After listening to everything, Dumbledore looked at Blake and Hermione in surprise.
He had originally assumed that both children came from wizarding families, or at least that Hermione did.
Yet it turned out that they had all been born in the Muggle world.
Blake had even lived in an orphanage since childhood.
Moreover, both of them had only recently learned that magic truly existed.
“I always thought I possessed some kind of special ability.”
“So I usually avoided other people and secretly practiced on my own…”
“It wasn’t until recently that Hermione told me this power was actually magic.”
Blake added a few more words.
In a way, he was deliberately explaining why his Transfiguration was far beyond that of an ordinary newcomer.
Since he had mistaken the accidental magic he had released from a young age for a superpower and repeatedly practiced it, the level of Transfiguration he had displayed now seemed much less difficult to accept.
After saying this, Blake felt somewhat relieved.
Fortunately, when he had faced the Hidebehind earlier, he hadn’t used any formal offensive spells.
Otherwise, coming up with a reasonable explanation wouldn’t have been nearly this easy.
Sure enough, Dumbledore didn’t become suspicious.
Instead, he was struck even more deeply.
Since Blake hadn’t received his admission letter yet, that meant he didn’t even have a wand.
A child who had never received systematic magical education and didn’t even have a wand could actually perform Transfiguration to this extent through wandless magic!
If he eventually got a wand, what level would he grow to? You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Just then, the corner of Blake’s mouth twitched slightly.
The system had just informed him that the chest generation had failed.
Useless system!
After recovering from his shock, Dumbledore let out a soft sigh and then revealed a gentle smile.
“You two are incredibly fortunate to have survived, children.”
“Hidebehinds are not easy magical creatures to deal with.”
“However, the courage and judgment you displayed just now were indeed far better than I expected!”
“If this had happened at Hogwarts, I would definitely have awarded twenty points to each of your respective Houses!”
At this point, Dumbledore looked at Blake again.
“By the way, you still haven’t told me your name.”
“Perhaps after I return to Hogwarts, I can help you check your exact date of birth.”
“The Book of Admittance should have your name and birthday recorded in it.”
Hermione had already introduced herself, but from the moment they met, Blake had never formally given his own name.
“Then I really appreciate it, Professor!”
Blake immediately acted extremely excited.
“My name is Blake… My full name is Blake Grindelwald!”
Dumbledore’s eyes instantly widened.
“You… What did you just say your name was?!”
“Ding! Detected an emotion of extreme shock!”
“Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have obtained a Supreme Chest!”
“What the hell! It actually gave me the highest-level chest directly?!”
Blake was so excited inside that he almost laughed out loud.
However, he continued to maintain an innocent expression on his face, looking as though he had no idea how much of a shock his surname would cause Dumbledore.
Blake dared to reveal his real surname on the spot naturally wasn’t an impulsive decision.
Hogwarts possessed a Book of Admittance.
All children who had experienced accidental magic and awakened sufficient magical power would have their names automatically written into the book by the Quill of Acceptance.
In other words, Blake’s name should have already appeared in the Book of Admittance.
Once he actually reached the age for enrollment and Professor McGonagall prepared to send his admission letter, she would inevitably see that extremely famous surname.
Afterward, she would certainly tell Dumbledore about it as well.
Sooner or later, Dumbledore was going to find out that his surname was Grindelwald.
Since the truth was destined to be impossible to hide, it was better to reveal it voluntarily now and earn a chest first.
Judging from the result, Blake’s judgment had clearly been correct.
At this moment, a Supreme Chest radiating dazzling light was quietly stored inside the system space.
Blake desperately wanted to open it immediately and see what was inside.
But this clearly wasn’t the right place or time.
…
Dumbledore took several deep breaths in succession before finally managing to control his emotions.
