HP: Hogwarts Snake

Before talking about the future with Tang Xueji, Della planned to make Germany the first stop on her return trip, because it was the headquarters of the Black Magic Society. She wanted to go there to rehabilitate her black magic and see if she could get any new inspiration.

Moreover, compared to France, the Riddle forces there are slightly smaller, and Della doesn't want to be discovered by Maggie for the time being.

Now, there is another reason to go to Germany, which is very close to Nurmengard where Grindelwald is imprisoned in Austria.

Although the mark of the Witch Party appeared in Durmstrang, since Grindelwald was still alive, it would be faster to ask the person involved directly.

In mid-September, Della set foot on German soil. As she got off the plane, she looked at the bustling crowds of people holding signs to welcome their relatives and friends, and suddenly realized that she was now alone.

This solitude does not correspond to loneliness, but to having no power or influence to draw on.

Not wanting to see Maggie and going to see Grindelwald are two conflicting things.

"Hmm..." Della strolled through the streets of Germany carrying her light suitcase, thinking about her next step.

In terms of urgency, Grindelwald must be the first priority. If one wants to meet Grindelwald, one must borrow the power of a family or individual who has the ability to confuse the government.

Originally, the Riddle forces behind her would make this easy. Even if they had to hide this request from Voldemort, she and Maggie could still do it easily.

Now, it was her fault for being too indifferent to fame and fortune and giving Maggie too many opportunities to connect with those forces. Now they should all be on his side - there was one exception, Professor Cockrell, who was loyal to neither Maggie nor her.

Would Professor Cockrell, who was solely loyal to Grindelwald, be interested in her plan? Or, in other words, had he ever planned to help Grindelwald escape from prison?

If I talk to him about this, I might get some more useful information.

Moreover, Professor Cockrell, as her introducer, has a close relationship with her secondary target, the Black Magic Society.

However, Professor Cockrell's Cockrell family is already weak. If I remember correctly, their family is one of those that are too dependent.

Now I have to go, Durmstrang.

Della adjusted her itinerary and soon faced another problem: she didn't know the way to Durmstrang.

Hiss, it was because she had too much power in the past and her life was too luxurious. When she was in Beauxbatons, she could go in and out of the school through various doors to play with Belinda. When she was in Durmstrang, she could always stay comfortably in the cabin, and there was naturally someone outside to steer her in the cold wind.

Della now truly understood the truth of the saying "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."

What should I do? I feel like I came to Germany for nothing.

The main thing was that if she didn't want to see Maggie, she couldn't go to Durmstrang with such fanfare. School had already started for half a month, and she had no classmates to track down. If she asked the students who had already graduated - she now had a million-dollar bounty on her.

Use the Imperius Curse?

Della didn't want to use this spell she didn't like.

So, is there any graduate who can communicate with me but will definitely not tell Maggie about anything? There is, Dmitri.

Della, who had just arrived in Germany, turned around and had to endure the hardship of the journey caused by her ill-considered decision, and decided to go to Russia first.

In front of Dmitri's tragic lover Sadolin, Maggie received his guests today, Alian and a foreign man.

"I heard that you have become interested in prophecy recently?" Aryan sat up straight, but her hands on her knees were clenched tightly. She felt very nervous about communicating with Maggie.

"Yeah, anyone who saw the Dark Lord's rage that night would be interested in the prophecy." Maggie smiled indifferently, her eyes more focused on the white-haired man brought by Aryan.

Apart from Cynthia, only he knew about his little actions in the Ministry of Magic that night. Voldemort was very angry about the failure of the prophecy and made a big fuss about it. This commotion certainly could not hurt him, but gave him a reason to be openly curious about the matter.

So as a 16-year-old who could not imagine that his future would fail because of the baby, Riddle naturally expressed his curiosity. It was just a matter of going along with the situation, and Maggie did not expect that someone would choose to cater to him in this regard.

You have to know that whether a prophecy is true or false actually depends on whether the prophet's attitude is intimidating enough. In his opinion, this is a gift that can easily go bad.

But the one who gave this gift was the always cautious Alian...

Thinking of this, Maggie narrowed her eyes slightly, and the smile on her face quickly transitioned from indifference to gentleness. "Why, did you bring a master for me, Aillian?"

As Maggie's gaze shifted to the young man with loose white hair, Aillian hurriedly introduced him, "This is Mr. Tang. He is the most powerful prophet I have ever met."

"Tang Dong." Tang Dong said indifferently.

"He seems like a master with a unique personality," Maggie said, emphasizing the pronunciation of the word 'master' and re-evaluating the man who had an attitude that could be described as arrogant in front of him. "Since he is a prophet, can he foresee my distress?"

This is a gift proposition.

She did tell Mr. Tang some of the past events, but if she had only told him those things, she would immediately be labeled as a fraud.

Aryan's expression froze, noticing Maggie's dissatisfaction. Before she could try to ease the increasingly fatal situation, Tang Dong spoke directly.

“When an ant tries to shake a tree, is it really stronger than the tree, or is it just lucky that the ant managed to overcome the tree?”

Maggie raised his eyes, and the large whites of his eyes that were exposed increased his majesty. He looked at the man who pointed out the doubts in his heart with scrutiny.

He listened to the entire prophecy, and the only point he didn't dare to judge was that "he possessed powers that the Dark Lord didn't understand."

What is the power of not understanding?

Is it an unknown super power?

Or is it another form of power that achieves another kind of victory?

Regardless of the actual situation, Maggie smiled humbly on the outside, and his gentle and polite face showed this humility to the fullest, which made Aryan a little dazed.

"Thank you for bringing Mr. Tang here," Maggie said, impatiently ordering him to leave. "Can you give us some space to talk alone, Ellian?"

Aryan felt relieved. She looked at Tang Dong gratefully and agreed to Maggie's request.
