Reborn at Hogwarts

Standing in front of Ivan and Dumbledore at this moment was the house elf of the Vesemir family who had been missing for two full years: Frodo!

He was still wearing the same clothes when he disappeared, and although they looked very clean, they were covered with patches.

"Frodo?! Why do you..." Ivan looked at the house elf with half surprise and half anger, and he saw at a glance that the latter was holding a square tray with two empty plates stacked on top of it , sporadic food residues still stuck to it.

All this shows that Frodo may have been serving Grindelwald in Nurmengard during the period of his disappearance!

Ivan turned his head to look at Dumbledore, hoping that he could answer, but the old wizard didn't speak, but just pouted at Frodo, motioning Ivan to ask himself.

"Little master..." The house elf was obviously taken aback when he saw Ivan, and a pair of big protruding eyes were immediately covered with mist. His two bamboo pole-like arms trembled slightly, and the stacked plates also made a "crackling" sound.

"Why are you here? How long have you been here? Who brought you here? Are you serving Grindelwald here?" Ivan asked several questions in a row.

"Oh, little master, Frodo finally saw you..." the house-elf sobbed, the plate trembled more and more, and it was about to fall to the ground, Dumbledore quickly waved his wand , let the tray float up lightly.

Frodo sobbed and bowed to the old wizard.

"Little master... Frodo was brought here on the little master's birthday the year before last... Oh, August 31st, 1989, yes, Frodo will never forget this day..." Domesticated The elf trembled all over, wondering if he recalled some terrifying memories, "Since that day, Frodo has been here, serving the wizard who is at the top...he is really terrifying..."

He began to repeat the last sentence over and over again, and the whole person gradually began to feel a little dazed.

"Frodo! Calm down." Ivan had to interrupt him, he was worried that Frodo might go wrong if he repeated this again, "Do you remember who brought you here?"

That was his greatest worry now, aside from Frodo's health.

Unknowingly, from the Vesemir house, which prohibits apparation, a house-elf whose magic level may be stronger than an adult wizard to Nurmengard is brought to Nurmengard, although it may be because of the occupation of a family. People's attention is cheaply attracted by Alger Rozier, but his own ability is obviously beyond doubt.

Regarding Ivan's question, Frodo showed a confused expression.

He stared blankly at Ivan, and said eagerly, "I'm sorry, little master, I promised...I can't tell you..."

ha?

This answer was beyond Ivan's imagination.

House elves are a group of people who were enslaved in the ancient wizarding wars. They are often loyal to those ancient and powerful wizarding families, and they have worked for their masters unconditionally for generations, and they are proud of it.

It is precisely because of this kind of distorted thinking in Ivan's view that the house elves usually do not refuse the master's question, because it is a manifestation of "dereliction of duty" and "disloyalty".

In fact, Frodo seemed to think so, and after he refused to answer Ivan's question, he became flustered, and it wasn't long before he was holding his head, weeping, and facing the wall. bump away.

"...Bad Frodo! Frodo hid the truth from the young master! Frodo is an incompetent elf!" His crying voice echoed in the corridor, and Ivan and Dumbledore had to step forward to save him. He pulled away from the wall, but even so Frodo covered his face and wept loudly.

"Okay, Frodo, you go and put away the dishes first, and come to us later, can you? The kitchen is here, right?" Ivan knew that he couldn't get it from Frodo for a while. Useful news, I have to let him go to work first.

Frodo sobbed and nodded emphatically. He picked up the tray that was controlled by magic to float again, and walked downstairs slowly.

"Professor Dumbledore, do you know something?"

After Frodo walked away, Ivan looked at Dumbledore suspiciously.

He remembered very clearly that the old man had a mysterious look just now, obviously he knew about it long ago.

"I knew it not long ago." Dumbledore did not deny it, and the old wizard looked at Ivan calmly, with a sincere tone, "Frodo begged me not to tell you this. Bring you here, so I'm hiding it for the time being, I hope you can understand."

Since it was Frodo's own request, Ivan had nothing to say. He could only nod his head to express his understanding, while secretly thinking about how to get Frodo to reveal the identity of the person who brought him here.

He already has a preliminary guess, but still needs final confirmation.

And, of course, bring him home from Nurmengard.

"Let's go, he's ahead." Seeing that Ivan's mood quickly calmed down, Dumbledore nodded slightly and led him on.

After a while, the two stopped in front of a cell.

It was a very dark room, without windows, except for a gleam of light from a crack in the black stones that formed the walls.

There was no entertainment of any kind, just a hard stone bed with a neatly folded ragged blanket.

It was empty.

"Professor Dumbledore, here..." Ivan couldn't help looking at Dumbledore.

"There." The old wizard raised his finger to the next room.

Just as he spoke, a person came out from the next room.

An old man.

He looked tired, but his blue eyes, very similar to Dumbledore's, were sparkling. From the outline of his cheeks, he could vaguely see his youthful handsomeness, but time still left indelible marks on him.

The moment he saw the old man, Ivan's nerves tensed subconsciously.

Gellert Grindelwald.

This old man who looks like he has no power to restrain a chicken now made almost all wizards in Europe and America frightened by his vicious reputation decades ago. In his heyday, he held the Elder Wand, one of the Deathly Hallows, and was considered to be the most famous in the world. The most powerful wizard, no one is his opponent except Dumbledore.

Looking at the two people in front of him, the old man was not surprised.

"You guys came earlier than I thought." He said lightly, "Come in."
