Chapter 231: The Identity of the Secret Room Attacker
Chapter 671 The Identity of the Attacker in the Chamber of Secrets
Hearing Dumbledore's words, Rolf was stunned and subconsciously glanced at the old wand that the headmaster was playing with.
The old wand was clearly in Dumbledore's hands. Why did he go to Grindelwald and Gregorovitch to ask about the owner?
He couldn't be going to show off his trophies, right?
Gellert, what do you see? It's your thick and hard old wand. Now I play with it every day... Hehe!
This picture is so beautiful that Rolf couldn't help but feel cold when he thought of it.
Just when the boy was imagining it, Dumbledore narrowed his sharp eyes. He always had a sharp eye and few things could escape his attention.
Just when Rolf heard him mention the old wand, he subconsciously glanced at the wand in his hand, which was naturally captured by Dumbledore.
The old man thought for a moment and asked, "Rolf, you seem to know that the wand in my hand is the Elder Wand?"
Rolf didn't know where Dumbledore saw the clue, but since he saw it, he honestly admitted, "Yes."
"How did you know?"
Dumbledore asked this, at least it means that he didn't use Legilimency.
Rolf's mind was flexible, and he certainly wouldn't say that the memory of his previous life told him, so after thinking for a moment, he immediately found the most reasonable explanation for himself.
"During the summer vacation, I stayed at Gregorovitch's house for a while with his granddaughter Karin."
"When Gregorovitch and I talked about the Saints, he told me that he had found the Elder Wand through the Saints." Rove explained slowly:
"Mr. Gregorovitch said that one day a blond boy sneaked into his studio and stole the Elder Wand.
Gregorovitch also showed me the boy's appearance."
Rove paused and continued:
"During the Christmas vacation, I went to Godric's Hollow and visited Mrs. Bathilda Bagshot. I saw a photo of the blond boy in the cupboard in her room.
Mrs. Bagshot told me that it was Her great-nephew Grindelwald. "
Rolf looked at the wand in Dumbledore's hand and whispered:
"Since it was the old wand that Grindelwald stole, and he lost it to you in 1945, the old wand must be in your hands... This is not difficult to guess. "
Dumbledore smiled, his surprise and appreciation were written on his face without any concealment, and he exclaimed:
"Very wonderful reasoning, this wand is indeed the legendary Deathly Hallows-the old wand. "
"Since the old wand is in your hands," Rolf said curiously, "then why are you looking for Grindelwald and Gregorovitch?"
"Remember a few months ago, a mysterious wizard tried to force his way into Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets?" Dumbledore asked.
Rolf nodded.
On the day when the first project of the Triwizard Tournament ended, Rolf took Shirley, Hermione and Fleur to the kitchen for dinner.
Then, the portrait of Hufflepuff's house elf suddenly appeared and told them that someone tried to break into Hufflepuff's Chamber of Secrets.
"The mysterious wizard uses a magic called Blood Shadow, which allows his shadow to leave his body and move outside as a clone." Dumbledore leaned back in his chair.
"This magic comes from the Elder Wand, and only the owner of the Elder Wand can use it, so I am investigating the former owner of the Elder Wand."
"That person is not Gellert, I went to look for Gregorovitch, but it was not him either..."
Rolf narrowed his eyes and said in astonishment: "It can't be Akus, the owner of the Old Wand before Gregorovitch, right?"
Dumbledore did not speak. He stood up, walked around the table, and leaned over a cabinet by the door.
When the headmaster straightened up, he was holding a shallow stone basin in his hand, with a circle of symbols engraved on the rim of the basin.
He put the meditation basin on the table and asked:
"Rolf, would you like to walk with me to Gregorovitch's memory path?"
"With pleasure." Rolf said.
Dumbledore took out a crystal bottle from his pocket, which contained a silver-white thing that was swirling and floating.
He poured the silver substance from the bottle into the Pensieve, where it slowly swirled and emitted a faint glow.
Dumbledore entered the Pensieve, followed by Rolf, who leaned forward and plunged into the silver memory.
Rolf's feet left the floor of the office, and he fell through the swirling darkness, and suddenly, the strong sunlight made him close his eyes.
When Rolf adjusted to the environment, he opened his eyes and found himself standing on a country road, with Dumbledore standing beside him.
Three meters in front of them, there was a man in his early thirties:
He was short and fat, but his chest and shoulders were very thick, and his robes were tightly stretched by his round belly, but his eyes were small, and his eyes were reduced to two dots, like a mole.
He was young Gregorovitch!
Gregorovitch held a hand-drawn map in his hand, observed the terrain for a while, and walked quickly along the path.
Dumbledore and Rolf followed.
After walking for a while, Gregorovitch entered a dense forest, then turned left and saw a building.
It was a huge tomb with carvings, hidden among the ash trees and waist-deep brown grass.
The shape of the tomb was a flat-topped four-sided pyramid with six steps, which looked very much like a stepped pyramid.
In front of the tomb, there was a tombstone with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows carved on it, and below it was written in English:
Otavius Acus,
Rest Here
The life of the dead will never stop!
The whole tomb looked very new, as if Acus had been buried here not long ago.
Gregorovitch waved his wand, and the tomb split in two, revealing a huge coffin.
He opened the coffin again, and saw an old man lying in it, with his hands clasped in front of his chest, and a wand in his hand.
The old man was not dead yet, but he was very old and almost dying, and was about to die completely as the owner of the Elder Wand.
But this was no longer possible.
Gregorovitch showed a covetous look when he saw the Elder Wand. He raised his wand and shouted: "Expelliarmus."
The Elder Wand fell into Gregorovitch's hands, and he ran out of the tomb without thinking too much.
The old man sat up tremblingly, watching Gregorovitch snatch the Elder Wand in despair.
Rolf narrowed his eyes and stared at Akus in the coffin.
His face was full of wrinkles, his hair was gray, he had a white beard, and his left eye was closed, as if he was blind.
"Did you recognize who it was?" Dumbledore asked.
Rolf was silent for a while, and said in disbelief:
"He is the director of the International Cooperation Department of the Ministry of Magic who replaced old Barty Crouch?!"
