Hogwarts on the tip of the tongue

The process of purchasing dinner was much more difficult than Dumbledore had imagined.

Along the way, there were shops with Grindelwald's mark flashing on almost every street in the city. In order to find a shop without a saint to buy food, Dumbledore really spent a lot of effort - after all, he He didn't carry any Muggle currency with him, so it would be somewhat dangerous to use the confusion spell rashly in front of a reclusive wizard.

Fortunately, the Deathly Hallows symbols all over Salzburg can clearly help the old man eliminate most of the shops run by wizards. To a certain extent, it can also be regarded as saving some time.

But even so, Dumbledore still spent slightly more time than he expected in order to buy the "Vienna Schnitzel" that Elena wanted to eat.

Therefore, by the time Dumbledore returned to the hut in Paracelsus with various food boxes, the two generations of demon kings, one large and one small, had already initially reached a strategic cooperation framework and were in the process of implementing a more detailed plan. .

"It seems that you are getting along well. What are you talking about..." Dumbledore opened the door gently and said with a smile.

Hearing the noise coming from the door, the two people who were talking exchanged glances in a tacit understanding. They stopped their conversation at the same time and looked at Dumbledore with the same harmless expressions.

"Wow, Professor Dumbledore, thank you for your hard work. There are so many delicious things."

"Speaking of which, I'm a little hungry too... Let's eat quickly and then pack up and head to Hogwarts."

Both the big devil and the little devil selectively ignored Dumbledore's question, looked like they were starving, took the packing box from his hand, and ate with concentration.

"..."

Dumbledore silently glanced at the old man and the young man with exaggerated acting skills, and felt a hint of exhaustion in his heart again.

Especially Elena - before this, the child at least didn't have the guts to reach out and grab the food from his hands.

There is no doubt that he can even imagine what kind of lawless demon king Elena will become after returning to school with Gellert Grindelwald's support.

However, for Albus Dumbledore, Elena and Grindelwald formed a temporary "anti-Dumbledore" minor alliance because of him. This was originally planned to quickly draw Grindelwald closer. part of the relationship with Elena.

If students and even some professors who are not too mature in their thinking may be influenced by Elena, Grindelwald, who was once regarded as a guide by countless people, will change his behavior style because of Elena. The possibility can be said to be almost non-existent - Dumbledore is more worried about whether Elena will be bewitched by Grindelwald and become the next leader of the Saints.

Compared to Grindelwald, who has a clear purpose and clear plan, Elena, who is full of wild ideas, can cause too much destructive and uncontrollable power. When the two join forces, they become familiar with Grindelwald's consistent behavior. Dumbledore would be much more relaxed in dealing with it.

On the other hand, since Grindelwald's sudden illness, Dumbledore has realized that he can no longer leave Grindelwald alone in Nurmengard Castle to fend for himself as he once did. Went out.

Even if Grindelwald did not take the initiative to mention this, Dumbledore planned to improve and solve Grindelwald's living conditions and medical security problems - although in his original plan, he only added more caregivers and magical facilities.

However, after Grindelwald's reminder, Dumbledore thought about it carefully. In terms of environment and atmosphere alone, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which is full of youthful atmosphere, is indeed the most suitable place to house Gellert Green. Devo's place.

Perhaps from a short period of time, it seems that Dumbledore himself was severely cheated.

But if we take a longer-term view, we might as well add a safety lock to the two unstable factors at the same time.

What's more, with Dumbledore's teaching experience over the years, as Grindelwald's attention to Elena gradually increases, he will inevitably want to impart more knowledge and concepts to this "successor" people".

There is no doubt that in order to achieve this goal, Grindelwald, who does not have much initiative in teaching, will naturally offer to cooperate with him and jointly participate in the "nurturing plan" for Elena - at that point At this time, it is the stage of attacking and defending in different positions.

While thinking this, Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at the old man and young man who were getting along well with each other in front of him, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

As for how to smoothly spend the "Alliance of the Demon King" period, it couldn't be simpler. All it takes is a slight adjustment to the study pressure at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the magnitude of daily homework. Elena can't do it at all. There won't be much spare time left to wreak havoc.

……

"Hey, old man. Do you think Professor Dumbledore's expression is a little strange?"

While chewing a big steak, Elena gently poked Grindelwald sitting next to her with her elbow and whispered.

"strangeness?"

Grindelwald raised his head and glanced at Dumbledore, who had a kind smile on his face. He shook his head nonchalantly and replied in a relaxed tone, "You will know in the future. This is normal. Whenever he feels that he can control the overall situation, Every now and then, he would show this silly, harmless smile.”

"Control the whole situation? But we haven't done anything yet. He doesn't know how to use magic to eavesdrop." The girl's tone was a little worried.

Due to the influence of the endless HP fan fiction in her previous life, Elena has never been very sure about Albus Dumbledore's intelligence level.To summarize a little bit, there are people ranging from omniscient and omnipotent gods to confused old guys, as if the old man's intelligence range has always been in a "Schrödinger's cat" quantum state.

"Don't worry, I know him too well."

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, picked up a piece of pizza and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "If you show all the factors in front of Albus, then with his obsessive-compulsive disorder and ability, An almost perfect plan. The factors here even include your personality and the trump cards you may be hiding. On this point, Albus and I are almost exactly the same."

"but……"

Gellert Grindelwald turned his head and glanced at Elena. In front of his eyes, the demolished gate of Nurmengard Castle, the hollowed-out termite nest, the mountain road blasted out of a road, and he woke up and fainted again. The Ministry of Magic employee wakes up again...

As a chess player, what you fear most is not that the opponent misses everything, cheats, or deliberately upsets your mood, or even overturns the chessboard. But if you say, when you set up the chessboard and prepare to fight, The opponent suddenly said: "How about we see who can place the chess pieces higher?"

"Do you know what people like me and Albus are most afraid of?" The old wizard smiled slightly, looked at Elena with an admiring look and said, "It's because you have unfettered ideas, why? A very lucky and destructive little guy.”

???

Elena turned her head and looked at Grindelwald with a blank face. Why did she always feel as if she was being scolded despite her tone of praise? !
