Chapter 382 Grindelwald’s “Curse Demonstration”

"Mr. Wallop, when you are brewing a pot of poisonous potion, what do you need to do as soon as the crucible is removed from the fire? Stir it clockwise or counterclockwise? How many times? What is the purpose?"

In the gloomy Potions classroom, Snape at the podium suddenly asked Sean a question.

Sean, whose eyelids were drooping, was immediately awakened by the cold voice of the old bat. He hurriedly stood up and answered quickly.

"Um, professor, you need to stir counterclockwise, at least twenty-five times. The specific number of times depends on the year of the main medicinal materials added when brewing the poisonous potion, but it cannot exceed thirty-five times at most, otherwise the potion's medicinal properties will be Big discount. Well, the purpose of stirring is to make the poisonous potion softer, otherwise it will turn into a thick jelly-like potion within one serving."

Fortunately, he reviews his notes every day, although his potion making skills can no longer keep up with Daisy, who is one year younger than him, and even worse than Hermione and Harry, who are in the same grade.

But in terms of theoretical knowledge, he still remembers it very well...

Um?

Sean glanced at Hermione beside him. The girl was pointing her wand calmly.

Ah...that's bad...

Sure enough, Snape's mocking voice rang out: "Congratulations, Mr. Wallop, a powerful poison that can poison a troll will only take twenty seconds to kill you - tell me, are you serious?" Have you previewed what you will learn in this class?”

"Uh, uh, sorry, professor..." Sean lowered his head in frustration.

Snape's cold, radar-like gaze looked at everyone: "It takes up to an hour and a half to brew a poisonous potion, and when brewing this kind of potion, the wizard must put it on himself at the beginning. A Bubble Curse. In order to ensure that there are no mistakes, the Bubble Curse must be updated every ten minutes - and when the crucible is out of the fire, the Bubble Curse must be updated quickly. Like Mr. Wallop, who is out of the fire. The act of stirring, in the wonderful but dangerous art of potions, we generally call it - courting death."

Every student was silent, and then without waiting for Snape's instructions, the voices recorded on the parchment rang out.

"Wallup, one of your 'deaths' resulted in a five-point deduction from Ravenclaw. Sit down." Snape tapped Sean with his wand.

Sean sat down helplessly and rubbed his face vigorously.

Hermione on the side waited until Snape turned his attention to Harry, then moved closer and whispered: "Sean! I can't even see you recently. Oh my god, have you not slept well for several days?" Already?"

Sean sneered: "Actually, it's not bad. I slept for two hours yesterday..."

"But you only slept for an hour the day before yesterday!" Hermione's eyes widened.

"Special period, special period..."

Sean can't help it. There have been too many troubles recently.

He consulted all kinds of information, interrogated the group of Death Eaters he had wiped out, and racked his brains to combine the existing information to make inferences and judgments - by the way, he also took time to sneak out of the school every day to see little Grinder. Wo, although the other party doesn't want to see him for the time being.

But the other party didn't reject what Capone sent him.

This was also the reason why he dozed off in the Potions class where he was always most serious. In fact, he was almost in a fugue state during Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

Fortunately, Professor McGonagall understood the reason for some things and did not deduct points from him or anything. He just sternly told him after class: "Mr. Wallop, in many cases, only a healthy body and a clear brain can work." Get twice the result with half the effort.”

Of course Sean understands that Professor McGonagall is out for his own good...even Snape does.

In the past, Snape would have not only deducted points from him, but also made him stand for an entire class.

But things are really troublesome...

Sean sighed silently.

Last night, he spent a lot of effort to finally dig out some memories from the few Death Eaters who were not petrified.

The first thing to be sure of is: Voldemort is really back.

This invincible lunatic returned to his servants in a weak but powerful posture.

Weak and powerful, it sounds contradictory, but based on what Sean saw from Fenrir's memories, it was accurate.

Voldemort seemed to have completely lost his body. He was held in the arms of a wizard whose appearance was unclear, with only an extremely ugly baby-like head exposed.

Just like Sean once saw in the movies.

But the difference is that Voldemort still seems to have considerable power, and he does not need to use his wand when punishing a servant.

However, Sean expected that Voldemort would not reveal his death. What he was surprised about was how the other party knew that he went to Baron Skinner's manor that night.

There is a high probability that Voldemort and the Returned are in cahoots, but the identity they played that night was Grindelwald. Even if the Returned believed that Grindelwald would go to check the situation, would they dare to ambush Grindelwald?

Sean thought they didn't dare. Obviously, neither the Returned nor Voldemort dared to guarantee that they could defeat Grindelwald. In this case, the identities of the prey and hunter would soon be reversed in an ambush.

And Grindelwald might even kill him directly in a rage.

So how did Voldemort know that it was him who went there...

Sean thought for a long time before he thought of one thing, and that was the identity of the returnee.

The Invincible Andros was a famous wizard in ancient Greece, along with other families such as Mopsus and Calkas.

One characteristic of ancient Greece was that it was rich in prophets.

Sean didn't know whether the returnee could still use the prophet's ability in his semi-ghost state, but in an unbroken family, there was a high probability that there were certain wizards who could inherit the prophet's bloodline from their ancestors.

But this kind of prophetic ability shouldn't be too strong, otherwise many of Sean's actions will be predicted in advance.

Moreover, Sean believes that this may be one of the reasons why the returnees have always wanted to deal with Grindelwald - Grindelwald's prophetic ability is likely to be more powerful than the returnees.

The ability of this special talent to be crushed must be something the returnees don't want to see, especially since the owner of this talent is so powerful.

Sean had a vague guess that the prophet would be disturbed by the prophet. He had been under Grindelwald's gaze before, so the returnees could not see the vague future.

However, now that Grindelwald is in trouble, he must be more careful in what he does in the future.

Of course, he also has another option, which is to have a good relationship with little Grindelwald...

Speaking of little Grindelwald, Sean wanted to sigh. He had been thinking about how to let the other party untie his knot.

Because Sean is sure that if he wants to eliminate the threat of the awakening of the world's will, he must cooperate with Grindelwald.

Although the two of them have different memories, they will always be the same person. This is unchangeable. When the staggered nodes in time coincide, as long as the will of the world does not awaken, then in the next time, there will be only Grindelwald.

There is no such thing as schizophrenia due to memory confusion. Time and Grindelwald will understand all this on their own.

Both young Grindelwald and old Grindelwald understand this deeply.

The problem is that little Grindelwald seems reluctant to cooperate - the old man is too stubborn.

Moreover, Sean had always been confused, and Dumbledore let himself go.

He could understand that Dumbledore would have many restrictions if he did this, but what he didn't understand was that Dumbledore had said that doing this would have some controllable impact on the current world.

Haven't seen it yet.

In addition, after Sean learned the truth about the blood alliance, he has been very uneasy.

Will Dumbledore wait until Grindelwald's two timelines merge...

Or maybe Grindelwald has become his true self and he wants to take action against Dumbledore...

Sean had to sigh, at this time, it would be great if he had the ability of a prophet...

Unfortunately, Professor Trelawney's divination class couldn't teach her what she wanted to learn, and it wasn't something she could learn even if she wanted to.

By the way, in the last Divination class, Hermione had a quarrel with the trickster Professor Trelawney, and now she no longer goes to class.

All we can say is that history may always develop where it should.

If only I could see Grindelwald's ninety-seven years of separated memories...

But Dumbledore would definitely not allow it. If he saw that memory, the awakening of the will of the world would become a foregone conclusion.

Memory, memory...

Sean hit his chin and paused with his quill. He realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

Grindelwald seemed to have some anticipation of what would happen next... So, that...

After the day's lessons, Sean came to the Room of Requirement again. This time he didn't even let Daisy and Hermione follow him because he was worried that more people present might cause more trouble.

Of course, all this assumes that your guess is accurate.

He took out something, which was a transparent glass bottle with something floating gently inside. It was like a combination of gas and liquid, showing a psychedelic silvery white color.

Grindelwald's Curse Demonstration... This is the name given by the system.

This spell demonstration is obviously a memory of Grindelwald. It was when Sean had just entered Hogwarts and he accidentally entered the disappearing cabinet and met Grindelwald for the first time.

"Take it as a gift for this wonderful journey." Grindelwald said at the time.

At that time, Dumbledore told Sean that this magic demonstration was too advanced for Sean at that time, and he could learn very little.

After Dumbledore made Sean more powerful, he went to him to help him digest this memory.

And this delay lasted more than two years.

This is why Sean sensed something was wrong.

For more than two years, this memory has been well preserved by Sean, but he has never been curious about it or tried to use it himself in such a long time.

For a person who likes to organize things at a fixed time and always maintains a strong curiosity, this is an incredible thing.

Moreover, Sean didn't think about it carefully at the time, but now that he thought about it, he realized that it was weird.

Why did Grindelwald leave such a magic spell demonstration experience when he had nothing to do? He doesn't seem like someone who sets out to demonstrate, and if he wants to teach a student, face-to-face teaching is obviously more efficient. Teaching from memory seems a bit redundant.

And it happened to be that when he and I met for the first time, the other party took it with him?

Now that Sean and Grindelwald are more familiar with each other, he thinks this is unreasonable.

Sean raised the memory bottle and looked at it carefully.

It looks no different from an ordinary memory bottle, except that the silver-like memory inside rotates slower.

Also, something weird is that Sean always loses focus on it even when he holds it in his hand.

"Well, this is it?" Sean raised his wand and touched the bottle of memory bottle lightly.

This familiar magic wave...

Sean's pupils shrank slightly, there was an extremely powerful confusion spell attached to the bottle!

No, it’s still an improved confusion spell!

It will not cause any harm to the holder, but will cause the holder to subconsciously ignore the memory bottle itself.

No wonder, no wonder I never thought of this thing...

So it seems that there is indeed a problem!

You know, Grindelwald is a master at playing with memory.

Could it be that this is the memory switch planted by Grindelwald who has erased all his memories? This switch will be triggered when he meets Sean for the first time. The purpose of triggering is to give this memory bottle to Sean. …

Now, although the confusion spell is powerful, after so long, the magic power has dissipated a lot, and Sean himself has become stronger very quickly, and he has become more and more sensitive to the magic power.

In addition, Sean's thoughts have been focused on this aspect recently, so he remembered the existence of this memory bottle...

Could this be a reminder that Grindelwald left for himself?

Sean took a deep breath, took out the pensieve, and then used a little force to uncork the memory bottle.

Sure enough, this memory looks like it has been precipitated, it is thicker and more... vicissitudes of life.

For some reason, this adjective popped into Sean's mind.

He tilted the bottle, and the pale silver memory slowly slipped away.

The memory fell into the pensieve, like a huge boulder hitting the lake, causing a huge splash, which seemed to indicate its weight.

"Huh-" Sean took a deep breath and buried his head in it.

After falling for a while, Sean stepped on the ground again.

"This is..." Sean's pupils shrank suddenly, "Hogwarts?"

It was indeed Hogwarts before him, but it was not the castle he remembered.

He stood in the center of what was supposed to be a magnificent auditorium. The magic ceiling above his head had a big hole, and the candles that were supposed to be floating were shivering and crowded in a corner.

The long table of the Four Colleges was knocked to the ground, and the place where Sean liked to sit was burning with flames.

And in the middle of the mess, which could even be called ruins, was the place where the principal should have been.

A tired figure was sitting on half of the stone pillar.

That was Grindelwald, Grindelwald playing with the Elder Wand.
