Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 105

c105 Turn over the table and sell Voldemort

When Dumbledore left Nurmengard, he left with a roll of parchment.

The parchment was the peace agreement signed by the two under the witness of Grindelwald.

“Mr. Mike Grete, thank you.”

Dumbledore’s figure had disappeared from Godot Town for a long time, and Grindelwald’s eyes had not left the window overlooking the entire town.

The abrupt thanks surprised Grete for a moment. In his memory, Grindelwald did not seem to be so hypocritical.

But Grete did not have time to stay and listen to his sorrows. These two old guys who had not seen each other for decades only knew to chat about family matters.

One said you are old, and the other said you are too.

One said that he could not eat cold food now, and he would feel uncomfortable all night long after eating it.

The other said, then don’t be so arrogant, you can’t eat cold food, eat more hot food before going to bed.

…

Anyway, Grete was overwhelmed by what he heard. He thought he could hear some explosive news, but who knew that the two were just chatting casually.

Just like the nursing home for Muggles, one chat is cold, the other chat is more dressed.

There is no tension, no reconciliation, and no talk of the duel decades ago.

It’s as if nothing happened, the two are like old friends who haven’t seen each other for decades, caring about each other’s health and looking forward to the future casually.

Fortunately, the two knew that there was something serious to talk about today, so they didn’t let Gret wait too long.

It took about half an hour before and after, and Gret sat down at the negotiation table with Dumbledore.

As a witness, Grindelwald didn’t speak throughout the whole process, only Dumbledore and Gret had a sharp negotiation.

At first, Dumbledore thought that Gret was going to take advantage of the situation and threaten him to make concessions by cooperating with Voldemort.

His expression was very serious, his eyes narrowed, like a tiger in the jungle, crouching and waiting for an opportunity to eat someone.

But after Gret spoke, Dumbledore’s serious expression instantly melted.

Because Gret sold Voldemort as soon as he opened his mouth.

“Voldemort has seven Horcruxes, and I have destroyed two of them. One is Tom Riddle’s notebook, which was brought into Hogwarts by Ginny Weasley, and the other is Rowena Ravenclaw’s diadem.

Now there are Marvolo Gaunt’s ring, Salazar Slytherin’s locket, Helga Hufflepuff’s gold cup, and the snake Nagini.

And Harry Potter, whom you once suspected, the headmaster.

I know the locations of these Horcruxes, and I also know the protective measures he made.”

Speaking of this, Gretel knocked his head.

“Here, all of Voldemort’s memories are, and he tried to use memories to flush out my soul.

He almost succeeded.”

Gretel noticed that after Dumbledore finished listening to him, he let out a sigh of relief.

“Then let’s talk about how to cooperate.”

—

In fact, as long as one of the two negotiating parties is in the spirit of full cooperation, there is basically no possibility of the negotiation breaking down.

Moreover, after reading Dumbledore’s observation notes on him, Gretel knew that the White Devil, who had been carrying the magic world for decades, had actually always acquiesced to his actions.

In this case, the Death Eaters who destroyed the social stability of the magic world became a force that both sides had to eliminate.

After all, whether it was the Order of the Phoenix or the Dawn, neither force wanted to see the magic world full of war and blood.

Before, Gretel made a plan to take advantage of the situation and quietly expand the Dawn while the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix were fighting.

Now it is not necessary. In the magic world, the Dawn is not isolated and helpless, and the wizards with foresight are not only them.

After leaving Hogwarts, the Dawn either united or was elected, and the size increased rapidly.

The manpower has increased more than tenfold so far, and new blood is constantly joining in.

This is why Dumbledore is worried about Gretel and the Dawn.

What he feared was that the Dawn, which was expanding in size, would join forces with the Death Eaters and turn the entire wizarding world upside down.

Although Dumbledore never underestimated the Death Eaters and Voldemort, he was not very afraid that they would cause any disaster.

Most people still love peace. Those who advocate violence and death like the Death Eaters are still a minority after all.

Voldemort could not succeed. Even if he defeated Dumbledore and Harry Potter, his rule would not last long.

High-pressure rule will never be popular. One day someone will rise up and sweep Voldemort and the Death Eaters into the garbage dump of history.

Dawn is different.

They have the same ideals, unified goals, and a fearless belief.

A noble organization will always make people join it involuntarily and fight for it.

However, Dawn is young after all. Whether it is the founder or the core members, in Dumbledore’s eyes, they are still a group of hungry children.

It is always easy for young people to go astray, and Voldemort is very good at bewitching people.

Dumbledore is worried that if Gretel really chooses to cooperate with Voldemort, the foundation he created may one day become the wedding dress of Voldemort’s reign of terror.

At that time, the Death Eaters in the guise of Dawn will really drag wizards all over the world into the abyss of destruction.

——

There is no need to worry now, Gretel has chosen to overturn the table.

He wanted to gather his men and fight Voldemort and the Death Eaters to the death, and it would be best to eliminate them in the bud.

He no longer considered the problem of plot collapse. Anyway, since he entered school, the plot of the entire magical world has inevitably collapsed.

This is the characteristic of a time traveler. The flapping of a butterfly’s wings will eventually bring a hurricane.

It is better to deal with the Wizengamot, an organization that maintains the stability of the magical world, than to fight with the poisonous and ruthless Death Eaters.

Dumbledore’s notes are not deceptive after all. His attitude towards Gretel is indeed the same as always.

After Gretel proposed that he and Dawn would not tear up the Statute of Secrecy at will before they were completely sure.

Even if the Statute of Secrecy was torn up, they would not choose the method of war. After that, Dumbledore decisively chose to cooperate, and the only thing left was how to finalize the details.

All along, Voldemort had not been attacked, not because he could not beat him, nor because he could not be found.

Besides, with Snape around, even if Voldemort was hiding in the Netherworld, they would dig him out and destroy him.

If he couldn’t accomplish his goal in one battle, Dumbledore would never choose to alert the enemy.

If he didn’t kill the enemy, he would suffer from it. Since he was going to do it, he couldn’t leave him any hope of turning the tables.

Voldemort’s strength was the best in the entire wizarding world. No one dared to say that they could defeat him except Dumbledore himself.

Even he was already a centenarian, and his strength would continue to decline as he got older.

However, with Gretel’s help, they no longer had to be careful to gather intelligence.

When finalizing the details, the most unexpected thing for Gretel was that the only request Dumbledore made was that Gretel protect his own safety.

If possible, he hoped that Gretel would not go to the front battlefield at all.

Not only him, but also the students he took away from Hogwarts, at Dumbledore’s request, tried not to face the Death Eaters directly.

Gretel only needs to provide intelligence, and leave the frontal battle to Dumbledore and the elites of the Order of the Phoenix.

It is precisely because of Dumbledore’s request that Gretel really opened his heart and revealed all of Voldemort’s methods.

It prevented Dumbledore from dying because of the curse as in the original world line.

In fact, he originally wanted to take this opportunity to kill Voldemort and Dumbledore together.

The black and white devils fought and both suffered losses. In the end, in order to eliminate the darkness, the white devil died heroically, creating a story worth passing down through the ages.

At that time, there was no power in the whole of Europe that could stop him.

Indeed, when he was at Hogwarts, Dumbledore did not stop his actions, nor did he even interfere with his behavior.

But Gretel still couldn’t rest assured.

He was worried that when the Statute of Secrecy was really broken one day, Dumbledore would stand up and call for action, and the supporters of the white devil would rush out one after another to tear the dawn into pieces.

This is very likely to be spoken.

After all, Dawn launched a war of public opinion against Dumbledore at all costs, and even with the support of the Minister of Magic, it failed to bring down the British magic world.

And according to Penelope’s investigation, the longer the time, the more people believe in Dumbledore.

In the past few days, the sales of newspapers controlled by Seni have almost doubled compared with the previous few days.

However, the sales of the Daily Prophet, which is also the center of the public opinion war, have fallen to a new low.

In this case, Gretel had to raise Dumbledore’s strategic position to a new height.

Fortunately, Dumbledore’s proposal dispelled Gretel’s dangerous idea.

In order to ensure that the Order of the Phoenix and Dawn will not break up after destroying Voldemort and turn around to deal with Dawn.

Gretel asked Dumbledore to guarantee in the contract that he would not threaten Dawn and its members in any way.

There is no need to pull him in, and Dumbledore will not betray the Statute of Secrecy that he has adhered to for a lifetime.

Being able to turn a blind eye is enough for Dawn to develop steadily.

…

The contract was prepared by Grindelwald, the Dark Lord who once swept most of the magic world with war, and the most knowledgeable person Gretel had ever seen.

In fact, it would be more appropriate for Snape to preside over the peace talks. Compared with Grindelwald, Snape is the one who can be trusted by both parties at the same time.

But what can be done? Whether it is Dumbledore or Gretel, the magic power cannot be restricted by ordinary spells.

Without a strong enough restriction, no matter who they are, they can’t reach a wholehearted cooperation.

Dumbledore is afraid that Gretel will turn against him, and Gretel is also afraid that Dumbledore will settle accounts later.

Only Grindelwald can be regarded as trusted by both parties at the same time.

Dumbledore was determined after a detailed discussion with Grindelwald today.

Gretel believes in him because of his ideals.

To a certain extent, what Gretel is doing is exactly what Grindelwald has been longing for all his life, but has not completed.

Gretel believes that he will not harm Dawn.

——

Both Dumbledore and Gretel are extremely decisive.

Since they have decided to declare war on Voldemort, they will not give Voldemort time to prepare.

According to Gretel, Voldemort can clearly detect the damage of each Horcrux.

So in order to avoid their actions being detected, Gretel proposed to collect all the Horcruxes and then destroy them together.

In the original world line, Voldemort was eager to start a war because he felt that the Horcruxes were gradually disappearing.

Otherwise, he could have developed slowly, and after he had the whole of England in his hands, he would start a decisive battle.

At that time, Hogwarts would be like duckweed, at the mercy of Voldemort.

With the information provided by Gretel, Dumbledore’s actions were quick.

At the end of July, when the entire northern hemisphere was the hottest, all the Horcruxes left by Voldemort were concentrated in Dumbledore’s hands.

Harry was supposed to stay at number four, Privet Drive, relying on his blood relatives to protect him and spend this summer vacation safely.

But because of Gretel’s intervention, he left home at the end of July and came to number 12, Grimmauld Place.

This is the home of his godfather Sirius, but now the most important use of this place is to use it as a base for the anti-Voldemort organization, the Order of the Phoenix.

Harry Potter was brought here by Dumbledore himself. Right in front of him, two adjacent houses split apart, and No. 12 Grimmauld Place squeezed out from the gap.

To be honest, he had been exposed to magic for four years and was about to become a fifth-year student, but the magic of magic still challenged his three views again and again.

This was the first time he saw the appearance of a building protected by the Fidelius Charm.

“Let’s go, Harry.” Dumbledore rubbed Harry’s head.

They had already decided to have the final battle with Voldemort today.

Bringing Harry here was to deal with the soul fragments of Voldemort attached to his body.

…

“Gretel?” Harry’s unbelievable voice echoed throughout the building, “Why are you here?”

Kreacher, the house elf who had served the Black family for several generations, huddled under the large boiler in the kitchen cabinet indignantly, cursing in a low voice the group of wizards who occupied the Black family’s property.

But his voice was very soft. Sirius, the only heir of the Black family, didn’t like him very much. Every time he heard him curse, he would kick him aside fiercely.

When Gretel came, he cursed a mudblood, and then was severely beaten by Sirius.

But this time, he should thank the head of the family he hated, if it weren’t for Sirius’s kick.

Now he should have turned into a stone statue leaning against the wall.

Gretel shrugged helplessly, “I don’t want to be here either, but if I don’t come, who will help you take out Voldemort’s soul fragments?

Originally I wanted to take you to me, but Dumbledore thought that it was dangerous enough to let you leave your aunt’s house during the holidays.

If you go over the mountains and rivers to England, you may encounter more dangers.

To be honest, if possible, I really don’t want to be here.”

Gretel looked at the eyes of the people around him and leaned against the back of the sofa helplessly.

There is no way, the people in the Order of the Phoenix, without exception, are all Dumbledore’s supporters.

Gretel chose to drop out of school at the end of last semester, which really made him famous.

Coupled with the subsequent public opinion events, after this series of events, Gretel felt that the people of the Order of the Phoenix did not take action against him, all thanks to Dumbledore’s face.

Fortunately, it seems that Dumbledore really doesn’t care about this matter.

At least, whether before the cooperation or now, his face has always remained gentle.

Following Gretel’s gaze, Harry also noticed the eyes of the people around him.

“Gretel, last semester you…”

Gretel knew what Harry was going to say, but shrugged helplessly.

He didn’t want to answer this question anymore. During this holiday, all the people who were close to him asked him why more than once.

Why else could it be, of course, to use the opportunity to touch Dumbledore to make Dawn appear in the world.

Otherwise, if the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters went to war, the opportunity would be gone, and there would be no chance for Dawn to develop.

Who would have thought that Dumbledore would touch Dumbledore, and Dawn would develop, and now he would have to cooperate with the person who was touched.

Even though he was from the past and present lives, he couldn’t help but blush.

Gretel gritted his teeth and stood up.

“Harry, come and sit here, let’s quickly take that thing out of your head, so that these people don’t think I have bad intentions.”

Hearing Gretel’s words, Harry didn’t even ask Sirius and Dumbledore for their opinions, and walked straight over.

Although he didn’t understand what happened, he believed that Gretel would never hurt him.

After all, if he wanted to hurt him, there was no need to pull him away from the Dementors on the Hogwarts Express.

He could never forget that Gretel faced the Dementors to save him and finally fainted on the train.
