Chapter 385： Preparation

Sean, who raised his head from the Pensieve, gasped violently, his eyes full of shock.

Just now, what attacked Hogwarts? !

Even through the memory, Sean could feel a palpitating sense of oppression, as if the whole sky was about to be pressed down.

He even came up with the idea of ​​whether it could be a mushroom bomb, but it was quickly rejected.

If it has reached this point, Grindelwald must have a deep understanding of Muggle weapons, and he will not let such powerful weapons attack Hogwarts.

And, Sean found a very strange point.

When he first entered his memory, Grindelwald's tired appearance was obviously just after a war, and, as far as Sean knew, Hogwarts Castle actually had a certain ability to repair itself.

This shows that the battle was over not long before Grindelwald had that memory.

However, Sean only saw Grindelwald alone, and only heard voices in the auditorium.

No wizards passed by outside the auditorium, and there were no other voices that fit this battlefield.

This is not reasonable.

Therefore, Sean is inclined to another guess, it is very likely...

People are already dead...

And the culprit is likely to be the thing that finally attacked Hogwarts.

That must be the key to Grindelwald's determination to travel through a hundred years!

"Huh..." Sean let out a long breath. He looked up and made sure that this trip to memory did not cause the world's will to wake up.

Then he thought about the harvest of this journey.

The most urgent problem at the moment is that there is a perfect solution to the awakening of the world's will caused by Grindelwald's 100-year journey.

What Sean has to do is to convince the old and the young Grindelwald, extract their memories, and give the other party something that can increase the little Grindelwald's magic power.

And that thing...

Sean opened his ring, and not long after he whistled, the little air-wing bird wobbled over with a basin of pale red bamboo tied with its tail.

Taking the things, Sean looked at it carefully.

No matter the texture or size, or the special color, it is exactly the same as the one I saw in memory.

All the blood of two adult unicorns is mixed into it...

Sean got this pot of bamboo from West, who is also named Newt. The magical animal breeding expert who is similar to Hagrid is Professor Scamander's assistant Bonty Brodek. Er's grandson.

Sean took a fancy to this pot of bamboo from the moment he "blackmailed" the spoils, although he didn't know what the use of this thing was at the time.

But it is the same instinct, Sean subconsciously thinks this is a very valuable thing.

Unexpectedly, this turned out to be what Grindelwald brought when he crossed...

Is it destined in some sense?

Grindelwald thought that only Sean could handle this matter, but Sean really got a key item before.

This is amazing.

However, with this thing, I don't have to go to the east again.

And what he needs to go to is the place that Grindelwald gave him. Old Grindelwald is hiding there, and there is a memory of persuading little Grindelwald at the bottom of the lake.

If everything goes smoothly, then all the steps should be like this.

Both Grindelwalds drew their memories after 1899, and the little Grindelwald absorbed the blood of the unicorn to obtain the same magic power as the old Grindelwald, so that the two of them could reach an agreement.

According to the rules of time travel, it is necessary to wait until 1966, the time point when Grindelwald crossed, and let Grindelwald use the time converter.

This time there is no need to go back a hundred years, maybe three hours is enough.

As long as there is no problem with this step, the will of the world will not wake up.

Then handed over all the preserved memories to Grindelwald, including the one from Dumbledore.

When the other party has absorbed the memory, the truth of the time-travel can be unraveled.

And Grindelwald won't have to be tied down by then.

Of course, there will be a new problem - the Broken Blood Alliance.

What Sean is most worried about is what will Dumbledore's attitude be when the two Grindelwalds become one and return to themselves?

And what is the attitude of that Grindelwald who has all the memories?

At the end of the memory, Grindelwald told Sean: "If everything becomes uncontrollable, then kill me, Sean. By the way, remember to say sorry to Albus for me."

All of this started because of Grindelwald. According to his character, if killing him can solve the problem, then this man will not hesitate at all - this is something Sean can understand.

But that apology to Dumbledore made Sean feel bad.

What exactly happened to the two of them in the world before Grindelwald crossed...

Sean looked at the exit, and finally got up quickly and walked towards the wooden door.

He had to talk to Dumbledore.

I hope the other party is in the principal's office...

The corridors of Hogwarts late at night were silent, and Sean soon came to the headmaster's office.

The drip-mouth stone beast looked at Sean with a sullen face, and before he could speak, he said, "If you still try for half an hour on my side, I'll hit you with my starched mound—you take out that stick to dry it. Well?! You, are you still pointing at me?! I warn you, don't look at me like that, I am the property of Hogwarts, and destroying the public property of the school will be locked up!"

Stiff for two seconds and then immediately in front of the wand, the drip-mouthed stone beast from the heart made Sean shake his head amusingly.

"I'm just kidding with you. Besides, I don't want to try the password. Is Professor Dumbledore here?"

The drip-mouth stone beast turned into a cold stone sculpture again, and after a while, he rolled his eyes and said honestly.

"The professor said he wasn't there."

Good guy... Sean's eyes twitched.

"Ah... I shouldn't have asked you to help me spread the word."

An old voice came, and the drip-mouth stone beast jumped to the side.

Dumbledore came out.

"Professor, there's no need to avoid me all the time, right?" Sean shrugged.

Dumbledore smiled helplessly: "I have to, Sean, I hope you can understand."

After saying this, the two fell silent.

The water-mouth stone beast glanced at the two people with its stone eyes without pupils and irises, and finally decided to stay still and be a good statue.

Sean wanted to ask about the Broken Blood Alliance, but when he stood in front of Dumbledore, he didn't know how to ask.

Because, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Sean didn't know how he should get involved, or, in other words, what identity did he use to get involved in the affairs of the two?

Grindelwald's disciple? Dumbledore's student?

Neither is appropriate.

I'm afraid, this still has to be solved by the two of them...

In silence, Dumbledore spoke first.

"Sean, I think you have found a lot of clues?"

Sean nodded: "I... I saw a memory—"

Before he could continue speaking, Dumbledore waved his hand: "Don't tell me, boy, frankly, I'd better be less involved in all this. You can understand that when I see After that memory, I was-"

Dumbledore pointed to the sky: "It's been paid more attention, so that's one of the reasons I've always asked you to solve it. At present, you've done a good job, and it makes me a little ashamed."

"You don't have to say that, professor." Sean shook his head.

"Oh, all the old men like to pretend to be humble like this, so as to maintain their lofty and kind image, but what I said is indeed the truth." Dumbledore smiled lightly.

Sean sighed and decided to clarify his purpose: "Professor, I found a solution, I need that memory."

He saw Dumbledore's eyes lit up obviously, and the other party said quite happily: "Oh, that's great, you're doing so well, faster than I thought - I've put that memory in the headmaster's office, this is The password for a while was—well, let me think."

Dumbledore clapped his hands: "It's called [Memory]. When you need it, you can get it at any time."

"Okay, I made a note, Professor."

Dumbledore nodded to him: "It's time for this happy conversation to end, and although it seems I am hypocritical to say this, I still have to mention that you have to go to bed - Minerva complained to me Once, she thought I put too much courage on you, and Mr. Wallup, who loves Transfiguration, would even doze off in her class."

"Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, child." Dumbledore patted him on the shoulder, smiled, then turned and walked towards his office.

Sean paused, then said to Dumbledore, "Professor, he asked me to bring you a sentence, and he said, I'm sorry."

Dumbledore's figure didn't stop, he just reached out and waved, indicating that he knew.

The figure of the old man was blocked by the drip-mouth stone beast.

Sean sighed silently, and when he was about to leave, the water-mouthed stone beast stopped him hesitantly.

"Oh, I don't think I should have told you this... but it's not within the rules of Hogwarts public property. Mr. Headmaster has often been out of the office for more than a year, and it's basically late at night when he comes back. , Although it is strange to say that as a stone statue, I can see that the principal is very tired, and sometimes the charred robes are not replaced in time."

"Okay, I'm done."

The Dishuizui Stone Beast muttered and returned to its icy stone appearance.

Sean was stunned, hesitant for a while, and said loudly to the office.

"Professor, I've always believed that what you're doing is for the betterment of the world - it's not a moral kidnapping, and it's not that I'm testing you, but as Sean Wallop said in his heart, In my heart, you have always been a trustworthy and respectable elder."

After speaking, he strode away from here.

The stone corridor was empty, and the moonlight shone down through the gaps in the curtain.

The drip-mouth stone beast moved its ugly and ferocious face and blinked its stone eyes.

"Oh, I got it this time - Mr. Principal asked me to say after you left, thank you Sean."

…

"The ban from the Ministry of Magic is still going on. I regret to inform everyone that you will spend this Christmas holiday at Hogwarts." Professor McGonagall announced loudly.

The students let out a sigh of disappointment that could not be concealed.

Under the current situation, owl communication has not been restored, and the Christmas holiday is naturally unrealistic.

Professor McGonagall adjusted his glasses and softened his tone: "I can understand everyone's feelings, and I'm sorry. All I can do is provide you with a nice Christmas break, Hogg Watts will also give you the gifts you want, and I hope you can understand."

After the announcement that they would not be able to go home for Christmas, many students secretly approached Sean.

"Sean, please, please." Several students asked Sean with letters.

During the period of being closed, the news that Sean could communicate with the outside world also circulated in several small circles. Under the current situation, naturally many students hope that Sean can help convey the letter.

"No need to worry about this." Sean accepted the letter with a smile.

In fact, Sean was sure that the professors should also know that they had a channel to contact the outside world, but they didn't say it, and they obviously acquiesced to this matter.

Sean understands everyone's desire to connect with their relatives, so he is willing to help.

After meeting with Hermione Daisy, the two girls brought a load of letters.

"Sean, UU Reading According to what you said, anyone who wants to get in touch with their family can help—a lot of people." Hermione said while sorting out the letters.

"It's normal, it's not troublesome for me." Sean said with a smile.

"What about you?" Daisy blinked, "Are you going out?"

Sean spread his hands: "Am I being obvious?"

Hermione and Daisy looked at each other and nodded.

"Okay, I do have to go out, but there is a problem that needs to be solved..." Sean said helplessly.

He was going to use the Christmas holidays to go to Grindelwald's hiding place and start all the preparations.

However, Sean found that he had been neglecting one point, and it was also the most crucial point.

Grindelwald's "two in one" needs one thing.

Time converter.

Yes, Sean found that he had forgotten the most crucial part, the time converter.

All the time converters in the Ministry of Magic have been destroyed, and he can't go to the Department of Mysteries to find them again. Will there be any good time converters preserved?

There should be one for Grindelwald, but Sean needs another for Grindelwald.

This is a big problem.

Sean got in touch with West during the period to make sure that the pot of Wenzhu was indeed from the birthplace of the unicorn, and then he also asked a question about the time changer by the way. The other party told him that he had never heard of this thing since he was born. pass.

And Sean asked Lupin to go to the black market of the major wizards to inquire about the news, and there is no time converter to flow through the gray area at all.
