Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

The relationship between Dumbledore and Grindelwald was getting better and better, and it was common knowledge in Godric's Hollow.

Even in just a few days, the two had become inseparable, always studying magic and discussing ideals together. If you only saw one of them on the road, then there was no doubt that the other one was definitely nearby, you just hadn't seen him yet.

As for why they were outside, it was probably because of Aberforth. He and Dumbledore were quarreling more and more often. Anyone passing by Dumbledore's house at night could hear the roaring coming from inside.

Dumbledore seemed to feel that he was in the wrong and never argued too much with his younger brother. In simple terms, he would never fight back when beaten or scolded.

But Grindelwald was not so good-tempered. Because of this incident, he almost fought with Aberforth several times.

But in the end, Dumbledore stepped in in time and barely resolved the conflict.

Kyle learned all of this from the bar. He had never even left the bar. He heard all the news from other people.

Through the recent interactions, everyone who comes here knows that Kyle is a person who likes to listen to stories... or rather, all wizards who study the history of magic like to listen to stories. For example, when Bathilda Bagshot was a child, she always tried her best to ask adults about some rumors in the past.

But Kyle was different from Bathilda. He never picked and chose the types of stories. No matter if they were picture book stories handed down from the past or stories about daily life that happened around him yesterday, they were all fine. As long as he was happy listening to the stories, he would wave his hand and treat the storyteller to a glass of the best whiskey.

Three Sickles.

These people usually wouldn't be willing to drink such expensive wine, but now that someone is treating them for free, they are naturally very enthusiastic. After all, it's just a matter of paying more attention to what's happening around them, and it doesn't require any effort.

They were happy, and Kyle was happy too.

Grindelwald and Dumbledore have become more and more vigilant recently, and he was almost discovered several times before... Now he only needs to spend a little money to get the information he wants without exposing himself. Why not do it?

It was just a few Sickles. Even if he invited everyone, it would not cost more than three Galleons. The ones sponsored by Holicen alone were enough for him to squander for two months.

"If you ask me, they're going to have a fight sooner or later." Corder sat in his familiar seat, drinking and sighing, "This afternoon, Albus almost stopped them, and in the end it was Bathilda who stepped in to resolve the conflict."

"Why, are you worried about Aberforth?" Kyle asked.

"Of course not. As a teenage wizard, every wizard has had conflicts with others. I fought with my classmates a lot when I was at Hogwarts."

"Back then, we Gryffindors had a fight with Slytherins right on the field. When the wands fell, they just swung their brooms.

You must say, that thing is really good, especially the silver arrow broom, which is as thick as a wrist, and it works better than a spell when it is swung. "

Maybe it was because he drank too much, but Code suddenly recalled the glorious past, mostly scenes of fighting with Slytherin. After a long while, he shook his head.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this... In fact, I'm more worried about Albus. On one side is his brother, and on the other side is his good friend. He is the one who has the hardest time being caught in the middle.

In fact, sometimes I think that it would be good if they really had a fight, so that they could vent their anger and the matter would be over, which would be good for all three of them... But unfortunately, we can't say anything about this kind of thing, and we can't instigate them to fight. "

Cord sighed and took another sip of his brandy.

"boom……"

At this time, the door of the bar was pushed open from the outside.

Kyle subconsciously looked back and quickly turned his head back.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald walked in one after the other.

But Grindelwald had a furious look on his face, and Dumbledore was comforting him.

"Oh, these are rare guests." Corder also noticed the two of them. "Albus almost never comes here. I always thought he didn't like drinking... It seems that they had a big fight this time."

Kyle didn't say anything. He just lowered his head and leaned on the table calmly, pretending to be drunk and asleep, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

The two men came over, only one seat away from Kyle, but luckily they didn't notice this side.

"Who does he think he is? How dare he speak to me like that?" Grindelwald shouted angrily, "If it weren't for you, I would have made him pay the price long ago!"

"Yes, thank you for your hard work." Dumbledore advised kindly, "Just think of it as a favor to me. Please bear with it for a while."

"New guests." At this time, the bar owner walked over and asked, "Gentlemen, what would you like to order?"

"Mead."

"wine."

The two said at the same time.

The bar owner raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something. He subconsciously looked towards Kyle's position, only to find that he was lying on the table, looking drunk and asleep.

Seeing this, the boss shut up again and quickly turned around and brought them what they ordered.

He originally wanted to tell the two that they could drink for free, but Kyle was drunk and would definitely not be able to listen to the story, so he gave up the plan.

All I can say is that they came at the wrong time and missed a good opportunity to have a free drink.

Of course, Grindelwald and Dumbledore had no idea what their boss was thinking. Now they only had eyes for each other and didn't notice anyone else at all.

Grindelwald took a sip of wine, suppressed his anger, and asked, "Before that guy came just now, you said you were going to travel with your classmates after graduation?"

Kyle, who was lying on the table, moved his ears, trying to distinguish their voices in the noisy environment.

"Yes, travel around the world with Elphias Sturges." Dumbledore also took a sip of mead.

"He has written me several letters asking when I will be leaving, but I guess I will have to break my promise. There is no way I can leave Godric's Hollow right now."

Grindelwald frowned, looking a little unhappy.

"Just because of that Aberforth?" Grindelwald said coldly, "He is a piece of trash, how can he decide what you are going to do!"

"Don't say that, Gellert. He is my brother." Dumbledore whispered, "And I have other reasons for staying here."

There was a hint of struggle in his voice, and Kyle guessed that he probably hadn't told Grindelwald about Arianna yet, or didn't know how to tell it.

In fact, Dumbledore gave up traveling around the world because he wanted to take care of Ariana.

In September, Aberforth will start school, and then he will be the only one to take care of his sister.

If an Obscurial were left alone at home, Godric's Hollow would probably be gone when he returned.

Dumbledore sighed again.

He didn't know if Grindelwald would distance himself from him after he told him about Arianna, so he had been hesitant and hadn't said anything.

After all, in the wizarding world, the Obscure has always been a taboo, and the two have just known each other for a short time. Dumbledore cherishes this friendship very much and is inevitably a little worried.

But Grindelwald thought he was just sad because he couldn't travel around the world, and immediately slammed the cup in his hand onto the bar with a dull thud.

"You are just too easy to talk to. You have the right to choose what you want to do. You are Albus Dumbledore, and that idiot can't restrain you."

Dumbledore shook his head. It was not Aberforth that bound him, but responsibility.

"Hah..." Grindelwald drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. "Do you still remember our decision?"

"Of course." Dumbledore said without hesitation: "Liberate the wizards and let all wizards live freely in the sun."

Kyle twitched his ears again.

"That's right, but you don't think that we can achieve this ideal just by staying in Godric's Hollow." Grindelwald said in a deep voice: "We must go out. Only by going to every corner of the world can we achieve this great ideal."

His tone was full of enthusiasm.

“I think we should take the first step.”

"What do you want to do?" asked Dumbledore.

"Go to the highlands south of the valley," Grindelwald said. "I heard from my aunt that wizards once lived there, and it seems to be related to what I have been looking for..."

At this point, Grindelwald's voice suddenly became much softer, so soft that Kyle couldn't hear what he said at all.

"Those three things, you mean?" asked Dumbledore.

"That's right... I have to find it... to achieve my ideal..."

The sound is intermittent and cannot be heard clearly.

There was another long silence.

"We should leave here." Grindelwald's voice became clear again. "It won't take too long. Let's just treat it as a try."

Perhaps because he had been drinking, or perhaps because Hogwarts had not yet started and he wanted to indulge himself, Dumbledore agreed to Grindelwald's proposal after a brief silence.

"Great, let's go now!"

Grindelwald said excitedly, "But before that, I think we should do something to commemorate this great first step."

"what's up?"

"I know a special magical contract that is perfect for witnessing our friendship." Grindelwald's voice was filled with undisguised excitement. "Come with me..."

He pulled Dumbledore and hurriedly left the bar.

Kyle raised his head again.

"Are you awake?" Code next to him looked over and said, "What happened to you today? You passed out after just two drinks."

"Maybe I didn't get enough rest." Kyle said perfunctorily: "I'm going back first, we'll meet again tomorrow."

"No problem, get out of here." Code waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't delay my drinking."

Kyle smiled, stood up and left the bar.

But he did not go back to the room upstairs. Instead, he walked around and left the bar.

He had a premonition that something big might happen tonight, and even if he might be discovered, he had to go and witness it with his own eyes, otherwise he might regret it for the rest of his life.

After leaving the bar, Kyle walked quickly along a path and put on an invisibility cloak, a prop that is more concealed than magic and less likely to be discovered.

Five minutes later, he finally saw Dumbledore and Grindelwald in front of him. The two came to the abandoned barn, pushed open the door and walked in.

Kyle looked around.

It would be impossible to follow him in. Even if he was protected by an invisibility cloak, he would definitely be discovered. But if he didn't go in, the barn was closed off and he wouldn't be able to see what was happening inside.

Wait... there's a place that might be able to do that.

Kyle looked towards Dumbledore's house not far away, or to be more precise, the attic at the highest point of his house.

The barn window faces that place, so one can definitely see what's going on in the barn from the other side. That's where Ariana lives, and if one makes any noise, it might wake her up.

There were voices coming from the barn, like some kind of spell...

“Never mind.” Kyle gritted his teeth and used his broom to reach the top of the attic. He tried to move lightly, crouched there, and looked into the barn through the invisibility cloak.

Very good, although the window is small, Dumbledore and Grindelwald are standing in the middle, so he can see them just fine. The only problem is that he can't see clearly.

Kyle quickly took out the Omnibionicles, a gadget he had bought at the Quidditch World Cup a few years ago, which came in handy now.

Through the telescope, the situation in the barn became much clearer.

After some delay, they had finished the spell. In the barn, the two young men stood opposite each other, each with an unprecedented piety on their faces.

The faint magic runes swirled and flickered around the two of them, adding a sense of solemnity and mystery to the dilapidated barn.

Grindelwald produced a knife in his hand and cut it across his palm. Blood oozed from the tip of the knife, which was suspended in the air under the cover of magic runes.

Next up was Dumbledore.

A part of the magic runes penetrated into the cracked wounds on the palms of the two men. The young men's trembling hands were clasped together, and more magic runs emerged, flying around like crazy.

The number of magic runes increased and the speed became faster and faster, like a long silver chain wrapped around the two people's clasped wrists.

The other end of the chain was connected to the area around the blood that had just dripped. When the light faded, the magic rune turned into a diamond-shaped silver shell, and the original blood drop was preserved in the middle, flashing a strange light.

The diamond-shaped silver ornament that contained Grindelwald's blood was connected to the chain on Dumbledore's wrist, and the corresponding other one naturally fell into Grindelwald's hands.

From then on, the blood alliance was completed.

This contract made with the blood of wizards is extremely binding. It can be said that from now on, they are equivalent to sharing the same body and cannot hurt each other... Even if they have such a thought, it will be captured by the contract and they will be punished accordingly.

In the barn, the two young men hugged each other tightly. After a moment, they talked about something together, then left the barn at the same time, disappearing quickly into the night, apparently heading for the so-called southern highlands.

At the same time, Kyle on the attic also put down the camera in his hand with satisfaction.

He had bought this thing in order to record Fred and George's dirty laundry. It was the latest model of magic item at the time, and unlike the cheap ones on the market that were equipped with extra flashlights, it was extremely concealed.

Now it seems that the money was well spent. The two people were so focused on concluding the blood pact that they didn't notice that someone was recording their scenes from a distance.

As long as he goes back to develop the photos and soak them in developing solution, Kyle will have a complete set of precious photo albums.

Kyle happily put away his camera and prepared to go down from the attic.

"who are you?"

A voice came from behind, startling Kyle.

At some point, the attic window was pushed open, and a little girl was leaning half of her body out, looking over here.

It has to be said that her action was very dangerous and she could fall at any time, but Kyle didn't dare to remind her.

Kyle didn't know how he had disturbed Ariana. He could only try not to make any noise, hoping that Ariana would not see anyone and go back by herself.

He has an invisibility cloak on him, so the other party shouldn't be able to see him... right?

"Why aren't you talking? Why are you in my attic? And what are you wearing? What a magical outfit."

"Can you see me?" Kyle asked as he lifted up his Invisibility Cloak.

Now that it's clear, there's no point in pretending any longer. Besides, letting a little girl lie in mid-air is also a dangerous thing.

"I can't see it." Ariana shook her head, "But I know there is someone here."

Kyle estimated that this situation was most likely due to Obscurus... Although he didn't know the principle, this was the only explanation that could make it make sense.
