Chapter 823 The last piece of the puzzle - in place
"So, Professor Quirrell will be back soon, right?"
On the winding streets of Salzburg, Hermione raised her head and looked at Grindelwald and asked.
At this time, they had left Salk Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies and were waiting on the street for the preset door key to take them back to Hogwarts Castle. Salzburg not far away had already been shrouded in night.
, the lights gradually lit up in the city.
On the other side, Hannah and Luna were lying on the edge of the fence, looking greedily at the brightly lit Salzburg.
"Yes, when Quirinas gets better, he will return to us. Soon."
Grindelwald replied with a smile, gently holding the top hat on his head.
It is always a pleasure to talk to intelligent people. Quirinus Quirrell is quite good in terms of judging situations and understanding ability-perhaps part of this comes from Voldemort's training-but in any case
, this young wizard is almost one of the wizards that Grindelwald admires most during this time.
"If nothing else happens, you will be able to see him in school next Monday at the latest. Miss Granger."
"What about Professor Lupine? I mean, there can't be two professors on the same course at the same time, right? Since listening to Wood's description, I have been looking forward to Professor Lupine's class - although I also
I really want Professor Quirrell to come back."
"Sorry, I don't remember Hogwarts having such a rule."
Grindelwald blinked his eyes flexibly, watching with interest as Elena pointed to the lights of the city below to introduce Salzburg to the other two little witches, while patiently explaining to Miss "One Hundred Thousand Whys" beside him
explained.
"As far as I know, Muggle schools don't have only one professor for each course, right? At the banquet tonight, you should meet the new professors. Hogwarts should have started reforming long ago. Besides,
, who told you that after Professor Quirrell returns to the castle, he will definitely be the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
"Eh? When Professor Quirrell comes back this time, won't he teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?"
After hearing the conversation between the two, Luna Lovegood turned around and interjected curiously.
Compared to the naive little Tie Niu, she had already noticed the guilty conscience in Elena's words. Maybe there was nothing wrong with the story and the scenery explained by the white-haired dumpling, but the direction of her finger was extremely large.
Part of it is definitely wrong.
"Well, after a year of trying, Professor Quirrell feels that he still prefers the subject of Muggle Studies. And given Quirinas' current situation, this is also the most suitable subject for him - speaking of
Although this may be a bit long-winded, regarding Professor Quirrell's temporary loss of magic power, I hope you..."
"Don't worry, Professor Apokalis, we will keep the secret with you!"
Hannah Abbott waved her little fist seriously, "Even if my mother asks, I will tell her that Professor Quirrell is just studying the perspective between magic and non-magic, not because of
Sudden loss of magical abilities."
"...Well, Hannah, I think you might as well just say you don't know."
Elena rubbed her forehead with a headache and sighed softly.
"Hey, why? I should have memorized it correctly——"
The cute Tiehanhan puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction and said unhappily, "I obviously took it seriously this time! I knew it anyway! You really secretly dislike me for being stupid again, right? Hum╭(╯^
╰)╮!”
"The main thing is... well, lying is not a good thing for a cute little angel like you to do."
Elena blinked her eyes, glanced at the little Tie Niu who was still pouting in anger, thought for a while and said tentatively.
"How about I make you a separate 'Honey Sauce Carrot Fried Pork' after you go back to school? This time I will teach you step by step, ensuring that you can show off your skills in the Leaky Cauldron after the holidays, and make it individually customized.
oh!"
"I won't forgive you so easily this time, unless..."
Hannah said hummingly, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she swallowed quietly.
"At least we need to add braised pork with vegetables in white sauce, chicken stuffed with sweet flowers, fried radish balls, and meat rolls stuffed with matsutake mushrooms - that...if you think it's too much, you can actually negotiate..."
Hmm? Have you prepared all this recipe in advance?
Elena raised her eyebrows and glanced at Hannah quite unexpectedly.
Unknowingly, this little Tie Hanhan also started to learn bad habits - under the influence of Hermione and Luna, I didn't expect that even Tie Hanhan started to learn to ask for high prices and pay back the money on the ground.
This is not a good sign.
only……
As a veteran foodie who has witnessed five thousand years of Chinese food culture, Elena doesn't mind this happening.
If it were just such a simple and unpretentious request, she could definitely make one dish a day and feed Hannah without repetition for 365 days a year until graduation. At that time, she might even get an unexpected harvest.
Master cook.
"Okay, come to the kitchen with me tonight...well...that's right!"
Elena pretended to be reluctant and nodded reluctantly. She turned her head and looked at the two little witches beside her who had their ears erect and were swallowing hard, but they were too embarrassed to come forward. She smiled and waved.
"If that's the case, why don't you two come together? You won't go back after eating and just squeeze in on my bed."
"Ahem, ahem—I'm very sorry to interrupt you, kids."
Gellert Grindelwald cleared his throat helplessly, reminding a certain little girl that she was not in a school dormitory now.
"We almost have to go back. If anything happens, you can talk to yourself later -"
I don't know if it's some strange curse, but every Dark Lord seems to have left no heirs.
Anyway, judging from the current situation, if this trend continues, he will probably not have the chance to see the appearance of any "granddaughter" - the Kaslana family and the Apokalis family will most likely be in this generation.
Never.
However, this is not a big problem...
Grindelwald turned around and glanced at the hospital shrouded in night behind him.
The most cutting-edge medical conjectures in the non-magical world, coupled with some wonderful methods in the magical world, if everything goes well, maybe in his lifetime, the things he and Dumbledore once regretted can be solved in the new era.
I have to admit that the appearance of the child Elena has really subverted too many people's original expectations.
"Come on, get ready, we should go back -"
Grindelwald calmed down his thoughts, took out his pocket watch, took a casual look, and nodded towards Elena and others.
Along with a faint blue light, the stone slab at the feet of Grindelwald and others suddenly shook, and an invisible layer of spatial distortion wrapped around the four wizards on it, and disappeared silently.
…
At the same time, the Salk Hospital for Magical Maladies and Maladies is located not far away.
Quirinus Quirrell played with the shining metal emblem in his hand. This was the incredibly immature Dark Lord who quietly left it beside his bedside before leaving the ward.
Keepsake.
"Wizard IN Black... This is really a secret organization that is hard to refuse..."
Quirrell murmured, recalling the mission that Elena had described to him, his eyes gradually brightened.
"Then, let the hunting begin..."
"This time, it's finally your turn to escape, my dear 'master'——"
