Harry Potter: This senior is pretty strong

Hagrid's Hut became a frequent gathering place for Qin Yu and his friends.

This place is right next to the Forbidden Forest, with distant mountain views, fresh air, and a wide field of vision. You can also occasionally see the magical creatures that Hagrid feeds, although they rarely appear. Of course, the unicorn mother and daughter are an exception; they come over from time to time to eat clean carrots and then gracefully leave after finishing.

If you're really bored, you can go to the Willow Tree next door and have a go at it. According to George and Fred, the Willow Tree has a terrible temper and when it hits, it really hits, and it really hurts. Of course, apart from the two of them, no one else has tried to do it yet.

In short, everyone still really likes it here, as long as Hagrid doesn't bring out his baked cookies or his dark, sour soup porridge.

Today, the team won the Quidditch match, and the entire team came over, along with Moni Wanda, who was dressed casually.

Hogwarts students are allowed to dress casually when not in class or on important occasions; however, many are too lazy to change and simply wear their wizard robes.

As for the food, Hagrid bought it all in Hogsmeade Village, using Galleons given to him by Qin Yu.

Since the octopus venom opened up the market, they made a considerable profit, and Qin Yu felt more confident. He kept enough money to buy Hermione books, school supplies, and a flying broom. He could spend the rest as he pleased. Of course, so far, there weren't many places where he needed to spend money. His biggest expense was buying some food and drinks in Hogsmeade Village.

……

Just as Qin Yu and his friends were eating and drinking at Hagrid's Hut, Dumbledore, the Hogwarts headmaster who had left for most of the day, returned to the school.

Professor McGonagall, dressed in a bright green robe, entered the round principal's office shortly afterward.

Upon arrival, Professor McGonagall briefly explained the results of today's Quidditch match to Dumbledore, and then she couldn't help but ask, "Albus, what exactly happened this time? Why are they in such a hurry to send you over?"

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "A messenger has arrived from Brazil. He claims that the Aurors of the Brazilian Ministry of Magic have discovered some people who have become a major threat there, and the problem is spreading. What they are spreading sounds a bit like an old friend of mine..."

“An old friend of yours? Who?” Professor McGonagall frowned.

Among Dumbledore's old friends were quite a few formidable figures, and several of them had caused considerable trouble in the past.

Fortunately, with Dumbledore around, his friends naturally didn't have a good ending.

So, when it comes to being friends with Dumbledore, you have to be careful in your actions and dealings. If you ever go astray, Dumbledore will personally take action, regardless of how close you are to him.

“Gellert Grindelwald,” Professor Dumbledore said, uttering a name he hadn’t mentioned in over forty years.

“Grindelwald?” Professor McGonagall’s usually impassive face showed surprise. She continued, somewhat bewildered, “Wasn’t he already captured and imprisoned in Nurmengard?”

Nurmengard is a prison in the wizarding world that rivals Azkaban, where wizards who have committed serious crimes are imprisoned.

In the legendary wizarding duel of 1945, Grindelwald, considered one of the most powerful dark wizards in the history of the wizarding world, was defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in Nurmengard.

This happened a long time ago; if Dumbledore hadn't mentioned it, Professor McGonagall would have almost forgotten about this person.

After all, new monsters emerge in every generation. After Grindelwald, a dark wizard appeared who was even more powerful than him, causing chaos in the wizarding world and becoming a new taboo. Grindelwald's story was also overshadowed by him.

Of course, those who lived through the era of Grindelwald's rampant activities will certainly not forget him, because Grindelwald once brought the wizarding world a crazy and dark period.

“Grindelwald is indeed still imprisoned, and Nurmengard is heavily guarded, so the chances of him escaping are slim… I just came back from him, and he told me personally that the people outside were not his doing, but he hopes that someone can carry on his will… Although he repents for his past sins, he still feels that some of his ideas are correct…” Dumbledore finished speaking and sighed softly.

The so-called "Will of Grindelwald" is the supremacy of wizards, who should be the masters of this world, not sneaking around in the shadows! And the way to realize this ideal is to unify the magical world and then crush Muggles underfoot.

"You mean, someone is using his name to develop their influence?" Professor McGonagall asked gravely.

“I’m afraid that’s the case… As you know, his ideas are very popular among many wizards, even more so than Voldemort’s—alas, after all these years, people still refer to Voldemort as ‘You-Know-Who’,” Dumbledore said with some concern.

"That man" is Voldemort's nickname. People have always considered it taboo to call him by his name directly. With the ten-year period coming to an end, Dumbledore senses that this guy might return again.

One Voldemort was troublesome enough, but now there's a bunch of fanatics who preach wizard supremacy. Dumbledore is finding himself somewhat overwhelmed.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the quiet Phoenix Fox in the room, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes.

No matter how strong a person is, they cannot withstand the erosion of time.

Although this emotion flashed through her mind, Professor McGonagall keenly noticed it and said in a calm tone:

"Albus, you don't need to be too pessimistic. I believe that the future of the magical world is bright because there are many outstanding and lovely young people who uphold the ideal of justice. Even things that we cannot do, they will eventually accomplish!"

"young people……"

Professor Dumbledore murmured these words, his eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions: sorrow, anger, self-blame, regret, and anxiety. However, these emotions did not last long; they were quickly suppressed and replaced by resolute composure and unwavering determination.

“Minerva, you’re right, the future of the wizarding world is definitely bright! I will do what I can for those young people.” After saying this, Dumbledore murmured as if to Professor McGonagall, but also as if to himself, “It seems that some of my previous predictions need to be adjusted.”

“Lord Dumbledore, I am at your service!” Professor McGonagall said with a smile.

“Thank you, Minerva,” Dumbledore replied.

Regarding Grindelwald's transformation in his later years, let's follow the book's approach. Don't get too hung up on it, since the movie and the novel are two different ways of portraying things.

Then, I knew everyone was anxious, and I was anxious too...
