The sky is covered with heavy snow, and the white snow is spread on the ground outside Hogwarts Castle. The little wizards are making a fuss on the snow like elves in the snow.
Today is Christmas Eve, and it is also time for Hermione to prepare to go out and give gifts.
Of course, Hermione will not fulfill all the children's wishes unconditionally, but she will choose the most suitable gift among the gifts that the children want most.
And with William's alchemy, it can be said that all industrial creations in the ordinary world are not difficult.
With the help of William, Hermione traveled through the portal to all the families with children in London, and the Santa Claus she dressed up also appeared in the eyes of the children.
I believe it won’t be long before children in London will know that there is a Santa Claus in this city.
On the other side, Cedric took advantage of an opportunity to meet and quietly said to Harry:
"Harry, maybe you can try that golden egg in the water!"
Obviously, he was giving Harry information about the second level.
As a warrior, only by deciphering the hidden information in the golden egg can you truly pass the second level.
Harry's heart warmed when he heard this, and he felt a little guilty at the same time.
As a wizard of the hermit path, his eye for voyeurism has actually already figured out how to open the golden egg. However, he has been overwhelmed by a series of recent events and the matter of his Christmas dance partner, so he has somewhat ignored it.
At the same time, Cedric always helps him, but he cooperates with Beauxbatons' Fleur, which always feels like betrayal.
"Cedric, be careful with Durmstrang, he may have mastered some powerful dark magic!"
Harry reminded.
When Cedric heard this, a solemn look flashed in his eyes, and at the same time he smiled kindly at Harry and left.
He also knew that it was not appropriate for him to get too close to Harry during the Triwizard Tournament, otherwise the Daily Prophet would not know how to slander and spread rumors.
Speaking of the Daily Prophet, William felt very unhappy.
Ever since he became Fleur's dance partner, William could always sense a beetle wandering around him, especially when he was with Fleur.
Fortunately, William and Hermione are brother and sister, otherwise Rita, a disgusting reporter, wouldn't know how to spread rumors about William being a scumbag and having a few tricks up his sleeve.
This also allowed Rita to save her life.
But for the sake of peace and quiet this year, William found a bottle to shut up the annoying beetle before attending the Yule Ball. Just like the original method Hermione used to deal with Rita.
The next night was the Yule Ball at Hogwarts, and the four warriors from the Triwizard Tournament each took their dance partners onto the dance floor in the center.
After Krum saw William, the gloomy look in his eyes flashed away, but he was still noticed by the keen William.
After William danced the first dance, he left the dance floor and sat next to him to rest.
At the same time, he was also quietly observing Krum with his own spiritual vision.
Because Krum's strength has been greatly improved, his body contains an extremely powerful magical power.
There was a sarcastic smile on William's lips, knowing in his heart that this was probably Grindelwald seeing Harry's strength through the Prophecy Magus.
Therefore, we have to use some means to improve Klum's strength to ensure the success of the Saints plan.
As for what Grindelwald hopes, it is nothing more than to make Dumbledore and Voldemort both lose, so that Grindelwald can become the last oriole.
At the same time, Grindelwald should also want to test the existence behind Knockturn Alley.
And William also understood the origin of the energy in Krum's body, which was an Obscurus.
Decades of imprisonment did not block Grindelwald's talents. He had mastered the means of creating a controllable Obscurus, and was able to make Krum a powerful Obscurus in a short period of time.
Although becoming an Obscurus will continue to consume vitality, and the life span will be greatly shortened.
But for the saints who madly believe in the first generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald, being able to sacrifice their lives for Grindelwald is their supreme honor.
From this point of view, Grindelwald's methods are much stronger than Voldemort's.
Among the Death Eaters, only a few dark wizards were truly loyal to Voldemort, while the vast majority of the Saints were fanatical believers in Grindelwald.
From this we can see the gap between the two generations of Dark Lords.
After the ball, William told the two warriors Harry and Fleur what he had observed.
"How is it possible that he can actually master Obscurus?"
Fleur exclaimed in disbelief.
William said:
"Back then, there was an Obscurial among the Saints who could control the Obscurus. He seemed to be Principal Dumbledore's nephew. After decades of research, the Saints' methods may have become more mature!"
Harry also attached great importance to Krum, especially when he knew that he was related to the Saints. He could check out relevant information about Grindelwald and the Saints, and even learned some information from his godfather, Sirius.
At the same time, Harry also found an opportunity to tell Cedric the information that Krum was an Obscurus, and reminded him to be extremely careful.
When William met Mad-Eye Moody, he "inadvertently" mentioned to Hermione next to him that there seemed to be a pattern symbolizing the Deathly Hallows on Krum's arm.
Hermione also said very cooperatively:
"That pattern is not only the Deathly Hallows, it may also be the saint's symbol of the first Dark Lord Grindelwald!"
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention.
Barty Crouch Jr. is very familiar with Grindelwald and the Saints. After all, some of the magic used to imprison Grindelwald in Newmont came from the Crouch family.
Barty Jr., disguised as Mad-Eye Moody, instantly realized that Grindelwald and the Saint might have also participated in the Triwizard Tournament and become one of the warriors.
At the same time, Barty Jr. was full of anger and murderous intent towards Igor Karkaroff, the current headmaster of Durmstrang and a former Death Eater.
Either this waste is incompetent and doesn't know that the warrior in his school is a saint. Or Karkaroff, this waste, betrayed his master Voldemort once...
No matter which one it is, Karkaroff cannot escape death.
"However, for the last level, the plan of making the Goblet of Fire into a portkey and transporting Harry to his master may need to be changed."
Little Barty thought to himself.
Voldemort, who was hiding in a dark room waiting for resurrection, was furious after learning about the saint's involvement.
The confrontation with Dumbledore was already a bit difficult, and now he had to watch out for the saints who were hiding somewhere, which added a lot of variables.
······
In the principal's office, Dumbledore was looking at the elder wand in his hand absentmindedly.
Dumbledore, who planted surveillance magic on little Barty, soon learned the information that Krum was a saint.
Thinking of the dark aura he felt from Krum during the dance, Dumbledore felt very complicated.
At first, I thought that another character similar to my nephew appeared in the magical world, but I didn't expect that he was also a saint. And Dumbledore also keenly discovered something from this.
That is that Grindelwald is likely to have mastered the means of mass-producing Obscurials...
