Harry looked at it carefully again: "Isn't this the same as what Luna's father wears around his neck?"

"Well, that's what I thought too!"

"That's Grindelwald's trademark."

She stared at him, her mouth wide open.

"What?"

"Krum told me..."

He repeated the story that Viktor Krum had told him at the wedding, and Hermione looked surprised.

"Grindelwald's symbol?"

She looked back and forth between Harry and the strange symbol.

"I've never heard of Grindelwald having a symbol, and none of the relevant information I've read mentioned it."

"I said, Krum thinks that the symbol carved on the wall of Durmstrang was carved by Grindelwald."

She leaned back in the old armchair and frowned, thinking about how to explain all this.

"That's very strange.

If it's a symbol of black magic, why is it in a children's storybook?"

"Yeah, it's quite strange."

Fortunately, Harry always followed her thoughts and said, "And Scrimgeour would recognize it.

As a minister, he should be an expert in identifying black magic."

"I know... maybe he thought it was an eye, like I did just now.

Other stories have little graphics on their titles.”

She stopped talking and continued to study the strange symbol, and Harry tried again.

"Hermione?"

"Well?"

"I've been thinking, I-I want to go to Godric's Hollow."

She looked up at him, her eyes not focused, but she was actually relieved in her heart. She had been thinking about how to guide Harry to talk about this topic, but now it seemed that, just as Jon said, Harry

I want to go to that place more than she does.

However, Hermione appeared to be in a state of indifference, so Harry concluded that she was still thinking about the mysterious symbol on the book.

"Yeah," she said immediately, as if she was afraid that Harry would change his mind: "Yeah, I'm thinking about it too, I really think we should go."

"Did you hear me clearly?"

"Of course, you want to go to Godric's Hollow.

I agree.

I think we should go.

I mean, I can't think of anywhere else to find it.

It would be dangerous to go, but the more I think about it, the more I think it might be there."

"Uh-what could possibly be there?"

This time, she looked just as confused as he had just moments ago.

"That sword, Harry!

Dumbledore must have known that you would want to go back there, and besides, Godric's Hollow is the birthplace of Godric Gryffindor—"

"Really? Gryffindor was born in Godric's Hollow?"

"Harry, have you ever opened "History of Magic"?"

"Well," Harry smiled, as if he was smiling for the first time in months, his facial muscles were stiff, and he felt strange: "I may have opened it, when I first bought it... just that one time..."

"But that village is named after him, and I thought you might be able to make the connection."

Hermione said that she didn't show any signs of guilt, so there was no problem when she spoke. It was just a little bit strange, but it sounded much closer to her usual style, which made Harry almost wait for her to announce that she was going to the library.

He said: "The History of Magic mentioned a little bit about that village, etc..."

She opened the beaded packet, fumbled for a while, and finally pulled out her old textbook: "A History of Magic" by Bathilda Bagshot, and turned to the page she was looking for.

After the International Statute of Secrecy was signed into effect in 1689, wizards completely went into hiding. Perhaps naturally, they formed their own small communities within the community.

Many small villages have attracted several wizard families, and these families unite to help and protect each other.

Dingworth in Cornwall, Upper Flagley in Yorkshire, and Ottery-St. Catchpole on the south coast of England are all home to wizarding families, who are tolerant and sometimes under confusion spells.

Life among Muggles.

Perhaps the most famous of these semi-wizard settlements is Godric's Hollow.

This southwestern village is the birthplace of the great wizard Godric Gryffindor and where wizard goldsmith Bowman Wright created the first Golden Snitch.

The surnames of ancient wizarding families are engraved on the cemetery, which is undoubtedly the reason why the chapel has been filled with ghost stories for many centuries.

"You and your parents are not mentioned," Hermione said, closing the book, "because Professor Bagshot only wrote until the end of the nineteenth century.

But have you seen it?

Godric's Hollow, Godric Gryffindor, the sword of Gryffindor, don't you think Dumbledore would want you to associate it that way?"

"Oh yes……"

Harry didn't want to admit that he hadn't actually thought of the sword when he proposed a trip to Godric's Hollow. For him, the attractions of that village were his parents' graves, the house where he survived, and Bathilda Bagshot.

this person.

"Remember what Muriel said?"

Harry asked suddenly, but Hermione was stunned for a moment.

"who?"

"You know," he hesitated, not wanting to say Ron's name: "Ginny's aunt, at the wedding, was the one who said your ankle bones were too prominent."

"oh."

It was a very awkward moment: Harry knew she felt Ron's name almost appear.

He continued hastily: "She said Bathilda Bagshot still lives in Godric's Hollow."

"Bathilda Bagshot," Hermione murmured, gently touching the author's name embossed on the cover of "History of Magic" with her index finger, wondering in her mind whether this person was the snake that Jon asked her to meet.

After all, a possessed person is more reliable at capturing an old lady than any other person: "Well, I think-"

Thinking of this, she took a sharp breath, which made Harry's heart churn.

He pulled out his wand and looked back towards the entrance of the tent, expecting to see a hand reaching through the curtain, but there was nothing.

"what?"

He said, both annoyed and relieved: "Why did you do that? I thought you saw a Death Eater holding the tent door open, at least-"

"Harry, what if Bathilda had that sword? What if Dumbledore had entrusted it to her?"

Harry considered the possibility. Bathilda would be a very old woman now, and according to Muriel, she was still "confused."

Could Dumbledore have hidden Gryffindor's sword in her place?

If that were the case, Harry felt it would be too risky.

Dumbledore never revealed that he had dropped his sword, or even mentioned his friendship with Bathilda.

But this was no time to doubt Hermione's reasoning, as she unexpectedly agreed with Harry's most fervent wishes.

"Yes, it's possible! Then, shall we go to Godric's Hollow?"

"Go, but be careful, Harry."

She was sitting upright now, and Harry could see that having a plan lifted her mood as much as his.

"First of all, we have to wear the Invisibility Cloak and apparate together. The Disembodiment Charm may also be useful, or do you recommend using Polyjuice Potion all the way?

Then you have to get other people's hair.

Well, I think we'd better get some, Harry, the more disguises the better..."

Harry let her talk, nodding in agreement whenever she paused, but his mind had already left the conversation, because for the first time since he discovered that the Gringotts sword was a fake, he became excited.

He was going home, to the place where he had a home.

If Voldemort hadn't been there, he would have grown up in Godric's Hollow and spent every holiday.

He will invite friends over to play...maybe even younger siblings...

It will be his mother who makes him a cake for his seventeenth birthday.

Never had the life he had lost been more real than at the thought of visiting the place where it had all been taken away from him.
