of history...

Therefore, Britain does not care about the harm of Grindelwald.

If you can't do something yourself, leave it to someone strong that you can trust.

Millicent, the retiring Minister of Magic, believed in Dumbledore's judgment so much that she ultimately rejected the proposals of others and let Barty Crouch Sr. discuss it with Dumbledore.

"Trust Dumbledore."

Millicent Barnold said something meaningful at the end of the meeting: "We must first protect the safety of our people..."

The rest…

There is no need to say any more.

When Grindelwald ravaged Europe, the British Ministry of Magic sent many Aurors to help. As a result, when Voldemort ravaged Britain, other ministries of magic stood aside and even accused the British wizards of violating the rules after Voldemort died. International Statute of Secrecy.

that time.

Millicent, the Minister of Magic, had a lot of trouble with the Ministers of Magic of other countries.

"I see."

Barty Crouch Sr. stood up and nodded.

After Barty Crouch Sr. left the Ministry of Magic, he returned home first with the attitude of Dumbledore and the British Ministry of Magic. As a result, when he entered the door, he saw Wesson improving the food at home.

A large crucible.

There are densely packed vegetables and meat inside.

There is also a little seasoning poured on top, giving off a burst of heat and fragrance.

Weissen skillfully took a bite of the enoki mushrooms with his chopsticks and glanced at Barty Crouch Sr. who was returning home in surprise: "Huh? Didn't you say you were going on a business trip? Isn't there something going on with Grindelwald?"

"I have something to say...I'll leave right away."

Barty Crouch Sr. took off his coat, went to the kitchen to get a set of tableware, and said nonchalantly, "Dumbledore wants to negotiate with Grindelwald and promise Grindelwald some things." In exchange for his peace of mind, the British Ministry of Magic has agreed to his proposal..."

"That's not a good thing."

Wesson put down the chopsticks in his hand and looked a little serious: "I chose Grindelwald in the first place just to let him share Dumbledore's attraction..."

When he said this, Wesson suddenly couldn't help but smile and said: "However, when I released Grindelwald, I could probably guess that Dumbledore would reach this point sooner or later, but I didn't expect that Dumbledore would reach this point sooner or later. Dumbledore is so courageous..."

According to Wesson's judgment.

Only when Voldemort returns and Dumbledore is completely at his wits' end will he have to take this step. He didn't expect that he would want to take this step at this time.

Wesson shook his head and sighed: "It seems that our principal wants to kill a Dark Lord, but he doesn't want to kill his old friend..."

"You agree?"

Barty Crouch Sr. frowned.

"certainly."

Wesson nodded slowly, and while reaching out to pour a cup of herbal tea for Barty Crouch Sr., he continued: "I always thought that a stalemate would take two or three years, but I didn't expect that Dumbledore would be willing to do so at this time. Negotiating with Grindelwald saved a lot of time..."

When talking about this, Wesson couldn't help but sigh: "The only pity is that if this negotiation is reached, Grindelwald's chess piece can only be hidden, and it will take a few years to come in use..."

Once Grindelwald and Dumbledore successfully negotiate.

That means Grindelwald must not cause trouble in the magical world.

In this case, the only active Dark Lord in the entire magical world is Peter Pettigrew. In order not to be caught by Dumbledore, he must be carefully hidden.

This kind of thing is also quite troublesome.

Because both Dumbledore and Sirius may see something is wrong with Peter Pettigrew, the third-generation Dark Lord. Once they notice it, who knows what they will guess...

Wesson glanced at the calendar on the wall and suddenly relaxed, because there was only one year left before the story of Voldemort and Harry Potter was about to begin.

"It's impossible to use him for too long anyway."

Wesson thought for a while and said softly: "I will create a little noise here, and it doesn't matter if Grindelwald opens his mouth during the negotiation. With his wisdom, he will definitely understand..."

"What do you want to do again?"

"I'd like to visit the Ministry of Magic."

Wesson was very calm when he said these words.

However, Old Barty Crouch knew very well that the visit Wesson was talking about was probably not that serious, because two classes of Aurors were transferred to Hogwarts, and the Ministry of Magic's defense happened to be at its weakest.

Wesson slowly raised his head and looked at Barty Crouch Sr., and said softly: "If only Peter Pettigrew is active in the future, this identity is likely to be exposed. We all know this identity." Maybe it won't be long, so let's make him as useful as possible..."

"..."

Old Barty Crouch was silent for a while, then picked up the fork in his hand and pricked a piece of meat roll in the pot: "Actually, you never thought about letting him survive..."

"Sometimes we all have to believe in fate..."

Weisen calmly took a sip of herbal tea and asked softly: "Although we more or less know in our hearts that the fate of some people is arranged... Anyway, Mr. Peter doesn't want to live long ago."

"..."

Barty Crouch Sr.'s forehead couldn't help but beat.

The last sentence…

Is Wesson serious?

Why did Barty Crouch Sr. never feel that Peter wanted to die? He felt that the coward should want to live more than anyone else in the world.

"Okay, let's not discuss this anymore."

Wesson put down the cup in his hand and began to give instructions seriously: "Delay the negotiation for two days as much as possible. The day after tomorrow, I will go to the Ministry of Magic to cause a little trouble and cooperate with your negotiations."

"Um."

After Barty Crouch Sr. nodded, he asked a question that tortured his soul: "But, Wesson, what is the significance of us helping Grindelwald in this way...?"

"You're a bit wrong."

Wesson slowly shook his head and chuckled: "It's not that we helped Grindelwald, but Grindelwald has always helped us..."

"but…"

"No buts."

Wesson interrupted Barty Crouch Sr., poured him another cup of herbal tea, and explained in a low voice: "Everyone in the world will have their bonds and feelings, even if they are stubborn and don't want to admit it...even if they are as strong as Grindelwald, too."

Yes.

Even Grindelwald is the same.

Not even Dumbledore is perfect.

When Barty Crouch Sr. and Dumbledore rushed to the International Magical Union Conference, the ministers of magic from many countries were waiting for them here, expecting Dumbledore to stand up and fight at the request of all wizards like he did in 1945. The decisive battle with Grindelwald.

But this time...

They are destined to be disappointed.

Barty Crouch Sr. delivered the news to Grindelwald in advance.

Dumbledore did not delay at all, and went directly to the meeting site and put forward his proposal to negotiate with Grindelwald. He did not want to waste too much time here.

"This is surrender!"

“What a disappointment!”

"We never agree to peace talks!"

"Dumbledore, how can you be so weak!"

"Actually, it's not impossible..."

"Grindelwald is not as dangerous as before..."

The whole venue immediately became noisy.

The ministers of magic in some countries believed that there was a problem with Dumbledore's position and were firmly opposed to negotiating with Grindelwald because they did not want a dark lord from the past to rise again and drive them out;

The ministers of magic in some countries may be followers of Grindelwald's ideas, and they secretly preached at this meeting that Grindelwald is not actually dangerous and that they can coexist peacefully;

"Quiet!"

Dumbledore's booming voice echoed throughout the entire venue.

The old man with a gray beard stood on the stage, slowly swept across the entire venue to silence everyone, and calmly began to explain to everyone the dilemma they were facing.

"The magic world is now at the most dangerous moment in this century..."

Dumbledore met the eyes of everyone present and said in a deep voice: "Never before have three powerful dark wizards appeared in the entire magical world at the same time. Their cunning and black magic can make countless people... Innocent lives were sacrificed in vain…”

"There are many ways to eliminate dark wizards in this world. I chose the peaceful one because I think it is the most suitable way now. I am very sorry..."

When Dumbledore said this, he slowly bowed and saluted everyone present: "I am very sorry, but my power cannot meet your expectations and is not enough to destroy three so-called Dark Lords at the same time. Any The rampage of a dark lord will put the magical world in unimaginable danger..."

"Grindelwald is one of the ones who has done the least harm to wizards. At least he once chose to stand on the side of all wizards. I choose to use this method to end the possible war, but it does not mean that I will unconditionally fight with Grindelwald. I will supervise all his actions..."

Bang bang bang…

Bang bang bang bang...

Someone suddenly burst into applause from the crowd.

This burst of applause interrupted Dumbledore's words, causing Dumbledore to involuntarily look in the direction of the applause. That person was the Minister of Magic of Finland.

However, Dumbledore's face immediately became serious. He immediately held a wand in his palm and looked at the Finnish Minister of Magic with cold eyes.

"You are still so brave..."

"Now that you're here, I have to entertain the guests..."

A slight smile flashed across the lips of the Finnish Minister of Magic.

Just when everyone present was confused, the Minister of Magic slowly stroked his hair, and his appearance and body shape quickly began to change!

In a blink of an eye!

The Finnish Minister of Magic turned into a middle-aged man with white hair!

A man who made all the Ministry of Magic in Europe tremble with fear when they saw him!

A man who absolutely shouldn't be there!

Gellert Grindelwald!

How dare this guy show up at a meeting to discuss dealing with him!
