I’m Really An Alchemist - Chapter 360
She was originally on vacation in Greece, and she received a letter from Dumbledore asking her to return to Hogwarts immediately. Only then did she find out about Grindelwald through the newspaper and her wizard friends.
In Grindelwald’s time, she hadn’t even entered Hogwarts, and only had a rough understanding of this history in the history of magic.
Only know that Grindelwald was defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in Nurmengard.
This is why Dumbledore is called the greatest white wizard because he defeated the mighty Dark Lord.
“Grindelwald escaped from prison, how can this have anything to do with the professor?” Minerva McGonagall did not believe that the close relationship between Grindelwald and Dumbledore was hyped up in the newspapers.
“Professor McGonagall!”
Zhou Qi’s call came from behind, and the slightly disturbed musician quickly chased after her and said, “You know what happened to Professor Dumbledore, why did you designate me as the acting headmaster?”
“Have you also received a letter from the headmaster?” Professor McGonagall asked.
Zhou Qi nodded.
Minerva McGonagall pursed her lips and looked worried, not knowing what she was thinking.
Soon, the two came to the principal’s office. The stone statue had already moved out of the way and the door opened.
They walked up the stairs to the office, and saw the white wizard standing in front of the window with his back to them. The white wizard heard the footsteps and turned around, his eyes were soft and smiling.
“Professor Ivan, Professor McGonagall.” He said apologetically, “I disturb your vacation.”
“Principal!” Minerva McGonagall didn’t have time to greet her. She stepped forward and said directly, “Is what the newspaper says true? … Are you really going to America to arrest Grindelwald?”
Dumbledore nodded and glanced at Zhou Qi without a trace.
It’s normal worry and anxiety, without any flaws.
He sighed softly in his heart and said, “After Grindelwald escaped from prison, I received the news. At that time, for some reason, I hid the news. Now that it has been revealed, I have to do what I should. Things to do.”
“In this era, only I know him best, and only I can beat him.”
After listening to the principal’s explanation, Minerva McGonagall was stunned for a while. She wanted to say something to hold back, but she was stuck in her throat and couldn’t say it.
Do you want Dumbledore to stay and let Grindelwald be the one to blame?
“Headmaster, what qualifications do I have to be the acting headmaster?” Zhou Qi smiled bitterly and declined, “I’m just a Muggle, and becoming the headmaster of Ravenclaw has broken the precedent, and then becoming headmaster of Hogwarts, this …not suitable?”
Dumbledore watched him silently for a while.
“There’s nothing inappropriate.” The white wizard said with a smile: “Professor Ivan, you have broken several precedents. I think the magic world is used to numbness, and you are still an arcanist. Keep Hogwarts and students safe.”
Minerva McGonagall also said: “I agree with the Headmaster that I’ve struggled just to manage Gryffindor, but Professor Ivan you’ve managed Ravenclaw in good order just a few months into your term. It’s reasonable, it’s much better for you to act as the principal temporarily than me.”
“I will also help you manage it together.”
The principal and the vice-principal had the same attitude. Zhou Qi could not refuse, so he could only accept it with shame, and said that he would definitely protect Hogwarts, wait for Dumbledore’s return, and then return the principal.
So the matter of acting as the principal was settled.
Dumbledore specifically asked about the Triwizard Tournament. He asked Zhou Qi to cooperate with Mag to organize the Triwizard Tournament and wash away the stigma of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.
“Our three schools have a thousand-year friendship, and Hogwarts has also endured their help in history.” Dumbledore said: “The Triwizard Tournament is arranged by the Ministry of Magic, and we just need to ensure that the game runs normally.”
“There is also a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. I also invite Karkaroff to serve as a concurrent post. The Triwizard Tournament will be held at Hogwarts. Students and professors from the other two schools will be guests at Hogwarts for a year. Do me a favor, it can be regarded as a simple repayment of favors.”
Zhou Qi listened quietly, nodding from time to time, and seemed to agree with Dumbledore’s arrangement.
Arrange things at Hogwarts.
Zhou Qi and Professor McGonagall both had complex expressions on their faces, and they were ready to go back to accept the information. Dumbledore hesitated for a while and left Minerva-Magog alone.
“Professor McGonagall.” The white wizard hesitated for a long time. He originally wanted Minerva McGonagall to spy on Zhou Qi and prevent him from doing anything astonishing. Kai’s trust.
He sighed heavily and put on a smile: “Please keep in touch with me while I’m away. If anything happens to Hogwarts, please notify me as soon as possible!”
Minerva McGonagall frowned in confusion.
“You should tell Professor Ivan that this is what the acting principal should do.”
Dumbledore said firmly: “Professor Ivan also has his own things to do. We can’t trouble him with everything, right?”
Minerva McGonagall had to nod her head.
Although she still didn’t understand why Dumbledore was so nervous?
Hogwarts is the safest place, what else will happen?
…..
Zhou Qi walked alone on the corridor, far above Dumbledore and McGonagall’s mental force field. He took the conversation in the office into his eyes across a kilometer. He shrugged and retracted his mental force field.
Suddenly, his pace stagnated.
In the front of the corridor, Snape waited for him expressionlessly.
Zhou Qiao looked at Snape curiously. When the psychic force field had just radiated and enveloped the entire castle, even the ants and spiders hiding in the cracks could feel their movements.
But Snape was only discovered by him when he walked in front of him.
Zhou Qi threw a detection technique in the past, traced the root cause, and finally found a clue.
Snape in front of him was just an empty body. His soul had long been absent, so he naturally couldn’t feel the smell, sound, and mental fluctuations. There was only a faint pulsation of his soul.
“Grindelwald was released by you.”
When Zhou Qi walked in front of him, Snape said blankly, “You released Grindelwald just for today to completely master Hogwarts.”
Interrogative sentences turned into declarative sentences from his mouth.
Zhou Qi didn’t hide it, the two walked together in the empty castle.
“When it’s time for a complete change at Hogwarts, you have to be ready. There’s a lot to do next year – Dumbledore didn’t even realize it, he’s become a conservative who stops the tide of the times.”
Zhou Qi smiled disdainfully.
“He wants to slow down and let the magical world have a process of acceptance. From a dialectical point of view, this idea belonged to the advanced side two years ago, but now that the magical world has undergone a sudden change, he still maintains this idea. Conservatives.”
“Grindelwald’s role is more than that. His ideas are actually advanced. I just use him as a pilot in the Americas. If it works, it will also have reference value for me. Even if it doesn’t work, I have no loss.”
Snape was silent.
After listening to Zhou Qi’s explanation, he seemed to see that America had become a huge wizard chessboard. Grindelwald and Dumbledore became kings of black and white, but there was only one chess player.
This kind of imagination made him subconsciously distance himself from Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi noticed that, and disapproved, turned to look at Snape, and was amazed.
“I can’t feel the existence of your soul. It seems that you have already explored the path of the necromancer. I don’t know how you arranged your soul box. Don’t be found by others.”
The corners of Snape’s mouth curved slightly, but quickly converged.
He said blankly, “No one can find my soul box.” As he spoke, he stroked the resurrection stone in his palm and said in a long tone, “No one has ever tapped the power of the resurrection stone, it opens the spiritual world. Portal.”
Zhou Qi smiled and said, “Then why didn’t you resurrect Lily?”
Snape lowered his eyes indifferently: “It’s not the time yet. I’m not the opponent of the **** of death now. I can’t protect the resurrected soul body. She will eventually be pulled into the spiritual world.”
After a pause, he returned to the previous topic.
“Through the exploration of the resurrection stone, I noticed the connection between the real dimension and the spiritual world. The soul is also a high-dimensional disturbance body – this leads to the soul box, I was limited by the inherent thinking, this world has never had such a soul box. Creation, why does the soul box have to be a real thing?”
The smile on the corner of his mouth bloomed again, and there was a deep light in his eyes.
“Concepts, nothingness, life, gas, energy, and even the world itself, can be used as soul boxes.”
Snape rubbed the resurrection stone ring and said longly, “I use the resurrection stone to store my soul in the gap between the spiritual world and reality, and only use it as a bridge to link my body. Even if this body is destroyed, the resurrection stone will fall. In the hands of others, I can still project my soul for resurrection. Even those wizards who get the resurrection stone will be my body bank.”
Saying that, he sighed with a bit of pity.
“Last time Grindelwald came to Hogwarts, I could feel his thirst for the resurrection stone, and I gave him a chance.”
Zhou Qi was speechless.
If you really succeeded, then instead of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, you should fall in love and kill each other!
…..
“You want to join the Deathly Hallows Society?”
The wizard in charge of the club looked at the young man and woman in front of him gently, the woman hugged the man’s arm, they were a wizard couple.
“Yes, I heard about your club!”
The girl said with anticipation, “Here, we can change our lives… This is what the slogan says.”
“Of course.” The wizard smiled: “But joining a club is not that simple. It needs to be reviewed, and our club is now wanted by the Magic Congress, so you should think about it clearly.”
The boy and girl’s expressions became hesitant.
The wizard waited patiently for them.
“We figured it out, we want to live better, we want to use magic in front of No-Maji, and we want to use No-Maji tools.” The boy gathered his courage and said, “We want to join the club.”
The wizard smiled and shook his head.
“You guys are just on a whim and didn’t consider the consequences. The Deathly Hallows Society will not force others to join. What we need are like-minded comrades…” He rolled up his sleeves, glanced at the quartz mechanical watch on his wrist, and said: “Why don’t you do this? There is a speech by the president this afternoon. If you are interested, you can come and listen.”
“Please sign your name.” The wizard took out a form, “We will investigate your identity information, and if there is no problem, you will be invited to listen to the speech.”
The boy and girl picked up the pen and signed the name.
The girl’s name is Benson Gina and the boy’s name is Hodge Allen. They are from a wizarding family living at the bottom of New York.
The wizard put away the form, flickered, and disappeared with a crackling sound.
The young witches and wizards were especially excited. They returned home together, pulled the curtains, and the smiles on their faces disappeared little by little.
“I didn’t expect this club to be so strict, and it’s a personal review.” Gina is very capable, completely different from the previous silly and sweet girls: “This way, even if we want to round up, there is no chance!”
“Captain!” Allen was a little worried: “Is there any problem with our identity, will we be discovered?”
“rest assured.”
Gina rolled up her loose blond hair and tied it into a brisk ponytail. She hated that hairstyle with loose hair, which would affect the Auror’s work.
“Our identities were forged by Congress, and the memories of the No-Majes around us have been modified.”
“He said that the review was approved, and he would pick us up to listen to the speech in the afternoon.” Allen rubbed his arm, and there were tiny bumps on it: “President, shouldn’t it be Grindelwald?”
“Should we inform the Speaker and take this opportunity to arrest Grindelwald?”
Gina sneered.
“Capturing Grindelwald, you forgot who he is, the first Dark Lord, the initiator of the Wizarding World War! In the No-Maj world, people like Hitler, can we catch him? his territory?”
Being ridiculed by the captain, Allen looked ashamed.
“Don’t forget our mission, we are undercover, lurking in the Deathly Hallows Society, to provide Congress with a list of society members and dynamics, Grindelwald has Dumbledore to deal with!”
“Dumbledore!” Allen exclaimed: “You mean Dumbledore of Hogwarts, will he really come?”
Gina laughed.
“Maybe it’s almost here, the legendary white wizard, he defeated Grindelwald, this time is definitely no problem!”
Time came to afternoon.
A slight magic sound came from the door, followed by a knock on the door.
The slightly anxious Auror undercover quickly put away his mood, put on a disguised expression, and opened the door. It was the wizard who was examining them during the day.
The wizard smiled and said, “Your review has been passed. You can come with me to give a speech in the club. What are you thinking about now, do you still want to join?”
“Of course!” Allen said without hesitation.
“That’s good.” The wizard stretched out his hand and said gently, “Please let me take a look at your wand.”
The undercover Auror panicked, looked at each other, hesitated.
“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to take away your wands.” The wizard said with a smile, “It’s just for safety.”
They drew out their wands reluctantly.
The wizard took out a bottle of potion and sprinkled it lightly on the wand, only to see that the space above the wand was slightly distorted, making a slight popping sound, as if some magic had been broken.
“Wizards and wizards living in America have their wands monitored by the Magic Association, and they can detect wherever we use magic.”
“And this potion can break this surveillance magic, allowing us to use magic freely without surveillance!”
The wizard smiled and explained.
The undercover Auror was shocked, and his eyes fell on the potion bottle in his hand. This potion was the key to destroying the order of America’s magic world, and it truly violated the law.
The wizard placed it on the shoulders of the two of them, and with a crackling sound, the three of them turned into a black shadow and disappeared without a trace.
