Chapter 319 Veela Tribe, Dumbledore: I Shouldn’T Have Come!

Chapter 319 Veela Tribe, Dumbledore: I Shouldn’T Have Come!

The next day, Crouch packed his luggage and moved directly into the Ministry of Magic.

His reasons are also very good. The World Cup final is less than a month away, and there is also the Holy Grail War that spans a year. Living in the Ministry of Magic can handle work anytime and anywhere.

This dedicated performance made the employees of the International Magical Cooperation Department awe-inspiring.

Percy, who had just joined the job, worshiped him as an idol, and Crouch was never a topic he discussed when he went home every day.

The twins congratulated him one after another for finally finding their biological father after eighteen years.

The two were then severely beaten by Mrs. Weasley.

The person most disturbed by Crouch's erratic behavior was Fudge.

In order to suppress Crouch's sudden surge in popularity, Fudge also followed suit. He almost never returned to his manor and walked around each floor every day to show his presence.

It also suppressed Crouch by the way to prevent him from contacting people in other departments.

But it was inevitable that due to work needs, he still watched Crouch and Sports Director Bagman get closer and closer.

This made Fudge even more happy and even grateful to Wayne.

Fortunately, Wayne removed Scrimgeour so that he could replace him with his henchman Kingsley Shacklebolt.

You must know that Scrimgeour has expressed his appreciation and approval of Crouch's tough style more than once before.

Fudge now controls half of the Legal Enforcement Department, and has also joined forces with the Transportation Department to control the Magical Creatures Management Department.

No matter how active Crouch is, he is still far behind him.

the other side.

Wayne also left London a few days later and headed to the Forest of Orleans in central France.

As soon as the summer vacation came, Fleur and Gabrielle came to the Veela gathering place here to accompany their grandmother, and they officially met their parents.

Fleur's grandmother is almost eighty years old, but as a Veela, her aging rate is much slower than that of humans, and she doesn't even look much older than Fleur.

With light golden hair and skin like moonlight, she looks like a fairy.

It's just that he's a little short, only about one meter

Wayne suspected that Fleur's grandfather had any special hobbies, such as big horses and small carts...

"Are you the little wizard that little Furong always talks about?"

Grandma was also looking at Wayne curiously. Not only her, but many Veela in the Veela tribe came over.

The probability of humans and Veela combining is still quite low, and the number of mixed-blood Veela is not very high.

But after seeing the boy, almost all the Veela's eyes lit up.

The Veela race are all pretty, and Wayne almost excels in their aesthetics.

"Hello, grandma."

Wayne greeted him respectfully, and then Fleur's grandmother withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and nodded with her hands on her hips in an old-fashioned way.

"However, little Furong's eyesight is not good."

"If the old man could be as handsome as you, there wouldn't be such a big obstacle for us to be together."

The old man sitting next to her smiled bitterly.

Wayne suddenly became more playful and quietly released his talent for affinity with magical animals.

In an instant, whether it was Fleur, her grandmother, or the dozen or so Veela around, the way they looked at him changed, revealing a sense of closeness.

They suddenly realized that Wayne was just standing there, but he was much more pleasing to the eye.

"Aunt Tulisa, Aunt Ortiz, why are you so close?" Fleur realized something was wrong and quickly stood in front of Wayne.

I don't know when, all the Veela who were still far away came over, looking like they wanted to eat the boy alive.

The look in her eyes made Fleur a little scared.

Wayne also quickly turned off the magical animal affinity talent, and continued to play the game repeatedly.

Several Veela calmed down, and one of them couldn't help but ask: "Little Fleur, does your boyfriend like to keep pets? Do you mind raising a Veela?"

"Do you mind raising a few more? We eat very little."

"I can pay for the food." There was even a Veela whispering in the distance.

Furong felt her scalp numb when she saw the elders gathered around to show their attentiveness...

She suddenly regretted letting Wayne follow her back to her parents' home...

In order to avoid certain uncontrollable situations, the Delacour sisters treated Wayne very seriously during these days in the Veela tribe.

During the day, when Fleur went to learn Veela magic, Gabrielle would follow Wayne every step of the way.

And at night, it was Hibiscus who accompanied him.

It is obvious that Fleur is determined to win this Holy Grail War.

A total of seven schools participated. If they can win the championship, Beauxbatons' reputation will definitely increase greatly. Even Madame Maxime attaches great importance to this and even specially came to Orleans Forest to check on Fleur's progress.

When she saw Wayne there, Madame Maxime was very surprised, and her first words were...

"Mr. Lawrence, do you think that with Fleur's current strength and accomplishments, is there any competition for her in Hogwarts?"

Wayne was dumbfounded, so anxious to find out the strength of his opponent?

Just kidding, he is the successor of Hogwarts, how could he reveal information about his school?

"Wayne, just tell me" Fleur hugged his arm in time.

Seventeen is the most beautiful age for a girl, with the breath of youth blowing against her face.

Wayne is a man who can stand the test, but what is the relationship between Fleur and him? What can't be said about this?

"Mrs. Maxim, Fleur's current level of magic is considered excellent at Hogwarts. The student council president who just graduated is better than her, and a friend of mine is also similar to her."

Wayne was talking about Percy.

Percid's talent is actually not much better than that of his peers, but his most powerful thing is actually his firm mind.

At a young age, I knew what I wanted and worked hard for it.

In order to enter the Ministry of Magic and join a promising department, Percy has always regarded his grades as his stepping stone, so he never slacks off. This is the main reason why he is stronger than most students.

In fact, this is very common among ordinary people when they are students. Many people can endure loneliness and study intensively for more than ten hours a day, but some people get splitting headaches after reading for half an hour.

This is how the gap is widened.

Maxim nodded without surprise.

She didn't expect Fleur to be able to crush the students of Hogwarts, it was basically unrealistic.

Even Beauxbatons, Fleur had many competitors a year ago.

It's just that since the last school year, this child has suddenly become enlightened and learns everything much faster, which makes Maxim see hope.

Next, she asked Wayne some indirect information about the outstanding students of Hogwarts, but unfortunately she didn't get any useful information.

In fact, in Wayne's eyes, there is no difference between those students...

.......

Hogwarts

In Snape's office, Dumbledore looked solemn.

"The situation is more troublesome than I thought." Snape looked at Regulus, whose appearance had not changed, and explained to Dumbledore in a deep voice.

"It has been so long that Regulus's physical properties have completely changed and he has completely turned into a dark creature."

"Many of the potions I prepared for him suddenly turned into poison. Not only could they not restore him to his original state, they would also harm his body."

"Not even the ashes of the Phoenix after its rebirth?" Dumbledore asked again.

"It's just adding fuel to the fire. Look there." Snape pointed, and Dumbledore followed and looked over. He saw that the skin on the inner side of Regulus's left arm was completely different from the pale skin elsewhere, and was completely black.

The original black devil mark on it also became blurry.

Dumbledore came back to his senses and looked at Snape with a subtle expression, "Do you know how much I paid to help you get the ashes of Nirvana?"

Snape's expression was a little unnatural, but didn't he curiously ask: "Lawrence dares to blackmail you?"

The corners of the old man's mouth twitched.

"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but in Wayne's eyes... I should be the best blackmail target."

It took Snape a lot of willpower to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up, causing his face to become deformed.

Dumbledore's eyes flashed: "Since it has no effect, can the remaining ashes of Nirvana be returned to me?"

Snape immediately made a serious face: "Sorry, it has been used up during the experiment."

Just kidding, it's unlikely that something that goes into his pocket will be handed over.

Dumbledore silently took out a bottle of medicine and poured a few sips into his mouth.

"Then what are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but there's nothing I can do." Snape shook his head.

"He is not a normal Inferi, but transformed through vicious black magic. How can I break the Dark Lord's magic?"

Dumbledore nodded silently, "Thank you for your hard work, Severus. Leave the rest to me."

He collected Regulus' body and left the office.

In the next few days, Dumbledore kept hesitating whether to go to Grindelwald or not.

But after taking a closer look, he found that Regulus's problem could only be solved by another Dark Lord.

In desperation, Dumbledore could only go to Nurmengard Tower again.

Austria, Alps.

Dumbledore arrived at the foot of the tower with ease. The tight barrier was no different to him who had been in and out several times.

Only when he came to the entrance of the tower, Dumbledore's expression changed.

The squib guard responsible for guarding the door was lying on the table and fast asleep, which gave him an unpleasant premonition and he hurriedly walked upstairs.

Nearing the top floor, he could still hear faint conversations, which gradually became clearer.

"I'm not bragging to you! Albus back then was no match for me!"

"Because, because my wand is bigger and longer than his!"

"Although we haven't played against each other many times, I give in to him every time. I can't bear to kill him, so I always try harder to fight back!"

"Especially your senior, how many times have we fought because of him? Hufflepuff is no good, and neither is your kid!"

boom!

Dumbledore pushed open the door with a dark face.

I saw a gorgeous table in the dilapidated room, with rich food and wine on it.

Grindelwald and Wayne should have just clinked their glasses and raised their heads to drink it down.

As a result, the movements in his hands froze in place due to his sudden appearance.

Seeing the two of them enjoying themselves, Dumbledore suddenly realized that his arrival was somewhat unnecessary.

"Huh? Principal, you're here to visit too." Wayne put down his wine glass and greeted enthusiastically: "Sit down quickly, we have just started eating, what would you like to drink?"

Familiar look,

It's like being the owner here.

Dumbledore also didn't react for a while. He suddenly woke up after sitting next to Grindelwald.

"No, Wayne, why are you here?"

"Oh, Mr. Grindelwald did me a little favor before, and his old friends asked me to send some gifts.

"I happened to be in France a while ago, not far from here, so I stopped by."

Dumbledore nodded silently.

He probably guessed what was going on and had no intention of interfering too much.

He was relatively reassured that Wayne had contact with those saints. After all, the positions of both parties were not consistent.

"how about you?"

Grindelwald suddenly sneered: "You are such a busy man, why did you come here suddenly?"

"Don't just talk, talk while you eat." Wayne snapped his fingers, and a set of cutlery, forks, dishes, and chopsticks appeared in front of Dumbledore.

And there was an extra handful of melon seeds in front of him.

"Then let's talk while eating." Dumbledore nodded, reached out and cut a piece for his son to buy.

After coming all the way from Hogwarts, he was also a little hungry.

Grindelwald curled his lips and calmly moved the plate with the lion's head towards Lao Deng.

During the meal, Dumbledore also revealed the purpose of his trip.

After hearing Regulus's deeds, Grindelwald's eyes were filled with brilliance.

"It's a pity. If he were a person of my time, he would definitely be my strongest supporter."

"It's unlucky to meet such a master."

5.0 Dumbledore sighed and made no rebuttal.

"There is no point in talking about this anymore, Gellert." Dumbledore was also full and put down his chopsticks.

"I hope you can help me restore Regulus to normal so that he can be eligible to enter the Black family cemetery.

"Is this your attitude towards asking for help?"

Grindelwald crossed his arms and sneered: "Look at Lawrence, even if he comes to deliver something, he will prepare a table of good wine and food."

"What about you? Come here empty-handed and only know how to make demands?"

"Why should I promise you?"

Wayne was eating melon seeds more and more vigorously.

Dumbledore lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say.

Between the two of them... they still have to calculate so clearly?

Obviously the last time I asked him to do something, I didn't ask for so much, so why did I get it right this time?

But the situation is stronger than others, so we can only buy low.

"Gellert, I'm in a hurry. Whatever you need, as long as it doesn't embarrass me, I can grant it to you."

Grindelwald showed a smile, but it quickly disappeared.

Then he winked wildly at Wayne.

Wayne clapped his hands, threw the melon seed shells aside and stood up.

"You guys talk slowly, I'll leave first."

"Mr. Grindelwald, I have also put the things sent by my old friends here for you. If you need to reply, just prepare them in the next few days. I will ask Phoenix King to come over in a week.

"

"No need." Grindelwald shook his head.

"If I contact them directly, I'm afraid someone will not be able to sleep again."

After saying that, he glanced at Lao Lao, who was silent.

Wayne shrugged nonchalantly, greeted Lao Deng again, and walked out of the room.

The rest...that's between the two of them. .
