28 Nurmengard Castle

1st September, Hogwarts express.

Blair was sitting in the compartment, Drawing a circle with unknown Symbols all over the page, He was trying to modify the Horcrux ritual. If successful he would be able to separate the soul from a person's body. He was thinking about making Olivia a completely new Body as her Brain was completely damaged. This ritual was only the beginning, He had to figure out the way for creating a perfect body and how to put her soul in it, without any side effects. There were so many things to do.

The compartment door opened, Revealing two Black haired boys, One of them was wearing a round framed Glass with a white shirt and black pants. The other boy was also wearing similar clothes. Blair gave them a quick glance before going back to creating his ritual. As for the 2 boys, They sat opposite to him and continued to talk with each other.

After 5 minutes the compartment door again opened, This time it was a red-haired girl and a greasy black haired boy. Both of them sat to his left side. Blair didn't pay them any mind, he continued to do his work. Soon the greasy-haired boy and the other two boys began to argue on which one is the best house. Whereas the girl continued to observe his ritual drawings. After 5 minutes of continuous noise, Blair got annoyed. He took out his wand and casted a voice cancellation spell around him before continuing his work. The other occupant looked at him for a second before continuing their argument.

Blair didn't attend the sorting ceremony, Instead he went to the room of requirements and started to read more books on soul magic.

The days in Hogwarts were pretty lonely to Blair. He would be in the room of requirements all day, reading books, or practicing high-level spells.

After three months of experimenting and modifying, Blair was finally able to complete his soul separation ritual. It was very complex and a time-consuming ritual. It needed a highly skilled wizard at least 3 hours to successfully perform it.

Blair's next goal was to create a new human body for Olivia. Unfortunately, there was no book in Hogwarts library that will help him in this kind of subject, He even searched the entire Knockturn Alley for the book, But failed to find one. After some research, he found out that, There was only one known person alive, who had experimented on humans and has immense knowledge in this field, He was also one of the most knowledgeable person in dark arts, Grindelwald, The most powerful dark lord of all time. Even though he was alive Blair didn't know where he was imprisoned. So that's why right now he was standing in front of his former Professor.

" So you want to know where Grindelwald is imprisoned" The History professor said in his usual drowsy voice.

"Yes sir, I was just curious about what type of prison can hold the most powerful dark lord of all time" Blair asked the professor in his usual cold tone.

"Zzzzzzzzzzz"

"Professor?"

"Zzzzzzz"

"PROFESSOR"

"OHH...Location, right, He is imprisoned in Nurmengard Castle, Austran Alps. he is under constant servelian..Zzzzzzzzz" The professor again went to sleep in mid-sentence. Blair left the room with a sigh, He got what he came for anyway.

20 December, St Mungo.

"So today I am going to Austria. You known, to meet the most powerful dark Lord of all time. I wonder what he is like. Probably a psychopath who likes killing too much. Also today I found out that Traveling is really costly, Those bastards took 5 Gallons for a portkey to Austria. I wonder what we would have done If we had gone traveling to multiple countries and Even though I can create a portkey, I still need to visit that place at least once to make it." Blair said while placing the newly brought Daisies on the window stool. There was warmth in his voice, without a single hint of coldness in it. His grey eyes full of affection, Unlike his usual cold self. He took a chair and sat in front of Olivia.

"I also Brewed a Polyjuice Potion all by myself. Yes, I alone brewed it, even though it took me several attempts and quite a bit of money, But I finally did it. I know you would have done it in your first try, I was never good in potions."

After having a one-sided conversation for while he got up from the chair.

"Take care of yourself" He caressed her head before exiting the room. His warm grey eyes again turned to its usual cold self.

Outside the Hospital, He took out a wooden stick and said.

"77009"

He felt a familiar suction like feeling before the world began to rotate.

Nurmengard Castle, Austran Alps.

Blair was standing in front of Nurmengard Castle. It was a gigantic tower made of Black rocks and 'For the Greater Good' written on top of the front gate. Blair took out his Sharp Pitch Black wand and began to walk towards the entrance. The wand has started to change its shape, its spiral Design has begun to fade, Transforming into a sword-like shape with a thin handle.

As he walked near the entrance, He saw a Guard reading daily prophet, while comfortably sitting on a chair beside the giant door. He pointed his wand towards the guard, Still walking in a steady pace.

"Suspedum Animus"(This spell essentially reduces someone to a soulless state indefinitely, unless the counter-curse is uttered)The guard didn't even know what hit him. He froze in a sitting position, still holding the daily prophet. Blair took a hair from the guard and struck 'Legilimens' On him before transfiguring him into a ferret.

He dropped the hair into a small glass bottle before drinking it in one go. The polyjuice tasted like rotten butterbeer, mixed with an egg. After his transformation into the guard, he entered the tower. Blair was surprised by the security in the tower. Even though nearly 25 years have passed since Grindelwald's imprisonment, 30 hit wizards were still stationed in the tower, to monitor him.

According to the guard's memory, Grindelwald was imprisoned on the top floor of the castle with an advance ward surrounding him. The ward prevented Grindelwald from performing any wandless magic.

Blair walked through the circular stairways towards the top floor, greeting every single hit wizard he came across. He tried to act like the usual behavior of the guard.

On the top of the tower, there was only one door and Blair knew that Grindlewald was sitting behind it. He slowly took out his wand before entering the room.

"Interesting, and who might you be?"
