#334 - Chapter 334: Responding to the Reemployment Policy for the Elderly

Special guest?

Who could it be?

So mysterious.

Seeing that Dumbledore was unwilling to reveal the other party's identity, Sebastian didn't ask any further.

Anyway, he would know once he went.

After ending the call, Sebastian quickly washed up, drank a small bottle of energizing potion, and arrived at Hogwarts through the fireplace.

Following the stairs all the way up, he soon arrived at the Headmaster's office.

In the office, Dumbledore was sitting with an unfamiliar middle-aged man.

Upon seeing Sebastian, Dumbledore smiled gently.

"Sebastian, I already know what happened at the Quidditch World Cup campsite, and I also saw your brave performance in suppressing the rioters on the magic television."

"In the words of young people, it was really cool."

"I'm really sorry to have you come to school after being busy all night, but the guest couldn't wait to see you. This is..."

Before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man stood up excitedly and took two or three steps to Sebastian, extending his right hand.

"Mr. Swan, hello, I'm very honored to meet you, I'm your ardent fan."

Ardent fan?

I don't think so!

Sebastian raised an eyebrow and shook the other party's right hand: "Mr. Grindelwald, your human transfiguration is really excellent. If I didn't have special little tricks, I really wouldn't be able to tell it was you."

"Gellert," Dumbledore said with a chuckle, "I told you that you couldn't fool Sebastian, but you insisted on teasing him."

Seeing that he had been exposed, the middle-aged man chuckled, and his body began to change.

Compared to their first meeting three years ago, Grindelwald had changed a lot.

At that time, due to long-term imprisonment, his body had been tormented as if it were a withered shell. The original tight and powerful muscles had disappeared, and his skin was tightly attached to his bones, appearing dry and thin, as if only a skeleton supporting his soul remained.

Sebastian clearly remembered that the other party's cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were dark, and his whole person had a morbid pallor.

In order to invite the other party out of the mountain, Sebastian continuously provided food, potions, and improved the other party's living environment.

After three years of careful recuperation, Grindelwald gradually regained his former demeanor.

His body was no longer thin, and muscles had grown back on his skeleton, making him appear steady and strong.

His complexion was much rosier than before, and his skin was no longer tightly attached to his bones, but had a healthy glow.

Although his face was full of wrinkles, it did not make him look old, but added a sense of heavy age.

Even the exhaustion that had drained his life had been swept away from his eyes, and they had become deep and sharp again.

Now, he looked like a handsome old man.

"These past three years, I've invited you out of the mountain so many times, but you remained unmoved. Why are you willing to come out of Nurmengard now?"

Sebastian asked with a puzzled expression: "Also, when did you come out?"

Grindelwald smiled and casually sat back in the chair: "I came out before the Quidditch World Cup final, about a week ago."

"As for the reason for coming out," he glanced at Dumbledore triumphantly, "of course it's because someone invited me."

"Moreover, it's time to come out."

"Speaking of which, my human transfiguration is quite exquisite. How did you, kid, see through the flaws at a glance?"

Flaws?

There were too many.

Sebastian didn't stand on ceremony, picked up the Coke on the table and poured himself a full glass, then gulped down two mouthfuls.

"First of all, although you look very excited and say you are my ardent fan, there is no trace of excitement in the emotions emanating from you."

"Secondly, I have seen most of the influential figures in the magical world, and I don't think a strange face is worth Dumbledore calling me over directly."

"Finally..." Sebastian took out his magic phone and waved it in front of the other party, "You should have seen the magic phone, and know that it is bound to our magic."

"The principle behind it is that each of our magic is unique, so although your appearance has changed, your magic is still the same, so I can naturally tell."

"Amazing! Distinguishing by emotions and magic," Grindelwald clapped his hands lightly, "It's not wrong at all that my disguise was seen through."

"If the Magical Congress of the United States had someone like you back then, then I wouldn't have been able to lurk for so long."

"Ahem—Gellert..." Dumbledore coughed lightly, reminding Grindelwald not to mention that disgraceful experience.

Back then, Grindelwald used human transfiguration to become Percival Graves, the Director of Magical Security and Director of Law Enforcement of the Magical Congress of the United States, and used this identity to infiltrate the Magical Congress of the United States.

If he hadn't taken off his disguise in the end, the people of the Magical Congress would have been kept in the dark.

Because of this, the Magical Congress of the United States has always regarded this incident as a great shame and has always hated Grindelwald.

Sebastian was very clear about this matter. After hearing Grindelwald and Dumbledore's words, he said casually.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders in this office, I won't publicize it casually."

"By the way, Mr. Grindelwald, did you come to Hogwarts purely to catch up, or..."

"I haven't been in contact with the magical society for decades. I finally came out of Nurmengard and wanted to find a stable job."

Grindelwald said happily: "I heard that Hogwarts can solve the problem of re-employment for the elderly, so I came to apply, thinking about whether I can do the work of a gatekeeper."

"Of course, I'm very easy to talk to. I don't mind if you let me take care of magical creatures."

Take care of magical creatures?

You can even find this reason, do you think I believe you or not.

If you want to find Newt to fight, just say it directly!

Besides, you can't be a gatekeeper at Hogwarts either.

This year is the Triwizard Tournament. When the people from Ilvermorny and Durmstrang come to Hogwarts and see it.

Good heavens, the first generation Dark Lord is actually guarding the gate here.

That will definitely cause chaos. You must know that there are many people in those two schools who hate you to the bone, the most famous of which is Krum.

Moreover, those Saints will not be able to resist the loneliness after they know about it. At that time, Hogwarts will definitely never have peace.

Sebastian didn't listen to the other party's nonsense at all, and looked directly at Dumbledore, wanting to get the most accurate answer from him.

After all, according to Grindelwald's words, he was personally invited out by Dumbledore.

Hearing Grindelwald talking nonsense there, Dumbledore smiled helplessly.

"Sebastian, after receiving your magic phone, I suddenly realized that this world is indeed moving forward very fast."

"You have also been working hard to keep up with the pace of the world, to welcome the future integration with the Muggle world."

"So, I want Gellert to come out and help your career while we two old bones can still jump around."

"Of course, Gellert has a very stubborn temper. How to persuade him depends on yourself."

Before Sebastian could say anything, Grindelwald asked directly.

"Kid, let me ask you first, you made a big splash at the Quidditch campsite, are you going to completely step into the public eye?"
