The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

"Castle Nurmengard?" Jon couldn't help shouting in surprise.

"Yes... Nurmengard Castle in Austria." Albus Dumbledore's voice was quite calm: "There was only one prisoner in that castle - and that was Gellert Grindelwald! "

"..." Jon felt a little speechless, and he asked tentatively, "But... you call Grindelwald... a friend?"

"Yes, Gellert and I had a very close past. Although we parted ways not long ago, there is nothing to hide!" Dumbledore poured the silver-white floc from the crystal bottle into his meditation Basin, while explaining:

"I personally think that I don't have many years to live. After I die, I'm afraid someone with good deeds will reveal this past... So, don't be too surprised, you will always know!"

His face looked a little older again.

The silver-white floc slowly deformed in the Pensieve, turning into a young and handsome face.

"Don't waste any more time." Dumbledore urged: "Let's go in!"

While talking, he lowered his head, his body disappeared little by little, until the whole person got into the Pensieve; Jon hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head... He only felt a cold chill coming towards him , and then he also entered the Pensieve.

...

Jon found that he and Dumbledore were in a world of ice and snow, and in front of them was a huge lake that was endless and bottomless.

There was a thick layer of ice on the surface of the lake, but at this point near the shore, a hole was opened in the ice.

There is a large group of people on the right side of the cave, and they gather together, seeming to be talking about something.

They all looked huge in size, wearing thick black fur cloaks and bearskin hats on their heads... just like Durmstrang's students were adorned.

"This is Durmstrang!" Dumbledore explained: "The south of Scandinavia, the north of Lake Vänern, around Grooms..."

While talking, Dumbledore blinked mischievously: "Durmstrang has always been proud of hiding their location, and they even put an Oblivion Curse on every visitor to ensure this... only It's a pity that relying on these measures to conceal is not enough!"

A burst of air bubbles suddenly appeared from the cave on the ice... The students of Durmstrang surrounded them one after another; Dumbledore's eyes also turned to that side.

As the bubbles disappeared, a vigorous figure emerged from under the ice.

He was wearing nothing but a pair of underwear, and his muscles were soaked in the icy lake water and turned red...

The surrounding students of the Durmstrang School of Magic cheered excitedly.

Several boys put fur cloaks on the student who had just emerged from the icy water, and a girl handed over a wand.

"The bathing ceremony..." Dumbledore explained gently: "Durmstrang's traditional project that has lasted for thousands of years is carried out on Lucia's Day on December 13th every year... All students participating in the 'bathing ceremony' must be naked body, and without a wand, into the freezing cold Lake Vänern!"

"...they will have to withstand the cold and at the same time fight against the attack of unknown creatures under the ice with bare hands; the student who can last the longest in the icy lake, if he is male, will be awarded the title of 'Freyr'; if he is female , will receive the title of 'Freya (Freya)'... Their status is equivalent to that of Hogwarts' male and female student union presidents!"

Jon finally understands why those Durmstrang senior boys headed by Krum all look like muscular boys...

Jon carefully looked at the young man who had just emerged from the water. He looked very delicate, at least much more delicate than a muscular man like Krum... and he was very young, compared to himself Maybe a year or two older.

That is, at most four or five graders.

His face was familiar, it was the face that had appeared on the Pensieve before.

The Durmstrang students who surrounded him began to shout a name.

Although they seem to be shouting in Danish, the pronunciation is basically the same.

The "name" they shouted was——

"Gellert Grindelwald!"

...

Jon saw young Grindelwald, surrounded by the rest of the students, donning a diadem made of green twigs.

Is this supposed to be the symbol of being the "President of the Durmstrang Student Union"?

Together, they walked along the ice and toward the center of the lake.

Grindelwald walked right in front of the team as a matter of course, wearing a headband made of tree branches.

The ice surface is becoming more and more fragile, and those big men can even hear the creaking sound when they step on it.

When the lakeside was almost invisible, Jon only heard a loud "bang".

There was a big gap in the ice... but the Durmstrang students, as if they didn't notice it, kept going.

The cracks on the ice surface were getting bigger and bigger, until there was a "plop", the piece of ice carrying the students cracked completely, and then sank into the lake...

A breeze blew past, the water on the lake condensed again, and the ice returned to its original shape... No one could be seen, as if nothing had happened just now.

"That is to say..." Jon blinked in surprise.

"Durmstrang's campus is under Lake Vänern..." Dumbledore said lazily, "You should have guessed this when you saw that funny big boat, because it can Effectively out of sight of the Muggles... grab my arm, Jon!"

...

I only felt the sky dim for a while... After more than ten seconds, the scene in front of me gradually returned to normal.

A castle, an underwater castle... It is surrounded by a huge bubble, and you can even see all kinds of swimming fish outside the bubble.

But obviously, this underwater castle is much smaller than Hogwarts.

The Durmstrang students headed by Gellert Grindelwald still lined up in the same formation as before.

They passed through a round arched gate bearing Durmstrang's coat of arms with a double-headed eagle and a stag's head... and "Durmstrang" written in runes around it this phrase.

They continued walking, and finally stopped in front of a wall.

On the wall, there is a big sign drawn - a triangle, a circle and a vertical line nested together.

"Please stop, my brothers and sisters!" Grindelwald turned around with a tree branch made of a garland, and he shouted loudly, with a slightly immature voice, but with a majesty that did not belong to his age.

Thanks to the book friends, the names here can start with twelve characters, vul3zo6, magic shadow, oni kid, and the Pope must die.
