While everyone was preparing to arrange the bags for the Christmas holidays to meet their parents,
Snape came in search of Grindelwald
Snape "Mr Grindelwald A word"
Valerius "Yes"
Snape "Headmaster wants to see you, now"
Valerius "Should I go to his office now?"
Snape "Yes and the password is 'Acid Pops'."
After coming back to his dorms,
Nott "Why did Professor Snape call you"
Valerius "He informed me that the Headmaster is looking for me"
Nott laughed "Good for you..."
Valerius nodded, while he kept his things and went to meet the Headmaster.
Valerius went to Dumbledore's office using the password
Valerius thought 'The password has been changed, it was raspberry while I, Adrian, and Angelia went to sort out a minor problem'
Dumbledore noticed the unique Nordic Blonde White hair
Dumbledore "Welcome Valerius!"
Valerius "Thank you, sir how may I help you in this late at night?"
Dumbledore "Well, it is just small talk, young man"
Valerius "It's a pleasure, Professor"
Dumbledore "The world is so big, Valerius even in this big world, we can't find a talent that shines in Alchemy"
Valerius "Anyone can learn Alchemy, provided correct guidance, it is not impossible to learn without guidance, but it will be challenging and complicated"
Dumbledore "As a fellow Wizard, I am so curious and even jealous of the patent you have filed as well as the Knowledge you have"
Valerius "I just combined the Protean Charm with Magical frequency networking by creating some unique Arithmetic numbers as their home ID, I would like to apply things I have learned in real life, and that's why I can achieve the results, I wanted"
Dumbledore "Boy, first congratulations for mastering a NEWT level spell and what is that Magical frequency networking all about?"
Valerius explained how he got the knowledge from the library.
Dumbledore "Anyway, your new invention is excellent, but we can't leave the old way of delivering things"
Valerius "I know, when you use owl, it will benefit the No-Maj to expose our world, but within the circle of wizards this could be time-saving and be more private, it is a small box length of a watch you see. Carrying will not be tedious"
Dumbledore "No-Maj, what do you think about them, Valerius?"
Valerius "They are not bad, compared to us Wizards, they are good in improvement"
Dumbledore "You are correct, how is your Grandfather did you meet him"
Valerius used wandless magic and closed the door of the Headmaster's office by telekinesis and locked it.
Dumbledore "Wow, such powers how did you achieve it"
Valerius "You Have No Right to Ask Old Man"
Dumbledore noticed a change in respect and tone.
Valerius "All these years, I don't know how you keep him in that Castle all alone, yet you love him to the point you ask me about him"
Dumbledore "That's my matter"
Valerius "I want to know something"
Dumbledore "What is it?"
Valerius "I know about the order of Phoenix and the fact that my mother was part of that little group"
Dumbledore frustrated ". . ."
Valerius "You never attended my mom's funeral, despite her hatred for Gellert because of you, you were a family for her, not even my original gramps got affection of her daughter, Why is that?"
Dumbledore "She died at the time which was crucial for the fate of Magical Britain, THE-ONE-WHO-MUST-NOT-BE-NAME, defeated by THE-BOY-WHO-LIVED"
Valerius "TOM RIDDLE'S ISSUE DOESN'T MATTER!"
Dumbledore "You are getting so emotional"
Dumbledore thoughts "This boy knows about Tom's Identity"
Valerius "Then tell me who killed my mother"
Dumbledore "I …I don't kn…know"
Valerius found he was hiding the information
Valerius wanted to escape further Questioning and revealing things to Dumbledore, so he used emotions as a tool to escape.
Valerius "This group,
Who killed my mom,
Shall face my wrath,
I will personally kill this group myself,
Even if it is the Minsters or the Supreme Mugwump himself,
There shall be no mercy"
Dumbledore "The path of revenge you are trying to walk is tough and dangerous"
Valerius "You have made a lot of mistakes professor and your honesty is no-where near to advising me"
Valerius walked out as the door unlocked itself.
By this Valerius avoided further interrogation and did not leave any information about his Gramps or himself,
Valerius "That senile old man, his Legilimens is so strong, it was breaking my mind layer by layer, since I have 17 layers, it was easy for me to resist."
Valerius walked straight to Professor Snape,
Valerius "Professor Snape, I want some additional knowledge on potion making"
Snape "Asking at this hour, have you lost your mind"
Valerius "I will come to the point, I want access to the restricted Section books on Hogwarts"
Snape without a second thought, took his wand and said "I SEVERUS TOBIAS SNAPE HEAD OF THE HOUSE SLYTHERIN GRANT VALERIUS ALAIRE GRINDELWALD TO ACCESS THE BOOKS IN THE RESTRICTED SECTION"
Snape "You will be able to access those books after Christmas since you are Isa's child, I granted you, it's hard to say no, but you look more like your mother, that's why"
Snape thought "Come back my precious sleep and let Lily's dream continue"
Valerius thought "Is he drunk? Then good for me, the books on restricted section, it gives me a lot of knowledge on rituals"
Valerius went to his dorms and packed his bag for tomorrow's journey.
And began to sleep soundly

Dumbledore's thoughts while facing the mirror of Erised "Gellert, It seems he loves his mother a lot, it's my mistake, I was not very skilled enough to check about the members of the Order, even though you made sure all of your follower's daily lives were not disturbed and also helped them to make their live wealthy"
