Starting Over at Hogwarts

Luna always speaks seriously.

When Wesson calmly reaches out to an animal, the animal will come over obediently, let him pet it for a while, and then leave obediently.

The animals of this world…

Do you really seem a little afraid of him?

Cedric and Amos Diggory certainly didn't think so. The father and son believed that Wesson was very popular with animals, and it was much easier for them to help feed and clean these magical animals.

Luna will also help feed them.

The blond girl likes taking care of Yue Chimon very much.

The Moon-Crazy Beasts are a group of four-hoofed magical animals with big eyes on their heads but petite and cute bodies. They are a little shy and like to come out when the moon is full.

When these moon-crazed beasts see Luna, they always come over to surround her, perhaps because they know that Luna will definitely feed them when she comes.

As for meeting Wesson...

This group of moon-crazed beasts will raise their big heads and start dancing.

However, generally speaking, they only like to dance in circles when the moon is full, which makes Wesson unable to tell whether they are afraid of him or like him.

Such as this time.

Just as Luna stretched out her little hand to feed these moon-crazy beasts, they suddenly stopped while eating, then stood together and began to dance in circles.

"Wesen?"

Luna turned around subconsciously.

Wesen couldn't help but twitch in the corners of his eyes. He looked at a group of moon-crazy beasts standing in a circle and dancing. He shook his head speechlessly and moved a little away from here.

As if their brains had returned to normal, the group of little moon-crazed beasts immediately dispersed into formation and gathered around the blonde girl, blinking and opening their mouths, waiting for her to feed them.

Life in this small village is very peaceful.

Wesson's life in the village had been a fruitful summer.

Since Cedric kept more than twenty kinds of magical animals in his home, Wesson stroked every magical animal he saw one by one, like a collection of illustrated books, which increased his strength a lot.

In addition to starting to waste Galleons to give Sniff to get the [Invisible Stretch Spell], some of the remaining magical animals seemed to be less famous, leaving Wesson only getting some magic points and health bonuses.

These magical animals allowed Wesen to gain a total of 1,900 magic points and 700 health points, which is almost equivalent to a troublesome mission with rich rewards.

to be honest.

Wesen had a great time this summer vacation.

The entire magical world has been living on tenterhooks.

No one knows where the Dark Lord Peter is hiding. This Dark Lord suddenly became quiet after attacking the Ministry of Magic, which made everyone a little panicked.

only.

Things have to be done eventually.

On July 24, 1990, Cornelius Fudge became Minister for Magic.

On the day the new Minister of Magic took office, he publicly announced a series of major moves by the Ministry of Magic, telling the entire wizarding world that they could still insist on protecting the safety of the people.

Many people had no intention of believing them, but Dumbledore stood beside Cornelius Fudge, giving everyone a little more confidence in the Ministry of Magic.

This made Cornelius Fudge a little embarrassed.

Because Dumbledore's appearance stabilized the Ministry of Magic, which had been attacked by the Dark Lord, it also made Cornelius Fudge seem to be living in Dumbledore's shadow, everything he did in the Ministry of Magic. Blido was directing his hands and feet.

even.

Cornelius Fudge feels like he's still taking the blame.

The entire Ministry of Magic's top officials knew that Dumbledore proposed negotiations with Grindelwald, but Cornelius Fudge, as Minister, had to express his position on behalf of the Ministry of Magic.

The Daily Prophet published a very brief report titled "We brought peace for a generation", which attracted criticism from many people...

This kind of thing...

Isn't it really an open surrender to the Dark Lord?

Cornelius Fudge felt like he was having a terrible time.

Now Fudge's only hope is that Dumbledore can quickly capture Peter Pettigrew, the Dark Lord, and completely stabilize the wizarding world.

In fact.

Dumbledore worked very hard.

The old man negotiated peace with Grindelwald not just to allow himself to enjoy a safe holiday. He put the third-generation Dark Lord Peter Pettigrew in an isolated and helpless situation and took advantage of this time to catch him.

However.

Peter Pettigrew seemed to have disappeared.

Peter Pettigrew is an advanced Animagus with at least three animal forms. As long as he wants to hide himself, others can't catch him at all.

Perhaps because the alliance between Peter Pettigrew and Grindelwald broke down, he knew that he could not face Dumbledore alone, so he carefully hid in the wizarding world.

Dumbledore arranged several tempting baits in succession, and even secretly hid in Hogsmeade for a few days, but never fished out Peter Pettigrew.

This gave the old man a headache.

Now Dumbledore is a little regretful about negotiating with Grindelwald, so that he can have a target, otherwise he would not have to sit there like this...

Boom, boom, boom.

An owl tapped on the glass of the principal's office.

Dumbledore looked at the owl and his eyelids couldn't help but tremble. He opened the window and let the owl fly in. He reached out and took off the letter from the owl.

Letter from Durmstrang.

Grindelwald will send him a letter every week.

The contents of these letters are varied, such as discussing the use of a certain magical material, discussing a certain spell Grindelwald has recently researched, and even discussing the dangers of sniffing this animal.

Of course.

The most discussed of them all.

Or there are differences in educational philosophies between the two.

Grindelwald believes that students need to set a goal and let them move towards this goal; Dumbledore believes that every student will have a future that he needs to face and cannot be limited to one goal.

Today’s letter is exceptional.

Or it could be a letter of guilt.

Grindelwald offered to invite Newt Scamander to Durmstrang to teach the Care of Magical Creatures class, so that students could learn to protectively extract materials from magical creatures.

This kind of invitation is a bit like a joke...

Or maybe it's more Grindelwald intimidating past enemies.

Of course.

Newt Scamander certainly wouldn't dare go.

In fact, this magical creature protection expert really doesn't want to go.

As an honest Hufflepuff, Newt Scamander stated very seriously that he accepted Dumbledore's invitation to be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts for the next school year.

[Albus, are the students I asked Newt to teach to be used against me? 】

The letter sent by Grindelwald only had one sentence, but it already stated that he already knew these things and directly expressed his dissatisfaction with Newt Scamander.

Dumbledore looked at the letter in silence for a long time.

The old man felt that his life was becoming more and more unstable, so he wrote a tactfully worded letter back to Grindelwald, hoping that this letter could appease Grindelwald.

Now Dumbledore actually hopes that the holidays are over...

Because as soon as the students start school, he can reopen the school in the name of defending Peter Pettigrew from sneaking into Hogwarts, so he no longer has to worry about Grindelwald's letter.

Very unfortunately.

Grindelwald seemed to have guessed this.

Before the start of school at Hogwarts, Grindelwald wrote a letter to Dumbledore, telling him good news that made Dumbledore feel a little heartbroken.

[As a reward for communication, I will tell you a piece of news. 】

[That coward made a Horcrux out of a live rat. 】

[After the last time we met, I went back and destroyed his Horcrux, and his soul was also damaged. I could clearly feel that he couldn't even maintain the stability of his soul. 】

[Maybe he is hiding in a corner to recover from his injuries, or maybe he is making a new Horcrux. There is no need to worry about that coward showing up in half a year or even a year. 】

Dumbledore immediately felt bad.

Why didn't Grindelwald say this earlier?

But this letter…

In fact, it is to put the finishing touches to Wesson's work.

According to the information Grindelwald received from Barty Crouch Sr. and a woman named Pandora, Wesson seemed to be spending the summer vacation at his classmate's home. Since the last attack on the Ministry of Magic, Wesson has not used Peter Pettigrew. If your identity comes out again, you will cause trouble.

No matter what, there must be an explanation for this matter.

After all, Dumbledore wasted a lot of time during this holiday. Some of the traps used baits that even Grindelwald is a little tempted by, including Nicolas Flamel's Philosopher's Stone!

result.

Peter Pettigrew didn't get in.

This matter might arouse Dumbledore's suspicion.

In order to dispel Dumbledore's suspicion, Grindelwald directly found a reason to do this, so that Dumbledore had no reason to continue to close the school and block communications.

As for whether Peter Pettigrew will appear in the future or something...

According to Grindelwald's guess, the probability of this is really low.

As long as Wesen doesn't cause any trouble during the holidays, basically once Hogwarts starts school, there is a high probability that there will be no chance of causing trouble again.

Nordic.

Durmstrang.

Grindelwald sat in his headmaster's office.

This man still maintains his middle-aged appearance, still playing with the pocket watch in his palm, with a smirk hanging on the corner of his mouth: "Dumbledore's expression must be very exciting now, right? He is Nico Flamel That old guy took out all his magic stones..."

"but…"

"That kid is still not tempted..."

Grindelwald's palm slowly touched his pocket watch, his expression gradually became serious, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "I don't know what will make him tempted. Maybe there is nothing in the world that makes him want. What a terrible child..."
