Chapter 86 A Name That Can Scare People
This scene is a bit dramatic.

Old Barty ·Crouch feels a little embarrassed.

In a little while, he is going to negotiate the arrest of Grindelwald as the representative of the British Ministry of Magic, go with the Ministry of Magic of other countries, and now Grindelwald is drinking tea at his house.

"Headmaster Dumbledore knows?"

Wesson Wright handed old Barty · Crouch a cup of hot tea.

"This is a letter from Dumbledore to me."

old Barty ·Crouch took out the letter from Dumbledore to him directly.

"Let me see."

Gellert Grindelwald took Dumbledore's letter unceremoniously.

This scene is even more dramatic.

If Dumbledore could see that old Barty · Crouch sent his letter directly to Grindelwald, it is estimated that the old man's heart and blood pressure may become a little less good.

【Dear Crouch 】

【Please be sure to ask other Ministry of Magic to block the news after you arrive in Austria, don’t panic, try not to disclose this incident, I will On December 26, I went to the Austrian Ministry of Magic. ]

[Please forward this letter to another Ministry of Magic]

[Albus · Dumbledore]

"Dumbledore has changed a lot."

Grindelwald put down the letter in his hand, and looked the head sighed, "But this guy is still so smart, this letter will make those timid Minister of Magic chiefs a little more reassured."

Yes.

This is Dumbledore's strategy.

All it takes is a handwritten letter from Dumbledore to silence the Ministry of Magic across Europe, believing that Dumbledore, the white wizard, will defeat Grindelwald again.

"A little disappointed."

Wesson Wright couldn't help but shook the head and whispered, "I thought Headmaster Dumbledore was going to Austria overnight, didn't expect him In my heart, it's more important to solve Pettigrew Peter's business..."

"..."

Grindelwald's eyes twitched, he lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea, he could probably guess Dumbledore's Thought: "If nothing else, maybe it's because he thinks Pettigrew Peter can solve your disguise faster."

As expected of a friend who used to be very close.

Grindelwald glanced at Wesson Wright, who was a little disappointed next to him, and continued: "If you didn't leave any information, Dumbledore should be in the Austrian Ministry of Magic by now."

"It doesn't matter."

Wesson Wright's disappointment subsided, opened the mouth and said calmly: "In comparison, I still hope that Headmaster Dumbledore can recognize Pettigrew Peter, the third generation Dark The Lord's harm..."

"Do you have a grudge against him?"

Grindelwald thought Wesson Wright's behavior was a bit nasty.

How much hatred between them makes people like Wesson Wright keep putting the blame on Pettigrew Peter's head, I don't know Pettigrew Peter has so much on his back, when the time comes How can you survive...

"How could you have such a thought?"

Wesson Wright raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, and defended insincerely: " I am seriously helping Mr. Peter to build up his courage. Mr. Peter is a Gryffindor. I want him to know that one's life can't always drag out an ignoble existence, and he still needs to make his life a little more exciting... "

It's just a little bit exciting...

Maybe a little bit terrifying.

However, without enough stimulation there will not be enough motivation.

"If I have nothing to do, I'll go to Austria first."

Old Barty Crouch's forehead throbbed, feeling that he couldn't talk to these two people: "If there is If anything, you can write to me and I may be there for a while."

Because at the moment...

The chances of Grindelwald getting caught are a little low.

Especially coupled with the fact that he is a spy who is about to spy on the international magic cooperation conference, basically the Ministry of Magic in the European continent doesn't have to think about catching Grindelwald.

"Maybe you'll be back soon?"

Wesson Wright picked up the letter on the table and handed it to old Barty Crouch, lightly said with a smile: "Maybe you just In Austria, there might be some big news in Britain, and our Minister of Magic will probably call you back soon."

Wesson Wright stopped old Barty Crouch and continued softly. : "By the way, where is the money, I want to create some potion, so that Mr. Grindelwald will not be too embarrassed when he faces Headmaster Dumbledore at night..."

"..."

Grindelwald wants to rebut.

However, remembering Dumbledore's strength, he could only helpless shut his mouth.

Today is Christmas.

Godric's Hollow is not at all tense.

The Grindelwald escape from the outside world is not known to the public, and even if it reaches Godric's Hollow, it is unlikely to affect the atmosphere here, because Dumbledore is here.

It is well known throughout the British magic circle that Dumbledore will be throwing a banquet today at Godric's Hollow where A History of Magic scholar Ms. Bathilda Bagshot will share what she received from Ravenclaw's crown. wisdom.

The head of the British Ministry of Magic thinks that maybe it is for this reason that Dumbledore never went to Austria, and the crown of Ravenclaw is a treasure left by the founder of Hogwarts!
Evening hours.

In Godric's Hollow, people coming, people going.

A group of wizards in dresses arrived.

Daily Prophet reporter Rita Skeeter also came to Godric's Hollow, hoping to see Ravenclaw's crown as a student from Ravenclaw house.

This female reporter, with wavy hair on her head, a notebook in her hand, and a pair of expensive jewel-encrusted glasses on the bridge of her nose, searches the crowd for Dumbledore's silhouette, hoping Dumbledore's interview with the story behind Ravenclaw's crown gives her a bit of insight.

For example...

Why wasn't the banquet hosted by Professor Ravenclaw Head of House Flitwick?
For example...

Whether this crown left by Rowena Ravenclaw belongs to the Ravenclaw house, to Hogwarts, or to Dumbledore as his own private collection.

As soon as Dumbledore speaks, Rita Skeeter promises she'll be able to write a pretty good article that will impress the rest of the entire Daily Prophet.

Unfortunately, Dumbledore never showed up.

Rita Skeeter supported her frame and looked back and forth at everyone present. She had been unable to see Dumbledore, but that didn't mean that the female reporter had nothing to do.

Rita Skeeter's eyes soon fell on Ms. Bathilda Bagshot, and a self-confident smile flashed on the corner of her mouth. She had interviewed this man before. A History of Magic scholar's!

In those days, Ms. Bathilda Bagshot made a lot of news!
It's just that Rita Skeeter's way of interviewing Ms. Bathilda Bagshot was disgraceful at that time. The female reporter used Veritaserum on an aging old lady and got a lot of information about Dumbledore and Grindelwald when they were young. s story.

Obvious.

These stories are not suitable for children.

But Rita Skeeter doesn't care about this, she only cares that she can know more about the news, she will definitely make a big news, and even publish a brand new story about Ravenclaw's crown.

“Long time no see, Ms. Bagshot.”

Rita Skeeter moved towards the aged A History of Magic scholar, who There was a smile on the corner of his mouth because it looked a little cold and scary, which made Ms. Bathilda Bagshot, who hosted the banquet, unable to help but be a little scared.

This woman!

It's this woman again!

It was because Rita Skeeter poured Veritaserum that the old lady's spirit was almost unbearable, and now when I saw Rita Skeeter again, Bathilda Ba Saudi stepped back involuntarily!
"Good evening, Ms. Skeeter, it's the banquet..."

Bathilda Bagshot glanced around nervously.

"Don't worry, there's still a while."

Rita Skeeter quickly spread out her notebook, a dark green shorthand quill automatically jumped into the notebook, I'm going to start recording the exchanges between them, and by the way, I will add oil and vinegar to it.

As a wizard reporter, this shorthand quill is Rita Skeeter's tool. Not only can he record in his own notebook, but he can even take the initiative to make some language modifications.

"I'm going to greet the other guests..."

Bahilda Bagshot hurriedly tried to escape.

"Ms. Bagshot!"

Rita Skeeter grabbed the old lady's arm, and a penetrating smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "You wouldn't have What are you hiding? I'm a reporter, and my job is to dig out the truth, you know what I mean..."

This smile made Bathilda Bagshot involuntarily even more terrified!

However, the old lady didn't dare to leave just like that, for fear that the reporter would write something nonsense on "Daily Prophet", but many people knew about Rita Skeet, and as long as this reporter had A little bit of information will be made up!
Just when Ms. Bathilda Bagshot was in a dilemma, an old man wearing a trench coat came over, holding her wrist affectionately, bowing his head softly and speaking in her ear.

"Go and do it, leave it to me here."

"Okay, okay, okay…Thank you…Thank you…"

Just as Bathilda · Bagshot was sighed in relief, and when she was about to leave for an excuse, she inadvertently saw the old man's eyes, which made her heart beat violently!
This is...

These eyes...

Only one person has these eyes!

Because Bathilda Bagshot has stayed at Godric's Hollow until now to do A History of Magic research, very few people can impress her, and there is no doubt that she has some important people. Very impressed!
This man...

Bahilda Bagshot is impossible to forget who he is!

"Is that you...?"

Bashida Bagshot's heart was beating wildly, and she looked at this gentle old man in disbelief: "How could...you How could you be here... shouldn't you be..."

"en?"

The old man was puzzled for a while, then suddenly chuckled and said, "It seems that Dumbledore hasn't told me yet. Your news, it's okay, I'm here to tell you the news myself, we haven't seen each other in sixty years..."

"Wait a minute."

Rita Skies Te looked at the old man who suddenly appeared, interrupted their communication with a smile, and asked softly, "May I ask about your identity? What is your relationship with Ms. Bathilda Bagshot? Although I Not sure if an A History of Magic scholar's love story would interest readers..."

"I don't think they would be."

This spirited old man could There was also some humorous chat with Rita Skeeter, who chuckled and introduced himself: "I'm the grandnephew of Ms. Bathilda Bagshot."

"..."

Rita Skeeter was immediately bored.

The next moment, however, she remembered that she had interviewed Bathilda Bagshot, and if she remembered correctly, the grandnephew of Ms. Bathilda Bagshot seemed to be the one...

“Gellert Grindelwald.”

The old man smiled and held out a friendly hand to Rita Skeeter, even blinking one of his fancy eyes: “Hopefully Someone will still remember me as a retired old man."

The second update for swordmaster Mo Xiao!
