"You shouldn't hurt Hogwarts students." Dumbledore's deep eyes seemed to be dancing with flames.

He didn't say something like "war should let the children go away" with great righteousness.Although Grindelwald used Cook, Pince and Malcolm, he himself let Tom take risks.Neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald are nanny-type elders.

To Dumbledore's anger, the other party reached into Hogwarts, into his protection.

"Hurt? Haha." Grindelwald laughed, showing eight white teeth, "Tell me, Mr. Cook, did I hurt you?"

Finn was barely standing by the wall of water to compress his sense of existence when he was suddenly called, with a look of confusion and panic on his face.Fortunately, Grindelwald didn't need his answer either.

"Albus, I just, just help them realize their wishes. Mr. Cook wants to get rid of the bullying of pure-bloods, so I give him strength; Miss Pince wants to get top grades, so I give her knowledge; Mr. Ge dreamed of being loved by everyone, so I made him an authority on campus gossip." He spread his hands, "Although in exchange they did a little favor for Rainey, but this is the result of their own choice, isn't it?"

"You are feeding the dark side of their hearts, encouraging them to benefit themselves at the expense of others."

Finn, who had been sullen all this time, was touched, and he looked at Dumbledore in some panic.Did he benefit himself at the expense of others?Yes, of course it is.But what can he do?Even if he wanted to protect himself and his family, he might not be able to do so.

"I don't deny this, but these lovely children gave me a chance. Albus, you and I both know that not everyone is pure and innocent when they are young. Jealousy, inferiority, bullying, anger, greed... ...Facing the darkness in their hearts is an important lesson on their growth path, as important as your favorite 'love'."

Dumbledore glanced at Finn, who was approaching Grindelwald, and sighed invisibly.Debating three views with the Dark Lord is a thankless task even for the Hogwarts vice-principal.

"What about Miss Carter? She has no business with you."

Grindelwald choked, and he no longer spoke confidently: "She, she is really special."

"Gellert." Dumbledore stared at him sharply, as if cutting him open, "You only make sense when your interests are not infringed."

A silence.

The moonlight fell evenly on the blond and red-haired wizards.They are at their prime.Decades later, the former genius boys have become more mature, stronger, and sharper than before.

Grindelwald laughed suddenly. "For the greater good," he muttered softly.

Dumbledore's face paled suddenly.

Grindelwald also shut up.There is a scar that has penetrated decades of time, and none of them is willing to uncover it.The atmosphere suddenly became weird.

Tom's eyes flicked back and forth between the faces of his professor and the Dark Lord.With his ability to observe words and expressions, he naturally discovered the weird aura between these two people.His heart was like a cat scratching. According to the plan, Dumbledore should have found Wendy following the traces of the mirror image magic.But Dumbledore's current state made him a little uncertain.

"Okay, Albus. Are we really going to discuss the children's education in the lake?" Grindelwald said with disinterest. "I don't like to beat around the bush. Since you have prepared, we are in London The small stronghold of the company should not be able to be kept."

Dumbledore's face was as cold as a sculpture: "101 Diagon Alley, and 75 Victoria Avenue, were surrounded by Aurors just now."

"Then I can only break through from your side." Grindelwald responded quickly, "Do I have reason to believe that the Deathly Hallows is in your hands?" Although he was speaking to Dumbledore, he Never let Tom out of his sight.

The vice-principal sighed softly, and took out a simple and thick black ring from the inner pocket of the wizard robe, shaking it in the moonlight, so that the other side could clearly see Peverell's coat of arms on it. "With me, you can let Mr. Riddle go. However, it seems that you need to consider how to leave safely now."

Across the vast lake, nearly twenty wizards on broomsticks flew from the direction of the train station.It's an Auror.As they approached the target location, they began to spread out silently, and the formation showed a tendency to surround.

"This is the most efficient time for the Ministry of Magic." Grindelwald said, "But it's not enough. The victory or defeat is still a five or five."

Dumbledore raised his wand.The protective magic of Hogwarts began to flicker brightly, and the power to restrict space transfer became stronger and stronger. "Gellert, you are not a person who is good at leaving a way out."

"I'm not. But Rainey is."

With a "whoosh", a broken mirror appeared behind Grindelwald.This mirror has no frame, and the edges are broken into irregular shapes, but its strength is exceptionally strong.In just an instant, the three high-ranking saints and a third-year Slytherin student disappeared in plain sight, just before the first attack magic arrived.Then, the mirror that lost its owner disappeared under the pressure of Hogwarts magic.

That is no longer a mirror with entities, but a piece of magical power with mirror attributes.

Dumbledore felt in his pocket, but it was empty.The ring was captured.

"Professor!" Tom turned around among the Aurors, and then ran towards Dumbledore, his face full of panic, "They said they didn't find Wendy."

3:[-] AM.

At 75 Victoria Avenue, Cook's mansion, every room was brightly lit, and the search by the Aurors made everything look chaotic.

Nott and Alphard stood in front of Tom with apologetic faces.

"I swear, we got there first, before the Aurors. We searched every room," Knott said.

Alphard seemed a little more calm and rational: "According to the maid's confession, at least at 0 o'clock last night, there was indeed a strange blonde girl who fit the description in this room. And we came in at around 45:[-] in the morning, that By then, the Cooks and Wendy had disappeared."

"I don't want to hear it!" Tom suddenly roared like a beast, and he flew up and kicked the small coffee table on the edge.The whole rose white porcelain tea set on the coffee table was smashed to the floor, and the desk lamp was pulled by the wire and rolled on the floor several times.

The loud noise attracted the attention of adults.Dumbledore stepped over and put his palm on Tom's trembling shoulder.

Tom knelt on the floor half-dejected. Long-term good upbringing allowed him to control his words and deeds and stop doing radical things. "Sorry, Alphard, I don't blame you."

Alphard was silent for a moment: "I know." I know you are blaming yourself.

"Go for a walk, kid." Dumbledore let go of his hand on Tom's shoulder, and patted him on the back instead, "Go get some air."

Tom hung his head and didn't move.

In the end it was Dumbledore who took him out.

The streets of London's affluent districts are neat and refined, and street lamps evenly illuminate the stone-paved sidewalks.

"Why don't you attack Grindelwald directly?" Tom asked suddenly, "If you attack him..."

"If I attack him, I will die forever."

"Huh? Aren't you guys hostile? You fought against the Saints in the Wizengamot and prevented them from entering the British Ministry of Magic. Everyone thought you and Grindelwald were at odds..."

Dumbledore suddenly smiled bitterly: "You're right, I should have attacked him. I didn't, probably because I wasn't brave enough."

Now Tom has nothing to say.

They walked in silence until they turned a corner and saw the Gothic portico of Westminster Abbey.It all happened so mundanely, so suddenly, that it wasn't until a few seconds later that two of the most brilliant minds, Riddle and Dumbledore, realized what was going on.Abraxas Malfoy stood dazed behind a colonnade, an unconscious girl lying at his feet.Scattered blond hair was spread out on the ground, and it was thrillingly beautiful under the street lamp light.

Tom pulled out his wand, aiming at Malfoy was a "total petrification".Dumbledore only had time to stop him from making up a "shattered bones".Tom didn't care about Malfoy who was petrified and fell to the ground. He hugged Wendy, shook his body, and slapped his face.

"Wendy! Wendy!"
