Chapter 308 Grandfather’s Advice
·
Nian Gao Pei Ma Tuan
Barty Crouch's son is alive and may be hiding on his estate.
Apparently, Mr. Carmichael didn’t think so.
Although this news sounded a bit strange, in his opinion, it was just a drunken bragging by a little thief.
However, with Voldemort's level of paranoia, he would definitely not believe that things were that simple.
If this sentence really reaches his ears, then His Highness the Dark Lord is likely to guess the secret that Barty Crouch Jr. is still alive, even if he did not meet the innocent Bertha Joe in the Albanian forest Kings.
For Glenn, if only the thief and Mr. Carmichael knew the news for the time being, he could still think of a way to prevent them from spreading it to the outside world.
But now, the news has been exposed to the public, and if you want to hide it, it is not that simple.
After all, Glenn was not the only one who paid attention to these gossips.
But now that the matter was over, Glenn didn't get too entangled.If Voldemort can really successfully rescue Barty Jr., there is a high probability that he will still give him the task of obtaining Harry's blood. This does not conflict with Glenn's plan, and Harry should also be able to pass the dream immediately Stay on top of this message.
Seeing that it was getting late, Glenn did not stay any longer at Mr. Carmichael's second-hand shop, and picked up his suitcase and returned to Ollivander's Wand Shop.
His grandfather had already cooked himself and prepared a dinner for him. Although it was not as sumptuous as the dinner at Hogwarts, it was still warm and exquisite.
The grandfather and grandson chatted while eating, and once again talked about C·D.
"You mean, Albus has received news from Caradoc?" Old Ollivander put down his chopsticks and asked in surprise.
Glenn nodded and said, "Yes, Professor Dumbledore already knows the location of Mr. Dearborn. He is currently trapped in a medieval ruins, but his life should not be in danger."
"It's good that you're still alive..." Old Ollivander breathed a sigh of relief.It can be seen that he still cares a little about this old friend.
"Professor Dumbledore has personally gone to the ruins several times, trying to get Mr. Dearborn out, but there seems to be a very powerful seal there that prevents him from entering."
"A seal that even Albus can't break?" Old Ollivander looked surprised and couldn't help but frown.
"It's not that it can't be broken," Glenn explained. "According to him, the seal seems to have age or magic level restrictions for those who enter. If it is forcibly broken, it may cause the ruins to collapse."
Grandfather was relieved: "In that case, has he found a way to get in..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly froze, as if he had guessed Dumbledore's plan.
"Age limit..." He pondered for a moment and asked, "Could it be that...he plans to let you give it a try?"
"Yes." Glenn nodded honestly, "Professor Dumbledore plans to take me there during this summer vacation."
"Is it safe?" Old Ollivander asked again.
Glenn did not hide anything and said exactly what Dumbledore said: "Professor Dumbledore said that he didn't know much about the situation inside the ruins, but judging from the seals, there were no offensive arrangements. It should be No big questions asked."
After hearing what he said, my grandfather frowned slightly and said nothing.
"Professor Dumbledore said that he plans to come over in person in the next few days, and everything will be based on your opinion." Glenn continued, "If you don't agree, he won't force me to go."
"What are your own thoughts?" Old Ollivander suddenly asked.
"I..." Glenn was slightly startled and said, "I'm not sure, after all, I don't know anything about the ruins."
He always hesitated.Unlike what happened with Voldemort, he knew nothing about the secrets of Merlin's time.Ever since time travel, Queen Morgana's affairs have always been a worry for him. This feeling of being completely unfamiliar and not being able to control every step of development made him very uneasy.
But if the sleeping Merlin can really be awakened this time, Morgana will no longer pose a threat to his plan.Moreover, Caradoc Dearborn, as the first person to come into contact with him since time travel, might be able to provide some clues to his unknown bloodline that has never been activated.
"Remember what I mentioned last year about my mother?"
The two were silent for a long time before Old Ollivander suddenly asked.
"Of course," Glenn nodded: "You said that they had just returned from China and were ambushed by Death Eaters."
"That's right. Because of this, no one knows what happened to them during that mission, that is, the news about your mother's bloodline. The only one who might know something is Caradoc."
Glenn wondered: "Don't even Mr. Moody know?
"That's right." Old Ollivander nodded and said, "At that time, Caradoc was in a hurry to send you here. He only had time to briefly explain a few words to Mad-Eye, and then he was about to go on to the next task, which was to investigate. The relic from which he ultimately disappeared.”
"But why did Professor Dumbledore never mention this to me?"
"If I'm not wrong, he probably doesn't want this to affect your decision." Grandfather thought for a while and said.
Glenn thought for a moment and quickly agreed with his grandfather's opinion.
Based on his understanding of Dumbledore, if the old fox really took the initiative to keep C.D. and his own blood a secret, it would mean that he was trying hard to tell Glenn to go to the ruins, just like he did when he tricked Newt.
But now it seems that he really respects the opinions of Glenn's grandparents.
"Then according to your opinion, should I go to that ruins?"
"I'm already very old, Glenn. If you ask me, I naturally don't want you to face any possible danger." Old Ollivander showed a kind smile, "But if you really decide If you want to go, can my simple words really stop you?"
Glenn hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"So, this matter should ultimately be decided by you." Grandfather picked up the chopsticks again and added a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs to Glenn's bowl. "If there is a chance, I still think you should try it." Find out about your mother’s past.”
"I understand." Glenn nodded silently.
Old Ollivander looked at him with a smile, his eyes full of warmth.
"Okay, let's eat quickly. This dish won't taste good when it's cold."
