I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"Dumbledore..."

He closed his eyes and pondered the answer to the question.

Apparently Albus Dumbledore would not have a son.

If it was Albus Dumbledore's son, Grindelwald would be attacking Hogwarts by now.

So, the other Dumbledore members.

"At this age, Dumbledore's father would have died long ago, so the only one left is... the goat boy."

John opened his eyes. He had never seen such a thing as a landlady in the Hog's Head Tavern.

"Did you find out, Grindelwald?"

Grindelwald's guess was correct. Even if John knew that Grindelwald was plotting against Credence, he would not and could not stop him.

That's a smart guy.

He had seen that John was not of this world.

That's why they are so unscrupulous.

Let John see how to accomplish his great work.

"Nagini, is this how you gradually turn into a snake?"

John could already roughly guess what happened next.

Credence is targeted by Grindelwald, and Nagini...

Recalling that when he saw Nagini, she had turned into a snake.

She lost her loved one, her only family.

And all this was possible because of the baby abandoned by the Dumbledore family.

Dark air echoed from John's eyes, and he said coldly: "You really make me sick, Dumbledore."

First Ariana, then Credence.

This was the first time he fully expressed his disgust for the principal.

Beneath the image of light and greatness lies an escape from the Silent One's sister.

The love he spoke of was only for Grindelwald, or the young Grindelwald.

...

Credence meets the man who sent him to Barebone.

Irma Dugard.

When he saw the other person, Credence was puzzled.

It was a half-elf woman.

Likewise, not Credence's mother.

"I'm not your mother. I'm just a servant." Irma looked Credence up and down with a smile and said, "You were a beautiful baby then, and now you're a handsome young man. I've always missed you."

Credence's heart fluttered, and the wand in his pocket glowed faintly.

"Why... don't they want me anymore?"

As she asked this question, Nagini sensed Credence's uneasy heart and squeezed his hand tightly.

"Why is your name on the adoption papers?"

There are too many questions. Credence wants to know why he was abandoned.

What did I do wrong to be abandoned by my family?

Nagini sensed danger and became uneasy.

As a blood-cursed orc, while losing things, she also gained a different sense of danger than ordinary people.

A hunter is quietly watching the prey in the field.

Credence and Irma were unaware.

Irma said, "I gave you to Mrs. Barebone because she should be able to take care of you."

Credence wanted to ask more.

But fate didn't let him speak.

A person emerged from the black wall.

Grimson, a hunter employed by the British Ministry of Magic.

He didn't hesitate, and green light shot out from his wand, tearing the sheets and clothes into pieces.

There was the sound of bodies falling, Credence vanished, and Nagini screamed.

Grimsson thought he had victory.

But when he looked up, he saw thick black smoke swirling on the ceiling.

It was Irma, the servant, who fell.

Credence was filled with rage, and his avatar swooped down silently.

Grimson had the capital to be hated, and his armor spell turned into a hemisphere to cover himself.

Even Mo Moran's intensive attacks like bullets could not break it.

Credence broke through the attic directly, and when he was about to attack Grimson, he saw Grimson smile, and Apparation disappeared.

Transforming from the Obscurus back to his original form, Credence looked at the body sadly.

He took out the glowing magic wand from his pocket, and the grief in his heart attacked his sensitive and fragile heart.

Nagini slowly hugged him.

...

Grimson, who had completed his task, was waiting in a dark alley.

Grindelwald appeared before him.

The decision made by the British Ministry of Magic, which they thought was smart, was actually extremely stupid.

Grimsson has long been Grindelwald's man.

For the greater good.

...

Feeling depressed and sad, Credence and Nagini returned to the safe house.

John raised his hand without looking back, and the wand from Credence's pocket flew into his hand.

"What happened to you?" John brewed a new pot of potion.

The wand tapped lightly, and the magic inside made the crucible boil.

"Family? Or enemies?" John asked casually.

Credence said dejectedly, "I almost knew the truth."

John did not comment on this.

Credence curled up in the corner like a child who had found an adult, telling about what happened today.

Nagini comforted him.

...

Chapter 552 Hello, Hogwarts

John leaned over the table and glanced at Credence.

Seeing him crying, John sighed.

"Credence."

Credence slowly looked up.

"Are you pursuing your family or the truth?"

Family or truth?

Credence couldn't explain it either. What happened today was only one step away from the truth.

"If your family could accept you back in as a condition for leaving Nagini," John walked over and looked Credence in the eye, "would you accept it?"

"No, it won't be like that..."

John said calmly: "Blood Curse Orcs, listen to this name, they don't even want to call her a witch."

The blood-cursed orcs were taken to the circus as exhibits along with those magical animals.

Credence couldn't say it because he knew clearly over the past few months that what John said was the truth.

"Family and Nagini..." Credence looked up at Nagini, seeing that worried face, he fell into a decision.

John didn't rush it. He wanted to see if this was worthy of sympathy or help.

Originally, he had a trading relationship with Credence, and he could have completed his transaction and left.

But not now, John glanced at Nagini who was looking at Credence wholeheartedly.

John knew how much suffering Nagini would suffer in the future.

He will not let his friends have any regrets.

But the premise is that Credence is someone worth saving.

You could say Slytherins are selfish and lack the self-sacrificing spirit of Gryffindors.

But if you have a friend, you definitely want him to be a Slytherin.

Because of their selfishness and narrow-mindedness, they can only help those they care about.

John could never be a saint in his life, he had all the qualities a Slytherin should have.

If one day his friend becomes an Obscure, he won't lock him up for fear of hurting others.

Instead, try every possible means to rescue friends.

He waited quietly for Credence's answer.

I thought I would have to wait a long time, but to my surprise, after Credence looked away, he said without hesitation, "I choose Nagini."

"You're right, but I don't want to give up on finding my family either."

Credence stopped curling up and slowly stood up.

"My family has become my obsession. I want to know why they abandoned me. I just need an answer."

He spoke with such force that even Nagini became unusually shy.

John smiled and handed the wand to Credence.

"In that case, from now on, every drop of your magic power belongs to me."

Credence took it confusedly, not understanding why.

But John didn't give him any explanation and just told him to do it.

John discovered that Credence's magic power was being released a little slowly, so he simply used mental magic to speed him up.

This caused Credence to become depressed overnight.

Nagini was heartbroken, but John was not.

He placed the wand, which was glowing again, into the crucible and poured his magic power into it, causing it to boil rapidly.

Finally, the liquid in the crucible solidified, leaving only a drop of colorless liquid in the crystal.

"Reducto"

The solid cracked and exploded, leaving only a drop of colorless liquid floating in the air.
