Chapter 1068 Where is the treasure, so is the heart (two in one, [-] words)
The whole world is guessing when the British Wizarding Wars will start another shocking war.
Nearly half a year had passed since the Death Eaters attacked Stark's house during last Christmas and were surrounded and annihilated.
Although the two sides have constant friction and local wars are frequent, there is basically no major war, but they are unexpectedly restrained.
What everyone is waiting for is a large-scale battle such as the bloody dragon dance at Buckingham Palace, the werewolf annihilation battle, or the defense of Azkaban... this kind of large-scale battle.
Many people have speculated that one party may make a big move this summer.
But I never expected that the two forces would go to war at the same time, with such a big move, so much investment, and so many casualties.
What's more, such a "summer offensive" that attracted worldwide attention would have to be anxious for a while, not to mention lasting for a summer?
But in the end, in just one night, the curtain came to an end.
If it weren't for the bloody battlefield, you wouldn't be able to fake it, and you might even suspect that the two sides were fighting each other across the air.
But no matter how unreal, the significance and impact of this battle are far-reaching.
In this battle, Voldemort's troll army was wiped out, the vampire army was scattered, the Hebrides were occupied, and the air supremacy was taken away.
The results are astonishing!
Later generations of magic historians, when compiling the "History of Wizarding Wars", will call this battle the turning point of the Second Wizarding War, no matter who they say.
Of course, these are all things to follow.
For those who are in this historical torrent, they still cannot clearly realize the importance of this battle.
But don't get in the way people, are greatly encouraged and uplifted.
Many wizards, who have never experienced Grindelwald, experience the exciting years of Europe.
But at least the memory of the first Wizarding War more than ten years ago is still fresh.
That war spanned the 70s and almost wiped out a generation.
Now Voldemort is stronger and more powerful, and Dumbledore, who was struggling to support the overall situation, is also older than before.
Many wizards pessimistically believe that this will be a protracted battle, and even the defeat is certain.
But who would have thought that a "summer offensive" would achieve many victories?
And the battle situation didn't rot, instead, it ended neatly like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves?
Is it true that all Death Eaters and reactionaries are paper tigers like in Granger's speech last year, "A Spark Can Start a Prairie Fire"?
Soon, more details of the war were continuously leaked out.
Everyone originally thought that the commander in chief of the battle was Dumbledore, or at least the Minister of Magic Burns.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be Stark, who had just graduated for more than a month and was not yet 20 years old.
And when the war started, Dumbledore wasn't even in England, he was out looking for reinforcements.
When they knew this, everyone was dumbfounded.
That's right, Stark is indeed famous all over the world, even more than Dumbledore.
The reason... is that he has saved many countries, is a genius, a war hero, and the Akali store owner who became a hit in the Quidditch World Cup.
In particular, he won several medals, which brought him countless prestige bonuses.
But commanding a war is a completely different field.
Even the younger you are, the more disadvantaged you are, because you have less experience after all.
And what about William?
Commanding the three main forces of the Ministry of Magic, the Order of the Phoenix, and the European Allied Forces at the same time, and launching a pivotal battle?
The key is to win beautifully.
This is completely unimaginable!
This extremely ostentatious "leakage" of intelligence, of course, has the British propaganda mechanism, which is playing a role and even fueling the flames.
In times of war, people need not only heroes, but also great leaders.
Heroes can inspire people, but they cannot lead a country to victory.
Great leaders can.
In any case, William began to transform from a war hero to a leader.
This is also Dumbledore's purpose.
Even if one day, he is gone, I hope someone can take over his banner and continue to lead everyone.
And as he fueled the flames, William's reputation skyrocketed again. Even in the UK, many people think:
The times have changed.
Dumbledore's afterglow has begun to dissipate and is about to enter the Stark era.
Let’s not mention these ferments of public opinion for the time being.
Even a large number of sailors from the Ministry of Magic, well-known "dog food" leaders from various countries, and leading parties who brought their own dry food to promote William... and so on, it's all for later.
At this moment, for William, he cannot relax yet.
It didn't even reach the point of "after fighting for so many years, I can't enjoy, enjoy".
There are so many things...
The troops have to clean up the battlefield, take over the Hebrides, and prevent the Death Eaters from destroying the dragons on the island.
There is also the aftermath of the war. A large number of injured wizards, werewolves, giants and centaurs need to be admitted to magic hospitals.
Most importantly, the issue of burial and memorial service for the war dead and family benefits must also be implemented one by one.
In fact, there are not many places to choose from in the burial area of the war dead.
There are only a few famous wizarding villages in England.
Dingworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire, Ottery-St. Catchpole on the south coast of England, and Hogsmeade...
According to Dumbledore's opinion, Godric's Hollow was finally chosen for the memorial monument and burial place.
Godric's Hollow holds a high place in history.
It is the birthplace of Gryffindor; the wizard goldsmith Bowman Wright, who built the first golden snitch here;
Dumbledore grew up in the valley, too; and Harry, the Boy Who Lived here...
Behind the valley, there is also a wizard cemetery.
The cemetery is filled with the names of ancient wizarding families, including the Peverells from the Three Brothers tale.
A small valley, half the history of magic... It's not an exaggeration at all.
The memorial ceremony was held in mid-July.
However, before the memorial ceremony began, William did not appear in the cemetery immediately, but was waiting for someone to arrive.
Sitting in a chair, he glanced at Cedric from the corner of his eye as he read the newspaper.
I saw that Cedric was full of anxiety, and he had walked around the table 69 times.
William took a sip of his tea and said softly:
"What's the hurry, Cedric. It's not time yet."
"Can you not be in a hurry? That's Grigovich, will he be safe?"
Before Cedric finished speaking, the disappearing cabinet on the ground clicked.
He hurried to open the cabinet, and an old man got out from inside.
After Grigovich came out, he patted the dust off his body and said hello:
"Long time no see, William."
"Hello, Mr. Gregovich." William also nodded.
Really long time no see.
The last time we met was during Easter last year.
At that time, William and Hermione went to Durmstrang to prevent Voldemort from killing Sirius.
Then, the two went to find Grindelwald, and by the way, brought Gregorovich out of the north of the North Sea.
The old man lived in Santa Claus Village.
I haven't seen him for a year and a half, Grigovich has become fatter and his face is extremely rosy.
It seemed to be very nourishing.
Seeing that Gregorovich was looking at the room, William took the initiative to introduce:
"This is one of my safe houses, in Godric's Hollow.
You can live here temporarily, it's safe. "
He snapped his fingers and poured the old man a cup of tea.
Grigovich sat on the sofa, picked up the cup, and hummed:
"Safe? Nordic is the safest."
"That's not necessarily true. Voldemort has been looking for you. Mr. Ollivander has been arrested." William said softly.
Gregorovich shuddered.
He had gotten the news a long time ago, and even planned to hide in the United States for a while.
But I don't know why, the United States quickly became chaotic, and even the Muggle Capitol exploded.
It is said that there is now a three-party melee between the Magic Congress, the Cleaners and the Muggle government... the whole of North America is in chaos.
Coincidentally, Britain won the war, Gregorovich thought for a while, it was safer to be with William.
The old man couldn't help but despair, why did he make two generations of Dark Lords miss him?
It's not the Elder Wand who made a fuss!
But what the hell, that ominous wand is no longer in his hands. If he was killed, it would be so wronged.
It's all because of his bad mouth, talking nonsense back then that he had the Elder Wand, wouldn't it be good to make a fortune with a muffled voice?
"Don't worry, as long as you live here, I guarantee your safety." William twirled the cup and comforted.
He changed the subject and said with a smile: "But this time I invite you to come because I have something to ask you."
"what's up?"
"I want you to make an Elder Wand."
"..."
Grigovich glanced at William with small eyes. If he had the ability, how could he be reduced to this level?
"It doesn't have to be real, just a copycat version." William smiled.
"But I need you to do the same as the real thing, and it looks like an antique.
It is also more powerful than ordinary wands. "
As a master wandmaker, Gregorovich also studied the Elder Wand.
He is the wandmaker who knows this wand best.
Even Gregorovich was able to replicate some of the properties of the Elder Wand.
For example, when the wand he made releases the same offensive magic, it is more powerful than other wands.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a large share of the European wand market, and he would even have the reputation of being one of the top three wand makers.
William continued:
"But I don't need the wand to be too durable. It's better to fight for a while, and it will suddenly break."
Gregorovich narrowed his eyes, the request was odd.
I don't know which unlucky ghost William is trying to cheat.
As a master of wands, he is definitely not allowed to do such a thing, but William's request...
"can!"
"Thank you." William stood up, pushed Cedric in front of the old man, and said with a smile:
"He's Cedric, and he's your fan. He can temporarily help you. If you want any material, just ask him."
"I know you. Garrick wrote me a letter before, bragging that he had a student with good talent."
Gregorovich looked at Cedric and snorted softly.
Let this little boy do the trick... William obviously wanted him to steal the teacher.
But it doesn't matter.
Grigovich is so old and has experienced so much, he has long been bearish on these things.
But he still asked: "Hey, boy, are you still single?"
Cedric froze for a moment, not understanding what the old man meant.
Grigovich said with a smirk: "This is a serious craft, and only a single person can fully learn it.
I know the hobbies of you British gay people. If you have a boyfriend or something, I advise you to break it up quickly. "
"..."
……
……
William walked out of the room and walked towards the tomb alone, leaving only Cedric to learn the craft with Gregorovich.
Making such a wand, of course, is to deceive people.
The pit is still Voldemort.
He had taken Ollivander, and he knew about the Elder Wand, and even knew that Gregorovich had had it.
But Voldemort didn't know that the Elder Wand was later stolen by Grindelwald and passed into the hands of Dumbledore.
In Vienna the year before last, Grigovich was captured by Grindelwald, which everyone knew.
In Voldemort's eyes, he would only think that now the Elder Wand has been snatched by Grindelwald.
Once the two sides meet, Voldemort will definitely plot the omnipotent wand.
What William has to do now is how to deliver the "Old Wand" made by Gregorovich to Voldemort.
Otherwise, he spent so much energy, managing Durmstrang, and getting Grindelwald to talk with Voldemort...wouldn't it be in vain.
William soon came to the entrance of the cemetery, he pushed open a narrow door, walked along the path at the entrance of the church, and walked towards the back room.
Rows of tombstones came into view.
They stood in a large open space, looking very desolate and creepy.
The condolence monument is in the southwest corner of the cemetery, and it will take some time to walk.
After walking a few steps, William suddenly saw a familiar figure standing not far away, standing alone in front of a tombstone.
William walked over lightly, and he saw a name engraved on the mottled granite - Kendra Dumbledore.
Below the dates of birth and death, is "and ... daughter Ariana".
This is the tomb of Dumbledore's parents and sister.
The old man bent down and touched the names of his mother and sister on the tombstone with his fingertips.
And that sentence... the epitaph he carved with his own hands:
Where the treasure is, so is the heart.
"William, in fact, I have rarely come here these years, far less than Aberforth." Dumbledore said hoarsely:
"Because I'm a coward and dare not come.
When my father died, there was my mother standing at the grave, conducting the dialogue between life and death for me.
And that year, she left suddenly, and Ariana left soon after.
I could only stand in front of the tomb by myself, without any shelter in front of me.
The grief... I just can't bear it. "
Dumbledore closed his eyes and wept.
William had nothing to say and could only pat the old man on the shoulder.
After a while, he whispered: "Let's go, professor, the sacrifice is about to begin."
Dumbledore nodded, William supported the old man and walked towards the distance.
As he passed a tombstone, Dumbledore pointed to it.
William lowered his head, carefully identifying the broken, moss-covered stele.
The tombstone was so old and weathered that William could barely make out the name on it.
But he could still make out the triangle mark on the Deathly Hallows.
and Ignotus.
This is the tomb of the third of the three brothers, Ignotus Peverell.
It was because of this tomb that Grindelwald came here that summer and met Dumbledore.
Everything seems to be predestined.
Finally, the two passed another tombstone.
It is made of white marble, and the text is very clear, indicating that it is not very old.
William didn't even have to get close to read the writing.

And Epitaph - The last enemy to destroy is death.
Neither William nor Dumbledore spoke, but quickened their pace, as if they wanted to stay away from the tombstone.
Because both of them knew that with the current situation of the war, Harry was about to meet his fate that had already been pronounced:
It was time for him to die.
