A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 715: The awareness of memory

After separating from Hermione, Felix returned to the office, and turned around and appeared in classroom seven again.

The space of classroom 7 seems to be expanded again, thinking and reality intersect here, maybe a few steps of normal walking distance in this place will become a street, a beautiful garden... Felix deviates from the usual way of students The path used for class passes through layers of fog, and a simple small village emerges in front of my eyes.

Felix stood in front of an ordinary small house and knocked on the door.

It was Grindelwald's memory that opened the door. To Felix's surprise, what he saw in front of him was not the image of a young man, but the face of Grindelwald when he was old, but it looked different when he looked closely.

"I knew you were coming, so I met you with this face. I have been waiting for you." The old man grinned and said with a smile. He was wearing a purple dressing gown, his expression was calm and composed, without the slightest trace of hostility.

The two sat down opposite each other. "Do you have something to tell me?" Felix asked, and then looked at the old man curiously, "Are you whole now? I mean, your memory—"

"Of course, of course." Grindelwald said, "I'm more whole than ever in the moment I'm talking to you. You know what? I'm actually not very happy with this place after being here for a while. "

"Why?"

"One reason is: it's too boring. There are only two memories in the entire space that have the characteristics of life, which is equivalent to half a living person." Grindelwald said. This surprised Felix, because although the memory seems to be still alive, their way of existence is very different from that of real people, such as the perception of time.

"Your performance also surprised me. It looks no different from ordinary people." Felix looked at Grindelwald's memory with probing eyes and said. The other party smiled and did not speak.

"Except for the first reason? You said you were waiting for me, so it has something to do with me?"

Grindelwald nodded slightly, then shook his head slowly.

"I really thought so at the beginning. After the funeral, I decided to leave the necessary information, and the two sides were open and honest, but you never came... Later, those ghosts told me what you did during this time, and I I don't think it is necessary to say it, you completely understand what I mean."

"Then today——"

"It's kind of a farewell. Or, you want to hear me tell a story? You know, I've met them and they don't remember me. It's a weird feeling. It's like going back in time and starting all over again , but only I remember what really happened. My memory becomes a burden."

"Are you referring to Dumbledore, or his sister Ariana and nephew Credence?"

"Aurelius," Grindelwald said slowly, "I prefer to call him that. That kid has helped me a lot."

Felix pretended to be listening.

"Aurelius Dumbledore," said Grindelwald, "I vividly remember... just seventy years ago. During the underground assembly in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery, under my careful planning , he chose to join my team. You can't imagine how much I value him."

"Because of his background?" Felix asked.

Credence is Dumbledore's nephew, but for a long time neither Dumbledore nor Aberforth knew of his existence. It can be said that it was a huge secret at the time, Grindelwald You know it took a lot of work.

"Not only for this reason, he is also a silent person, a silent person who has lived to adulthood. His potential is unimaginable. When he has never received a systematic magic education, he has surpassed ninety-nine percent by instinct alone. Wizard—I originally planned to let him inherit my career.”

Felix was surprised by this statement. He looked at Grindelwald. There was no need for Grindelwald to lie. Felix sorted out many scattered threads along this line of thought.

Grindelwald's biggest obstacle at the time was Dumbledore. Even if there was a blood alliance between the two, as long as Grindelwald did not give up his dream of ruling wizards and Muggles, they would definitely go to confrontation, and the whole world would force them to do so.

In the end, it turned out that even the most unbreakable blood alliance was broken.

"I will not wait for Dumbledore to come to the door, but to take the first step. My plan is to cultivate wizards who can compete with Dumbledore." Grindelwald said slowly.

"Cultivating an archmage? This idea is too bold." Felix slowed his breathing. He put himself in Grindelwald's position at the time, and felt that this plan was extremely difficult.

"It is indeed a bit whimsical, but I finally found a way-maybe even the only feasible way, Obscure."

Felix was stunned. Grindelwald knew that the obscurant could live past the age of ten. The evidence was Dumbledore's sister Arianna. Perhaps his idea at the beginning was to find a young obscurant, take good care of him, and help him subdue his dark magic power —— Silently, but he did not expect to unexpectedly harvest the Dumbledore family's wandering child, Credence.

"A child whose potential is comparable to that of the Archmage and who restrains Dumbledore emotionally fits my requirements perfectly." Grindelwald's memory said slowly, as if he was sitting in front of Felix, calmly Chat with him about past plans, about unknown secrets.

"That meeting also allowed me to catch a loophole in the Ministry of Magic, an Auror killed ordinary people who came to listen to my speech, which gave me a perfect excuse. It's not that I seek violence, from that Since then, the Saints have launched a full-scale confrontation with the existing order of the Ministry of Magic."

"My power expanded rapidly. Aurelius and a woman who can read minds played a huge role in this. While accepting my teachings, the former appeared in various parts of the world and beat the Aurors of all countries to the ground. The latter—I remember her name is Queenie, used her innate talent to see through a large number of eyeliners who came in, and her ability was silent and could be maintained forever.”

"Everything is going in a good direction." Grindelwald said calmly. But Felix knew that he was about to enter a turning point, and sure enough——

"I have been hiding the secret of Aurelius' life experience, using it as a trump card, and preparing to use it at critical moments. But several accidents occurred one after another. On the one hand, the phoenix beside him appeared on the battlefield following him , became famous. A phoenix——” Grindelwald tsk, “There is a legend in the Dumbledore family that when members are in urgent need, the phoenix will appear. It may be this reason that attracted Dumbledore's suspicions; I had to curtail his outings."

"The good times didn't last long, something happened to his body, and his ability became extremely unstable. I tried some solutions, but I could only watch his body collapse. Maybe this is the fate of the Obscure... I Disappointed by this, I believe he realized this himself, he offered to assassinate Dumbledore, but I refused, he is no match for Dumbledore now. Later... Later his little girlfriend came over, She was a blood-cursed orc, and when the two met again, her problems were also serious, and she looked like a snake for most of the day. They stayed together all day until one day, Aurelius Si disappeared for a while, and came back empty-handed..."

"That woman's name is Nagini?" Felix asked.

"You know her too?"

"I know, and even met her once, but in the form of a snake. I think Aurelius set him free."

"Release?" Grindelwald repeated in a low voice, "I thought she was dead."

"Remember the mind-reading woman I mentioned? She's got problems too - oh, not her sister who's trying so hard to bring her back, but something else - she has a numb Melon... my lover, I hope that the two of them will stand together publicly, but after so long and no hope in sight, her position began to waver. I noticed her slack, especially in the most important task - to Ori There was something concealed about the evaluation of Lius' mental state. When I realized this, I knew that the original plan was not suitable, and I had to speed up."

"I decided to run for the president of the International Federation of Wizards. In fact, no matter what the result is, I am ready to launch a war against Muggles, but there are still many people who oppose me at that time, and I hope they can join my camp."

"I found a clue about the unicorn. Its unique magic can increase my chances of winning the campaign, so I sent many teams to find it, and finally Aurelius brought it back. I took the newborn unicorn Made a puppet, and saw a part of the future with its blood... Saw Dumbledore, after I warned him. I had a hunch then, even though I gave him the blood alliance token for several years, he didn't Find a way to crack it, but I do have a bad feeling."

"The result was as I expected. I was successfully elected as the president of the International Federation of Wizards with the dead unicorn, but this trick was broken, and Newt Scamander brought another unicorn, and they It's twins. It's all Dumbledore's doing, but he doesn't know what he's doing, it's not me creating a split, it's him creating a split. That's when I finally made up my mind and I pulled out my wand, Aurelius Si is in front..."

Grindelwald's eyes blurred.

"Everything happened again like yesterday, me, Dumbledore, and his brother, the three of us shot at the same time, and there was a silent man standing next to him who couldn't resist, but the result was completely different, Aberforth didn't matter , I am connected with Dumbledore's spell, and the chains wrapped around his hands are finally broken."

"Dumbledore and I had a short hand-to-hand fight, which was the first time we had hands-on in more than thirty years. When my hand touched his heart, I could feel his heartbeat, but I could no longer feel it. To his inner thoughts. This means that the oath of the blood alliance has been completely lifted."

"The plan was forced to be suspended, and I couldn't care about fighting the Muggles for the time being. Dumbledore stood in the way, even though it was the closest I got to success."

"So the blood alliance was broken because—" Felix asked.

"I don't know either, it was an accident."

"Isn't it because of love?"

"Oh, maybe. The blood alliance is based on blood, but it needs a strong emotion to solidify the magic into shape. We have been bound by this emotion for decades, and we can't let go of it. The only thing I said It makes sense, it may be that Dumbledore transcended the limitations of individual emotions with a stronger love."

Grindelwald's memory stood up and walked to the door.

"Why are you telling me this?" Felix asked suddenly.

"Maybe because, after today, these will become permanent secrets."

From the body of Grindelwald's memory began to radiate silver light spots, and then his face changed little by little, becoming younger, his back was straightened again, and his hair was dyed a brilliant golden color. When he opened his eyes, the pupils were clear blue.

As he said at the beginning, the past memory has become a burden. If you want to start again, you must let go of unnecessary things.

…

When the students went downstairs the next day, they found that the courtyard was filled with white and cold mist. When the three of Harry passed the notice board in the foyer, they saw a group of people pointing at the bottom. Judging from the expressions on their faces, the notice was a good thing.

"Let's go and have a look," said Ron.

"No need," Harry said, "I know what's on it. If nothing else, it should say the first Hogsmeade weekend arrangement."

Ron whistled softly.

"That's great. I heard that Hogsmeade has opened several new shops, so I must go and have a look." He said, "But how did you know?"

"I think," said Harry with a smile, "that I may have pasted it on myself."

"Ron," Hermione said kindly, "If you look carefully, you will find that the handwriting on the notice is very similar to the papers you usually use for 'reference'."

Although he knew it in advance, Harry still had expectations for the short trip three days later. He just wanted to go out for a while, clear his mind, even if it was just to have a drink with Ginny at the Three Broomsticks, and spend two or three happy days. hours.

"Hey, Harry," said Hermione, "you can take this opportunity to meet with Mr. Duoji, didn't you say you wanted to talk to him face to face?"

Harry stared and muttered for a while, "I'll write to him."

"Why don't you get a sound mirror?" Ron asked puzzled.

"Mr. Doge is not used to it." Harry said, "He thinks writing letters will help him clear his mind."

At this moment Neville walked towards them, his face was flushed, and his figure seemed to be wider than usual, maybe it was because of the cold or wearing too much clothes. They went to the auditorium to eat together.

At about the same time, Felix showed up at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Horace Greenstinch, president of the Magical Congress of America, showed up a short time later. When they parted, the expressions on the faces of the other two were particularly dignified.

"I will let the Aurors let go of everything at hand," Horace Greenstinch said in a deep voice, "The investigation will be conducted in secret and will not affect the upcoming Federation Conference~IndoMTL.com~I The principal of Fameni School of Magic also said: "If there are little wizards in the hands of the authorities, the most cost-effective way is not to imprison them or do various experiments, but to let them grow up—whether it is to crack magic or not. It is better to keep the secret, or to cultivate a wizard force of your own, than to simply be imprisoned. What's more, they can also use their status as wizards to spy on all kinds of information..."

They talked in detail for a while, and then Felix appeared at the headquarters of the International Federation of Wizards, waiting for the meeting to be held in the afternoon. He had a vague idea in his mind. Grindelwald's words made him realize that he had also in fact created a split in wizards as a whole. Some problems got easier - but there was no doubt that the two forces would eventually have to come together again.

"Need a suitable opportunity..."

－－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－

Felix and Grindelwald must meet each other, but the meeting in reality did not meet expectations, so they were changed to classroom 7; in addition, out of resentment for the movie, I put the third movie The plot of the novel was revised and revised according to my own ideas, and inserted into the book. I've always wanted to do this, but never had the opportunity before.
