The Good Life of Home Cook Grindelwald

2018

On the top floor of the tallest tower in Nurmengard Castle, Dumbledore stands in front of the huge bay window, looking silently at the white snow in the mountains outside the window. He seems to be thinking about something, but in fact his mind is almost the same as that of the snow Blank.

As the most respected wizard in the wizarding world, he has lived here for a long time. Since 1999, he and his partner traveled around the world again, and they have been outside for almost ten years, whether it is the Muggle world or the magic of various countries. boundary.Both worlds are different than they were 100 years ago.

Muggle communication tools have developed rapidly, and soon there will be a communication method no worse than the Floo Network in the wizarding world, and they even start to use their technology to create children.This made Grindelwald very interested. For a long time, he has been studying how to use Muggle technology in magic, and help those who want children but have never had children to use magic to combine.

His behavior made Dumbledore quite amused, and he couldn't imagine that the person who tortured the entire wizarding world, especially the Ministry of Magic of various countries, who almost wanted to commit suicide would be interested in this kind of experiment in his old age.Even when he proposed to meet some old friends, or suddenly wanted to visit a member of the Order of the Phoenix, Grindelwald would patiently accompany him, no longer thinking about the two-person world when he was young.

After the complete defeat of Voldemort, the wizarding world has entered a relatively very peaceful period, and even how to get along with future Muggles and how to amend the "Secrecy Act" have also made steady progress.Especially the Charter Council, it seems that after more than half a century of development and Voldemort's destruction, it finally played its due role.

When they traveled around the world, Dumbledore looked at the changes in the Muggle world and the wizarding world, especially the peaceful life in the wizarding world, and even felt relieved and proud, but Grindelwald didn't seem to feel anything about it.Compared with the changes in the Charter Council of the wizarding world, he seems to only care about spending more time with Dumbledore. As long as he can be peacefully with his lover, he doesn't care about any changes in the outside world.

Dumbledore didn't find anything at first, until just after the millennium, after Bathilda and Ariana passed away one after another, Aberforth suddenly said after Anna's funeral: "Don't you think that the old devil in your family has been too lately?" Is it quiet?"

Only then did he realize that Grindelwald was too quiet!He suddenly let go of external affairs and devoted himself to living a life of seclusion.I am afraid that even if there is another second generation of Voldemort, he will not worry about the wizarding world anymore.As he wrote in his last article in the newspaper: You can do it for yourselves.

This made Dumbledore a little worried. He sat next to Grindelwald at night, watched him put down the book, looked at himself gently, and asked softly: "Gail, you seem a little lately," he hesitated After a while, I didn't know what to say, and finally I could only think carefully, "I'm a bit lacklustre."

Grindelwald, who quickly caught the meaning of his words, laughed: "I haven't caused trouble for the Ministry of Magic for a long time. Do they feel uncomfortable? They all came to you."

Dumbledore shook his head: "I think you have recently..."

Grindelwald put the book aside, and took his hand contentedly: "I have done everything I have to do, and I don't have any regrets. It's good to enjoy my leisure now."

It's right to think about it this way. Whether they are active or passive, they have been tossing for 100 years. Now they can rest, but they feel uncomfortable.Dumbledore also laughed, patted his hand and said, "I hope you can get used to this kind of life."

Grindelwald has adapted better than him, and even he started a long time ago and stopped intervening in the decision-making of the new future.Helena has never been married. In the early years, it was to prevent the blood curse from reappearing after a few generations. But in her later years, she did not have a caring partner.Credence once hoped that they would talk to Helena, but Grindelwald actually went, went to play a few games of wizard chess with his granddaughter, and said to Credence when he came back: "Everyone has their own Forget about choice and happiness, just take care of your Nagini."

Watching Nagini curled up sleeping next to his lap, Credence thought about it, and finally gave up, just coming back regularly to live with their father, and he even took Nagini and Helena to the Nurmengard lived in Nurmengard for a year, superficially to accompany his fathers, but in fact it was for the food that changed every day after his Dad retired completely.

Feeling that these two juniors were really disturbing, Grindelwald suddenly left a note one day, took Dumbledore and ran away, and did not come back until Christmas the following year. The family of three understood what the retired leader meant, It was back to the days when I would visit the two of them every once in a while, and have a meal by the way.

During their retirement, Grindelwald still retained a habit he had had since he was young, and would visit the Muggle world every once in a while.Dumbledore discovered it when he and he traveled around the world for the first time, but he was surprised by his lover's habit. After all, Grindelwald was not a Muggle-loving person.

Sitting in a cafe on the streets of Rome, the young Grindelwald said casually: "Looking at them, you will understand that when I put down the magic, I will make the same mistakes as those people. I thought I had Powerful magic can rule others, but think about thousands of years ago, when they had more people than us, they also wanted to rule us. As a result, none of us could do it. Instead, the magic world killed its own people. A bunch of Muggles, and Muggles killed a bunch of Muggles by mistake. Besides, we always think that magic is very strong, but look at Muggles, they don’t have magic, but they can always do something that surprises us and can make up for their shortcomings.”

He was still so young at that time, and he already had such an understanding. Dumbledore always felt that he loved him very much, but he could still find his strengths and love him more.

Just think about it now, what the hell is Grindelwald trying to do in 100 years?The main role of the new future is actually to make the Charter Council promoted by Dumbledore more powerful. After Voldemort's rise, the main role of the new future is to help the Order of the Phoenix and restrain Voldemort.Even as the leader of the new future, Grindelwald didn't have too many constraints on his subordinates, but he himself has never lived a very luxurious life, unlike the pure-blood family, which is rich and powerful.

After Voldemort's downfall, besides going out with Dumbledore, he also did experiments at home, recorded some experimental content, and then maintained his habit of cooking at home since his youth.If it wasn't for the special introduction, no one would have thought that this old man who squinted his eyes every day at home, couldn't read clearly even at small characters, and had a deadpan face every day, would have caused a huge storm in Europe.

He seems to be fulfilling the promise he made when he was young. As long as Dumbledore is there and decides what to do, he will support him to the end and face everything with him.

This kind of confrontation and support suddenly fell down after 2017.

He fell so suddenly that Dumbledore was caught off guard.One night, after dinner, Grindelwald leaned on the recliner and read a book. After reading it for a while, he seemed to fall asleep. Dumbledore wanted to ask him to get up and go back to his room to sleep, but Grindelwald refused to open his eyes.He was still breathing, his chest was still heaving, but he fell into a long sleep.

At that time, he suddenly seemed to have forgotten everything in his mind, and he didn't even know how he invited the St. Mungo's doctor. Finally, he shook his head and said softly when he heard the other party: "Unfortunately, Mr. Grindelwald's various Parts are failing, he's going to his end, I'm sorry, Professor."

After sending the doctor away, he sat on the bedside for two full days. When Dumbledore felt that he was going to be exhausted, Grindelwald slowly opened his eyes, saw his red eyes, and asked softly: "What happened?" What's the matter? Why are you sitting here?"

Seeing him looking normal, but thinking of the doctor's announcement of his end point, Dumbledore blinked and wanted to open his mouth, but he didn't know what to say, and his blue eyes gradually shimmered. They are all together, and all the difficulties and happiness are spent together. At this time, he suddenly told him that Grindelwald will go to the end one step ahead of him. Although they are indeed old, Dumbledore still cannot accept it.He even wondered if he could ask LeMay for a potion of longevity made from the Philosopher's Stone.

Looking at his expression, Grindelwald had already guessed what was going on. He was not surprised, but raised his eyebrows: "Oh, am I going to leave first?" He only said a few words, and he already felt a little tired , closing his eyes, he groped for Dumbledore's hand, and said softly, "Don't think so much, if I leave first, it's enough for you to live well."

More than 20 years ago, he promised Grindelwald in the headmaster's office at Hogwarts that he would live longer than him and would not walk ahead of him, but when this day came, Dumbledore felt very ridiculous , even ridiculous.This person is two years younger than him, and his aunt lived a long time, and his father and other members of the family did not have such a short life span. Why did Gellert Grindelwald leave so early?Because he has done everything he wanted to do, so he has no regrets?

Grindelwald is very calm. He sleeps for a long time and wakes up for a short time. In the first few times of waking up, he has already dealt with the things that should be dealt with.

First of all, he asked to go back to Nurmengard Castle, and there were so many exquisite rooms in the castle, but he insisted on living in this small room on the top of the tower.

"If I want to leave, I want to walk while looking at this scenery. He means a lot to me." Grindelwald has little strength, but he is very firm. No one can reverse his wishes, so he has to follow his request. Transfer here.

And a long time ago, after Voldemort broke into the new future headquarters for the first time, Grindelwald made a will: all the power of Fort Nurmengard belonged to his partner Albus Dumbledore.He left behind some spell experiments, some to Harry Potter and some to Hermione Granger.Investments in Diagon Alley, UK Inherited by Remus Lupine, Ron Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Rolf Scamander, Neville Longbottom, entire estate in Europe Inherited by his granddaughter Helena.And New Future does not belong to his personal finances, which are collectively negotiated by New Future's internal councilors.

When he was sober, he reconfirmed the will and said that he was willing to come and see him as an old man. He would find a time when he was sober to visit together. He would not use it in the future. He wanted to go quietly.In the last part of his life he wanted to see no one but Dumbledore.

He had already chosen the cemetery, and proposed that no condolence ceremony would be held after death.What's the point of talking so much after death.

However, before Ariana died, the story between him and Dumbledore hadn't been finished yet. He followed Anna's handwriting and completed the first draft of the book in his later years, and sent it to Hermione along with his letter to Dumbledore. Granger: "I know that you have been researching the past of me and Al since the fourth grade. Now I will leave it to you. You can publish it in the future, but remember that the first author signs Anna's name. Also, you have to swear, to you The teaching part must be fair and rigorous.”

Hermione took the manuscript, looked at the old man who was leaning against the head of the bed, his voice was no longer full of energy, but his eyes were still sharp, and she nodded solemnly and solemnly.

Grindelwald looked at Harry and Malfoy, tapped his wand, and a piece of paper flew out of the magic book manuscript given to the former savior. He blinked slyly: "Muggles have already started experiments, what kind of genetic man-made project?" , I tried it, it’s not too difficult. If you like children, you can try this magic.”

Harry and Draco looked at the piece of paper at the same time. They heard the old man researching this magical magic ten years ago one Christmas, but now, he actually took out the finished product.

After watching for a while, Harry looked up: "Sir, why don't you be a child with the professor first?"

Grindelwald laughed a few times, but sooner, his body unable to bear such emotions made him cough.After Dumbledore helped him calm down, he said: "I don't like children. Credence, that was an accident, and your professor likes him. But after I die, you can ask your professor if he wants to do it." One. Al's child, it must be fun. I'll forget it, who knows if it will be a new demon king in the future."

Dumbledore looked at him, then at Harry, and shook his head silently at them, signaling them not to ask any more questions.

When the first-generation and second-generation leaders of the new future visited him, they almost washed their faces with tears. Grindelwald waved his hands and said weakly: "Okay, everyone is going to die. I'm not in a hurry. Why are you crying? Look good." In the new future, it is serious to be optimistic about your professor and the magic world."

When the members of the new future were parting, they kissed his fingers one by one. Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald's indifferent expression with mixed feelings in his heart.This man was so calm before he died, and he treated his members and his friends with no regrets, as if death was a part of his plan, he had already figured out how to go forward, no matter how others nostalgia.

When there was no one around, he finally couldn't help but said, "Gellert, don't you remember even a little bit?"

"If I can live a little longer, live well, and be with you, of course. But when death must come, Al, I will greet him frankly like the youngest of three brothers, like an old friend .” Grindelwald shook his hand and gave him a smile, “I think you can handle it.”

In the previous life, without him, Dumbledore had handled the world so well for so many years. In this life, the leader of the White Wizard has no entanglement and is more able to handle tasks with ease.

Dumbledore, who has survived until now, suddenly gave up his calmness, the weakness he had not seen for a long time overthrew his inner strength, his voice trembled a little: "That's impossible, Gail, I can't handle it, I can't handle it well. "

Grindelwald sighed, hugging him into his arms, feeling the sound of the water falling silently on his neck from the people who had been with him for a hundred years, he said softly: "I have never seen someone who is smarter or wiser than you." I can’t even compare to myself. Al, think about you, there are still many people who can accompany you. Dorje, you can complete the plans that you didn’t complete when you were a student, go for a walk, or you can go and see Aberforth Watching the Pig's Head Bar. In short, it's definitely better than guarding me."

Dumbledore shook his head on his shoulder, refusing to let him go, he could only sigh again, but did not speak again.He believed that even though Dumbledore was sad now, he would let go.Just like the calm chief white wizard in the previous life.

He fell asleep again in Dumbledore's arms.Just sleeping and waking up like this, he even lasted for a few months, until the beginning of 18.

The snow-capped mountains on the opposite side of Fort Nurmengard remained unchanged all year round, and were all white. Even at this time, the sound of gusts of wind passing by could still be heard occasionally.Dumbledore stood in front of this bay window, thinking about their past life, but it seemed like he didn't think about anything.

Until the long-sleeping person behind him woke up again, calling him softly: "Al?"

Walking quickly to his side, Dumbledore leaned close to his lips, listening to what the old man, who was already exhausted and skinny, had to say, but saw this man suddenly hold his hand, put it on his heart, exhausted He asked him vigorously, "Al, in my life, I haven't let you down, have I?"

Dumbledore was slightly startled, but he shook his head faster and said softly, "No, of course not, I've always been proud of you."

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled softly: "That's good. Then I'm satisfied."

This was the last word he said. Dumbledore watched him smile and close his eyes, feeling that the hand holding him was getting lighter and lighter, and the heartbeat in his chest under the palm of his hand gradually disappeared.He sat alone for a while, and finally realized that the person he loved for so long had left.

He didn't move, didn't even call anyone.He maintained this posture, and after an unknown amount of time, his blue eyes turned to look at Grindelwald's wand beside his pillow.

The aspen wand, which was very similar in shape to his wand, had a small pendant attached to the end from before the wedding they witnessed in Bathilda.Grindelwald always said that it was his amulet and never took it off, but Dumbledore had already seen that it was sealed with a very advanced transfiguration technique.For so many years, Grindelwald never said what it was, and Dumbledore never asked.

At this moment, at the moment when his lover passed away, for some reason, Dumbledore suddenly felt that this thing was very important, and he should take a look.Anyway, his Gellert is out of his control.And everything about Nurmengard has been taken over by him from this moment on.

Dumbledore picked up his wand and lightly chanted a revealing spell at the small pendant. The shell of the pendant slowly cracked, and a very small piece of parchment fell out of it, like a letter.

He picked up the letter and unfolded it carefully. It looked old.But when he looked up, his eyes couldn't help but widen.

"Dear Gellert:

I have received your letter, although I originally wanted to say that, out of the utmost respect, I will not comment on your act of destroying your ancestral house.But I still can't help but feel very happy when no one is around.You won't be angry, will you?But Aberforth also said that you did a good job.I think, he has already agreed, I can also be proud, can't I?Although people should be more rational, but when I was young, if someone could do this for me, I still have the right to be proud in private, don't I?

Anna is in excellent health and I feel she is very stable since our program was phased in.If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have known that love can have such great power, and I could have brought my family to this point.When I think that you are not by my side now, unable to witness all this with my own eyes, I feel that I am missing a piece of joy.

Dorji's trip was very smooth, and he also sent me a picture of the Chimera beast. When I thought that the core of your wand is their hair, I couldn't help but take out this picture every day.While Aberforth disliked me, he made a small picture frame for me, framed it for me and put it on the desk. I thank him for you.

While you were away, I continued to improve the information you left me, and I even submitted a manuscript to the "Daily Prophet" under the pseudonym we shared, and they happily accepted the manuscript and paid me the manuscript fee, etc. When you come back, I will read that article to you personally. Even if you read it and find it annoying, you have to sit there and listen to me finish reading.

I know you can't come back for a while, but I miss you very much. I dreamed of you the night before, but in the dream you were wearing a lace apron, which seemed to be Bathilda's. It was very funny and woke me up with a smile.After waking up, I still laughed for a while, but after laughing, I felt empty inside.Without you by my pillow, without your voice waking me up in the morning, without your good night at night, and without the desserts and dishes you change every day, without the flowers you send, without your voice, the familiar Godric's Valley Many things are missing.

I looked at the things you left me, and even wondered once, are you just a dream I made?But fortunately, the blood alliance you left to me reminds me every day that all this is true.

I miss you, I hope you are safe outside and come back soon, even if there is no greater benefit, no bright future, as long as you are by my side, it is a very beautiful thing to grow old in Godric's Hollow, and I also willing.

Hope you return early.

Love you, Albus. "

This is a letter that has been long forgotten by Dumbledore. It is his reply after he knew that Grindelwald destroyed the Grindelwald Manor because he refused the marriage arranged by his family. .

This is what Grindelwald called the talisman, their first correspondence since their separation, to be kept as a treasure by him, to hang on his wand until death takes him away.

Consciousness was drawn into the past when he read this letter, and he couldn't even feel the water gushing out of his eyes, which almost wetted and destroyed this letter that Grindelwald had treasured all his life.Putting down the letter, Dumbledore sat there, the old days filling him, making his chest restless.The better the memory, the more it can remind him of the pain in the future, and the pain almost swept his whole body, even if he took a big breath, he couldn't feel the air entering.

He can't make a sound, his most important person is no longer in this world, and he doesn't know how to solve the following problems, even if his younger brother, adopted son, granddaughter, friends, and students are by his side, they can no longer fill the gap in his chest blank.

"I can't do it," he finally found his own voice, as if he had always replied helplessly every time this person made an unreasonable request, and whispered to the person who had already left him, "Without you , I can't handle it."

He said softly, carefully resealed the letter, hung it back on Grindelwald's wand, straightened his clothes for the man who had stopped breathing a long time ago, bent slightly to give his loved one a hug, and suddenly came from Apparating on Fort Nurmengard.

The cold wind howled outside Nurmengard Castle, but there was no one in the room at the highest part of the tower.

Grindelwald couldn't see it all. After he stopped breathing, he quickly walked into a white world, just like when he was hit by the death curse in 1981. He stood for a while, waiting to feel the pain on his neck. When it was cold, he turned his head, and he saw the faceless god of death in black robe quietly floating behind him.

He pulled a smile: "Hello, old friend, can we move on?"

Unexpectedly, Death asked him a question: "Do you understand?"

Grindelwald took a deep breath, and his temper, suppressed by more than 100 years of prison and rebirth, was about to explode again: "Don't come again, I warn you! If you reincarnate me to different nodes over and over again , even if you are the god of death, I will not let you play around."

The Grim Reaper didn't seem to be as arrogant as before, even a little gloomy, he said coldly: "I won't tell you, go and talk to him."

Grindelwald, who didn't understand what he meant, frowned. Before he could speak, the white mist around him had dissipated. When he looked up, it was Godric's Hollow. There are only a few houses here, Bathilda's house that he is familiar with, the house that the Potters used as a safe house in the early years, and Dumbledore's old house.

Grindelwald hesitated for a moment, and walked slowly towards the old house of the Dumbledores. He had a very bad premonition, but when he stepped forward and pulled the door, the door could not be opened.He breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could catch his breath, he heard a surprised voice: "Grindelwald?"

The voice was so familiar yet so unfamiliar, he slowly turned his head and looked at the other party.He opened his mouth, and after a while, he finally found his voice: "Damn it, is this all a plan of death? I haven't changed...?"

Interrupting his anger, Dumbledore said calmly: "Oh, no, Mr. Grindelwald, you have changed it, it can be said that the whole history has been changed. You have done a very good job, beyond my imagination."

He is old, even dead, but he is not unintelligent. Listening to what Dumbledore said, although his mind went blank for a while, Grindelwald quickly understood.This result did not excite him, and even terrified him.He is no longer the mighty Dark Lord of the last life, or even the fearsome leader who can change the world in this life, he is just an old man at the mercy of fate.

Taking a step back slowly, he leaned on the railing before sitting on the steps of Dumbledore's old house: "It's like a time converter, you sent me back, but you still stand watching from the gap between time and space, Yeah?"

Dumbledore was very calm, and even nodded happily: "You can say that. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. Of course, this is not my will, nor my ability, it's just the idea of ​​death," he thought for a while , or decided to explain clearly to this person, "He naturally hopes that I will go back with you, as a pair of people who have pursued the Deathly Hallows and deciphered all of them. After enlightenment, they can give up becoming the master of the Death God," he thought. Thinking of an exact explanation, he paused for a moment before saying, "A kind of reward."

"However," Dumbledore lowered his head and chuckled, "I refused. It just seems that you have no way to refuse, because after all, he is more interested in your soul."

Grindelwald no longer had the energy to comment on the pranks of the god of death, and the feeling of being played by fate made him fall into a kind of despair again.This is definitely not good news. No matter what the reason is, it is different from what he imagined and planned.

Leaning on the steps, looking up at the sky of the afterlife, he murmured: "But this is not what I want."

Dumbledore said calmly with an appropriate voice of pity: "Mr. Grindelwald, in this world, many wishes cannot be fulfilled. You are very successful now."

As if he didn't hear what he said clearly, Grindelwald, who didn't even listen to him at all, said softly: "I just want to make you happy. In the end, you and Death told me that Dumbledore didn't really want to repent Then tell me, what have I done in the past 100 years?"

He thought it was an opportunity for Dumbledore to live a more relaxed life, but in fact, Dumbledore just handed him a blank life, and the original him did not want to accept a relaxed and happy life. new life.

He once thought that he made Dumbledore, whether it was the last life or this life.

In his last life, he persistently thought, if it weren't for his blows and his long-term opposition, how could the wizarding world realize that Dumbledore is indispensable. Dumbledore's reputation is because of him, it is an achievement The chief white wizard of the previous life.And in this life, he calculated everything, gave all the glory to Dumbledore, protected everything about him, and let this life, his Al, have a fulfilling life.

But in fact, never, never he made Dumbledore, Dumbledore made him.It was Dumbledore who achieved his ideals in the previous life, and the opportunity to make up for it in this life.

It was the chief white wizard who gave up the opportunity to do it all over again and live an ordinary and warm life again, and handed over a completely blank Al to him, fulfilling his dream.

It is a sacrifice!It is a critical moment to decisively give up on yourself!Like Leta Lestrange gave up the chance to survive to protect the Scamander brothers, like Lily Potter gave up her life to give Harry Potter special powers, like Albus Dumbledore in the last Years of life to plan the layout.Teachers and students like Hogwarts, including Snape, tried their best, even if they gave up their own lives, to win time for Harry to defeat Voldemort.This was what Dumbledore finally recognized, the greater good, and what he continued to do, even after his death.

This is probably what the God of Death wanted him to understand, and it was also the reason why he got another chance: in his last life, he would rather give up his life than tell the whereabouts of the Elder Wand in order to preserve the peace of Dumbledore after his death.It was the only sacrifice in his life.Even the resurrection stone can work, I'm afraid it's because only by voluntary sacrifice can it arouse its true role of protecting the soul.This is the reason why both his life in 1981 and Harry in 1995 were dragged back to the world after Avada Kedavra.

Dumbledore looked at the suddenly decadent old man sitting at the door of his house in embarrassment. He had mixed feelings in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him.Until the god of death suddenly stood in front of them, looking more embarrassing than them.

Dumbledore looked at this old friend, and only heard him say: "I'm afraid I have to interrupt you, Mr. Dumbledore, the you in this life, it seems that you are not going to continue his life anymore. Because," he said Looking at it, the hole under the faceless cloak precisely made a hesitant expression, looking at Grindelwald with his head bowed in frustration.

Grindelwald heard it naturally. He raised his head and said weakly: "If you want, you can merge with the present of this life at any time, right? Just like me at the beginning?" Take over the memory of the past and the life of the future .

Dumbledore pursed his lips and did not speak, but the god of death on one side answered for him: "Indeed."

"Then go, Al, don't do stupid things, let me beg you, don't let you in this life still end up like this. Go and take a good look at this world, this magical world with your great achievements, Don't always hide here. You hide when you are alive, and don't hide when you die. Anyway, I am dead now. If you live, we will never see each other again. You don't have to feel embarrassed, You don't need to feel embarrassed, you deserve these happiness." Grindelwald said, barely lifted his spirits, stood up with a knee, and even rejected Dumbledore's extended hand, looking at Death, "We can Are you leaving?"

Reaper nodded slightly, this time Grindelwald really doesn't need to be reborn again, he can, move on.

Grindelwald paused for a moment before following the Grim Reaper, as if mustering up his last courage, turned around, with a sullen face maintaining a calm expression: "Al, I owe you an apology, I'm sorry to go I ruined your peaceful life."

Dumbledore couldn't help closing his eyes. Before Grindelwald was about to leave, he suddenly said in a hurry: "Someone in the Wizengamot once said that in your later years, you repented..."

Grindelwald gave him a slightly surprised look, and finally showed a gentle smile, just like when they first met in the last life, in the night of Godric's Hollow, they sneaked out to lie on the bed after Ariana fell asleep. The same as when looking at the stars on the grass.He no longer has any resentment, nor any hostility, he just said gently: "What do you think I am confessing?"

Day and night, on the prison of Nurmengard Tower, listening to the wind outside, Grindelwald gave up the great future, gave up the comeback, and just watched the time and space change outside the window quietly, In the end, there was only one thing he thought about, and after his rebirth, he only did this one thing.

He used this person as an excuse to kill countless people.And this time, he saved countless people for this person.

The tenderness to one person, but the cruel love to the whole world is terrible, but this time, Grindelwald learned how to be gentle to the world that this person loves for one person.Maybe Grindelwald still can't reach a reconciliation with the world, but unlike his previous life, he is willing to give up being an enemy of the world for one person.

That's the sacrifice he made.Before death and after rebirth, he worked hard.Although the goal is different from that of many people, even if some people know the cause and effect, they may still criticize him for not doing enough.But life is always different. For Grindelwald, this is already the best result he can achieve.

Grindelwald reached out his hand in vain at this time, but put it down halfway.This person is not the Al of his life, but the Dumbledore he owed in the previous life.It is impossible for this person to hold his hand again.He lowered his eyes, smiled self-deprecatingly, stopped looking at the other party, and just said softly: "Go back, Professor Dumbledore. Goodbye."

It's been long enough that he's stopped in this world.He has realized his mistake and has been able to give Dumbledore an answer within his own ability
