454 Chapter 454: Christmas Banquet

It was already dark when Alvin came out of the Hog's Head Inn.

After agreeing to be Professor of Transfiguration at Hogwarts, Alvin made several more demands to Aberforth.

First, he cannot tell Professor Dumbledore about Ariana's resurrection. He really wants to see if Dumbledore still dares to shoot at him when he sees Ariana.

In the near future, Alvin will not completely resurrect Ariana. First, let her observe the world in the form of a soul and then give her a physical body after she is thoroughly familiar with it.

The second is to make Aberforth a spy.

After Snape's betrayal, he loses sight of Dumbledore's side. He could only judge the movements of Dumbledore and others through outside news.

Although he has a strong predictive ability, the future is constantly changing, and it is not advisable to rely blindly on the power of magic.

Now that he had Aberforth, he would definitely put it to good use.

Although this old man was very reluctant, after Alvin released Ariana, he immediately followed suit.

"Alvin, is there really no turning back between you and Albus?"

Looking at the stars in the sky, Grindelwald asked melancholy.

Seeing that Aberforth inevitably entered this vortex, he felt that the situation was becoming more and more uncontrollable.

Albus's concern for family affection is beyond imagination. Once he discovers the truth, even Grindelwald can't imagine how angry he will be.

By then, Alvin will be irritated, and his goal of saving Dumbledore's life will be even more difficult to achieve.

"Grindelwald, there are some things you shouldn't ask me." Alvin patted Grindelwald on the shoulder, only to realize he had grown much taller.

When Alvin released Grindelwald, he was still about the same height as him, and it has only been more than a year, and he is already half a head taller.

"I never saw Professor Dumbledore as my enemy, just...he got in my way."

Alvin snapped his fingers, and Fury's figure appeared before him and then turned into a portal with sparks. The other end of the door was Arya Manor.

"If you can convince him not to be my enemy, I may even give him back the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"But if he is still obsessed, I can save his life for the friendship of the past, but his old age will not be comfortable."

After leaving a warning similar to a threat, Alvin walked through the portal and disappeared into Knockturn Alley.

Grindelwald silently savored Alvin's words, shook his head, and Apparate disappeared.

.....

Knockturn Alley.

At this time, the Arya Manor was very lively. Hundreds of large and small wizards gathered here, all of whom were the backbone and confidants of the Arya family.

It's the same scene here every year. Even before Alvin shows up, Arya brings family members together on Christmas Eve to connect.

Now it's just that there are more people, and the wizard's strength is stronger.

Alvin also enjoyed a sumptuous dinner with the core group of people in the main hall.

In addition to his few girlfriends, there are only Arya and the Crouch family.

At this time, Crouch was a little restless. After all, he was the only man on the table except Alvin.

Initially, Alvin had reserved places for Snape and Lily, but they took Harry on a trip and could not participate.

Fortunately, a slightly older woman was beside Crouch to accompany him.

It was his wife, Royce Crouch.

Alvin, who has always been good to his own people, did not put forward any conditions and directly resurrected Royce Crouch as a Christmas gift.

And when Crouch saw his wife, he was also in tears and swore that no matter what Alvin asked him to do, he would not hesitate in the slightest.

Even to assassinate the Prime Minister, he will act immediately tomorrow.

"By the way, Barty, come with me to meet the Prime Minister after Christmas."

Alvin suddenly thought of something and told Crouch, who was cutting steak for his wife.

This surprised Crouch.

Are you going to assassinate the Prime Minister?

"What's the matter with you?" Seeing his reaction, Alvin was a little strange.

Crouch hurriedly covered up. "It's nothing, I'm just a little surprised that you are suddenly looking for the Prime Minister, and we have nothing to do with him."

As the pinnacle of Muggle's power, the Prime Minister naturally knows the existence of wizards. Still, the two generally do not interfere with each other.

Unless there is a major event, the wizard will say hello there.

Just like the last time Sirius fled, Fudge found the Muggle side and asked them to publish the wanted notice together.

Usually, the Ministry of Magic really didn't want to have too much contact with Muggles.

"Oh, it's not a big deal." Alvin didn't suspect him, handed Astoria a bowl of onion soup, and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth for her before explaining.

"The plan is about to start. I need some Muggle scientists to help me complete some things. It's too much trouble to find it myself. It's better to do things for us through official forces."

Crouch's heart froze. He naturally knew what the plan meant but didn't expect Alvin to be ready so soon.

That's a big project...

But he had no objection at all.

The greater the number of wizards, the greater his power.

Crouch is also an ambitious wizard and is naturally happy to see it.

After the agreed time, the two didn't discuss business at the dinner table.

Alvin cherishes the time when his girls are by his side. Usually, either Fleur is not by his side or Cassandra is not.

Now that everyone has finally gathered together, he is also thrilled.

Only now, suddenly, there is a problem.

Whose room is he going to visit tonight...

After thinking for a long time, after the dinner was over, Alvin decided to work hard tonight and visit them one by one.

Astoria stopped him with a blushing face and whispered something in his ear.

Luna's ears also turned red.
