I Was Spotted By Grindelwald and Went To Hogwarts

In the deepest corner of the prison, a transparent cloak was blown up by the wind, revealing the condition underneath.

Invisibility cloak... Sean's pupils narrowed and he raised his wand.

"The invisibility cloak is coming." He pointed at the invisibility cloak on the ground.

However, no response.

There is only one invisibility cloak that can counter the incoming curse, and that is the one inherited from the Potter family and one of the Three Hallows of Death.

And Sean finally confirmed the fact that Harry's invisibility cloak had probably been swapped a long time ago, and the incident that James had mentioned about the burglars at the Potter's house was probably because someone had changed the invisibility cloak.

But, why is the Invisibility Cloak in the basement of Nurmengard?

Sean held up his wand and checked it carefully to make sure there was no danger before walking over and picking up the invisibility cloak on the ground.

Feeling the feel in his hands, Sean silently compared his own invisibility cloak in his mind.

The materials are somewhat similar, but this one is lighter and silkier.

As soon as the invisibility cloak was picked up, he saw the ground that had been covered just now.

"This is……"

On the ground just covered by the invisibility cloak, densely packed ancient runes were carved.

These obscure ancient words were carved directly on the ground, and there was some gold and red mixed powder in the indentations on the stone slab.

Judging from these traces alone, this magical imprint composed of ancient runes has lasted for a very long time.

Magic based on runes can be broadly divided into two types. One is ancient magic. Wizards use runes to communicate the magic in their bodies, and then use the combination and connection rules of ancient runes to release magic. Curse, this is also the current direction of Sean's study.

The other is that the wizard uses gold powder, silver powder and other magical materials to directly outline the runic symbols, and then uses the magic combination to activate these magical text symbols, so as to exert a continuous magical effect. Dumbledore once demonstrated Experience such profound magic.

This kind of magical imprint carved on the ground belongs to the second type, but it is more difficult - this almost turns the carrier used for seal carving into a powerful magic prop, a piece of magic that can continue to exert effects. Array diagram.

Sean's knowledge of ancient runes was far from enough, but he could still discern the meanings represented by some symbols.

"This... seems to be a whole made up of multiple magic script brands..." Sean frowned and muttered in a low voice.

The magic imprint in front of me is very complex. The wizard who carved the symbols must have had a very deep study of ancient runes.

And Sean could only barely make out the meaning of the combination of several magic words. One of them should be the magic word brand of life-sustaining-this kind of brand can maintain the vitality of people in the body, and they can survive even if they don't eat. Of course, it won't feel good.

There is also a magic script brand for deep hypnosis. The hypnotic effect of this thing is exaggerated - but if you want to maintain the effect of the magic script brand all the time, you need a lot of magic power, so now wizards prefer to be in a coma at once. curse.

This is only the effect that Sean can determine. There are at least fifteen kinds of magic combined on the entire ground covered by the invisibility cloak, and all of them are very advanced. Sean can only look at it. They all looked confused.

But... Sean frowned tightly.

The key points of the magic array have been destroyed, otherwise Sean would be affected if he stepped into it.

It seems that most of the functions of this profound magic array lie in "restrictions", just like...

It's like someone is locked up here...

This guess made Sean break into a cold sweat.

The invisibility cloak and the extremely profound rune diagram imprisoned a person in the deepest prison underground in Nurmengard...

And that person has obviously broken free now.

Who is this man and why does Grindelwald keep him here...

etc……

Sean noticed something was wrong.

The reason why he found this place was because of Dumbledore's prompt. To be precise, it was the prompt from the fifth person in 1899. Of course, Sean had already assumed that person was Dumbledore.

Although Grindelwald reminded himself to think carefully about what Dumbledore said, this person was obviously imprisoned in Nurmengard - logically speaking, Grindelwald certainly knew who was imprisoned in the school he established. .

However, Grindelwald reminded himself to look for Dumbledore, and then Sean found this place.

This is unreasonable. If Grindelwald wanted Sean to know, there was no need to bother.

That is to say, Grindelwald has no idea who is being held here. No, he may not even know who is being held here. He just thought there was a deep meaning in what Dumbledore said, so he reminded Sean.

Sean stood up slowly, still holding the real invisibility cloak in his hand, and looked at the ancient runes on the ground with complicated eyes.

Dumbledore was reminding himself that this man who was no longer bound was the key to the whole mystery...

Sean took a deep breath, took out a pen and paper, and spent a while copying the entire rune symbol.

With one last look, he put away his invisibility cloak and walked out.

Before leaving, he hesitated for a while, and finally chose to repair the exploded iron door. The invisibility cloak has been taken away by him, and it is better to hide the magic circle diagram inside, so as to prevent students wandering around in the middle of the night from discovering the strange things here.

It was already evening when he returned to Hogwarts, and Sean had been busy checking his memory. He hadn't eaten anything since noon.

However, he really has no appetite for eating.

Pulling several soft cushions together, Sean lay down and looked at the dark ceiling, thinking about the news he got today.

There are a few key points that Sean still hasn’t learned the truth about.

Dumbledore must have returned to 1899 through the time turner, but Sean believed that he was definitely not just trying to remind himself that he should have other things to do, otherwise, it would not have caused such a serious incident. Time travel accident.

Another point that concerns Sean very much is the time travel accident that Newt mentioned that happened in 1899.

This makes Sean a little confused, because the time travel accident technically happened in the "now"-that is, in 1899, someone also conducted a very long-distance time travel, and that What is the purpose of man?

In addition... Sean touched the invisibility cloak in his hand. This Deathly Hallows was not much different from an ordinary invisibility cloak.

Why trade the invisibility cloak?

If you just want to cover up the existence of the person in the underground prison, an ordinary invisibility cloak should be able to do the same. Of course, this may take into account the validity period of ordinary invisibility cloaks.

However, if it was Dumbledore who did it, Sean believed that the old man had a lot of ways to completely cover up that person's existence. It doesn't make sense to deliberately swap the Potter family's invisibility cloak for this purpose.

Moreover, Grindelwald obviously does not know this person...

Thinking of Grindelwald's recent state, Sean always felt that something was wrong.

Grindelwald obviously didn’t know what kind of cooperative relationship Dumbledore had reached with the [Returners], nor did he know Dumbledore’s true purpose.

Moreover, he seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with Dumbledore... However, Grindelwald was able to remind Sean to find Dumbledore's clues, as if he had already known it.

Sean didn't pay too much attention before, because Grindelwald was an elusive person.

However, after today's trip, Sean instinctively felt that something was wrong. Grindelwald's thoughts often appeared...contradictory?

Although he couldn't put it into words, when Sean thought about it now, he always felt that Grindelwald seemed a little weird in some details...

No... Sean suddenly frowned.

He almost forgot that Grindelwald was a prophet!

Could it be understood that Grindelwald does not know the truth of this whole mystery, but he can see pictures of the future through the prophet, so his actions and words will give Sean a slightly contradictory feeling.

He has seen the future, so even though he is dissatisfied with Dumbledore, he will still find ways to cooperate with his actions.

So back to the core question, why did Dumbledore let himself know that a person was once imprisoned underground in Nurmengard?

Or perhaps, this is just part of the whole mystery, and Dumbledore is restricted by the unbreakable oath, so he can only reveal it to himself bit by bit, allowing himself to combine and understand it, and finally reveal the truth of the whole thing.

Sean lowered his head and fumbled for a while, then took out a letter and a stone.

This is what Sean sent back to Dumbledore after he received the letter in Godric's Hollow and told it to him.

There may also be secrets hidden in it...

Sean picked up the letter and read it carefully.

Finally he returned his attention to the beginning of the letter.

"Dear Sean:

"I already understand what you said. I didn't reply to you in time because I needed to verify a certain conjecture, and the owl message is not as safe as I thought.

"Based on your description, I can probably guess what happened to poor old Bathilda. It was probably a powerful forgetting spell, and the caster may have designed a switch to awaken the memory. Regarding switches, I have several Guesses, one is time, the effect of the spell is not permanent. Old Bathilda was also an outstanding wizard when she was young. There are not many people who can cast this kind of spell and last for so many years. The second guess , the switch is you, the person who left the letter hopes you can see all this——"

Verify the conjecture…Verify the conjecture…

Now it seems that the so-called person who left the letter is Dumbledore himself!

He went back to the past during his previous long-distance time travel, and then tampered with this letter to remind himself...

But why use such troublesome method? Or is it that the binding force of the Unbreakable Vow is beyond Sean's imagination, and Dumbledore can only remind himself in this roundabout way?

Judging from the available information alone, Dumbledore went back in time, did certain things, tampered with the letter, and even removed the invisibility cloak covering the Potter family...

However, Sean always felt that something was wrong.

The timing of these things doesn't seem to match?

Among other things, the letter was originally sent by Grindelwald to Dumbledore, but was later tampered with by Dumbledore who traveled back in time.

However, the memory in the letter is still about the time when the two had just met. After Ariana's accident, the two broke up, and it should have been a long time before Grindelwald sent the letter.

More importantly, if Dumbledore slipped the Invisibility Cloak and imprisoned someone in the underground prison of Nurmengard, the timing would be even more wrong.

Grindelwald founded Nurmengard many years after 1899.

Dumbledore returned to such a long time in the past, and he actually stayed there for more than ten years or even longer?

Although Sean didn't know much about time travel, he also knew that if a wizard traveled through nearly a hundred years and stayed there for more than ten years, the world would have been greatly changed.

This situation can lead to extremely serious time accidents!

In reality, apart from a few time errors, there were no other more serious accidents.

This is similar to the situation hundreds of years ago, when the silent person Heloise Mintab returned five centuries ago. You know, the silent person only stayed in the past for five days.

Sean believed that Dumbledore was more powerful, so he would not lose his life directly like the silent man, but if it had been more than ten years or even longer, the world would definitely not be so "peaceful" now.

If you think so, the timing is wrong... Sean frowned deeply.

He subconsciously held the dark red gem in his hand, which was a replica of the Philosopher's Stone given to him by Dumbledore at the time. It could help Sean practice transfiguration because this Philosopher's Stone had the effect of solidifying magic power.

Since getting it, Sean has indeed used it many times and received some help.

After playing with it for a while, he lowered his head and carefully looked at the imitation in his hand. However, no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find anything special.

It seemed that Dumbledore didn't leave a message on it, so Sean put the replica back with some disappointment.

The dark red gemstone made a crisp collision sound. Sean looked down and found that he had accidentally bumped into a snow globe.

This thing was obtained from the Aiken family. It can detect the age of the person closest to it, and how many snowflakes fall down based on how old it is.

However, it can only be played as a gadget... Sean took the landscape ball into his hand and threw it up and down out of boredom.

Just as he was worrying about this mystery, the door of the disappearing cabinet suddenly opened.

"Teacher..." Sean was surprised to see Grindelwald walking out.

The other party looked relaxed and said casually: "Why, you don't welcome me?"

"That's not... just right. I have something to discuss with you."

"Huh? It seems I came at the right time. What, solved Albus's riddle?"

As Grindelwald spoke, he walked over and sat down next to Sean.

"It's not untied... By the way, do you know who is locked up in your underground prison?" Sean asked impatiently.

Grindelwald frowned when he heard this: "Cutting people down? This is inconsistent with the future I see... and..."

Sean had no intention of listening to what Grindelwald was saying at the moment.

This is... this is...

The other party was sitting next to the landscape ball, and inside the transparent ball, snowflakes were falling rapidly!

Ten pieces, twenty pieces, thirty pieces... one hundred and fifty pieces, one hundred and sixty pieces...

Sean's chest heaved violently!
