It is now April, and spring has begun to bloom in Western Europe.
But the area where Nurmengard is located is still cold, and except for a dense forest, there is no other greenery.
It looks desolate and cold, and combined with the gloomy sky, it makes people feel depressed unconsciously.
Dumbledore was older and recovered more slowly than Wayne.
He shook his head, and after he came to his senses, he followed Wayne’s example and looked towards the tower, with indescribable emotion in his eyes.
“Once upon a time, this was a holy place that many saints longed for. Countless orders that affected the continent were issued from the tower.”
“Every one of them makes the whole continent tremble. It’s a pity that…Things are different and people are different…”
Wayne curled his lips when he heard Lao Deng reminiscing about the past.
“Isn’t this all caused by you? Without your intervention, the situation would probably still be the same as before.
Dumbledore clenched his fists and smiled,”Lawrence, you are really good at chatting.””
“Wherever, let’s go quickly.”Wayne took the lead.
The two���At the foot of the mountain, still some distance before going up the mountain, Dumbledore warned:
“I didn’t tell anyone when I came here this time, so it’s illegal to infiltrate. You can’t use Apparition or fly up. Follow me closely and don’t go the wrong way and trigger the alarm.”
Wayne nodded to express his understanding and followed Lao Deng obediently.
The area of the barrier was very large, and there was quite a distance to walk up to it. However, when Lao Deng arrived here, he also started chatting about him and Grindelwald. That little thing
“Garrett and I have known each other for a long time. I had just graduated and he had just been expelled.”
Speaking of this, Lao Deng couldn’t help laughing.
“Durmstrang, who was not opposed to the study of black magic, could be expelled. One can imagine how dangerous he was at that time. Wayne was also happy:”The Dark Lord, you have to be different from a young age, isn’t Tom the same?””
“Some are similar, but more are different.”Dumbledore thought for a while and said seriously:
“Gellert’s attitude towards black magic is completely different from Tom’s. Tom is obsessed with the pleasure and power that black magic brings to him, but Gellert…”
“In his eyes, whether it is black magic or other magic, they are essentially tools he uses to achieve his goals.”
“The reason why he studies more black magic is because his talent lies in it, and…Killing is faster.”
Dumbledore was silent for two seconds:”At that time, he and I had like-minded ideals because of our pursuit of the Deathly Hallows, and we became good friends who talked about everything.”
“But Aberforth felt that I was bewitched, and he had many arguments with Gellert and me, which eventually led to a melee between the three of them.”
“No one noticed the arrival of Ariana 517. A magic spell hit her. Maybe it was mine, maybe it was Gellert, or maybe it was Aberforth. It doesn’t matter anymore.”
Dumbledore’s body was trembling slightly, and his eyes became moist.
Even after nearly a hundred years, it still hurts to the bone when he thinks of the scene at that time.
Wayne remained silent and allowed the old man to continue talking.
“Since then, I have truly realized that although magic is endlessly charming, it cannot fill the void in the soul.”
“After losing Ariana, my relationship with Aberforth was completely broken, and my heart was broken.”
“From then on, Gellert and I parted ways.
Wayne sighed:”Then why did you come to Hogwarts?””
“Why?”Dumbledore raised his head and let the tears return to his eyes.
“My initial thought was just to escape, to escape Godric’s Hollow, to escape the disputes and troubles of the outside world.”
“But later, I discovered that little wizards are the best medicine in the world. Seeing them thrive, my heart was replenished and repaired.”
Dumbledore shook his head:”I tried to make them understand that magic is not everything, but it didn’t seem to be successful.”
“Don’t think so. Wayne comforted him:”You just taught a Tom and a large group of Death Eaters, and the good ones are still in the majority.””
Dumbledore’s expression was stagnant, and he pointed at the boy helplessly.
He knew that Wayne was making a joke and deliberately enlightened him.
Well, it must be right.
Old Deng suddenly remembered that Wayne usually had this style, and he was a little unsure again..While talking, the two of them had walked halfway, and now it was Wayne’s turn to ask questions.
“Speaking of which, what would you have done if Ariana’s incident hadn’t happened?”
Dumbledore stopped and looked thoughtful.
“Very interesting question, no one has ever asked me that”
“if nothing happened…Maybe together we really will change the world.
He suddenly joked:”Maybe you won’t be born at that time.” Wayne nodded in agreement:”Yes, why are my ancestors all Muggles?””
Grindelwald’s thinking is more advanced than Voldemort’s. He does not discriminate against mixed-race wizards, nor does he actually discriminate against Muggles, but he regards Muggles as enemies.
It is very likely that in the war between wizards and Muggles, Wayne His lifelong noble ancestor was slaughtered, so of course nothing happened to him.
“What about the Deathly Hallows? If all three are gathered together, can the dead really be resurrected?”Wayne asked again.
“I have no idea.”Dumbledore shook his head (cfba):”According to legend, the Deathly Hallows is a treasure given by the God of Death to the three Peverell brothers, but I am more inclined to think that it is a prop made by the three great wizards themselves, just like Nico’s magic. Like stone”
“Perhaps in a few thousand years, Nico’s magic stone will be praised as a treasure given to him by some god.”
“How does the Elder Wand work?”
Dumbledore was not surprised that Vern knew about the Elder Wand.
He had a very good relationship with Newt and Nico, and these two people would not simply treat Vern as a twelve-year-old child and tell him very normal
“Very powerful, but not suitable for me. The Elder Wand longs for fighting and killing from the bottom of its bones. I am not a qualified master.”
“Have you ever thought about destroying him? I have read many legends that this wand will bring misfortune to its owner.”
Dumbledore sighed:”Sorry, I’m a layman.”
“Even though I no longer believe in the legend of the Three Deathly Hallows, as long as there is a glimmer of hope…I will try it”
“understand.”
Wayne nodded slightly. He understood what Dumbledore’s pain was.
Ariana’s Obscurus physique caused a tragedy for the family, and the obsession in his heart could never dissipate.
Finally, they arrived under the black tower, The squib guard who was guarding him had already come forward with confusion.
Dumbledore glanced at Wayne. The young man sighed and waved his hand.
Immediately, the squib guard returned to his seat in confusion and fell asleep.
“You are really good at summoning people”
“No, I just want to test your confusion spell. It looks good now. There will be no problems in this year’s Charms exam.”
“Are you telling me something?”
“Just take it as such, after all, the second-year spell exam has not had new tricks for many years, and Filius is really lazy.”
The two of them walked up the stairs without saying a word and came to the door on the top floor.
Wayne saw the nameplate on the door. In addition to the room number, there was a very small line of writing below.
“For the greater good (for the greater good)” this sentence was not proposed by Grindelwald, but Dumbledore was the first to say it.
In the end, Grindelwald practiced the famous saying for half his life.
From this sentence It can be seen that Dumbledore was also a hawk when he was young.
There is a saying that Wayne thinks is very appropriate.
The forbearing lion is actually a snake.
In terms of personality, Gryffindor and Slytherin are not that different. Many, the biggest difference is nothing but courage.
Taking a deep breath, Dumbledore opened the door.
In the room, an old man with almost only skin and bones was leaning against the corner. Because he was too thin, his facial features were extremely… Protruding, it looks weird and scary.
The most unforgettable thing is the pair of eyes with one blue and one gray. It’s just such a beautiful eye, but now it exudes a turbid light, which is regrettable.
“really rare…”The old man finally spoke and said in a hoarse voice:
“You have not come here for decades, but in the past few years, you have come twice.”
Ven found that the old man’s eyes never fell on him for a moment after he came in. He only had Dumbledore in his eyes.
“He is Gellert Grindelwald.”Dumbledore ignored Grindelwald’s sarcasm and said calmly:”My former best friend.”
At this time, Grindelwald seemed to have discovered Wayne, and looked at him with interest.
Then the smile gradually disappeared because of Dumbledore’s appearance.
The clothes, the most common standard robe of Horwarts, But the badge of the little badger on it is particularly dazzling. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
In his hand, he was carrying a suitcase. Although the style was different, as soon as it was connected with the clothes, the memories of the dead began to attack again. Him.
In terms of appearance, he was much more handsome than that annoying guy, but the shy smile on his face made Grindelwald furious.
The most important thing was that from the pocket of this handsome boy, he suddenly A furry head came out and looked around curiously.
It almost let him break through the defense.
Dumbledore also noticed something was wrong in his eyes and smiled bitterly in his heart.
It had been so long, how could Gellert still hold such a grudge.
However , Wayne’s first words made Dumbledore dumbfounded and Grindelwald completely broke through.
“Mr. Grindelwald, I have known you for a long time. I have heard Senior Newt mention you many times.”
“He said that if he saw you, let me say hello on his behalf.”
When you are angry to a certain extent, there won’t be much expression fluctuations on your face.
Grindelwald was in this state at this time. He just sat there quietly, looking at Wayne expressionlessly, and the air in the room was filled with emotion. As if frozen.
There was no sign of an explosion of magic power, and the aura of the first generation Dark Lord was enough to intimidate people.
But this move had no effect on Wayne. The young man still smiled gently and said a little embarrassedly:
“I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wayne Lawrence, a second year Hufflepuff student.”
“Wayne Lawrence…”Grindelwald murmured in a low voice and repeated Wayne’s name.[]
He remembered that the Hufflepuff student with the strange phoenix that Dumbledore had mentioned the last time he came over seemed to have this name.
“Albus…”Grindelwald looked away and looked at Dumbledore
“Are you finally going to choose to end me?”
“Why do you say that? Dumbledore looked puzzled:”I have never had such an idea.””
“Is it? Grindelwald sneered:”I thought you brought this kid here just to piss me off to death.””
Dumbledore:”…….”
“I never thought you could still joke.”Dumbledore himself sat on the bench and motioned for Wayne to sit down.
“I brought Wayne here just because this incident is related to him and he can help.”
“Doesn’t mean anything else”
“Is there anything happening in the outside world that gives you a headache?”Grindelwald played with the weeds in his hands and said without raising his head:
“Needless to say, it has nothing to do with me, I am too lazy to care.”
As expected of the person who knows Dumbledore best in the world. When he entered the door, Grindelwald saw his slightly wrinkled brows and guessed the purpose of his visit.
“Garrett…”Dumbledore still wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Grindelwald impatiently:
“I’m just a prisoner waiting to die here, and a dark wizard who once brought trouble to the continent. Don’t talk to me about those big things.”
He has an extraordinary relationship with Dumbledore, but that doesn’t mean he supports anything the other party does.
That was the case before. If Dumbledore hadn’t stopped him, the world would definitely not be what it is now.
What bothered him the most was Dumbledore’s character of worrying about everything. Is this the greater interest you said?
Dumbledore looked sour.
Unexpectedly, he got off to a bad start and was blocked without even stating his purpose.
Wayne With a snap of his fingers, a table of sumptuous food slowly appeared on the table, and he said hello
“Professor, you haven’t had breakfast yet. Come on, let’s have some together.”
“also.”Dumbledore nodded and actually tasted the food with Wayne.
“This apple pie is good. Did you get it from the kitchen?”
“No, this was done by Gardevoir”
“Well, the craftsmanship is much better than that of the kitchen elf, but the taste feels familiar.”
“Maybe you ate at Nico’s? Gardevoir learned many of his skills from Nabi.”
“I see.”
Looking at the two people feasting, Grindelwald’s eyes gradually became dull, and his throat trembled unconsciously.
The last time he had a normal meal was brought by Dumbledore for Christmas in 1991, and it passed in the blink of an eye. It’s been a year and a half.
It would be a lie to say that he is not hungry.
But the two of them have no intention of inviting him to eat together, which makes Grindelwald very uncomfortable.
“This guy…”
Grindelwald looked at Wayne with an evil look.
Sure enough, Hufflepuff doesn’t have a good thing.
The old freckle ruined his plans all day long, chasing him from New York to Paris, and from Paris to Berlin.
Now there is another younger one who seems to have a close relationship with the older one and has such a good relationship with Dumbledore….
Grindelwald felt that his heart, which had not been much disturbed for decades, became violent again.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the change in his demeanor, and a faint smile appeared on Dumbledore’s face.
You old arrogant…You have to let someone with Wayne’s temperament deal with you.
After eating and drinking enough, Wayne waved his hand and the leftovers on the table disappeared, not even a bone was left.
Instead there were bottles of magic potion
“Professor, I just thought about it, if the soft one doesn’t work, then I’ll do the hard one.”
“Since Mr. Grindelwald refuses to listen, let us provide some small help to help him understand the principles of justice.”
“This is a powerful veritaserum, five times more effective than normal medicine. This is an ecstasy, and a hypnotic potion. This…Sorry, this is a love potion, you should not use it”
“If you give all this to Mr. Grindelwald, I won’t believe that he doesn’t do it.”
Ven excitedly introduced all the potions, and the two old men were dumbfounded.
Dumbledore was even more numb.
Does Wayne usually bring these messy things to school?
Grindelwald also looked at it blankly. Hold him.
This boy…Are they Dumbledore’s students or his students? after a moment of silence
“Hahahahaha!”Grindelwald laughed suddenly, and finally stood up from the haystack.
A breath of beast resurgence also erupted.
“Interesting, Albus, I was wrong. This guy is completely different from Newt.”
“Don’t you need my help? Yes, but I have a request”
“any request? Dumbledore looked at him calmly:”It’s too much. I won’t agree to it.””
“Very simple.”
Grindelwald’s eyes were stern, and the courage that belonged to the first generation of Dark Lord finally appeared again.
“Let me try your best as a proud student. If it satisfies me, I will do whatever you ask me to do!”.
