Chapter 823: The Last Piece of the Puzzle - In Place

"So, Professor Quirrell will be back soon, right?"

In the winding streets of Salzburg, Hermione looked up at Grindelwald and asked.

By this time, they had already left Salk's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries, waiting on the side of the street for a preset portkey to take them back to Hogwarts Castle, not far from Salzburg, which was already shrouded in night, and the city was gradually lit up.

On the other side, Hannah and Luna lay on the edge of the fence, greedily looking at the brightly lit Salzburg.

"Yes, when Quirinus gets better, he will be back among us. Soon. ”

Grindelwald replied with a smile, gently tugging on the top hat above his head.

It's always a pleasure to talk to smart people, and Quirrell is pretty good at judging the situation and understanding - perhaps some of that comes from Voldemort's tutelage - but in any case, the young wizard is probably one of Grindelwald's most admired wizards in all this time.

"If nothing else, you can see him at school by next Monday at the latest. Miss Granger. ”

"What about Professor Lupin? I mean, you can't have two professors in one class at the same time, can you? I've been looking forward to Professor Lupin's class since I heard Wood's description—though I'd love for Professor Quirrell to come back. ”

"Sorry, I don't remember Hogwarts having such a rule. ”

Grindelwald blinked nimbly, watching with interest as Elena pointed to the lights of the city below to introduce Salzburg to the other two little witches, while patiently explaining to the "100,000 Whys" lady beside her.

"As far as I know, Muggle schools don't have only one professor in one course, right? you should be meeting your new professors at tonight's banquet, Hogwarts should have started reform a long time ago. Besides, who told you that Professor Quirrell will be the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor when he returns to the castle?"

"Eh, Professor Quirrell won't teach Defence Against the Dark Arts when he comes back this time?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Luna Lovegood turned around and interjected curiously.

Compared with the naïve little iron girl, she has already noticed the weakness in Elena's words, maybe there is nothing wrong with the story and landscape explained by this white-haired ball, but most of the direction of her fingers must be wrong.

"Well, after a year of trying, Professor Quirrell felt that he still preferred the subject of Muggle studies. And in Quirinus's current condition, it's also the most suitable subject for him - and while it may be a bit verbose, I want you to ...... about Professor Quirrell's temporary loss of magic."

"Don't worry, Professor Apocaris, we'll keep it a secret with you!"

Hannah Abbott waved her small fist seriously, "Even if Mom asks, I'll tell her that Professor Quirrell is just trying to study the perspective between magic and non-magic, not because he suddenly lost his magical abilities." ”

“...... Well, Hannah, I think you might as well just say you don't know. ”

Elena rubbed her head with a bit of a headache and sighed softly.

"Why? I shouldn't have made a mistake—"

The lovely Tie Hanhan puffed out his cheeks a little unconvinced, and said unhappily, "I obviously have a serious back this time! Anyway, I know! You are really secretly disgusting me for being stupid again, right? Hmph╭(╯^╰)╮!"

"Mainly...... Well, this kind of bad thing is not for a cute little angel like you. ”

Elena blinked, glanced at the little iron girl who was still pouting, thought about it and said tentatively.

"Or, when I go back to school, I'll make you a separate 'Honey Sauce Carrot Fried Pork'? This time, I will teach you a good job, and ensure that you can show off your skills in the Broken Cauldron Tavern after the holidays, and customize it separately!"

"I won't forgive you so simply this time, unless ......"

Hannah snorted, hesitated for a few seconds, and swallowed quietly.

"At the very least, add the stewed pork with seasonal vegetables in white sauce, the chicken stuffed with sweet flowers, the fried radish balls, and the stuffed meat rolls with matsutake mushrooms—that ...... If you think it's too much, you can actually discuss it......"

Is this recipe already prepared in advance?

Elena raised an eyebrow and glanced at Hannah in surprise.

Unconsciously, this little iron girl also began to learn badly - under the influence of Hermione and Luna, the two little girls, I didn't expect that even Tie Hanhan began to learn to ask for a lot of money and pay back the money on the ground, which is not a good sign.

Merely......

As a veteran foodie who has witnessed 5,000 years of Chinese food culture, Elena doesn't mind this happening.

If it were just such a simple and simple request, she could have done one dish a day, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, and fed Hannah until graduation, and at that time, she might be able to get a master chef by accident.

"Okay, come with me to the kitchen tonight...... Not...... That's right!"

Elena pretended to be reluctant, nodded reluctantly, turned her head to look at the two little witches next to her who had erected their ears and swallowed desperately, but were embarrassed to take the initiative to come up, and beckoned with a smile.

"In that case, you two should also go together, and you won't go back after eating, just squeeze on my bed. ”

"Ahem, ahem—sorry for the interruption, kids. ”

Gellert Grindelwald cleared his throat helplessly, reminding him that a certain little girl was not a school dormitory.

"We're almost going back, if there's anything, you guys talk to yourselves later-"

I don't know if it's a strange curse, but every Dark Lord doesn't seem to have left any heirs.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, according to the development of this posture, most likely he will not have the opportunity to see the appearance of any "granddaughter" - the Caslana family and the Apocalis family, there is a high probability that they will be extinct after this generation.

However, this is not a big deal......

Grindelwald turned his head and looked at the hospital behind him that was shrouded in night.

Non-wizarding world's most cutting-edge medical conjectures, combined with some magical methods, if all goes well, perhaps in his lifetime, the things he and Dumbledore once regretted can be resolved in the new era.

I have to admit that the appearance of Elena's child has really subverted too many people's original expectations.

"Come, get ready, it's time for us to go back-"

Grindelwald retracted his thoughts, took out his pocket watch and looked at it casually, and nodded to Elena and the others.

With a faint blue light, the stone slab located under the feet of Grindelwald and the others suddenly shook, and an invisible spatial distortion enveloped the four wizards above, silently disappearing in place.

......

Meanwhile, not far away is the Salk Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.

Quirinus Quirrell played with the glowing metal insignia in his hand, the token that His Royal Highness the Dark Lord had quietly left beside his bedside before leaving the hospital room.

“Wizard IN Black...... It's a secret organization that's hard to refuse......"

Quirrell murmured, his eyes shining as he remembered the assignment Elena had given him.

"So, let the hunt begin......"

"This time, it's finally your turn to run away, my dear 'master'—"
