Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

"Albus?"

Grindelwald stared at the shadow for a long time before confirming that it was really the person he thought about day and night.

But just as he was about to walk up, he found that Dumbledore's shadow had disappeared beside the tomb.

It was just his illusion, a dream bubble. Before he could get closer, he was pierced by the sharp reality.

At this moment, Grindelwald's longing for Dumbledore reached its peak.

How much he wanted to see Dumbledore in person again, how much he wanted to talk to him again, how much he wanted to tell Dumbledore that he and Cyrus would soon avenge him, eliminate the hidden threat Herbo, and let him You can sleep peacefully and don't have to worry about living things anymore.

He wanted to tell Dumbledore personally that he would go find him soon and they could go on an adventure together.

In fact, there is a portrait of Dumbledore in the principal's office. Dumbledore passed away very suddenly, but he usually had the habit of taking his memories out of his brain. Filling those memories into the portrait can also create a "Dumbledore". Bullido”.

However, Grindelwald knew clearly that it was not him at all. He had not even seen Dumbledore's portrait once in such a long time.

That's false, just a bunch of memory filler!

"But I know what is real." He slowly walked to the edge of the tomb, leaned against it and sat down again, and then tremblingly took out a black stone from his sleeve.

The Resurrection Stone again.

This ominous stone appears again in the story.

This is the one left by Dumbledore. That night, Herbo took away the Elder Wand after killing Dumbledore, but left the Resurrection Stone behind. So the Resurrection Stone fell into Grindelwald's hands.

He had endured it for so long, and until today, until Cyrus was about to cross time to completely eliminate Haierbo, he took out the Resurrection Stone. He thought he had nothing to worry about now.

He didn't know that the God of Death was actually behind Haierbo, because after he gave his power to Cyrus, he almost passed out. When Ginny passed the information to Cyrus, she also passed it directly to Cyrus through the diary. Passed through the mind.

"No one will disturb our night, Albus."

He said while turning the Resurrection Stone three times in his palm.

Then, the night at Hogwarts seemed a little different, and there was a hazy thing spreading inside the castle. It was like a thin layer of silver mist. It seemed heavier than everything in the world, but also seemed to be very light, lighter than life and heavier than the soul!

Grindelwald has lost his magic power, but he can still imagine that there must be an old man at this moment - he is wearing his favorite wizard robe, which looks a bit bloated, but exquisite, and the decoration on it is very complicated - he wears He was wearing a wizard's hat, but it was not worn straight, it was crooked and looked a little restless - he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses shaped like crescent moons, and the delicate lenses were placed on his nose that had been crooked several times -

He is Dumbledore!

His eyes are blue, more beautiful than a frozen black lake, and the light they reflect is the light of wisdom; he has a long beard that can be dragged down to his belt like a waterfall, which makes him look a bit conspicuous. old.

He must have walked slowly through every corridor, carefully observed every corner of the castle, and greeted every portrait or soul. Go and touch the head of each sleeping little wizard, cover them with quilts, and make sure they are okay.

Finally, he would walk through the corridors, into the moonlit atrium, and into his, Grindelwald's, dream.

Dumbledore did come.

But his appearance was different from what Grindelwald had imagined. Instead, he was somewhat similar to how he looked fifty years ago. Grindelwald was referring to the cold look on his face.

"Don't call me Albus, Grindelwald." Dumbledore coldly shattered Grindelwald's dream.

Grindelwald suddenly woke up as if a large bucket of cold water had been poured from head to toe. This was never a good night, this was a nightmare!

"Your stupidity and willfulness are beyond my imagination." The words coming out of Dumbledore's mouth seemed to be very angry, but his tone was very calm. He didn't seem angry, but he was extremely disappointed in Grindelwald. , to the point where I can no longer get angry.

He might not be so indifferent when talking to a stone.

"Everything Cyrus did was in vain because of you."

"I don't understand what you mean." Grindelwald looked very pitiful and pathetic at the moment. Compared to Dumbledore, he was as small as a starving cat, wrinkled and curled up. group.

He was also like a cat, longing for a warm hug and some comfort.

but none.

Dumbledore shook his head: "You don't deserve it."

Grindelwald was stunned. This short sentence passed through his heart like a hot knife, like a strong pickaxe hammering hard on the ice, one after another, trying to destroy him completely. Crush!

But he didn't want to be treated so ruthlessly.

He had had enough of feeling like those marble walls in Nurmengard's wet winters, like this cold white tomb.

He just wants to hear some warm words, like putting on a pair of soft wool socks in winter, or drinking a cup of hot pumpkin juice.

"What have I done, Albus, what have I done to deserve you to do this to me?" He cried sadly, kneeling at the feet of Dumbledore's soul, his muddy tears dripping into the soil, "A Even if a century has passed, are you still unwilling to forgive me? I thought..."

I thought those ambiguous moments not long ago were a sign of forgiveness.

Grindelwald thought.

But now it seems that he was wrong, and very wrong.

Dumbledore never forgave him.

But in fact, Grindelwald's current thinking is wrong. In fact, regarding Ariana's incident, Dumbledore didn't hate him so much as he hated himself.

He has always maintained a complex emotion towards Grindelwald.

But now, the Dumbledore in front of him has absolute reason. He can let go of the past that cannot be changed, but he can't let go of what is about to happen.

"You shouldn't use the Resurrection Stone," he said.

"Yes..." Grindelwald buried his head and cried. He was like a child who made a mistake and didn't even realize where he went wrong. He was because he was sad, because he was afraid, and because of Dumbledore's ruthlessness. Make him cry with grief.

It was like he was stepping on shards of glass with his bare feet, and there was a stinging sensation with every step he took.

"How can you forgive me?" he begged.

【

】

"I will never forgive you."

"You made Cyrus's efforts come to naught!" said Dumbledore. "He could have saved everything. As long as you and Harry's soul face death together, you can defeat him. Because he will never win. to three immortal souls."

Grindelwald was stunned.

He only knows these things now.

"But it's too late now," Dumbledore said. "Your soul has been shackled, and the scythe of death has been placed on your neck. You have nowhere to escape, but you still have to drag those two children with you."

He finally let out a sigh.

——

The next morning, Professor McGonagall discovered the poor old man's body in front of Dumbledore's grave.

He was lying there with his facial features twisted together, looking very sad and sad. He seemed to have all the sins of the world engraved on his face. Just looking at him made people feel sorry for him.

No one knows how he died.

Except Harry.

He saw Grindelwald's hand that he had not let go of until his death, and in his hand was a broken Resurrection Stone.

"This is Dumbledore's Resurrection Stone." Harry said, "I thought it was taken away by Halbo that night."

"Grindelwald must have wanted to use the Resurrection Stone to tell Professor Dumbledore that he had finally avenged him." Hermione said, "But he did not expect that Dumbledore, who came back from death, would be cold and cruel."

"It's impossible that he didn't expect it." Ron shook his head, "Have you forgotten? He and Dumbledore were once the people who knew the Deathly Hallows best." He looked at Grindelwald's body with a troubled face, " He must have missed Dumbledore so much that he wanted to look at him even if he died."

"The prophecies... have been confirmed for two." Harry clenched his fists. "Professor Dumbledore was attacked by the Elder Wand, and Grindelwald committed suicide because of the Resurrection Stone. I guess Professor Dumbledore must be torturing him. "

He was referring to psychological torture.

And it just so happened that Grindelwald owed Dumbledore too much.

Just repeating it once was enough for the old man to bear.

"Death has obtained two of the three immortal souls..." Harry said seriously.

And according to the prophecy, at this moment, their inner fear reached its peak. It always feels like a pair of invisible hands is grabbing their throats.

A huge feeling of powerlessness welled up from deep in their hearts.

"Isn't it useless what we do?" Hermione asked desperately, "Syrus and Grindelwald have obviously tried so hard to defeat Herbo, but Grindelwald is still dead..."

“If everything is already predestined, what’s the point of everything we do?”

"Hey," Ron couldn't help shouting when he saw her look like this, "To be honest, I don't think everything is destined." He was unusually serious, "That's not the case!"

"Remember that you always forced Harry and I to do our homework? I dare say that if it weren't for you, our grades might be a little worse. Do you understand, you yourself changed us!"

"But... this is different," Hermione said.

"No, I think Ron is right." Harry also came out of the negative mood just now. He thought of some words that Dumbledore once said to him, "Do you know? In fact, the Sorting Hat first Want me to go to Slytherin House."

"What?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

After hearing this, even Ron almost jumped up.

Harry had always kept this matter as a secret, and even they had never spoken about it.

"No, it's not a joke. He said Slytherin might be better. In fact, my wand comes from the same phoenix feather as Voldemort's wand. We are very similar, right?" Harry said, "I'm sorry. I still hate this, but Dumbledore told me that we are completely different because I chose Gryffindor."

Of course, college is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is: "It was me who chose the current path, not a prophecy or Dumbledore's request. He gave me the chance to give up. Both he and Cyrus told me that if I didn't want to fight Voldemort, They will do it themselves. But I made the choice."

"The fact is that destiny is never important. What is important is ourselves, who we want to be, and whether we are willing to achieve ourselves." Harry said.

"Ginny, Hermione, don't take the prophecy too seriously," Harry said seriously, "otherwise you will find that you are just like Voldemort. The more you care about it, the worse it will be."

"Maybe you're right."

Harry realized that he had been taught another lesson in Dumbledore's wisdom.

A smart wise man is always like this. Even after he leaves you, he can still benefit you a lot. Of course, he also had to admit that his friend had the same wisdom.

They watched Grindelwald being buried in the morning.

There was almost no funeral for the poor old man. Only the headmistress from Durmstrang came to express her condolences.

Originally, McGonagall hoped that she could take Grindelwald's body back, but she was refused.

"Let him sleep here," Vader said. "You and I both know this is a good thing for him, right?"

"Yes." Mag also lamented.

In the end, Grindelwald was buried next to Dumbledore, and he did not build a new grave because the students at Hogwarts would not mourn him.

But Ms. Vader personally carved the letter "G" on Dumbledore's tombstone.

"It means Gellert Grindelwald, and it also means the greater good," Vader said.

She couldn't help but laugh, saying it was for the greater good, but in the end it was still for her own benefit. Everyone in the Wu Cui Party is selfish at heart.

Just like her, from beginning to end, there was only one person she wanted.

Of course, out of reach.

"This place is really good. I think a person like him who has not graduated should really receive some knowledge." Vader was still joking when he left.

As for Sellers, he found out about it not long after.

When he returned to reality across time, he immediately learned about Grindelwald's death. He had no time to feel sad for the other person. In fact, he was not sad, he just felt that the burden on him was heavier.

But he couldn't show any signs of fatigue or cowardice.

"I don't know how Dumbledore survived all these years," he thought.

How can there be anyone in this world who is absolutely rational and absolutely strong?
