Newmontard Castle.

After dinner, Elena and Grindelwald returned to Newmontgard Castle with Dumbledore, leading the way, and began to pack their belongings for Hogwarts - in fact, it was mainly Elena alone in the bedroom collecting her own underwear and textbooks, while the other two old wizards were in a daze in the living room.

For Gellert Grindelwald, for example, all he really needed to carry was a small metal box sealed by magic, and nothing else.

According to Grindelwald, as the richest headmaster ever at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the generous and generous Albus Dumbledore would not have watched his new staff create some inappropriate influence in the wizarding world for some new clothes and supplies.

"So, you're ready to agree to that girl's offer?"

In the warm and cozy living room, Grindelwald lazily lay in the same armchair in the Gryffindor House common room, peeling the candy wrappers from the dessert shelves in the living room, while looking at Dumbledore, who was trying to restore the broken wooden planks that had been reduced to pieces into door panels, and said casually.

Dumbledore did not respond positively to Elena's previous thoughts in the cabin, but chose to consider a day before giving a final reply, but for Grindelwald, who knew Dumbledore's personality well, this way of answering was actually no different from a direct yes - "think about it" = "I'll find a balance that I accept".

"I didn't accept it all, I just chose part of it. ”

Dumbledore shook his wrist flexibly, patiently repaired the wooden door little by little, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Grindelwald, and said with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned:

"Besides, I don't think I'm left with a lot of options—even if I say no, some people don't seem to be willing, do they? Frankly, I already regret letting her meet you. ”

"Albus, I said you shouldn't give me hope. ”

Grindelwald didn't hesitate to admit his thoughts, grinning rather smugly, "So now, where are you going to start?"

"Hogwarts. ...... in a wizard's way"

Dumbledore's wand lightly tapped the fully restored wooden door, and the Hogwarts crest on it slowly flowed with a layer of magical luster, and said with great ease:

"Clearly, Hogwarts is the best place to see if some ideas and methods are feasible. Moreover, I don't think our Miss Kaslana understands that many times for wizards, it is enough to just understand the result. This may have only been transformed by a long career of magical learning. ”

"There is no objection. Grindelwald nodded succinctly and pleasantly.

He shared Dumbledore's view on this - Elena clearly didn't understand it, it belonged to the wizard's way of thinking.

Compared to Muggles, who focused on a strict logical sequence, wizards only needed to know what to expect and what they needed to achieve the outcome, and they could skip the complicated steps in between and go straight to the end point through magical shortcuts.

In other words, for a truly powerful wizard, knowing what the outcome is is more complicated than knowing how to make it happen.

"By the way, how are you going to arrange my position? [I] am also a celebrity in the wizarding world. ”

Since he wants to use the identity of Paracelsus, Grindelwald will inevitably deal with the professors at Hogwarts.

Although he has been imprisoned for forty-six years, if he puts it on Paracelsus, who has lived in seclusion for many years, it is normal for some information to be unsmooth and backward in information, and the more important thing is actually the identity of daily activities.

"The Chief Therapist of the School Infirmary, and ......"

Dumbledore was silent for a few seconds, theoretically, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was undoubtedly the most suitable, but this position was not vacant for the time being. Paracelsus, who has been in the non-magical and magical worlds for decades as a doctor, is a reasonable excuse to temporarily go to Hogwarts as a school doctor because of signs of Grindelwald's activity in the reclusive Salzburg.

It's just that the workload of the school doctor alone obviously can't fully match Gellert Grindelwald's needs, and the main purpose is to help Grindelwald regulate his sick body.

Based on past experience, Hogwarts did not need such saturated medical support for most of the time.

Dumbledore paused, glanced thoughtfully at Grindelwald, who was full of eagerness, and added slowly, "And...... Hogwarts Castle Keeper. ”

Poor Mr. Argus Filch has been complaining about the lack of manpower, and with the addition of Grindelwald, the energetic children in the school may not be able to be as unscrupulous as before.

"Castlekeeper, Albus, don't you think you're sometimes a little too cruel to your students? ”

Grindelwald grinned, his slender fingers playing with his wand.

"It's better than them doing cruel things to themselves because of their ignorance. ”

Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders and said with a helpless look on his face, "Sometimes, children who don't control their own powers are more terrifying than adults. Not to mention, this year's Hogwarts Castle wasn't particularly safe in the first place. ”

"Indeed, the little wizards are much more terrible now than we were back then......"

Hearing Dumbledore's words, Grindelwald suddenly remembered something, nodded with palpitations, and let out an exclamation of approval.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

At that moment, Elena poked her head out of the bedroom curiously, and looked suspiciously at the two old wizards who were talking happily.

I don't know why, she always feels that if these two people can reach a tacit understanding, it is very likely that they will join forces to say bad things about her. It's as if the biggest common language between her and Grindelwald is to complain about Dumbledore together.

"Dear professors, I've packed up, can you come and help me carry my luggage? ”

The silver-haired witch moved her slender shoulders and puffed out her cheeks cutely and complained, "After all, those two big boxes are too heavy for me. ”

"No problem. ”

Dumbledore nodded gently, his gaze resting on the silver light of the girl's right hand, "But, dear Miss Caslana, can you give me a reason why the sharp knife in your hand will help you in your studies and life?"

"Knives, those are the tools I use to handle the herbs in the Potions class. ”

Elena blinked, looked past Dumbledore, looked at Grindelwald sitting on the sofa, and replied calmly, "You can check this with Mr. Grindelwald, for these days we have been using these equipment in our daily Potions lessons. ”

"Really?" Dumbledore glanced at Elena and raised his eyebrows noncommittally, "I'm just reminding you that the first class in the first year of Hufflepuff House was Professor Snape's Potions class, and he was a pretty strict Potions master. So, you'd better try not to challenge Professor Snape's views too violently in Potions class. ”

As he spoke, Dumbledore's wand flicked, and a piece of parchment floated in front of Elena and unfurled, revealing the girl's schedule for the coming week.

Compared to the lion cubs who can sleep in on Monday mornings, the first lesson of school for Hufflepuff first-graders is a brutal opening ceremony.

"Professor Snape?"

Elena whispered a Dumbledore word, turned around, and put the knife in her hand into the box, so that Dumbledore would not see the look in her eyes, "Don't worry, my favorite is the Potions class." ”

And...... In the whole of Hogwarts, the favorite is the Potions professor.
