Whiskey Chocolate

1926, winter.

Grindelwald felt angry for a long time. The last time he was so angry was when he received the package from Albus more than ten years ago, which meant that he was severing. The stupid Aurora in the United States killed Cresden and destroyed The only time he and Albus had a chance to end it, he wanted to destroy the world.

But soon he calmed down. The moment Cresden disappeared, the feathery ash in the air caught his attention. He recognized it as the Phoenix quill that had followed him quietly for decades in his jacket pocket.

He couldn't help but think of the legend many years ago, in the early summer, the red-haired boy softly whispered to him under the moonlight. This was a casual chat, even Grindelwald himself didn't think that it was still vivid in his memory after so many years.

The phoenix will appear when Dumbledore needs it.

It appears to be another Obscure from Dumbledore, which makes Grindelwald even more convinced that Cresden is the Obscure he predicted.

Grindelwald decided to do something to attract the attention of the Aurors, buy some time for the little Dumbledore to escape further, he knew that the annoying Newt Scamander had something to do with his identity Suspicious, he also took a few steps to turn his back on Newt to make things look more natural.He pretended to be angry at the group of stupid Aurors who killed Cresden, he questioned them, and planted a seed in their hearts, as long as one of these people wavered, he would become his believer Afterwards, the jailbreak contributed.

Grindelwald is caught!The whole of Europe is jubilant, and the ministries of magic in various countries are suffering from the influence of Grindelwald. It is like a plague that erodes people's minds and makes people become his believers. The Ministry of Magic does not know how much it has paid for it. , Now that the source of the plague that has swept across the country has finally been caught, almost everyone's face is full of joy.

Albus saw this news in the newspaper, his expression was calm, he didn't think Grindelwald would be caught so easily, he had a hunch that this would definitely not be the end, then he drank tea under Dorje's surprised eyes down.

"what happened?"

"Don't you think it's sweet? You put at least half a can of sugar in it." From just now, Dorje saw Albus keep putting sugar into the tea while reading the newspaper. He was still hesitant to remind his friend, Albus has already picked it up and drank it down!He doubted that most of the sugar was swallowed without dissolving at all.

"Your taste has really changed over the years. I remember that when you were studying, you didn't like sweet things at all."

Albus lowered his head and smiled without answering, refilled a cup of tea for himself, and poured a few spoonfuls of sugar into it.Decades of fruitless attempts to lift the mood of sweets have long since become a habit.

"Albus, now that man is in jail, stop living alone like this, you should try something new, how about going to a family event? We welcome you to our family every year for Christmas. "Doji insists that the culprit who caused Albus to live like a Puritan is Grindelwald. Now that Grindelwald has been arrested and imprisoned in the United States, all things are over, Abu It's time to return to the life of ordinary people.

Faced with Dorje's annual Christmas invitation, Albus finally plans to attend once this year.When he saw Dorje's cute little daughter acting like a baby to his parents, he couldn't help but think of Arianna, who should have grown up carefree like her, and Aberforth, who would have a love like Dorje. A family, a beautiful wife, a lot of children, but none of this was possible because of him.This is why he would rather stay in Hogwarts every year than agree to Dorje's Christmas party. Looking at the beautiful family, he will only be full of sentimentality.

Dorje looked at his happy home with rum, and suggested sincerely, "How about it? Family, not bad. How about trying to date someone? Maybe Aberforth will come back for the sake of his newborn nephew and niece .”

Very tempting offer, who could say no to a warm family?Not to mention there is still a chance to get Aberforth back.But Albus didn't want to ruin a woman's life. Since Grindelwald appeared in his life, he never thought that someone else would take that place. He has failed many people and can't add another one to the crime book.

1927, summer.

The plan to win over Queenie was decided by Grindelwald after he first learned that she was a natural dementor, not only because of the role of her ability, but also because her ability reminded him of Albus.

He deliberately didn't close his brain to let her see the sweetest summer in his heart. The best way to convince a woman who is crazy about love is a touching love story. In her eyes, they became comrades-in-arms.

After seeing Queenie off, Grindelwald saw Albus' long-lost face in the mirror as soon as he turned around. He knew that it was Albus and opened the Mirror of Erised again. He stared at Albus with a complex expression in the mirror. , tracing the person he was thinking of with his eyes, this time Grindelwald reached out and grabbed Albus's wrist on the mirror side and pulled him to his side.

Albus didn't struggle, he squeezed his hands openly, telling himself this was the last indulgence.

Wenda sent Queenie back to the room and happened to see the uninvited guest in the living room, and Albus was surprised by the sudden appearance of a beautiful French lady.

"Do I need a carriage for you?" Wenda thoughtfully suggested. As Grindelwald's right-hand man, she knew very well who was standing next to Grindelwald. It happened that she had heard something about the two from her father. Mr. Li's old past, it is obviously a good idea to go out and be alone instead of staying in a place where believers come and go frequently.

They walked silently by the Seine River, the sunlight shone on Grindelwald through the mottled shadows of the trees. It was very similar to the scene many years ago, but Albus could no longer find the throbbing in his heart at that time. Grindelwald took his joy, anger, sorrow and joy from him, and achieved his name as a saint, without sorrow or joy, without any desire and only doing the right thing.

"Fox died last winter." These were the first words they had said in so many years.

Albus raised his head and looked at Grindelwald in disbelief, "Why?"

"When it's old, it misses you very much until it dies. I showed him your picture before it closed its eyes. It walked peacefully." It was because of Fox's death that Grindelwald realized that as time went by The bond between him and Albus was only going to dwindle, so he wanted to end it before all the connections between Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore faded away.

Albus saw sadness in Grindelwald's eyes, this should not belong to Grindelwald's emotions, his Gale is the bright sun, all the gloom has nothing to do with it, he can't help but reach out his hand to caress Grindelwald's face comforted him, and Grindelwald on the opposite side even sent his face forward.

However, at this moment, a sudden rain fell from the heavens. The weather in summer is always so cloudy and cloudy. One second it was sunny and the next second it was raining heavily. The icy rain instantly drenched the two of them, and Albus woke up. He came over and retracted the hand that had touched Grindelwald's skin. Of course, Grindelwald would not allow such a thing to happen. He grabbed Albus's hand forcefully and covered his own hand, rubbing his cheek lightly against Albus's. Palm Grindelwald sighed contentedly, although it didn't feel very good mixed with rain, but he didn't care, it was good.

"Gellert, come on, let go," Albus said bitterly.

"Why? You still have feelings for me."

"Arianna is not the only thing between us, but also those who have died in vain because of our cruel dream!" Albus's morality and conscience told him that being with Grindelwald was a blasphemy against those people, and he And Grindelwald are sinners.

Grindelwald coldly put down Albus's hand and drew out his wand, pointing at Albus, "Cruel? That is our common great dream, and you call it cruel now?" It doesn't matter if anyone in this world accuses him, except Albus can't, they are allies and accomplices, and this dream is the biggest bond between them.

The heavy rain blurred Albus' vision, and he pointed his wand at the angry Grindelwald again. At this moment, he was so disheartened that he didn't even think about pulling out his wand. He closed his eyes silently and waited for Grindelwald. Give him a break.

But nothing happened, Albus slowly opened his eyes, there was no one around him, Grindelwald was missing, leaving only the rain to completely wet the place where he was standing just now.

Grindelwald took the tea from Wenda, looked at the heavy rain, and muttered to the hurried people, "I hate rain."
