HP Shavings Wizard

Alison looked at Grindelwald playfully, observing his reaction to the compliments from his old lover.

At this time, facing the truth, Grindelwald pretended not to hear it and continued to observe the scenery around him.

The corners of this person's mouth seem to be raised...

Bathilda seemed to have noticed something as well. She blinked her cloudy eyes and tried to see more clearly.

Dumbledore followed Grindelwald's gaze and looked towards the magnificent Hogwarts Castle not far from Honeydukes Candy Shop, and began to change the subject.

"Hogwarts Castle is very old and has witnessed many historical events."

Alison listened attentively and respectfully.

Dumbledore looked at her obedient appearance and continued with a smile.

"The castle hides many secrets that can only be discovered by those who explore carefully. If you have the opportunity, be sure to explore it carefully."

Alison nodded obediently.

Grindelwald couldn't help but glance at the loving father and filial daughter scene over there: "...Why do you two seem to have a good relationship?"

Alison smiled widely, enunciating her words for emphasis and show-off.

"After all, Albus will be my teacher and good friend in the future. I will study at Hogwarts for seven years... It must be better than someone..."

Grindelwald interrupted her: "Okay, shut up."

Alison then shut up obediently, with a tolerant smile on her face that was not suitable for her age. This made her look like an adult indulging a child when she looked at Grindelwald, which was very contrary to Tian Gang, and her silent ridicule was more powerful than words.

Dumbledore couldn't help coughing, and Bathilda also laughed secretly.

Having said this, Dumbledore naturally continued his introduction and explanation.

"The Hogwarts Express will be waiting at platform nine and three quarters."

Dumbledore explained in detail again the location of the platform and how to enter it, not only to remind Bathilda and Gellert, but also to Alison, the protagonist who was going to school.

Although Bathilda, who went to Hogwarts, should remember it, everyone is always worried that this over 150-year-old witch might have forgotten...

This is also the responsibility of the professors who guide the new students. Dumbledore has not personally taught new students for decades, but he still remembers these clearly.

Bathilda obviously didn't mind being reminded, the friendly elder smiled and nodded: "I understand, thank you, dear Albus."

Dumbledore smiled and said, "You're welcome, Bathilda. You're always so thoughtful."

Alison yawned a few times as she waited for the clerk to pack the candy.

I got up early today to prepare a perfect luxurious breakfast.

But that wasn't the reason she yawned. Which game protagonist didn't often stay up late and have their days and nights reversed? Moreover, her current energy-related attributes were off the charts.

She was purely for...

Grindelwald noticed Alison's sleepiness: "Are you tired?"

Alison smiled with pursed lips, revealing her ulterior motive, and was very scheming, hoping to get the man who was coaxed into leading her, the new father, to go on a new date with her daddy.

"I can't help it. I'm still growing."

"Bathilda also has the habit of taking a nap. Why don't I go back to Godric's Hollow with Sister Bathilda to take a nap while you guys go shopping?"

Bathilda immediately understood and looked at Dumbledore with a smile.

Dumbledore also understood what the child was planning, and his expression was a little subtle.

Grindelwald obviously understood something: "...Little brat, I'd rather you were more straightforward."

Alison's eyelids twitched and she coughed heavily, interrupting her father's unromantic speech.

Isn't love interesting because of all the secrets and tricks?

She held Bathilda's arm and casually assigned the old lovers a task, or a reasonable excuse for a date to use a sense of responsibility to prevent her father from running away.

"Anyway, we need to go back and put away all the candies we bought, and take a nap."

"Also, I noticed there is a potion material shop here. I hope you can buy some sets of potion materials while you are browsing. I will prepare for it before school starts in a month... I heard that Professor Snape is very strict."

Grindelwald was a graduate student at Durmstrang, and he might not know exactly what potions were required by the first-year Potions syllabus at Hogwarts.

Naturally, it would be up to Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, Alison's guide and future teacher, to take care of buying materials for the young wizard who wanted to practice potions.

After thinking this through, Dumbledore found this little calculation a little amusing: "Okay, let's try to buy as many as possible."

If you really want to resist, you can naturally use the excuse of having something to do to refuse, or just buy the materials and go back to Godric's Hollow. This little request for strolling around is very flexible.

but…

He really didn't want to refuse.

Whether it is out of the exploration of Gellert's sudden escape purpose, the worry about the situation in the wizarding world, or...

His own heart.

Half a century had passed, and he had felt relieved, but when he really saw Gellert, and saw that face that had aged with time, he could not deceive his heart that was beating violently again.

It was as if when he had imprisoned Gellert in Nurmengard, his heart, and the once vibrant young Albus Dumbledore, were also imprisoned in Gellert's place.

All that was left was the greatest wizard who strived for perfection, or as some secretly mocked him - the saint Dumbledore.

Perhaps he still had time to put the locked heart back before it shrank and grew hairy.

Bathilda nodded and agreed with the request. "That's exactly what Alison needs."

Grindelwald couldn't tell what emotion he was feeling right now.

"…I'll buy her more of what she needs."

Alison winked at Grindelwald playfully, reminding him once again that he might need to avoid a certain "brother".

"Be careful not to be butted by the goat~"

The store manager and his wife were busy and skilled at using magic to quickly pack and shrink the items, and they were done in no time.

Alison originally said she wanted to treat everyone, but now the adults are not interested in this anymore.

It doesn’t matter. It’s just a jackpot and it’s not important.

Grindelwald glared at Alison and said, "Go!"

Alison smiled and took Bathilda's arm, shrunk the packaged candies and put them into the bag, and the two returned to Godric's Hollow through the fireplace.

Walking to the communal fireplace, Dumbledore and Grindelwald watched them leave, then fell silent.

The streets of Hogsmeade village were filled with the sound of insects, and there were not many people in the midsummer.

Dumbledore chose to speak first: "Alison is such a lovely and clever child, isn't she?"

Grindelwald sneered: "Yes, but too smart..."

Dumbledore smiled slightly: "It's always good to have wisdom, isn't it?"

Grindelwald raised an eyebrow. "You seem to like her very much."

Dumbledore smiled and did not deny it.

After a few words, Grindelwald recovered from the awkwardness of being deliberately arranged for a date, and shrugged generously: "Let's go."
