Days wandering around Hogwarts

Chapter 501 The Boss Drinks
"Ouch!"

"Why are you so skilled? How many times have you been beaten?!"

Harry covered his crown, unexpectedly, Hermione's knife felt the same as Charles'.

Hermione said unhappily, "Really? Charles talked to you so much, but you only remembered to take off girls' clothes. I don't know how embarrassed I am."

Harry shrank his neck and argued, "What he said is too difficult. I'm afraid you won't understand."

The students around who were busy doing their homework looked speechless.

Neville exposed him: "Harry, it's actually you who didn't understand."

Harry didn't answer him, but asked Hermione: "Did you understand what Charles said?"

Hermione's face darkened and she shook her head and said, "I still don't understand the half."

She suddenly realized that Charles was within her comprehension range before, but today he was talking about things like the core architecture of artificial intelligence, hybrid expert system, etc., she only recognized the words but had no idea what they meant when put together.

In short, she found that Charles was not on the same level as herself.

Harry asked Hermione curiously, "What did you understand?"

Hermione said, "Charles's puppet can help him with his homework and gardening in the future."

"No!" Harry screamed, this was his only source of pocket money.

He couldn't help but think, why not ruin Charles' research just for some pocket money!

"No!" Harry suddenly realized the problem, "When will Charles be able to do it?"

He thought that this kind of puppet sounded very troublesome, and it would be even more troublesome to make. As long as Charles didn't make it before graduating from Hogwarts, it would be a success.

Hermione couldn't answer this question because she herself didn't fully understand what Charles was doing.

"Oh right!" Harry slapped his head, "I forgot to tell Charles something!"

He had meant to mention Voldemort in passing, but was interrupted and forgot about it.

At this time, Charles came out of the dormitory, not wearing a robe, but wearing casual clothes.

Harry asked him, "Charles, you want to go out?"

Charles nodded and said, "I'm going to go out for a while."

After he finished speaking he left the common room without giving Harry a chance to say anything else.

Seamus said as he caught up on his homework, "Gabrielle and Lady Delacour are going back to France today. I think Charles is going to say goodbye."

Everyone thinks it makes sense that we start catching up on our homework during the Christmas holiday.

Just as Seamus said, Charles first sent Gabrielle and Lady Delacour to the British Ministry of Magic, but instead of returning to Hogwarts, he came to Azkaban.

There is a kitchen in Azkaban. In the past, the Dementors would throw all the feed into the pot and cook it into a paste, giving each prisoner a bowl. Black had to transform into an Animagus form to be able to eat it.

Now it was different. Since signing a contract with the Dancing Grass Restaurant, the prisoners could eat grilled steak, eel jelly, bacon and oyster rolls, cod soup, Scottish seafood chowder and Yorkshire pudding.

The Dementors said that their quality of life had improved since they had the new food.

So the two people in the kitchen don’t have to worry about food, and they can even drink some wine.

When Charles met Jack, he was introducing a bottle of wine to Voldemort: "This is a wine from a winery in the Saint-Julien region of Bordeaux, France. It was produced in 1986. This wine exudes a youthful aroma of delicate, mature blackcurrants and vanilla spices. It has a rich and mellow taste while maintaining an excellent balance. I like it very much."

"I have always taught Charles that you should not only buy expensive wines, but also the ones you like."

Charles was a little speechless, as if this bottle of wine was very cheap. There was no cheap stuff in the wine cabinet of 3 Privet Drive. This bottle could be sold for at least four thousand pounds in thirty years.

He sat down, took the bottle from Jack, poured it into the decanter, then flicked his finger on the decanter. The wine instantly formed a vortex, and then a lot of air was drawn in. The one-hour decanting time was shortened to half a minute, and then he poured wine for the bosses.

Grindelwald took a sip and nodded slightly. He said, "It's a very interesting spell. It speeds up the aging of the wine. It doesn't look like the wine from nine years ago at all." Jack also took a sip and asked Charles seriously, "Have all your memories been restored?"

He is the only person in the world who knows Charles' true identity, but he doesn't know much, and there must be something extraordinary in the missing memory.

For example, the spell just now is not just about sobering up the wine, but more importantly, it is about aging the wine, which involves time magic.

Jack and Grindelwald had both eaten and drunk this before, and they immediately realized the essence of Charles' move, so they pointed out the key.

Charles raised his glass to Jack and said, "Thank you, Grandpa, for letting me drink with everyone now."

Charles now understood that the power in the secret vault belonged to the old man, and it was up to him whether to give it to him or not.

Jack laughed and clinked his glass with Charles. It was enough for Charles to call him grandpa, everything else was empty talk.

Grindelwald had seen how powerful Jack was, and he guessed who this great man was.

He wanted to give Dumbledore a surprise that night so he didn't go to the secret vault, and only found out what happened later.

Grindelwald initially thought that Charles had also obtained that kind of power, but Jack's question just now was strange, perhaps with a deeper meaning?

He observed Charles more closely and found that his temperament had undergone a fundamental change.

Although Charles tried hard to hide himself, a man as outstanding as him was like a firefly in the darkness no matter where he was. He was so bright and outstanding. His deep eyes, the confident smile on his lips, the magical time magic, and the glass of red wine that was gently shaken with a unique rhythm, all revealed that this man was not a simple person.

Grindelwald has met countless people over the years, and he increasingly feels that he cannot see through Charles.

He raised his glass to Charles and asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Charles smiled, raised his glass and said, "I am still me."

Grindelwald was not displeased by Charles's ambiguity. Capable wizards have the right to do whatever they want. Charles's previous move has already proved his strength.

He took a sip of his wine and acknowledged that Charles was qualified to drink with him.

Grindelwald couldn't help but think that it was very likely that Jack had taught Charles a lot in the past, or he might have taken him to visit wizards around the world and learned a lot.

For the top handful of wizards, three points depend on learning, seven points depend on hard work, and ninety points depend on talent.

Especially those particularly niche magics. Without talent, you wouldn't even know where the door is, let alone step through it. Time magic and divination are among them.

Grindelwald suddenly had a guess. He had always felt that Charles's speech and behavior were very mature, and he had a big business, and he didn't look like a child at all. Could it be that he was an adult wizard before, and then an accident occurred while studying time magic, and his body turned into a baby, and he lost his memory at the same time.

In this way, many of the mysteries surrounding Charles can be explained.

Who doesn’t want to regain youth?
But Grindelwald quickly discarded this idea. What if Charles turned him into a baby, and he lost some of his memories due to the side effects, and then left him to be raised by Dumbledore...

When he thought of Dumbledore changing his diapers, knitting sweaters for him, and feeding him... he shuddered.

Charles could certainly do that.

Grindelwald decided not to consider the idea of ​​rejuvenation, but it seemed like a good idea to turn Dumbledore into a baby and raise him himself.

He turned to look at Voldemort.

Although Voldemort tried his best to hide it, it was still obvious that he was unhappy.

In his opinion, Charles gained the power that should have belonged to him.

But he is the weakest here now, so he doesn't need to do anything. Charles can just call the Dementors over to kill him.

Voldemort said nothing, but Grindelwald looked at him unhappily.

Grindelwald said to Voldemort, "Why don't you toast Charles?"
