Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

Grindelwald didn't want to talk to him, so he chose to ignore Dudley. He first spoke to other people, and finally disappeared in front of everyone without even looking at him.

This is an old wizard with a bad temper.

Ron, Neville, Draco and other children who were born in the wizarding world and grew up listening to the stories of Grindelwald sighed in their hearts at the same time.

"As expected of Brother D."

Hermione and Harry thought to themselves.

'Our Dudley is the best.'

'My brother D is invincible.'

As it was still early, after deciding on a room, they began to wander around the castle.

Nurmengard is undoubtedly much worse than Hogwarts. The latter was a fortress-like building built to protect students from the invasion of Muggles at that time. The four giants spent huge amounts of magical materials, which almost emptied their families' fortunes. Coupled with the accumulation of countless wizards over thousands of years, the accommodation conditions of Hogwarts are top-notch in any school in the world. Even the Slytherins living in the converted underground cells would not feel damp. The former is just a gathering base. Although there are definitely some converted places, it can never be compared with Hogwarts.

The dim light, gloomy environment and heavy humidity are topics that cannot be avoided. It is far inferior to the castle that Dudley renovated himself.

The spotless and majestic European medieval castles in animations, novels, and film and television works?

Sorry, that's bullshit.

Without any magic, this is the best place for the green and slippery moss, the long tails that secretly dig holes, the small black beetles with two ponytails that crawl around and can fly, and the eight long legs and eight big eyes that hide in the dark and wait for an opportunity to survive.

The magical world is mostly a paradise for vixens and goblins. Even though Dudley caught thousands of vixens at the Potter mansion, he didn't want to have too much contact with these evil little creatures.

So Dudley and his friends built their own tent inside the room.

It is the big tent that appears in the Quidditch Goblet of Fire. It looks less than a few square meters on the outside, but is actually a three-story villa inside.

The tent is fully equipped with facilities.

This is all thanks to Dudley, who likes to hoard ingredients in his pocket, even food, which he would put in multiple portions at once.

"Brother D, Brother D, let me see your pocket."

This sentence has become Harry's catchphrase recently.

After having a delicious hot meal, several people lay contentedly in the living room inside the tent.

"Burp" Ron patted his belly and burped contentedly. He had just eaten six large chicken legs.

Grindelwald, who was originally a little worried that they wouldn't have enough food or would not be able to adapt to the living conditions, left with a gloomy face after seeing the bright lights and the aroma of food wafting out of the tent.

'They are ignorant and don't know how to prepare one for their professor.'

The next day, before eight o'clock, Grindelwald arrived outside the tent early. He was waiting for the group of little wizards to be late.

He believed that any little wizard would relax and sleep in during the holidays.

However, he did not wait for Dudley and the others to come out of the tent, but waited for Dudley and the others to walk in from the door covered in sweat.

"professor?"

Harry asked confused.

"Where have you been?"

"Morning exercise, something we do every day." The honest boy Neville explained.

Grindelwald said nothing, but nodded expressionlessly and disappeared into the room.

At eight o'clock, Grindelwald appeared on time in the castle hall.

He was still wearing the same black robe and still had a pair of sharp eyes (his heterochromia had been restored). He was an energetic and imposing little old man.

“My teaching style may be different from what you know as professors.”

Grindelwald did not choose to find a bench, but sat on the stairs leading to the second floor, with his hands arched in front of his mouth.

“I focus on actual combat”

"I won't teach you anything deliberately. You have to experience all the knowledge in actual combat."

"Let me be frank with you. I will not let you off just because of who you are. If any of you cannot keep up with my teaching progress."

"I will personally throw you out of the castle."

Practical classes are courses that the discipline group members are very familiar with. When they first heard the news, they did not take it seriously.

They soon discovered they were wrong.

Even with the duels in the Duelist Club, the occasional sparring during daily morning exercises, and the practical training from many professors such as Moody, they almost couldn't keep up with Grindelwald's pace.

He was stricter than any professor Harry had ever known.

Even the real or fake Moody, the professor who seemed very harsh and strict to outsiders, was as gentle as a sheep in front of him.

Even if it was a simple human transformation spell (turning the other person into a sheep or a rabbit), he would let the other person experience it over and over again until they learned it.

Also more powerful than any known professor.

Harry, who was able to defeat Barty Crouch Jr. alone, was like a child who had just learned to walk and was walking unsteadily in front of him.

More knowledgeable than any other professor I have ever known.

He has a very wide range of knowledge, and knows almost everything. He has done in-depth research even on the boring ancient runes. Dudley believes that his level is much higher than that of Bathsheda Babbling, the ancient rune professor at Hogwarts, because in terms of potions alone, his level is not inferior to that of Snape, the master of potions.

Chapter 344: Magic is not black or white

Not only that, he also possesses many special abilities. For example, if wizards want to disguise themselves as someone else, most people will choose Polyjuice Potion, but a very small number of Disguisemaggs can change their appearance at will (the body shape cannot be changed).

Grindelwald is not a Disguisemagus, but he can change his appearance and body shape at will, and the effect is better than using Polyjuice Potion.

He is knowledgeable, capable, and serious in teaching. He is simply a perfect teacher.

The more you get to know him, the more you can feel that he is outstanding and a very charming character.

One can imagine how high-spirited and outstanding he was when he was young decades ago. No wonder he has so many followers.

His views are different from those of most mainstream wizards in the wizarding world.

"There is no black or white in magic. Black magic and white magic are the same."

"It's the same with wizards. What matters is the human heart."

It is generally believed in the wizarding world that black magic is a type of magic that can affect one's own mind and is filled with a lot of negative emotions. The more it is used and the more in-depth research is done, the more it will affect people's spirit, which is mental pollution.

This is why dark wizards are all bad guys.

Because they are under the influence of black magic.

However, Grindelwald does not think so. He believes that magic has no ability to change people's hearts. No matter what magic you learn or use, you are still the same you, and this will not change at all. However, magic will magnify people's desires.

The former puts the blame on black magic, saying that it is because of black magic that wizards become bad, in other words, it is a case of passing the buck. Grindelwald, on the other hand, puts the blame on people, saying that wizards do not become bad because they learn black magic, but that they are bad in themselves, and the powerful black magic only expands their desires and exposes their true nature.

Dudley supports Grindelwald's views

The reason is simple, he knows black magic.

Dumbledore also knows the Dark Arts, and his attainments in the Dark Arts are not much worse than that of the Dark Lord. Moody also knows the Dark Arts, and each of the three Unforgivable Curses is as powerful as that of an ordinary Death Eater.

If Dumbledore and Moody are also bad guys, there will be no good people in the entire wizarding world.

Not only them, but all the powerful wizards know black magic to some extent.

As for the reason, black magic is powerful and easy to use.

The most crucial point is that the definition of dark magic is formulated by the Ministry of Magic. In other words, what they think is dark magic is what it is.

Maybe one day, when you become the Minister of Magic, you will decide that the Killing Curse is not dark magic and you can forcibly kick it out of the category of dark magic.

Before they knew it, two weeks had passed and no one had been eliminated. Grindelwald also gradually got along well with the other young wizards. Just as Dumbledore had said before he came, he had not appeared since the first day and no one knew where he was, including Grindelwald, the owner of the castle.

That day, Grindelwald called Harry and Neville out alone.

During this period of study, the two of them made the greatest progress.

Grindelwald first looked at Neville: "There is not much I can teach you. I am not very deep in herbology."

Just as Grindelwald said, he did not conduct in-depth research on magical animals and plants. On the one hand, he felt that it was meaningless, and on the other hand, his energy was limited.

As he said this, he took out a small cloth bag and handed it to Neville, and said meaningfully.

"Here are the seeds of the magic pumpkin. I hope they can bring you some inspiration."

“Dreams are only meaningful if you work hard to realize them.”

Even if his research was not in-depth, Grindelwald had surpassed more than 95 percent of the wizards in the wizarding world.

Neville thanked him repeatedly with joy and put the seeds away as if they were treasures.

Grindelwald nodded and looked at Harry, with admiration unconsciously revealed in his eyes.

He is also good at black magic and has a special liking for Li Huo. Looking at him is like seeing my former self.

Well, she is a little less charming than me.

"Your Fierce Fire Curse has already reached the critical threshold, but it still needs further improvement in plasticity, for example..."

Grindelwald stretched out a finger, and a small blue flame bloomed at his fingertips, instantly attracting Harry's full attention.

He stared at the small flame and said uncertainly.

"Li Huo?!"

For Harry, who was good at using the Fiendfyre spell, he could feel that the Fiendfyre contained in this small flame had even more terrifying energy than his Fiendfyre ball.

"Yes."

Grindelwald spread out his five fingers, and a blue flame appeared on each of his five fingers.

With a slight shake, five flames flew up from his fingers, floating up and down in the air. When he slightly bent his fingers, the flames floated back to his fingertips.

The blue Fiendfyre has a much higher temperature than the ordinary Fiendfyre, but in Grindelwald's hands it is like a well-behaved cat.

"Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Grindelwald knew that he might spend the rest of his life in this castle, but he also wanted to pass on his legacy.

I never encountered it before, let alone had the opportunity, but now. Isn’t there a ready-made one?

Talent is very important to wizards.

For example, Ron can't cast Fiendfyre like Harry. In Dudley's words, he is not compatible with the Fiendfyre spell. This is actually normal. Everyone is not mass-produced and has their own areas of expertise or weaknesses.

"Can we bring others along?"

Harry asked.

“I will only teach one person.”

Grindelwald said calmly that he would not teach everyone. If he didn't meet the right person, he would not teach it to others even if it was a lost secret.

After a moment of silence, Harry said, "Then you should teach Brother D. His Fiery Curse is better than mine."

Grindelwald paused for a moment after hearing this. He certainly knew who Brother D Harry was referring to.

How to describe that guy?

He is gifted, knowledgeable, has his own unique insights on everything, has a leadership quality, and is the absolute backbone of this group of young wizards.

In fact, many times the two have similar views on things.

Very similar to me. To be more precise, they looked very similar to me when I was young.

But perhaps it was because of the attraction between the same and the same, Grindelwald didn't like this younger version of himself from the first moment he saw Dudley, especially when he appeared here.

This led to the relationship between the two being ordinary.

However, Grindelwald still acknowledged Dudley's strong performance in the practical courses.

After thinking for a while, Grindelwald continued, "Then you two can come together."

"Tonight at eleven o'clock on the top floor of the castle tower. Don't be late."

This is clearly an act of doing something separate from the original.
