Starting Over at Hogwarts

sometimes.

I really don’t blame Grindelwald for hating Newt Scamander.

While Grindelwald and Wesson were working hard to capture Peter Pettigrew, Newt Scamander and Dumbledore were sitting in the Black family's ancestral home chatting together.

Since only Newt Scamander and his wife had the experience of dealing with Grindelwald, Dumbledore naturally did not want to leave them idle, and even hoped that Newt Scamander would do him a small favor.

"Newt."

Dumbledore put his palms on the table and looked at his former students seriously: "Next year, Professor Amelia Bones will no longer be able to teach. Grindelwald is here. I hope you can come to Huodu." Gwartz, professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts..."

"Dumbledore, I'm getting older..."

Newt Scamander immediately wanted to say no.

"One year, it only takes one year."

Dumbledore leaned forward slightly, his expression becoming more and more sincere as he said, "Not many people know about Grindelwald anymore. Only you have experienced it yourself, Newt..."

Dumbledore looked at the pondering Newt Scamander and continued: "We all know that the most terrifying thing about Grindelwald has never been his magic, but his thoughts..."

Yes.

Grindelwald doesn't like to show off his power.

The most worrying thing about Grindelwald has always been his thoughts and language. A Dark Lord who can let dangerous thoughts sneak into the hearts of others is the person who does the most harm to the magical world.

Many years ago, there was a saying spread throughout the European wizarding world: if you believe in Grindelwald, then you have followed the greatest wizard pioneer in the world; if you are against Grindelwald, then as long as you listen to him give a speech and you'll believe him after five minutes.

This is what scares the top brass at the Ministry of Magic the most about Grindelwald.

Many Auror wizards who went to encircle Grindelwald even chose to betray the Ministry of Magic and convert to his service after hearing Grindelwald's speech.

Grindelwald has always been very ruthless in killing wizards.

Because most of the time, Grindelwald did not need to use these methods to make people surrender. Many people would spontaneously become weapons in Grindelwald's hands. Even the British Ministry of Magic, which was on the edge of Europe, had experienced wizards spontaneously Become a Grindelwald advocate.

Compared to Voldemort's methods...

Grindelwald has always been a gentle fang.

However, this method is particularly deadly and dangerous.

Newt Scamander raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore, who had a serious and sincere face, and said with some restraint: "Dumbledore, I might not be able to do it..."

Just like many years ago, when Dumbledore asked him to do something, Newt Scamander always thought he couldn't do it.

However, just like many years ago, when Dumbledore heard this sentence, he whispered: "Do you know why I like you, Newt? Because you have something that others don't have..."

When Dumbledore said this, he looked at the somewhat astonished Newt Scamander and continued to praise him softly: "Newt, you have never been keen on power and fame. You will always only care about what you do." Now you can think about whether what you did is right..."

"..."

Newt Scamander fell silent.

At this moment, he felt that what Dumbledore said sounded familiar. He slowly lowered his head and said, "But I have always thought that you are the best Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Maybe you can do it yourself..."

"There's more to me."

Dumbledore slowly shook his head, and clasped his fingers on the newspaper on the table: "Newt, it's not just Grindelwald who is in danger now, there is someone more dangerous than him."

Yes.

Peter Pettigrew is no less dangerous than Grindelwald.

Although Peter Pettigrew is not a charming character, this kind of plan to hide in the dark and perform conspiracy is equally dangerous. Even Dumbledore already knew that he was being plotted by Peter Pettigrew.

That is Voldemort who has not yet returned from resurrection.

Peter Pettigrew, an insidious student, has been constantly using others. He is using Dumbledore to deal with the unresurrected Voldemort, and using Grindelwald to deal with Dumbledore.

No one knows what other conspiracies he has.

Just as the two of them fell into silence, Sirius Black suddenly walked over and tugged at his clothes with an uneasy expression: "Dumbledore, something might have happened at the Burrow. The Weasleys haven't come over yet. The road leading to the Burrow is... The Floo network is down..."

Unfortunately.

These people are still a step too late.

Because when they arrived at the Burrow, the Weasley family had already fallen to the ground, leaving only the two youngest children, Ron and Ginny, holding their parents and crying.

"They are still alive..."

Sirius checked on the family and felt a little relieved.

However, when Arthur Weasley and his wife woke up, they told Dumbledore about Grindelwald's appearance at the Burrow in detail, which made the old man immediately look uneasy.

"Grindelwald..."

Dumbledore pinched his fingers and stared at Arthur Weasley closely, hoping to hear the answer again: "Come here to find Peter Pettigrew's Horcrux?"

"Yes, Ron's pet Scabbers."

Arthur Weasley nodded quickly and glanced at his youngest son: "It used to be Percy's pet. It seemed to be just an ordinary mouse..."

"mouse!"

Sirius Black's expression immediately became serious. He immediately took Peter Pettigrew's Animagus form and couldn't help but continue to ask: "What does that mouse look like..."

"We've had it for many years..."

Arthur Weasley recalled the appearance of the mouse, glanced at his lost little son and said, "It used to be Percy's pet. It was missing a toe, and it actually didn't look very good..."

"You still lose hair, right?"

After asking, Sirius got the accurate answer, and his face immediately became particularly ugly: "That's what Peter Pettigrew's Animagus looks like after transformation!"

"..."

Dumbledore couldn't help but slowly shook his head.

Because Peter Pettigrew's Animagus transformation has at least three forms, the mouse taken away by Grindelwald may have been transformed by Peter Pettigrew's soul fragment.

Now he needs to think about two things.

The first thing is that Peter Pettigrew created Horcruxes like Voldemort, which means that having Horcruxes can make him immortal, which makes it difficult to kill him completely:

The second thing is, why did Grindelwald come looking for Peter Pettigrew’s Horcrux?

Did they have a falling out?

So far.

Grindelwald has a Horcrux of Voldemort and a Horcrux of Peter Pettigrew in his hands. Does this mean that Grindelwald is unlikely to be willing to accommodate his two descendants...

Guys like the Dark Lord...

The mere existence of one feels like enough.

Now theoretically speaking, including the still-living Voldemort, the three Dark Lords are now in the magical world. How can they definitely plot against each other to eliminate their opponents?

If anyone dares to join the Dark Lord's camp during this period, there is a high probability that he will become cannon fodder in the competition between the Dark Lords.

Times are changing.

The wizarding world may be about to experience one of its most terrifying involutions ever.

After all, even the Dark Lord has to compete to become the most terrifying one.

According to Dumbledore's speculation, this incident is almost bound to happen, because neither Grindelwald nor Voldemort are inferior to others, and Peter Pettigrew cannot bow his head even after enduring it for so many years...

Now they are all plotting against each other.

Maybe Peter Pettigrew has been killed by Grindelwald? Otherwise, why would he look for the Horcrux left by Peter Pettigrew in such a big way?

certainly.

Nothing is settled.

If Grindelwald and Peter Pettigrew haven't broken up yet, it's most likely because they have the same interests, which forces them to put aside these conflicts.

"..."

Dumbledore's frown deepened.

If there is anything else that Grindelwald and Peter Pettigrew must face, it is undoubtedly to deal with him, the most powerful white wizard. Maybe Voldemort may also join in when he is resurrected...

like…

A little dangerous.

Dumbledore suddenly realized that he was in trouble.

Don't blame Dumbledore for overthinking.

Because the three Dark Lords all had some grudges with him.

In fact, the entire magical world actually looks very dangerous, but it is unlikely that there will be any big trouble for the time being, because the time has not yet come for those behind the scenes.

the most important point is…

The man behind the scenes will be starting school soon.

"After New Year's Day, I will start school."

Weissen Wright sat on a chair in the living room and said casually: "After school starts, I don't want some problems that are beyond my control to arise, so I will just lock Mr. Peter in the underground fortress for a while and give Mr. Barty something to play with." Company, as for Mr. Grindelwald..."

Peter Pettigrew is dishonest...

Therefore, we can only temporarily lock him in the underground fortress and find him when we need him.

Besides, they didn't need Peter Pettigrew to do anything. As long as he could take the blame honestly, it would only be a loss of face for him to go out and become the third generation Dark Lord.

Grindelwald’s words…

You definitely can't do this.

Because Grindelwald is bound by a blood pact with Wesson Wright, locking him up like this is a humiliation for him, and it is also a huge waste.

"Haha...where do you want me to go?"

Grindelwald was lying on a sofa, holding a watch chain back and forth in his hand, and slowly said unrealistic words: "I really want to go to Hogwarts to be a teacher. Since years ago, students from Hogwarts have said that it is the best magic school..."

"That's such a waste."

Wesen Wright put his arm on the table and suggested slowly: "I wonder if Mr. Grindelwald is interested in... going to Durmstrang to be the principal?"
