Starting Over at Hogwarts

Gellert Grindelwald.

This name can be said to be thunderous.

Just as wizards grew up hearing the name of Albus Dumbledore, they will all remember Albus Dumbledore's greatest achievement, defeating the first Dark Lord Gellert Grindelwald.

Any wizard must have heard of this name.

"Hahahaha... you like to joke too much."

Rita Skeeter's laughter suddenly became a little loud. She couldn't help laughing loudly: "How is it possible? How could someone like Grindelwald appear in this place..."

Had it not been for Rita Skeeter, a Ravenclaw, whose attention had been drawn to her all day long by the Ravenclaw diadem, there would have been no way this woman would have missed another big news.

Because it's no secret that the Ministry of Magic has an emergency meeting.

As long as Rita Skeeter is willing, she will soon know the news of Gellert Grindelwald's escape from Nurmengard Castle, but it is a pity that this woman's whole body and mind are trapped in the crown of Ravenclaw On top of this gimmick.

Just as Rita Skeeter laughed loudly, a group of people heard her voice. Many senior officials of the Ministry of Magic who knew the news couldn't help but frowned. They couldn't help but want to see who was telling this person. Journalists leaked the news.

With their eyes…

Many people in the crowd gradually looked towards this area.

Among the people present, there were also many elderly people.

One of the elderly couples couldn't help but look along the crowd. They also saw the old man standing next to Ms. Bathilda Bagshot, and thus also saw those breathtaking eyes!

The couple immediately stared involuntarily, looking at the old man with a gentle face in disbelief. The wife of the couple covered her lips and let out an exclamation!

"Grindelwald!"

"Grindelwald?"

"What did Mrs. Scamander say?"

"She's talking about Grindelwald! Grindelwald!"

The whole venue immediately became a commotion!

Just when many people thought that Mrs. Scamander had recognized the wrong person, Grindelwald smiled and waved to the couple, as if he had met an old friend for many years.

"Hi Tina, Newt, long time no see."

After Grindelwald said hello, he slowly raised his hands and stroked his hair bit by bit from his forehead. With his movements, his whole appearance also changed rapidly!

A head of wanton white hair!

The arrogant face of a middle-aged man!

This is what Grindelwald looked like when he was wreaking havoc across Europe. Wizards in the entire magical world have seen him like this, or this is people's impression of Grindelwald!

Grindelwald completed his gorgeous transformation with an indifferent expression. He watched the elderly couple twist their necks and sighed: "Tina, Newt, it seems that we are old friends. I originally I thought you would only recognize me when I look like this..."

Yes.

Grindelwald considers himself an old friend.

Newt Scamander, Tina Goldstein.

This couple caused a lot of trouble to his career when he was young. Even when he was defeated at the hands of Dumbledore, they also had troubles caused by this couple.

"I will never forget you."

Newt Scamander patted his wife's palm, slowly walked out of the crowd, and said honestly: "Your eyes are very unique, especially your right eye, which is as charming as a gem..."

"Newt!"

Newt Scamander's wife looked furious.

When Tina Goldstein heard Newt Scamander praise Grindelwald, she felt like she was really going to be pissed off by her husband. Could this man not be so honest? And how much emotional intelligence does he have? Low!

When he was with her back then, he would only praise her eyes as charming as salamanders. How come he still knows how to use gems as a metaphor when praising Grindelwald now? Although Tina knew very well that what Newt said was true, it still did not prevent her from being dissatisfied with her husband!

This is too much!

"Thank you very much for the compliment."

Grindelwald gracefully bent over and saluted Newt Scamander, then slowly turned his head to look at the female reporter Rita Skeeter beside him, and said with a smile: "I'm so sorry, I'm anxious. I came to the banquet and forgot to get a wand. Madam, can I borrow your wand now?"

"...of course..."

Rita Skeeter looked a little panicked.

The female reporter carefully took out the wand from her handbag. She was so frightened that she almost collapsed. Who can tell her what she should do when she encounters the Dark Lord during an interview?

"The material of the stick body is maple wood, and the core of the stick is the heart nerve of the fire dragon."

Grindelwald fiddled with the wand and revealed the material of Rita Skeeter's wand in one word, because Grindelwald knew the wand-making process very well.

"You're right."

Rita Skeeter answered carefully.

"A pretty good wand."

Grindelwald complimented him casually and continued slowly: "If I remember correctly, what should a wand like this do if it wants to surrender to its new owner?"

"I…"

Rita Skeeter was stunned.

However, Grindelwald suddenly waved the wand, and a spell directly knocked Rita Skeeter away from the banquet. Many wizards at the banquet immediately took out their wands and aimed at them. Target him!

"I don't want to do it either."

Grindelwald stroked the wand in his hand and sighed softly: "It's a pity that I have to do this. Only by defeating the original master will it surrender to its new master..."

"Grindelwald, why are you here!"

Newt Scamander and his wife pointed their wands at Grindelwald and stared at him with vigilance: "If I remember correctly, you should be in Nurmengard now..."

"He escaped from prison."

An official from the British Ministry of Magic quickly reminded Newt Scamander in a low voice: "On Christmas Eve last night, Grindelwald had escaped from Nurmengard Prison..."

"..."

Newt Scamander was speechless.

Now that you all know that Grindelwald escaped from prison, why not be more vigilant?

The Ministry of Magic official continued in a low voice: "Mr. Scamander, we have sent someone to find Dumbledore. He should be here soon."

Of course.

Dumbledore should be here immediately.

Because Dumbledore was sitting by a fireplace at this time, whether Peter Pettigrew appeared in Godric's Hollow or Hogwarts, he could rush there quickly through the Floo Network.

Bang!

A flaming smoke rose from the fireplace.

A man in black robes appeared in front of Dumbledore. It was Severus Snape, the potions professor at Hogwarts. His expression was more solemn than ever before.

"Peter Pettigrew appears!"

While holding his wand, Snape introduced the situation in a deep voice: "Just when I came, he had broken through the defensive barrier of Hogwarts. We must go back immediately..."

"Grindelwald!"

"Grindelwald is here!"

Suddenly there was a burst of exclamations outside the bedroom window.

Dumbledore's expression immediately changed, because he knew that what these people shouted could not be false. After all, he had received the news about Grindelwald's escape from Nurmengard last night!

"..."

The atmosphere in the entire bedroom instantly became tense.

The Christmas plans originally made in advance went awry.

Dumbledore didn't receive the news of Grindelwald's escape from prison until late last night, so he had no time to perfect his plan, and he never expected that Grindelwald and Peter Pettigrew would step into different traps at the same time.

Did they plan this?

Because the worst situation Dumbledore expected last night was that when he and Peter Pettigrew were fighting in one of the places today, Grindelwald might come to the rescue.

The result is now...

It turned out that two people were acting separately!

Aren't they afraid of being defeated one by one?

However, before that, Dumbledore must quickly make a multiple choice question. Should he choose Grindelwald who appears in Godric's Hollow or Peter Pettigrew who appears in Hogwarts?

Just think about it.

The answer to this multiple-choice question is obvious.

Dumbledore pressed Snape's shoulder with one hand and said in a deep voice: "Severus, let Minerva find a way to hold Peter back. I will go back as soon as I resolve the matter in Godric's Hollow!"

"..."

Snape nodded slowly.

Snape didn't know why Grindelwald appeared, but seeing that Dumbledore might have known about it for a long time, Snape also understood Dumbledore's choice.

If Grindelwald appears in Godric's Hollow, Peter Pettigrew may be easier to deal with than the first generation Dark Lord Grindelwald.

The professors at Hogwarts School are also very capable.

After Dumbledore made his decision, of course he was not willing to just give up the opportunity to capture Peter Pettigrew. He continued in a deep voice: "Millicent happens to be here too. I will ask her to send Aurors there immediately. Hogwarts support…”

Millicent Barnold is the Minister for Magic.

And this minister was also born in Ravenclaw College.

As a matter of course, the Minister of Magic will appear at this banquet today.

If the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic can arrive in time, they should be able to capture Peter Pettigrew. The only thing that is uncertain is how much power Peter Pettigrew gained when he followed Voldemort...

Hogwarts.

A short, fat man walked across the stone bridge step by step.

The short, fat man walked towards the square of Hogwarts with a smile on his face. He looked at the row of professors standing in the square holding up their wands and smiled at them: "Please, don't be so nervous. Everyone here should be happy." Yes, because your story will definitely be recorded in the legend of the third Dark Lord."
