fortunately.

Barty Crouch Sr. understands that enough is enough.

The senior official of the Ministry of Magic chatted with Dumbledore a few words, saying that he must help Dumbledore to excuse himself after explaining the Ministry of Magic, and then left the alley of the pig's head bar.

"It doesn't look like the British Ministry of Magic is all idiots..."

Grindelwald came over, looked at the back of old Barty Crouch leaving, and couldn't help but snorted: "But this man seems to like power..."

"Crouch has taken things seriously."

Dumbledore frowned and excused old Barty Crouch.

"..."

Grindelwald shook his head hesitantly.

Just when he was about to say something, the fire phoenix beside him suddenly shook his feathers. The existence of this spy animal forced Grindelwald to end the topic.

almost forgot...

He is still under Wesson's surveillance...

Dumbledore looked at the phoenix on Grindelwald's shoulder at a glance. The old man looked at his old friend in a puzzled way, as if he didn't understand why he had to keep a phoenix...

But Dumbledore didn't ask.

Because now he has issues that he cares more about.

Dumbledore looked at his brother, frowned and asked, "Aberforth, have you seen Ariana?"

"I saw her soul..."

Aberforth nodded quickly, and his emotions suddenly became excited: "I'm sure that is Ariana's soul, it must be Ariana, it must be! She is exactly the same as in the past!"

"Of course it's Ariana..."

Grindelwald glanced at Aberforth and explained softly, "That was summoned by Peter Pettigrew using the Resurrection Stone..."

"Resurrection Stone..."

Dumbledore's expression immediately became serious.

Since the Godric's Hollow incident in 1899, he has been looking for the whereabouts of the Resurrection Stone. No, it should be said that since his parents died, he has been looking for the Resurrection Stone, but there has been no news...

This was the first time he heard about the resurrection stone.

Dumbledore's eyes slowly moved to Grindelwald, and he asked softly, "Gellert, you already knew that the Resurrection Stone is in his hands..."

"It's obvious."

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore and took the initiative to explain: "Peter Pettigrew contacted me. He has Ariana's soul in his hand. Only the resurrection stone can bring the soul of the dead back to this world."

As Grindelwald spoke, he slowly looked away, his palm frosted his pocket watch calmly, and his voice was lowered: "I want to save Ariana's soul from his hands. come out…"

Aberforth looked at Grindelwald and asked coldly, "I really never thought that you would be so kind to save Ariana..."

"Aberforth!"

Dumbledore stopped drinking his brother.

The old man knew a little bit about why Grindelwald did this, and his old friend might indeed be making up for his past mistakes.

Dumbledore also knows a lot of rumors from the European Ministry of Magic, and Grindelwald's behavior is not as domineering and ruthless as in the past...

Dumbledore believed that...

Grindelwald was definitely willing to rescue Ariana.

"Thank you..."

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald and nodded, and said softly, "Maybe we can only find another chance to rescue Ariana's soul..."

"Before Christmas..."

Grindelwald frowned and said hesitantly, "Peter will definitely come back to me before Christmas..."

"How can you determine this time?"

"..."

Grindelwald didn't answer for a long time.

The Dark Lord slowly turned his head to look at the portrait in the pig's head bar, and said with a blank face: "I just intend to save Ariana's soul, let your family reunite at Christmas, and use her to threaten you. Help me re-rule the magic world..."

"..."

Dumbledore's expression was subtle.

"Hmph, you bastard..."

Aberforth reached out and wanted to grab Grindelwald's shoulder!

However, Dumbledore stopped his younger brother, and there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes: "Well, if you threaten me with Ariana, I really have to obey your wishes... "

to be frank…

Dumbledore must have some doubts about what Grindelwald said about letting him help rule the magical world. The problem is that the probability of such a thing is very low...

According to what Dumbledore knew about his old friend during this time, Grindelwald probably just wanted to reunite him and Ariana on Christmas...

and…

The place where Grindelwald and Peter Pettigrew traded was in the Hog's Head Bar, not necessarily because he wanted Aberforth to know about it in advance so that their family could be reunited.

"What does Peter want?"

Dumbledore stared at the expressionless Grindelwald and said softly, "I must save Ariana's soul from his hands..."

Before Grindelwald could answer, Aberforth replied in advance: "The Elder Wand, the Invisibility Cloak, the position of the Headmaster of Hogwarts, the position of the British Minister of Magic, or Voldemort's life and Horcruxes. thing…"

"..."

Dumbledore frowned.

However, his eyes were still on Grindelwald, hoping that Grindelwald could give him a different answer. After all, the things Aberforth said were not easy to find...

The only one that's easy to find, maybe Voldemort...

After all, Voldemort is hiding in Professor Quirrell...

and…

If Dumbledore sold Voldemort to Peter Pettigrew, he wouldn't be under too much psychological pressure, and the damage to the wizarding world would not have been that great...

What's more...

Peter Pettigrew should also know about this.

Because Peter Pettigrew had already made the little guy Wesson Wright a Horcrux, and made Wesson Wright a spy lurking around Voldemort and himself...

"never mind…"

Grindelwald took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Tell you, Peter Pettigrew wants me to help him kill Voldemort at a critical moment... But someone eavesdropped on our transaction, and this time the transaction was overheard. broken…"

After speaking, he glanced at Aberforth next to him.

Dumbledore had just felt that the deal between Grindelwald and Peter Pettigrew was a good deal, and his mood had just recovered a little, and immediately fell again.

"I…"

Aberforth clenched his fists and was speechless.

If what the **** Grindelwald said is true, then it means that he delayed Grindelwald in rescuing his sister...

"There will always be other opportunities."

Dumbledore patted his brother on the shoulder~lightnovelpub.net~ and comforted softly: "At least we also know the whereabouts of the Resurrection Stone, maybe he does have the Resurrection Stone in his hand... I will find a chance to talk to him. talk."

"Peter Pettigrew is very vigilant..."

Grindelwald shook his head and said solemnly, "I can feel his fear of you, he doesn't dare to see you alone..."

"I have found a way to contact him."

Dumbledore thought about the student who was made into a Horcrux by Peter Pettigrew, and sighed faintly: "Gellert, there is another innocent child, there is a student named Wesson Wright, who was taken by the child. Peter Dwarf made a Horcrux..."

By now…

Dumbledore had already made up his mind.

Maybe he can use Wesson Wright to contact Peter Pettigrew.

In theory, the owner of the Horcrux can learn certain things through the Horcrux, and if a Horcrux is a living person, he can even read the Horcrux's thoughts.

It also means that Peter Pettigrew can monitor Hogwarts through Wesson Wright's observation...

Likewise.

Dumbledore can also use Wesson Wright to deliver news or some false information to Peter Pettigrew to lure Peter Pettigrew into taking the bait.

"what?"

Grindelwald heard the news...

The Dark Lord's mood suddenly became extremely complicated.

However, Grindelwald glanced at the phoenix on his shoulder, but he couldn't reveal the slightest clue. He could only nod his head casually: "Well...I remember...that kid...I should have seen...is a very good Quidditch match. Talented little guy... he is also very capable at doing things..."
