Hogwarts: My name is the Unforgivable Curse - Chapter 389

c379 Dumbledore’s whereabouts

Night, Durmstrang.

The Hogwarts Express is still crawling quietly on the grass not far from the castle, all the windows are dark, and Beauxbatons’ huge carriage is also nearby – even though the Triwizard Tournament has ended, But according to the tradition made in what state of mind, visitors from the other two schools also need to stay with the host until the end of the final exam. It is said that this is done for better communication between students…

However, Avada felt that this was just a delaying tactic by the British Ministry of Magic to delay time and allow Dumbledore to stay in Durmstrang for a while. After all, the progress of the three warriors was too fast, and this trio The true significance of the Strong Tournament is definitely far beyond the Ministry of Magic’s initial expectations.

Not to mention anything else – Gorshak’s speech was broadcast live directly at Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, and was also recorded. In a few days, it will be published in the Daily Prophet and broadcast to the whole of Europe and even the whole world. Watched by the wizards of the world!

There is no doubt that this will also have a huge impact on Avada himself who is on the cusp of the limelight – after all, his appearance in the university is to gain his popularity.

So, in Dumbledore’s office.

“…I knew you would come to me.”

Albus Dumbledore was wearing a pink nightgown and a rather avant-garde nightcap. He wore glasses and looked at Avada who had just sat in front of him with a smile.

“Of course, Professor.”

Avada smiled bitterly: “After all, I will be on the forefront of the storm next, but there are a lot of things I can’t figure out…”

“Who asked you to give me such a big surprise in the first place?”

Dumbledore’s smile added a bit of amusement: “Special admissions at Nobridge University – I was shocked when I just heard about this. After all, it means that someone can be the principal of me.” Infiltrating Hogwarts right under your nose…”

“……cough.”

Avada coughed somewhat guiltily.

“Haha, don’t be nervous. I don’t intend to pursue this matter. Anyway, this is your own future – tell me, what do you want to know when you come to me this time?”

“Well, that’s a bit much.”

Avada couldn’t help rubbing her temples with a headache – during the day, he tried to use the identity of Crewe Imprey to find Grindelwald again to find out the truth behind this matter. But when he asked Principal Gorshak if Nurmengard had been lifted from the ban, he got a dumbfounding reply…

“The ban has been lifted – but Grindelwald made it clear that if you have any questions, don’t ask him. He needs to rest now…”

——What has he been doing in the tower these past few months that makes him unable to even answer his own questions now? ?

Since Grindelwald was too lazy to bother him, he could only go to the other person who knew the truth the most, that is, Dumbledore. Principal Gorshak was more willing to answer his doubts, but on the one hand, he was His identity in the university was not yet the highest, and the information that could be disclosed was limited; on the other hand, the mountain of documents piled up on Gorshak’s desk at that time made him unable to bear to waste the old principal’s time any longer. and energy…

So, after the Triwizard Tournament came to an end, the professors at Nobic Ridge University left one after another after another wave of publicity, and the restless minds of the students gradually calmed down as the night fell, he stood again He walked to the door of Dumbledore’s office, and was called in by Dumbledore before knocking on the door – this was another time he was prejudged.

“As much as possible, after all, even the plan I left for you in the feather is only a small part of this operation…”

The smile on Dumbledore’s face remained unabated, as if the battle during the day did not make him any less tired at night: “Then let me guess, your first question is – in the past few months, What have I done?”

“Uh…yes, Professor.”

Avada froze for a moment before complying with his words – in fact, he wanted to ask Peter Pettigrew about the situation first.

“Well, after all, only one person knows that Professor Moody has been pretending to stay here for the past few months. It is absolutely normal for such questions to arise.”

Dumbledore nodded, raised his hand to fetch two cups of hot tea and placed them on the table. He picked up one of the cups and took a sip: “During this period, I have been playing the role of Geller in Nurmengard Castle. Grindelwald.”

“Playing… Grindelwald??”

The answer to the first question made Avada’s brain make a sudden decision.

He had known for a long time that Dumbledore’s disappearance must be directly related to Grindelwald – but he actually went to jail for Grindelwald for half a year?

What’s the point of this? What is the real Grindelwald doing? I can’t officially join the position of vice-chancellor of Norwich University and plan to make a public appearance – what’s the difference between that and announcing that the university is actually a terrorist organization?

“Most of the things I said during the day were true.”

Dumbledore continued to explain: “Under the influence of the university, those stubborn pure-bloods did secretly contact Grindelwald and planned to ask him to deal with me…”

“Wait, under the influence of the university?”

Avada interrupted Dumbledore’s statement in shock.

“Yes, under the influence of Johnson Shafiq, the regent of Nobic Ridge University, Mr. Shafiq’s father.”

When talking about this, even Dumbledore looked emotional: “Although the Shafik family did not join Voldemort’s forces more than ten years ago, as a member of the Twenty-Eight Holy Clan, he He can still talk to other pure-bloods – after the secret room crisis passed and a large number of important members of the pure-blood family entered Azkaban, Shafiq came to them and said that the current pure-blood family We have the same interests, we should cooperate sincerely, be in the same boat, and be willing to join them in order to kill me and resurrect Voldemort, and at the same time, I brought them news about Grindelwald.”

“You heard what I said to Alastor on the screen, right? What Shafik conveyed was almost the same as what he said at that time. It was that Grindelwald was unwilling to fail and secretly developed his power in the cage. Prepare to overthrow me and so on… Then he said that Grindelwald was willing to help them and provide strength to eliminate Dumbledore – this news greatly increased the confidence and security of those pure-blood families, and also directly brought all of them to Introduced into a trap.”

“You were not involved in these plans?”

“No.”

Dumbledore shook his head: “I only learned about this matter and the existence of Nobic Ridge University during Christmas – before that, I had arranged some things to dig holes for the pure-blood family, but The effect is definitely not as good as this.”

“So, before Christmas, Grindelwald has been discussing cooperation with the envoys of the Pure-Blood Family Alliance in New Mongardry. He will also accept the resources they bring to restore his strength. He even has sparring partners who come over regularly to let him stretch his muscles. , to prevent the hands and feet from becoming rusty after not fighting for too long… It took a lot of effort to hold him on my lap, those guys put a lot of effort into it.”

“…”

Now Avada knew why Grindelwald didn’t let him go to Nurmengard at that time – at that time, everyone in Nurmengard was from a pure-blood family?
