Chapter 262 Grindelwald’s Plan
However, unexpectedly,
It’s not the seventh day yet,
On the night of the sixth day, Ominis took back the Gaunt ring.
Raven also verified that it was indeed Gaunt's ring and had not been tampered with.
How you got out is how you got back.
"But...why does it seem a little sticky?"
After careful identification, it seems to be sugar?
It seems like... Honeydukes' [Double Sweetness Honey Candies]?
"Where did you bring this thing back from?"
Raven asked in confusion, why was there sugar on it when I took it back?
Ominis also had a blank expression on his face.
Obviously what just happened was beyond his expectation.
He replied,
"After dinner, Principal Dumbledore stopped me and asked me to go to his office."
"Then...then he gave me the Gaunt ring. He said it was returned to its original owner."
Raven raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? This thing actually ended up in Dumbledore's hands?"
That is indeed understandable.
-----------------------
6 days ago,
Sebastian Saru and the liaison of the Wiccan Party arranged to meet at the Pig's Head Bar in Hogsmeade.
The other party wore the same black hood and black cloak, covering his entire body including his face.
The only difference is that judging from the sound, this wizard is a quite young guy.
Sebastian is really curious,
When Grindelwald approached him to discuss cooperation, the Umbrella Party at that time was called a club for senior citizens.
All of them are old men about a hundred years old.
Although he, Sebastian, is the oldest in terms of birth date, this can be ignored.
Has new blood finally joined this senior citizen club?
Is it the new blood Grindelwald discovered in Ilvermorny?
But this doesn't matter to Sebastian anymore;
He only confirmed that the other party was indeed a member of the Wu Cui Party through the other party's token.
As long as the Resurrection Stone can be handed over smoothly, Sebastian doesn't care who the other party sends.
And that young wizard from the Wiccan Party,
After getting the Resurrection Stone, he took one step ahead of Sebastian and left the Pig's Head Bar and Hogsmeade.
But he didn't go far,
Just walked to a hidden cave nearby,
Here, he took off his hood, revealing his face hidden by the hood,
This is a very young wizard,
He looks about seventeen or eighteen years old.
He has three-dimensional facial features, handsome appearance, medium-length light golden hair, and a pair of heterochromatic pupils. This is Gellert Grindelwald.
After confirming that the resurrection stone has not been tampered with,
The wanted criminal who had successfully escaped from prison not long ago walked towards the depths of the cave.
There is a secret passage in this cave,
At the end of the secret passage is a fireplace,
This is a secret Floo fireplace.
Unlike the Floo powder network, which extends in all directions,
This fireplace only leads to one place, the headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
This is an escape tunnel secretly built by a previous Hogwarts principal to guard against a certain student.
But until his death, the fireplace was never used.
When Grindelwald appeared in the principal's office, Dumbledore, the principal, was already waiting in front of the fireplace.
For safety reasons, after walking into the fireplace outside, it will take five minutes before you can use Floo powder to teleport into Hogwarts.
The fireplace at Hogwarts will make abnormal noises in advance to warn the principal in the office.
This will prevent anyone from harming the principal himself through the fireplace.
After all, this short-distance Floo fan network was secretly built by the principal to protect himself.
If someone really sneaks in, it will put the cart before the horse and put yourself in danger.
So when Grindelwald walked out of the fireplace in the principal's office, Dumbledore had been waiting here for a long time.
He even prepared tea and snacks.
five minutes ago,
Even when the fireplace made the sound of water boiling, Dumbledore was actually surprised.
I didn't expect that the Hogwarts principal's office would have such a secret.
Soon, a principal came out to claim his masterpiece, Principal Phineas Black.
According to Principal Phineas, someone will appear from the fireplace in five minutes, so Dumbledore was waiting in advance. Who could it be?
But what Dumbledore didn't expect was that the one who walked out of the fireplace would be... Grindelwald.
And his appearance is still the same as the year they first met, but his eyes are different. The iris of his right eye has turned white.
This is proof that Grindelwald has made a major breakthrough in the field of prophecy.
The young Grindelwald in front of him, although he still looks very young,
But now his eyes contain wisdom and open-mindedness, no longer the youthful and frivolous look of before.
After a while, Dumbledore asked.
"I... didn't expect it to be you. Aren't you trying to mess with those people from the Magic Congress?"
Grindelwald, who had regained his youth, sat down on the sofa politely and said Shi Shiran,
"Of course it's important that I have to take action in person."
"Important things?" Dumbledore murmured,
What matters in the current British wizarding world require Grindelwald to personally take action?
Dumbledore soon thought of the answer,
"You want the Elder Wand back."
It's a declarative sentence, not a rhetorical question.
Only this kind of prop is both vital and dead, with no ability to protect itself.
Only worthy of Grindelwald's attention.
"I can give you the Elder Wand," Dumbledore smiled.
"But I refuse to fight you."
This is cheating,
The condition for the Elder Wand to change hands is to defeat the opponent in battle.
Dumbledore refused to fight Grindelwald because he didn't want to give Grindelwald the Elder Wand!
It's impossible for Grindelwald to really ignore Dumbledore's wishes and launch an attack.
So Grindelwald also frowned and said,
"You learned bad things from that guy."
But he came here fully prepared,
I saw Grindelwald take out a ring from his pocket.
A ring with a golden body and a black stone ring.
He was thrown to Dumbledore, who was caught off guard. Dumbledore thought Grindelwald was proposing.
However, after receiving the ring, Dumbledore's mood was even more exciting than being proposed by Grindelwald.
"This is......!!!???"
