HP: I am Cedric Diggory

"Haha!"

"You did a great job, Cedric! This thing called boxing is really good for exercise and seems very exciting!"

Hagrid's friendly laughter echoed around the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

"Of course, I've been training for a long time, and this practice can improve my reaction time!"

"In a wizard duel, quick reactions are crucial!"

Cedric quickly swayed his body from side to side and threw left and right hooks rapidly.

Each punch hit the target Hagrid had marked!

"At the same time, this type of practice can even help me subdue enemies up close when I've lost my wand!"

…

Meanwhile.

In the headmaster's office.

Professors Dumbledore and McGonagall were also watching Cedric chatting with Hagrid through the crystal ball.

For a long time…

Only then did Dumbledore look away, clasped his hands on the desk, tilted his head, and praised:

"What a novel theory!"

He looked at the human-shaped target Cedric was swinging at, his eyes slightly narrowed behind his half-moon glasses:

"I feel like I wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow!"

"Yes, he always has some very special ideas!"

Although Professor McGonagall had been out running around these days,

She would basically return to Hogwarts at night, dine with the other professors, and occasionally chat with Cedric.

Many of the young man's comments made her think deeply and with concern.

For example, how to reform the Ministry of Magic so it could truly become an organization that serves the magical community.

Or establishing shared values.

So that wizards could respect principles such as freedom and equality.

Considering it all,

Although Professor McGonagall felt happy, she also couldn't help but feel deeply worried.

Such an ambitious goal.

Would it completely overwhelm the young wizard?

You must know that many times, when disappointment accumulates too much, people easily start to go to extremes.

And each of Cedric's goals is terrifyingly grand!

"Albus, I'm really worried about him!"

Professor McGonagall expressed her concerns.

Dumbledore remained silent for a long time and then slowly said:

"Guiding the young wizard correctly is exactly what we must do!"

"Filch, Hagrid, Snape, and even yourself recognized this cheerful boy in just two days."

"This situation reminds me of a certain mutual friend!"

Professor McGonagall was surprised.

She couldn't even maintain her usual serious expression.

"Do you mean... Grindelwald?"

This is a being much more terrifying than Voldemort.

Grindelwald's most powerful skill, aside from his magical achievements comparable to Dumbledore's,

Was his strong charisma.

He once used his sharp tongue to deceive all the prisoners in Azkaban.

Even…

Instigating a rebellion to help him escape from prison.

In Père Lachaise Cemetery,

Grindelwald even used a speech to easily persuade hundreds of wizards to agree with his ideas, including many who had originally been searching for him.

Like Queenie Goldstein, Credence Barebone.

These people had vehemently opposed him before.

Isn't this analogy a bit too exaggerated?

In Professor McGonagall's mind, Cedric cannot be compared to Grindelwald in any case.

"This metaphor is actually a bit extreme!"

Dumbledore also had to admit that such an accusation was too harsh.

But it wasn't his fault.

His life was like walking on thin ice!

His best friend Grindelwald and his dear student Tom had both become disasters in this world.

"Perhaps it's destiny."

"But we must also take precautions and ensure there isn't a second Grindelwald!"

The office fell silent for a moment.

Dumbledore wasn't lost in thought for long; he quickly snapped out of his memories.

"However, we can also look at it from many angles."

Dumbledore picked up the quill from the desk, quickly wrote a letter, and woke Fawkes, who was standing on the perch next to him.

"Give this to Mr. Ollivander for me; I have something to ask him!"

McGonagall understood.

Dumbledore must have wanted to inquire about Cedric's wand.

The wand chooses the wizard.

Basically, the wand held by a wizard can reflect the wizard's true intentions.

"And one more thing!"

After Dumbledore sent the letter, he turned his attention to Professor McGonagall: "I hope you can teach him the Patronus Charm!"

"I see!"

Professor McGonagall nodded.

The Patronus Charm is also magic that can test a wizard's character.

Magic is a wonderful existence.

Each wizard has their preferred magic, and the distinction between white and dark wizards comes from this.

It's not something that can define a wizard's character.

But it can still be used as a reference.

Because it goes straight to the wizard's true heart.

Snape's Patronus was a doe like Lily's for the first half of his life, and then it became a stag when he was protecting Harry.

Soon.

The letter Dumbledore sent was answered.

He handed the envelope to McGonagall, who opened it and began to read the response:

"Good day, Headmaster!"

"I remember very clearly the Cedric you asked about. He was a child with special qualities and very charismatic. His arrival seemed to comfort my heart!"

"As for his wand..."

"That's a very old wand!"
