[GGAD] Adherent

Godric's winter morning was filled with the fragrance of snow. In fact, snow has no smell at all. Probably because of his good mood, Albus felt that the valley in front of him was even stained with color.

This was the first time he felt this way after he moved here from Wotuyuan.

All things are coming to a head.

Albus had seen Grindelwald's owl hovering over the roof of his house early in the morning, and he opened the door, and the gray owl landed firmly on his shoulder.The owl didn't follow his master's temper, it gently rubbed its beak against Albus' cheek, and Albus raised his hand and curled it to smooth its feathers.

The owl spread its wings contentedly and flew high. Albus opened the envelope and only saw a simple line: I will be away for a week, and I wish you a happy new year in advance.

As for the reason for leaving, Grindelwald did not explain clearly in the letter.Of course, Albuquerque has already decided without even thinking about it, Grindelwald can't stop his pursuit of ideals.Earth-shaking changes will take place in this era, and in the near future, but Albus doesn't want to think about things going badly. From the bottom of his heart, he still wants to believe that Grindelwald can still be taught in essence, In the past, he only used the wrong method to become the Dark Lord feared by thousands of people.

This world needs people to guide its development in the right way.

And now they're waiting for this one, Albus thought.

Whether it's Anna, Aberforth, or Albus, the three of them are all in Hogwarts' Christmas vacation. They don't have to go to school, and they can only stay in this small room in the middle of the valley.The weather was too cold, so cold that Aberforth didn't want to go out to walk his goats, including Ariana. They all wanted to sit around the fireplace in the living room and rub their hands on the ground to keep warm.

Albus came in from outside the house with his hair covered in snow, he and his younger brother and sister inside the house met eyes, and smiled a little embarrassedly for some reason.

Aberforth was a little puzzled, and after Albus left, he leaned into Anna's ear and asked softly, "Is Albus falling in love?"

Anna was taken aback, and replied with floating eyes: "You should ask him about this kind of thing, how would I know?"

"I asked him," said Aberforth. "He denied it, said he didn't have a girlfriend, but I always felt like he was lying to me. Look at the way he looks like he's getting married. I believe it."

Facts have proved that Aberforth's self-awareness is indeed accurate, Arianna scratched her head in embarrassment, and took a long time to say: "...Really."

That was the end of the conversation about Albus, and Aberforth never came to a conclusion.Neither of them had any idea what Albus was up to upstairs, until finally they saw Albus take off his coat and come downstairs again with only a single wand in his hand.

He walked to the fireplace and looked down at Aberforth and Anna.

"What do you want Albus?" asked Aberforth. "You're keeping us warm."

"Hogwarts will start in two weeks."

"so what?"

Albus asked back, "Don't you think you missed too many classes?"

As soon as this remark came out, the two of them immediately understood that it was Aberforth who wanted to make a fuss for the two of them. Although he was a little reluctant, what Albus said was really reasonable. Obeyed Albus's wishes.

Aberforth's strength is actually not weak. Albus recalled the younger brother who had quarreled with him in the past, and his eyes couldn't help being tinged with pride. At that time, Aberforth did not accept Huo Gwartz's education, all his acquired skills rely on himself.But now that the younger brother in front of him can only say a few curses of three-legged cats, Albus thought to himself, it is time to give him some incentives, after all, Aberforth has neither learned anything from school nor taught himself power.

He raised his wand and pointed it at Aberforth's head, and while chanting the spell, the wand in Aberforth's hand suddenly tilted half a point.In an instant, the blanket that was still laid on the sofa just now has turned into a brisk bird, flapping its wings and flying around the room.

"You scared the hell out of me," Aberforth grumbled.

Anna asked, "Did Albus teach Transfiguration at school?"

"I'm currently teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts," Albus replied, "but Transfiguration is actually what I do best."

Aberforth asked: "Why are you best at Transfiguration, but teach Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Ah Bu thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because Phineas can't hire other Defense Against the Dark Arts professors? In fact, my current salary is not high, and the Galleon I get for a month can barely support me." our life."

After finishing speaking, Albus smiled and continued to complain: "Should I apply for a salary increase for the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

Aberforth and Ariana slowly raised their wands, and Albus held their hands and corrected their postures one by one.

"When you cast a spell, you keep in mind what you want to change," said Albus, raising his wand again to begin the demonstration, "and point your wands at the object, with hand movements like so."

As soon as the words fell, the little bird fluttering in the air immediately turned into a ferret again. It climbed onto Aberforth's shoulders and wrapped his furry body around his neck.

"Hey." Aberforth smiled. "It's so warm."

There was another "whoosh", and the ferret on Aberforth's neck turned back into the blanket again, and Albus said, "It's your turn next."

Anna raised her hand following Albus's example, then looked at the vase in the corner, thinking about a white orchid in her head, just as she waved her wand, she heard a "bang", and the vase instantly became Torn apart.

Anna was fine, though, and before Albus noticed that Aberforth had aimed his wand at the kitchen boiler, he hadn't had time to say it, and the empty iron pan burst into flames instantly. .

"Clear water is like a spring!" In desperation, Albus hurried forward to let the tip of the wand spew out a steady stream of water. Fortunately, this was only a small accident, and the fire was quickly brought under control.

"You just cast the Fire Charm?" Albus asked.

Aberforth was a little embarrassed, so he had to say, "No, I just want to turn it into a fire extinguisher..."

"Thank goodness you didn't try to turn it into a dick."

In his previous life, he didn't realize that his younger brother and sister were so destructive. In desperation, Albus could only dig out two buttons from home and put them on the coffee table in the living room.

Anna and Aberforth were sitting side by side, after what happened just now, Albus only allowed them to cast spells on buttons, which were buttons after all, and no matter how wrong they were, it was impossible to ruin the whole house.

Albus practiced with them for a long time, but magic can't be learned overnight. For a whole afternoon, Anna could barely make the object into a three-dimensional image, and Aberforth could conjure a four-dimensional leg. Come.Albus asked him what kind of leg it was, and Aberforth replied that it was a pig's leg, which eventually led to another question from Albus: "Nonsense, a pig's leg has five toes?"

Aberforth shrugged and ended the subject with silence.Their Transfiguration still needs to be practiced for a long time, Albus thought, even geniuses need to work hard.

In the evening, Albus went to bed early and honestly enjoyed the holiday, he felt more relaxed than ever, physically and mentally.Albus stretched out on the bed, thinking that he would continue to teach Anna and Aberforth the transfiguration tomorrow, and he felt that life was full of motivation.

He loves his educational career.

In the past, when he was young, he still had some unrealistic ambitions, thinking that capable people must make a difference, but after a century later, he began to yearn for that ordinary life more and more.

Ordinary people are ordinary, but they have supreme happiness, just like owning that little lemon-flavored Xuebao, with which, sometimes they can maintain a good mood all day long.

Albus would also think that if Grindelwald invited himself to participate in that "great ambition" again, he would absolutely refuse the other party.But in fact, Grindelwald did not do this, and the other party seemed to have learned to consider his own ideas, and no longer acted so willfully.

Albus opened the bedside table and took out the letter that was mailed in the morning. He stared at the words on the paper for a long time. After reading for a long time, the familiarity came to his heart.

He still remembered the time when Grindelwald held his hand and wrote his name on a piece of paper. Albus looked at it and pronounced it unconsciously, only to be elicited from the other party: "Don't say Grindelwald."

"Isn't your name pronounced that way?"

"Grindevald."

Albus, who was immersed in memories, couldn't help but pronounce the name again, and he found that the font on the paper in his hand was exactly the same as when Grindelwald wrote his name.

In a daze, Albus felt that everything had changed, but nothing had changed. What changed was human nature, and what remained unchanged was the heart.

Another night of peaceful sleep, Albus fell asleep and dreamed of his former self, still at King's Cross Station, but this time the other protagonist was not Harry, but the same old Grindelwald .

He saw Grindelwald walking towards him step by step, and when the other party stopped in front of him, when he was about to speak, Albus was suddenly awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps at the door.

"Albus! Albus!" Anna yelled from the door.

"What's the matter?" Albus hurriedly got up and opened the door.

"The kitchen is on fire again!"

As soon as the words were finished, Albus picked up his wand and hurried downstairs. At the door of the kitchen, Aberforth was holding his wand, and at the top of the wand was a stream of clear water, facing the The fire that was going up could be said to be overwhelmed.

After finally extinguishing the fire, Albus looked at the clock, it was one o'clock in the morning, and it was pitch black outside.

"Are you still up this late?" Albus asked.

"We're practicing transfiguration." Anna confessed, "Aberforth felt that he had made some progress, so he thought about going to the kitchen and conjuring a fire extinguisher."

Immediately, Albus turned his attention to Aberforth again: "Why are you holding on to the fire extinguisher? I always thought you were trying to become a goat."

While talking, Albus walked towards the living room, he admitted that Aberforth's transfiguration had indeed improved a lot, and the two buttons on the table disappeared, replaced by a seven-pointed flower flowers and a dissimilar...doll?

Isn't it still a leg in the afternoon?Could it be a human leg?

"What have you become?" Albus carefully observed the thing that could not be called a doll, it could only be distinguished a pair of eyes, a mouth, two arms and two legs.

Oh, and blonde hair.

Aberforth said proudly, "Like that Durmstrang boy?"
