Hogwarts Shippuden

The next morning, Kyle looked sadly at the teacup in front of him.

If he wasn't wrong, their mode of transportation to France would be—

"The door key, you have experienced it before." Dumbledore was very happy.

Well, they can only travel with the door key.

Apparition is too much magic, even if Dumbledore is a man, it is impossible for Dumbledore to drag Kyle with a Phantom to fly directly from the Scottish Highlands to the Alps.

No, the complete Nine-Tails Zhuli might be fine.

But there are no tailed beasts in the magic world, so they can only take the way of the door key.

After landing, Kyle dragged Dumbledore down the rugged mountain road, and after passing through a barrier, the familiar castle appeared in front of them both.

Unlike the last time when Kyle came, this time, besides the old man Alfred, there was a pretty girl with black hair waiting to greet him at the gate of the castle.

"Welcome, Dear Dumbledore."

Alfred bowed slightly, then turned to the little devil beside Dumbledore.

"Welcome home, Master Kyle."

Kyle wanted to introduce Dumbledore to the housekeeper who had always taken good care of him, but Dumbledore didn't expect Dumbledore to speak before him.

"Good morning, Alfred."

they know each other?

Well, that's not surprising at all.

According to Father Alfred, his father followed Grindelwald as a devoted saint in the early twentieth century.

When he grew up, he was honored to take over the position of Housekeeper of the Grindelwalds from his father, and has served the Grindelwalds faithfully to this day.

It is reasonable for Dumbledore to know Alfred over such a long time span.

Kyle turned his attention to the black-haired girl who had been standing beside the butler since just now.

What makes Kyle curious is the face of the black-haired girl, a complete oriental face, looking gentle, dignified and beautiful, like a princess in the ancient palace of the Celestial Dynasty.

Aware of Kyle's gaze, the girl looked at Kyle with a pair of bright, clear, star-like autumn water eyes.

She smiled at Kyle, and Kyle only felt that his heart skipped a beat for a moment.

Oops, it's a heart-wrenching feeling.

Alfred took the initiative to introduce him: "This is my granddaughter, Catherine August, currently a seventh grader at Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, this time she is here to spend Christmas with me, a lonely old man. "

Catherine lifted the skirt by her side with both hands, and curtseyed to Kyle with a very elegant gesture.

This sudden formality made Kyle a little uncomfortable, but fortunately he followed Alfred to make up for the noble etiquette for a period of time before, and it was also considered decent.

After a brief greeting, the butler led several people into the castle.

In the living room, Grindelwald stood with his back to the direction of the door, his eyes looking at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, with a calm look, as if the arrival of Dumbledore could not bring a trace of waves to his heart. .

If it wasn't for a cup of black tea that was completely cold on the table next to it, and his legs were sore after standing for a long time, Kyle would have believed it.

His father probably waited in the living room for a long time.

Maybe he secretly rehearsed for this moment for a long time in private, and even the first sentence he said to Dumbledore was decided after careful consideration.

"You're here." Grindelwald's tone was calm and he turned around slowly.

However, when he met Kyle's meaningful gaze, Grindelwald, who felt that he was seen through, almost failed.

Grindelwald glanced at Kyle without a trace,

There was a threat in his eyes.

Kyle, who knew it in seconds, went away immediately after saying hello to him.

Only Dumbledore and Grindelwald were left in the living room.

Dumbledore looked at Kyle's retreating back, and sighed softly, "He's more and more like you."

Grindelwald with his arms folded raised his eyebrows and did not speak, but the arc of the corner of his mouth showed his current mood.

"Gail, we need to talk." Dumbledore looked back.

"I don't think there's anything to talk about." Grindelwald snorted coldly. "He's my son, and he's destined to go down this road."

"He's my son too!"

Grindelwald shrugged nonchalantly. "So what? Who do you think he's closer to?"

Looking at Grindelwald who looked like a rogue, Dumbledore's mouth twitched slightly.

He still doesn't understand a little bit, obviously he came first, why Kyle only lived with Grindelwald for two months, and the relationship between father and son is as good as wearing the same pair of pants.

Is it because of blood concentration?

Damn!

Seeing Dumbledore whose face was instantly darkened, Grindelwald smiled smugly.

"What's wrong with a son inheriting his father's unfulfilled great ideals?"

"We've discussed this many times, Gale..."

Grindelwald raised his palm, interrupting Dumbledore.

"Albus, you won't go out of your way again, no matter if he is mediocre or extraordinary, as long as he lives happily, will he?"

Grindelwald let out a sarcastic sneer, "Do you think the surname Grindelwald is really that easy to carry?"

Dumbledore was silent for a while, without speaking.

"Kyle has inherited the magical talent of both of us, and he also has a mature heart that far exceeds his peers. His light is impossible to hide no matter what."

Grindelwald took a step forward, staring at his old lover.

"Unless you imprison him in Numengadry, even without my guidance, those saints will take the initiative to find him one day in the future..."

Kyle's appearance can't deceive people, he and young Grindelwald can be said to be carved out of the same mold.

This may be able to fool people who have never seen the style of the first generation of the demon king, but it can never be concealed from the saints with fanatical beliefs.

Unlike the Death Eaters who were instantly reduced to rats crossing the street after Voldemort threw himself on the street, after Grindelwald's fall, his followers were hardly subjected to any liquidation and accountability.

No matter how heinous crimes Grindelwald committed, no matter how people in the wizarding world looked at Grindelwald and his followers—

Most of the saints who gathered around Grindelwald fought for freedom, truth, and love.

The power gathered based on these three beliefs is extremely powerful.

This is also why the Ministry of Magic of various countries finally chose to give up the reckoning after the autumn, and let those saints hide again.

If one day, there is a wizard with Grindelwald's blood flowing in the magic world, and his talent is comparable to or even surpasses that of Gellert Grindelwald, then...

After taking a serious look at the determined look on Grindelwald's face, Dumbledore knew it was impossible for him to change Grindelwald's mind.

He can only take the initiative to take a step back.

——

Xiaonan is officially here!

It's the old housekeeper's granddaughter Catherine!

As for why she is Xiaonan...

Well, the answer will be revealed tomorrow.

Go to bed, the dog's life is important, good night, all.
