Civilization and Harmony Hogwarts

"I would like to hear more about it." Gellert's expression gradually became serious.

"I think the moral of the story in The Tale of the Three Brothers is that excessive greed can only lead to death," Albus said. "Simply put: if you are too greedy, you will die sooner."

Albus continued to explain: "Antioch Peverell, who was greedy for power, hoped to get the most powerful wand in the world, and wanted to conquer death with great power, but he was the first to be Death reaps life."

"Cadmus chose the resurrection stone, hoping that the resurrection stone would prolong his life. He was equally greedy, but not as greedy as Antioch, so the second one was taken away by death."

"Ignotus was a humble man who only asked death for the cloak of invisibility that would enable him to live a long and happy life, so he lived to a very old age and eventually passed the cloak to his son. "

"Actually, I always thought it was ridiculous. The three Peverell brothers tried to conquer death, but they sought power from death itself. Isn't this similar to asking the shop owner for money, and then buying the shop with the money they asked for?" ?” Albus uses a simple metaphor to illustrate the nature of the behavior of the Peverell brothers in A Tale of the Three Brothers.

"So I think it's extremely ignorant to say that 'possessing the Three Hallows can conquer death', but..." Albus paused, and then said, "The Three Hallows all have powerful mysterious That's for sure."

"Of course," Gellert agreed, "I never thought of conquering death."

"Death is just another great adventure" said Albus and Gellert in unison.

They looked at each other in surprise first, then looked at each other in surprise, and then the two looked at each other and smiled.

The sharpness and strangeness between the two disappeared without a trace in this smile, but a sense of harmony and tacit understanding emerged spontaneously.

It never occurred to Albus that he could hear the same views on death as he did from wizards of his own age.

And Gellert finally understood the extent of the excellence of the youth that Aunt Bathilda said.

As long as it is a creature with self-awareness, it will be involuntarily afraid of death, even if it is as strong as a wizard - the stronger the magic power, the longer the lifespan - cannot face death directly.

Perhaps some people, some wizards, after experiencing the ups and downs of life and appreciating the splendor of life, can face death calmly, but young people like Albus and Gellert, who are in their prime, have just begun their lives. I am afraid to avoid the topic of death, how can I have such a frank and natural view.

Although smart people are proud of their intelligence beyond ordinary people, they are often bored because they have no common language with the people around them.

Maybe Gellert, who is as proud as he is, doesn't worry about it, but at this moment, the young man in front of him can actually resonate with him in thinking, but Gellert can't help being very happy.

They use "death" to draw the topic, and then continue to expand the content and expand the scope. The more they chat, the more involved and excited they become...

Gellert originally thought that he could endure mediocre people chattering in his ears and expressing shallow and ignorant opinions-in a high-minded manner, he thought that no one in this world could understand him, but he didn't expect that fate I gave him a big surprise today.

He never imagined that someone could keep up with his thoughts, and even... be able to guide his thoughts.

……

Bathilda poked her head out in the kitchen, watching the two young people from Gellert's unilateral targeting at the beginning to getting along well now, and nodded with satisfaction.

Then leaned back, no longer paying attention to the fiery atmosphere between the two of them.

Until the sun was half-covered and half-covered in the sky, Bathilda estimated that it was almost time, and then she came out: "Children!"

Albus and Gellert Zitch turned their gazes in Bathilda's direction.

"Although I'm sorry to interrupt you, but unfortunately, it's getting late." Bathilda pointed to the clock on the wall, and then motioned them to look out the window, "It's getting dark, so should Albus Back home, after all—”

"For a handsome boy like Albus, it's dangerous to be outside at night." Bathilda teased mischievously.

Albus chuckled, then stretched out his hand to support his head: "Look at me, I have forgotten the time."

"The conversation with Gellert was really enjoyable." Albus's sincere eyes fell on Gellert, "Gellert has given me a lot of inspiration."

Regarding Albus's "sweet talk", Gellert couldn't hide the smile on his face, tried his best to press the corners of his mouth, and smiled "reservedly": "Of course - getting along with Albus has also benefited me a lot .”

"Okay, okay!" Bathilda blamed a little, "Knowing that the collision of your thoughts is too happy, I didn't even drink a sip of water after talking for so long."

"Be sure to pay attention to the time next time!" Bathilda said, sending Albus to the door, "If Albus has time, he can come to this brat at any time, anyway, he stays in the house during the day and does not go out. of."

Albus waved his hand to signal Bathilda not to see him off: "Okay."

"Maybe I'll bother Gellert again tomorrow afternoon." Albus looked past Bathilda and looked at Gellert questioningly.

"That book—the original Tales of Beedle the Bard," Albus reminded.

"Waiting for your arrival." Gellert didn't know when he stood up from the sofa, and followed Bathilda all the way to look at Albus with reluctant and unsatisfactory eyes. Now facing Albus' reminder, immediately Just show that you are welcome.

"Then... goodbye." Albus bid farewell to Gellert softly, and then turned to Bathilda, "Ma'am, I'm going back first. I will visit tomorrow afternoon, please forgive me."

"You don't need to be so restrained." Bathilda looked at Albus lovingly, "If you want to come to Gellert, you can come here anytime. If the door is closed when I'm not here, you can just call Gellert to open the door."

"Yes, ma'am." Albus nodded to show that he knew.

Then, under the gaze of Bathilda and Gellert, Albus slowly turned away.

"See you tomorrow." Gellert murmured in a trance, looking at the back of Albus leaving.

At this moment, as if he heard something, Albus in the distance suddenly turned his head and waved goodbye towards the door of Bagshot's house.

"See you tomorrow." Gellert seemed to hear the young man say that.
