[HP] Aunt of the Savior

This time, Grindelwald finally got his wish and saw the surprised look on Dumbledore's face. He knew that his request was indeed abrupt and incomprehensible. He even suspected that Dumbledore would refuse the request, but in the end, Dumbledore Bullido actually agreed.

The two of them apparated into a cemetery behind Godric's Hollow church. The staggered passages in the middle of the cemetery were covered with thick, untrodden white snow, and the tombstones were also covered with snow-white hats. See here It seems to be quieter than any other place in the world.

Dumbledore led the way silently. He led Grindelwald straight through rows of tombstones, and finally stopped in front of a black marble tombstone.

"Here it is." Dumbledore said softly, "I buried Ariana and my mother together, I believe they will be very happy."

The name of Kendra Dumbledore and Ariana Dumbledore are engraved on the top of this tombstone, and an epitaph is engraved below it.

"Where the treasure is, so is the heart." Grindelwald squatted down in front of the tombstone, squinting his eyes and reading the words on the tombstone.He was silent thoughtfully, turning his head to look at Dumbledore standing beside him.He thought he understood why Dumbledore had carved those words on the tombstones of his mother and sister.

They were Dumbledore's treasures, and his heart was always with them.When they rested forever in this land, all his old ambitions were buried with them.

"I want to come here because I want to tell you the answer to that matter." Grindelwald stood up and said this sentence more smoothly than he expected. "You know what I'm talking about—who killed Ariana, you asked me, remember?"

Dumbledore's back was stiff and straight, and his whole body exuded an aura that was enough to make everyone who knew him feel strange. "You answered it 50 years ago."

"Yes, but that was not a frank and direct answer." Grindelwald looked at Ariana's name on the tombstone, "I said to you at that time, 'You should know in your heart, Albus Dumbledore' , but do you really know?"

Before Dumbledore could answer, the voice of a wizard apparating suddenly came in the air, followed by a familiar, angry roar: "Gellert Grindelwald—how dare you Here?!"

"Aberforth Dumbledore," Grindelwald's expression became gloomy, and he glanced coldly at the tombstone beside him, "Are you planning to do something to me here?"

The words worked better than any spell, and Aberforth slowly lowered the arm holding his wand, but he still looked angry, wheezing heavily from his nose.He glared at his brother disapprovingly, he knew that it was Albus who brought Grindelwald to Ariana's grave, and Albus had his hands in his pockets, looking like he was holding his wand ready to stop This conflict may occur.Yeah, Albus must have known he was coming, Aberforth thought angrily, he'd been enchanted on the tombstone, he'd known as soon as they got here, but of course it couldn't be hidden from the two men.

"What are you doing here?" Aberforth demanded loudly and rudely, glaring at his brother who was supposed to be "sick in bed".He just knew that Albus couldn't possibly be sick with the threat looming now, especially for the ridiculous reason of being overtired.

Of course, Aberforth didn't believe what was being said in the papers and on the radio.If Albus said Voldemort was back, then it was true.Aberforth felt like laughing at the memory of the Ministry's stupid whitewashing.

"Let's confess some facts. Maybe my words will be more credible in front of the dead." Grindelwald shrugged, deliberately speaking in a nonchalant tone. "I'm sure you all want to know whose spell killed Ariana during the chaos that day?"

Aberforth's eyes widened, his knuckles gripping his wand were tense, and he looked like he was about to shake his fist, but he didn't move, "Who is it?"

"Aberforth, it seems that time has not increased your wisdom, of course it is me - how could I be wrong?" Grindelwald turned his head to meet Aberforth's anger without fear, the corner of his mouth unexpectedly A cruel-looking smile rose.

"Who else could it be but me? And, that's not an accident, Aberforth, that's what I planned. I know what Albus is capable of, and I want a good sidekick. But this good His helpers were chained in shackles—a mentally insane sister, a clumsy brother... So, I had the brilliant idea of ​​creating a fight, and then Albus would have a dead sister, and a dead sister. Brother who blames himself for killing his sister. This way, Albus can get rid of all his burdens and choose a path that matches his abilities instead of staying at home and being a healer or guardian. But I was wrong Well, I knew Albus was not going to come with me after it happened, he fell into the lies I spun to get his sister out of hiding, and he was sober about his sister's death. So I I left and went to finish my great career alone."

Listening to Grindelwald's eloquent talk, Dumbledore remained surprisingly calm and silent. He was even calmer than when he heard Grindelwald's vindictive and perfunctory answer 50 years ago.And Aberforth has been staring at Grindelwald with eyes full of anger, and the wand in his hand looks like he wants to poke Grindelwald's nose.

"Okay, my story is over, now if you want, you can kill me at any time." Grindelwald raised his eyebrows at the angry Aberforth, provocative and contemptuous in his eyes smell. "...Do you need me to teach you a few spells that can kill people?"

"This is the truth? This is the truth?!" Aberforth was trembling with anger, and the wand in his hand was aimed at Grindelwald's heart. "If that's what you want..."

"Aberforth!" Dumbledore suddenly called out his brother's name loudly, "Aberforth! No!"

"Are you afraid that I will hurt him? Or do you want to say that you are ashamed that the chief wizard of the Wizengamot is about to have a murderer brother? Yes, we were indeed your burden, Ariana and I, but You got rid of us completely 100 years ago, you can do whatever you want, Minister of Magic or whatever..."

Grindelwald's face twisted when Aberforth yelled, and he wanted to refute Aberforth's words, but.

"I stop you because I'm afraid it's not the truth." Dumbledore said calmly to Aberforth, then turned to Grindelwald: "This is worse than the answer you gave me in the past—Guy Lett, you are not good at lying at all."

"This is really a novel statement, how come I have never heard that I am an honest person?" Grindelwald tried to show a smile just now, "It is I who should be hated, not you--good sir, no Thinking. Look, that stupid little boy never understood you, he even thought you were relieved from that tragedy, and still hated you to this day, it never occurred to him that he hated the wrong person. Guilty people carry their loved ones The hatred of you, and the damned murderer is just an accomplice... You have too many things to carry..."

Aberforth, known as the stupid little boy, looked at Albus, and he heard an indescribable maintenance tone from Grindelwald's tone. He hated Grindelwald's tone, just like when he His brother is so close to Grindelwald, the feeling when he and Ariana are left behind is very similar... But Albus didn't explain anything, just like Albus didn't explain anything. As much as he punches, his brother is good at silence and keeping secrets.

"Gellert, is this your way of repenting? Tell us your so-called truth, and then die peacefully, and let my only relative now hurt his soul for revenge?"

Grindelwald had never heard someone say such sharp words with such a calm look and tone, he gasped and said softly, "No... I just want to help you, Albus, you shouldn't Keep torturing yourself, it's not your fault, it's mine..." He turned his head and yelled at Aberforth, "I'm the one you should hate, remember, I used the Cruciatus Curse on you, Aberforth Si tried desperately to stop me from hurting you, he never wanted to hurt you or Ariana, he loves you..."

"A guy who ruined everything, now come out and tell me what my brother is thinking?" Aberforth yelled sullenly, as if shocked, as if angry, "What qualifications do you have to say that ?!"

For a moment, Grindelwald thought Aberforth was about to cast a spell on him.But in the next second, Aberforth actually Apparated.Dumbledore and Grindelwald are the only two left in the cemetery.

"...I'm sorry, Albus." Grindelwald was silent for a while before he said, "But that's not all a lie, I think I'm the most likely to kill her, only I can use powerful black magic... ..."

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, as if to show that he didn't mind what had just happened.But of course that was impossible, and he would never be able to get over Ariana's death.

He left silently along the road he had just walked in, and Grindelwald walked behind him as he had come.He knew that Grindelwald's intention in saying that may indeed be to let him be relieved, but the method was wrong. Aberforth's blame was justified. He had indeed treated his family members very selfishly...

A moment of absent-mindedness became a rare flaw for the old wizard. By the time Dumbledore realized that he had been hit by a curse, his movements were already half a beat behind. Then, the second curse hit his wrist .

"Except your weapons!"

The powerful Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand flew out of his long, bony fingers and landed in the attacker's hand.He turned his head and looked at Jody who suddenly attacked him from behind him, and actually smiled, "Oh, Jody. I thought I'd see Severus again."

"Voldemort specially summoned Severus today. He wants to know about your poisoning—since you've fallen ill, he probably trusts us a little bit more than before." Jody raised his wand hand slowly Putting it down, her expression was bitter and apologetic compared to Dumbledore's unsurprising smile: "I'm sorry, Albus. You know what I want..."

She tightened her right hand gripping the Elder Wand and repeated, "I'm sorry. It's for Harry, and for reasons you know..."

Dumbledore looked at Jody, then at Grindelwald who had just cast a slow spell on himself.The latter was subconsciously unwilling to look at Dumbledore, but the wand in his hand was pointed in Jody's direction as if naturally.Coincidentally, Jody's wand was also aimed at Grindelwald.

"Is this part of your agreement?" Dumbledore was completely relieved by their performance: "Maybe you are willing to come to my house and have a chat, and then we can talk, if you are still willing to listen to someone who lost their wand Say something to the old wizard, Jody."

"Of course I would." The goal had been achieved, and Jody simply put away the two wands in his hand.She never wanted to actually hurt Dumbledore, all she wanted was the Elder Wand - given that Dumbledore always seemed to hold back on James and Lily's resurrection. "In fact, a lot of things happened at once today, I think you must want to know."

"I'm honored that I can be invited again." Compared with Jody, Grindelwald, who had just expressed his repentance but immediately attacked Dumbledore, looked more complicated.His eyes fell on the house where he used to spend all day, and it looked much older than it used to.

"Since Voldemort summoned Severus without any scruples, he must have gained a certain degree of support, making him eager to know if I am still alive?" Just sitting down in the living room, Dumbledore couldn't help but keep asking.With empty hands, he now has very reasonable reasons not to act as a qualified host and immediately provide tea and refreshments.

"You should be 'sick' by now, Albus," said Grindelwald. "Any trouble is none of your business."

But Dumbledore insisted: "Jody, go on."

"You know, the Ministry of Magic has been claiming that you are talking nonsense, that Voldemort's return is purely your sick hallucinations and delusions. But today there was a mass escape from Azkaban, and all the prisoners escaped. Fudge must be very flustered now, I guess once this matter is reported by the "Daily Prophet", people will flood the office of the Minister of Magic with letters calling for him to step down." Jody glanced at Grindelwald, and still said today Dumbledore was told about the biggest event that happened. "This happened just this morning, and they even boldly chose to escape during the day. Because the dementors guarding the prison rebelled and went to Voldemort's side, just as you expected."

Dumbledore couldn't help sighing at the sudden turn of events, "Power has gone to Fudge's head, if he could be more sober..."

"It's Lucius Malfoy's credit, he's very proud of it." Jody twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, "He tricked the Ministry of Magic into driving dementor magic from that stupid Umbridge, who The woman is a Slytherin, and she is very powerful, she can't wait to have the support of the Malfoy family." She shrugged, "It's a pity that she became Lucius' experiment in the end."

"Don't forget what we talked about." Grindelwald frowned, glared at Jody, and then said to Dumbledore disapprovingly: "These young people should learn to solve their own problems. Now you don't have a wand Now, Albus, you should give up your penchant for taking responsibility on yourself all day long, and your plans to save the world as a saint, and maybe you should spend your time with Aberforth..."

"What I did was not because I thought I was a saint, Gellert." Dumbledore calmly took out of his pocket the wand he bought from Ollivander's wand shop when he was 11 years old, "but It’s because I think that each of us should take on the responsibilities that we are capable of, and I just… deserve a little more than everyone else.”

He gave Jody a really mischievous smile for a centenarian. "Whereas, I remember going out with two wands."

Dumbledore knew very well that the Slytherins were indeed respectable for their persistence and unafraid of sacrifice in the face of what they wanted to achieve, but they obviously never had the loyalty of the Hufflepuffs-you may never No one knows what kind of plan a Slytherin has in his heart.In fact, it's the same this time, Dumbledore didn't know that Jody would suddenly attack him today to snatch the Elder Wand, but for an old wizard who lived more than 100 years old, time has provided him with enough wisdom, He didn't even need to rely on any magic to speculate on certain possibilities.

"Jody, do you want that wand to revive Lily and James?" Dumbledore waved his wand, isolating Grindelwald from his conversation with Jody.

"That's what I really intend..." Jody lowered his eyes. "I told you, I want to resurrect them as soon as possible. I hope they can be a source of courage for Harry. Harry longs to be loved. They can be more powerful than me and West." Fleurs did more."

"But remember what I told you? You may have a choice."

"But you didn't say what kind of choice that was." Jody couldn't help but say.She kept many things hidden from everyone, including Snape, but she was the one who was often kept hidden from Dumbledore.This made her feel more at ease than usual about conspiring with Grindelwald to conceal something from Dumbledore.

"I'm sorry," Dumbledore's tone was full of apology: "I'm sorry that I concealed a lot of things. I don't want to tell you all the guesses because I'm worried that if that guess can't be realized, you will suffer even more."

"Just don't tell me you're planning to kill Harry to get rid of the last of Voldemort's soul."

"My speculation is that after Voldemort resurrected with Harry's blood, based on the protective magic I mentioned that Lily left in Harry's blood, if Voldemort killed Harry himself, then Harry may not really die. , what will be killed will only be the soul piece that Voldemort left in Harry."

Jody gasped nervously at the idea.

"As for the choice I spoke of..." Dumbledore stared into Jody's eyes, realizing that she seemed to have taken his hint. "If Lily came back to life, the protective magic would no longer exist, and Harry might actually die."
