Chapter 171 Dumbledore's Memory

Su Ze's gaze lingered on Dumbledore's face for a long time. He already knew who Dumbledore had been looking for after leaving Hogwarts for so long.

Located in Austria, and being an extremely rare natural prophet among wizards, plus being able to have Dumbledore visit him in person, combined with all the above information, the answer is obvious.

Grindelwald, called the 'first Dark Lord' by Harry Potter fans, was a terrifying figure who caused a bloody coup throughout Europe before Voldemort.

Although he was defeated by Dumbledore himself in the legendary battle and imprisoned in Nurmengard Castle, even now, no one dares to underestimate this old man who is over a hundred years old.

However, the combined power of the two most powerful wizards in the world only lifted a corner of the curtain, and Dumbledore suffered such a severe blow. Su Ze could not imagine how terrifying that power was.

"What did you see?" Su Ze had put away his smile at this time. He looked at Dumbledore and said seriously.

Dumbledore did not answer, but waved at Su Ze, then walked to another corner of the principal's office.

Su Ze was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then he looked in the direction Dumbledore was moving, and saw a wide, flat, hollow basin placed in front of the wall on one side of the principal's office.

The surface of the basin looked like some kind of metal, and the edge of the basin was rock. It was decorated with exquisite gems and was engraved with some runes and Saxon runes.

At just one glance, Su Ze recognized the identity of the basin. It was one of the heirlooms in Hogwarts Castle - the Pensieve.

The Pensieve is a very powerful magical item that only powerful wizards can create and use. It has many functions, but the most important one is to store and store memories.

The magic of the Pensieve is to accurately present fragments of memory. It uses every detail hidden in the consciousness to reproduce the memory, even the details that the person has forgotten will be presented one by one.

While the Pensieve is not an offensive magical item, its effects can be very dangerous to those who are eager to keep secrets or have a painful past.

Dumbledore slowly walked to the stone basin, carefully took out his wand, and slowly placed the tip of the wand near his temple.

Seeing Dumbledore's actions, Su Ze knew what the other party wanted to do, so he hurried over.

The next moment, the wand in Dumbledore's hand trembled slightly, and then a silver "thread" was seen being pulled out of his head by his wand - that was a fragment of Dumbledore's memory.

Dumbledore took a deep breath, then turned and looked at Suze.

"I don't think I need to introduce this thing's name and how to use it."

"Pension Basin, I know what this is." Su Ze nodded.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Dumbledore immediately placed the silver thread stuck on the wand into the stone basin. When the thread touched the substance in the meditation basin, a halo of light suddenly spread out.

After doing all this, Dumbledore stepped aside to make room for Suze.

Seeing this, Su Ze didn't say much, but just came forward, held the edge of the meditation bowl with both hands, and put his head into the meditation bowl.

The moment his face was stained with the substance in the meditation basin, Su Ze felt like he was washing his face with a basin, as if he had buried his face in the basin. But soon, a stream of air blew in his face, causing Su Ze to subconsciously open his eyes.

The black ink combined with the waxy yellow halo, when Su Ze opened his eyes again, he found himself in a castle.

"You're crazy, Albus."

The strange voice quickly attracted Su Ze's attention.

In the corner of the castle room, a dirty old man with white hair and a slightly ferocious smile on his face was staring at Dumbledore who was standing opposite him.

"You actually came to me because of a dream. What should I say? You are really a little confused."

"That was not a dream Gellert, but a disaster that was about to befall Hogwarts. It may have already happened, but none of us has discovered this fact." Dumbledore said seriously.

Seeing Dumbledore so serious, Gellert Grindelwald smiled even more. He looked his old friend up and down, as if recalling the past.

"Do you know how many years it has been since I last saw this expression on your face?"

"I need you to focus." Dumbledore took a step forward. "Once this is resolved, we will have plenty of time to catch up."

"is it?"

Grindelwald curled his lips, and no one knew what he was thinking about. However, he did not dwell on this topic, but looked at Dumbledore meaningfully.

"I thought a time traveler from a parallel universe was outrageous enough, but now you're telling me that Hogwarts was destroyed by a fire. Albus, you know that's not true."

"Whether it's true or not, you'll know if you're willing to accompany me to try it, right?" Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald with complicated eyes.

Hearing this, Grindelwald fell silent. He just stared at Dumbledore quietly. No one knew what he was thinking. After a long time, Grindelwald's lips trembled slightly, and then a smile appeared on his face again, and he broke the silence.

"You know, Albus, I can help you with anything if you just ask."

"Then help me, Gellert."

Dumbledore drew the Elder Wand from his waist and handed it to Grindelwald.

"I need you."

Seeing that Dumbledore didn't look like he was joking, Grindelwald slowly put away his smile. He knew the character of his old friend very well. If he really had no other choice, he would never come here.

After a pause, Grindelwald already had the answer in his heart when facing Dumbledore's request. Without hesitation, he reached out his hand and together with Dumbledore, he held the Elder Wand, one of the legendary Deathly Hallows.

In an instant, a silver vortex burst out from the palms of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, forcefully tearing everything around it.

The wind was howling, and the surrounding rock walls were crumbling under the influence of this force. A crack suddenly appeared on the wall behind Grindelwald, and then it grew bigger like a spider web.

Pieces of rock on the wall began to fall off, revealing the true scene behind the wall. It was actually a gorgeous void. Countless streams of light kept whizzing past, shattering anything that approached.

Seeing this scene, although he already knew that this was Dumbledore's memory, Su Ze still subconsciously took two steps back.

The horrifying scene was like a natural disaster. Dumbledore and Grindelwald were extremely shocked as they looked at the crack that they had opened with their own hands.

Even Dumbledore was not prepared for this in advance.

Taking a step forward slowly, Dumbledore stared blankly at the gorgeous void. At a certain moment, he saw a bird's-eye view of a castle, which was the scene of Hogwarts.

"That's it." Dumbledore said excitedly.

But before he could take the next step, his body was grabbed by Grindelwald.

"Are you crazy?!" Grindelwald shouted angrily.

He also saw the scene of Hogwarts, and the raging fire, but he paid more attention to the threat hidden beneath the picture.

In fact, Grindelwald didn't know how this void crack was torn open. He had used his prophetic gift countless times before, but never had he seen such an impact on reality.

This crack is like a door to the void, containing astonishing and terrifying energy. That power is enough to destroy anything that approaches.

"I have to go." Dumbledore squinted his eyes. The strong wind blew his robes and beard, but his face remained firm.

"I won't let you joke with your life. You are seeking death!" Grindelwald grabbed Dumbledore's elbow tightly and said word by word.

"This is my responsibility!" Dumbledore turned and looked at Grindelwald. "You saw it, didn't you? The fire? It wasn't a dream. I'm very close to the truth, Gellert."

Looking deeply at Grindelwald, Dumbledore sighed.

"I beg you"

Staring at Dumbledore in a daze, and seeing the pleading look on the other's face, Grindelwald knew that he probably couldn't persuade him. In fact, he had never succeeded in persuading the other.

Shaking his head gently, Grindelwald sighed.

"Okay, but I want to be with you. If there is any danger, I will pull you out immediately and find a way to close this crack."

Hearing this, a smile flashed across Dumbledore's face, but the expression was soon replaced by a grim one.

The two old men, who were over a hundred years old, supported each other, held the old wand tightly together, and slowly approached the huge and unstable crack.

As the two gradually approached, the void cracks suddenly began to riot. The already chaotic energy turbulence became even more disordered, and even began to splash out from the cracks little by little, corroding the rooms in the castle.

A golden energy turned into a whip and lashed towards Su Ze's head. He subconsciously dodged, but found that the thing passed directly over his body and lashed the ground behind him fiercely. The attacked ground left a hideous mark and began to become charred.

Looking at this scene in amazement, Su Ze turned his head suddenly, only to see that Dumbledore and Grindelwald had forced their way through the overflowing energy rays and reached the edge of the void gap with the magic shield.

Just when the two of them came to within one step of the gap in the void, the brilliant energy that splashed out suddenly turned into a blazing flame.

Then, in the next second, the empty scene in the crack turned into the scene of Hogwarts in the blink of an eye.
