Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 688: The challenge to Dumbledore
The overwhelming black monsters and terrifying giant mouths seemed to be paused under Xiao En's words.
They moved stiffly like short-circuited mechanical creatures, and then hung down their shaking parts as if they had lost their energy.
Armand Bolton's pupils shrank extremely quickly, and the hand that was not holding the wand subconsciously touched his inner pocket.
"Out of body ()" Sean just waved his wand lazily, and he stood there dumbfounded.
However, to Xiao En's surprise, under such a powerful Imperius Curse, the person in charge of this arrest quickly showed a struggling expression.
"The strength is pretty good... almost catching up with me in this world..." Sean secretly sighed.
He has already discovered that in this timeline, the strength of many wizards has improved considerably, whether it is the little Barty he is familiar with, or Armand Bolton, whom he has never seen before.
Is it the effect of the magic washing mentioned before... Interesting...
Shawn didn't give the other party a chance to continue struggling. Armand Bolton's eyes lost their luster as he waved his wand again.
He respectfully took out what he was going to take out from his arms just now, a black rhomboid crystal.
It is the obsessive body.
Xiao En took the obsessive body and looked it over, and it was basically the same as the one in his hands in the present world.
This thing has a lot of uses, and it also hides a lot of secrets. You can try to study it on this timeline... After thinking about it, Xiao En put the obsessive body into his arms.
He looked at Armand Bolton with dull eyes, and suddenly showed an incomprehensible smile.
——
"Son, are you familiar with this place?"
In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, an old man stood on the railing on the second floor and looked out at the scenery outside the window.
"I'm not familiar with it." The petite silver-haired girl in the uniform of the captain of the guard shook her head expressionlessly.
"This was once the prison where the first Dark Lord used to imprison opponents—" The old man turned around, and it was Dumbledore.
He looks no different from the kind old man in this world. His lake blue eyes under the lens reveal wisdom and tolerance, and there is a reassuring and peaceful smile on his face.
Dumbledore patted the railing: "Stephanie, what do you think, how about imprisoning Sean here later?"
Stephanie's expression didn't change, she said calmly: "Of course it's up to you, sir."
"Hehe, I still prefer you to call me Professor, Hogwarts is one of the most important places in my life." Dumbledore smiled kindly, "By the way, Armand Bolton, how long have they been leaving?"
Stephanie glanced at the time and replied: "Twelve hours and three minutes, but no news has come."
"Of course there will be no news—" Dumbledore took off his glasses, wiped them casually with the sleeve of his robe, and put them back on again. I don't know if it was because they were not wiped clean, but his lake blue eyes became blurred. "Miss Granger is an outstanding student. If those things hadn't happened, she would be... in the sixth grade now, right?"
Stephanie didn't answer, but just listened quietly.
Dumbledore turned around and pressed the railing again, with emotion in his tone: "They are all outstanding good boys, brave, loyal, and full of adventurous spirit. In addition, under the leadership of Sean, the people of the Golden Dawn have a fearless spirit, which I appreciate very much—although it will also bring a lot of headaches, such as now..."
He spread his hands humorously: "The actions against Sean will always be exposed. I planted spies in the Golden Dawn, and they also planted spies around me... Stephanie, do you have any thoughts on this?"
Stephanie will always have that expression, except when Golden Dawn and Sean are mentioned, a trace of disdain and hatred will flash in her eyes.
"I suggest to carry out a general screening, Veritaserum, Imperius Curse, and Polyjuice Potion are all used—" She looked at Dumbledore flatly, "Not only the people in our guards, but also the staff of Hogwarts should also be screened."
Dumbledore looked at her with interest for a while, and then showed some embarrassment: "This is very troublesome, those are my colleagues, my comrades-in-arms, I can't treat them like this."
The implication is very clear, he can't do it himself, just like Hogwarts still maintains some dignity now.
Stephanie's intelligence is not only in learning, she also goes a long way on the road of trying to figure out other people's psychology.
"First...professor, I hope you will conduct an inspection on me first, and then I will inspect all the staff. Afterwards, please deprive me of my position as a punishment."
Admiration appeared in Dumbledore's eyes: "Frankly speaking, it would be nice if I could talk to Mr. Ollivander as easily as I talk to you."
"That's my grandfather's personal style, please forgive me, Professor."
"No, no, no, don't get me wrong, I have always admired Mr. Ollivander... However, these things can be left for later."
Stephanie nodded, and then she finally showed some doubts: "Professor, since you know that our actions against Wallop will be exposed, why did you make Armand Bolton fully armed, and even gave him back that?"
Dumbledore smiled: "You and Sean are actually very familiar, right?"
Stephanie nodded without hesitation: "I used to be very familiar most of the time. If some things hadn't been exposed, I would be like Granger now."
"Then I'm really lucky... However, since you also know Sean's character and behavior style, you should also understand that he inherited his teacher's terrifying ability to read people's hearts. Unfortunately, he also inherited his teacher's extremely proud character—of course, he is just a very proud person."
"He is absolutely vigilant against me, but he is also proud of his ability—unsurprisingly, Armand Bolton should have been caught by now." Dumbledore sighed, "Sean's progress is too fast, so fast that I find it unbelievable, and I even feel that there is a huge organization behind him to provide him with all the help. Of course, the fact is that there is no. Such a him, if I don't personally act, others basically can't do anything about him."
"However, if I also participate in this operation, the news will also be passed on - when Sean knows the news, he will not take any risky actions. You see, this kid is like this, conceited and good at taking risks, but sometimes he is more cautious than me, an old man who is about to enter the grave."
Stephanie nodded suddenly: "So, you are..."
"Well, I did some tricks - as long as I don't show up, Sean will definitely not be able to resist the urge to arrest a living person for interrogation. Poor Armand Bolton should be tortured back and forth by various interrogation methods. Of course, before that, he will definitely check Armand Bolton to make sure I won't find him."
Stephanie frowned: "What should I do?"
Dumbledore showed it, he seemed to be holding light spots in his hands, and one of the floating light spots had been disconnected: "He has found my spell and broken it-but, I just want him to do so."
This kind old man finally showed his cold side. He smiled softly, and said something chilling: "Armande Bolton is really a loyal subordinate, he volunteered his life——"
A fluttering ring appeared in Dumbledore's hand. He waved his wand lightly, and a transparent figure screaming in pain emerged, even Stephanie was startled.
"He allowed me to split his soul to make a horcrux—coincidentally, I know some strange magic that can locate the owner's location through a horcrux—" Dumbledore's calm smile made Stephanie's hair stand on end, "This is a tracker that can't be cracked or discovered, haha."
"Let's go, Stephanie, let's meet Sean together."
Stephanie felt cold in her heart, but now she could only nod her head and agree: "Yes, professor! I'll call someone right away!"
Dumbledore waved his hand: "No, no, the two of us will do - to be precise, please forgive my arrogance, I am enough alone, but I think it is also a good choice to let you vent your anger a little bit."
Stephanie showed the joy of getting revenge in due time, but she was thinking about the countermeasures in her mind: "Thank you, professor."
"Let's go—"
——
The air twisted, and the figures of Dumbledore and Stephanie appeared, and the old man looked forward. There was a public cemetery, and there was a gloomy atmosphere everywhere.
"Sure enough, there are a lot of magic spells, Sean is still very careful." Dumbledore said so, but he walked straight in like this, without touching any of the magic spells.
Stephanie followed silently, she was already considering whether to touch the magic spell directly to remind Sean to escape.
However, Dumbledore is right in front of her, and she knows one thing - this old man is the most powerful and terrifying wizard in the world, and her rash behavior may not be able to remind Sean, but will completely expose herself.
What to do...how to do...think of a way...
Dumbledore was still walking calmly and quickly towards the interior of the cemetery, but at this time, there was already a faint flicker of fire in front of him.
Dumbledore smiled: "We found him—"
Stephanie has silently clenched her wand, Sean should be able to entangle Dumbledore for a long time, she is going to attack Dumbledore directly——
Passing around a tall tombstone, Dumbledore even tapped his wand, presenting a pale flower to the tomb owner whom he had never met.
They did not touch any spells and appeared before the fire.
The scene in front of him stunned Dumbledore for a moment, while Stephanie breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no sign of Sean, only Armand Bolton hanging on the shackles of the cross, the latter lowered his hands and head like Jesus.
Dumbledore was not angry, but just laughed after a brief absence: "He is smarter and more cautious than I imagined-but, look, he is still the same, bold and trying to provoke me."
Stephanie immediately said: "Professor, do you want to search around?"
"No need, he should have left long ago——"
Before he finished speaking, Armand Bolton, who was hanging on the shackles of the cross, suddenly trembled.
He raised his head tremblingly, and immediately showed delighted eyes after seeing that the person in front of him was Dumbledore: "Mr. Dumbledore——"
Halfway through the speech, Armand Bolton rapidly inflated like a hot air balloon, and then exploded.
Plasma, eyeballs, internal organs, and various fragments of the human body splashed out.
The brown-gray eyeballs belonging to Armand Bolton fell at Dumbledore's feet, and there was great horror and infinite unwillingness in those pupils.
Dumbledore finally restrained his smile, he paused for a moment, and picked up Armand Bolton's eyeballs.
After a while, he said a little unhappy: "Just like his teacher, he always likes to do things that go too far, innocent Armand."
Dumbledore carefully put his eyeballs into a box, then took out his wand, closed his eyes and felt for a while: "He even knows how to seal the obsessive body..."
Speaking, he turned his head to look at Stephanie, and then pushed his glasses: "Let's go, kid, but the big screening you mentioned before may need to be advanced."
"Yes, Professor."
——
The headmaster's office at Hogwarts was the same as before. Dumbledore sat on the stool and thought for a while after returning here, then he took out the intact eyeball that Armand Bolton had left behind and looked at it.
After a while, he seemed unable to bear to look at Armand Bolton again, and he put his eyeballs back into the box and put them in the drawer.
On the wall, the principals of the past did not say a word during this period, they just exchanged incomprehensible eyes.
After staying for a while, Dumbledore left the principal's office. At this moment, the portraits began to discuss in a low voice.
"Whose eyeball is that?"
"I don't know..."
"But ~IndoMTL.com~ Albus is so wrong now, do we really want to let him go like this?"
"We are dead, we are just oil paintings now, what can we do? It is our duty to do what we can for the headmaster of Hogwarts."
"Even if the current principal is gone on the road to darkness? Wake up!"
"Then you can give us a solution. The authority of Hogwarts has been fully controlled by Albus. Everything in the castle must obey his orders. Even a torch is his eyes. What can we do?"
When the portraits of the headmaster were making noise, no one noticed that the eyeball lying in the drawer rolled slightly.
"Tsk, sure enough, Professor Dumbledore is still just an extremely powerful wizard, and has not yet mastered a higher level of power - but, after finally sneaking into the castle, how to move is a problem..."
