The Little Superman of Hogwarts

#221 - Chapter 221: The Crimes of Grindelwald

Gellert Grindelwald: The Dark Lord of the early 20th century!

Nothing more needs to be said; that name alone is enough to make children stop crying.

Grindelwald's reputation is even greater than legends suggest; it could be said that the vast majority of wizards in the early 20th century lived under his shadow.

The only reason they are more worried about Voldemort now is simply because Voldemort is closer to them in time.

If you were to put the two together, Voldemort could never compare to Grindelwald.

Because Grindelwald possessed a grand dream of changing the world, unlike Voldemort, who was more like a clown.

Grindelwald was a complex figure: idealistic, brilliant, with a mastery of the Dark Arts even surpassing Voldemort, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

As a revolutionary operating outside the law, he and his followers committed numerous crimes, including multiple murders.

Through revolutions in America and Europe, Grindelwald ultimately established a power base in Nurmengard Castle in Austria.

In 1945, Dumbledore defeated him in a legendary duel.

Afterward, he was imprisoned in Nurmengard for decades—but who really knows the truth of what happened during that time?

It's currently Harry's third year, the year is 1994, and in a future that hasn't happened yet, he is ultimately killed by Voldemort in 1998.

Of course, according to Crichton's speculation, there's likely a lot of exaggeration in that death.

In the Harry Potter series, some people's deaths seem very pitiful, like Cedric's death, but others' deaths seem very suspicious—how the hell did this guy die, how could he possibly die?

The three most typical examples are Grindelwald, Dumbledore, and Snape.

Crichton has seen Voldemort many times; frankly speaking, this guy is now just an empty shell, his magic power at most seven or eight thousand.

Even if he were to return to his prime, his magic power wouldn't exceed 50,000.

Dumbledore's actual magic power should be around 100,000, and since Grindelwald and Dumbledore fought for so many years, his magic power should also be around 100,000.

Old Bat's magic power in the original book was lower than it is now, but in the later stages, he was also a true legendary great wizard.

After Voldemort's resurrection, he was at most at the level of an ordinary legend, how could he possibly kill Old Bat so easily?

Before, it was just suspicion, until Dumbledore created that fourth infant.

Angus Dumbledore—of course, you can also call him Angus Grindelwald.

Because he was indeed born from two men, a descendant defying the laws of nature.

The first time Crichton saw this little boy, he was convinced that the deaths in the original story were just a joke, that these people must have gone to another space-time to travel, or explore, or live in seclusion.

Now Grindelwald is in the small yard of Hogsmeade village, holding the little boy and refusing to let go.

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald and frowned, asking, "You have a nasty aura about you, have you been traveling to some other world again?"

"Just a trip with my soul," Grindelwald said, "This time I've had a significant gain! Would you like to hear it?"

"Gain?" Dumbledore's face showed a mocking expression, and he said coldly, "You've said similar things countless times before, but which time was it a real gain?

You are too ambitious!

Grindelwald, the root cause of the crimes you've committed is that you always think you're right, making mistakes regardless of reality, isn't it?"

"Grindelwald's sins?" Grindelwald looked out the window at the sun, somewhat lost in thought.

The former Grindelwald was also an upright, brave, idealistic, and ambitious outstanding individual.

But precisely because he was an idealist, he would always make all sorts of inexplicable mistakes on the path of growth.

Grindelwald attended Durmstrang Institute, a school that refused to accept Muggle students and allowed students to practice Dark Arts.

At a young age, he showed extremely high magical talent, but he didn't spend his energy pursuing honors and medals, but instead devoted himself to the Dark Arts.

When he was sixteen years old, he was expelled for conducting "evil experiments" and "attacking classmates, almost causing death"—the real situation may not be the same as described, but the ending was like this.

In short, he became a 16-year-old casualty.

After leaving Durmstrang, he met Dumbledore, and the two lived together as partners for many years.

The young Dumbledore was also an excellent idealist, and the two decided to change the entire wizarding world, to make the wizarding world operate according to their ideal way.

They also met several excellent companions.

Unfortunately, due to a series of accidents, the few parted ways.

In the end, he went down this path alone, but unfortunately, after trying for many years, it still ended in failure.

In legends, the earth-shattering final battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald never actually happened—the real situation was: the two only symbolically fought a few times, and Dumbledore finally persuaded Grindelwald.

Because at that time, Grindelwald had already foreseen his inevitable failure in the future, he understood that his path had come to an end, so he would naturally give up.

However, it was from that time that Grindelwald shifted his focus from this wizarding world to the entire universe.

Dumbledore even has things like the Time-Turner, let alone Grindelwald.

Although his body was imprisoned in prison, his soul had already wandered through various worlds many times, at least dozens of times.

In these decades, he has hardly stopped!

This is also why Dumbledore rarely went to see him, because most of the time when he went, what he actually saw was just a walking corpse, the real Grindelwald was traveling in other worlds.

After he focused on the alien world, this planet finally gained some peace.

"I have gone very, very far on the path of time-space travel, and this time when I went out to other worlds, I got a very unexpected gain.

Because I discovered a world exactly like Earth, the only difference is—in that world, there is also a me, but I succeeded!"

Grindelwald became very excited when he said this: "In that world, I created an ideal country! I met that successful me! His magic power is not even as good as mine…"

"But he succeeded!" Grindelwald almost shouted these last words in a roaring voice.

If Keli heard these words, he would definitely react immediately, realizing that Grindelwald had encountered the legendary parallel world.

According to the theory of infinite worlds, there are different times on each timeline, which can only be felt by living in five-dimensional or even six-dimensional space.

And these different timelines will naturally bring different results. This is the parallel world.

The two worlds are like twins, but at a certain point in time, they diverged from each other.

This point in time may be a very small point. For example, when someone is shopping, choosing supermarket A or supermarket B may cause the world to split and trigger a parallel world.

This is a situation that we four-dimensional beings cannot understand.

But the legendary wizard already has the partial ability to travel through the world, that is, the fifth dimension. If his soul travels through, it is indeed possible to go to that twin world.

Dumbledore felt that he was not lying when he heard this, and looked at Grindelwald with interest. Then Grindelwald took out a photo from his pocket: "This is a photo that I tried my best to transmit from that world!"

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment—in the photo, Dumbledore was still old, but there was a huge scar on his face. And next to him, an old woman was laughing. Next to the old woman stood several young people, who seemed to be her descendants. On the far left of the picture, there was another person standing, an old wizard he had never seen before.

But judging from the faces of those descendants, there is no doubt that these descendants are the descendants of the old woman and the old wizard next to her, perhaps grandchildren or even great-grandchildren.

"This wizard..." Dumbledore couldn't believe it for a moment. Everything about a person will change, but there is one thing that will never change—a person's eyes.

Dumbledore was too familiar with this person's eyes. These were the eyes he had dreamed of and hoped to see again.

"That's right, this is Ariana and her husband!" Grindelwald replied with certainty.

Dumbledore couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"In that world, that twin world, Ariana did not die, and I established an ideal country. It's just that it collapsed quickly..."

"This photo is a photo of you at the age of 90 celebrating your birthday with Ariana's family in that time."

Grindelwald paused and said softly: "However, I didn't see her with my own eyes. The time I went to was 2020. Ariana and her husband had already passed away. This is a photo I got from her fifth-generation grandson."

"Ariana Franklin, her husband's name is Edward Franklin. He is a Scottish man and a Muggle."

Dumbledore's body even trembled uncontrollably. He couldn't believe the fact he was hearing. He moved his eyes away from the photo and looked at Grindelwald's eyes, seeming to want to continue asking something.

"I've checked, there is also this person in our world, Edward Franklin, but he unfortunately died during World War II. In this world, he is a brave warrior!"

Dumbledore stared at the photo in a daze, wondering what he was thinking, his eyes twitching non-stop.

"Albus, I think you guessed it! If we can discover the first twin world, then there must be a second, a third, or even endless ones. Maybe in some world you will see your sister! A real, living sister!"

At this moment, Dumbledore thought of many things. He thought of the girl who was raised by his brother.

Although it was a clone of his sister, in fact, Dumbledore knew that it only looked like his sister. That was an independent life.

Except for the same genes, except for a part of the soul, that is not his sister at all.

"Maybe... I should go out and take a look..." Dumbledore muttered to himself.

At the end of endless time and space, there are countless parallel worlds waiting for them to explore.

-------------------------------------

On the other side, Hermione, Keli, and Ginny stood in front of the gate for the first time.

This gate has not been activated yet, because they have not captured other worlds.

"If one day, we go to other worlds, can we still come back?" Hermione asked.

"If the energy of the gate is sufficient, of course we can come back. The energy value required to make the gate move and capture other worlds is very low..." Keli explained: "But if we need to cross over, the energy consumed will be an astronomical figure, and we may not even have time to stay in that world for a minute."

Hermione suddenly had an idea and asked: "What if only our souls go over, and our bodies stay in this world?"

"An unforeseen path..." Keli had never thought of this, because he is a firm materialist, which caused him to have a thinking inertia. He would subconsciously ignore the fact that the soul can exist independently.

"Wait, if we only travel through the soul, the energy consumed is very low! We can stay in that world for many years! If we make a mark in this world, or simply create a gate in that world, we can still travel back and forth freely!" Keli used Superman's super mental arithmetic ability in his heart to calculate and answered excitedly.

"When can we use it?" Ginny asked.

"Who knows, the remote and endless world may be discovered in the next moment, but maybe we will never discover the second one in our lifetime!" Keli explained.

"I really look forward to this day!" Hermione said, and Ginny next to her also showed an expectant smile.

-------------------------------------

"Why are you so nervous?" Luna looked at Harry opposite her with a displeased expression.

"This is my first date!" Harry looked a little cramped.

"Isn't this my first time either?" Luna looked at the nervous little boy opposite her very dissatisfied.

The two are now sitting in a cafe in Hogsmeade Village, which is a place often visited by couples from magic schools.

The two are not yet considered a couple, but it is obvious that Keli's matchmaking has had a very good effect.

If Keli was standing here, he would definitely say involuntarily—sure enough, Luna and Harry are a match made in heaven!

Ginny and the others are all mine!
