Chapter 88 News Of Thunderbird, Reunion In Nurmengard
Seeing Jerry holding the golden galleons and not letting go, Wayne hesitated.
Xiu Xiu is indeed cute, but he is also very noisy and not as sensible as King Phoenix and the unicorns.
If you really adopt one, you will have to worry about it later.
He is usually a low-key person, especially when he does bad things.
Not suitable for keeping Nifflers as pets.
But the name of the little guy is destined to him, and his naive appearance also highlights his cuteness.
Wayne pondered for a moment and said to Newt: "Can I give Jerry to a friend? She has no pets and is more careful than me."
Girl?" Tina was keenly aware of the 'she' in the title, and her smile became a little narrower.
"That's right." Wayne was a little embarrassed: "A Ravenclaw girl can definitely take good care of Jerry.
He was going to give Xiu Xiu to Qiu.
Hermione prefers cats, so it would be inappropriate to give her a Niffler. On the contrary, Qiu once said that she thought Niffler was cute.
If Qiu is too troublesome and doesn't want to raise her, then he can stay with her.
Tina couldn't help but smile.
"I agreed on Newt's behalf. Remember to ask the girl to put the jewelry away. If you can't find it, go dig Jerry's belly."
Newt didn't have any objections. He believed in Wayne, so he also believed in Wayne's vision.
After a full meal, Wayne took out fifty copies of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and placed them in front of Newt.
"Senior, please help me sign the exclusions."
Newt's mouth twitched: "So many?"
"Not much." Wayne shook his head: "Fifty copies are not enough for Hufflepuff points. If Flourish and Blotts Bookstore hadn't run out of stock, I would have bought at least two hundred copies."
"By the way, where is the bookstore in New York? I can check it out tomorrow."
"Let's forget it." Newt quickly stopped the young man: "This is enough. I will revise it in two years. It's too wasteful to buy it now.
Wayne had to give up.
Sighing, Newt began to sign. Hearing that it was for other Hufflepuffs, he would write a blessing message even if he didn't know the names.
Wayne was pulled to the fireplace by Tina, chatting with a few old people.
Jacob carefully took out a wand from his pocket, it was shining brightly, and Wayne could tell at a glance that it was a wand.
"This wand was given to me by Dumbledore." Jacob held the wand and recalled the past: "He was not the principal back then, he was just the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."
"You pointed this wand at Grindelwald?" Wayne asked curiously.
"That's right." Queenie and Jacob looked at each other and smiled, "If Hicks hadn't stopped me, I would have definitely taught him a lesson.
"I believe you, honey."
Wayne only felt that his tooth hurt, it was too boring.
We are already an old married couple, but we are still so bored.
However, it can also be seen that Queenie and Jacob, the chosen Muggle, have a very good relationship.
Nearing the end of the night, Wayne stood up to say goodbye.
Tina was a little unhappy.
"Isn't it good to live at home? Where can you live with a child outside?"
Wayne reassured: "Grandma Tina, my family also owns real estate in New York, you don't have to worry.
"Besides, there are things to deal with in the No-Maj world tomorrow, so it's really inconvenient to live here.
"I'll come over right away when I'm done with everything."
After hearing what Wayne said, Tina reluctantly agreed to let him leave, but she had to stay at home on Christmas Eve and could not leave again.
Newt rubbed his sore wrists and finally signed fifty copies of Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them. There were also two specially customized copies for Hermione and Qiu.
When Wayne walked out of the door, Newt asked, "I'm going to Arizona after the holidays. Do you want to come with me?"
"Arizona..." Wayne thought for a while and asked tentatively: "Is it related to the Thunderbirds?"
"That's right."
Newt nodded and said: "Every winter is the season for thunderbirds to lay their eggs, waiting for them to hatch during summer thunderstorms."
“I went here this time to ensure the smooth production of Thunderbirds and to protect them. At this time, many poachers always come.
Newt added: "If you go, I will protect you."
"Go, of course." Wayne replied without hesitation: "As for safety, you don't have to worry about it. The potions professor at school praises me for being very talented in dueling, and I can protect myself."
Old Man Newt has a question mark face.
Since when did the Potions Master train in duels part-time?
Back to a fancy apartment in Manhattan.
One thing Wayne did was take Jerry out of his pocket.
This little guy was dishonest along the way. He stared at the silver buttons on his cuffs and pulled at them with his two short hands, trying to stuff them into his pocket.
Wayne didn't stop him, watching Xiu Xiu take a long time to take off the button and prepare to stuff it into his pocket.
Then he took action slowly and took the button back again.
Jerry hugged it tightly and refused to let him take it away, but Xiu Xiu's strength could not compare to Wayne's.
He struggled to no avail, and depressed, he put it in his pocket.
Xiu Xiu was still sulking after being lifted out of his hand, but when Wayne took out another Gold Galleons, he immediately performed a face-changing stunt, and his small black eyes were filled with the shadow of Gold Galleons.
This time Wayne didn't tease it any more, and Jerry stuffed the Galleons into his belly smoothly.
Then Wayne took out another gold galleung.
Stuffed it into the stomach again.
One, then one, then one.
The process of favoring each person is repeated, Wayne takes out one, and Jerry installs one.
After taking out several hundred galleons, Jerry looked at Wayne eagerly, and then at his bulging belly.
"Can't hold it anymore?" Wayne chuckled, took out ten gold galleons at once, and placed them on the table.
No matter how hard Jerry tried, he only managed to put in three pieces.
Wow!
Hundreds more galleons were scattered, almost drowning Xiu Xiu. Seeing so much gold, Jerry's eyes were straight, but there was really no place to put it, so he could only worry and scream.
"It's pretty easy to deal with." Wayne picked up the little guy, who was much heavier than before.
A few hundred galleons will suffice. As long as Jerry is fed well, there is no need to worry about him running out to cause trouble.
It can also be used as a wallet when you don’t have cash on you.
Wayne didn't even want to give Xiu Xiu to Qiu, he could just take care of it himself.
Even if he grows up in a few years and can hold more treasures, he can easily fill it.
Patting the little guy's head, Wayne warned: "I'm going to take a bath, please stay well."
"If you mess up the room, I will confiscate all the galleons."
December 24th.
Because of the time difference, it is still afternoon in America, but it has already entered Christmas Eve in Europe.
Austria.
Nurmengard Castle.
This is an isolated tower, located in the endless Alps, surrounded by human beings. 【
The cold wind howls among the mountains, and the lonely snow never seems to stop.
Even though it was Christmas Eve, the heat of the festival never brought any warmth here.
In the wizarding world, there are two most famous prisons.
One is the Azkaban prison located on an isolated island in the North Sea and governed by British law.
Dementors have been guarding the place for a long time, and it is said that there will never be an escaped prisoner.
In the other one, there were no terrifying monsters, only two old squibs taking turns guarding it.
There is only one prisoner in custody.
But just because of this one prisoner, Nurmengard's status is comparable to that of Azkaban, making people feared.
The first Dark Lord, Grindelwald.
Strictly speaking, this title is not accurate.
Grindelwald never called himself the Dark Lord, and he didn't even consider himself a dark wizard.
His followers also believe that they are set on the path of pursuing greater interests.
Even in the final defeat, he still held his head high.
The battle back then was not for personal selfishness, nor was it a fight for power, it was just a choice between two different paths.
Therefore, the only recognized Dark Lord in this century is Voldemort.
The space rippled, and a milky white halo emerged. Dumbledore walked out of it and came to the foot of the mountain.
He looked up at the tower.
At the top of the tower, you can see a faint light.
After standing there for half an hour, the old man finally made up his mind and took the first step.
When he came to the barrier, he pasted a piece of golden parchment on it. The blue magic barrier appeared, fused with the parchment, and then cracked a hole.
The squib guarding the door felt the movement and hurriedly ran out with a lamp. After seeing Dumbledore's actions, he was relieved and went back to the hut to drink.
Rather than saying that these squibs were the guards of Nurmengard, it was better to say that they were the nanny upstairs who was responsible for delivering meals and cleaning the room.
The reason why Aurors are not used is because Grindelwald's ability to confuse people is too strong.
When Grindelwald was imprisoned in the Magical Congress of the United States.
The Aurors responsible for guarding are rotated every two days.
In this way, he successfully instigated someone to rebel with his words, and finally escaped successfully.
In the end, just let the dumb cannon be used. Even if he was instigated, he would not be able to help him escape.
The room at the top of the tower.
An old man with a withered face was sitting in the corner. When the barrier appeared, his eyes moved.
Close your eyes and feel it carefully, and then a dazzling divine light bursts out.
He stood up, dipped his hands in the bowl of water, combed his hair, and arranged his clothes so that he didn't look so sloppy.
Creak!
After all this was done, the door was pushed open in due course.
Dumbledore stood at the entrance and did not come in.
Grindelwald sat on his chair.
"I didn't receive your letter, so I thought you had forgotten, or maybe you were dead.
"I didn't expect you to come here in person."
"Counting the time, it seems that the last time you came here was eleven years ago."
This memory...
Pretty good.
Indeed, Dumbledore thought about it.
The last time he came here was after Voldemort disappeared, and he came to ask some questions.
"The meeting between you and me will always scare some people."
Dumbledore finally walked in and sat opposite Grindelwald, but he kept his eyelids straight.
Grindelwald didn't mind either, he looked at his old friend opposite with a half-smile.
"Last time I came here, it was for a baby, what about this time?"
"Don't tell me, you're just here to take a look."
He is the person who knows Dumbledore best. The white wizard in front of him, considered by others to be the greatest white wizard of this century, has a purpose in every move he makes.
Even if you treat your closest relatives, there will be no exception.
"`々It's not my intention to come, it's Keynes's request."
"He was afraid that someone would disturb your retirement life, so he asked me to get rid of those annoying flies."
Dumbledore waved his wand, and turkey, sausage, steak, and boiled potatoes appeared on the table.
On top, in front of the two of them, there was a set of exquisite tableware.
"It's a bit crude, so just eat it."
Grindelwald was not polite, he picked up the knife and fork and ate in big bites, his attitude was very rude.
Although he won't starve to death if he is locked up here, it is impossible for him to eat well.
Steaks and sausages are delicious foods that are not usually available.
Dumbledore just watched quietly.
The man who once almost ruled the world has fallen into such a miserable state.
And it was him who caused all this.
After a full hour, the food on the table was swept away by Grindelwald. At this time, Grindelwald also regained his grace. With a shake of his hand, "a handkerchief appeared in his hand."
After wiping the corners of his mouth, he raised his head and stared at the old man opposite him with a pair of strange eyes.
"Tell me, what happened, it's worth a trip yourself."
"no big deal."
Dumbledore cleared the table, replaced them with hot tea, and said slowly:
There are more than a dozen Ministry of Magic in the north, and now it's a mess. "
"Some old friends may have their thoughts and might come to see you."
Grindelwald frowned slightly and paused for a few seconds: "Have you become like this now?"
"What?" Dumbledore asked confused.
"I'm asking about your purpose." Grindelwald spoke word by word, staring at Dumbledore:
"Even so, you will not appear in front of me, you will only stay silently outside the tower.
"Don't tell me why Keynes is not worthy of ordering you."
Dumbledore took a deep breath.
He hates this feeling.
But there was nothing we could do.
In front of Grindelwald, he is always so easy to see through.
"Can we talk now?" Grindelwald said lightly (Zhao Zhao) as he tapped his fingers on the table.
"All right."
Dumbledore looked out the window:
"There is a new student at Hogwarts. He is outstanding and the most talented little wizard in the history of Hogwarts.
"Hmm." Grindelwald responded incomprehensibly, and Shiblido continued.
Geniuses are born every year, but whether they can grow to the heights of him and Dumbledore depends not only on talent, but also on character.
However, since Dumbledore brought it up, there must be something different about this little guy.
"Oh yeah, he's also a Hufflepuff."
Grindelwald's casual expression gradually disappeared.
What's the meaning?
It’s a big holiday, so you’re here to mess with him, right?
I wonder if he is naturally at odds with Hufflepuff...
As if he didn't notice his old friend's expression, Dumbledore said to himself:
"Unlike you and Tom, he is not interested in black magic. From him, I can feel the huge positive magic power."
"Of course, that's not the point. The point is his pet."
Grindelwald has clenched his fists, and his magic is ready to go.
If that pet is Niffler, he will have another Imperial City PK with Dumbledore.
"That's a phoenix, a very unique phoenix.
"Phoenix?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows.
"The kid's last name is Dumbledore?"
"No, no, his name is Lawrence, Wayne Lawrence." Dumbledore shook his head: "That phoenix is very special.
"Under the influence of the flames of that phoenix, Fox's nirvana was completed in just one day."
"What?!"
Grindelwald shot a sharp look.
"You heard me right, I can also guarantee the authenticity of the content.
Dumbledore took a deep breath and asked the real purpose of his trip:
"He is much more accomplished in black magic than I am."
"If, if this huge vitality can be used...can Ariana be resurrected?"
