The house elf hid himself in the shadows and said in a sharp voice: "Yes, in the attic." That was the cell Grindelwald chose for himself.
Noah nodded slightly and walked towards the attic. The house elf waited until his footsteps disappeared upstairs before stepping out of the shadows. The lightning outside the window flashed away, and the light projected from the window behind reflected the house elf's figure on the floor. He was thin and old. It was obvious that this The house elf has been here for quite some time.
So he also recognized this mysterious wizard in black robes and knew that he was once a member of this castle.
After more than seventy years, he came to visit his old friend. But the house elf was confused for a moment, as if this mysterious wizard's voice was still as young as seventy years ago.
He shuddered, stopped himself from thinking any more, and disappeared into the shadows with a low eyebrow.
It was almost dinner time, and he had to cook for the wizards in the entire castle. Here Noah walked up the stairs step by step, and it took him a while to reach the attic.
He knocked gently on the only door here, and after three seconds a voice came from inside: "You can come in directly." There is no lock here, and there is no need to lock it.
There is only Grindelwald here, and Grindelwald will never leave again. Noah heard the words and gently opened the door. As the wooden door creaked, the small cell appeared in front of him.
There was only a bookshelf and a hard bed, and the haggard old man was sitting on the hard bed, leaning against the bedside and looking down at the book in his hand by the candlelight on the wall.
"Long time no see." The much older Grindelwald closed the book and looked at Noah,
"Noah."
"It's only a few days in my memory," Noah paused.
"teacher."
"It's been 72 years for me." Grindelwald smiled.
"I'm glad to see you back safely, Noah." Noah looked at him. For him, it was only a few days since he saw him. This man has changed from being in the prime of life to old age, from being ambitious to being a prisoner. Only by facing the power of time can people feel the power and mystery of this power.
Their greetings did not have too complicated content, and were mostly daily greetings. Regarding the reason why Grindelwald was imprisoned here, the old man just shook his head calmly: "I just lost to Abu in a duel." "Si, I lost, so I accepted the outcome of the loser." He changed a lot, became calm and peaceful, and was no longer the arrogant person in Noah's impression who wanted to push all wizards onto the chessboard for himself. Used by extremists.
They talked more about trivial things, such as Noah's things in school, and the interesting things Grindelwald had heard over the years.
For example...Voldemort.
"The Dark Lord?" Grindelworth thought about the name.
"He is an interesting little guy. A student of Albus? He must have been stared at by Albus, but it can give Albus a headache. He must be a talented little guy."
"But being too obsessed with dark magic is not a wise choice," Grindelworth reflected.
"But it doesn't sound like someone who cares about wizards, probably for power. Maybe he will also look for the Elder Wand." As he spoke, he pondered: "Then it's at Albus's place." He suddenly He smiled and didn't continue.
Noah didn't care about the wand either. He thought about it and told Grindelwald another piece of news: "Now the Three Hallows of Death have appeared. The Invisibility Cloak is in Hogwarts, and the Resurrection Stone is with me." Rounding it all off, all three Deathly Hallows are in Hogwarts.
Grindelwald sighed faintly: "What a trick of fate." When he was young, he met Dumbledore in search of the invisibility cloak. Years later, what he was looking for did appear around Dumbledore.
"That's right," Grindelwald changed the subject.
"Christmas vacation is about to pass, should I give you a gift?" Noah: "...?" So when Noah left, there was an extra key in his pocket.
I don’t know what Grindelwald was thinking. Will you leave a piece of property to your students? ? ? Of course, Noah was not in a hurry to see where the key was. School was about to start, and he had already finished repairing and went to school.
...Stepping into Hogwarts again, Noah felt like he was in another world. He sighed quietly and got into a Thestral car. A Slytherin came over to say hello to him. After noticing that there was no one he knew around, he simply got into the same car with him. He obediently pulled the carriage towards the castle.
Noah's daily life finally seems to be back on track. Ai attends classes every day. When she is not in class, she does homework or studies magic. Or she is dragged to some exchange meetings, participates in club activities on Saturdays, and makes medicine for Professor Luping.
As for the Dementors and Sirius, they seemed to have nothing to do with him. The only thing he cared about at the moment was Eve.
The incident with Aurelius made Noah realize one thing. Even after surviving the twelve-year-old threshold, the Obscurials still face life threats. When one day they can no longer bear the increasingly powerful Obscurus in their bodies. , they will still die.
Unless the Obscurus is stripped away before then. But it is difficult to peel off. The longer it is parasitized, the more inseparable it is from the Obscurus, and the harder it is to peel off.
Aurelius was able to persist until he reached adulthood because he was gifted and his magical power far exceeded that of ordinary people.
And Eve... Eve is indeed talented, but it is far less talented than Aurelius. But Noah still has some doubts about Eve, and he still needs to investigate.
...Slytherin's latest inside joke is that a hippogriff, the same one that attacked Malfoy before, has been complained by the Malfoy family, although Hagrid was vouched for by Headmaster Dumbledore. The professor was not held responsible, but the hippogriff was handed over to the Dangerous Animals Committee, with a trial scheduled for April 24.
Although most people knew that Malfoy was asking for trouble, no one would say it directly. Slytherin did not have any extra sympathy for an animal. Most of them were watching this with amusement. farce.
Everyone knows that the famous Potter has a good relationship with Professor Hagrid. The trouble caused by the Hippogriff will inevitably affect these people, so instead of having fun watching the Hippogriff, Let's talk about the fun they had in Porter.
But unfortunately, the Potter trio didn't seem to have any special performance, which disappointed the Slytherins for a long time.
But Slytherin soon lost interest in it, because one week after the start of school there was a Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Compared to paying attention to other things, Slytherin's honor was more important. .
