Chapter 826 New Target, Grindelwald

Percy's return made the Burrow lively again. Mrs. Weasley seemed to have let go of a worry, and her whole state was completely different from before.

That day, she prepared a sumptuous dinner and enthusiastically invited Kyle to the Burrow.

Chris was still in the Hesperidian Islands and had not returned.

This was normal. Anything related to dragons was not trivial. In addition, even Newt went there, so it was obviously not a trivial matter that could be handled in a day or two.

If nothing unexpected happened, Chris would probably stay in the Hesperidian Islands for a while. Although Kyle also wanted to help and just pass the time, he did not receive an invitation. If he went there, it would probably be regarded as an illegal invasion.

After all, there are dragon eggs and baby dragons in the places where dragons are raised. In order to protect them from being robbed, strange wizards are generally prohibited from breaking in casually.

This is the case with the Fire Dragon Sanctuary in Romania.

Especially now that the black dragon is not in a good state, the people in the Hesperidian Islands are very nervous. If they go there rashly, some unnecessary conflicts are likely to occur, and it will not be good for anyone to be hurt at that time.

So after hesitating for a while, Kyle gave up the idea.

And what Chris said was right. With him and Newt both here, Kyle really couldn't help much. With this time, he might as well stay at home and have a good rest for a while to prepare for the future.

...

At seven o'clock in the evening, Kyle arrived at the Burrow on time. Mr. Weasley was also there. He rarely got off work at a normal time and returned home on time.

And Fred and George, although they were arguing in the afternoon and said that they would never participate in anything about celebrating Percy's return home, they still came at this time.

The two wore the dragon leather jackets they wore when they opened the business, and they seemed to have dressed up. George's head was shiny as if it had been licked by a three-headed dog.

Fred had a special fragrance on his body. It should be Mrs. Petunia's moisturizer, but this is usually a product that witches like. For example, Connor, Qiu and Ginny are its loyal customers.

Kyle looked at the two of them teasingly and said nothing.

"Don't get me wrong, we can't find anything more outdated than this jacket." Fred looked at Kyle's eyes and explained.

"No need to explain, I understand." Kyle patted his shoulder, "It's okay, Percy is your brother after all, this is human nature, you don't have to feel embarrassed."

After that, Kyle turned around and walked to the Burrow.

"What does he know?" Fred raised his eyebrows.

"I think he misunderstood." George said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have studied the exploding cream just now. I was afraid of missing the time and rushed here. I didn't even have time to change my clothes."

"Yeah..." Fred pulled his clothes and asked in a low voice: "Do you think he will believe us if we explain to him now that this dragon leather jacket is to prevent himself from being hurt by the exploding pods?"

"Probably not." George sighed and scratched his hair with his hands, "Oh, this mucus is really annoying, and it hasn't been washed off yet..."

"Let's wash it later. Now we'd better go in quickly." Fred said, "If we are late, Mom will definitely nag us for a long time."

"That's the only way."

The two hurried into the Burrow.

Although Ron and Ginny were not there, Bill and Charlie were back, so the Burrow was still very crowded, but this kind of crowding did not make people feel irritated.

Kyle sat next to Charlie, watching Mrs. Weasley happily put stew on everyone's plate, and Fred and George yelling and mocking Percy.

At eight o'clock, Kyle also left the Burrow and returned to his home.

Chris did not come back for a few days.

The Daily Prophet also noticed the changes in the Hesperidian Islands. It said that Muggles had seen fire dragons nearby, and there were more than one. Fortunately, the members of the Reversal of Incidents Team rushed over in time and modified their memories, otherwise the matter might have spread in the Muggle world.

No, it should be said that it had spread, but not many people believed it. In addition, the parties involved had forgotten about it, so people gradually regarded it as a trick to attract attention and stopped paying attention to it.

Now the members of the Reversal of Incidents Team have been stationed nearby, ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Fortunately, the fire dragons seemed to have calmed down and stopped running out.

Chris spent more time in the Hesperidian Islands than he thought. It took almost half a month before he came back, and he looked listless and exhausted.

He told Kyle that the black dragons rioted because some unknown wizard... most likely Voldemort and his Death Eaters blew up the highest cliff in the south of the Hexadelian Islands.

"It's just a cliff, it's no big deal." Kyle didn't understand.

Cliffs can be seen almost everywhere in the Hexadelian Islands. They are not dragon eggs or nests. Is it worth them to be so angry?

In Kyle's impression, the black dragons of the Hexadelian Islands have not left there for two centuries. The conflicts before that were all resolved within the islands. As a result, they now want to look for the culprit outside...

"The cliff is not important, but what if that is the place where they choose their leader." Chris sighed, "All the previous leaders of the black dragons of the Heshidry Islands died on that cliff and were born in the same place. , it can be said that it is their most important place, it is not an exaggeration to say it is a holy place, but it was suddenly bombed. "

Okay, now Kyle can understand why the fire dragons are so angry.

"Have you found out who did it?" he asked.

"It would be great if we could find out." Chris shook his head, "However, the other party's spell can blow up a mountain cliff. There are not many wizards of this level. We guess it is a mysterious person, and he is the only one, or Only a few Death Eaters can cause such huge destructive power."

"Mysterious man?" Kyle was even more puzzled. "Hasn't he been silent all this time? Why did he suddenly go to the Heshidry Islands to cause destruction? Is it any good for him to anger the fire dragon?"

"This is what we want to know too." Chris poured himself a glass of whiskey. "Maybe he wants to create chaos for us. If Newt hadn't used the Hungarian Horntail to calm the strongest black dragon in time this time, I'm afraid The nearby towns were already in chaos.

"Even if people from the Ministry of Magic come together, there will be no way to modify the memories of all Muggles in a short time."

Hungarian Horntail…

appease?

Kyle couldn't connect them together. As the most violent species among the fire dragons, the Hungarian Horntail has never been calm, especially when facing other fire dragons. Giving each other a tail without meeting them is already considered a character. So weak.

If Kyle guessed correctly, it should be physical comfort. If the strongest black dragon is defeated, the others will naturally become quiet.

"It's really going to cause trouble for people." Kyle couldn't help but said, "Are you sure it's a Death Eater?"

"It's just a guess." Chris said, "But we found a lot of black magic nearby and the traces left by the burning fire. They must be right."

Kyle muttered something under his breath. It had to be said that if Voldemort's plot succeeded, it would be really troublesome for the Ministry of Magic.

No wonder they have been so quiet recently and didn't expect to be waiting here... But one thing is that if it hadn't been for this incident, he would never have guessed Voldemort's true purpose.

It's a shame they came up with such a bad idea to let the fire dragons riot.

After drinking the whiskey, Chris ate a whole plate of sandwiches and two grilled sausages before dragging his tired body back to the room.

After a while, after entering October, the weather gradually became colder, and Kyle finally waited for Nico's owl.

But to his disappointment, what the owl sent was not a repaired time turner, but a mirror.

Two-way mirror.

As soon as Kyle picked it up, Nico's face appeared inside.

"How have you been lately?" he asked with a smile.

"It's okay, I'm just a little anxious waiting." Kyle put the mirror on the table. "When I first saw the owl, I thought the time turner had been repaired."

"Be patient." Nico said, "This thing is not that easy to repair. By the way, did you insist on drinking what I gave you?"

"Of course, I have never forgotten it." Kyle took out the bottle containing 'raspberry juice', "I have always wanted to ask, what is the use of this thing."

"Protect you from the interference of time." Nico explained: "Albus told me that the last time you used the time turner, your mind was confused for a period of time, right?"

"Indeed." Kyle nodded.

It must have been when he was in third grade, that is, when the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets was opened, he had passively returned to a few months ago without knowing it.

From that time on, I did many inexplicable things before I even knew about the existence of a time turner.

For example, he insisted on hiding the Basilisk. Under normal circumstances, he would have told Dumbledore about it, but he just didn't want to say it at the time.

Rowena Ravenclaw later explained that she had made some arrangements that affected the time-disordered Kyle.

This matter is a bit complicated to say. In short, Ravenclaw arranged an unknown magic in Hogwarts, but this magic will only take effect on people who are disturbed by time.

To be disturbed, the time span must be at least more than two months. Ordinary time converters that can only go back a day or two do not need to worry about this problem.

In other words, this is a magic spell for Kyle.

"But that happened many years ago, does it have anything to do with now?" Kyle asked.

"When there are two selves in one time and space, your mind will become very unstable, which is why many wizards resist time turners." Nico explained: "This potion solves this problem. , as long as you drink it continuously for a month, you will no longer be affected.

"If you want to rescue Albus, you have to make sure you are awake enough. So even if I repair the time turner, I won't be able to give it to you until a month later."

"That's it." Kyle nodded, "Thank you."

"No need to thank me, this is just necessary preparation work." Nico said.

"So you came to me this time specifically to talk about this?"

"Isn't that what you asked me?"

"Huh? Sorry, I forgot."

"It's okay, it's understandable." Nico said with a smile, "I'm looking for you this time because I forgot to mention something before."

"What's up?"

"You still need to go somewhere." Nico said, "When you go back to the past, you must first find Albus, right?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

"Do you know where he is?" Nico asked.

Kyle's expression froze.

Don't tell me, he really doesn't know.

The only thing he knew was that Dumbledore's family had lived in Godric's Hollow and were neighbors with Bathilda Bagshot.

But that's also where young Dumbledore will appear. What he needs to find is the Dumbledore who went back to the past.

"It seems that you have also discovered it." Nico held a thick book tremblingly, "So before that, you need to find someone and ask him where Albus might go to hide."

"Who to go to...Professor McGonagall should know, right?"

"She didn't know, or no one knew except one person."

"who's that person."

"Grindelwald, maybe you have heard of this name."

Kyle was silent for a moment, "I heard that Professor Dumbledore was the biggest rival sixty years ago."

"They are also best friends." Nico said softly, "Although I really don't want to admit it, the two of them did have a deep friendship when they were young, and they had the same feelings for each other. Even now, this friendship has not faded. It was just hidden, hidden deepest in their hearts.

"If anyone could guess where Albus might appear if he traveled back in time, it would be Grindelwald."

"Should I go find him?" Kyle couldn't help but raise his voice.

He didn't want to see Grindelwald. As a dark wizard who almost overturned the whole of Europe, that man was so evil. Kyle even heard that when he was imprisoned, there was no one around him.

Because he was afraid that the guards would be bewitched by him and rebel directly, some aspects of his abilities were even more terrifying than his magic.

If given the choice, Kyle would rather face Voldemort, of course, Voldemort after using Horcruxes.

When he was still Tom Riddle, he was actually not much worse than Grindelwald. He could make people around him follow him and willingly give their loyalty.

It's just that the two people followed different paths. Tom chose power and immortality, and voluntarily gave up other things.

"Do you have to go?" Kyle resisted.

"No," Nico said, "If you are willing to take your time to search, you don't have to go, but I can't guarantee how long it will take."

"Then I'll make some noise and let Professor Dumbledore take the initiative to see me." Kyle asked, "He must know me, right."

"It's also a way." Nico nodded, "But can you guarantee that Dumbledore will still be in the mood to pay attention to other things after seeing Ariana?"

Kyle stopped talking.

To be honest, he really couldn't guarantee it.

Dumbledore has been blaming himself for Ariana for a hundred years. After seeing her again, his eyes may not be able to tolerate other things at all.

"Okay, I'll go." Kyle sighed.

"Don't worry so much." Nico laughed, "You are here to save Dumbledore. Not only will he not do anything to you, he will even try his best to help you, I promise."

"I hope so." Kyle shook his head, stood up and said, "Then I'll go now."

"Where are you going."

"Of course it's Nurmengard. Isn't that where Grindelwald was imprisoned?"

"Then do you know where Nurmengard is?"

"It should be Austria. I remember seeing it in a book."

"But there must be no specific location in that book, or do you think Nurmengard is just a tall tower built casually on the roadside, and anyone can go in and visit it?"

Kyle paused and sat back down again, "Nico, since you said that, you must know how to get there."

"What a coincidence, I happened to be involved in the construction of Nurmengard." Nico blinked and opened the back book on the table, "Where was I looking...ah, I found it."

He stood the book up and pointed it at the mirror.

Kyle immediately leaned over.

He saw an old, faded photo of a round tower made of stone, a bit like a thickened chimney.

There was a line of text under the photo. Kyle stared at it carefully for a while, but found that he couldn't remember the content.

After a few seconds, Nico closed the book in his hand.

"Wait, I haven't remembered yet."

"That's enough." Nico said, "Go quickly. When you come back, the time turner should be repaired."
