Chapter 257 Turning An Elf-Like Girl Into A Caged Bird
Nurmengard's defensive barrier is very solid and well thought out.
Even the phoenix and house elves were triggered when they Apparated, and within five minutes, a large number of Aurors would arrive.
Wayne strongly suspected that this feature was for Dumbledore.
He is the only one in the world who has a phoenix, and he doesn't know anything about Grindelwald, so he can't guard against him.
Wayne and Phoenix King had the same mind, and Phoenix King quickly memorized the route to safely enter Nurmengard. He gently rubbed Wayne's cheek, and Phoenix King disappeared into the dormitory.
After arranging everything, I lay back on the bed and continued to sleep.
I have to thank Susan tomorrow. After all, her aunt also helped with the conversation.
On the other side, Phoenix King flew and teleported, and soon left the British border and came to the Pyrenees Mountains.
After flying to the barrier and seeing the black tower inside, she lowered her flying altitude and followed the route given by Wayne to Grindelwald's room.
The hot breath hit his face, and Grindelwald, who was still sleeping, woke up instantly, with a flash of vigilance in his eyes.
When you see the Phoenix King in the sky, you calm down.
"It's so late at night, aren't you afraid of scaring people to death?"
Grindelwald's face was dark. He thought someone was trying to harm him just now.
Feng Wang was very cold and did not respond, just threw the letter away.
Grindelwald opened the letter, read it through with the help of the firelight radiated by Phoenix King, and couldn't help but laugh.
"What a kid. He's still in the mood to play house with the Ministry of Magic."
In his opinion, Wayne's efforts on this point are completely unworthy. He can either use powerful force to directly eliminate the trouble itself, or directly use ordinary people's rules to fight, just treat it as a pastime.
He's... he's literally flipping the table over.
"Chirp!"
Hearing Grindelwald's comments, Phoenix King cried out in displeasure, and the flames on his body became even hotter.
"Be careful." Grindelwald raised his hand and released a protective shield to protect the bed from being burned to ashes by the Phoenix King's fire.
"I didn't say I wouldn't agree. Your temper is much hotter than Fox's."
"Chirp!"
"Sorry, I haven't learned the language of Phoenix, nor do I have the talent of your master. I don't understand what you are talking about."
Grindelwald sat on a chair, thought for a long time, and started writing a letter on parchment.
He himself had the intention of gathering the surviving saints together. After he was imprisoned, the saints were like a piece of loose sand, suppressed and monitored by the Ministry of Magic in their respective countries.
No one can stand up at all, and everyone unites together.
Moreover, choosing an inappropriate leader can easily push these 460 survivors into another abyss, where they would be worse off than surviving like they are now.
That boy Lawrence is the most suitable candidate.
His background determines that he will not lead the saints back to the extreme path. Throughout history, there seems to be only one example of a pure Muggle-born archmage.
The most important thing is that only Wayne can protect these people in front of Dumbledore.
Otherwise, no matter how many people there are, they are just a mob.
Last time he mentioned it half tentatively and half seriously. Although Dumbledore stopped him, his attitude was not tough.
It was a good opportunity for Wayne to establish some contact with the Saints.
Thinking of this, Grindelwald wrote down a long list of names.
These are the people he trusts most, and even death cannot change their loyalty.
"Take it to your master." Grindelwald handed the parchment to Phoenix King: "These people can be used with confidence. Although they are all old bones, they can still move a few times."
Phoenix King grabbed the parchment and sprinkled a sacred flame on Grindelwald's body, making his condition much better before he flew out of the window.
The next day, I read Grindelwald's reply.
"Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, huh?...How come they are even from the north?"
Wayne found that he had still far underestimated Grindelwald's influence back then.
There are not many people on the list, only more than ten, but they are distributed in most major countries in Europe. There are even two people from Mao Xiong.
And looking at these surnames, they are all pure blood.
That's right, the most ardent supporters of the original Dark Lord back then were nothing but purebloods. Only their background could save the lives of these people.
At the end of the letter, there was also a small spell created by Grindelwald. As long as they saw the Deathly Hallows symbol drawn in this way, those saints would immediately recognize that it was Grindelwald's handiwork. He was considered a Anti-counterfeit labels.
After writing down all the information above, Wayne burned the parchment to ashes.
Then he walked out of the dormitory.
I happened to meet Susan who was with Hannah at the door. Wayne gave her a pendant with three apparation spells sealed on it, which could travel up to a hundred miles away.
Amelia Burns should be a rare capable and honest official in the Ministry of Magic. The two did not have much interaction before, but they still helped to speak, and he had to accept the favor.
After spending the whole morning cooking beauty potions with Qiu, after lunch, Wayne did not forget the agreement and approached Luna.
"Where are we going?"
"Just take a walk. Where do you usually like to go?"
"Usually..." Luna lowered her head and thought for a moment: "Usually looking for Ginny."
Wayne:
"Today is not a good time to take Ginny with you." Wayne looked down at the little girl: "First of all, I just want to study you today.
Even Luna couldn't help but take a step back when she heard these subtle words.
In the storybooks for children in the wizarding world, the dark wizards all start with similar words. No, even the black market is much more tactful than him.
Luna tilted her head and looked at the boy to make sure she didn't sense any dangerous aura, then she asked softly:
"Will it hurt?"
"No." Wayne shook his head, and after saying that he was unsure again, "Well, probably not.
A trace of confusion flashed in Luna's eyes, and she thought for a while before agreeing.
"I want to go to the Forbidden Forest."
"Can.
"1
The two left the castle and walked along the path to the Forbidden Forest. When they passed the cabin, Hagrid and the hound Yaya were not there. Maybe they would meet in the Forbidden Forest.
After entering the forest, Luna's steps became much brisker. From following Wayne all the time, she became the one walking in front.
The blonde girl felt as if she had returned home, relieved of all her burdens.
"You like the Forbidden Forest very much?"
"Yeah." Luna stretched out her hand, and a butterfly landed on her hand, "I like the atmosphere here, lively and peaceful.
She used two opposite words to describe the same thing, even Wayne frowned when he heard it.
"Tell me about the stars." Wayne changed the subject, "Can you really see stars in me?"
"Always okay."
"What kind of stars? And when did it start." Wayne frowned.
Luna thought carefully for a moment and then said: "That time Ginny and I met you, and since then, there have been many stars around you, and... they have become more and more dazzling.
Look at the sky.
Isn't this a bit outrageous?
He clearly remembered that he had just received the inheritance at that time.
No... why should she?
"Can you describe it specifically? What does it feel like?" Wayne continued to ask, but after Luna told what he saw, he was confused.
The young man had an idea.
"How about you draw it? You can draw, right?"
Luna didn't refuse.
Soon, Wayne brought paper and pen, and to make it more vivid, he also prepared more than ten colors of ink.
Turning a wooden stake into a drawing board and making a small chair, Luna sat there and started drawing. Wayne felt sleepy after watching it for a while, so he lay down next to her and fell asleep.
It wasn't until I felt someone shaking me that I woke up in a daze.
"Is the painting finished?"
"Um."
Yawning, he walked to the drawing board. Looking at the patterns on it, Wayne raised his eyebrows: "Why two?"
"One is you before, and the other is you now."
"Then why is there only one person?"
Luna looked up at him: "Because... you used to be the sun, but now you are just you.'
Wayne felt like his brain was running out.
He picked up two pictures. The first one only had a red sun on it. Far, far away from him, there were many little people represented by black dots.
In the second picture, a large man is in the middle of the picture, surrounded by hundreds of stars. (bhde)
"So in your eyes, I wasn't a human being before?" Wayne held back for a long time and could only ask this question.
"I can't see clearly even if people are in the light." Luna said softly.
"It's a feeling, not what you see."
"No, that's what I saw."
The young man stared at her slightly bulging eyes and used Legilimency in a rare move.
Although this is very unethical, he is more flexible and can temporarily lower the bottom line.
"Wait while I think about it." Wayne sat down on the wooden pier and began to think.
There is no doubt that the girl has something.
Luna didn't lie just now, she really thought she saw it.
Maybe, that's what she saw.
He couldn't figure out what the sun represented, but the stars were undoubtedly related to the inheritance of the Star Casting Dragon King.
The other top wizards are actually aware of it.
Like Nico and Dumbledore, they all noticed the changes in Wayne, but they couldn't be as specific as Luna.
Intuition, third eye, or the specialness of the soul?
At first, he thought that Luna was somewhat similar to Grandma Queenie, and that she was a born master of Legilimency. It seemed that he was still shallow at that time, and this was much more powerful than Legilimency.
No one wants their secret to be seen through, even if it is not the deepest secret.
At this time, Luna took two steps back, frowned, and put her hands in front of her body.
"You're thinking about something dangerous."
"That's right." Wayne didn't deny it. He was noticed as soon as he had some thoughts. There was no point in lying.
"Your talent is terrible, it might cause trouble for me."
The blond girl was slightly startled, shook her head and explained seriously: "No, we are friends, I will not hurt you."
"But I hate the unknown." Wayne slowly closed his right hand, and the surrounding trees bent down, forming a dome, surrounding the two of them.
The sunlight dimmed, and starlight appeared around Wayne.
"You read that right, there are indeed many stars around me."
"Luna, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing." Wayne stared at the girl in front of him, stepped forward and stroked her long hair, which was wrinkled.
"How long has it been since you washed your hair? Why is it a little oily?"
No matter how strange it was, Luna was still a girl after all, so she angrily slapped Wayne's big hand away.
It’s a problem with Potter’s shampoo…”
"I'll listen seriously." Wayne nodded indifferently, his knocked-off hand silently climbed up Luna's neck, and whispered:
"What if one day you reveal my secret?"
"This is just the beginning. Maybe in the future, I will have more changes and secrets..."
Luna didn't speak, just blinked her big eyes and looked at the boy.
Actually, Luna is not the most beautiful girl just from the perspective of facial features and appearance, but combined with her temperament...
But it gave Wayne a violent impulse in his heart.
He wanted to tarnish this white flower, no matter what color it was, as long as it was not so pure.
Destroying beautiful things is a bad trait buried deep in human genes.
"What do you think I should do?" the young man asked distressedly.
"You have no murderous intent." Luna calmed down at this time, not caring about Wayne's actions at all, "I don't know how to make you believe me.
"Indeed, I'm Hufflepuff, how could I kill you for something that didn't happen?" Wayne agreed: "You're very good at reading people.'
"Death is not necessary, but I must accept your freedom."
"From now on, you are my property."
Luna's eyes widened as the boy's handsome face got closer and closer.
Half an hour later, the two walked out of the forbidden forest.
At this time, the expression of the Sanwu girl finally showed rich changes, her mouth squirmed from time to time, and she said with some distress: "Why are you in such a place."
"Why do you put the brand on your tongue? It feels weird."
"It's just an illusion." Wayne said without looking back: "Normally you wouldn't feel anything unless I activated the mark."
"Remember, don't mention anything about me to anyone else, not even Ginny."
"I see."
Luna put her hands behind her back and lowered her head, just following behind the boy.
In a short period of time, the relationship between the two has undergone strange changes.
According to Wayne, she is a caged bird at this moment. Even if the cage door is not closed, she can fly freely [but her final destination will always be in the cage.
This was a deal she couldn't refuse, and the price she paid was to keep her secret forever, and the price Wayne paid was...
Luna looked up, even more angry.
Yeah, what did Wayne pay?
Luna's change was not noticed by anyone. Even Ginny, who was closest to her, did not realize that her best friend had changed into someone else's shape.
However, her contact with Wayne became more frequent, and Sui En would even call her when giving tutoring lessons to Greengrass.
Thanks to Luna, Ginny also learned a lot.
Wayne taught her two spells, a bat spirit spell and a bone shattering spell.
It can be said that Ginny's talent is the highest among the students he has ever seen.
Especially in terms of spells and black magic defense, you can learn it with just a little teaching.
Just like that, the time came to the day before Halloween.
All senior students who had obtained permission arrived at the gate early to line up and prepare to go to Hogsmeade.
In the entire third year, apart from the Slytherin students, only Harry was forced to stay in the castle.
"Potter, don't make any crooked ideas." Snape sat at the guest seat with a proud smile on his lips: "Today you will make up for your lessons with Slytherin until the dinner starts.
"If your final grade this year doesn't reach E' [I guarantee you won't be able to go to Hoggard even once next semester."
He stayed in school specifically to keep an eye on Harry. Seeing Harry staring at him with those familiar eyes, Snape smiled even more happily.
At the castle gate, Filch checked the parents' signatures of Wayne and Hermione, and the two followed the crowd out of the campus and soon arrived at Hogsmeade. .
