Harry Potter and the Rebirth

Chapter 544 Backstab

Dumbledore did not speak, he remained silent, even now in his mind this was a war that was completely unnecessary.

"Okay, I got it." He nodded gently, "You stay here to stabilize them first. I'll go meet Harry and try to be back within two hours. If possible, I'll persuade him to leave here and leave Hogwarts."

Grindelwald also understood the importance of the matter.

"Okay." He knew that Dumbledore and Harry had built this space together with the help of Gryffindor, and he and some of his men also participated in the latter half.

Among the professors at Hogwarts, McGonagall and Snape had also witnessed it, and of course there was also Madam Pomfrey, who had always stayed in the Hogwarts infirmary, and several house-elves, who were the most loyal to Hogwarts and Dumbledore himself.

And of course Harry.

Even in such a tense atmosphere and fierce fighting situation, these people never revealed the secrets here.

The news circulating outside is just some harmless superficial information.

"By the way." When he was about to leave, Dumbledore took out a white envelope from his pocket, put it in Grindelwald's hand, and patted him on the shoulder gently.

“That’s my secret weapon.”

His thoughts were obviously not here, but back to that ordinary afternoon, when Hogwarts had not yet come to this space, the world was at peace, and Harry and he were in that room filled with sunlight, confessing everything to each other.

Dumbledore never worried that Harry would do anything detrimental to the interests of Hogwarts or himself, he was just afraid that it would hurt himself.

He had never been able to see clearly about this mysterious student, but for reasons that only he knew, he had always inexplicably indulged and trusted him, interspersed with true and false suspicions, temptations, and concealment.

Sometimes he felt that it was unnecessary to be completely honest with Harry about these things, but when someone treats you so sincerely, never lies, and doesn't make up stories even if it's inconvenient to answer.

Even the closest people couldn't do this. Having lived to this age, Dumbledore also understood this truth.

There are not many people like this.

Lover, family, colleagues, friends.

For him, even Grindelwald, among his close friends, could not do it. After Dumbledore left here, his affection and the boundaries merged into one, slowly becoming transparent, and then flat.

Grindelwald looked at the envelope in his hand, hesitant.

He was actually very surprised that Dumbledore was able to come back, because there was actually something he had been hiding.

Some of what I said just now is true, but the order is just reversed.

The lies in montage make it hard to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

People are multifaceted and cannot always remain the same. It is normal to have different goals and choose different partners at different stages of life.

When Dumbledore called him to be Harry Potter's teacher, Grindelwald himself actually did not have this idea, although the title of savior was well-known in the British wizarding world.

But it did not catch Grindelwald's eye. He understood that this was the fuss created by his old friend. But how much could a one-year-old child do at that time?

After half a quarter of an hour, Grindelwald confirmed that there was no movement around him, then he lifted the clothes on one arm and touched the saint's mark on it.

Several black figures appeared instantly and knelt in a circle beside him.

"Go, spread the news that Dumbledore wants to protect Harry Potter."

Grindelwald thought for a moment, staring at the white envelope in his hand, and then added, "Dumbledore doesn't actually have any secret weapons. He just wants to buy time to rescue Harry and prevent people from leaking the news and linking it to me. Do you understand?"

One of the men in black robes stood up. After getting Grindelwald's permission, he disappeared for a moment, and then he came back with a goblin in one hand and a sleeping house-elf in the other.

This is a backup plan that has been prepared long ago.

The goblin had just been eavesdropping on the conversation between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, and then used secret means to spread the news. By the time Grindelwald found out, it was already too late.

Another thing is that this house-elf is actually the one who passes on the internal information of Hogwarts. Under the secret contract between wizards and house-elves for thousands of years, he is honest and obedient. Later, when he came to this space, the land's suppression of this species gradually weakened.

Later, under the leadership of a little girl, his consciousness became fully awakened. If he was loyal before, he was as angry and hateful now.

The fellow it hated the most was the shameless scum named Dobby, but Bai You contacted someone and found him secretly, and at the same time passed the news to Grindelwald.

How can a group of scattered wizards come together and know so much inside information? They need someone to tip off and organize the group.

There are many such talented people among Grindelwald's saints.

Overall, the plan has been going well so far.

Grindelwald nodded. When Dumbledore came back, as long as he could deceive him for a while and break into Hogwarts with all his men, he would have no control over the situation from then on.

How can I accept this? A soul from another world expels the original soul in the body of his lover and shamelessly says that I am him and he is me.

If it weren't for Tom who tipped him off, Grindelwald would have certainly been deceived by this treacherous and cunning man.

He had been preparing for this moment for a long time.

Grindelwald had a gloomy expression, and the man in black robe standing opposite him took off his outer disguise.

He is a handsome young man with an upright figure and outstanding temperament. If it were not for the occasional cold feeling, he would definitely be a very charming and positive leader that people could not help but follow.

"Sir." Tom bowed respectfully, "Congratulations on getting what you wished for."

Grindelwald is not as happy as he thought.

Dumbledore was a master of Legilimency, whose skills far surpassed Snape's, so when he was with him, Grindelwald would never reveal any thoughts that might be harmful to him.

Instead, she brainwashed him over and over again with the story she had already made up, making sure that at least in front of him, she firmly believed that this was his original idea.

This is also the reason why Dumbledore has not discovered it yet.

To be precise, Dumbledore was also on guard against him.

When the space was being arranged, the most critical and core part was completed by Harry.

He didn't know how a little kid who had been with him for less than five years could become the closest person to him?

But now.

The great cause has been accomplished.

Grindelwald's dream when he was young came true in another way, which made him somewhat grateful to that partner.

"Okay, all of you please leave. I hope that within an hour, these two statements will reach the ears of all wizards."

Except for the remaining black robe of Tom, it disappeared like a phantom.

Grindelwald didn't believe the traitor in front of him.

Traitors will never be reused in any organization, and Tom understands this. He just wants to be free and come into this world with Dumbledore.

In a sense he was controlled by Dumbledore.

At the beginning, he was ordered by him to lurk in a small organization, and then gradually showed his power, which made Bai You think of recruiting himself into the organization.

This was Dumbledore's original plan.

Under the strict guard of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, Tom had no intention of resisting.

Until, until he, the spy, was brought into the high-level position by Bai You and started working for him, he was surprised to find the shadow of Grindelwald among them.

For some reason, he did not report the news to his former principal.

Perhaps for very standard villains like them, repaying a favor is the most unfamiliar word. Often, those who are ruthless, powerful, scheming, and extraordinary in every way will attract the attention of their peers.

Working under Dumbledore, where he even had to struggle with killing people, Tom actually had a very good impression of Grindelwald, the first generation Dark Lord who had been famous since his student days.

What happened next was a natural progression.

Dumbledore could not find any trace of Tom afterwards, and even with some coercive means, he was unable to find out the truth.

He even commissioned Grindelwald to find out Tom's whereabouts.

It is dark under the lamp. It is truly dark under the lamp.

The so-called love of youth is nothing but a cover, which will only make those who have love in their hearts trust their teammates more.

Tom sneered.

He watched Grindelwald open the white envelope in his hand, and stood quietly behind him, looking at his shoes with his eyes and nose.

Working under Grindelwald, he quickly became a person he could not do without even though he thought he was a traitor.

Tom has his own ways. It was Tom who suggested that Abernathy go to meet Harry on behalf of Grindelwald.

After Grindelwald opened it, his whole body stiffened, and then he glanced coldly at Tom Riddle who was following behind him.

As expected, traitors are always traitors, and their words are sometimes just like a piece of waste paper and will not have any effect.

There is an essential difference between people who keep their promises and people like them.

Grindelwald was so angry that he grabbed Tom Riddle's neck.

Ho ho ho——

Tom wanted to resist, but as a Dark Lord, especially after eating so many beads, his strength increased greatly. Although his mind was sometimes not under his control, his powerful magic was real.

Tom, a weak soul barely living in a body, was no match for Grindelwald.

“You, you——”

But he knew that he had to clear up the misunderstanding quickly, otherwise everything Grindelwald had promised him before would be wasted.

There is a piece of Harry Potter's soul inside his body. Under the nourishment of that guy's original soul, Bai You told him that as long as he could separate it successfully, he would be able to truly live in this world.

"I need you to give me an explanation."

Grindelwald looked coldly at Tom Riddle who was lying on the ground, and at the same time slapped the white envelope on his face and put the tip of his wand against his temple.

Tom's Adam's apple rolled up and down nervously, and his hands trembled uncontrollably as he took the parchment in the envelope.

Do not disturb the sleeping dragon.

What is this? Why is Grindelwald so angry? Isn't this the motto of Hogwarts? What does it have to do with him?

Tom felt a little relieved. He had not done anything to offend Grindelwald, so under the threat of the wand, he was able to raise his head and look into Grindelwald's eyes.

The pair of eyes of different colors turned into a cold silver-white at this moment, which made him think of Bai You, the man who was truly vicious, cold-blooded and ruthless, and regarded everything in the world as chess pieces.

Even Voldemort couldn't help but call himself his younger brother in front of him.

"You really don't understand?"

This piece of paper, which was once in Harry's hands, eventually passed through Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and finally fell into Voldemort's hands.

Grindelwald was unsure if Voldemort was in disguise.

Between people like them, trust is the most luxurious thing.

Do not disturb the sleeping dragon.

Grindelwald was very clear about this. It was Dumbledore who got it from Harry. The person he was referring to was probably the one who had lifted Hogwarts Castle off the ground, cutting the thousand-year-old building completely between the basement and the first floor like cutting fruit.

Lofit.

The secret weapon, is he?

If it was him, if Dumbledore didn't doubt him, if Loffitt was on his side, then he could truly be called a secret weapon.

But the key point is that Harry once wrote a letter, telling himself everything about the envelope he found in the Room of Requirement and what happened in between.

At the same time, he also revealed to him that the origin of the Luofite dragon was mysterious. It was said to be related to Bai You's forces and currently had an ambiguous attitude towards him.

Dumbledore had also told him about the appearance of such a mysterious person, so the information was exchanged between them.

Tom turned the paper over and over, and finally saw two names written in thin brown lines on the fine lines of the parchment in the lower left corner.

From Tom Riddle, an arrow was drawn towards Voldemort.

If you don't look carefully, you can't notice it at all.

This is simply pushing himself into the fire pit. Tom is not strong enough now and has no way to deal with this.

Suddenly, he thought of a clever idea. "If I am Dumbledore lurking under your command to obtain information, then why did he write my name on this parchment? It can only mean that he has discovered me and wants to kill me with a borrowed knife."

This sentence seems to make sense, but Grindelwald currently seems unable to listen.

Because the parchment envelope suddenly caught fire and turned into Dumbledore's shadow. He looked at the two people opposite him with calm eyes.

"You can't kill him if you still want me to come back again."
