Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 145 Sister, you are not dead? (8000)

After all, Dumbledore was a veteran and had seen a lot. After a storm in his mind for a while, he calmed down.

She is just a girl with the last name Grindelwald. Having the last name Grindelwald doesn’t mean she is inherently evil - so what even if she is Gale’s descendant?

Dumbledore is always willing to give young people some opportunities.

The reason why it is said to be uneasy is not because the surname Grindelwald is related to the "dark wizard", but because of its connection with Gellert.

Even if the blood alliance has been torn apart, it is unlikely that anyone will remain calm when faced with a child who suddenly appears and may be the descendant of the ex-boyfriend (?).

only……

He was really familiar with this name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

In simple terms, it's right at the tip of your tongue.

"It seems that you need to go to Nurmengard, Albus." Professor McGonagall said: "In case, I mean in case she is related to that person..."

"You are right, Minerva." Dumbledore nodded gently. "I will leave for Nurmengard in a few days. I think... if she is really his descendant, she will definitely reunite with him at Christmas."

"it is good."

After receiving Dumbledore's reply, Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, turned around and left the headmaster's office.

……

England, 1898.

"This is the voucher of Miss Vladia Elizabeth Emilie Grindelwald of the Austro-Hungarian Empire," Grindelwald stood in the lobby of Gringotts and showed the voucher to the goblins, "I need to go to vault 313 to withdraw some money."

The goblin opposite took the certificate, raised his head and carefully compared the magic signature. After confirming it, he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Grindelwald, follow me."

The two of them got on the rail car and arrived at the door of Vault No. 313 at lightning speed.

"This is it, Mr. Grindelwald," said the goblin teller.

Grindelwald stood at the gate and watched the goblin open it.

What comes into view is a golden glow.

He swallowed subconsciously...

Oh my god, so many gold galleons?
Well, but since a message was left asking me to come and withdraw the money, there must be other messages left in the vault, right?

Ugh……

He felt a little disappointed again.

Foolishly following that guy with a scar on his forehead, I really don’t know what’s so good about him. Is that scarred guy a veela?

The first thing Grindelwald did when he entered was not to take the money, but to look for any clues about his sister left behind.

only……

He searched the vault thoroughly but found no information about his sister.

Grindelwald suddenly fell silent.

His sister had been taking care of him and raising him ever since he could remember.

The two depend on each other and only have each other.

But since the appearance of that scar-headed Veela, everything has changed. In her sister's eyes, there is no longer only her little Gale, but also that bastard Te!
Damn Pot!
And now, that woman had abandoned her little Gail and was determined to find that bastard at all costs! Even without any news!
Grindelwald suddenly felt betrayed. He had been...

Um? What's this?
Grindelwald lowered his head and saw a delicate little pocket watch.

Could it be a time-turner?

He bent down and picked up the pocket watch with the last glimmer of hope.

But when he opened the pocket watch, he found that there was a photo of Scarhead inside, smiling at him, as if mocking him for being a poor guy abandoned by his sister.

Grindelwald was broken.

He roared angrily and threw the pocket watch to the ground.

The pocket watch shattered, just like his young heart.

He raised his head again and looked towards the Golden Galleon Mountain.

This time, it was no longer praise for her sister's financial management ability, but resentment towards the scar-headed Veela.

What she was even more reluctant to admit was her resentment towards her sister.

Gold Galleon...

My sister only told me to take out 100,000 Galleons, but... look at this treasure trove, there are at least several million Galleons!

Ah... Al said that he would fight with me for the greater good. It seems that this money will be our starting capital...

He picked up the wallet cast by the Traceless Stretching Charm and began to put money into it.

"Mr. Grindelwald!" the goblin teller screamed, "Ms. Grindelwald only allows you to withdraw 100,000..."

"Imperio!" Grindelwald snapped his fingers.

He lowered his head and continued to pack the gold Galleons and various antiques in front of him...

"Oh, this star-moon nightgown is so beautiful..." Grindelwald saw the star-moon nightgown hanging on the wall. It seemed to be fixed with dust-proof spells. "Hehe... It seems that it must be the nightgown that my sister bought for that damn scar-headed veela."

He speculated maliciously in his heart, still thinking, "Damn Scarhead Veela, what is it about you that makes your sister like you so much?", and stuffed the nightgown into his wallet.

"It's a pity...my sister can't see it." He muttered softly, looking a little disappointed, and stretched out his hand to continue scratching the treasure.

But just when he put all the gold Galleons into his pocket, he suddenly saw his sister sitting at the innermost part of the vault, looking down at him.

"My dear Gail, is this what you are looking for?"

My sister was holding the silver crown, a symbol of her status, in her hand, with a playful look on her face.

"sister?"

The wallet in Grindelwald's hand fell to the ground with a snap.

The antiques on both sides suddenly came to life and turned into two knights in helmets and armor, pressing him to the ground on the left and right.

"You're not dead?"

The sister in front of him didn't say anything, but just looked at him with extremely cold eyes and raised her wand to point it at his face.

"Sister, spare me, spare me!"

He subconsciously begged for mercy.

He knew that whenever he got into trouble in the past, his sister would relent if he begged for mercy.

However, what greeted him was a scarlet curse.

"what!!"

Grindelwald woke up from his dream with cold sweat on his forehead.

He has been having nightmares like this recently, but the Eye of Prophecy seems to be shrouded in fog, and he cannot see any clues through the fog.

Could it be that...my sister is really coming back?
Grindelwald reached for the water glass beside him and took a swig.

He gasped, trying not to think about the scene he had just dreamed.

Oh my god, that's so...

He wasn't afraid of his sister beating him up, but he was afraid of the look that was looking at him as if he were a stranger.

But then again, he didn't feel like he was in the wrong. After all, if he really had to say who was in the wrong, he thought his sister should be the one in the wrong.

……

The Flamel family's house was not small, at least it was big enough to accommodate the Scamander family, Harry and Vivi.

As for the Traceless Extension Charm, it was a privilege for an alchemist who had lived for six hundred years... Besides, even if the French Ministry of Magic wanted to intervene, they wouldn't be able to find the exact location of the Flamel family's home. After all, it had been protected by the Fidelius Charm.

When he woke up in the morning, Harry found that Vivi's hair had suddenly turned back to silver-white.

"What's going on?" Harry asked, yawning. "Vivi, why is your hair turning white again?"

"I don't know either." Weiwei looked at him with a smile and patted his butt: "Go wash up quickly, and let your sister replenish your magic power when you come back."

When Harry entered the bathroom, Perenelle's voice sounded from behind Vivi.

"How is it, Vivi?" Perenelle asked. "How is this charm for dyeing hair?"

"Thank you, Madame Flamel." Vivi bowed modestly, "This is really very useful to me..."

"But I don't recommend you use too much. After all, he will find out sooner or later." Perenelle said softly.

Vivi raised her eyebrows noncommittally, agreeing with Perenal's words in her heart.

but……

She actually likes this color very much.

"When we return to Hogwarts, I will ask Lucius to nominate you as the school director." Harry said to Pappy, "After all, this is also the compensation from the goblins. I have already discussed this matter with the Malfoy family."

"Then..." Pappy swallowed, "What did Vivi say? Do you agree?"

"That's the advice I gave Harry, too, Pappy."

Vivi used a table knife to spread a layer of jam on the toast, then carefully spread a layer of butter on it, added bacon and sausage in the middle, sandwiched them together and handed them to Harry.

"Yes, yes." Harry took the heart-shaped sandwich and took a bite. "Didn't you agree the last time I told you? Don't worry, we will make sure you become a successful Hogwarts director."

"Yes, aunt." Newt also agreed: "In addition to Harry's support for you, Tina, Theseus, and I will also support you."

"Me too." Mr. Flamel said slowly. He did not eat, but just drank tea leisurely on the side. "Oh, by the way, Dumbledore invited us to stay at Hogwarts in the new semester. I think Perenelle and I should indeed live in a new place..."

"But there's no electricity at Hogwarts," said Harry.

Mr. Lemay turned his head slowly to look at the computer, and said without looking back: "Then I have decided to live in France for the time being - at least until my research is completed."

The people in the room looked at each other, knowing what Mr. Flamel meant.

Going to Hogwarts is obviously not as fun as staying at home and playing Civilization.

After breakfast, Harry and Vivi said goodbye.

The two of them planned to go to Nurmengard to take a look.

“We really don’t need to go with you?” Newt said worriedly, “Even if Grindelwald won’t do anything to his sister, facing Harry… I think he…”

"No, thank you, Professor Scamander." Vivi said with a faint smile.

"But..." Mr. Flamel suddenly said, "I don't recommend that you go to Nurmengard through Apparition. After all, after Gellert formed the Witch Party, he renovated Nurmengard, not only changing the terrain, but even moving Nurmengard Castle into the mountains."

"Is there such a thing?" Weiwei asked in surprise.

Mr. Flamel did not answer. He took out his map and marked it with his wand.

"it's here."

"Okay." Harry picked up the map, "So how should we get there?"

"I have an idea." Vivi grabbed Harry and said to him, "Do you remember the car Hermione's father took us in? Can't we just take the car over there?"

"But we don't have a car, and I can't drive..."

Before Harry could finish his words, he was dragged out by Vivi.

Ten minutes later, the two of them were sitting in the back of a limousine, and Vivi was looking at Harry with a smug look on her face.

"Is this your method?" He said with an indescribable look on his face: "Use the Imperius Curse to control Muggles?"

Weiwei didn't say anything, but just leaned leisurely in the back seat with her eyes closed.

"Isn't this a bad idea?" Harry whispered, "He is an innocent passerby after all. We..."

"If he doesn't send us to Vienna, he will be killed by that man in five minutes and all the money will be taken away." Weiwei pointed at a man wearing a mask in front of him and said,

Harry suddenly realized and said, "So that's how it is, Vivi...you are so kind."

"But even if we go to Austria, we still have to find a way to get to Nurmengard Castle." Harry looked at Vivi and said.

After thinking about it for a moment, Vivi agreed that what Harry said made sense.

"Yes, what you said does make sense." Weiwei said softly, "Gael must have cast a Muggle-confusing spell on Nurmengard Castle. Muggles can't find the castle... but it would be nice if this car could fly."

"Can fly?" Harry suddenly remembered the Weasley family's car. "I remember Mr. Weasley has a flying car. If we drive it, wouldn't it be easy to get to Nurmengard?"

Before he could finish his words, Newt knocked on the car window several times.

"I have a carriage," he said simply. "It's a Thestrals, brought from Hogwarts - I can take you to Nurmengard Castle."

After hearing what Newt said, Harry opened the door and walked out of the car.

After getting off the car, Vivi removed the Imperius Curse from the Muggle driver and deleted a small part of his memory.

Seeing the car rumbling away, Newt looked at Vivi with a complicated expression, thinking that she was worthy of being Grindelwald's sister, as her attitude towards Muggles was exactly the same.

But...he misunderstood Vivi.

Harry followed Newt into the Thestral carriage. He could even see the Hogwarts emblem on the door.

"Does this count as using the bus for personal purposes?" Harry suddenly asked.

“Not really,” Newt replied, “because these four Thestrals were originally mine.”

Harry leaned back slightly to show respect. He knew that this Hufflepuff senior was very knowledgeable about magical animals, but he had never expected that even the Thestrals at Hogwarts were bred by him.

"I thought it was Hagrid's." Harry laughed and leaned back in the carriage.

"Hagrid does have the responsibility to take care of them. After all, I can't come to Hogwarts to take care of them." Newt lowered his head and smiled, "But in order to take care of Aunt Pappy, I can still come to Hogwarts as a professor."

"I think Pappy would be happy to have relatives like you around." Vivi said softly, "At least among the people she knew back then, there was a Theseus... You are also a nephew who is very close to her."

"Don't you have Gale too?" Harry nudged her arm.

Vivi smiled and didn't answer, she was actually talking about Cassandra.

Only Cassandra, whose father and brother had both passed away, had no one she knew in the world a hundred years later - except Harry and her.

As he spoke, the Night Thestral carriage started and flew into the sky.

But inside the carriage, it was as stable as the ground.

Magic is indeed magical.

They flew from morning to afternoon before they arrived at the outskirts of Nurmengard Castle.

"I think you should go back, Professor Scamander." Vivi said to Newt after getting off the carriage: "After all, this is a family matter between Gale and me, I hope you can understand."

"Okay, if there's anything, you can always call me." Newt lowered his head and said, "I'll go back first."

"Thank you, Professor Scamander." Vivi bowed like a lady.

"Well, goodbye, Professor Scamander." Harry waved at him.

The security at Nurmengard Castle was not strict. At least they had walked to the edge of the castle and had not seen any people from the Austrian Ministry of Magic guarding it.

When they reached the door, two men in suits appeared in front of them.

"This is not the place you should be, little wizard." The two said politely.

They didn't come out to intercept them just now because they thought the two were Muggles who had strayed into the place by mistake.

After all, there is a Muggle Confusion Charm around the castle, and people without magic cannot see the castle.

But as they walked toward the gate, the guards finally confirmed the identities of the two men.

It's not a Muggle, but a little wizard who got here by mistake.

"I'm here to look for someone." Vivi said softly.

"The person you are looking for is not here." The wizard opposite frowned, "You look like students, right? Go back quickly!"

"The person I'm looking for is Gellert Grindelwald." Weiwei said again: "If you know where he is imprisoned, take me to find him."

"Gellert Grindelwald is a wanted criminal guarded by the Ministry of Magic. No outsiders are allowed to visit him." The two wizards said in unison, "Is he a student of Durmstrang? I need to remind you that you should not regard the worship of dark wizards as a show-off behavior of being unique. It is not cool."

"Can't I even visit my own brother?" Vivi whispered, and she took out her wand.

"What brother?" The two wizards felt they were being teased. The girl in front of them was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. She came to Nurmengard to visit Gellert Grindelwald by name and said he was her brother?

Are you kidding us?
"Ministry of Magic, Harry." Vivi drew out her wand, "Expelliarmus!"

Harry understood what Vivi meant - people from the Ministry of Magic should use white magic as much as possible.

Harry followed Vivi's actions and disarmed another wizard.

Then the two of them tacitly cast a petrification spell on each of the two men.

"Let's go in through the main gate." Vivi reached out and held Harry's hand, just like when she first brought Harry to Nurmengard on Christmas a hundred years ago, with her head held high and her chest puffed out, very proud.

The defenses in Nurmengard Castle were not tight. From the main gate to the main hall on the first floor, Harry and Vivi only fought against six guarding wizards.

Through Legilimency, we learned that Gellert was warming himself by the fire in the main hall on the third floor.

Harry and Vivi went all the way to the third floor, but did not encounter any obstacles during the journey.

In front of the main hall on the third floor is a pure wooden door.

Pushing the door open, the view suddenly opens up.

In front of the French window, a white-haired old wizard stood with his hands behind his back.

"I seem to have reminded you that you should knock on the door before coming to my place?" His tone sounded a little impatient.

"But you didn't knock when you took my gold galleons, Gale," said Vivi.

Hearing this voice, Grindelwald's back suddenly paused.

Then he turned his head sharply.

"elder sister?!"

There was a hint of disbelief in his voice, a hint of joy at having regained something, and even some unspeakable resentment.

"I'm glad you still remember that I'm your sister, Gale." Vivi looked at him with a smile, "But I didn't expect that after so many years, my brother seems to have become a prisoner under the guard of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Yes, prisoner."

Grindelwald smiled, turned his gaze to Harry, and curled the corners of his mouth downwards.

"Heh... Scar-headed Veela... Is this the boy you're willing to travel through time and space to find at all costs? He doesn't look special, except that the lightning-shaped scar on his forehead is becoming more and more eye-catching."

When Grindelwald met Harry, he was extremely jealous, as if he was meeting an enemy. His white hair automatically stood up, and every strand pointed to the sky.

Weiwei's eyes suddenly became dangerous.

"Are you angry, my dear sister?" Grindelwald noticed his sister's defense of Scarhead, shook his head and chuckled, "Yes, your boy being ridiculed and mocked like this is certainly worthy of your anger, but have you ever thought about how I was ridiculed by others after you left me, an eight-year-old, and disappeared?"

He put one hand on his chest and said in agony, "I will do my best to prove to others that my sister doesn't love me. She just...she just disappeared, or something happened to her."

"Oh, I forgot."

At this point, Grindelwald smiled self-deprecatingly: "In your eyes, there is only your golden boy - just because he took the crown from the tree for you - don't tell me that you fell in love with him because of this little thing?"

Weiwei's eyes softened a little.

Even Harry turned his head and looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

He also felt a little guilty. Although the old man Gellert emptied Vivi's vault, Vivi abandoned her younger brother because of him, which was indeed wrong.

Grindelwald noticed the guilt on the part of his sister and Scar-headed Veela, and felt a little relieved.

It seems...playing the emotional card is indeed effective.

God knows how many times he has been hung up and beaten in his dreams by his sister in countless ways in recent times.

Even though he was a well-known dark wizard, he still felt like a complete coward when facing the blood suppression of his sister.

He continued to press on: "I know that after becoming a white swan, you are flying high in the sky and can't see your poor brother... It doesn't matter. It's over. I can only try my luck in England and find news about you."

"When I learned that my sister left 100,000 gold Galleons at Gringotts in England, do you know how happy I was, sister?" Grindelwald laughed at himself. "But the truth dealt me ​​a heavy blow. I searched frantically in the vault for any message you left for me, but apart from those cold gold Galleons, there was nothing..."

"Yes, nothing, sister." Grindelwald raised his head and sniffed, as if trying hard not to let his tears flow.

"Gail..." Tears flashed in Vivi's violet eyes.

"This is my revenge on you, sister." Grindelwald smiled, but it was a bitter smile. "I am very happy to see you so angry - because I finally made you feel heartbroken, sister."

Vivi feels very guilty.

She admitted that she was indeed not a qualified sister, as she abandoned her younger brother, who depended on her for a boy.

"It's only two million, seven hundred and sixty-three thousand, two hundred and fifteen Galleons. It doesn't matter," she said.

A long line of emotionless emotion passed through Gellert's heart.

You remember it so clearly, even the decimal point, and you still say it's not important?
He thought he had to add a little more spice—

"Of course it's important, sister." Gellert continued, "I know that this is the money you have accumulated from the poachers' camps in the British Isles, the lair of the Fire Ash Snakes, and the inventory of the rebellious goblins. This is your hard work - and I, Gellert Grindelwald, am proud that I can take revenge by trampling on my sister's hard work."

As he said this, Gellert put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, and had a weird look on his face.

"You also know that it was your sister's hard work?" Harry instinctively felt that he should defend Vivi, so he asked back.

"Oh, Scarhead." Gellert looked at Harry with eyes that showed he was looking at a new world. "Revenge tastes sweet, doesn't it? I want my sister to experience the pain I have gone through. Only then can I feel a little comfort..."

After saying that, he looked at Weiwei again.

"What are you still standing there for, sister? Don't tell me you're soft-hearted. Facing your brother who trampled on your hard work, shouldn't you pick up your wand and cast some evil curses on his face? Just like what you did to Xudela and the others!"

Gellert was still speaking softly, and his expression looked like he deserved a beating.

But the more he did this, the more guilty Vivi felt.

She sighed softly.

"Why, sister, after more than a hundred years, have you forgotten how to torture people with spells?" Gellert laughed, "Oh... I forgot. I was the only one who experienced a hundred years without my sister, but for you, it was only a short moment."

These words made Weiwei stagger as if she was hit by a heavy hammer, and tears immediately flowed down her cheeks.

She grabbed Harry's arm, as if to steady herself.

"No, Gail, I..."

"Okay, stop explaining, sis."

Gellert finally felt relieved. He slowly walked forward and came to Vivi's side.

"Come on, raise your wand..."

"I……"

Vivi's crystal tears rolled down her cheeks.

Gellert still had that leisurely, unhurried smile on his face.

"I'm losing my mojo, Gail," she said.

Lost the magic?
Gellert's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right, how can time travel be without any cost?" He said casually, "Perhaps you should let me accompany you to regain your magic."

"It's no use, Gail." Vivi shook her head gently, "But... I was a Squib before I was fifteen, so I'm not unaccustomed to this kind of life."

She held out a hand and offered it to Gellert.

Gellert placed his hand on Vivi's hand doubtfully. After a while, he really did not sense any magical power in Vivi.

"That's a shame, sis," he said.

As he spoke, he quietly pulled out the wand from his waist with his hands behind his back.

Since my sister has lost her magic power, no one can save you! Scarhead Veela!
I must hang you on the roof of Nurmengard Castle and let you feel the cold wind all day!

Believe me, I will let my sister see you hanging on the roof with her own eyes!
The moment he touched the wand, he quickly pulled it out.

"Expelliarmus!"

Gellert's wand spun and flew into Vivi's hand.

He looked at Weiwei in astonishment. He had clearly not detected any magical fluctuations just now, just like the Muggles and Squibs...

But why did she suddenly regain her magic power?

"Gail."

The corners of Weiwei's lips curled up slightly.

She handed the wand to Harry and whispered, "I'm your sister, Gale. How can I not guess what you're thinking?"

"Sister, I..."

Gellert regrets it now, really regrets it.

Oh my God, why did I believe my sister’s lies?

He even took insurance and used a spell to detect his sister's magic...

It's bad, this was the last thought in his mind.

Then he felt his body flying up and hitting the ground heavily.

Just when he thought his old bones were going to be broken, he didn't expect that his sister was considerate enough to put armor under him to protect him.

Before he could rejoice, he realized that the armor was worse than without any padding.

Although this will not break bones, the feeling of being smashed to the ground like this is really enough to drive people crazy.

"Gail~" Vivi spoke softly, as gentle as Gellert: "Who do you think will mourn for you in this room?"

"No one." He said honestly: "But Mom and Dad will definitely not..."

"You still have the nerve to mention mom and dad!" Weiwei sneered, "I'm going to send you to meet them today, you're the disgrace of the Grindelwald family! If you stay in this world, you'll only make potatoes expensive!"

As she spoke, Vivi swung her wand and threw Gellert against the wall.

There was a muffled bang from the wall, and even the chandelier on the ceiling began to shake.

It was obvious that the old man was thrown up with great force.

"You took my money. It would be fine if you could succeed, Gellert Grindelwald!" She sneered, "But what I can't accept is that you not only failed! But you were also locked up in the castle like a hamster!"

(I will post this later, I have been thinking about it for a whole day...)
