Fall in love with youkanshu.com, a certain Hogwarts Rune professor

Felix knew Grindelwald when he was in school, and the introduction on the Chocolate Frog card said.

"Defeat the dark wizard Grindelwald in 1945."

But then Grindelwald was just one of Dumbledore's most well-known contributions, a footnote to his legendary experience. Anyone who has seen that chocolate frog picture will only be in awe of Dumbledore, and will not give a little attention to the loser "Dark Wizard Grindelwald". Of course, his terrifying reputation may be passed on by word of mouth among children, and let their imaginations run wild when discussing questions like "how bad is this guy."

Felix has every reason to doubt: during the growth of many young wizards, some were forced to play the role of "Dark Wizard Grindelwald" in the duel game, and finally fell at the feet of the righteous side.

The moment when Felix really became curious about Grindelwald was after hearing what Newt said:

"I can't reveal more - it involves Headmaster Dumbledore... Grindelwald is very proud, or self-confident... also very appealing, although I don't like this very much, and it caused a lot of trouble at the time..."

Obviously, the short line of description on the Chocolate Frog picture is actually brilliant and even thrilling in reality.

And Newt's reticence proves this.

Later, Voldemort secretly arrested a group of wand makers and magic history experts, including Gregorovitch and the owner of the Diagon Alley ice cream shop Florin Foske. With the information provided by these people, Voldemort forcibly fabricated it With the talk of ten powerful wands, the legend of the "Elder Wand" spread, and was dubbed the invincible wand that would never lose, and the current holder was detained on Felix's head.

Later indications suggested that perhaps Voldemort had since abandoned the pursuit of the Elder Wand and instead investigated the whereabouts of the Serpentwood Staff, handed down from his ancestor Salazar Slytherin. The ten powerful wands were just a means used by Voldemort to contain Felix, to find something for him while confirming the authenticity of the "elder wand" in Felix's hand. Moreover, it may be that in Voldemort's plan, the **** inheritance rules of the Elder Wand will more or less affect the tacit understanding between Felix and Dumbledore.

But coincidentally, the real owner of the Elder Wand is Dumbledore, and the abacus is in vain. .

From this, Felix also guessed that before Dumbledore, the owner of the Elder Wand was Grindelwald.

After that, Voldemort fell cleanly, and the speed was so fast that many people were stunned, and they did not react at all. Felix also hooked up with Grindelwald. To be precise, Grindelwald took the initiative to find Felix. The two became pen pals.

Felix smacking his lips, this is also a novel experience for him, he hasn't tried to write letters to people in prison. Considering that Grindelwald once wrote back letter by letter while holding a dim yellow oil lamp, and he didn't even have a decent desk, he missed that time all the more.

Unfortunately, not long after, Felix learned from Dumbledore that Grindelwald was suspected of escaping from prison. For the first time, Dumbledore confessed his close friend relationship with Grindelwald and expressed his fear of another person's thoughts.

But in the blink of an eye, Dumbledore changed his attitude, leaving Grindelwald, who had shown up, to stay at Hogwarts as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.

There are multiple reasons.

There are some reasons that Dumbledore voluntarily told Felix, such as Grindelwald's poor physical condition and a near-permanent decline in strength; Felix partially understood and accepted this statement. In his view, Voldemort's downfall was a huge blow to Dumbledore. has a small impact.

Felix roughly reduces psychological changes to:

After solving a long-standing heart problem, Dumbledore must have been filled with emotion and brought back long-lasting memories. At this time, when the former friend and enemy met each other after half a century, it was inevitable that his heart would soften for a while.

Although this soft-heartedness was limited, Dumbledore promised that Grindelwald would only teach at the school for one year, after which he would return to Fort Nurmengard to continue serving his sentence.

Then Dumbledore's purpose...

Felix pondered for a moment and had a vague idea. He decided to talk to Severus and Madam Pomfrey shortly.

"...I didn't even realize that the old man's health was getting better and better, and even the quarrel sounded full of anger..."

He suspected that Dumbledore was secretly opening a small stove.

In addition to the reason why Dumbledore took the initiative to tell Felix, he also heard half of the words from the portrait in the headmaster's office, and also involved a prophecy...

Here Felix would like to thank Phineas Black.

As for the content of the prophecy—for more than half a year, Felix gradually felt a pattern. He really didn't know the specific content of the prophecy, but Dumbledore knew it, and judging from Dumbledore's tolerance for the content of Grindelwald's teaching, he could roughly outline the shape of the prophecy.

It should have something to do with secrecy laws.

Felix frowned slightly and recalled, what does this mean? Exposure of the wizarding world is inevitable? But he and Dumbledore have a similar consensus, unless Grindelwald can come up with more direct evidence, such as the exact timing of events.

Felix was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be right. He had previously speculated that the prophecy might be something to be interpreted, such as tea leaves, a crystal ball, an astrology, or a fragment of the future. Thoughts kept rolling... He thought of the New Year's parade shown to the students in the first class of Grindelwald.

parade.

So there will be a huge anti-wizard march in the future?

Felix wrote it down. He was not in a hurry. Dumbledore's sense of responsibility was much stronger than his. When the time was right, the prophecy would automatically appear in front of him, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Felix felt that Dumbledore could do such a thing, and the headmaster was very good at keeping secrets.

As for Grindelwald, the professors generally have a good impression of him. He is very capable, knowledgeable, and polite. Even Professor McGonagall, who is quite critical of some of his dangerous remarks, has gradually accepted this somewhat alternative. colleague. The Charms professor even referred to him as a confidant. "Professor Bagshot is amazing at the subtlety of spells," said the short Flitwick more than once.

Well, one exception, Felix thought. Professor Slughorn was as sharp as ever and rarely dealt with Grindelwald alone.

Felix was very curious, did he see something.

But this possibility is actually very low.

Because Grindelwald was imprisoned for half a century, his appearance has long since changed. Even McGonagall, Flitwick and other old teachers didn't recognize it, and the fact that Grindelwald left Fort Nurmengard was not made public, so even if Severus had some doubts about his identity, But I didn't think about it at all.

In the eyes of those who know his true identity, all of Grindelwald's actions have not touched the bottom line. If he had contacted or responded to the Saints, it is believed that Dumbledore would have sent Grindelwald back without hesitation.

Thinking of Dumbledore's precautionary attitude from the beginning, he now acquiesced in allowing Harry and Grindelwald to contact alone, and even followed him to learn magic, which undoubtedly represents an increase in trust.

Felix's side is also calm.

No matter what Grindelwald wants to do, whether it is to inherit his magic or his own ideas, he only has one year. If he really intends to confuse Harry, he will definitely find that Harry is more stubborn than he imagined.

Dumbledore didn't do nothing either, and weekly lessons were no secret. Harry's thoughts have almost been finalized in the past few years of tempering. What Grindelwald has to do is to reverse it, while Dumbledore is to guide him to think independently. The difficulty of the two things is completely different.

Gu Yan

Just like the blood alliance that Harry mentioned today, Felix was surprised not only by the question itself, but also by Dumbledore's courage to reveal his past. When Harry faced the choice, Grindelwald, who was hiding his identity, had no chance at all. Law prevails.

Perhaps this was also expected by Dumbledore, who hoped to complement another part of Harry's character. It's just that Felix is ​​not sure what it is.

……

Later that day, Felix came out of the school hospital, and he got the information he wanted.

His guess was right.

Grindelwald's magic power is almost completely imprisoned, no different from Squib. For decades, his body has been very bad, and Madam Pomfrey has been supplying him with mild nourishing potions.

Suddenly, an idea popped into Felix's mind: the blood alliance between Dumbledore and Grindelwald may have been destroyed - otherwise they would not be able to duel - but there may be another unknown magic between them contract.

And the proof is what Dumbledore said on the day he learned that Grindelwald had disappeared at Fort Nurmengard:

"...He has the prohibition of powerful spells on him. I can ensure that these restrictions still exist. It is difficult for him to use advanced magic... No matter what he wants to do, these conditions objectively set a threshold for him."

Why was Dumbledore so sure the spell wasn't broken? There was only one answer Felix could think of. Dumbledore was involved in the International Confederation of Wizards' plans to imprison Grindelwald after the duel.

The sky was getting dark, and Felix walked down the spiral staircase, all the way through the foyer.

To his slight surprise, there was already someone in the open space at the entrance of the castle. The two familiar silhouettes were bathed in the golden twilight sunlight. Felix narrowed his eyes, and the edges of their bodies seemed to reflect colorful rays of light.

Dumbledore's elderly, tolerant, understanding voice merged with the sight before him.

"...It's a long time, Miss Granger, you have the time to see the road ahead. I think - the process of harnessing magic and knowing yourself is the same thing, that is to follow your heart, where are the treasures, Where the heart is... don't forget, we are Gryffindor."

Hermione lowered her head and didn't speak for a while.

"Headmaster Dumbledore? Granger?" Felix said.

Hermione jerked her head up, gave him a quick glance, screamed, and jumped back a few steps.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I still have something to do, I'll go first." She ran away without looking back.

Felix looked stunned.

"What's up with her?"

"Miss Granger is a little confused about her future path. This is the prerogative of young people." Dumbledore said with a slight smile, "She trusts me very much and is willing to say something to me."

"Oh," Felix said, looking back at the silent hallway, "I thought she had set a goal early. Amelia had high expectations for her and showed her a lot of confidential information. ."

Dumbledore blinked, but said nothing. His azure blue eyes reflected the last rays of the sky, and his long silver beard seemed to glow. When the golden edge on the edge of the forbidden forest disappeared, the night was covered like a thick curtain, and the earth became dark, but soon, some lights appeared.

"Albus," Felix said, breaking the silence and considering his words, "I heard a word from Harry today, blood alliance..."

"Ah, I thought about it, he might indeed ask you for help." Dumbledore said calmly: "When I decided to say it, I no longer felt able to keep it a secret, and I agreed to let Harry draw wisdom from other people. .Like Miss Granger just asked me for advice."

"That's a blood alliance." Felix said softly.

The meaning is completely different. This at least shows that at a certain stage in Dumbledore and Grindelwald's lives, they were willing to let part of their fates in the other's control.

"Yeah, two smart and arrogant teenagers made a reckless oath when they were closest to each other." Dumbledore said, with a touch of relief in his tone, "We are smarter than the average person, much smarter, Therefore, we must be more arrogant, and firmly believe that we can accomplish what our predecessors could not accomplish... But I would say that being smart does not mean wisdom, nor does it mean that it can replace experience, and we are equally ignorant in some areas.”

He looked into the distance, when the twilight replaced the glow, and stars appeared in the thin sky.

"I've said before that Gellert's thoughts attracted me and inspired me, he said something I've been keeping deep inside but never dared to reveal, my dissatisfaction with the status quo. I was great, but forced to Trapped in a village where no one cares, I am gifted, but I cannot provide shelter for my relatives... Felix, my father's experience still affects me. Sometimes in the dead of night, I always ask myself in my heart: what if I saw it with my own eyes? When Ariana is bullied, what will I do?"

"Sometimes I hate my maturity. I keep telling myself that Muggles are as good and bad as wizards and that it is stupid and contemptible to dismiss a large group at will, but when my mother tragically passed away and Ariana became ill , I'm full of resentment, resentment..."

Dumbledore closed his eyes. After a long while, he reopened his eyes and said calmly and almost indifferently, as if he was telling another person's experience:

"At the time of my worst pain, Gellert showed up and we hit it off. He told me that the same thing happened not only to me, but also to many fellow wizards. We have power, but we have to suffer misfortune. What a ridiculous thing! He came up with the best of both worlds - at least that's what I thought at the time - to join forces and create a whole new order. From now on wizards don't have to hide, Ariana doesn't have to hide, what happened to us Tragedy on the family will never happen again."

"We pride ourselves on being smart and powerful, so we make bigger mistakes."

"I was ecstatic, completely immersed in it, think about it, it can not only solve the troubles of our family, but also liberate thousands of wizards, this plan is simply too much to my taste, I keep improving it day and night. , and finally deviate from the original intention, completely turned aside in the family that should be valued and the extremely brilliant career that only exists in fantasy... The final outcome you should have guessed~www.novelhall.com~My sister, Ariana ...became the first victim after being so cared for and cared for by my mother."

The sky was completely dark, and Dumbledore completely melted into the darkness.

"Albus—"

"Don't console me, Felix, I've got what I want." Dumbledore turned and walked slowly towards the castle, while whispering: "Maybe we are born with our own mission, and I Your mission is to correct the mistakes you have made. Felix, you have a mission too."

Felix stared at Dumbledore's back, and he heard a different taste.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide, the Thestral-like gray-white eyes shining in the dark night, Dumbledore's footsteps paused slightly, and then he continued to leave. Felix couldn't help but breathe lightly.

He had used these eyes to observe Voldemort. Voldemort's soul was shattered, and his body exuded an ominous black gas. He had also seen Dumbledore, and Dumbledore's soul glowed like white jade.

But now, everything is different.

The bright soft light radiated from Dumbledore's body, covering the earth like a moonlight. Felix seemed to see Dumbledore holding a little girl in his hand, but they disappeared in the hallway in a blink of an eye.

Felix stayed in place quietly, looking up at the sky, the stars reflected in his gray pupils.

He waited quietly, a ray of moonlight flashed from the window in the corridor on the eighth floor of the castle, and finally stopped at the tower of the headmaster's office. There is no moon tonight, but the moonlight shines all over Hogwarts Castle.
