Chapter 489 Grindelwald: Why does Dumbledore like you?

England and Austria are separated by a channel, as well as the two countries of Holland and Germany.

For normal international travel, wizards need to go to the Ministry of Magic to apply for a portkey, and then use the portkey to travel to the European continent across the strait.

But for house elves, this distance is nothing.

Because house elves have a special ability to apparate.

They can easily apparate over long distances, and can even carry multiple people to apparate, ignoring most 'anti-apparition' magic.

Ever since he learned about the magic system of house elves, Andy has always had a doubt in his heart - why do magical beings like house elves become slaves of wizards?

Their intelligence is no less than that of humans, and they also possess superb magical attainments. They can even use magic without a wand, and they are hardworking, diligent and loyal.

If house elves have the courage to resist, they can achieve a certain status in the magical world like goblins.

But... they are very happy as slaves.

That’s outrageous!

Not only that, but in the history of the wizarding world, there is no record of wizards conquering house elves.

That period of history was artificially erased!

The more Andy learns about magic and the magical world, the more Andy feels that the current history of magic is just a carefully compiled story.

There is so much false content in it.

After waiting in the study for about half an hour, with a soft 'pop' sound, Kreacher appeared out of thin air.

"Is it done?" Andy asked.

"Yes!"

Kreacher bowed deeply, and his old body shuddered unconsciously, "Master, the things have been handed over to him."

Andy raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"

Kreacher looked up at Andy, then quickly lowered his head, "Master, that person is scary..."

I see!

After all, he was Grindelwald, the man who once caused a bloody storm across the European continent.

Horrible... isn't that normal?

It's much better than that Voldemort who spent half his life fighting but couldn't even defeat a school.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Andy said lightly, then quickly raised his wand and pointed it at Kreacher, "Forget everything!"

The magic beam flashed away.

Kreacher fell to the ground and passed out.

Summon the fat cat Patronus and have it guard the first floor to monitor Sirius and Harry's movements. Andy used a levitation spell to send Kreacher to the third floor, and then released the Imperius Curse from controlling him.

After hiding in a corner and observing for a while, Kreacher woke up soon after.

The old house elf still looked a little confused. It turned around and looked around, seeming to be thinking about three major philosophical questions in life.

who I am?

where am I?

What am I doing?

The familiar environment made Kreacher relax a little, and it continued to be busy.

"OK!"

After hiding in the dark and monitoring for a while, and confirming that there was nothing wrong with Kreacher, Andy turned and returned to the study.

Get out the other two-way mirror.

Andy suppressed his inner excitement and said, "Gellert Grindelwald..."

The picture in the mirror changed, from 'Andy' to an 'old man with white hair', and the background changed from 'study' to 'a dilapidated cell'.

"It's an honour……"

Andy first said: "Hello, Gellert Grindelwald. Let me introduce myself. My name is Andy Collins. I am a third-year wizard at Hogwarts."

Grindelwald didn't speak. He moved closer, his old face almost touching the mirror, as if he wanted to see Andy clearly.

"I am a neighbor of Mrs. Bathilda Bagshot, and I visit her every holiday."

"I am also Dumbledore's favorite student. He often gives me some magical guidance in private."

Andy continued, "So I've heard some stories about you and I'm curious..."

Grindelwald finally spoke, and his voice sounded a little hoarse to you, "Why does Dumbledore like you?"

"Maybe...because we are the same kind of people!"

Andy said casually: "He said I look like him when he was young."

Grindelwald sneered, looking a little disdainful.

Andy didn't care, but continued: "It seems that Nurmengard can't trap you. So... is it the oath in your heart that traps you?"

Grindelwald did not answer this question, but asked curiously: "If Dumbledore knew that you contacted me secretly, what do you think he would think?"

"Who cares?" Andy said lightly.

Grindelwald: "..."

Andy continued: "It's not illegal to keep in touch with Grindelwald, right? At least there is no such rule in the British wizarding community. They have erased most of the information about you, and many people only know this name."

Grindelwald chuckled, "I'm not surprised."

"Me too." Andy said.

Now that the pleasantries have been exchanged, Andy is ready to get down to business.

"I have recently been studying souls, death, magical transformation, and the Obscurus... but I have encountered some problems."

Looking at Grindelwald in the mirror, Andy said in a serious tone: "You are a senior in the wizarding world. I think... you might be able to give me some guidance."

Grindelwald sneered when he heard this, looking a little disdainful.

But he didn’t say nonsense like ‘Who am I to guide you?’, but said curiously: “Tell me about it!”

"Dark magic transformation...I have already done experiments."

Andy said: "Using the notes left by Slytherin, I successfully stole the magic of death... By the way, the Resurrection Stone is in my hand."

"According to my research, the human body belongs to matter, while the human soul is an existence that transcends matter... The soul may come from a higher dimension..."

"..."

As he spoke, Andy revealed his speculations about the soul and dimensions.

"And Obscurus..."

Andy continued: "From the first day I came into contact with magic, mind and magic have been the subjects of my study."

"For this reason, I successfully improved the Patronus Charm."

"Through further research, I found that the power of magical transformation can be initially compatible with the power of Obscurus."

"The evidence is...Dumbledore's sister and nephew, they are all Obscurials who have lived past the age of ten. And the blood of the Dumbledore family has the magic power of the phoenix!"

"So I speculate that the magically transformed body may be able to perfectly accommodate the power of Obscurus."

"Of course, this requires evidence."

Speaking of this, Andy looked at Grindelwald seriously.

"You have also studied the Obscurus...right?"
