The Good Life of Home Cook Grindelwald

During the Christmas break, Aberforth met Grindelwald on platform [-] [-]/[-].He saw Grindelwald leaning on a solid pillar through the glass in the carriage. The other party lowered his head slightly, flipping through a book in boredom. After arriving at the station, he looked up indifferently at the train that was gradually stopping. Seeing that the carriage door had not been opened, he lowered his head again, flipping the pages of the book in his hand as if to pass the time.

The little girls in the same carriage also saw him, and some of them had gone to the glass to chat about who this handsome young man was and whether he had a fiancee.Aberforth's eyes almost rolled over the roof of the car, and he almost wanted to shout to these little girls: He doesn't have a fiancée, but he has a fiancé!Forget it!

But he still remained gloomy and did not speak. On the one hand, he really didn't like Grindelwald. This person made him feel dangerous instinctively, but on the other hand, he felt very unhappy with all the people who fell in love with his brother. In his heart, even if his brother and Grindelwald couldn't go on one day, and his brother had to dump each other, he couldn't let Grindelwald make Albus feel the pain.This is their instinct as a family.

When he stood in front of Grindelwald with the suitcase, the alumni fell silent at the same time, they couldn't imagine that Aberforth had anything to do with him.But Grindelwald snapped the book shut and held it in his hand. Only then did Aberforth scan the book and read "The Song of Reading Prison" on the cover.He had never heard of such a book.When he looked up, he saw Grindelwald looking up and down at his simple luggage, and nodded with satisfaction: "Is there anything else?" Seeing him shaking his head, without saying hello to others, he held his elbow and directly apparated .

Entering Godric's Hollow, Grindelwald stopped when he was still some distance away from Dumbledore. He looked at Aberforth. : "I apologize for the spell I cast on you the day before school started, I hope that didn't affect you too much."

Heh, Merlin, it doesn't have much influence on me?After everything was petrified, I fell hard on the floor, the back of my head hurt, and then because of you, I had a huge quarrel with my brother. Do you hope that I have no influence?Aberforth sneered back at him.

"I have to go home during Christmas. I've been here for too long and I have to go back and give my parents an explanation." Grindelwald frowned, as if he was a bit reluctant to explain this to him, "You are the only one in your family Brother and Anna, it’s too dangerous. So if possible, I hope you can take some time off and return to school after March next year.” He paused, before Aberforth could refute, “Your brother Over there, I will make an agreement with him, you don't have to worry about him objecting to you staying at home."

This sounding nice word in Grindelwald's mouth is like the annoying Principal Blake arranging affairs, condescending and domineering, making Aberforth want to punch him when he heard it, and he replied stiffly: "That's my brother and my sister! Our family affairs don't need to be arranged so carefully by you."

Grindelwald looked at him from top to bottom, and Aberforth was furious with the expression of looking at a poor student, but what Grindelwald said made him even more angry: "You are a good man, Aberforth Forth, you can make the right choice between right and wrong, but it's hard for you to understand what a person who is as smart as your brother really needs."

"He's so smart! Anything is within reach!" Aberforth said almost angrily.

"You are not unintelligent, but with Al, everyone will be covered up, his aura is too strong." Grindelwald said in a very objective but somewhat indifferent tone, so indifferent that Aberforth Shivered, this person was his brother's favorite person, and he kept saying that he loved his brother the most, but at this time his tone was as if everything had nothing to do with him, and he stood apart from everything.This made him feel a little familiar. After a while, he suddenly realized that it was the tone his brother used to have when he was still in school. Although he looked very kind to everyone, when he said the real answer to the matter, he was always Very far away from everyone and everything, a kind of indifference that stays out of things, sees everything, no one understands, but is tired of the impermanence of the world.

Aberforth didn't speak for a while, he just looked at each other with resentment and disgust, but Grindelwald's eyes didn't fall on him, and his figure was also dim in the early darkening sky of December Come down: "Your brother seems to be able to see through everything, but in fact he wants everything. He wants to win, but he is afraid of being overwhelmed by the victory. He wants to be sober, but he is always curious about everything. Family affection and love have longings. But these longings, he never speaks out, you think he doesn’t care, he just can’t say it. Because you lift him up too high, sometimes he can’t tell you directly. He doesn’t I'm afraid of falling from a high place, but I'm afraid that you will be disappointed in him after giving him such an image."

It's not my fault!He arranged such an image for himself!Aberforth snorted resentfully through his nostrils.

"It's really not your fault, but you can't always blame him. People can't get off such a high platform. People who don't stand on the top can't easily understand it. What's more, he doesn't arrange such an image for himself. , your family’s affairs, especially your sister’s, may have been revealed long ago. How many people are full of interest in this Hogwarts genius, and his halo cannot be concealed. You may also have resentment, hate Your brother doesn't give you enough attention, but Aberforth, you only care about your sister, and I'm afraid your mother does too. Does anyone in your family care about him?" Grindelwald finally looked up at him.

Does he need to care if he is so smart?Aberforth almost shouted, but he suddenly calmed down, looking at Grindelwald's indifferent and sarcastic expression, a layer of cold sweat oozes from his back in the cold evening wind.

Why should great geniuses not need to care?Who knew that Albus's previous habit of always being cold and hiding everything was not due to lack of concern?You only care about your sister, your sister who may die at any time, who knows the responsibility that Albus will bear, what is in his heart?He is already too smart, and he is always good at hiding. It seems that everything has been taken care of, so you take it for granted that he doesn't need to care.

Aberforth looked at Grindelwald, and he wanted to say: It is because you like him that you are always on his side.But the mocking smile on Grindelwald's face made him speechless.

Grindelwald is mocking himself!Aberforth felt it clearly!He was mocking himself for always complaining about what Albus said, and Albus could just throw it right back in his face.It's just that his brother, his brother who is too smart, too good at hiding, sharp and sensitive, didn't say anything, he couldn't say anything.How messed up is the family? As the eldest son and the smartest Dumbledore, how could his brother complain like this.However, after a long time, won't smart people get tired?

He felt a little hot on his face, full of anger, full of dissatisfaction, but he couldn't cry out.Because Grindelwald was right.Grindelwald was telling him for his brother: How unfair you are to your brother!You are just relying on your brother will never turn against you, that's why you are so presumptuous!

Feeling that he understood what he meant, Grindelwald said slowly: "I think Al is used to this kind of life, and he doesn't even feel the pressure on him. I can't blame you, after all, everyone has Everyone's focus, I can't say that the two of you will be as polite as good neighbors in the future. If so, Al will feel uncomfortable and suspicious. I just hope that you will treat him well when I am away. Be better, remember that you are also part of the family, you don't just need to take good care of Anna and be her favorite brother. You have to grow up, and you will graduate in more than a year, and you have to take care of it , you know something in your own mind. Don't always think that you can take good care of your sister after leaving school, and don't always blame this and that to your brother. Although he is the eldest son, he should take on a lot of things, but he has already done a lot. Okay. Don't always criticize him, while you love your sister, you also love and love him."

Thinking of how he and his elder brother should love each other and respect each other, that scene actually made Aberforth feel a chill.He has been used to finding fault with his brother for so long, and his brother always smiles helplessly. As a younger brother, he has this privilege.Although he is getting older, he also knows that he should take on more, but he doesn't know where to start. After all, their family's situation is so complicated. Besides, his brother can't give up everything to love Ariana like his mother, and he has already done his best. alright.In fact, he didn't think there was anyone in the magic world who was as smart as his brother and could do this.

Grindelwald stopped short, but in the end, he looked at Aberforth with pity: "I have said everything I can say," he couldn't help sighing, "Merlin, let me say this This kind of talk is really tiring, and I can't expect you to understand it. In short, you just need to know something." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and walked towards Dumbledore in annoyance, as if saying these words made him feel very depressed. Great style.

can i hit him !Instead of a wand, use your fists!Aberforth gritted his teeth and watched his back.

They made it back to the Dumbledore House safe and sound, and as soon as Aberforth put down his things, he watched his brother seem quietly relieved.He really wanted to complain loudly, how afraid was his brother that they would fight?

But before he could speak, he heard his brother say: "Why did it take so long to come back? Bathilda has come to ask once. Could it be that someone is making trouble for Aberforth again?"

No, Grindelwald just shook his head, but he didn't take off his coat, just stood by the door waiting for them, and Aberforth noticed that his sister had also changed into a more formal dress.He put down the box and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Dumbledore then looked at Grindelwald: "You didn't tell him?" Seeing Grindelwald shook his head again, he smiled and looked at Aberforth, "Because Gellert is going home for Christmas tomorrow, so Let's have an early Christmas dinner together," he said, adding, "Bathilda has been preparing since morning."

Actually I prepared it!Grindelwald snorted, turned his head away, and said nothing.

But Aberforth had sensed who was responsible for the meal from his brother's subtle pause, his face almost sank again, but seeing Anna's shy and expectant eyes, he could only snort : "In this case, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

The group of them walked through the darkened path and soon entered Bathilda's house. Although the old neighbor was old, she was still very neat. She opened the door and greeted the Dumbledores. Forgot to say to Grindelwald: "I have prepared all the side dishes, but you can come with the appetizer and eggnog."

Grindelwald threw the coat on the rack, rolled up the sleeves of the sweater and shirt, and strode to the kitchen: "Okay, then you can take your seats."

Aberforth looked at his brother curiously following him into the kitchen, and almost wanted to grind his teeth, when Bathilda pointed to the little fruit jam on the dining table with stars perfectly engraved on it, and said to his sister, "Anna, put the mat first." Stomach, it will take a while for him to be neat again!"

Aberforth and his sister thanked Bathilda, and each of them took a piece of fruit pie. I have to say that Grindelwald's craftsmanship is getting better and better!He finished it in two bites, then reached for the second piece, while Anna chewed slowly.When he reached out, he saw Bathilda look at Anna with probing and loving eyes, and frowned for a while, the eyes were too eager.But in a blink of an eye, he suddenly realized: Bathilda thought Grindelwald was chasing Anna? ! ! !

Yeah, how do you explain a 17-year-old guy who runs to the neighbor's house every day?For a handsome, bright boy two years his senior?

Aberforth was about to growl holding the pie!But he looked up at Albus who was leaning against the kitchen door, his voice stuck in his throat again.The light shone on Albus' auburn hair, and his side profile was as handsome as those enchanted patron saints outside Greek temples. At this moment, his head was against the door frame, his body was slightly tilted, and he was smiling lazily with folded arms Looking into the kitchen intentionally, chatting quietly with Grindelwald from time to time who was blocked by the wall from Aberforth's sight.Although he knew from the last time he came back that his brother had become more energetic because of love, but he still had to repeat that since his father passed away, he had never seen such an airy brother again.

only!He turned to look at Bathilda!Such a misunderstanding is unacceptable!

He really wanted to graduate from school quickly and satisfactorily, and then take Anna away from these two people!Although he couldn't fully connect with Albus's brain, he thought: I can take on this family!I can make life more comfortable for both of you here!Isn't that the best thing I can do as a Dumbledore? !He made up his mind that he must not live too close to his brother or his partner!

This early Christmas dinner was served quickly, and Aberforth couldn't be picky about its sumptuous appearance. Salmon with vegetables and fruits and cheese cucumber served as a starter, roast turkey stuffed with various fillings, wrapped in bacon Small sausages and small glycosides were cutely paired next to each other. The flame-breathing chocolate Christmas pudding gave off a rich aroma of wine. They watched the cups in front of them be filled with soft eggnog and special mulled wine.

Bathilda first raised his glass: "I wish everyone a Merry Christmas in advance, and hope that next year will be a good year."

All the people at the table stood up, and the light clinking sound made the cups gather into a small flower under the light, and they all said in unison: "Merry Christmas!"

However, Bathilda went on to say: "I see that Anna is in good health recently, Gellert, are you getting better soon?"

The two brothers Dumbledore and Grindelwald choked on the wine in their throats at the same time, and Grindelwald shouted first: "Auntie!"

Bathilda didn't realize what she said wrongly: "What's the matter, what's the point of being shy? Anna looks like a gentle and quiet girl, if you can settle down, your father won't have to send you yelling letters all the time. "

Grindelwald sighed loudly: "I didn't! My God! I really don't know how to explain it! I went to Dumbledore purely because Albus and I are good friends and we hit it off! Can you stop thinking about talking to someone every day? !"

Aberforth wiped his mouth, looked at his brother and Grindelwald expressionlessly, and sneered in his heart: But you are indeed talking about someone!

Dumbledore explained softly at this time: "Dear Bathilda, I believe Gellert is not in love with my sister, he is indeed with me every day. We just, there are many things to study, he is too smart Yes, you know."

Bathilda looked at Grindelwald disappointedly: "Gail, is this really the case?"

"It's true!" Grindelwald looked at her helplessly, held his glass and leaned over to give her a hug, "Thank you for worrying about this kind of thing for me, but I'm just too close to Albus, like brothers Same, do you understand?"

Aberforth sneered in his heart: Not only like a brother, but also closer than a brother?

"More than that, we are closer than brothers." His elder brother softly said what he complained in his heart.His eyes looked at Grindelwald, half teasing and half tender, but unfortunately old Bathilda didn't see it.

"I'm still here!" Aberforth approached his brother, his voice was small, but it came out through his teeth, "I'm your brother!"

"Of course you are! My God, you don't care about that, do you? Should I be happy or worried?" Albus looked at him in surprise, but sooner, he happily raised his glass to his brother, as if Felt it was worth celebrating.

Aberforth ignored him, and turned to look at Grindelwald, almost shooting arrows from his eyes, but Grindelwald only looked at his brother, as if he was very satisfied with the words just now, he curled his lips and said: "Since it's just a misunderstanding, don't discuss it, everyone sit down, the food is going to be cold."

Bathilda could only sit regretfully and mutter a few words, but the dishes quickly diverted her attention, she was picky while eating and said at the same time: "A man like Gellert who can use the housework spell There are not many wizards of this level, I am very happy. Why don’t wizards go to school to do chores? Don’t the homes belong to women? They only get back those poor silver things once a week However, it is really unreasonable to pick three and pick four."

At the mention of money, Aberforth turned his head and whispered to his brother, "Does this kid have any income?"

Albus looked at him in surprise, and finally chuckled: "Aberforth, why are you thinking about such a thing?" Father, but I have a lot of bonuses."

Oh, no wonder Grindelwald is in charge of the housework in his house!This little boy!Feel free to talk about him!I don't have a job either!Aberforth gleefully casts a sympathetic glance at Grindelwald.

Received such a look, Grindelwald frowned inexplicably, being sympathized by mortals made him feel uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.He looked at the eldest son of the Dumbledore family, and signaled with his eyes: What are you and your brother talking about me?

Dumbledore looked at him with slightly raised eyebrows, and then turned his eyes to the turkey in his hand, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips, which made Grindelwald itch not only in his heart, but also in his whole body.

Why do we eat so many people at Christmas!We should have eaten alone!These people, including old Bathilda, and especially Aberforth, are an eyesore!Grindelwald yelled in his heart, but he could only sit opposite Dumbledore and talk about irrelevant topics that only two people could understand.

Sooner or later, the family must be separated!I want a world of two!

Gellert Grindelwald, after being reborn, with nearly 100 years of patience, finally broke out in his heart.

The Hogwarts Fast Money was probably built in the 19s, and the transfer to King's Cross and Nine and Three Quarters was probably around the 30s, so in 19 they were able to get this train .

"The Song of Reading Gaol", a long poem by Oscar Wilde published in 1898, which he and Percy wrote during their final living together before they parted. He died in November 1900, that is, his death happened between the last chapter and this one.

Now it can finally be said that this story is set in 1900 when the two met, and a large part of the reason is because this year is the year of Wilde's death.

And when Ge Ge read this poem, it actually has a lot of meaning.If you are interested, you can find it and read it.The English version is the best, but there are also Chinese translations online.
