Hogsmeade Village, Hogsmeade Bar.

Li Chuan and Newt stepped out of the fireplace and patted the dust on their bodies vigorously.

"It's Saturday, and Dumbledore usually stays here."

Newt said as he turned his head to look for something in the bar, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

"Look, he's there!"

Looking along where Newt's finger was pointing, Li Chuan saw a middle-aged bearded male wizard wearing a knitted shirt on his upper body and suit pants on his lower body.

It was Albus Dumbledore who was at the peak of his magical abilities in middle age.

Albus was obviously aware of the presence of the two, put down the honey beer in his hand, and beckoned to the two with some surprise.

"Dumbledore!"

"Professor Dumbledore!"

Newt and Li Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Dumbledore.

At this time, the relationship between the two and Dumbledore can be seen just by the title.

Although Newt and Li Chuan's predecessor, Tom Foley, both attended Hogwarts and were taught by Dumbledore about Defence Against the Dark Arts.

But it is clear that the relationship between Newt and Dumbledore is more like a friend than a teacher-student, so he calls Dumbledore by his first name when he sees him.

Newt is Hufflepuff, Dumbledore is Gryffindor, originally the two should not have an additional friendship in addition to the normal teacher-student relationship, after all, it is not a house, just a single course.

And when Newt was still halfway through school, he was expelled from school for taking the blame for his crush on his sister-in-law.

It's just that Dumbledore especially admired Newt's character, so he liked this student extraordinarily.

He also tried his best to help Newt when he was expelled, and although he still couldn't prevent Newt from being expelled, he also helped Newt retain the right to continue using his wand to cast spells.

Li Chuan knew from Tom's memory that the original Tom, a Slytherin student, was just a very inconspicuous one of Dumbledore's more than twenty years of teaching career.

So when he saw Dumbledore, he still addressed him in a more polite way.

"Newt, will you come and see me? That's a rare thing. ”

Dumbledore first greeted Newt happily, then looked at Li Chuan next to him, looked up and down, and then said with a smile:

"You're Tom, I have an impression of you, and I remember when I was learning how to fight the Boggart, the three-headed rune snake was the three-headed runi snake, because I was scared by it when I was a kid when I strayed into Tumbledown Alley."

"Professor, you have such a good memory, you still remember it so clearly after so many years."

Li Chuan smiled, looking very surprised.

Dumbledore was right, it was basically the same as Tom's memory, but that didn't mean that Dumbledore really cared about his original form.

It's just that Dumbledore has memories that are almost unforgettable.

Dumbledore could become the world's top master, proficient in all kinds of magic, alchemy, and the language of almost all humans and magical creatures in the world, which would be impossible without a good memory.

Now this is almost because he values the strength he showed in New York, so he deliberately said this.

Although he is the White Lord, Dumbledore is different from the simple Newt, in addition to his wisdom beyond ordinary people, he also has a very high emotional intelligence, and when to say what kind of words, Dumbledore is actually very clear.

"Your talent in herbology has always been good, but I didn't expect that your magic strength has also improved a lot after graduation. Absford, bring us three glasses of butterbeer and some toffee finger cakes. ”

Dumbledore patted Li Chuan's shoulder to show closeness, and then shouted at his brother at the bar.

He is now in a more awkward position, not only to stop Grindelwald, but also because the Blood Alliance cannot personally intervene, so he is not trusted by the Ministry of Magic, so he can only find a way to unite all the forces around him that can be united.

Newt had secretly arranged for Newt to send the Thunderbird home in New York, also to prevent Grindelwald from finding what might be his nephew.

It's just that he didn't expect Grindelwald to be sent to prison by Newt, an Auror from the New York Ministry of Magic, and Tom Foley, a wizard who had never entered his eyes.

The key may be that his nephew, Credence, who has the blood of the Dumbledore family, was also adopted by Tom Foley in the end.

That's why he mentioned in his letters to Newt a few times that he wanted to meet Tom Foley, and if Tom Foley could try to get into his camp, then he would have another chance of winning against Grindelwald.

By the way, it can be further verified whether Credence is the son of his younger brother Alberfford.

In this way, the three of them were sitting in the pig's head bar, drinking beer and eating toffee's finger cakes while chatting enthusiastically.

It was mainly Li Chuan and Dumbledore talking, while Newt was mostly listening, and he was not good at chatting.

"Professor, I know you're the only wizard in the entire wizarding world who can compete with Grindelwald right now, why aren't you willing to take matters into your own hands?"

After talking about the relationship and feeling a lot closer, Li Chuan pretended to be puzzled and asked.

Newt, who usually listened to the conversation between the two, couldn't help but prick up his ears.

Dumbledore looked at Li Chuan and knew that if he wanted to enlist the help of this very good student, it would definitely not work if he didn't confess something.

So he also began to talk about the love and hate between himself and Grindelwald, as well as some of his own life experiences.

It all started with his sister Ariana, who was attacked by three Muggle boys at the age of six, leaving her unwilling to learn magic anymore.

His father was imprisoned in Azkaban for helping his sister teach three Muggle boys a lesson in violating the law of secrecy, where he died.

As a result, he didn't have a good idea of Muggles at first, and was even a supporter of anti-Muggle wizards.

Gifted, he planned to make a career in the wizarding world after graduation, but was accidentally killed by his mother's outburst of his sister, and had to return to Godric's Valley to take care of his sister.

At that time, he met Grindelwald, who had come to the valley in search of the Deathly Hallows, and the two made a blood pact at first sight that they could not harm each other, and resolved to leave the valley together for a great magical reform.

At this time, his younger brother Albert Ford, who had returned from school, found out about this, and he objected to his brother's neglect of taking care of his sister and going to Grindelwald to carry out magical reforms.

Grindelwald cast the Diamond Heart Curse directly at Alberfford, and Dumbledore tried to stop it, so it turned into a three-man scuffle.

His sister Ariana wanted to help her death when she was struck by a spell in the chaos, which made Dumbledore regret it for the rest of his life and began to review everything about himself.

After a few years in wizarding and Muggle society, he gave up his initial extremes and returned to Hogwarts as a regular teacher.
