Winter 1916

In the deliberation hall of the Ministry of Magic in Paris, members of the magical delegations from all over the world used their wands to conjure up a small piece of paper in silence, and their wands dragged the little piece of paper into a goblet in the middle of the hall. .As soon as the note enters the cup, it will automatically melt, and the answer will be automatically counted by the magic cast in it, so that the final result can be announced.

Their notes were all written in very small words, which decided the final result of two issues today: whether to agree to the participation of wizards in the Muggle War, and whether to agree to the establishment of the International Joint Supervisory Council of Wizards.Although the International Association of Magic already exists, the main content of this association is to promote cooperation and the implementation of the "Secrecy Act". Department, it will cause irreparable damage.What's more, the cooperation model of the wizarding new future alliance has made the magic circles of various countries begin to consider whether there should be a more reasonable supervision and communication department, so that the magic circle and the Ministry of Magic can complete various cooperation more effectively.

"I don't think you will succeed this time." When Dumbledore put his note into the goblet, he remembered Grindelwald's cold words before he set off.

Although Dumbledore has proposed the establishment of this department many times, and even in his many years of teaching, he has revealed this ideal with some of his students who have entered the Ministry of Magic, and accepted his ideas, grew up and Students who are willing to fight for it have also begun to promote this cooperation, and Grindelwald does not think this proposal can be successful at first time.

"For a law to be implemented, bloody lessons or painful losses are needed." Grindelwald wrote an article related to black magic, discussing with him without looking up, "If there are no losses and lessons, the superiors would rather Maintain stability. They think that as long as there is no accident when they are in power, they are the biggest winners. As for how other people live, it is not within their consideration. Although sometimes they will implement policies, the main That is to keep their own throne, or the interests between them and their friends. It is very rare for a truly far-sighted person who is willing to actively promote reforms for the benefit of the people.”

Dumbledore felt very regretful, even angry, so many lessons, so much grief, could the Ministry of Magic of various countries turn a blind eye?

"Anyway, they don't feel pain. It's not their family members who die, and it's not their interests that are lost. On the contrary, if you let them break the rules, their interests will have to be surrendered, which will make their hearts bleed." Green Devo sneered, he has experienced too much of this kind of thing, and he has seen it clearly for a long time, "But it's okay, dear, although they won't agree this time, I think they will agree after a few years .Because of the Muggle war, they will suffer huge losses."

Speaking of war, Dumbledore sighed again: "The ministries of magic of all countries have passed emergency bills. In order to prevent large-scale violations of secrecy laws, the magic circles of all countries are not allowed to participate in Muggle wars. But there are still a large number of wizards who went to the front by themselves. Hughes has gone. This time we also have to discuss why we can’t join the war. Could it be that there is no wizard living in the place where the Allied forces are advancing? Could it be that if the Allied forces are defeated, members of the magic world can still get along with each other?”

"Did Mr. Scamander write to you?" Grindelwald didn't discuss this issue, but finally put down his pen and looked at him with a slight frown.

"What misunderstanding do you have about me and Newt?" Dumbledore asked back dumbfounded.

Grindelwald still frowned: "Is there anything he can't tell his brother, but he wants to tell you? I'm afraid his brother wants to receive his owl every day! What do you want?"

Said that there were owls screaming outside the owl window, and Dumbledore went to open the window to receive the letter while laughing: "Aberforth didn't tell me anything, probably when I was growing up, my younger brother always felt that he would say yes to his brother when he had something on his mind." A very embarrassing thing."

"Face?" Grindelwald snorted coldly, "How much is face worth?"

Dumbledore opened the letter and sat back beside him: "What is money, you are short of money recently? Didn't your alliance invest in a few new industries?"

"Our alliance." Grindelwald corrected a sentence indifferently. His saints are all over Europe, and they will naturally start some very profitable industries in the magic world. He even hired some squibs to make money in the Muggle world. , when it comes to assets, he is really not short of money.

Dumbledore opened the letter while laughing at him, but after only a few glances, his expression became solemn: "Theseus lost contact at the Somme?"

It's Newt Scamander again!Even if there is no Arianna incident in this life, after realizing the crisis that ambition may cause, Dumbledore will still appreciate those kind people who have no ambition but are willing to work hard.I am afraid that before Harry Potter appeared, Newt would be someone who Dumbledore valued very much.

Grindelwald was unhappy, but he still took the letter from him, glanced at it quickly and said, "Let's go to France together, you go to the meeting, and I'll go to the Somme to have a look."

Dumbledore said worriedly: "Are you alone?"

"I have saints over there, don't worry. Someone will take care of me if I have any problems." Grindelwald kissed his hand, folded the letter and put it in his pocket, "I'll keep this for Theseus Mr. Scamander as a token."

However, since their arrival in France and their separation, there has been no news.Dumbledore watched all the notes melt one by one, thinking blankly.When he was thinking about whether to finish this matter or not, he went directly to the Somme River to have a look. A clear spring spewed out of the cup, and the counting numbers were cast in the air in the hall.

As Grindelwald thought, it was not passed. Among the 900 representatives, 397 agreed, 462 opposed, and 51 abstained.

Very slight gap.The wizards in the hall sighed in various ways, regretted or relieved, gloated or didn't care, but Dumbledore didn't care about these anymore, he wanted to go to the Somme now.He stood up and asked the supervisor: "If there is nothing else, can we go?"

The censors looked at him in astonishment. Professor Dumbledore was definitely one of the people willing to facilitate this matter. They thought that even if this was unsuccessful, the British professor would make some remarks, but he didn't say a word. But his expression didn't look like he was frustrated because of failure, he just looked very anxious, as if something was urging him to do it.

Before the scrutineer nodded, the representative of the French Ministry of Magic suddenly said: "Professor Dumbledore, as far as we know, you support Grindelwald's proposal that wizards can participate in the Muggle War. Could you please explain why?" ?”

The focus of the audience was on Dumbledore who was about to leave. The audience was buzzing, and he answered all of them. His tall and thin figure looked at the questioner expressionlessly until the audience fell silent. It was an embarrassing situation, so he said softly: "If the wizards of the New Future Alliance help the Muggles win the war, no matter which side it is, what kind of demands will they make on the wizarding world, and what kind of support will they get? Excuse me. Have you thought about how you plan to deal with that day?"

The representatives of the magic world discussed in a low voice. Dumbledore said this more than once. He called on the magic world to pay attention to this issue from the very beginning of the war, because it will not only happen in the Muggle world. Sooner or later, it will affect them.

The Ministry of Magic only said he was scaremongering, until a massive surprise attack leveled a village overnight, half of its inhabitants were wizards, killed in their sleep by new Muggle powers.

But the other party was obviously not prepared to entangle here, just sneered, and suddenly stretched out his wand to release a memory: "Professor, isn't the reason why you agree with him because you are very good friends?"

The image formed by the memory floated in the center of the hall, and all the wizards looked there in shock. The young Dumbledore chatted cordially with the still young Grindelwald in Diagon Alley.

Dumbledore also looked at this memory in surprise, and he couldn't help feeling nostalgic. Although Gellert always looked a little lonely at that time, he was much cuter than now.

His expression misunderstood the neighboring wizards, and he couldn't help sighing: "There are many young friends who part ways halfway."

Hearing his comfort, Dumbledore smiled with lowered eyes, but was misunderstood by the other party as bitterness, and could not help but feel more sympathetic to him.

Of course, French magic cannot sympathize with him, and will not let him go: "This is the memory given by your classmates. In Diagon Alley in 1900, they saw that your whole family and Grindelwald were very affectionate."

Dumbledore lowered his eyes, evoked a mocking smile, and said pointedly: "I will not forget everything about everyone who has seen me, of course they will remember the past. Moreover, He said, looking up at the questioner, "Grindelwald's life experience is not a secret in the entire wizarding world. His aunt is Bathilda Bagshot, and she lives in Gottrick's Hollow. We are opposite each other, so we were really, like brothers."

Of course, now that he was closer than a brother, Aberforth couldn't find fault anymore.Dumbledore was distracted before raising his eyes to look at each other.

Although he was smiling politely, his eyes were very sharp: "If there is anything else you want to ask, this gentleman, why not ask together."

Seeing his confession, the members of the French Ministry of Magic on the opposite side were also a little at a loss for a moment. He opened his mouth and wanted to say that since you were close before, who knows what your plans are now.

Unexpectedly, Dumbledore wanted to guess his thoughts, shrugged with a smile, and said: "No matter what our relationship was, I can only say that I don't agree with some of his practices, just like I don't agree with the Ministry of Magic of various countries. It’s like watching your compatriots sacrifice but being indifferent. Your approach will only make more people think that only Gellert Grindelwald can bring them a future. This is what brings the magic world into Dangerous move! You are pushing the wizarding world into his arms, and yet you are still complacent!"

He said, and asked the supervisor again: "If there is nothing wrong, let me resign."

Under his solemn expression, the supervisor could only nod subconsciously and watched the professor stride away.

Before Dumbledore walked to the gate, he looked back at the official again, and smiled as if thinking of something: "I wonder if you have asked Ms. Bagshot about his attitude towards Mr. Grindelwald, and how , the attitude of other people in Grindelwald Manor?"

After he finished speaking, he smiled and shook his head, as if he heard a big joke just now, and he didn't want to listen to the answer, so he strode away without turning around this time.

The people present were left speechless by his last question. If they didn't think that the people in Grindelwald Manor were allies in the new future, how could they pursue a person who had been close as a neighbor?

When Dumbledore walked out of the hall, his brows were tightly frowned. He immediately left the Ministry of Magic, and then Apparated.

The smoke and clouds above the Somme River, the sound of shells bursting and the groans and screams of the wounded can be heard endlessly. The air is full of filth, not only because of the gunpowder smoke, but also because of the traces of large-scale casting.

Dumbledore walked across the battlefield frowning, not even casting a Transfiguration Charm on himself, just changing his clothes to look like a Muggle soldier.When the shells hit the Anglo-French positions and were about to explode around him, he would quietly cast a spell to deflect the shells so that he and the Muggles around him could be saved.Listening to the muggles passing by screaming happily, and then howling the next attack, he anxiously found the person he was looking for.

Newt’s letter stated that Theseus’ last reply was in the garrison of the [-]th Division of the Fifth Army. If Grindelwald found him, he should also be in this division. Without modification and change of appearance, he can only show his true appearance to others, so as to find his target.

Continuous machine gun bullets hit like a torrential rain, blood spattered everywhere, even Dumbledore didn't know how to use magic to protect him, until someone grabbed him and pushed him into the trench, shouting in English: "Professor , why are you here?"

Not familiar, but Dumbledore did know him. This is Jen Collins, one of Grindelwald's disciples, and he also shouted: "Jen, hello! I want to ask if you have seen Mr. Grindelwald?"

Collins was still carrying a Muggle weapon. He nodded first, and then turned his head to signal Dumbledore to go with him. While bending down to avoid shells and bullets, he cursed loudly: "The damn German is too strict, We have been fighting for so long, and we have only advanced less than one kilometer!"

Dumbledore also nodded: "I heard! But it is also a victory to advance one kilometer."

Collins grinned, and led him through the winding trench, only to see Grindelwald lying on the mound of the trench, holding a Muggle sniper weapon in his hand, even if it was a non-magical weapon, he It is also effortless to use. After hitting several targets in a row, he turned his head and said: "Although their things have improved rapidly, it is really too troublesome compared to magic." He paused and said, "You What are you here for?"

"You never replied, and you never told me if Theseus was found!" Dumbledore shouted amidst the sound of shells falling.

Grindelwald also felt that it was too noisy and wasted his voice. He didn't speak again, but just made a gesture. Dumbledore followed his gesture and saw Theseus was also lying on the mound not far away, playing in his hand. No fuss.Only then did Grindelwald approach and said, "I used magic to install a tracker on the gun. As long as it is aimed at the enemy, the bullet will never miss."

Seeing his smug expression, Dumbledore looked up at the sky and shook his head and smiled, only asking: "Why don't you write a letter to say you're safe."

Before he could say anything, Theseus said: "The letter can't be sent out, the other party also has wizards, and they disturbed the owls, but Mr. Grindelwald has already collected all the letters, and he is planning to send someone after the war has calmed down in the past two days. Go out and send them together."

It turned out that the trace of casting the spell was the opponent's trick. A shell exploded nearby while he was contemplating. Grindelwald skillfully pressed his head and led him to avoid it. The trench soil splashed all over the crowd.After calming down a bit, Dumbledore looked up at his disheveled lover, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, and said with a soft smile, "Old man, do you want to take a risk?"

Grindelwald also smiled, and his teeth were particularly white in the gray expression: "At your disposal."

That night, an explosion occurred in the camp of the German Second Army, and a major general of the Fourth Division was killed.But the German army didn't remember how this sneak attack happened, their memories were all confused, and some people even wondered whether there was such a major general beside them.

The war came to an end temporarily, and both sides had to rest. Theseus rejected Dumbledore's offer to deliver the letter for him. After finding an owl to deliver a letter to his brother, Theseus took Dumbledore to visit the camp. .Seeing the fatigue and vigilance of the non-commissioned officers, and even the occasional smiles with inexplicable horror, Dumbledore sighed and said softly: "Their lives are really not easy."

Theseus hummed, and said softly, "I didn't expect that he would send someone to help the Allied Forces fight."

Knowing who this "he" refers to, Dumbledore nodded: "I didn't expect that either. Gellert has always disliked Muggles. Although he told me that this battle must be fought, otherwise wizards will suffer, but I still speculate that he will probably use the Muggle war as a new bargaining chip. After all, he is an opportunist."

Theseus nodded: "But being able to do this still makes a big difference to me."

"You have changed your mind, and you can imagine how the wizarding world will change its attitude towards him in the future." Dumbledore smiled wryly, "It doesn't count if they want to break away their conservative ideas from the Ministry of Magic. We have to keep them from going to the other extreme."

Theseus lowered his head and smiled, and suddenly said, "Actually, I didn't even formally thank you for the incident with Newt."

A few years ago, several students in the school who had a grudge against Rita jointly set up a trap for Rita to punish her. After enduring it for a long time, Rita finally had a dispute with them.It just so happened that the place where they were arguing was next to the tower where Newt raised magical animals. The scuffle between several students caused a riot among the animals. As a result, a few students who were serious at that time were injured because of their inexperienced skills.

Newt wanted to memorize this incident. Originally, the teacher thought that the students would be punished by deducting marks or doing hard work, but Principal Black insisted that such students should be expelled.During the stalemate, Dumbledore suddenly provided an important testimony about how these students framed Rita.As much as the students were reluctant to admit it, they had to tell the truth after Dumbledore gently asked them if they wanted to try the Narcotic.

This memory was not extracted by Dumbledore, but handed over by Grindelwald.No one, especially these students, could have imagined that Grindelwald was on vacation in Hogsmeade when they conspired, and the place where they conspired was the Pig's Head.Hearing the sneaky conversations of those students, Grindelwald gave this memory to Dumbledore as circumstantial evidence, coupled with Dumbledore's protection, Rita and Newt were finally detained only Lost college points and was fined to patrol the Forbidden Forest.But in the same way, the students who insulted her were also deducted college points and cleaned for the school administrator for a month.

Dumbledore raised his chin towards Grindelwald when he heard his words: "Tell him, after all, it was his memory that helped us a lot."

Theseus turned his head to look at Grindelwald who was having a meeting with the saints. They didn't know what they discussed. Grindelwald patted one of the saints on the shoulder and praised each other with a smile. All the saints laughed happily. stand up.

"I can't imagine his usual appearance, especially since he is Credence's other father." Theseus turned his head and said helplessly.

Dumbledore thought for a while, blinked suddenly, and said slyly: "After you finish the battle, let's get together and call Newt and Leta to my house. I'll ask Gellert to cook for you."

Theseus couldn't help but turned his head to look again. Grindelwald was holding a map and telling the saints about the plan.Looking at the man with a serious face who assigned tasks to the saints, he imagined that the man who was so feared by the Ministry of Magic and called the New Demon King was cooking at Dumbledore's house, and felt his jaw drop.Can this meal be eaten?In addition, this devil has a natural dislike for Newt, so he won't poison Newt, right?

Grindelwald finished arranging affairs for the saints at this time, said goodbye to them, and walked over to Dumbledore and said, "Do you want to go back? If you go back, let's go together."

Seeing Dumbledore nodding, and wiping the devil's face again with a handkerchief, Theseus struggled for a long time, and finally said: "About Newt, Mr. Grindelwald, I sincerely thank you."

Probably still feeling uncomfortable, Grindelwald rubbed the ashes on his face with his sleeve again. It is not easy to use magic to clean up here, so he can only make do with it. She curled her lips: "Thank you, professor, if it weren't for his favorite student, I wouldn't be so concerned."

He seemed to grit his teeth when he said he liked the word. Theseus could only tell himself that he was hallucinating, but when he looked at Dumbledore, he saw that the other party was smiling helplessly, and finally said to him: Hughes, be safe, see you after the war, remember to come to eat at home."

Grindelwald took his hand angrily, and quietly cast a fogging technique, and the two of them quickly hid in the fog and apparated.Theseus heard his last words: "Why did you call that kid to eat? Don't come!" He shook his head helplessly, walked back to his position, and prepared for the next battle.

Two years later, when he returned to London with mixed feelings, he did not expect to actually receive an invitation from Dumbledore to have a dinner with him on the weekend before Christmas.He hesitated, but still rushed to the Pig's Head Bar on time as scheduled, but he didn't expect that it would be closed for a day for this party.

He knocked on the door, and the person who answered the door was not from the Dumbledore family, but a grown-up girl whom he hadn't seen for many years.Looking into the smoke-like eyes of the other party, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated, his throat moved slightly, and he was speechless for a while.After a while he said, "Long time no see, Lita." After a pause, he couldn't help but said, "You look beautiful today."

Lita held the door and smiled slightly, her eyes that always seemed to hide many stories showed a curious smile: "Long time no see, war hero."

Theseus blushed for a moment, touched his neck involuntarily, and rolled his eyes wildly, staring at the other party in embarrassment.But as he looked around, his eyes couldn't help but freeze.He almost wanted to take out his handkerchief to wipe his eyes, to see if he was a little dazzled by fighting too much.

He saw Grindelwald wearing a pullover lace apron with various small pudding patterns printed on it, holding up his wand to clean up the bar, making room for a bar that always looked a bit chaotic. A certain amount of space.Although the expression on his face was a bit indifferent, he still put the tables and chairs back skillfully. A beautiful tablecloth was spread on a long table, the vases and candles were placed in the right positions, and a few plates of small pastries made in advance

The heart also makes a warm appearance around the candle.

Only then did Grindelwald turn his head slowly, and said expressionlessly, "How long are you going to stand with the door open? The snow is coming in!"

Only then did Theseus rush in the door, and saw Grindelwald frowned at the rolled up snowflakes, waved his wand, and made a little snowman with magic.The little snowman jumped onto the dessert plate, tilting his head and becoming a decoration.Theseus stared at the childlike decoration for a full minute before he saw his younger brother sitting on the side.He walked over, first gave Newt a hug, and said softly, "I'm back." Then he said, "How is your dragon research going?"

Newt hummed first: "I saw the photo of you coming back in the newspaper, congratulations." Then he said a little excitedly, "The Ukrainian iron-bellied dragon is really interesting."

Only then did Lita stand next to their brother, folded her arms lazily and said, "He has already told me a lot about dragons, I believe your family may marry a dragon for him in the future."

Newt looked up hastily: "Leta, stop teasing me."

Theseus looked at Leta and said, "If he can find a dragon, I feel relieved, but I'm worried that he won't even find a dragon."

"Theseus!" Newt protested softly, but Leta laughed at his brother.He glanced in surprise at his close friend from school and suddenly realized that something had happened that he had missed.

Footsteps sounded from behind them, and Dumbledore appeared downstairs with Credence, and said happily: "It's good to meet you, Theseus, welcome back safely."

Theseus stepped forward and hugged him gently, and then heard Grindelwald snorted coldly, completely dissatisfied.He let go of Dumbledore and watched Credence wink at him, motioning him to be silent.

Dumbledore introduced to everyone at this time: "Gail, you know all my students. Then you have all seen this one," he said, chuckling, "After all, it is Gellert Grindelwald."

Grindelwald nodded coldly to the others, but when he looked at Newt, he said with a half-smile: "Of course I know him, he is your favorite student after all."

"Gail!" Dumbledore patted his chest lightly with his backhand, stopping him with a smile.

Grindelwald had no choice but to mutter: "Fine, it's your student anyway, above all else." Then, he looked at the trio in front of him with a half-smile, "I want some of your professor's favorite lemon snow treasure?"

The trio shook their heads collectively, and Dumbledore's head was already reaching for the small cake rolls on the dining table.When he looked at the long table, he immediately saw the little snowman with the eternal freezing technique, and couldn't help but immediately saw the little snowman with the eternal freezing technique.His eyes lit up, he looked left and right, obviously very satisfied with the decoration.Theseus finally knew why Grindelwald did this kind of thing.

Grindelwald stood aside, but only looked at his lover's hair. For some reason, Dumbledore's long hair was not tied tightly, and a few strands of hair were loose and about to fall out.He finally couldn't bear it anymore, and raised his hand to re-tie it for Dumbledore. Dumbledore bit the cake, turned his back to him and let him tidy it up, while joking with his students.That skilled and natural gesture made the three young people in front of them want to look away for some reason.Only Credence looked up at the sky with no surprise.

After finishing Dumbledore's hair, Grindelwald placed his lowered hand on the other's waist, and said softly, "Take good care of your students, I'm going to the kitchen."

Listening to his exceptionally gentle voice to Dumbledore, the three students thought at the same time: Do they really want to eat the dishes made by this new European devil today?

The four students who have graduated from Hogwarts sat at the table, watching their teacher make tea with a calm expression, only Credence said: "My Dad cooks very delicious food, as long as he is on vacation, we will He can eat very well, even Great Aunt Bathilda praised him as the blue one! It's a pity that you have to go home for Christmas, and he cooks our Christmas dinner every year." He said, turning his head to look at Dumbledore , "Papa, have you discussed what to eat for Christmas this year?"

Dumbledore looked up: "Gail said that he can make roasted pork knuckle this year. He has never made this dish before, so he can try it this year. For dessert, he will have a cheesecake with cherry syrup. He has saved up cherries for rewards in spring." .” He said, and said to his students, “This is still my special request.”

It was too homely, and the other three Hogwarts graduates felt that the atmosphere was so weird that it exceeded their imagination, but soon, the dishes made by Grindelwald were put on the table.The appetizer of creamy asparagus is served with Scottish lamb soup, and the main course is cheese pork chops with Italian grilled carrots and cheese dumplings.

They ate and chatted, and Dumbledore asked about the last year of the Battle of Theseus, especially the state of the Eastern Front, and asked Newt what new research he had on dragon blood. On the table, his brother Aberforth And my sister Ariana sometimes interjects.

Aberforth didn't seem comfortable with his brother without some sarcasm, and he said loudly, "Albus, that's enough! Why can't you talk about something light and light, like Christmas? You'd better come to me." Help, or we will be too busy here."

Dumbledore smiled and winked at him: "That can't be done, Gail and I have made an appointment to go to Jerusalem. But Credence has promised to help you for me."

Curling his lips, Aberforth said in a low voice: "The world of two is really enough!"

Leta couldn't help but chuckled at their conversation, and Theseus couldn't help but look up at him again, and when she met Theseus' eyes, she didn't hide, but tilted her head, as if wondering what the other was trying to do, Theseus I could only turn my head away in embarrassment.

Grindelwald didn't speak the whole time. He kept a straight face and slowly ate his share, until Dumbledore quietly and pretending to inadvertently shift the carrots on his plate to his plate while talking to others, Grindelwald Devo raised his head and said slowly: "Honey, eat the carrots obediently, otherwise dessert will be cancelled, and we will only eat roasted vegetables."

Dumbledore turned his head and stared at him dissatisfiedly: "You are too much, you know I don't like carrots."

Grindelwald passed the dish to him again: "I changed the cooking method and added some cream, milk, wine and basil. It will definitely not taste the taste. Eating carrots is good for your eyes. You don't want to eat it , I will feed you in front of your students."

Dumbledore picked up a piece of carrot forcibly without anger, bit it vigorously and ate it.After eating, he suddenly blinked in surprise and whispered, "Oh, this time it was really a success."

Grindelwald proudly said: "Of course." After a pause, he smiled like a prank, "This is a cooking recipe from a Muggle recipe, specially designed to coax five-year-olds who don't like vegetables."

Arianna, who had endured it for a long time, burst out laughing first, and even Aberforth laughed.Anna laughed until tears flowed, she wiped her eyes and said, "I testify, I have seen Gellert's cookbook!"

This is so exasperating!Dumbledore pointed his fork at his family members with staring eyes and feigned anger: "Which side are you on?"

Credence said slowly: "We are all on Dad's side when it comes to letting you eat vegetables."

Facing Dumbledore's gaze, the three Hogwarts graduates collectively lowered their heads, but laughed so hard that their shoulders trembled.Dumbledore could only look up at the sky, and looked helplessly at the people around him: "Did you do it on purpose, Gail?"

Grindelwald patted him on the shoulder kindly: "I'm for your body, my dear." He said, looking at the situation on the table, and then said, "After eating your carrots, I'm going to serve them Dessert."

Dumbledore grimaced at him, but ate up the special carrot, watching Grindelwald wave his wand in satisfaction, remove the plates from the table, and serve up orange jelly cake.Dumbledore seemed much more satisfied. Unexpectedly, when he cut open the cake, what was inside was not cream, but Muggle ice cream, which made him almost cheer: "Gail, you are so kind!"

The lemon-flavored ice cream replaces the cream, and the sweetness of the orange jelly is neutralized, and then sandwiched in the cake, it is really delicious.Even Theseus couldn't help eating the second piece. When he stretched out his hand, he saw Lita on the opposite side couldn't help smiling at him. He couldn't help being embarrassed, but Lita said softly: "Hurry up!" Take it, I still want to eat."

He took away his own cake, and then he saw Rita pick a piece with downcast eyes, put it on her plate, then looked up and smiled at him, as if thinking he was a little silly.

Dumbledore looked at the two students in slight surprise at this moment, and almost wanted to turn to look at Newt, but he restrained himself, thoughtfully forked his own cake, and then heard Grindelwald in his ear Very softly said: "Eat yours, don't worry about it."

I can't control this, Dumbledore smiled at him helplessly, and then said softly: "Thank you, dear."

"Thank you? Thank you for letting the student you like come in without using a single magic to draw him out?" Grindelwald sneered.

"Why on earth do you have such a big opinion on him?" Dumbledore said lightly with a smile.

"Because he has the kind of material you like. He doesn't pursue power or fame, but only asks the truth." Grindelwald said slowly, "And I don't."

Dumbledore looked at him in surprise, but he didn't look up, but slowly forked up a piece of orange jelly. When fresh orange jam was made, the skin might not have been cleaned, and when it was eaten, it was slightly astringent.Dumbledore sighed at this moment, held his hand tenderly, and said softly: "Yes, Newt does have this quality that I like, but, Gail, I love you whether you have it or not, I love you." I only love you alone."

Grindelwald put down the fork in his hand, and finally looked up at him: "Of course, of course I know." He smiled and lowered his eyes slightly, "But you have to understand that some emotions are not that I don't want them to appear, they are It won’t show up.” The uneasiness, jealousy, and anger that accompanied her like a shadow won’t disappear easily.

Dumbledore held his hand tighter and intertwined with his fingers: "I know, but I am here, always, my dear."

Grindelwald raised his eyes, his eyes were the same as when he was a boy, as long as Dumbledore appeared,
