Starting Over at Hogwarts

Dumbledore's attitude was very obvious.

After hearing Dumbledore's words, Grindelwald stopped fiddling with the crown.

The former Dark Lord calmly raised his head and stared at the greatest white wizard in the wizarding world. An evil smile suddenly appeared on his lips, but he answered Dumbledore's wrong question.

"Ha, Albus, it turns out you are really old."

"..."

Dumbledore's hand holding the wand suddenly became stiff.

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald's transformed middle-aged appearance, slowly frowned, and said softly: "Everyone will grow old, slowly forget their past, and move toward the end of life..."

This is what Dumbledore told Grindelwald directly!

Everything in the past has been forgotten over time. I am just a wizard with the responsibility of maintaining peace in the magic world.

"Actually, I'm getting old too."

Grindelwald spread his arms indifferently, looked at everything in Godric's Hollow, and continued with a smile: "But I have not forgotten the stories that happened here. On the contrary, they are remembered more and more clearly in my mind."

"You're still the same..."

The corners of Dumbledore's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he stared intently at Grindelwald, who was smiling evilly in front of him.

Because the Grindelwald in front of him was just like before, he still didn't care about using any means before the battle started, which made Dumbledore have to recall the stories that he could never forget in his life.

This man…

Still so insidious and cunning!

Dumbledore couldn't tell whether Grindelwald's words were true or false.

Because Grindelwald is always good at covering up the truth with lies and likes to use words that deliberately seduce him to distract him, Dumbledore is very aware of Grindelwald's tricks.

This guy…

What do they think of everything in their past?

Is it still the same as before, as a tool that can be used?

Even Dumbledore sometimes couldn't really tell the truth from Grindelwald's words, and he couldn't pin the safety of the entire magical world on their feelings.

Grindelwald seemed to understand Dumbledore's thoughts. He slowly picked up the wand in his hand and pointed it at his temple, with the teasing smile still hanging on his lips.

"Want to see my memory?"

The wand in Grindelwald's hand glowed with starlight. He chuckled, but suddenly continued: "Dumbledore, if it weren't for the two months of memory here, I wouldn't be able to survive the forty years of Nurmengard." for many years…"

"..."

The corners of Dumbledore's eyes twitched again.

Even his heart couldn't help but suddenly speed up!

Why did Grindelwald bring up this kind of thing at this time? This sentence was like a sharp blade piercing Dumbledore's heart, opening a hole in his heart!

"I could have stayed there."

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore, whose expression changed slightly. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, but he still insisted on smiling and continued: "It's a pity that the little guy went to the tower, and he only said one thing…"

"What did Peter Pettigrew say to you?"

Dumbledore's cheeks slowly trembled, and he forced himself to regain his composure: "No matter what he said, you should not believe him and leave that tower."

This is what Dumbledore especially hates about Peter Pettigrew now!

Because Peter deceived Voldemort and the Potter family, now he dared to deceive Grindelwald, and even actually deceived Grindelwald out of the tower of Nurmengard Castle!

Grindelwald was fooled!

With Peter Pettigrew's insidiousness and cunning, Grindelwald has seemed to have been taken advantage of. This is what makes Dumbledore particularly angry and sad, that the two of them are killing each other again after so many years!

"That little guy plays with people's emotions better than anyone."

Grindelwald didn't seem to care about Dumbledore's indifference. He was still smiling, but his eyes seemed to become brighter, as if they were filled with tears.

"Dumbledore, he is right. It is impossible for anyone in this world to spend the rest of his life in that tower with only two months of memory and a name."

"Grindelwald..."

Dumbledore's lips couldn't help but twitch.

Even if he became a wizard respected by the entire magical world, even if he had already experienced many twists and turns in his life, he could not help but be completely broken by these words.

Over forty years…

More than ten thousand days and nights of loneliness…

How did Grindelwald spend his time in the tower of Nurmengard?

Just when Dumbledore wanted to say something to keep the two of them from being too sad, the enchanted starlight from Grindelwald's wand suddenly flew towards him!

The curse hit his chest and knocked him away!

Dumbledore's body flew out and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment!

"Tsk, I've been fooled again..."

Grindelwald held his wand, flicked his forehead, and put on a mocking smile again: "Dumbledore, after so many years, are you still so easily deceived?"

"Maybe it's because of my age."

Dumbledore stood up calmly and patted the dust on his robe. His complicated and painful mood finally became calmer with this curse.

Yes.

Grindelwald had lied to him again.

It doesn't matter.

At least this situation made him feel less guilty.

"It seems there is no need for us to communicate anymore..."

Dumbledore's eyes gradually regained clarity, wisdom returned to his brain, and a tide of magic gradually emerged from the wand in his hand, and he quickly transformed back into the calm and powerful white wizard!

"It just so happens that I'm not in the mood to talk anymore..."

Grindelwald held the wand in one hand and Ravenclaw's diadem in the other. A tide of magic reappeared on his body, and the air gradually twisted in the area where his magic was raging!

Godric's Hollow.

Suddenly a breeze began to blow.

Grindelwald raised his eyes and watched the gust of wind blowing a dead leaf on the roof. The dead leaf was suddenly blown up by the wind and slowly fluttered back and forth in the direction of the wind...

Dead leaves fall to the ground.

It happened to fall in the middle of them.

In an instant, Grindelwald's eyes suddenly became serious, and he suddenly raised his wand, and a ray of white light flew towards Dumbledore opposite!

Almost at the same time!

Dumbledore raised his wand and pointed it at Grindelwald. A glowing red spell, embellished with magic like lightning, collided with the flying white light!

The light of the two wands complement each other!

Two people who once shook the world in the last era!

Finally, we meet again in this era!

Everything around the battlefield was shrouded in the residual power of the two magic spells. Electric light kept flashing from the two magic spells. No one dared to approach rashly, and no one thought that they could intervene in this battle!

"You shouldn't be bewitched by him!"

Dumbledore controlled the red magic and squeezed the white magic forward little by little, his eyes more serious than ever: "In order to achieve his goal, Peter Pettigrew will kill many people, and now you are just his pawn!"

"No need to lecture me!"

Grindelwald's face instantly became fierce, and he stepped forward and tried to use his magic power to force back Dumbledore's red curse: "Dumbledore, I am not your student. I know what he is like better than anyone else." people!"

After saying that, Grindelwald even mocked: "It seems that you are really old, Albus. When did you start to have delusions? Do you still think that you are the one who can control the situation?"

Until this time…

Dumbledore still can't see through the situation!

Why does this guy think that he has laid a trap for Peter Pettigrew, the one who can control the chess game? He doesn't understand that he has become someone else's pawn now!

"I already had everything under control..."

Dumbledore slowly shook his head, the magic on the wand faintly flinched, and there was a hint of regret and sadness in his voice: "Gellert, your appearance has made the situation out of control."

If it weren't for Grindelwald...

If Grindelwald hadn't been bewitched...

Now maybe he'd caught Peter Pettigrew hiding in the darkness!

Everything was originally under his control. Using the conspiracy trap set by Peter Pettigrew's greed for treasures, he could quietly resolve a crisis without alerting others!

Dumbledore shook his head helplessly. The Elder Wand in his hand suddenly surged out a burst of magic power, and quickly knocked back the white light curse by half a meter. He was about to completely win this magic competition. !

"You shouldn't have come."

"But I'm already here."

Grindelwald refused to back down at all!

Under the illumination of the white light spell, Grindelwald's face was more determined than ever before, and the wand in his hand glowed with white light: "From the moment I chose to come back, it has been absolutely impossible for me to go back..."

"You will regret this."

Dumbledore's eyes were particularly complicated.

At this moment, he actually couldn't understand his old friend.

"No one dares to say anything until the last minute."

Grindelwald looked at the old man opposite, with a slight smile on his lips.

This feeling is really subtle...

Did Dumbledore really know what he was doing?

Grindelwald glanced at the Ravenclaw diadem in his hand. This was the purpose of his visit.

Grindelwald inexplicably thought that it was good to continue like this. While exploring the way forward for wizards and cleaning up hidden dangers in the magical world, he could still see Dumbledore who was trapped in the fog without knowing it.

When he thought of this, Grindelwald suddenly laughed.

"Last time, you let Newt and Tina cause me a lot of trouble. This time it's my turn, Dumbledore, now it's you in the dark..."
