Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Carl, who had been controlled by Grindelwald's words for five minutes, finally remembered that he seemed to have made such a mistake.

But this cannot be blamed on him. Since the old man left the cage, he has only spoken to him twice.

The last time was at Hogwarts, discussing how to lure Dumbledore out of the castle, after that conversation.

For the sake of confidentiality, he had never had much communication with the old guy, so much so that he had actually kind of forgotten the other person's existence.

To the extent that there was such obvious negligence in such a simple matter.

But who is he? Karl Hohenzollern always adheres to the principle of never bowing his head and apologizing.

So after a brief thought, Carl spoke casually.

"Gift, why should I buy you a gift? Headmaster Dumbledore is my guardian and adoptive father in the legal sense of the British wizarding world."

"Aunt Wenda Rozier has always been a part of my family, both in the United States and in Europe."

"She raised and cared for me for 10 years. In my heart, she is like a mother. And who are you?"

"The relationship between you and me has never been acknowledged by either party, and you have never spoken in person about my background."

This answer was full of attack and silenced Grindelwald. After a long while, the handsome old man spoke in a sad and helpless tone.

"Indeed, in your past life, I was just a stranger far away. I really didn't take care of you before, child."

"Regarding your background, I shouldn't be angry. I'll tell you now that your background is very simple."

"It's because of a magic. You know the person I love is Al. There's no way between the two of us..."

"Stop!" Carl shouted, "There's no need to elaborate on the following content. I don't want to hear you describe those scenes that are not suitable for children."

Grindelwald, who was interrupted, looked at Carl with some embarrassment, the emotions that he had just built up with great difficulty.

He was a little confused at first, and after thinking for a long time, he just came clean and said with an indifferent look on his face.

"You little brat, can't our conversation be more emotional? When you're with your partner."

"Of course you can be so strong, but as someone who has experienced this, I need to remind you of the vulnerability that is exposed occasionally."

"It's often the most touching thing. On a moonlit night, Mr. Hohenzollern, who is always tough and can be called the emperor of the magic world,

"Because of the fatigue from the day's work and the stimulation of alcohol, I showed my most vulnerable side in front of the person I love most."

"Using drunken words, some nonsense and corny language, it is so touching, the sense of contrast, you know? This is a very important method."

"Shut up!!" Carl was so angry that he was furious. He looked at the handsome old man in front of him with anger on his face and roared madly.

"I'm not in the mood to listen to your nonsense here. I seriously suspect that you are a wizard in disguise and are here to cause trouble for me."

"How come Grindelwald, who once terrified the entire European wizarding world, is now a stinky old man who loves to gossip about other people's private lives?"

"It's a handsome old man." Green corrected me calmly, "Don't doubt your eyes, and don't doubt your ears."

"Ideals are ideals, life is life. People are always used to having two faces, and I am no exception."

"And the fact that you are so anxious and irritable right now has confirmed my guess. That child is indeed a very important person in your life."

"There is no way the relationship between him and you is just friendship, otherwise why would you be so excited? You have good taste, kid."

"In my heart, Al is more beautiful without her, but I have to admit that you have a very good taste."

"I ***** you ****" Carl's defense was completely broken, and he began to greet Grindelwald with beautiful words.

It was not until now that he realized that he had fallen into the enemy's trap since he stepped into the castle.

This petty-minded guy had been prepared from the beginning to make me lose control in revenge for not giving him a gift.

Now he no longer doubted whether the identity of the guy in front of him was Grindelwald; his only doubt now was...

Is the other person really related to me? I am so generous, open-minded and sincere, how could I have such a petty gene in me?

Grindelwald didn't care about Carl's vulgar words at all and comforted him nonchalantly.

"Well, pay attention to your elegance, my child. Since you don't want to listen to my experience, I will tell you the answer to the question you want to know."

"Your origin is very simple. You were not born in the traditional sense. Your body came from a magic."

"You should have guessed the two sides of the gene. It's me and Al, when you were just an embryo."

"The magical world in Europe is not safe. For the hope of the Saints, I handed you over to my distant cousin."

"She married very early on, to the Hohenzollern family, the royal family of Germany, after the end of World War I in the Muggle world."

"The family went to the New World to escape disaster. This is also the origin of your current surname, but I didn't think of it."

"Your body can really give birth to an independent soul, but that will take many years."

At this point, Grindelwald seemed to be moved by the scene. He stretched out his right hand and stroked Carl's long golden hair.

Looking into the other person's blue eyes, he sighed sincerely.

"Your eyes are really very similar to his. I don't blame him for not telling me about you."

"I think when he saw your eyes, he might not feel much better than I do now. Thank you, kid."

"You have left me with a blank piece of paper to write on, which should have been the best life ever."

Karl's heart was also touched, and he couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he thought of the vulgar words he had just said.

But just when he was about to convince himself and apologize to the other party, the guy in front of him suddenly changed the subject.

His expression changed like turning the pages of a book, and he spoke with a stern face.

"But one thing is for sure. You didn't buy me a gift. I can't just let it go so easily."

"You didn't do your part, so you have to make it up to me. Put your plans on hold."

"Let's discuss my plan first."

Carl's emotions were interrupted. Looking at Grindelwald who had turned his face against him, he was secretly determined in his heart.

I must get some genetic samples from him and do a paternity test. This guy is definitely not my father in the biological sense.

How could I be so petty? How could I hold a grudge like that?
