The party after the engagement ceremony lasted until late at night. Professor Dumbledore said goodbye at around ten o'clock: "My old bones can't bear the torture of the night. I'll go back and rest first, and you can play with yourselves."

Professor Dumbledore refused the farewells of Till and Snape, and did not ask Professor McGonagall, who was dancing happily, to go back with him. However, shortly after he left, Grindelwald also said goodbye.

"I'm getting older too. I'll go watch your game in a few days." Grindelwald waved his hand, leaving Altair behind before leaving, and patted Snape's shoulder lightly.

Grindelwald's move was seen by everyone as the elder saying goodbye to the younger generation, but only Snape knew that when the big hand fell on his shoulder, it carried an intuitive warning that only he could feel.

Snape looked at the upright and leaving figure and held Teal's hand tighter. Without anyone's reminder or warning, of course he would treat Till well.

The door of the villa was closed, and the excitement of the party could be heard vaguely. Grindelwald took a few steps outside and saw Professor Dumbledore standing in the shadow of the house opposite.

Without hesitation, Grindelwald walked in directly. As soon as he got closer, a fifteen-inch wand was pressed against his chest: "Why did you approach Till? She is not someone you can take advantage of!"

"What about you, can you use Tyr?" Faced with Professor Dumbledore's question, Grindelwald smiled easily and reached out to move the wand away from himself, "Don't point it at me. You know I don’t like it.”

Two old wizards, both over a hundred years old, stood together, one with a solemn expression and the other with a relaxed smile, but the distance between them was not too far. No one could imagine that they, who were only a few steps away from each other at this time, had had a life-and-death battle more than forty years ago.

Professor Dumbledore finally put away his wand, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he would point his wand at Grindelwald again at any time: "No matter what, stay away from my students and go back to your Nurmengard!"

"Dumbledore, in what capacity are you taking care of me?" Grindelwald tilted his head back, and when he looked at Professor Dumbledore again, there were many complicated emotions in his eyes, "Tiel's headmaster, The president of the International Federation of Magicians, or the enemy who once defeated me?"

Grindelwald said the word "enemy" in an extremely mocking manner, and faced with this tone and glare, Professor Dumbledore immediately left his sight.

Grindelwald sneered at Professor Dumbledore's reaction: "I also say 'no matter what' in return. Tyr is my partner, and you don't need to manage our relationship."

"You are not allowed to ask Tyr about our cooperation, otherwise..." Grindelwald turned his back to Professor Dumbledore, "You know I am a madman."

Grindelwald's apparation ability was so advanced that even the magic power was almost non-existent. Professor Dumbledore looked at the empty space in front of him and exhaled a long breath.

Professor Dumbledore's face showed an unprecedented seriousness. He returned to the castle in silence and sat on the chair in the principal's office. His mind was still filled with complicated thoughts.

Before today, he had never thought that Till would be related to Grindelwald. Till and Grindelwald should not have any intersection at all. Just like when he first met "Gavin Grigory", Professor Dumbledore chose to believe Tire, and therefore tried his best to deny that Gavin Grigory looked 70% or 80% similar to the Grindelwald in his memory. Gorey.

But I didn’t expect that I took everything for granted...

The feeling of being out of control made Professor Dumbledore feel heavy. He kept frowning and was lost in thought. Not even Fox's peck on his hand could bring him back to his senses.

Fox let out a soft cry and looked worriedly at the owner who looked very ugly.

There were no lights in the spacious principal's office, and the flames in the fireplace flickered brightly and dimly. The principals' portraits on the walls lowered their eyes and rested quietly late at night.

But there is no way of knowing how many actually fell asleep.

***

The third day after the engagement was the date of Till's second game, but before that, Till chose to rest at home and accompany his newly minted fiancé to his house in Spider End Lane.

"I heard that someone renovated Spider's End Alley?" Teal held Snape's arm. Before heading to Spider's End Alley, she wanted to tease Snape for a while.

Till had been to Spider End Alley only once, but the dark, dirty house, which Till didn't like, still left a deep impression on her.

I don't know what Snape said about the renovation of Spider End Alley.

"Stay tuned." The engagement brought huge changes to Snape. He had a lot more smiles on his face, and the look he looked at Teal was even more affectionate. He always liked to hug Teal, just like that. It's very satisfying to do nothing.

Of course, Teal also liked Snape's change.

Teal's entire body was held in Snape's arms. After the Apparition, which had little influence on Teal, they settled in a bright and tidy living room.

In the renovated Spider End Alley, one side of the originally enclosed book wall has been removed and connected to the kitchen, and the windowed area in the middle has been turned into a living room. The originally hidden stairs were also exposed from behind the wall. The walls on both sides of the stairs were opened into bookshelves. When Till was led up by Snape, he could see many books placed in those bookshelves.

"It's quite convenient. You can just pull it out when you want to read." Teal praised this renovation idea. It was the first time for her to see a staircase with bookshelves on both sides.

The second floor is a master bedroom and a second bedroom, plus a bathroom. A narrow walkway connects them. It is not as spacious as the Emory house. Therefore, seeing Teal looking around curiously, Snape Showing some nervousness.

He had always felt that the size of the house didn't matter, as long as it could be lived in, but now that Tier saw the whole house, he was still worried.

Does Teal think it's too small? Don't you like it here?

Snape pursed his lips: "I will buy another one..."

"It's good. The room is enough. Anyway, it's just the two of us who will live in it from now on." Teal took Snape's hand and interrupted him. She really felt that the house was big enough.

She was rich and had countless properties to her name, but she was able to live in a luxurious villa and manor, and she also spent half a month lying in a cave in the mountains with Newt. She lay in the snow and felt the cold of ice and snow, and she also Crawling in the desert, just looking for the magical animals you want to see.

Till leaned on Snape's shoulder and hummed: "Don't think of me as too squeamish."

She only has a high standard of living when conditions permit, and when conditions do not, a home is enough.
