Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Chapter 424

Ved didn’t know how many people were on their way to save him, and he didn’t put his hope on others.

In Vader’s opinion, the most dangerous moment for him was when he just woke up – of course, it wasn’t the cat that threatened him, but Grindelwald’s attitude.

If the dark wizard who was said to have committed numerous murders felt that he could control him in the simplest way and rob him of the skills he had now mastered – using the Imperius Curse, love potions, or deleting memories, Vader would have no choice but to fight back desperately.

But he also knew that his greatest value was not his outstanding magical ability compared to his peers, but his unique alchemy skills.

Those magic or potions that manipulate people will damage their IQ, so as long as the other party has a purpose, he is basically safe.

These problems were clearly thought out by Vader when he was hijacked by the organization last time.

Alchemy is different from most magic systems. It requires wizards to keep a clear mind and clear memory, just like scientists doing experiments. It is impossible to be in a muddled state, and it is even more impossible to be in a love brain that is thinking about “lover” wholeheartedly.

Moreover, unlike technological products that can be stably produced with specific steps, even the most brilliant alchemists may frequently fail during alchemy.

Magic is closely related to the power of the wizard’s mind, and so is alchemy.

So if the alchemist is not willing to cooperate, he is likely to become a money-eating beast that consumes huge amounts of money but produces inefficient and useless results.

Since Grindelwald did not take various means of control or threat when they first met, the greater the value that Vader showed later, the lower the possibility that he would suddenly turn against him.

Unlike Voldemort, Grindelwald values ​​talent rather than bloodline. He advocates elitism, and this famous dark wizard can also be friendly and enthusiastic to capable people.

Therefore, when making the tool to invade the flow mirror, Vader did not pretend to fail to delay time. He spent two hours designing it, and when the materials were in place, he immediately started making it.

This time, he did not use the assistance of unique vision, but only relied on the alchemy technology he now mastered to complete it.

Grindelwald also sent a white-haired alchemist to assist him. The two discussed and worked together. The alchemist praised Vader’s skilled transfiguration, solid magic foundation and unique ideas. Vader also learned some alchemy techniques of German wizards from him.

After three failures, they finally saw the dawn of success on the fourth try.

The alchemist named Wowelet brought a stream mirror for testing and found that the image was indeed successfully replaced, and the transmission of sound and image was also very clear and smooth.

“Oh my God, I didn’t think it would be so smooth – at least not so fast!” Wowelet looked at Vader in amazement: “I guess you have thought about this kind of thing a long time ago, right?”

Vader smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

Wowelet already had a default answer in his mind and didn’t care about his silence. After walking around the radio-like thing twice, he said:

“This is your work… Give this little guy a name.”

“Uh…” Wade thought for a while and asked: “Zero-day squirrel, how about it?”

Zero-day, in the computer field, is usually used to refer to undisclosed vulnerabilities that can be used to launch attacks.

As for squirrels, they are animal thieves in nature.

“-Zero-day?” Wowelet didn’t understand the meaning, but it sounded good, nodded and said: “Very good, I hope this little squirrel can get us more magic nuts.”

The main structure of the Zero-day Squirrel has been completed, and the rest is some filling and modification work on the corners.

“Did Mr. Wowelet graduate from Durmstrang?”

While making a small part, Wade asked casually.

“Well, I studied there.” Wowelet smiled. “Although Durmstrang has a bad reputation for allowing students to get in touch with dark magic, the school is actually different from what most people imagine. Students are usually serious, but they will dance and sing on weekends.”

“Will Durmstrang teach the three unforgivable curses?” Vader asked curiously, “Will students experiment with the Imperius Curse or the Cruciatus Curse on each other?”

“Of course not!” Wowelet said flatly, “Drmstrang’s attitude towards certain spells is the same as other schools! Including Gellert…”

He stopped abruptly and glanced at the door secretly, guarding against Grindelwald suddenly running over.

Then he lowered his voice and whispered to Vader, “- Including Gellert, do you know? He was expelled from school because his dark magic experiments were too dangerous!”

– Really?

Vader didn’t quite believe it.

Because he still remembered that during the Triwizard Tournament, Krum, the contestant from Durmstrang, was under the control of the Imperius Curse and tortured Cedric with Cruciatus.

The Imperius Curse can control the person under the curse, but it cannot put a spell that the other party has not mastered into his brain.

Vader did not refute the other party’s statement, but Wowelet seemed to be aroused by this topic.

“Alas… Gellert was really charming when he was young. I was a few years younger than him, but when I was studying, I wanted to follow him…”

Wovilet said with a fascinated expression: “He may be addicted to dangerous magic, and may have done some wrong things… But his original intention was just to establish a wizard’s utopia, and he was considering the interests of the wizard community…”

“Your headmaster, Dumbledore, didn’t want to sacrifice any innocent people. The wizarding world canonized him as a saint, which seems to me really hypocritical… Don’t frown, kid… If you read more history books – I am Talk about Muggle history books – you will find that no change is without bloodshed…”

“Dumbledore is too weak. Only Gellert – only his proposition can really change the situation of wizards hiding. Even if he fails, I have to say this… I will always believe in him…”

“Thank you, John, for your trust and praise in me.” Grindelwald opened the door and came in. Seeing the relaxed expressions of the two of them, he smiled and said, “It seems that what I want will be completed soon?”

“Actually, this zero-day squirrel is already done!”

John Wowelet patted the machine “Squirrel” next to him and praised with a smile: “What a genius design! Now we are just adding a layer of protection to it to prevent it from being easily damaged during use.”

Grindelwald’s eyes lit up, obviously very surprised, and said: “Great, I think our plan can be made a few days earlier than expected… John, can you complete the rest of the work yourself?”

“Of course…” Wovilet suddenly realized something, glanced at Wade worriedly, and changed his words: “But there are some things I don’t quite understand yet, and I really need to rely on Mr. Gray’s wisdom…”

“Then I’ll borrow Vader first.” Grindelwald interrupted, put his palm on Vader’s shoulder, called the boy’s name affectionately, and said, “We have something to talk about.”

“Gellert, Mr. Gray is really an outstanding alchemist. I have never seen a child of his age possess such profound knowledge…”

Wowelet’s face turned a little pale, and he mustered up the courage to say: “He is still young. Even if you don’t agree with each other, don’t… don’t…”

“Hahaha, where did you think of it, John.” Grindelwald laughed: “We really just [talk], literally!”

Wovilet breathed a sigh of relief, watched a few people walk out of the room, and then sighed sadly.

Although he is the one he chooses to follow… Grindelwald is so ruthless and ruthless, which is really scary!

And he knew very well that Grindelwald was sometimes very impulsive, could do whatever he wanted, and would change his face at any time… If the young and energetic Wade Gray contradicted him, then…

The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, so Wowelet simply put down his wand and walked around the room, waiting for the outcome of the [conversation].

…

In Wowelet’s imagination, Grindelwald saw Vader’s value and would probably coerce him into joining the Wiccan Party.

But Vader obviously admired Dumbledore very much and had a strong sense of belonging to Hogwarts. This trusting relationship could not be broken with just a few words.

When Grindelwald is rejected, he will first use several Cruciatus Curses to “persuade” the other party. Most people will yield in the face of direct violence, but some people will be aroused to a stronger sense of resistance…

The reality is different from the scene that Wowelet imagined. What Grindelwald wants to talk about has nothing to do with topics such as surrender.

He sat comfortably in the armchair, and motioned to Delaine to pour a cup of tea for Wade, and then asked: “Child, do you know your life experience?”

Wade was stunned for a moment, then said: “Of course I know who my parents are.”

There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!

“No, I’m not talking about your parents, but your grandparents, grandmother, and your great-grandparents,” Grindelwald said.

Wade was silent for a moment.

Although Wade had heard some mentions from his parents, there was no genealogy or anything like that at home, not even photos of those people, and Wade had never been curious enough to ask.

In his opinion, sending two children without magical abilities out when the situation was chaotic and then ignoring them was a complete act of abandonment. Although this is a tradition in the wizarding world-even the Weasley family does this-but as a parent, it is undoubtedly a dereliction of duty.

Vader had never thought about identifying his relatives, and in school, he had always claimed that he was from a non-magical family.

Ferdinand and Fiona were his parents in this life, and they raised him carefully. They were the only ones who were his relatives. As for other people, do they want to become a shackle around his neck just because of their blood relationship?

This is impossible.

I don’t know how Grindelwald interpreted the meaning of Vader’s silence. He just casually stated the findings of his subordinates:

“I originally thought your parents were Muggles, but it turns out that they were both in Diagon Alley when you were attending Hogwarts.”

Vader’s eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked at Grindelwald faintly.

“Don’t worry, I didn’t intend to use them to threaten you.” Grindelwald rubbed the rim of the cup and smiled: “I just realized that because you can see the Leaky Cauldron but have no magical ability, your parents are actually squibs, right? “

“Then my people searched for your grandparents. The information was not easy to find. Fortunately, there is an enthusiastic young man from the British Ministry of Magic who is willing to help…”

He looked into Wade’s gray eyes and said, “Your grandmother’s name is Rosie Black, and her father’s name is Marius Black. I heard that you have been to the Black family’s mansion, but you probably haven’t seen this name – Marius Black was expelled from the Black family a long time ago because he was a squib.”

Wade’s eyes moved slightly, but he was not surprised.

Although the Black family is now dwindling, it was once as prosperous as the Weasley family. He has seen the tapestry of the Black family. Those famous families in the wizarding world – Potter, Weasley, Malfoy, Crabbe, Longbottom, etc., have all been married to Black.

And Wade noticed a long time ago… He himself looks a bit like Sirius, but the blood relationship between the two is actually very distant – probably the degree of hanging on the corners of the Nine Clans and Five Clothes Chart.

“And your great-grandfather.” Grindelwald continued, “His name is Joseph Bones, your grandfather is Andrew, and your grandmother is Kara. The Bones family has produced many outstanding wizards – do you know Amelia Bones? She is now the director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in the UK, and she is your distant aunt.”

Wade leaned back slightly, stared at the other party, and asked, “So? What is the purpose of telling me all this? Help me recognize some relatives?”

Grindelwald held his chin with his hand and said with a smile, “I would like to help you establish more close connections in the magic world, but unfortunately…”

The dark wizard sighed softly: “Your grandparents and grandmother have been killed by Voldemort or his Death Eaters.”

“Originally, after you were admitted to Hogwarts, you should have returned to the Bones family, but because your grandparents have passed away, you have always stayed in the Muggle society, and Amelia Bones doesn’t know that her Squib cousin is still alive.”

As Grindelwald said, he observed the expression of the young wizard opposite with interest.

Generally speaking, most people will show obvious emotional fluctuations after hearing the news of their relatives whom they have never met – joy, regret, resentment, sadness, yearning… No matter what kind of emotion it is, it can be understood.

But Wade Grey is different.

He is like listening to a stranger’s story, and even his eyes have no obvious fluctuations.

Grindelwald can see that he is not pretending to be calm, but really doesn’t care. Whether the family was once strong or declining, it seems to have nothing to do with him.

A faint smile appeared in the depths of Grindelwald’s eyes.

“It’s good not to know. I’m used to the surname Grey and I don’t plan to change it.” Wade changed his sitting posture and said, “Thank you for telling me, although I don’t really want to know this.”

Grindelwald tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers and said thoughtfully: “But I want to know – a child like you who should have grown up in the magic world but accidentally lived among Muggles has a deep understanding of both sides – what do you think of the relationship between wizards and Muggles now?”

Wade’s expression moved, and he raised his eyes to look at the other party.

He realized that this was what the other party really wanted to say.

If Wade was a pure Muggle, there would be no such question… But he has blood ties with two famous families in the wizarding world, which makes this question meaningful.

Even his parents cannot be considered non-magical people.

Although the Squibs are at the bottom of the wizarding world’s contempt chain, they are still part of the wizarding world.

After a moment of silence, Wade said: “I don’t know if you have noticed a fact – I am thirteen years old this year.”

Age is his disadvantage, and age is also his shield.

Grindelwald smiled.

“That’s right, I was too anxious.” He stood up and said without question: “Go back and rest. I’m sure you will have a lot of ideas tonight, but you still have to go to bed early… We may need to go out for a walk tomorrow, and you can come with us.”
