Starting Over at Hogwarts

Christmas.

A household in London.

Every family seems to have received a gift from Santa Claus.

There was a package on their family table with a gift from Santa Claus on it, which aroused the surprise of these Muggles.

Every Muggle was holding a thick book with some surprise and pointing at the contents in the book with the people next to them, as if they were very curious about the contents.

"Like a movie?"

"Can a piece of paper be like a TV?"

"Is this magic? Is this writer named Gilderoy Lockhart a wizard? Do wizards really exist?"

"It must exist!"

These people are ordinary Muggles.

Most people in London have only heard of magic legends and have never seen magic really appear around them. No one would have thought that they would receive messages from the magical world on Christmas Day. Gift.

All over London…

For the first time, I truly saw the existence of magic.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Ministry of Magic. After all, the Ministry of Magic is in London. Groups of Aurors had to come forward to collect these magics and use the Amnesia Curse to erase the citizens' memories of magic.

"Who did this?"

The current Minister of Magic, Amelia Bones, looked at the group of Ministry of Magic officials in front of her with displeasure: "One Christmas night, the news spread all over London, and now the whole of England is spreading magic!"

"It hasn't been found yet..."

Old Barty Crouch, the director of the Department of Legal Enforcement, threw a thick stack of magic books on his desk and said softly: "But all the magic books confiscated are from Gilderoy Loha." Written by Te, the suspicion on him is the greatest..."

"Then go check it out."

Amelia Bones looked up at Barty Crouch Sr., nodded, and was about to turn around to leave. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "Wait, I remember Girod. ·Lockhart…”

Old Barty Crouch quickly picked up the conversation and said, seemingly unintentionally: "He is the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts this semester. We should probably meet Dumbledore first..."

Amelia Bones hesitated for a second, and her eyes suddenly became serious: "Mr. Crouch, let the Aurors seal Hogwarts first and search whether Gilderoy Lockhart is involved. To find out the evidence of this Christmas incident, go see Dumbledore again..."

"besides…"

"Mr. Crouch..."

Amelia Bones looked at Old Barty Crouch and continued: "I'll leave it to you to deal with it. Recover all the leaked magic books as soon as possible. I'm going to the International Federation of Wizards to explain. This leak of wizards and the wizarding world..."

"yes."

Barty Crouch Sr. nodded slowly.

Fortunately, this accident is still in the UK and is preventable and controllable for the Ministry of Magic. They also have some experience in dealing with Muggle memories on a large scale.

It's just a little troublesome.

While the Ministry of Magic was in trouble over this Christmas incident, the atmosphere in the principal's office at Hogwarts seemed calm and peaceful.

Albus Dumbledore and Grindelwald were sitting in the office drinking black tea. Next to them, Aberforth Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald with a sullen face. Ariana Dumbledore's soul was free of worries. Floating beside my brother anxiously...

to be honest…

Surrounded by a group of Dumbledores, especially under the watchful eye of his old enemy Aberforth, Grindelwald could still sit down and drink tea. He was really too mentally strong...

No wonder Aberforth hated Grindelwald.

Because his illegitimate son Credence and sister Ariana both died in the crisis caused by Grindelwald by accident. Whenever the family reunited at Christmas, it was Aberforth who hated Greene the most. When DeVoe...

"What are you doing!"

Aberforth snorted coldly and tightened his grip on his crutch. He looked like he wanted to pick up his crutch and smash Grindelwald's head in.

"Spending Christmas with you..."

Grindelwald took a slow sip of tea, and even teased Ariana's soul with great interest, without any consciousness of being a murderer.

"Don't touch her!"

Aberforth Dumbledore suddenly stretched out his crutch and put it on Grindelwald's shoulder: "Don't touch Ariana!"

"OK."

Grindelwald retracted his palm with a smile.

Aberforth stared at him coldly, wanting to make a big fuss in this office. It wasn't that he didn't know the danger of fighting Grindelwald, he just couldn't restrain his hatred!

Just when Aberforth was about to scold the first-generation Dark Lord, there was a knock on the door. Just as Albus Dumbledore opened his mouth to agree, Professor Minerva McGonagall was impatient. He rushed in patiently!

"Dumbledore!"

After Professor Minerva McGonagall walked into the office, she looked at the two Dumbledores and one Dumbledore's soul in the office. She frowned slightly and continued: "Albus, a group of Aurors have arrived. School, they asked to search Hogwarts and take away Professor Gilderoy Lockhart!"

Apparently.

There is also a problem with the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this semester!

"I see."

Albus Dumbledore's expression showed no panic at all. He glanced at Grindelwald, who was still sitting there leisurely, and continued: "Minerva, you go to Professor Lockhart first. I will Rush there right away…”

"good!"

Professor Minerva McGonagall quickly agreed.

After she left, Dumbledore looked at his brother again and said softly: "Aberforth, take Ariana out to play for a while. I have something to discuss with Gellert..."

"…snort!"

Aberforth snorted coldly, glared at Grindelwald fiercely, and then left the office with his sister's soul.

There were only two people left in the entire office.

Dumbledore looked at his old friend, looked at him with determination and said, "Gellert, you came to Hogwarts last night...you know what happened..."

"Ok, I know."

Grindelwald drank black tea elegantly, raised his fingertips slightly, and lowered his eyebrows: "Gilderoy Lockhart is a very interesting person, he has very dangerous ideas... just like me in the seventies. The same dangerous thoughts I had before..."

"You did it?"

"Someone asked me to do it."

Grindelwald answered him calmly and continued softly: "Someone seduced that idiot Gilderoy Lockhart and wanted to rekindle the dangerous wave in the wizarding world seventy years ago... I have no way of refusing him. …”

When Grindelwald said this, he stretched out his finger and watched quietly as grooves appeared on his finger, and blood slowly oozed from the groove...

"Albus..."

"I can't fight that person..."

"As long as I have the slightest intention of resisting him, the curse he has placed on me will destroy my life and make me unable to move at all..."

"Just like we can't resist the blood oath we made..."

"No…"

"Compared to the blood oath we made back then..."

"His curse is like his whole being..."

"Danger…"

"fatal…"
