Starting Over at Hogwarts

In fact.

Dumbledore never thought the Aurors could capture Peter Pettigrew.

Because he knew very well that Peter Pettigrew was a master of transfiguration that transcended cognition. As long as he turned into a little sparrow, he could leave safely, and he was unlikely to be caught by the Aurors anyway.

However, this team of Aurors couldn't even stop him.

While Dumbledore and Grindelwald were fighting in Godric's Hollow, the magic barrier covering the sky suddenly began to melt away like ice and snow.

Grindelwald and Dumbledore, who were still fighting fiercely, quickly noticed this scene. They both knew that someone was coming here!

"It seems that the person who helped me came here first."

A slight smile flashed across Grindelwald's lips.

"Um?"

Dumbledore's brows immediately frowned. When he raised his head, he saw a short and fat figure appearing in the sky. His expression immediately became ugly. His fingers were tightly holding his Elder Wand!

Sure enough, Peter Pettigrew arrived.

In this case, it would be difficult to keep Grindelwald anyway.

Dumbledore's eyes were fixed on Grindelwald in front of him, and he didn't know how to speak for a long time. Anyone who saw his eyes could read the disappointment in these eyes.

"Well, see you next time."

Grindelwald chuckled and waved at him.

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald, whose body instantly twisted and disappeared. A touch of anger finally appeared on his face. As if to vent his anger, he waved his wand and threw a spell at the short and fat figure in the sky!

Peter the Little Star disappeared from the sky at the same time.

Dumbledore was left standing alone on the land of Godric's Hollow, sitting on a stone with some dejection, looking at the devastated village after the war.

The failure of this plan was no big deal.

Ravenclaw's crown was taken away, Grindelwald's reappearance and Peter Pettigrew's disappearance were all troubles that could make Dumbledore mentally and physically exhausted.

certainly.

Peter Pettigrew could no longer hide.

No.

wrong.

This is not a good thing.

Because based on Dumbledore's suspicion of Peter Pettigrew, this may mean that Peter Pettigrew believes that his power is strong enough and there is no need to hide himself anymore.

Perhaps the only thing that can be called a good thing is that Sirius Black's grievances have been cleared and he can be released from Azkaban.

Other than that.

Dumbledore had no time to think about other things. He had to return to Hogwarts immediately to check the situation, hoping that Phoenix Fox could protect the Sorting Hat according to his arrangements and prevent Gryffindor's sword from being lost.

When Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, there were still many wounded throughout the school.

A group of injured Aurors were temporarily placed in Madam Pomfrey's school doctor's office. The professors were in good condition. Among the deans of the four major colleges, the other deans were not injured at all. Only Si Snape, the head of Lytlein, suffered a mental and physical breakdown, and he hid in his office to recover from his injuries.

Most importantly, Phoenix Fox protected the Sorting Hat.

Peter Pettigrew attacked Hogwarts, but did not get the treasure he wanted most.

However, after Dumbledore and the Minister of Magic Millicent Barnold finished talking about Peter Pettigrew, when he went to check on Snape's injuries, he seemed to see the Snape who had learned of Lily's death.

"Snape, what happened?"

"Dumbledore, please leave me alone for a moment."

Snape sat on the floor of his office, just looking up at the ceiling and crying silently.

"…good."

Dumbledore could only pat him on the shoulder gently to express his relief.

Although Dumbledore still didn't know what happened, Snape clearly had no intention of communicating.

Sometimes, if you can let a sad man stay alone for a while, it can help him adjust his mood better than any words or actions of comfort.

It wasn't until Dumbledore took a few cautious steps back, about to close the door and leave, that Snape suddenly said, "That guy...maybe going to Gaunt's old house."

Gunter's old house.

This is the abandoned house of the Gaunt family, a pure-blood wizarding family.

The Gaunt family had been prominent for a time and were descendants of Salazar Slytherin, the founder of Hogwarts. All members of the entire surname are now dead, and only one external descendant may still exist.

Among the last descendants of the Gunter family.

A witch named Merope Gaunt fell in love with a handsome Muggle young man named Tom Riddle. Later, she used a love potion to trick the Muggle young man into eloping and marrying her.

It turns out that Merope Gaunt is pregnant, and the love potion suddenly loses its effectiveness.

This young Muggle named Tom Riddle hated wizards so much that he abandoned his pregnant witch wife.

On a snowy night, Merope Gaunt gave birth to her child at the door of an orphanage, and before she died, she gave the child, a hybrid of Muggle and witch, a name.

The name of the man I love most.

Tom Riddle.

This mixed-race child is the future Voldemort.

Gaunt's old house is Voldemort's grandfather's house, which means that Voldemort may have done something in that old house, and Peter Pettigrew may go to that old house.

Dumbledore did not dare to delay.

However, at this time, he was still a step too late.

Just as Dumbledore hurried to Gaunt's old house, the old house was completely reduced to ashes, and a fire buried all the secrets hidden in it.

In fact.

Not only could Dumbledore not find out, but even Grindelwald didn't know.

late at night.

Greenland.

On the desolate ice field.

Grindelwald put his hands in his pockets and looked at the man who looked like Peter Pettigrew standing in the ice and snow. He couldn't help but said: "I remember that the surname Gaunt fell into decline a long time ago. Did you get anything from it?"

"Another Horcrux."

While Peter Pettigrew was talking, he carefully held a ring set with a black gemstone with his sleeve. He directly buckled the black gemstone with his strong strength, and then put the ring and Ravenclaw's diadem together. On the ice sheet.

"So, we found two Horcruxes?"

Grindelwald's expression became a little strange.

Because one of the reasons why he chose to join the Wesson Wright camp was to destroy Voldemort's Horcruxes. Unexpectedly, he had already obtained two of Voldemort's Horcruxes just after he joined!

This kind of thing…

It doesn’t seem that difficult!

etc…

Why are there two?

"How many Horcruxes did that guy make?"

Grindelwald's eyes finally changed. He stared at the crown and ring on the ground, and continued: "To make a Horcrux, you need to split your own soul..."

"Now it's seven copies."

Peter Pettigrew raised his palm.

A ball of silver-white fire suddenly fell on the snowfield, lighting up the snowfield in the middle of the night. When this ball of fire touched the two Horcruxes, it immediately caused the soul fragments hidden in them to fluctuate violently!

Because of this fierce fire...

Able to dissolve the soul within it!

Until the two Horcruxes finally couldn't bear the pain of the soul fragments melting, two streams of black smoke burst out from the two Horcruxes, spiraling around to form a black mist covering an area of ​​hundreds of meters!

In the dark mist!

A ferocious face slowly emerged!

This hideous and terrifying face roared angrily and silently at the two people on the ground!

Peter Pettigrew raised his head and looked at the face, and suddenly a proud smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand, opened his mouth, and said a word silently, as if the person behind the face could see it.

Under the firelight.

This Peter Pettigrew's face looks particularly hateful.

next moment!

The silver-white fierce fire suddenly sprang up!

This black mist was quickly burned away by the fierce fire!

The two Horcruxes on the ground were also completely melted and disappeared by the fierce fire.

It wasn't until the Horcruxes were completely destroyed that Peter Pettigrew's appearance slowly changed and he regained his true self, a handsome and gentle gray-haired boy.

"How prudent."

Grindelwald glanced at the gray-haired boy with a somewhat confused expression. It was hard to tell whether it was disgust or helplessness: "The owner of a Horcrux has a certain chance of seeing the Horcrux destroyed at the moment before the soul in the Horcrux completely dies. That scene..."

However.

The image that the owner of the Horcrux saw was Peter Pettigrew destroying the Horcrux.

Even on this occasion, this little guy still hides his identity.

It is not unreasonable for this little guy to be able to keep Dumbledore and Voldemort under control. This caution alone is not something ordinary people can pay attention to.

"He's still alive."

Wesson just shook his head indifferently and said rather casually: "No matter how weak Voldemort is now, he can still live strong, or he has to live even if life is worse than death."

This is the drawback of making Horcruxes.

Because once a Horcrux is created, it is equivalent to immortality. Even after the body dies, the remaining soul can only wander around helplessly in search of a body that can allow it to parasitize.

Albanian forest.

A small snake crawled on the ground.

Just when it was eyeing the mouse in the forest and planning to go over carefully and bite it in one bite, a sharp pain instantly swept through its body from its brain!

Along with this severe pain, the snake soon gradually lost its vitality.

A mass of black mist quietly diffused directly from its body, and this mass of black mist slowly gathered into a floating illusory soul.

A terrifying look appeared on this soul's face!

This terrifying face became more and more ferocious, and its mouth was angrily trying to scream out a sentence, but because it had not communicated for a long time, even the words were incomplete.

at last.

This soul finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Until he had to possess a mouse and uttered a complete sentence angrily.

"Peter, you little mouse, how dare you betray your master!"
