【GGAD ABO】Nirvana

Albus stood up suddenly, then sat back down and adjusted the hem of his vest.

After a few seconds of silence, Gellert said, "Don't you want to say something?"

Say something, yes, have to say something.Albus felt that every muscle in his body was out of control, he could only put on a wooden face, "Congratulations—"

"Thank you." Gellert was much calmer. Perhaps he had been preparing this sentence for the past few months, so he spoke very fluently: "I am 25 years old, and it is not an early marriage in any era. It's a big deal, you know, he's a pedigreeist and wants me to get married as soon as I'm an adult and have a bunch of kids named Grindelwald - it doesn't matter if you marry or not, the kids matter. That's his theory .I disagree with his pure-blood supremacy, but it would be nice to have a child. I've never been a father—I've never betrayed the blood, and you know that better than anyone."

Albus smiled briefly, and stood up again, "I remembered...a student wanted to see me this afternoon, to talk...about his year paper." He grabbed his hat, "I'll go back first, I wish you ," like a stone stuck in his throat, his breath was messy, "I wish you, I wish you a happy wedding, Gellert."

"Wait," Gellert also stood up, grabbing a long, thin box out of the air, "Your Christmas present."

"No, no, thank you, but no." Albus refused, "that's enough for today—"

"Take it," Gellert forced the box to him, "I know, you are worried about me, afraid that I will go back to the old way. I have made too many wrong choices, you don't trust me, It's normal. This thing will give you peace of mind." He gestured for Albus to open the box, "With it, you won't have to worry about it in the future."

The so-called Christmas gift, Albus knew it the moment he touched the box—a familiar and powerful force that he had used for more than 50 years. "The Elder Wand," he took a staggering step, "you—"

"I paid for it this time," Gellert said. "Grigovich was obsessed with gambling, but apparently luck never favored him. He needed money to pay off his debts. I didn't touch a hair on him." , you can go to him to verify."

Albus nodded, gripping the box vigorously, "Okay."

"When I had the Elder Wand, I lost the duel. You were better than me, I admit. Now that you have the Elder Wand, I am sure to lose. If one day you find me ready to move again, you can kill me directly. Or Now," Gellert pointed to his head, "I won't resist." He waited quietly, "Don't you really want to try?"

But the red-haired young professor didn't move. He stood where he was, as if he had been cast with a spell.

"I wish you could say something, Albus," Gellert stared at the face he had mentally painted a thousand times, "can't you say something? I told you I was getting married, and you just Don't you have any concern at all?"

"I care about you," the spell loosened, and those blue eyes opened wide, their eyelashes trembling, "I'm just...surprised, and happy for you, Gellert, you finally... finally found a lover , as your friend..."

"Yeah, my friend. We're best friends, so I was the first to tell you." Gellert laughed eccentrically. "But, Albus, she's not my love, unfortunately." , because I don't love her. I've only met her once. Besides, she doesn't love me. We know the deal behind this marriage, but we decided to accept it. No harm, is it? I think you will persuade I am relieved that feelings can be cultivated, as time goes by, there will always be. I will take responsibility, treat my wife seriously, and strive to be a model husband and an excellent father praised by everyone. So," he paused, "we— —You and I—we won’t see each other except for business.” There seemed to be a tight string in the air, playing an ominous melody. "Do you really have nothing to say to me? Well," brushing away the blond hair in front of his eyes, Gellert's young and handsome face was filled with tiredness, calm but tired, "I've been waiting for a long time, Albus, I I want you to know my heart, my love for you—maybe I'm too naive to try to make up for the rift 100 years ago. I go back to Godric's Hollow every summer, and according to your idea, enter the government department, To be a mediocre official... I hoped that you would feel my heart, but failed. You are by my side, we chat, hang out, sit by the fire and read, and the exchange is small. You are very satisfied with my current state, yes huh? But I really can't stand it...why don't you just come and read my thoughts straight up? I'm in front of you, and I haven't used Occlumency, not even for a second, since I knew you were you! Thinking, I am open to you, but you avoid it. You fear me and hate me at the same time, and I know that better than anyone."

Albus moved his feet, trying to remember all the spells for leaving, but couldn't think of any.He watched Gellert approaching helplessly, and hugged him into his arms, "...you are always as rigid as a rock." Gellert smiled wryly, without letting go of the shackles, "Albus, I loved you. "They maintained an awkward hug, and I don't know how long it took, the clock was ticking, and the antiques Albus bought at the Muggle market were carved with dwarfs and cute animals.

"By the way," Gellert lowered his arms and wiped his nose, "this house, and that house-elf." He took out a sheet of paper and put it in Albus's coat pocket, "I'll take this set The house is bought, and from now on, you are the owner of this place. Ruanruan also belongs to you. Your student came to me and said that Ruanruan was on hunger strike. I think you will take her in. After all, you treat everyone with respect. Very good...you are a true saint, but I am not. As for the remaining sins on my body, it will wait for time to wash away."

He took three steps back and picked up his coat, "Aren't you really going to say something? Even say 'no'?"

Albus clutched the box containing the Elder Wand, his lips tightly shut.Talk, he drives himself, move, get out of here.But all efforts were in vain, he was motionless, neither made a sound nor moved a half step.

"I'm gone," Gellert said. "You will be happy...I prophesied when I saw you that year. You will marry the one you love and have children. You send him to work early in the morning, I hold swaddling baby in my arms, your firstborn." Finally, he gazed at her tenderly for a moment, then turned around resolutely and disappeared.
