Chapter 107 Meeting old friends
Chapter 107 Meeting old friends
With Alaia's proof, James and Sirius finally believed that the slightly embarrassed mature man in front of them was their former friend.
They had spent a wonderful and thrilling vacation together and established a very deep friendship. At the same time, they knew that Peter's safe return this time was entirely thanks to his help.
James and Newt were soon arm in arm again, and as they walked, he introduced the current wizarding world to Newt, including what could be introduced and what could not be introduced. "So you're saying that there is another Dark Lord here, and he's been looking for Peter?"
"Yes, it's strange to say, when did that idiot Peter provoke the Dark Lord? Of course, this Dark Lord is not Grindelwald as you said, but Voldemort... He is also a particularly dark wizard, insidious and cunning."
Whenever James recalled Voldemort's interrogation of him, he had an urge to work hard to learn the brain block technique. However, he was delayed in order to find Peter, so he decided to start working again.
Although Newt didn't say it, he believed in his heart that no one could be darker than Grindelwald. Newt insisted on carrying Peter on his back all the way, and although Sirius asked for help many times, Newt declined.
"Let me carry him, that guy is not easy to carry!" Sirius also wanted to be close to Peter again.
"It's okay, I'm an adult now..." Newt certainly wouldn't easily hand over his fiancée to someone else. Although that person was their mutual friend, Newt still hoped that Peter could only appear in his arms, only rely on him, or rely on him the most.
James hooked his arms around Newt's neck, touching Peter's face from time to time. James withdrew his arms somewhat awkwardly. Why did he suddenly feel uncomfortable all over, as if he was on fire, when he had "skin contact" with Peter?
Finally they returned to Hogwarts again. More than half a semester had passed since Alaia disappeared, and they were about to have exams, so everyone was very busy, except the robbers of course.
They were more focused on finding Peter than on the exams, so every time they would leave Lupin in the dormitory to finish everyone's homework, while James and Sirius went out to look for Peter.
But they didn't know that after James and Sirius came back and fell asleep in the early morning, Lupin would quietly get up and go out to look for Peter under the cover of darkness. It seemed that only such "punishment" could calm Lupin's guilty heart.
Now they all appeared in Headmaster Dumbledore's office at Hogwarts at the same time. As expected, only Newt was left. Alaiya was reminded to be careful and was "kidnapped" by the other three and taken back to their dormitory.
"No one can separate the robbers anymore!"
"That's right, we will be together forever!" Alaia was held by Sirius and James' necks on both sides. She was pressed down by their two tall figures and could not move, and she had no room to resist at all.
"That... is too heavy. Let me go~" Alayya really envied them for how they had suddenly grown so tall. It had only been half a semester since they last met, but now they seemed to have suddenly become as tall as "towering trees".
"Let you go... and let you leave us? Don't even think about it." Sirius tightened his arms even more. He had already realized that it would be impossible to rely on James to apologize. He had better rely on himself to explain things to Peter and get his forgiveness!
Let him forget the unpleasantness he had with them, Sirius thought as he glanced at Peter's little face, trying to find some clues, not wanting to see his unhappy expression.
Fortunately, he didn't...
In the principal's office, Dumbledore was not nervous at all when he saw Newt again. He even seemed to have expected this. He handed a small box to Newt and said, "Although it is not quite what I imagined, it's a good thing that we still meet."
Dumbledore pushed his half-moon glasses. It seemed that he had wronged him. He still remembered that when Newt disappeared, everyone suspected that Grindelwald had murdered Newt. Even Dumbledore thought so and went to question him.
Dumbledore will never forget that day. Grindelwald was initially very relaxed and happy to notice his arrival, but when he heard his own words of doubt, the beard on his face became a little stiff.
"So... you came to me... because of that guy?" Grindelwald was still playing with the Chocolate Frog collector's card, but this time it was in his pocket.
"He is my precious student!" Dumbledore seemed to have heard the ambiguity in his words. Why was he so resistant to Newt? Why did he attack his innocent student?
"Hehe..." Grindelwald laughed sarcastically. He had so many students and so many precious things, except him! A wave of bitterness and turmoil rolled up in his heart. Grindelwald certainly would not answer Dumbledore's question properly. "It's a pity that he will never be your treasure again~"
"You killed him?!" Dumbledore's icy blue eyes revealed a hint of murderous intent and indifference. Grindelwald looked up to the sky and laughed, "Hahaha... You already have the answer in your heart, why are you still asking me?!"
After saying that, Grindelwald waved his hand and a circle of fluorescent "ghost fire" flashed. He leaped into the sea of fire and disappeared in a flash.
Dumbledore then mistakenly believed that Newt had been killed, and even presided over his funeral, and often visited him at his grave on the beach. He also helped him save some of his property...
Now that the truth was out, Dumbledore actually felt a little relieved and regretful. He needed to go see that old friend -
"Professor Dumbledore~ I..." Seeing the older Dumbledore, Newt shed tears. It was great that he was still alive and working at Hogwarts. He deserved it!
"Long time no see, my child. I'm glad to see that you are still so young~" Dumbledore sighed sincerely and patted Newt on the shoulder.
“I don’t know what happened, but what’s happening now is the best development for me personally…” Newt took the box containing his Gringotts key. He was very satisfied with the current result and he wanted to stay with Peter.
"That's great... With my current ability, I can't guarantee that I can send you back... I'm very sorry, my child~" If possible, he even wanted to send himself back and change history.
"I'm not going back!" Newt almost answered the question first. He couldn't leave Peter!
