Reborn at Hogwarts

Chapter 74 So, what is the price?

For the visit of the two, Grindelwald seemed rather dull.

After a simple greeting, he returned to the simple cell without even a window, sat casually on the edge of the stone bed, and covered his legs with the thin blanket.

From his body, there is no shadow of the once high-spirited Dark Lord. At this moment, Grindelwald seems to have been worn away by the long time of living alone, and has become gentler and more indifferent.

Seeing that both Ivan and Dumbledore were standing motionless in front of the door, Grindelwald asked indifferently: "What? Why don't you come in and sit down? Albus? And this... kid?"

He smiled imperceptibly.

Dumbledore was silent, staring at Grindelwald suddenly became extremely complicated.

Ivan's eyes moved back and forth on these two legendary old wizards.

He could feel that after Grindelwald spoke, the atmosphere in the room became a little weird.

Could it be... Can you hear some unknown and exciting news from them?

Just when Ivan's heart of gossip, which had been completely dusty since time travel, faintly showed signs of revival, Dumbledore suddenly turned to him and said: "Ivan, I'm going back first, I will pick you up before school starts, don’t worry."

After saying these words very abruptly, the old wizard turned around and hurriedly left the top floor of the tower.

"Hey... ah?"

Ivan was taken aback by Dumbledore's words. He thought he only needed to stay in Nurmengard for a short period of time, but according to what the old bee said, did he want to stay here until the start of school?

He subconsciously wanted to call Dumbledore to stop, but thinking of his purpose of coming here, Ivan gritted his teeth again and held back the words in his stomach.

He glanced at Grindelwald.

After saying that, Grindelwald didn't say anything, just looked at them with a very indifferent expression.

Ivan couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Why promise Dumbledore? Are you uncomfortable at home by yourself? When you are bored, you can go to Weasley's house to play, or you can chat with Hermione. Zoe also said that she would come to visit at home...

Why do you have to go to this shitty place and stare blankly at an old man who has left a strong mark in the history of dark wizards?

He couldn't help but think of what happened in his home a few hours ago.

...

"A teacher?"

Ivan looked at Dumbledore in astonishment.

It never occurred to him that the reason for the old bee's hasty visit was this.

At this time, the two were standing under a tree not far from Vesemir's house, with a thick brick wall behind them, and the surroundings were silent, suitable for plotting plots.

This was Dumbledore's request. He hoped to have a private chat with Ivan, and the Vesemirs, who had already confirmed Dumbledore's identity, had no reason to refuse.

"Yes, a...a teacher who will allow you to truly discover your potential." Dumbledore replied with a smile.

His tone was quite normal, but no matter what Ivan thought, he felt that there was some conspiracy hidden in it.

Doesn't make sense?

Why did the old bee find him a teacher out of nowhere?

Is it because he was chased so badly by Paracelsus, or because he felt ashamed to be trampled under by the black-robed wizard?

There is no reason at all.

Ivan's heart suddenly moved slightly.

Could it be... This old bee really wants me to escort Harry Potter, so he wants to help me improve my strength?

hehe……

Only this matter, Ivan would never agree.

If he was passively involved in a situation like the Horcrux Diary, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and rush forward, but if he "actively" followed Harry Potter's ass to blend in the plot of the original work, that would be absolutely impossible.

Don't even think about it.

"Your 'incarnation' has almost reached the bottleneck stage?" At this moment, Dumbledore suddenly asked.

Ivan was slightly taken aback, then nodded reluctantly.

Although Paracelsus bragged about "incarnation" in his letter, and even bluntly said that "incarnation is the ultimate answer to transfiguration", but in fact, Ivan, who has been meticulously practicing incarnation for two years, is not like this thought.

So far, the incarnation technique has not brought him any special benefits.

The enhancement of perception is the only obvious benefit.

But other than that, Ivan had to admit that the biggest function of this spell in his hands was to "escape for life". If there was a time when he needed to face the enemy head-on, it would be more convenient and effective to use the spell in the traditional sense.

Maybe it will be different after his magic power grows further, but at present, the benefits brought by the incarnation technique will stop here.

Dumbledore seemed to have read Ivan's thoughts.

"Remember what I told you before? When we were in the school hospital," said Dumbledore, "Paracelsus—is a complete genius. Not only alchemy, he has some skills in many fields." The amazing research results are only because of some of his personal narrow thoughts, which have not been made public. The same is true for Grindelwald. I think if Voldemort hadn't turned out, he would undoubtedly sit firmly in the On the throne of 'The Strongest Dark Wizard of Modern Times'.

"And the 'Avatar Technique' was jointly developed by these two geniuses and even pioneers in their respective fields. It is the crystallization of their wisdom. It is more - I want to say, more High-end magic. There is such a door leading to the mysteries of magic right in front of you, almost within reach, if I were you, I’m afraid I’ve already tried my best to smash the door.”

After hearing this, Ivan did not have a very violent reaction as Dumbledore expected, but asked unusually calmly:

"Then, at what cost, Professor?"

His meaning is obvious: why are you helping me? Is there something you need me to do?

There is no good intention without reason in the world, this is what Ivan already understood in his previous life.

The relationship between myself and Dumbledore is closer than that of ordinary students. Perhaps because of mastering Grindelwald's secret knowledge, the old wizard will have some affection or fear for him-but Ivan thinks this is not enough So that Dumbledore can help him "break open" the door leading to the mysteries of magic.

Dumbledore must have his purpose in doing this.

But after Ivan raised a question, Dumbledore laughed as expected.

"You guessed it right, Ivan," he said, "I do have one thing I need you to do."

"Can you tell me, Professor?"

"I—— foresaw some things. I hope that if one day in the future, Hogwarts encounters an insurmountable danger, you can stand up bravely and contribute to the school." Dumbledore said. He looked at Ivan, quietly waiting for the boy's reply.

"Professor Dumbledore, I'm just a child." Dumbledore's words made Ivan have an inexplicable sense of weirdness. It seemed that these words should not be said to himself. Could it be that he accidentally slacked off at some point and was caught by him? Have you seen the follow-up plot of the original book?

That's even more unreasonable. If Dumbledore really saw it, then what he should do is not to touch the ring that was cursed by Voldemort, and then try his best to protect Harry Potter from growing up.

After thinking about it carefully, he thought that there was no trap in Dumbledore's words, so Ivan nodded: "If the school needs me, I will."

He saw Dumbledore laughing heartily.

"I'm very happy to get your promise, Ivan." The old wizard's mood seemed to become brighter all of a sudden, "Then let's say goodbye to your parents and set off quickly. Our destination can be in A place far away."

"Very far? Where is it?"

"Austria, Nurmengard."

Ask for a recommendation ticket. By the way, is there anyone who can invest in it? Put together a 100 investment...
