Chapter 1: Lucas Grindelwald
(1991, July, Austria.)
The drizzle made ripples on the lake at Wolfe Hill.
An old European-style villa is located on the shore of the lake.
On the third floor of the villa, a blond boy was concentrating on looking at the heavy book in his hand.
"Lucas, it's time to rest, today is your 11th birthday."
The boy lowered his head and replied softly, "Understood, aunt Vinda."
Vinda Rosieir came to the boy and reached out to close the book in the boy's hand.
"Lucas, a combination of work and rest is the most effective way to learn."
Being suddenly pulled away from the ocean of knowledge made Lucas slightly annoyed, but looking at the woman in front of him, he could only sigh in his heart.
Vinda Rosier, the thorny rose of France.
He has to say that the other party is really beautiful. Black hair, deep green eyes, noble and elegant temperament, really fascinating.
A Pity that she was over ninety years old.
Although he doesn't know what method she used to maintain her youthful appearance.
Yes, he is a transmigrator.
Before crossing, he was an average man, and after crossing, he became an orphan without a father or mother, but fortunately, he was adopted.
And the person who adopted him is also a big celebrity, Gellert Grindelwald. The famous dark wizard that was given the title of Dark Lord by many people.
But in his view, the other party is just a fool who went around shouting "for the greater good" and got himself imprisoned.
After Lucas learned of his identity, he began to work hard. Grindelwald swept most of Europe back then, and offended many people.
Now he lives a comfortable life in Nurmengard. But Lucas, who goes by the Grindelwald surname, was not so lucky and would probably have to deal with all those enemies just for it.
"Aunt Vinda, aunt Vinda?"
Lucas waved his hand, calling softly to the woman in front of him.
Vinda Rosier recovered and smiled apologetically.
Facing Lucas' blond hair and blue eyes she is always distracted. Because Lucas is so much like that man when he was young.
Looking at the child in front of her who is still staring at herself, she quickly handed over the letter in her hand.
"This is your letter. I'll be in the kitchen, remember to come and eat."
Watching the other party leave the room hurriedly Lucas smiled a little.
Every time he used his appearance to tease Vinda, her reaction was very funny.
"Austria, Mr. Lucas Grindelwald, first room on the third floor, Wolfe Lakeside Villa."
Although such a day has long been expected.
But he really got a letter from the magic school.
With his hands trembling slightly he turned the envelope on its back.
Looking at the school emblem composed of a snake, a lion, a badger, and an eagle, Lucas paused as he opened the envelope.
Unexpectedly, Hogwarts would send him an acceptance letter.
Didn't Hogwarts only recruit wizards of British nationality?
Or was he originally born in England?
After all, the Book of Acceptance at Hogwarts will automatically record the magical baby names in England.
Lucas suppressed the question in his heart, took out the parchment inside the envelope and read it.
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore (Supreme Mugwump of the ICW, Grand Sorcerer, first-class Order of Merlin, and Chief Warlock of Wizengamot)
We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Enclosed is a list of required books and equipment.
Semester is scheduled to start on September 1st, and we will be awaiting your owl no later than July 31st.
Vice Headmistress
Sincerely, Minerva McGonagall"
There are two letters in total, aside from the admission letter there is also a list of books and items needed for school.
Lucas put the envelope away.
He looked at the remaining two letters, they are letters from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons respectively.
As for why those two schools would admit him? Lucas wasn't surprised.
After all, these two schools recruit students from many European countries.
Especially Durmstrang.
This school, famous for the dark arts, would definitely welcome Lucas very much.
Just when he was hesitating which school to choose. Suddenly, a mechanical sound came to his mind.
[The system is fully charged, the Divine Grade achievement system is being bound...]
"system?"
Since arriving in this world to the present, Lucas thought he was the one-in-a-thousand unlucky one with no goldfinger.
"It seems that Merlin still takes care of me." Lucas chuckled lightly.
[The system is successfully bound, the first binding, the system will open the platinum lottery pool for two hours, the prize pool is opening...]
"Platinum lottery pool?" Lucas's head was full of question marks.
Watching the countdown to the lottery pool that appeared in front of him.
Lucas frowned and asked, "System, tell me about your functions in detail."
"Lucas, there's something I need to let you know. There's something wrong with Abernathy, and there's even worse news."
At this moment, Vinda's voice came from outside the door.
It's just that her tone was a little rushed this time.
It can make Vinda, who could survive even after losing the war, become like this.
It is enough to prove how serious this matter is.
