Hogwarts Kryptonian

"You came?"

"You know me?"

"Of course. Take a seat."

"Now that you know me, you should have guessed what I'm here for. Let's not waste time."

"You are even more impatient than I was back then."

"I really didn't expect that the world-famous Grindelwald would be like this now."

Voldemort looked at the old man with a look of contempt on his face.

The two looked at each other.

Lu Yun, who was following behind, felt happy for a moment.

In the highest tower of the castle, opposite the two of them, the old man with bright white hair sat in an old armchair. He looked around at Voldemort, and then he also glanced at Lu Yunkai who was following him, and said no more.

His figure looked a little rickety and lethargic, just like an ordinary Muggle.

However, Lu Yunkai, who came here with Voldemort, knew that he was definitely not an ordinary old man.

Along the way, Lu Yunkai watched Voldemort casually break several baskets of various sealing and imprisonment spells. The counterattack of two of the spells even made him a little embarrassed when he was following Voldemort.

The protection of this castle is probably no worse than Hogwarts.

How could the old man living in such a castle be an ordinary Muggle old man?

But Lu Yunkai never dared to think that this old man was actually the famous Grindelwald! !

That man's origins and achievements are not mentioned in almost all magic history books, but he is the most powerful footnote for Dumbledore to be called the greatest magician of our time.

And in an instant, Lu Yunkai also knew where he was now.

The famous Nurmengard.

Damn it, when I first entered the castle, why didn't I take a look at the top of the arch? Isn't that where the famous phrase "for the greater good" should be engraved?

"Everyone will age. Especially when you have been alone for many years, you will age faster." Grindelwald smiled and answered Voldemort, "But I am very strange, how did you get in? As far as I know, in There are at least six or seven wizards patrolling outside this castle every day, and I didn’t hear any fighting.”

"They are all busy today. And... you are not worthy of their surveillance, right?" Voldemort said sarcastically.

"That's right." Grindelwald nodded.

"Originally, I just brought a child to meet you today and let him meet the famous Grindelwald." Voldemort glanced at Lu Yunkai who was following him, and then continued to look at Grindelwald, "But I have to do it in the morning I got an unexpected surprise..."

"You may not be happy, right?" Grindelwald glanced at Voldemort with a smile, and then finally stared at Lu Yunkai, "I heard that you advocate the transformation of wizards into pure blood. Why is there an Easterner following you?"

"His bloodline is not lowly at all. It is even possible that his bloodline is nobler than any of us." Voldemort smiled and shook his head, then looked at Lu Yunkai, "That legendary ring of yours What? Let the famous Grindelwald take a look."

The word famous is very strong.

Lu Yunkai narrowed his eyes, then turned his hand and took out the ring.

A real ring rented from the system.

Grindelwald's eyes fell on the ring in Lu Yunkai's hand, and he was stunned.

A long time.

"...Is it really true??" Grindelwald's voice wavered a little.

"It's interesting, isn't it? I believe you have also heard of that legend." Voldemort nodded, "So, I brought him here to meet you... Moreover, I thought he would be very popular with you... Well, I didn’t expect you to become like this, it’s really disappointing.”

"If you just bring him to see me, then you can leave." Grindelwald stared at Lu Yunkai without moving his eyes, but said to Voldemort, "Or, you can just kill me and leave. "

"You want me to kill you?"

"For me now, death is also a kind of relief." Grindelwald smiled, "I know what you want, and in fact you should have guessed it, that thing can't still be in my hand now. , isn’t it?”

"So, where is it?"

"Aren't you asking knowingly?" Grindelwald laughed, "Of course it's in the hands of that person! Albus Dumbledore. Go find him!! I hope you can successfully get it from him Grab it."

"So, you were holding the Elder Wand, but you still lost to Dumbledore??" Lu Yunkai couldn't help but interjected a sentence beside him.

"Of course there are other reasons. But I am convinced that I lost." Grindelwald put away his smile and answered Lu Yunkai seriously.

"Lu Yunkai, just stay and talk to him! I hope he can help you... Well, but I don't think this hope is great. He has disappointed me so much."

After hearing the answer from Grindelwald, Voldemort's expression was obviously gloomy, but he still said something to Lu Yunkai, and then he apparated and left the room.

Only Lu Yunkai and the old man were left in the house.

The old man looked at Lu Yunkai and the ring in his hand. No words were spoken for a long time.

Lu Yunkai, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed, neither leaving nor staying. I didn’t know what to say, and it felt particularly awkward to stay quiet.

How to do it?

Finally, it was Grindelwald who broke the silence.

"Young man, do you know what magic is?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was always lying. Lu Yunkai complained silently in his heart.

But I have to say that this topic is indeed very attractive.

If Malfoy or Blaise had used these words to talk to Lu Yunkai, Lu Yunkai would have just rolled his eyes and turned away.

But now, he doesn't.

Because in front of him was the famous Grindelwald.

The most dazzling presence in Dumbledore's profile.

"Have you ever wondered why wizards can use magic? Where does our power come from? Why are most wizards unable to use any magic without a wand?" Grindelwald continued to ask.

"...I was curious when I was in first grade." Lu Yunkai muttered, "I was also curious about why the wand glowed!"

"Yeah. But have you noticed that most of your friends take this for granted, and no one is curious about why?" Grindelwald's eyes flashed with appreciation, and then he continued.

"... Not only my friends, but even I can't find anyone in the book who studies why the wand glows when magic is used." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"That's because of fear." Grindelwald sighed softly. "Almost everyone who is interested in studying this issue will see fear and despair in the end."

"...What do you mean? Are you trying to persuade me not to learn magic?" Lu Yunkai was speechless.

"Don't learn? No! Of course not! Not only must you learn, but you must also study seriously to become the most outstanding wizard." Grindelwald shook his head, "It's just... If you don't know what magic is now, you'd better not learn it later. Don’t ask. This is my advice to you.”

"Why are you doing this?" Lu Yun said happily, "You know the more you persuade me not to pursue the case, the more curious I will be. Aren't you encouraging me to do research in disguise? Then you might as well tell me the answer directly. !”

"I can give you an answer, and even the guy who brought you here can also give you an answer... Oh, by the way, depending on your age, maybe you are still a student of Hogwarts? Then your principal , and I can give you an answer." Grindelwald shook his head seriously, "Our answers may be similar, but knowing that answer is not a very happy thing, especially for you. Not a good thing."

"...Can we have a straight talk?" Lu Yunkai was stunned by the mist of Yunshan, "What on earth do you want to say to me?"

"I just don't want you to follow the same path as me and the person who just brought you here. The path we took is not necessary." Grindelwald shook his head, "Maybe magic shouldn't exist in the first place. In this world, maybe they should have died out thousands of years ago. Wizards are not special people favored by God. We just have some responsibilities that no longer exist.”

"...Still don't understand." Lu Yunkai shook his head.

"One day in the future, you will understand what I am talking about." Grindelwald glanced at the ring in Lu Yunkai's hand, "After you understand the meaning of the symbols on this ring."

Quiet.

Lu Yunkai and Grindelwald both looked at the ordinary, nothing special ring.

After a while, Lu Yunkai took a deep breath.

He took out his wand from his sleeve and cast seven or eight secrecy spells on the room in succession.

Grindelwald, who was sitting on the chair, was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became strange.

"You already know what this symbol means?"

There was a little doubt in Grindelwald's voice.

Lu Yunkai even heard a little bit of... excitement? ?

"Are you talking about summoning the devil?" Lu Yunkai tried his best to calm down his tone.

Quiet.

"Have you already summoned it??"

"...Yeah." Lu Yunkai nodded.

"You are actually still alive? It seems... you are really a descendant of the legendary man!" Grindelwald's expression became even weirder.

And Lu Yunkai's expression suddenly became strange.

Still alive? ?

Why did Grindelwald know that summoning the devil might cost him his life? Could it be that his... friend was summoned by someone?

"Maybe." Lu Yunkai replied noncommittally.

"Then since you have summoned the demon gods, you should already know what magic is about, right?" Grindelwald sorted out his mood, and then said, "Magic is the knowledge imparted to us by these demon gods. Our responsibility as wizards."

"Responsibility? What responsibility?...So, the legend of giants, that they were once gods of wizards, is true??"

An idea flashed in Lu Yunkai's mind, and a vague story connected together.

It can only be related to giants! ! Lu Yunkai learned this summoning magic circle from the giant, and he still remembered the legend.

responsibility? What responsibility? Resistance to the Titans! !

Resist the so-called uncursed giants who are said to have the power to summon wind and thunder!

"Even the stupidest giants know that such a legend is of no benefit to them. But it still exists, what do you think?" Grindelwald looked around Lu Yunkai again with appreciative eyes.

"So, what did you do back then?" Lu Yunkai suddenly became curious about Grindelwald.

"Why, they have completely wiped out what I did?"

"I haven't seen detailed instructions in any book." Lu Yunkai shook his head, "What exactly did you do?"

"I led the wizards to oppose the International Statute of Secrecy." Grindelwald said simply: "That law makes us like rats surrendering to the sewer! That law requires us to hide our true selves! That law requires those under its jurisdiction Huddled in fear, lest we be exposed! Who do you think this law is protecting? Or the Muggles?"

Lu Yunkai was stunned.

I have to say that Grindelwald's words... are very inflammatory no matter how you listen to them.

and……

"Do you think that since the wizard is the representative of the resistance against the giants, it is natural for him to lead the future of the entire human race?" Lu Yunkai also understood Grindelwald's logic.

"With great power comes great responsibility." Grindelwald nodded, "But I failed. I admit that in order to achieve this goal, I did do things a bit...over the top. Even later, I gradually forgot my original intention, Only obsessed with fighting the old forces who support the International Secrecy Act... and Albus."

"But you never admit that your ideas are wrong?" Lu Yunkai understood Grindelwald's words.

"Of course." Grindelwald smiled, "Since you know that magic is related to giants, you should naturally understand how many wizards and how much price they have paid to force those big men to where they are now. Why should we hide? Those Muggles who want to kill us all because of fear? Without us, they might still be moving stones to build tombs for giants!"

"..."

"The boy who brought you here today learned some lessons from my failure, so he did some things that I didn't even bother to do." Grindelwald sighed softly, "I looked down on him at first. , but today he actually brought you to see me, which made me understand that it’s not that he has a narrow vision, but that he is more patient than me. What I thought one person, or a generation of wizards, could accomplish, he thought would take many years. , it may even take many generations of wizards to complete..."

"Pure-blood wizards, and then use the natural alliance between pure-blood wizards to achieve your goal of overturning the International Secrecy Act?" Lu Yunkai also understood why Voldemort wanted to come with him today.

But wait! ! How do you make sense with this logic...Have you become Voldemort's successor? ?

There's something wrong! ?

One more thing, in the original work, Grindelwald did not say that the Elder Wand was in Dumbledore's hands until his death, because Dumbledore was already dead at that time. He wanted to protect Dumbledore's tomb, and he also died because of Dumbledore. That's why he wanted to die and mocked Voldemort. Because of the change in the timeline here, Dumbledore is still alive and well, so Grindelwald has no need to hide it. Anyway, he feels that Voldemort can't fuck his old lover.
