Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard - Chapter 958
When Grindelwald chooses his followers, what is the most important thing——
That’s right, it’s strength.
In this regard, he and Voldemort are actually the same. Whether it is Rozier, Barty Crouch Jr., or Bellatrix, they have all been called geniuses and are followers among wizards of the same age.
But the difference is that in addition to strength, Voldemort focuses more on loyalty and pure blood, while Grindelwald focuses on brains.

He never lacks loyalty, so he prefers wizards who are smart and thoughtful.
The things Oren did to Snape just matched his assessment standards.
“You want to see him, but he doesn’t necessarily want to see you.” Kyle muttered softly.
“What did you say?” Grindelwald looked over.
“Nothing, you heard wrong.” Kyle said casually, while recalling what Snape said just now.
Maurice Oren.
The last time he saw this former professor was in the Gringotts vault. He wanted to control the goblins to enter the Lestrange family’s vault, but was stopped by Kyle who was traveling with him.
Even if he did go in, he wouldn’t be able to find what Voldemort wanted, but Kyle was happy to do whatever it took to cause trouble for the Death Eaters.
What’s more, he also cost Gringotts tens of thousands of galleons with this incident, which is not a loss no matter how you calculate it.
Of course, this is just from his perspective.
If it were a goblin, we would have to add the cost of repairing the vault, the track, and the adult fire dragon that escaped intentionally or accidentally.
This number will continue to increase.
Bill heard some gossip from his goblin friends. It was said that the British goblins once wanted to change the sign on the door of Gringotts.
It’s those long lines of warning that everyone who enters Gringotts can see.
They wanted to change the third sentence of the sentence, “Taking blindly and getting something for nothing,” to “Kyle and Death Eaters are not allowed to enter.”
Kyle even had to be in front.
Of course, this was just a rumor spread by a few drunk goblins. Gringotts officials firmly denied the authenticity of the news and stated that the warning on the door of Gringotts has existed for nearly a thousand years. In any case, It’s also impossible to change.
After the news of Voldemort’s defeat at Hogwarts spread, they published three statements in newspapers, assuring Kyle that these were all rumors and that Gringotts would treat all wizards equally.
As for the authenticity of this sentence – in Kyle’s opinion, it is as ridiculous as “Gringotts has existed for nearly a thousand years”.
Kyle vaguely remembered that the existence of Gringotts was not even older than Nico’s. In the entire British wizarding world, the only building that had remained unchanged for thousands of years was Hogwarts.
But these are not important, they can only be regarded as minor episodes at best.
Kyle shook his head, turned his attention to Snape again, and couldn’t help but ask: “Hmm” –
Do you know where Oren went? “
“I don’t know.” Snape shook his head, “But he should have gone to Hogwarts with the other Death Eaters.
“The Dark Lord did not make any reservations or hides in this war, and directly summoned all Death Eaters to join the war. “No, I didn’t seem to see him during the war at Hogwarts. “Kyle searched carefully in his memory.
From the previous contacts, it is not difficult to see that Oren is already a high-status Death Eater, almost as high as Barty Crouch Jr., and he is also stronger than ordinary professors.
It was impossible for such a Death Eater to join the battlefield without knowing any information.
And now thinking about it, during the period after the battle, people were always chatting without mentioning those named Death Eaters. Some said they had narrowly escaped death from Rodolphus, and some said they were behind it. The one who gave Barty Crouch Jr. a stunner.
Only Maurice Oren, the former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, was never mentioned once.
“Did you see him enter Hogwarts?”
“.——-It seems not.” Snape also realized something was wrong, “I can only say that he must be on the way to Hogwarts.
“As one of Voldemort’s most trusted Death Eaters, if Maurice Oren disappears,
It will definitely be noticed.
“But the Dark Lord said nothing, so he must have been in the main force at the time.”
“Then he disappeared during the attack on Hogwarts.” Kyle suddenly laughed.
“Rodolphus was turned into stone and blown to pieces by Mr. Weasley, Barty Crouch Jr. remained forever on the field by the Black Lake, Goyle was hung from the ceiling after being defeated by Mr. Weasley, and Malfoy A family fled
“Even Voldemort is dead. Only Oren is fine. Maybe even his clothes are clean.”
“This——” Kyle raised his eyebrows at Snape, “We are all undercover, and his results are much better than yours.”
“Oren, is he an undercover agent?” Snape looked at Dumbledore with an unhappy expression, “Why have you never told me about such a big thing?”
“Would you believe me if I said I didn’t know?” Dumbledore sighed.
“What do you think -” Snape said calmly.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with Kyle’s words at all, or that was what he thought too.
He encouraged them desperately before the war and disappeared during the war. This alone is enough to explain the problem.
And before the battle began, no Death Eater thought they would lose, including Snape.
Because in their opinion, Dumbledore is dead and Voldemort is invincible. They don’t even need to defeat their opponents. As long as they can delay it, Voldemort can kill those difficult enemies one by one.
Sooner or later they will win this war, it’s just a matter of time,
As one of Voldemort’s most radical Death Eaters, Oren had no reason not to participate in this war that was worth nothing.
Unless he got some news in advance——for example, Dumbledore was not dead or something like that.
Thinking of this, Snape suddenly became serious.
It was just that Kyle knew that Dumbledore was not dead. Oren and everyone who joined in halfway knew that, but he was kept in the dark.
Is Dumbledore that distrustful?
If that’s the case, then why let him risk his life to return to Voldemort? Oren did not do a bad job at all, even better than him.
Facing Snape’s constantly changing eyes and the various curse words revealed in his eyes, Dumbledore became even more helpless.
“I guarantee in the name of the Headmaster of Hogwarts that Oren is really not the person I arranged.”
“But you are no longer the principal.” Kyle reminded him softly from the side.
“Then in the name of the school director——.”
“As we all know, the words of the Hogwarts Headmaster are Mikel’s potions homework.”
“What’s the meaning-“
“It’s all rubbish,” Snape blurted out.
“That’s it.” Kyle shrugged.
Those school directors have made a lot of rubbish decisions, such as firing Dumbledore, squeezing the ghost professor without paying his salary, etc. But when Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic were arrogant at Hogwarts, They pretended that their grandson would not say a word.
It’s absolutely true to say they are trash.
It’s just that Kyle didn’t expect Snape to be so cooperative.
Dumbledore’s face froze, “Then in the name of Ariana–it’s okay now.”
“No problem, trustworthy.” Kyle nodded without hesitation.
After being interrupted twice by Kyle, Dumbledore took a while to adjust his mentality and continued: “In short, what Oren did was not my arrangement, and I have never had any communication with him. , the only thing I know is that he once wanted to kill all the werewolves.”
“Werewolf——” Snape didn’t understand, “He has a grudge against a werewolf? But he has not been bitten by a werewolf, I’m sure of this.
“Because I have never smelled Wolfsbane potion on him, and I have seen him several times during the full moon.”
“My father once rescued him from a werewolf.” Kyle suddenly said: “I remember you said that.”
“Yes.” Dumbledore nodded, “The werewolf wants to trick Oren and make him run away in fear until dawn.
“Later the werewolf wanted to bite him before the moon disappeared, but he happened to meet Chris who was tracking down the werewolf and the giant.
“Chris saved him, but he only saved him.”
Snape’s eyes flickered.
This Oren’s experience sounds very similar to Remus Lupin’s, both of whom were retaliated by werewolves.
It’s just that Remus Lupin became a werewolf and nothing else changed, while Oren was the exact opposite.
“No wonder he wants to kill the werewolf.”
“Yes, maybe Oren joined the Death Eaters for this purpose.” Dumbledore said, “Because he must have guessed that the werewolf leader Fenrir Greyback would definitely join the Death Eaters.
“It’s just that he didn’t expect that Greyback was killed.” Dumbledore glanced at Kyle and said,
When the Death Eaters first attacked Hogwarts, Fenrir Greyback was among them, but he was later killed by Kyle in the castle corridor.
“What he didn’t expect was that the remaining werewolves also quit the Death Eaters not long after.
Disappeared, and his plan could not proceed before it could be implemented. “
Kyle thought for a while, and it seemed that this matter had something to do with him.
After killing the werewolf leader, he and Newt went to the Black Forest and found the remaining werewolves.
After some calm persuasion from Kyle and a meal of kebabs, the werewolves realized their mistakes and expressed that they would never help Voldemort again.
It’s all over.
Since then, the number of werewolves among the Death Eaters has dropped sharply, leaving only two or three who were tricked from Knockturn Alley.
In this Battle of Hogwarts, there were more than a dozen dementors who had been purged for several rounds, but there seemed to be only one werewolf – chased by Lupine, and later easily solved by him.
And the werewolf gave him the feeling of being quite weak. Without the blessing of the full moon, he might not even be able to defeat Oliver Wood.
After that, Kyle seemed to have never seen a werewolf again…–not including Lupine.
“But if it’s like what you said.” Snape suddenly said: “After discovering that there were no werewolves among the Death Eaters, why didn’t he leave and choose to continue to be loyal to the Dark Lord?”
“I don’t know. As I said just now, I don’t know Oren either.”
Dumbledore shook his head, “Maybe he wanted to take revenge on Tom who was ordering the werewolves behind his back, or he really wanted to start a war.
“No one can guess what song a bard will sing next, just like no one knows where the wind will blow next.”
“To get such a high evaluation from you —–” Grindelwald narrowed his eyes, “I am more interested in that Oren.”
“It’s not a comment, it’s just that I happened to think of this sentence.”
Dumbledore explained: “I read it in a book and thought it would be appropriate to use it here. What do you think? After all, Maurice Oren is really a bard.”
“It’s done mechanically.” Grindelwald said unceremoniously.
Dumbledore looked a little disappointed. He quite liked the book.
Grindelwald snorted coldly, “Now that you have asked everything clearly, can we continue the topic we did not finish before?”
“Wait, wait…” He looked at Snape. “The good news is that Tom will not be resurrected this time.”
“What did you say————.” Snape’s expression changed instantly, “But you told me clearly before,
Only if Harry takes the initiative to die can we completely kill the Dark Lord.
“Severus, I must apologize to you at this point.” Dumbledore said, looking slightly embarrassed.
“I did think that only Tom’s own Death Curse could kill the part of his soul that he inadvertently left in Harry’s body.”
“Before – what do you mean?” Snape frowned.
“It means——–we found a better way.” Dumbledore turned to look at Kyle. “After you took Tom out of Hogwarts, Kyle had already solved the problem of Harry’s Horcrux.
The process didn’t even take more than five minutes. “
“How is it possible?” Snape didn’t believe it. “I have read countless books and found that Horcruxes can’t be solved so easily.”
“Is there any mention of dementors in that book?”
“No, I was reading books about Horcruxes, not dark creatures.
“I’m talking about Horcruxes,” Dumbledore said softly. “Kelly used the Dementor’s kiss to suck out the fragments of Voldemort’s soul.”
Sucked out·——·
ah?
Snape blinked, as if he hadn’t fully reacted yet, and just instinctively looked at Kyle beside him.
The same goes for Grindelwald.
However, unlike Snape, he didn’t know much about Dementors. For some reason, he had rarely come to Britain before, and there were no such creatures as Dementors in other countries.
But he had heard about this special creature that could suck happiness and souls, and he tried to catch a few and send them to Nurmengard to raise, but he was delayed because of an incident.
When he thought about it again, Nurmengard had become his exclusive territory.
Perhaps he should be lucky that other things had delayed him and he had not brought the dementors here.
However, being able to use the characteristics of magical animals so skillfully, allowing them to play a role that even Dumbledore was stunned…—someone said, this is very consistent with Grindelwald’s standards for followers.
But now he felt even more displeased with Kyle.
Probably because seventy years ago, someone also took advantage of the characteristics of magical animals to steal his most precious things.
And more importantly, both Kyle and that person have gained Dumbledore’s trust and favor.
There’s nothing special about two people raising magical animals.
Grindelwald stared at Kyle—perhaps he could change the direction and take a more comprehensive look from the inside out.
Kyle kept looking at Dumbledore and didn’t notice Grindelwald’s eyes. He just felt as if a cold wind was blowing from behind, and subconsciously shrank his neck.
It’s strange why there is wind in his box. Could it be blowing down from the snowy mountains behind?
It’s possible.
Fortunately, this feeling disappeared quickly.
Mainly because Grindelwald thought that Kyle still held a photo that he cared about very much. Before getting the photo, he would always be extra tolerant to Kyle.
As for what happens after you get it, let’s talk about it later.
“Have you said enough? I’m already a little impatient.” Grindelwald looked away from Kyle and urged again.
“I have something else I must say right now,” said Dumbledore. He glanced at Kyle and turned to Snape again without saying anything.
“What do you want to say?” Snape said, “I’ve just said everything I know.’
“It’s not those things, Severus, it’s something else,” said Dumbledore. “You should remember,
In the principal’s office on the eighth floor, where the pensieve is placed, there must be a place to store memories.
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. When you go there, you will find that it is a box with three floors. The upper and lower floors are filled with memories, but there is only one bottle at the top.
“That was seventeen years ago. You decided to help us fight against Tom’s memory and give it to Minerva.
It proves your innocence. “
