Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Chapter 163 Little Water Doesn't Count

Even though it was late at night, wizards were still constantly patrolling the Malfoy Manor.

However, none of the patrolling wizards noticed that a figure swaggered into the manor.

In a garden of the manor, Grindelwald sat alone under the moonlight, admiring the moonlight.

Until that figure also entered the garden.

He watched Grindelwald's retreating figure, remaining silent for a long time.

Grindelwald, who was admiring the moonlight, slowly spoke: "Are you planning to stand there forever, Albus?"

Upon hearing Grindelwald's words, Dumbledore, who had been in the shadows, slowly stepped into the moonlight, revealing his complex expression.

"Grindelwald, whose body is that that died in Nurmengard?"

Hearing Dumbledore's slightly questioning tone and the way he addressed him, Grindelwald lowered his head and sighed in slight disappointment.

"It's been so long since we last met, Albus. Aren't you going to ask me anything else?"

Grindelwald stood up from his chair and looked behind him at the figure he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Oh, your beard has grown long again. I've told you you should take better care of it."

Upon seeing Dumbledore, Grindelwald smiled, as if he were meeting an old friend.

But no matter how much Grindelwald said, Dumbledore still looked at him with a serious expression.

"Alright, albus, he was just a prisoner who died in Nurmengard years ago. I only did some things to his body."

Seeing Dumbledore's expression, Grindelwald had no choice but to surrender.

Sure enough, Dumbledore's expression softened considerably after hearing Grindelwald's words.

Dumbledore slowly sat down in the chair that Grindelwald had prepared for him, and Grindelwald sat down next to him.

"Now that things have come to this, why are you still coming out?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"I've come out of my mind, so I've come out. You know me, I always say what I want to say and do what I want to do."

"That's why I have a headache..."

Dumbledore rubbed his temples and said helplessly.

Then he looked at the obvious linear burn marks on Grindelwald's right hand.

"What contract did Tom make with you?"

"Tom?" Grindelwald tilted his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Seeing Grindelwald's reaction, Dumbledore was speechless and changed his words, saying, "...What kind of contract did Voldemort make with you?"

"Oh, so you want me to kill you, or that brat Kevin."

"So, Albus, would you fight me to the death for that brat?"

Grindelwald said with a slight smile.

"Of course, I will."

Dumbledore replied calmly.

"..."

"That's what I hate about you, Albus."

Grindelwald found it uninteresting and said coldly, "Next time I see that brat, I won't hold back."

"Me too, Gellert."

After saying that, the two fell silent, gazing quietly at the moon in the sky.

After an unknown amount of time, Grindelwald was left alone in the garden.

......

Time flies, and the OWLS exam is over in the blink of an eye. Everyone seems to have done quite well.

The holiday is just around the corner.

"Hey? Kevin, is something missing from here?"

Today was the day to take the train home, and Harry and the others first gathered in Kevin's workshop.

Harry was the first to notice that Kevin's workspace seemed a little emptier.

"Oh, Professor Moody and the others took the box that contained Umbridge."

Only after Kevin mentioned this did they realize that the black box that had been kept in the corner was missing.

"Are they going to release Umbridge?"

"Hmm, I heard they just carried the boxes and stormed into a Death Eater stronghold."

"After they had dealt with most of the Death Eaters, they released Umbridge, altered her memories, and then left her there."

"I reckon the Ministry of Magic has already taken Umbridge back by now."

After hearing Kevin's account, Harry felt that things had been a bit hasty.

The Umbridge replacement incident, which they had worried about for so long, has come to an end.

Draco only found out now that they had done this kind of thing this semester.

After quickly packing their things, they went to the train station together.

This year has seen a lot of events, more than in previous years, and the plot has changed dramatically.

Just as I was thinking this, the long-dormant system popped up again.

[Ding, the system has detected that the host has completed and altered the Order of the Phoenix storyline. Reward: +10 Free Attribute Points, Additional Reward: +5 Free Talent Points]

[This alters the fate of Sirius's death, changes the cursed fate of Dumbledore, and subjects the host to Death's machinations.]

[Death's Scheme: ???]

Although I was mentally prepared that changing the characters' deaths might offend Death, just like last year, I didn't expect it to be even more direct this year...

It is also more abstract.

What do those three question marks mean...?

However, just as he once told Dumbledore, he didn't care about Death's arrival at all.

Come at me head-on if you dare.

Kevin looked at his attribute panel again.

Name: Kevin

Attributes:

Physical condition: 40

Mana: 45

Intelligence: 30

talent:

Spellcasting Talent: 38

Potion Talent: 17

Alchemy Talent: 12

Flight talent: 3

Inventory: None.

Available attribute points: 10

Available talent points: 5

The only change in this panel compared to last year is in Magic Power; as you get older, your Magic Power automatically increases by 5 points.

Without much hesitation, Kevin put all his attribute points into Intelligence, and put his talent points into Spellcasting to 40 and Alchemy to 15.

I feel like it doesn't matter whether I add more or not. What Kevin needs now is not talent, but time.

When Kevin faced the mysterious old man, he realized that although he had a high talent for magic, his learning time was still too short.

His age is probably greater than the sum of his two lifetimes multiplied by two.

He could put up a fight against Voldemort, a monster with high stats, but old monsters like Dumbledore and that old man were difficult to deal with just based on stats.

"Kevin, what are you thinking about?"

Inside the train compartment, Hermione and Kevin were in their own, while Harry and the others had gone to the next compartment.

Hermione noticed Kevin was daydreaming again and leaned on his shoulder to ask him a question.

"It's nothing. By the way, Hermione, do you think my forehead looks dark?"

"The area between the eyebrows?"

Hermione didn't understand Kevin's meaning for a moment.

"It's between the eyebrows."

"...I don't think so?"

Hermione tilted her head and said uncertainly.

"What's wrong, Kevin?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like there's something dirty trying to scheme against me."
