Chapter 2: The Memory Ball and the Broken Wand
Old Jack handed the letter to Andy, who opened the letter, and sure enough, it read the admission notice to Hogwarts School that Harry fans in his previous life knew
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Principal: Albus. Dumbledore (Sir Merlin, 1st Class, Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot...... )
Dear Mr. Brown,
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted for admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry......
Your loyalty
Minerva. McGonagall (Vice-Principal, female)
Here's what you'll need to prepare......"
After reading the letter, Andy looked up at Old Jack suspiciously, "Honey... Mr. Brown? ”
Old Jack nodded, "Yes, dear Mr. Brown. Do you really think I'm going to let you go to school with your Grindelwald surname unprepared?"
After Old Jack and Andy finished speaking, he dug into the pocket of his tattered black robe, pulled out a clear round lens, and then pressed the lens to Andy's eyes and tapped the lens with his wand.
"What are you doing?"
Andy stepped back defensively, and was surprised to find that the lenses attached to his eyes were missing.
"Look at your eyes now," Old Jack didn't answer, but handed Andy a mirror.
Andy looked in the mirror and noticed that his eyes were now a different color, and his right eye had changed from blue to the same brown as his left.
"I'll take you to do a look later, the German Ministry of Magic only has pictures of you when you were a child, and now you've changed a lot, I'll help you wash off the tracking charm when I brought you to England.
Now as long as you don't get detected by the bloodline detection magic, basically no one knows your identity, Grindelwald.... Oh no, Mr. Brown."
Jack looked into Andy's eyes, clearly pleased with his masterpiece, and then he took out a necklace for Andy to bring with him
"This is a magic item that can help you hide your identity better, but before I do that, I'm going to take you to learn a simple Occlumency technique, so you don't show your stuff."
Andy looked at the necklace around his neck, it was a four-winged bird, the copper paint was a little rusty, it didn't look like a magic item at all, but like a fake text from a big stall.
"Occlumency?"
Andy pretended not to know anything and asked Jack that he knew about Occlumency, a magic technique to prevent people from reading their minds, and Harry had learned this spell to prevent Voldemort from reading his thoughts in reverse.
"Simple, although there is no guarantee that you will not be read mind, Dumbledore and they don't know you are here, he is one of the few masters in the world who reads minds"
Jack was visibly nervous when he said Dumbledore, "You go to school and try not to be in the limelight"
Andy scoffed and asked, "I don't understand you right now, according to your reasoning, Dumbledore is my enemy?" What the hell do you want to do when you're so afraid of him and throw me under the nose of your enemies?"
"You don't have to know now"
Old Jack sighed, and then said slowly, "You just need to get into Hogwarts with good use."
Andy actually guessed Old Jack's motives, according to Old Jack, he used to be a student of Grindelwald, but then he broke up, and then missed the old love to continue the bloodline for the family.
But Andy always felt that it was not so simple, after all, it was too strange to risk being imprisoned just for this one thing.
Andy didn't think much of it, though. After all, he doesn't have the right to choose now, he just wants to wait until he learns magic in the future and has a certain ability to protect himself, and then slowly figure out Old Jack's motives.
"I saw that this letter said to prepare a lot of things, I don't have any money"
Andy digressed from the subject, holding up the envelope in his hand and shaking it, saying that he needed to buy some textbooks, a set of clothes and a wand, which was a lot of money for him as a scavenger.
"I'll take you to buy it later, and then I'll help you prepare a place to live, and you can just wait for the start of school with peace of mind."
This is a minor problem for Jack, but he is now in a more or less stable mood, and it seems that Brown's identity has deceived the Hogwarts admissions people, and things continue to develop according to his ideas.
Andy asked suspiciously, "What about you, don't you continue to stay by my side and spy on me?" ”
"I can't stay here for long, or I'll be stared at by the damn Aurors again," Jack didn't want to explain too much to Andy, he walked to a room and said to Andy
"You sit in the living room for a while, I'll take you shopping when I'm ready"
Jack walked into the room and closed the door, leaving Andy alone in the living room, Andy was now gradually calming down after being bombarded with information from old Jack.
"Come to think of it, I'm going to Hogwarts now, I'm from the Grindelwald family, maybe I'm still a magical creature, Old Jack's intentions are unknown"
Andy sat down in a chair and quickly summed up the current situation, and then sighed, now his mood was excited and panicked.
I'm excited that I don't have to scavenge anymore in my life, and that I can still learn magic as a Harry fan, but I'm afraid that Old Jack's purpose and identity are unknown.
No matter what, Andy propped up his head with two small hands, "It's 1991?" ”
Andy suddenly realized something, and then he looked weird, this is not a good year.
For the wizarding world, he remembered clearly that the famous savior Harry. Mr. Potter enrolled in school this year, and then started the wheel of history and carried out the plot of the main story.
Isn't that more complicated at Hogwarts now, Savior, Voldemort, plus me, the remnant of Grindelwald.....
Andy complained in his heart, "But I just need to avoid the plot of the main story reasonably"
Andy doesn't want to get involved in the main story when his situation is still unclear.
Although he really wanted to participate in the Savior's adventure, the ghost knew that it was all in Dumbledore's control, and if he got in, he didn't think that waiting for Jack to teach him a simple Occlumency technique would prevent the best wizard in the world.
"Ready to go"
Jack didn't give Andy more time to think and rest, he came out of the room and grabbed Andy's clothes directly, and in a flash of light, the two disappeared in place.
"Anyway, can you stop being so rude" Although Andy had experienced apparition not long ago, he still couldn't stand this feeling, and he was stunned by the scene in front of him before he could finish speaking to Jack.
It was a dark street, and people in black wizard robes were hurrying about.
"This place is called Tumbledown Alley"
Jack didn't give Andy time to buffer, he quickly took Andy's hand and skillfully walked through the various alleys.
Andy looked around and was excited about everything here, Tumble Alley!
In my previous life, I wanted to see what the wizard's alley looked like countless times, and this time I finally got my wish.
The surroundings are all black bricks, and the shop windows are filled with unrecognizable items.
Most of the places are in the shape of snakes, guards, etc., and the whole street reveals an ominous atmosphere, and the wizards who come and go reveal malicious eyes towards their children, but perhaps because Jack's eyes are more malicious, no one comes to find fault.
Old Jack took Andy around and around to a house, Andy looked up at the plaque of the house, well, Andy didn't think that tattered wood was a plaque.
It says "Cassie Styling Shop"
Jack seemed to be familiar with Cassie, the owner of the shop, and he directly led Andy to push the door in and shout
"Cassie, come out and meet me"
The storefront is a one-story structure, but there seems to be a basement behind the cash register, and it was from this basement that the man named Cassie came up, with a hooked nose and gray eyes.
Cassie pushed his eyes, looking at Jack unkindly with his dark eyes
"Reckless fellow, you're not dead yet"
However, after seeing Andy next to him, he looked down at Andy and said in surprise, "Is that him?" You brought him here? Could it be?"
Old Jack immediately interrupted Cassie and said to him, "Don't talk nonsense, I want what you have prepared"
Cassie didn't answer Jack's words, but took out a black plastic bag from under the counter and handed it to Jack.
Jack opened the plastic bag, Andy saw what appeared to be a wand and a crystal ball inside, Jack checked it, and then took Andy to prepare to walk out.
"Don't lose sight, Jack, I'm going to get to know you better," Cassie said faintly as he leaned against the tattered old counter and faded away from Jack.
Jack didn't seem to hear Cassie's words, and after leaving Cassie's shop, he took Andy around to a residence and opened a room, and walked in with Andy.
"Listen, Andy, you're holding this wand and this crystal ball, this is what Cassie kept, and this crystal ball has a memory in it.
Is it belonging... Mr. Grindelwald's memories are stored by him personally, only Mr. Grindelwald's bloodline can be opened, and this wand is also the wand that Mr. Grindelwald used at the beginning."
Jack magically sealed the door and said to Andy using an anti-eavesdropping spell.
"Is that Cassie also a former student of Grindelwald?"
Andy asks like Jack, who seems to understand something through Cassie and Jack's actions and words, as if Cassie and Jack used to belong to Grindelwald's men, and then the two seem to be plotting something together through themselves.
As for what is planned. He didn't guess it now, could it be that he was going to Hogwarts to assassinate Dumbledore? Andy complained in his heart.
"Yes, but at the moment, the most important thing is to learn things through this memory ball, and this memory ball also has a method of brain occlusion."
Jack breathed a sigh of relief and said to Andy
"As for what you're thinking, I know it, although I don't steal minds, but I can see that you don't trust me, as for what we want to do, Andy, you're too weak now, I'll tell you what to do when you grow up"
Jack didn't say anything more to Andy, just handed the wand to Andy and handed the crystal ball to Andy.
"Now you point your wand at the crystal ball, I will unlock the magic ban on you, and you will be able to transmit the energy you will feel to the memory ball later."
With that, Jack waved his wand at Andy.
Andy only felt that his eyes began to hurt again, and then felt as if his body was filled with a strange energy fluid, he held back the pain, pointed the wand in his right hand at the crystal ball, and controlled the energy in his body to direct the memory ball through the wand.
Duang......
The crystal ball glowed with a faint yellow light, and then reversed through Andy's wand and wrapped Andy's whole body.
Andy felt so sleepy, as if he was dreaming, and was wandering in the dream....
When Andy gradually woke up, he opened his eyes and found that he couldn't control his body, he could only observe through the perspective in front of him, and he somewhat understood where this was.
I came to .....
Memories of Grindelwald!
............
(I'm still struggling with whether the protagonist needs a golden finger, and I originally planned to use the plot to promote the progress of the protagonist, but I feel that this will not be refreshing enough, and I am thinking about it...... )
