Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 466 Grindelwald's Jealousy and Wrath! The 'Evil Alliance' is Established!

After flipping through the stack of newspapers, Grindelwald picked out a few of them.

These are the newspapers he picked out.

A portrait of a younger Dumbledore;

A list of Hogwarts professors' resurrected relatives, uncovered by a reporter from the Daily Prophet, includes Ariana's name.

A report details a recently compiled list of Hogwarts' new and old professors.

A publication featuring a portrait of Dudley also reported on Dudley's alliance with the British Ministry of Magic's Aurors to defeat Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Grindelwald first stared at the newspaper with a portrait of a young Dumbledore, his face filled with affection and nostalgia.

He then turned his attention to the newspaper article listing the resurrected individuals, staring intently at Ariana's name several times.

“Great, that’s wonderful! Albus is back to normal, Ariana has been resurrected, and the biggest problem between us has been resolved.”

Grindelwald murmured to himself, unable to contain his emotions, but then his tone suddenly changed, "But why didn't he write to tell me about something so important?"

Why? Ariana has been resurrected, why is he still angry with me? Why?!

Grindelwald's gaze turned fierce and sorrowful. He glared at Amicus like a wild beast ready to devour its prey, and roared again:

"Why? Tell me, why?!"

Amycus nearly wet himself in fear. Faced with the terrifying aura and furious gaze of the first Dark Lord, every bone in his body trembled and every cell shook.

"Sir...I...I...he..."

Amicus's legs went weak, and he wanted to run away, but he couldn't move at all. He could only stammer and speak incoherently, but he couldn't give any meaningful response.

Grindelwald's anger intensified.

"Sir, isn't the answer right in your hands? Why make things difficult for a nobody? I've heard a theory that's perfect for answering your questions."

"When lovers are at odds, there must be a villain interfering! That Dudley Dursley is the villain standing between you and Dumbledore!"

Voldemort, bound like a dumpling by magical ropes, seized the perfect opportunity of Grindelwald's love-fueled rage and proceeded to deceive him.

Touched by Voldemort's words, Grindelwald pulled out the newspaper with Dudley's portrait on it.

In the newspaper photo, Dali, holding a cane with the Fourth Academy's totem design, smiles happily at the camera.

"Another Newt! No, he's much worse than Newt!"

Grindelwald glared at Dudley, whose smiling face was constantly appearing in the newspaper, his jealousy surging.

He waved his hand and threw the newspapers that hadn't been picked out into the air. With his left hand, he cast a spell without a staff, releasing a magical beam that blasted the newspapers into dust.

Fragments of paper fluttered down inside the cell.

Grindelwald, still fuming, roared again:

"So many important things, so many important things! Albus has never done so many important things for me! Educational reform, ideological reform, if you wanted to reform, why did you stop me in the first place?"

"Isn't what I want to change more thorough and satisfying than what he did?!"

Grindelwald roared repeatedly, and much of the decadence he had accumulated over the years transformed into resentment at this moment.

"Yes! Sir, you must leave Nurmengard and let the wizarding world remember your renown once again. Only in this way will Dumbledore remember you and value you again!"

Voldemort was overjoyed and quickly fanned the flames and cajoled Grindelwald.

"Shut up! Do you think I'm some kind of idiot from the Carlo family that you controlled with your Soul-Stealing Curse?"

Grindelwald glared fiercely at Voldemort, his white hair and beard billowing wildly as his magic emanated, creating an extremely terrifying aura.

Although he was jealous that Dudley received special treatment from Dumbledore, he was not someone who could be easily swayed or instigated by others.

"You think I don't know what you're thinking? I know exactly what an ambitious person like you is thinking!"

Grindelwald continued to Voldemort, "You suffered a great loss at the hands of Dudley and want revenge."

You actually think you can use me to fight for you and help you rule the magical world? Such an obvious intention, and you dare to flaunt it to me? You're asking for death!

As Grindelwald spoke, another Cruciatus Curse, brimming with malice, struck Voldemort.

"what--"

Voldemort let out another bloodcurdling scream, but she did not let the pain overwhelm her will to survive and her ambition.

"I do have that thought, but are you really willing to stay in this cell and wait to die?"

Voldemort suppressed her pain with willpower, forcibly stopping her screams, and shouted at Grindelwald, "If you don't get out, you'll just rot and stink in this cell!"

The young Dumbledore will team up with the even younger Dudley Dursley to do the work that you and Dumbledore should have done together!

Wizards will forget you, Dumbledore will forget you, the whole world will forget you!!!

Shut your rotten mouth!

Grindelwald was furious. He waved his wand and used a dark magic that destroyed the ability to speak, temporarily rendering Voldemort mute.

Now, the world is quiet.

Grindelwald turned his gaze to the few newspapers he had deliberately kept, scanning them back and forth, his chest heaving, and pondered for a long time.

After a long while, he released the dark magic that had sealed Voldemort's ability to speak and slowly began to speak:

"Of course I'm not willing, but even if we're going to go out, I'll be in charge. You're only fit to be my deputy, and you'll have to sign a servant contract with me."

"impossible!"

Voldemort was getting desperate. She had come to win over Grindelwald to become a superior being, not to continue being a dog.

She previously encountered Voldemort, the second Dark Lord, and served as his henchman. Now that she has found Grindelwald, the first Dark Lord, if she continues to serve as his henchman, her life will be filled with regret.

"Impossible! My strength is not much inferior to yours. I can let you take the lead, but we can only sign an alliance contract. At most, I can let you add a few control spells to me."

This is my bottom line!

Voldemort, considering that she was now a prisoner, made the greatest concession possible.

If Grindelwald insists on signing a servant contract with her, she will eventually agree in order to save her life. However, she will definitely try to eliminate this hidden danger for herself later, do her best to bypass the contract's restrictions, and secretly harm Grindelwald.

Once you've seen the ocean, you can't be satisfied with a river. Voldemort became a legendary wizard and enjoyed the feeling of being in a position of power with hundreds of people fawning over her. She could never find that state of being humble and subservient for so long again.

"make a deal!"

Grindelwald sneered.

He had seen countless people, and he understood Voldemort's ambitions perfectly, knowing that signing a servant contract was going too far.

Voldemort's knowledge of dark magic, inherited from him, surpasses even his, and servant contracts are not 100% foolproof.

Therefore, he was prepared from the beginning to ask for an exorbitant price and then negotiate the price back when Voldemort landed.

The current outcome is exactly what he wanted.

"I value talent. As long as you're willing to follow my advice on important matters, we can sign an alliance pact. As for casting control spells on you, there's no need. You know far more dark magic than I do!"

Grindelwald gave a perfunctory smile, looked at Voldemort's complicated expression, and offered very lenient terms.

At the same time, Grindelwald used his wand to draw a magical alliance pact in the air, pushed it in front of Voldemort, and cast a spell from a distance to release Voldemort from her restraints.

Voldemort, now free, carefully examined the magical contract drawn up by Grindelwald before casting her own magical mark to complete the signing of the contract.

"Sir, you won't regret your decision today." Voldemort, having achieved her goal, spoke kindly.

"Pleasant to work with."

As Grindelwald spoke, he slowly walked to Voldemort's side, patted her shoulder, and a faint, dark golden magical light flashed and disappeared into Voldemort's body.

He did manage to cast a spell on Voldemort, but it wasn't dark magic; it was an ancient and profound form of white magic.

Voldemort was completely unaware, and Amycus, who was not far away, also did not see anything unusual because Grindelwald's body was blocking the view.

“It’s a pleasure doing business with you, sir,” Voldemort replied with a smile.

The two formed an alliance and smiled at each other, as if the previous battle and torment had never happened.

But is this alliance really an alliance?

Or, would Grindelwald really break his promise to the person he loves most, or even turn against the person he loves again, because of some reports and some outsiders' comments that are not objective?

The answer is of course... No!
