For Matthew Wakefield, he has always felt that he is not ready!

It all came so suddenly that it was unexpected.

Two years ago, when he knew from the beginning that this world was Gellert Grindelwald's victory line, Matthew had a certain amount of alarm in his heart...... But as he slowly learned about the wizarding world, he gradually felt that this wizarding world was not as terrifying as he imagined...... However, just when his vigilance was almost gone, the storm suddenly changed!

Gellert Grindelwald showed his terrifying strength overnight, baring his monstrous fangs!

No one knows how much has happened in recent months, or how much has changed......

Matthew can only confirm one thing, that is, the world is developing in an extremely terrifying vortex!

What's even worse is that he seems to have been caught up in this terrifying whirlpool.

......

He stopped in front of the tattered wooden signboard.

The Pig's Head Bar, a place that any decent wizard in Hogsmeade disdained, a place where people of all religions came and went.

I have to say that Aberforth Dumbledore hid himself very well...... He completely integrated himself into the place, while completely cutting off all contact with the outside world......

So much so that neither Voldemort nor Grindelwald realized that the greatest enemy, Albus Dumbledore's own brother, had been hiding himself so close to Hogwarts, and had been hiding for more than fifty years.

Honestly, Matthew was thankful to Aberforth (that is, that Mr. Percival). When he narrowly escaped into the hands of "Tom Gaunt", there is no doubt that he saved his life...... Although there is a certain premise for this, it did save his life.

But the Order of the Phoenix has fallen apart, and Grindelwald's men are in complete control.

Not to mention Aberforth, even Albus Dumbledore escaped from Newmontard Prison at this time and regained his greatest strength...... Matthew doesn't think he has the power to turn the tide either.

There is no chance of a comeback at all...... Unless something miracle happens......

In all fairness, my most rational choice would have been to follow Professor Slughorn's other objection...... Destroy the soul in that book, don't contact the waitress at the pig's head bar, and act as if nothing happened, and give Grindelwald allegiance to him?

But if you choose that, it seems a little too disdainful...... After all that has happened, even Slytherin won't be left untouched!

More importantly, can it really be as if nothing happened?

Anything that happens is sure to leave a trace!

Especially when your opponent is a terrifying wizard like Gellert Grindelwald. His all-seeing eye can probably see farther than most people...... Matthew has witnessed his terrifying power firsthand, in the face of the ancient Black Witch Morgana......

Professor Slughorn did hide well before he died, but he would leave a trace.

Even if it is only a little bit, one day, it will be noticed by Grindelwald......

Grindelwald was a benevolent man, but also an iron-faced and ruthless man...... Anyone who dares to thwart his plans will probably be "clear" by him...... Matthew didn't think that even if he lived in peace for two years, he wouldn't be liquidated by Grindelwald...... Especially when I was unintentionally involved so deeply......

So, in fact, for Matthew Wakefield, he has no choice!

Because, he has long been deeply involved in this whirlpool of terror......

It's not something you can do by lying on the deck and pretending to be dead.

......

However, after arriving at Hogsmeade and settling in Duke Honey, out of caution, Matthew did not choose to contact the "Mr. Percival".

Aberforth Dumbledore and his hog's head bar have most likely not been exposed, and Matthew is almost certainly ...... Grindelwald wasn't going to sit idly by and watch Dumbledore's own brother lurk on his couch all the time, especially since he was almost the highest-ranking member of the Order of the Phoenix......

But in such extraordinary times, it is better to be as cautious as possible.

The world is now full of Gellert Grindelwald's people, and Matthew doesn't think Hogsmeade has one.

So, he developed the habit of going out for a walk every night.

Running back and forth along Hogsmeade's central avenue for almost an hour...... After sweating profusely, and before the two broomsticks bar closes, rush over there and order a butterbeer from Mr. Rosmerta......

After drinking the delicious butterbeer, he returned to Duke Honey to eat, bathe, and sleep.

This is a regular habit that has been going on for more than a week.

Wizards who often travel in Hogsmeade at night are already familiar with this little wizard who works as a temporary worker at Duke Honey's candy shop and does strange "exercises" every night.

So at this moment—

Matthew Wakefield didn't stop and continued to trot down Central Boulevard.

Along the way, he meets Mr. Devis, who repairs magical equipment such as broomsticks, memory balls, brass binoculars, etc., who has a humble shop in Hogsmeade, then runs into Lady Padef, who has a cramped, slightly tacky little teahouse for couples, and the Cindis, who live in the southernmost part of Hogsmeade......

While smiling kindly at them, Matthew sweated profusely as he ran.

This time, however, he arrived at the two broomsticks a little later than usual......
