The next day, Crouch packed his luggage and moved directly into the Ministry of Magic.

He had a good reason. The World Cup final was less than a month away, and the Holy Grail War would last for a year. Living in the Ministry of Magic would allow him to handle work anytime and anywhere.

This dedicated performance impressed the employees of the Department of International Magical Cooperation.

Percy, who had just joined the company, worshipped him as an idol, and the topic of conversation every day when he returned home was never far from Crouch.

The twins congratulated him one after another, and finally found their biological father after 18 years.

Then the two were severely beaten by Mrs. Weasley.

The one who felt most uneasy about Crouch's strange behavior was Fudge.

In order to suppress Crouch's sudden surge in popularity, Fudge also followed suit. He almost never returned to his manor, and strolled around the floors every day to show his presence.

It was also to suppress Crouch and prevent him from contacting people from other departments.

But it was inevitable that, because of the needs of work, he still watched Crouch and the Director of the Sports Department, Ludo Bagman, getting closer and closer.

This made Fudge even more fortunate, and even grateful to Wayne.

Fortunately, Wayne got Scrimgeour out of office, so he could replace him with his confidant Kingsley Shacklebolt.

You should know that Scrimgeour had expressed his appreciation and recognition of Crouch's tough style more than once before.

Now Fudge controls half of the Law Enforcement Department, and has also joined forces with the Transportation Department to control the Department of Magical Creatures.

No matter how active Crouch is, he is still far behind him.

...

On the other side.

Wayne also left London a few days later and went to the Orleans Forest in central France.

As soon as the summer vacation came, Fleur and Gabrielle came to the gathering place of the Veela here to accompany their grandmother, and Wayne "zero" zero two seven" two seven" was also officially meeting the parents.

Furong's grandmother is almost eighty years old, but as a Veela, she ages much slower than humans, and she doesn't look much older than Furong.

With light blonde hair and skin like moonlight, she looks like a fairy.

She's just a little short, only about 1.2 meters tall...

Wayne suspected that Furong's grandfather had some special hobbies, such as a big horse pulling a small cart...

"Are you the little wizard that little Furong always mentioned?"

The grandmother was also looking at Wayne curiously. Not only her, but many Veela in the Veela tribe came over.

The probability of humans and Veela combining is still quite low, and there are not many mixed-blood Veela.

However, after seeing the boy, almost all the Veela were brightened.

The Veela race is full of beauty lovers, and Wayne almost grew up with their aesthetics.

"Hello, grandma."

Wayne greeted respectfully, and Furong's grandmother withdrew her gaze.He nodded with his hands on his waist.

"However, little Furong's eyesight is still good."

"If the old man could be as handsome as you, there wouldn't be such a big obstacle for us to be together."

The old man sitting next to her smiled bitterly.

Wayne suddenly became playful and quietly released his magical animal affinity talent.

In an instant, whether it was Furong, her grandmother, or the dozen or so Veelas around him, their eyes changed when they looked at him, revealing a sense of closeness.

They suddenly found that Wayne was just standing there, but he looked much more pleasing to the eye.

"Aunt Tulisa, Aunt Ortiz, why are you so close!" Furong found something wrong and quickly stood in front of Wayne.

At some point, the Veelas who were originally far away all came over, looking like they were going to eat the boy alive.

The look in their eyes scared Furong a little.

Wayne also quickly turned off his affinity for magical animals. If he continued playing, something bad would happen.

Several Veelas calmed down, and one of them couldn't help asking, "Little Fleur, does your boyfriend like to keep pets? Would you mind keeping a Veela?"

"Would you mind keeping a few more? We don't eat much."

"I can pay for the food." Even a Veela whispered in the distance.

When Fleur saw the elders who came around to show their courtesy, she felt her scalp tingling...

She suddenly regretted letting Wayne go back to her parents' home with her...

.........

In order to avoid some uncontrollable situations, the Delacour sisters kept a close eye on Wayne during the days he was in the Veela tribe.

During the day, Fleur went to learn Veela magic, and Gabrielle would follow Wayne closely.

And at night, Fleur was the one who accompanied him again.

It can be seen that Fleur is determined to win this Holy Grail War.

A total of seven schools participated. If they can win the championship, Beauxbatons' reputation will surely rise greatly. Even Madame Maxime attaches great importance to this and has come to the Orleans Forest to check Fleur's progress.

When she saw Wayne was there, Madame Maxime was very surprised. The first sentence was...

"Mr. Lawrence, do you think Fleur has any competitors in Hogwarts with her current strength and accomplishment?"

Wayne was speechless. Why was he so anxious to find out the strength of his opponent?

Just kidding, he is the successor of Hogwarts, how could he reveal the information of his own school?

"Wayne, just tell me~" Fleur hugged his arm at the right time.

Seventeen years old is the best age for a girl, and the breath of youth is blowing in her face.

Wayne is a man who can withstand the test, but what is the relationship between Fleur and him? Is there anything that cannot be said?

"Madame Maxime, Fleur's current level of magic is also considered excellent in Hogwarts. The newly graduated student council presidentI am a little better than her, and one of my friends is about the same as her. "

Wayne was talking about Percy.

Percy's talent is not much better than his peers, but his strongest point is his firm mind.

At a young age, he knew what he wanted and worked hard for it.

In order to enter the Ministry of Magic and join a promising department, Percy always regarded grades as his stepping stone, so he never slacked off, which is the main reason why he is better than most students.

In fact, this is also very common in ordinary people's student period. Many people can endure loneliness and can study intensively for more than ten hours a day, but some people have a splitting headache after reading for half an hour.

The gap is widened in this way.

Maxim is not surprised Nodding.

She didn't expect Fleur to crush the students of Hogwarts, which was basically unrealistic.

Even in Beauxbatons, Fleur had many competitors a year ago.

It's just that since the last school year, this child has suddenly become enlightened and has learned everything much faster, which gave Maxim hope.

Next, she asked Wayne about some information about the outstanding students of Hogwarts in a roundabout way, but unfortunately she didn't get any effective information.

In Wayne's eyes, those students are no different...

.......

Hogwarts.

In Snape's office, Dumbledore looked solemn.

"The situation is more troublesome than I thought." Snape looked at Regulus, whose appearance had not changed much, and explained to Dumbledore in a deep voice.

"It's been too long, and Regulus's physical nature has completely changed, and he has completely become a dark creature. ”

“Many of the potions I prepared for him turned into poisons in an instant. Not only can they not restore him to his original state, but they will also harm his body.”

“Even the ashes after the Phoenix Nirvana can’t work?” Dumbledore asked again.

“It’s just adding fuel to the fire. Look there.” Snape pointed, and Dumbledore looked over. He saw that the skin on the inside of Regulus’ left arm was completely different from the paleness of other places. It was black.

The original Dark Mark on it also became blurred.

Dumbledore came back to his senses and looked at Snape with a subtle expression, “Do you know how much I paid to help you get back the ashes of Nirvana?”

Snape’s expression was also a little unnatural, but he was still curious: “Lawrence dared to blackmail you? ”

The old man’s mouth twitched.

“Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but in Wayne’s eyes... I should be the best blackmail target.”

Snape used great willpower to keep his mouth from curling up, so that his face was deformed.

Dumbledore’s eyes gleamed: “Since it has no effect, then are the remaining Nirvana ashesCan you give it back to me?"

Snape's face suddenly turned serious: "Sorry, it has been used up during the experiment."

Just kidding, how could he hand over the things that went into his pocket.

Dumbledore silently took out a bottle of medicine and poured a few sips into his mouth.

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to help, but I can't do anything." Snape shook his head.

"He is not a normal corpse, but a transformation through vicious black magic. How can I break the magic of the Dark Lord?"

Dumbledore nodded silently, "Thank you for your hard work, Severus, leave the rest to me. ”

He collected Regulus’ body and walked out of the office.

In the next few days, Dumbledore was hesitant about whether to go to Grindelwald.

But after checking it out himself, he found that only another Dark Lord could solve Regulus’ problem.

In desperation, Dumbledore could only go to Nurmengard Tower again.

........

Austria, Alps.

Dumbledore came to the foot of the tower with ease. For him who had been in and out several times, the tight barrier was no different from non-existence.. .......

But when he arrived at the entrance of the tower, Dumbledore’s face changed.. .......

The Squib guard who was in charge of guarding the gate was sleeping soundly on the table, which gave him a bad feeling and he hurried upstairs.

As he approached the top floor, he could still hear the faint sound of conversation, which gradually became clearer.

"I'm not bragging! Albus was not my opponent at all!"

"Because, because my wand is bigger and longer than his!"

"Although we didn't fight many times, I always let him go and didn't have the heart to kill him, but he always pushed his luck!"

"Especially your senior, because how many times did we fight because of him? No Hufflepuff is a good guy, and you are no exception! "

Bang!

Dumbledore pushed open the door with a dark face.

In the shabby room, there was a gorgeous table with rich food and wine.

Grindelwald and Wayne should have just clinked their glasses and raised their heads to drink.

As a result, the movement of his hands froze in place because of his sudden appearance.

Looking at the two people having fun, Dumbledore suddenly found that his arrival was a bit redundant.

"Huh? Principal, you are here to visit too." Wayne put down his glass and greeted him enthusiastically: "Sit down quickly, we just started eating, what do you want to drink?"

He looked so familiar, just like the host here.

Dumbledore didn't react for a while, and only woke up suddenly after sitting next to Grindelwald.

"No, Wayne, why are you here?Here?"

"Oh, Mr. Grindelwald did me some small favors before, and his old friends asked me to deliver some gifts."

"It just so happened that I was in France a while ago, not far from here, so I came here on the way."

Dumbledore nodded silently.

He probably guessed what it was, and didn't think of interfering too much.

He was still relatively relieved that Wayne had contact with those saints, after all, the positions of both sides were not consistent.

"What about you?"

Grindelwald suddenly sneered: "You are such a busy man, why did you suddenly come here?"

"Don't just talk, eat and chat." Wayne snapped his fingers, and a set of knives, forks, bowls and chopsticks appeared in front of Dumbledore.

And in front of him, there was an extra handful of melon seeds.

"Then talk while eating. "Dumbledore nodded and reached out to cut a piece of lion's head.

After rushing all the way from Hogwarts, he was a little hungry.

Grindelwald pouted and calmly moved the plate of lion's head towards Dumbledore.

During the meal, Dumbledore also told the purpose of his trip.

After listening to Regulus's deeds, Grindelwald's eyes were full of light.

"What a pity. If he was a person of my time, he would definitely be my most staunch supporter."

"It's unlucky to meet such a master."

Dumbledore sighed and did not refute.

3.9

"It's meaningless to say these, Gellert. "Dumbledore was full too, so he put down his chopsticks.

"I hope you can help me restore Regulus to normal, so that he is qualified to be buried in the Black family cemetery."

"Is this your attitude when you ask for help?"

Grindelwald crossed his arms and sneered, "Look at Lawrence, he just came to deliver something, and he would prepare a table of good wine and food."

"What about you? You come here empty-handed, and only know how to make requests?"

"Why should I agree to you? "

Wayne ate melon seeds more and more vigorously.

Dumbledore lowered his eyes, not knowing what to say.

Is it necessary to calculate so clearly between the two of them?

I didn't ask so many things last time I asked him to do something, why did he do it this time?

But the situation was stronger than the person, and Old Dumbledore could only bow his head.

"Gellert, I am more anxious. Whatever you need, as long as it doesn't make me embarrassed, I can agree to it."

Grindelwald smiled, but it disappeared quickly.

Then he winked at Wayne frantically.

Wayne clapped his hands, threw the melon seed shell aside and stood up.

"You guys chat slowly, I'll leave first."

"Mr. Grindelwald, I've also put the things sent by old friends here for you. If you need to reply, prepare them in the next few days. I will ask the Phoenix King to come over in a week. ”

“No thanks.”Grindelwald shook his head.

"If I contact them directly, I'm afraid someone will be unable to sleep again."

After saying that, he glanced at the silent Old Dumbledore.

Wayne shrugged indifferently, said hello to Old Dumbledore, and walked out of the room.

The rest... that's between the two of them. .
