Stolen Wands Are Always So Obedient / The Dark Lord Would Rather Die Than Become a Professor (Not) ...

Finally, under Harry's relentless attacks, Dumbledore's armor and the wind blades unleashed by the giant eagle collapsed simultaneously!

"Expelliarmus!" But at that moment, Harry had already transformed back into human form from the giant eagle, and with a swing of his wand, he unleashed a fully charged Expelliarmus at Dumbledore!

"Expelliarmus!" Dumbledore, caught off guard, unleashed a full-force Expelliarmus. The two beams of light clashed fiercely in mid-air, creating a series of crackling magical explosions!

"Harry..." "This is bad..."

However, the two girls watching the battle then discovered that after a moment of confusion, Dumbledore actually used his powerful magic to gradually gain the upper hand and forcefully pushed Harry's spell back!

At the same time, Harry heard a sharp cracking sound right next to his hand that sent a chill down his spine!

"Damn it..." He glanced at his right hand out of the corner of his eye and found that the usually sturdy Occamy Silver Cage was now cracked by the magic!

If this continues, I might lose my wand...

"Harry, find a way to defeat me!" Just as Harry hesitated, Dumbledore suddenly shouted, "Defeat me by any means necessary in this direct confrontation, only then can I entrust the Elder Wand to you with peace of mind!!"

"If that's the case... Hermione, lend me your wand!"

Harry then understood Dumbledore's good intentions to some extent, so he gritted his teeth and used his other hand to Summoning Charm to grab Hermione's wand!

"Expelliarmus!!"

The Holly Wand also released a dazzling beam of light, but it did not shoot directly at Dumbledore's body. Instead, it quickly merged into the spell previously Ginkgo Wand. The two energies of the same origin combined to form a torrent ten times more dazzling than before, which instantly engulfed Dumbledore's body!

A flash of light, Dumbledore was thrown to the ground by the powerful impact, his Elder Wand spinning towards Harry...

Chapter 802 The stolen wands are all very obedient

As the Elder Wand Accio, Harry handed the Holly Wand to his right hand and caught the disarmed trophy.

Harry could feel the strangely shaped, slender Elder Wand throbbing in his palm, emanating waves of joyful magic... The last time he felt something like this was when Harry received the Ginkgo Wand.

One of the Deathly Hallows, the Elder Wand... This thing seems to fit me unexpectedly well.

So, is it really just because it has the characteristic of defeating those who have chosen a master...?

Harry looked down at the wand, finding its presence unusually strong, constantly drawing his attention to it and making him oblivious to everything around him...

"Albus!"

Harry was jolted awake by Grindelwald's anxious shouts and looked up at the headmaster he had knocked to the ground.

By this time, the other person had already managed to get up from the ground with Grindelwald's help.

"Professor Dumbledore ... ugh!" Harry wanted to step forward, but suddenly felt his legs go weak and his body swayed involuntarily.

"Harry!" *2

The two women were startled by the sight and quickly rushed forward to support Harry, one on each side.

"I'm fine, I just didn't expect that casting a primordial spell would take so much energy..." Harry gently comforted the two girls, trying to force a reassuring smile.

He felt a burning pain in both hands; the magic flowing through his body seemed to have turned into knives, constantly cutting into every nerve in his hands.

In order to defeat Dumbledore head-on, Harry, unwilling to use other non-magical trump cards, ultimately chose to cast the stacking spell of the Twin-Core Wands alone, which naturally took a huge toll on him.

Fortunately, it seems there's nothing seriously wrong; it's just a simple case of overexertion of magic power. With some rest, she should recover.

"Harry, you're really surprising." Dumbledore came to Harry's side, his face showing obvious surprise. "That was magic released by Twin-Core Wands. So... your own wand core is also Fawkes's tail feather?"

Dumbledore had already recognized Hermione's Holly Wand, and was now very curious about the origin of Harry's wand.

"My wand was custom-made by a wandmaker in North America with Newt's help in collecting the materials. The core is indeed from the same wood as the Holly Wand," Harry explained earnestly.

He had specifically requested Hickbara Wolfe to replace the wand core, perhaps it was this desire to remain connected with Hermione that ultimately led to the creation of this unique wand...

"Yeah, it really is Fawkes's tail feathers~" Luna Lovegood repeated their words softly, her dissatisfaction and resentment practically overflowing. "When we get back, I'm going to steal a phoenix from the Headmaster's Office..."

"Haha, is this little girl jealous?" Grindelwald suddenly grinned mischievously. "I remember Albus telling me that Fawkes's tail feathers made another wand, so if you're annoyed by their public displays of affection, why don't you just steal that wand and join them?"

"What did you say?"

Luna Lovegood's eyes widened instantly. She even temporarily ignored her fear of Grindelwald and the teasing in his words, showing how seriously she took this matter.

Reminded by the other person, she remembered... another wand made from Fawkes' tail feathers was now in Voldemort's possession!

So, if we could snatch that wand...

"I'm asking you... if I really manage to get my hands on that wand, will it obey my commands?" Luna Lovegood asked Grindelwald seriously.

"You're tempted, aren't you? I knew it!" Grindelwald chuckled matter-of-factly. "Don't worry, wands are actually quite bullying; once you can take them, they'll eventually submit to your control. Even wands with Unicorn Tail Hair cores, known for their loyalty, will eventually submit to a new master after a while."

"That's good." Luna Lovegood nodded, then stared wide-eyed at Harry.

"Uh... Voldemort's wand, of course we can steal it without any problem." After a moment's thought, Harry immediately gave an affirmative answer.

He deliberately let Voldemort get his Yew Wand back, just to catch him off guard by using the same core. After that, Voldemort would definitely have to change his wand, and the same core would lose its protective effect.

Therefore, it would be better to just snatch the Yew Wand and let the Twin-Core Wands continue to exert its super attack power!

Moreover, if three wands of the Twin-Core Wands could be collected, their power might rival that of the Elder Wand...

As Harry pondered this, he realized he had unconsciously drifted back to the Elder Wand, and for a moment he frowned slightly.

"That's how it is when you first get the Elder Wand," Dumbledore said, seeing Harry's distress and offering understanding comfort. "Its temptation is strong, but I believe you can gradually suppress it, because you won the wand in a fair duel, and it will soon yield to a powerful master like you. Besides, the Elder Wand has some practical powers; for example, you can use it to repair your own wand."

"Like this?" Harry tried to cast Mending Charm with the Elder Wand, and the shattered Occamy Silver Cage on his Ginkgo Wand was instantly restored to its original state.

"This is truly an amazing power," Harry exclaimed with delight upon seeing it.

"Kid, I've discovered that the power within you is truly amazing!" Grindelwald suddenly asked Harry, "The water dragon you summoned earlier, and the wind blades you unleashed when you transformed into Animagus, those were elemental magic, right?"

"Yes... I have fused the elements of water and wind. But it's impossible to achieve this fusion without being Obscurial."

After a moment's hesitation, Harry finally decided not to keep anything to himself.

Harry never used elemental magic as a trump card, nor did he care to let others know that he possessed such power, because elemental magic had been extinct for too long, and if he relied on himself alone, the path would be extremely difficult.

Therefore, Harry would be happy to have more people help him with his research; after all, if anything were to be achieved, he would definitely be the first to benefit.

After all, there's still a gap between ordinary wizards and elemental wizards like him— the Obscurus.

"I know that too, only the Obscurial can fuse..." Grindelwald shrugged regretfully. "I once thought about having Aurelius fuse with an element, but it failed in the end due to the lack of the necessary medium. What a pity..."

The medium Grindelwald mentioned was probably the Universal Solvent, but he didn't know at the time that such a treasure was hidden in Slytherin's Locket.

If the elements could be fused, perhaps the Obscurus could be controlled to some extent, and Aurelius might not have met such an end.

As the only Obscurial in history to live past twenty, he is indeed quite a pity...

"But then again, if you had mastery over the elements, the Elder Wand would actually be a perfect match for you."

Grindelwald's next sentence, however, caused Harry, who was lost in thought, to freeze in place...

Chapter 803 The Dark Lord Would Rather Die Than Be a Professor

"Albus and I were both wielders of the Elder Wand, so we know a lot about its properties."

Seeing that Harry had clearly taken the bait, Grindelwald smiled smugly and said, "I'm usually too lazy to be a teacher, but since you brought Albus here, I might as well reluctantly give you a lecture."

"Speaking of which, Gellert, I also have something to say..." Before Harry could answer, Dumbledore interrupted with a hopeful look, "Would you... like to come back to Hogwarts with me?"

"What?!" *N

Dumbledore's suggestion not only stunned Grindelwald, but also shocked Harry and his two companions.

So... after meeting once, are they going to completely disregard everything and rush headlong into each other's love?!

"Albus, do you know what you just said?" Grindelwald looked intently into Dumbledore's eyes. "You said you wanted me to leave with you, and to go to the school where you teach?"

"Yes, I know. And I no longer teach, so you won't see the comical way I taught children that you described in your early letters," Dumbledore said with a smile.

"So... damn it, I'm not going!" Grindelwald seemed to suddenly realize something. "I already told you, I hate being a teacher, you can forget about it..."

"Gellert, I didn't intend for you to become a professor." Dumbledore seemed to instantly understand Grindelwald's thoughts, explaining softly, "Coming with Harry this time has made me realize many things... Gellert, I can no longer bear this life of being separated from you, only able to arrange a marriage through owls. Seeing Harry and the other two always fills me with emotion..."

"Our lives are coming to an end. In the final journey of our lives, why can't we let go of everything from the past and stay peacefully by each other's side?"

A heartfelt confession from a 110-year-old man would move even Harry, Grindelwald, and his friends, let alone Grindelwald himself.

"If you insist on saying it that way... fine, fine, I agree!" Grindelwald sighed helplessly. "Albus, you have to remember... back in my youth, it was you who made me who I am, releasing a potential Dark Lord into the world; now that we're both old and gray, it's you who personally rescued the former Dark Lord from his cage!"

"So I will take full responsibility for you~" Dumbledore smiled and nodded, making a sincere promise. "Didn't you keep complaining that I always tried to control you? I promise I won't anymore..."

"That's more like it..."

"But you can't keep saying those reckless things!" Grindelwald had just begun to smile with satisfaction when Dumbledore suddenly changed the subject, his expression turning serious. "Furthermore, you'll have to take a professorship at the university; and your surname might also need to be changed..."

"Damn it! Albus, you're trying to completely control me!!"

Before the empty Nurmengard Castle, a roar of extreme resentment suddenly echoed.

In the end, the former Dark Lord, though reluctant, eventually went back with Dumbledore, albeit with some hesitation.

As for Harry, G. A., and D. A., they did not leave that point in time immediately, but instead returned to Hogwarts with G. A. A. A. A. D.

Harry wanted to stay a little longer during this period, partly because of the elemental magic and the Elder Wand that Grindelwald had mentioned. He hoped the two old men could give him some pointers so that he could better adapt to the Elder Wand.

Additionally, Harry hoped to find out some information about what happened back then indirectly.

The only clue that connects him to Luna Lovegood, the Scamander, the Flamel couple, and others seems to be the Battle of Paris in 1927. As the villainous boss at the time, Grindelwald must have known the most inside information.

For events that happened in the 'past,' it's practically impossible for Harry to find out about them in his own timeline. After all, the Dark Lord is dead, Albus Dumbledore has gone mad, and the remaining people who know the truth are all bound by terrifying forces.

Nicolas Flamel's neck would be repeatedly snapped whenever he tried to speak, and as for the Scamander, they couldn't even manage to utter a sound...

However, in this timeline, Harry did not participate in that period of history, and Grindelwald and Dumbledore here are not subject to that strange constraint.

This way, Harry could at least extract some useful information from their memories... such as Grindelwald having a very important vampire henchman Herbert Degar Vani.

After the group returned to Hogwarts, Dumbledore found an excuse to introduce Grindelwald to the school's faculty and staff. As for his new name, Grindelwald introduced himself as 'Gellert Bathilda Bagshot'.

Furthermore, according to his private jokes, the reason he used his great-aunt's surname was because the patch of grass behind old Bathilda's house was truly unforgettable...

Then, Dumbledore, expressionless, deducted a month's salary from his paycheck.

His integration into Hogwarts went relatively smoothly. The previous Dark Lord had never carried out any terrorist activities in Britain, so even though he had a name similar to the Dark Lord, few people would make that connection.

Moreover, with Dumbledore's authority looming over them, even if someone did have doubts, they would absolutely not dare to show them.

After all... if GGAD were to reunite, they could dominate not only a small part of Britain, but the whole of Europe would be a piece of cake.

As for the professor Grindelwald will be temporarily assigned to...

"I want to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts!"

Before Dumbledore try to trick him, Grindelwald was already clamoring to ask his old lover for a teaching position, as if the guy who had sworn he'd rather die than become a teacher was no longer him.

Moreover, in order to get Dumbledore to agree, he even came up with a rather good reason for himself.

"We're all dabbling in Dark Magic, so I'll see just how powerful this kid's curse really is! He says each Dark Magic professor's term is only one year... Hmph, Albus, just you wait and see, I can keep doing this until you retire!"

"I've been looking forward to retirement, so it's decided then. After Alastor Moody steps down, I'll leave the Defense Against the Dark Arts course to you."

Dumbledore naturally accepted Grindelwald's offer of service... well, it's hard to say whether this was something he had planned in advance.

Grindelwald seems quite willing to fall into any trap set by Dumbledore.

Harry was also very interested in Grindelwald's choice and thought it was a pretty good new development, because if the storyline of the 'original book' were to be followed, next year's Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts should be that old witch Umbridge.

Now that the Winky King Glenn has taken over Mad-Eye Moody, the Ministry of Magic probably won't be able to cause any more trouble.

Chapter 804 The Last Bite of Melon Before Departure

After waking up in the morning, I enjoy a delicious homemade Chinese breakfast. In the morning, I practice magic or take my dragon and cat for a walk. In the afternoon, I visit the Headmaster's Office to chat with the two old men over tea, occasionally pretending to be 'Harry Potter' to gather (or fabricate) some student gossip. Then, in the evening, we all get into a big fuss...

Okay, this last step is still just a wishful thinking~
