After being separated from Hermione, Felix returned to the office, turned his head and appeared in classroom number seven again.

The space of classroom No. 7 seems to have expanded again. Thinking and reality meet here. Maybe a few steps away from normal will become a street and a beautiful garden in this place... Felix deviates from what students usually use in class. The path passed through the layers of fog, and a simple and small village emerged in front of me.

Felix stood in front of an ordinary little house and knocked on the door.

It was Grindelwald's memory that opened the door. To Felix's surprise, what he saw in front of him was not the image of a young man, but the face of Grindelwald when he was old, but it looked a little different.

"I know you're coming, so I see you with this face. I've been waiting for you." The old man grinned. He was wearing a purple dressing gown, his expression was calm and calm, and he could not see the slightest hostility.

The two sat opposite each other. "You have something to say to me?" Felix asked, then gave the old man another curious look. "Are you whole now? I mean, your memory—"

"Of course, of course," Grindelwald said. "I'm more whole than ever at the moment I'm talking to you. You know what? After a while, I'm actually not very happy here."

"why?"

"One reason: it's so boring. There are only two memories in the entire space that have the characteristics of life, which is equivalent to half a living person," Grindelwald said. This surprised Felix, because although memories seem to be alive, they are very different from real people in the way they exist, such as the perception of time.

"Your performance also surprised me. It looks like an ordinary person." Felix looked at Grindelwald's memory with exploratory eyes and said. The other party smiled and said nothing.

"Apart from the first reason? You said you were waiting for me, so it has something to do with me?"

Grindelwald nodded slightly, then shook his head slowly.

"I really thought so at the beginning. After the funeral, I decided to leave the necessary information, and both sides were open and honest, but you never came... Later, those ghosts told me what you did during this time, and I felt no need to say it. Now, you fully understand what I mean."

"Then today-"

"It's a goodbye. Or, do you want to hear me tell a story? You know, I've seen them, but they don't remember me, it's a weird feeling, it's like going back in time and starting over, but only I remember what really happened. My memory became a burden."

"You mean Dumbledore, or his sister Ariana and nephew Credence?"

"Aurelius," said Grindelwald slowly, "I prefer to call him that. That boy has helped me a lot."

Felix made an air of listening intently.

"Aurelius Dumbledore," said Grindelwald, "I remember vividly . My team. You can't imagine how much I value him."

"Because of his background?" Felix asked.

Credence is Dumbledore's nephew, but for a long time Dumbledore and Aberforth didn't know his existence. It can be said that this was a huge secret at the time, and Grindelwald knew absolutely It took a lot of work.

"Not only this reason, he is also a silent person, a silent person who has lived to adulthood. His potential is unimaginable. When he has never received a systematic magical education, he has surpassed 99% of the wizards by instinct alone - I It was originally intended for him to inherit my career."

Felix was surprised by this statement, he looked at Grindelwald, there was no need for Grindelwald to lie, Felix sorted out a lot of scattered threads along this line of thought.

Grindelwald's biggest obstacle at the time was Dumbledore. Even if there was a blood alliance between the two, as long as Grindelwald didn't give up his dream of ruling wizards and Muggles, they would definitely go against each other, and the whole world would force them to do so. Do.

In the end, it turned out that even the most unbreakable blood alliance was broken.

"I will not wait for Dumbledore to come to the door, but take the lead. My plan is to cultivate wizards who can compete with Dumbledore." Grindelwald said slowly.

"Cultivate an archmage? This idea is too bold." Felix slowed his breathing. He put himself in Grindelwald's position at the time, and he felt that this plan was extremely difficult.

"It's kind of whimsical, but I've finally figured out a way—maybe even the only way to do it, Silencer."

Felix was stunned. Grindelwald knew that the silent one could live to be ten years old, and the proof was Dumbledore's sister Ariana, maybe his idea at first was to find a young silent one, take good care of him, and help him overcome his dark magic - Silently, but unexpectedly unexpectedly harvested the Dumbledore family's exiled child, Credence.

"A child who rivals the Archmage in potential and restrains Dumbledore emotionally, fits my requirements perfectly." Grindelwald's memory said slowly, as if he was sitting in front of Felix and talking to him calmly. Talking about past plans and chatting about unknown secrets.

"That rally also allowed me to catch the Ministry of Magic's flaws, an Auror killing ordinary people who came to hear my speech, which gave me the perfect excuse. It wasn't me seeking violence, and since then, The Saints are in full confrontation with the existing order at the Ministry of Magic."

"My power is expanding rapidly. Aurelius and a woman who can read minds have played a huge role in this. The former accepts my teaching and appears all over the world, defeating the Aurors of various countries; The person—I remember her name was Queenie, and she used her innate talent to see through a large number of eyeliners that were placed in, and her ability was silent and could be maintained forever."

"Everything is going in the right direction," said Grindelwald calmly. But Felix knew it was about to turn a corner, and sure enough—

"I have been hiding the secret of Aurelius' life experience, using it as a trump card, ready to use it at critical moments. But there have been several accidents one after another. On the one hand, the phoenix beside him appeared on the battlefield with him and became Famous. A phoenix—" Grindelwald made a "tsk", "There is a legend in the Dumbledore family that when members are desperately needed, the phoenix will appear. It may be this reason that attracted Dumbledore doubts; I had to reduce his outings."

"The good times didn't last long. His body was out of order, and his abilities became extremely unstable. I thought of some ways, but I could only watch his body collapse. Maybe this is the fate of the silent... I'm very disappointed in this. , I believe he realized this himself, he offered to assassinate Dumbledore, but I refused, he is no match for Dumbledore at all. Later... Later, his little girlfriend came over, she was a **** Cursed Orc, when the two met again, the problem with her was also serious, and she was like a snake most of the day. They stayed together all day, until one day, Aurelius disappeared for a while, Come back empty-handed..."

"That woman's name is Nagini?" Felix asked.

"You know her too?"

"I know, I even saw her once, but in the form of a snake. I think Aurelius set him free."

"Release?" Grindelwald repeated in a low voice. "I thought she was dead."

"Remember the mind-reading woman I mentioned? She had the same problem - oh, not her sister who was desperate to bring her back, but something else - she had a Muggle... lover, hope The two stood together openly, but after so long with no hope in sight, her stance began to falter. I sensed her slack, especially in the most important task of assessing Aurelius' mental state There was something hidden about it. When I realized it, I knew the original plan was not suitable and I had to move faster."

"I decided to run for president of the International Confederation of Wizards that year. In fact, no matter what the outcome was, I was ready to wage war against Muggles, but there were still many people who opposed me at that point, and I hoped they would join my camp."

"I found clues about the unicorn, and its unique magic could increase the odds of my campaign, so I sent several teams to find it, and Aurelius brought it back. I made the newly born unicorn into The puppet, and saw a part of the future with its blood... saw Dumbledore, after I warned him. At that time I had a hunch, even though I gave him the blood alliance token for several years, he didn't find a way to crack it , but I do have a bad feeling about it."

"It turned out as I expected. I was elected president of the International Confederation of Wizards with my dead unicorn, but the trick was dismantled and Newt Scamander brought another unicorn, and they were twins. It was all Dumbledore's hand, but he didn't know what he was doing, it wasn't me trying to create a division, he was creating a division. At that moment I finally made up my mind, I pulled out my wand, and Aurelius stood in the way Front…"

Grindelwald's eyes became blurred.

"Everything reappeared as yesterday, I, Dumbledore, and his brother, three of them shot at the same time, next to a silent one who was unable to resist, but the result was completely different, Aberforth was irrelevant, I and I Dumbledore's spells were linked together, and the chains around his hands finally broke."

"I had a brief fight with Dumbledore. It was the first time we fought in more than 30 years. When my hand touched his heart, I could feel his heartbeat, but I could no longer feel his heart. The idea of ​​​​this means that the blood alliance oath is completely lifted."

"The plan had to be aborted, and the war on Muggles was temporarily out of the question. Dumbledore stood in the front, although that was the closest I came to success."

"So the blood alliance was broken because—" Felix asked.

"I don't know, it was an accident."

"It's not always because of love, is it?"

"Oh, maybe. The blood alliance is guided by blood, but it needs a strong emotion to solidify the magic. We have been bound by this emotion for decades, and we can't loosen it by any means. The only thing that makes sense, It may be that Dumbledore transcended individual emotional limitations with a stronger love."

Grindelwald's memory stood up and walked to the door.

"Why tell me this?" Felix asked suddenly.

"Maybe it's because, after today, these will become permanent secrets."

From Grindelwald's memory, silver dots of light began to radiate outward, and then his face changed little by little, becoming younger, his back was upright again, his hair was dyed brilliant gold, and when he opened his eyes When the eyes are open, the pupils are clear blue.

As he said at the beginning, the memory of the past has become a burden, and if you want to start over, you must let go of unnecessary things.



When the students went downstairs the next day, they found that the courtyard was filled with a white and cold mist. As the three of Harry passed the bulletin board in the hall, they saw a group of people pointing at the bottom, and judging from the expressions on their faces, the sign was a good thing.

"Let's go and see," said Ron.

"No need," said Harry. "I know what it says, and if nothing else, it should say the schedule for the first Hogsmeade weekend."

Ron whistled softly.

"That's great. I heard that Hogsmeade has opened a few new stores. I must check it out," he said. "But how did you know?"

"I think," Harry smiled, "maybe because I put it on with my own hands."

"Ron," said Hermione kindly, "if you look closely, you'll find that the handwriting on the notice is very similar to the paper you usually use for 'reference'."

Knowing in advance, Harry was still looking forward to the short trip in three days, and he simply wanted to get out and let the wind out and clear his mind, even if it was just a drink with Ginny at Three Broomsticks and two or three happy hours.

"Hey, Harry," said Hermione, "you can take this opportunity to ask Mr. Dorje to meet. Didn't you say you wanted to talk to him face-to-face?"

Harry stared, and after a while he mumbled, "I'll write to him."

"Why don't you get a sound transmission mirror?" Ron asked in confusion.

"Mr. Dorge is not used to it," said Harry. "He thinks writing a letter will help him clear his mind."

At this moment, Neville walked towards them, his face flushed red, and his body seemed to be wider than usual, whether it was because of the cold or too much clothing. They went to the auditorium for dinner together.

Around the same time, Felix showed up at the Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and the president of the Magical Congress of the United States, Horace Greensteen, showed up not long after. When they parted, the expressions on the other two's faces were particularly solemn.

"I will let the Aurors let go of everything at hand," Horace Greensteen said in a deep voice. "The investigation will be carried out in secret and will not affect the next Federation General Assembly. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

The headmaster of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry also said: "If young wizards do fall into official hands, the most cost-effective way is not to imprison them or do various experiments, but to let them grow up - whether it is to crack magic It's better to keep the secrets of shamans, or to cultivate a shaman power of their own, than to simply imprison them. What's more, they can also use their shaman identity to spy on all kinds of information..."

They talked for a while, and then Felix appeared at the headquarters of the International Confederation of Wizards, waiting for the meeting to be held in the afternoon. He had vague thoughts in his mind, and Grindelwald's words made him realize that he was also in fact creating a division in the wizarding whole, although this trend is not obvious at the moment, and it seems necessary - Grindelwald's identity does make some The problem is simpler - but there is no doubt that these two forces must eventually reunite.

"Need a suitable opportunity..."

------off topic-----

Felix and Grindelwald definitely wanted to meet, but the meeting in reality didn't meet expectations, so they moved to classroom No. 7; in addition, out of resentment for the movie, I combined the plot of the third movie Modify and revise your own ideas and insert them into the book. I've always wanted to do this, but haven't found the opportunity before.
