"Dumbledore..."

He closed his eyes and thought about the answer to the question.

"Obviously Albus Dumbledore will not have a son.

If it is Albus Dumbledore's son, then Grindelwald should attack Hogwarts now.

So, it’s the other Dumbledore members.

"At this age, Dumbledore's father would have died long ago, so there is only one...goat boy left."

John opened his eyes. He had never seen such a thing as the proprietress in the Pig's Head Tavern.

"Did you notice it, Grindelwald?"

Grindelwald's guess is good. Even if John knew that Grindelwald was plotting against Credence, he would not or could not stop it.

That's a smart man.

He has seen that John does not belong to this world.

That’s why he is so unscrupulous.

Let John see how to accomplish his great deeds.

"Nagini, is this how you gradually turn into a snake?"

John could already roughly guess what happened next.

Credence is targeted by Grindelwald, and Nagini...

Recalling that when he saw Nagini, she had turned into a snake.

She lost her beloved, her only family.

And all this possibility comes from the baby abandoned by the Dumbledore family.

Black energy reverberated from John's eyes, and he said coldly: "You really make me sick, Dumbledore."

First Ariana, then Credence.

This was the first time that he showed the principal's disgust completely.

Under the bright and great image, there is an escape from the silent sister.

He only gave Grindelwald the love he professed, or Grindelwald when he was young.



Credence meets the man who gave himself to Baribone.

Irma Dugard.

When seeing each other, Credence was puzzled.

That was a half-elf woman.

Likewise, it’s not Credence’s mother.

"I'm not your mother, I'm just a servant." Irma looked Credence up and down with a smile and said, "He was a beautiful baby then, and now he is a handsome young man. I have always missed you."

Credence's heart trembled, and the wand in his pocket glowed slightly.

"They...why don't they want me?"

When she asked this question, Nagini felt Credence's uneasy heart and squeezed his hand hard.

"Why is your name written on the adoption documents?"

There are too many questions. Credence wants to know the reason why he was abandoned.

What did I do wrong to be abandoned by my family?

Nagini felt the aura of danger, and she became uneasy.

As a blood-cursed orc, when she lost, she also gained a different sense of danger than ordinary people.

A hunter is quietly watching the prey in the field.

Credence and Irma were unaware.

Irma said: "I gave you to Mrs. Barebone because she should be able to take care of you."

Credence still wanted to ask.

But fate wouldn't let him speak.

A person emerged from the black wall.

The hunter hired by the British Ministry of Magic, Grimson.

He didn't hesitate, green light shot out from the wand, tearing the sheets and clothes to pieces.

The sound of a body falling to the ground was heard, Credence disappeared, and Nagini screamed.

Grimson thought he was sure of victory.

But when he looked up, thick black smoke hovered on the ceiling.

It was Irma, the servant, who fell.

Credence's mind was filled with rage, and he swooped down silently.

Grimson has the capital to be disliked, and his armor curse turned into a hemisphere to cover himself.

Even Obscurus' intensive attacks like bullets could not break it.

Credence broke through the attic and was about to attack Grimson, but he saw the other person smiled and disappeared.

Changing from Obscurus back to his original form, Credence looked at the corpse sadly.

He took out the glowing wand from his pocket, and the grief in his heart attacked his sensitive and fragile heart.

Nagini hugged him slowly.



After completing his mission, Grimson was waiting in a dark alley.

Grindelwald appeared in front of him.

The decision that the British Ministry of Magic thought was smart was actually extremely stupid.

Grimson has long been Grindelwald's man.

For the greater good.



Carrying a depressed and sad mood, Credence and Nagini returned to the safe house.

John raised his hand without looking back, and the wand from Credence's pocket flew into his hand.

"What happened to you?" John brewed a pot of potion again.

The wand was lightly tapped, and the magic power inside caused the crucible to boil.

"Family? Or enemy?" John asked casually.

Credence said lowly: "I almost knew the truth."

​ John was noncommittal about this.

Like a child who has found an adult, Credence huddled in the corner and told what happened today.

Nagini comforted him.



Chapter 552 Hello, Hogwarts

John leaned on the table and glanced at Credence.

Seeing him crying, John sighed.

"Credence."

Credence slowly raised his head.

"Are you pursuing family, or the truth?"

Family or the truth?

Credence couldn't explain clearly. What happened today was only one step away from the truth.

"If your family re-accepts you on the condition that you leave Nagini," John walked over and stared into Credence's eyes, "will you accept it?"

"No, it won't be like this..."

John said lightly: "Blood Curse Orc, listen to this name, they are not even willing to call her a witch."

The blood-cursed orcs were used as exhibits together with those magical animals and were displayed in the circus.

Credence couldn't say it, because he had clearly understood over the past few months that John was telling the truth.

"Family and Nagini..." Credence looked up at Nagini, and when he saw the worried face, he was stuck in a decision.

John didn't push him, he wanted to see if this was worthy of sympathy or help.

Originally, he had a transactional relationship with Credence, so he could have completed his transaction and left.

But not now, John glanced at Nagini who was looking at Credence wholeheartedly.

John knew how much suffering Nagini would suffer in the future.

He will not let his friends have any regrets.

But the premise is that Credence is a person worth saving.

You can say that Slytherin is selfish and does not have the self-sacrificial spirit of Gryffindor.

But if you have a friend, you must hope that he is a Slytherin.

Because they are selfish and narrow-minded, they can only help the people they care about.

John can never be a saint in this life. He has all the qualities that a Slytherin should have.

If one day his friend becomes an Obscurial, he will not lock them up for fear of hurting others.

But try every means to save your friends.

He waited quietly for Credence's answer.

I thought it would take a long time, but unexpectedly, after Credence looked away, he said without hesitation: "I choose Nagini."

"You are right, but I don't want to give up looking for my family."

Credence stopped curling up and stood up slowly.

"My family has become my obsession. I want to know why they abandoned me. I just need an answer."

He spoke so loudly that even Nagini became unusually shy.

John smiled and handed the wand to Credence.

"In that case, from now on, every drop of your magic power belongs to me."

Credence took it confusedly, not understanding why.

But John didn’t give him an explanation, just let him do it.

Finding that Credence's magic was a little slow to release, John simply used mind magic to speed him up.

This made Credence feel depressed overnight.

Nagini was very distressed, but John was not.

He placed the wand that glowed again in the crucible, pouring magic power into it to make it boil quickly.

Finally, the liquid in the crucible solidified, leaving only a drop of colorless liquid in the crystal.

"Reducto"

The solid cracked and exploded, leaving only a drop of colorless liquid floating in mid-air.
