The official's hand holding the note was shaking, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

There was only one sentence on the note.

"A holiday."

Below this sentence is also written the name of the other party.

Grindelwald

Wizards elsewhere may not know the name Grindelwald, but as an Austrian wizard who grew up listening to the story of this name, his influence on the land is too great.

Neither Voldemort nor the Dark Lord in Austria was as good as Grindelwald's.

He recognized this handwriting, it was indeed that person's handwriting, but he should be locked up in the deepest part of the tower now, there are countless magic mechanisms in the tower, and there are Aurors patrolling the periphery, strictly guarding and controlling it layer by layer, not even a fly or mosquito can fly out, how did he do it, how could it be

Did he come out?

In a trance, he seemed to think of some gossip that Grindelwald was not taken to prison, but was voluntarily imprisoned in the Tower, and could come out whenever he wanted.

Then he thought about the account of Grindelwald in the Ministry of Magic documents

Grindelwald has the blood of a prophet and has an eye that can see through the future.

At the time, he thought it was incredible.

But now it is happening, right in front of his eyes.

A simple sentence on the note, but it seemed that he had already known the plans of the Ministry of Magic, and it was full of threats.

The Ministry of Magic official seemed to see a majestic, gray-haired old wizard standing in front of him, saying in an unquestioning tone: I'm not discussing this with you, I'm just informing you.

The sheer pressure left him a little breathless.

This matter is no longer something he can handle, and it is too scary to have to report this matter as soon as possible.

"Mr. Dumbledore, I have an urgent matter to report to the leadership, please wait a moment."

The Ministry of Magic official quickly got up from his chair.

"It's what he wrote."

Although he didn't see the content of the note, the old Dumbledore wouldn't have known that it must have been the other party's doing, otherwise he wouldn't be so frightened.

The official was stunned when he heard Dumbledore's words, and Dumbledore knew that he had not guessed wrong, so he was relieved: "Don't worry, he didn't come out, he should have passed on the news by some other means." ”

"He's best at this, and that's how it used to be."

The tone that seemed to be talking about an old friend reminded the Ministry of Magic official that Grindelwald hadn't been defeated by this Dumbledore.

"Mr. Dumbledore, I need your help."

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, he said.

"During a holiday, only these students go in and leave before school starts."

Dumbledore said that he wanted the exact same time as Grindelwald, as if it had been agreed a long time ago.

In fact, the two have not seen each other for decades, and they have not even exchanged a letter.

Theoretically, Grindelwald didn't know about the fact that he had brought Dudley and them.

"You can tell the new Minister of Magic, and I think he'll agree."

The Ministry of Magic official left to find his superiors.

An hour later he came with 'good news'.

'A vacation is fine, but you have to leave before school starts, and Dumbledore has to stay inside the tower lest that dangerous person do anything dangerous. ’

Dumbledore was silent for a while, judging by his micro-expression, he didn't want to enter the place, but he agreed.

"Let's go."

In the deepest part of the Austrian forest, at the junction of mountain peaks, stands a tall watchtower, the Newmengard Tower, or more appropriately called the Newmengard Castle.

Grindelwald, the famous dark wizard in the wizarding world, was imprisoned here.

Speaking of captivity, that's just the Austrian Ministry of Magic putting gold on his face and proclaiming good words, strictly speaking, he just lives here and no longer goes out, and it should be called 'self-imprisonment'.

He was the only one in the entire prison.

As Dumbledore had commented in the original books, if he wanted to, even if he was imprisoned in Azkaban, he could escape from prison as easily as if he had left his back garden.

Grindelwald is a wizard of the same level as him.

As long as they don't want to, there is no one and no place to stay.

And this castle was once the base built by Grindelwald, where he started, and he once gathered a large number of wizards with the same dreams as him in this castle, and continued to spread his ideals in Europe and even in the United States, trying to turn the whole world upside down.

If it weren't for Dumbledore's resolute opposition and the failure of the plan, perhaps the entire wizarding world would have changed completely.

"It's a little eerie, like where some of the big villains live."

Dudley commented as he looked at the gloomy dark clouds over the castle.

Led by the Austrian Aurors, they came to the castle gates.

"Mr. Dumbledore, he's in the deepest part of the castle."

After saying this, the Aurors stood at the door, without any further guidance for them.

"You're not taking us in?" Harry asked, surprised.

Whose jailer takes someone to prison and doesn't take it halfway through?

I didn't even see the cell.

The Aurors said solemnly, "We have been rejected by this castle, and there is no way to move on. ”

Harry:?

Being rejected by the castle must be an excuse for, and being rejected by Grindelwald is the truth, but from the Aurors' faces as usual, there is no embarrassment, and there is a high probability that these Aurors even believe this statement when they say it.

The gate of the castle was slowly pushed open, and countless dust fell with it, and it was clear that no one had entered for a long time.

Not long after entering the castle, Ron was heard muttering, "There must be vampires in this kind of castle." ”

"You should see less, Ropo Lake."

Draco looked at him a little speechless, "This is where the dark wizard Grindelwald is imprisoned, how could there be such a thing as a vampire." ”

Even if there was before, it was gone the moment the other party moved in.

As a pure-blood wizard, how could Malfoy not know that the famous Dark wizard Grindelwald at the beginning, and even his grandfather Abraxas Malfoy were likely to have directly or indirectly participated in a Grindelwald rally.

Actually, it's no wonder that Ron feels this way, it's noon, because of the dark clouds above, looking at the castle has the illusion of coming to dusk, if there are a few red-eyed crows on the branches of the nearby trees, it will give people the feeling of walking into a horror house.

"Since everybody thinks it's dark."

Dudley said as he reached into his pocket and fumbled inside.
