The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Gellert Grindelwald's face sank instantly.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly raised his head, and took a careful look at Jon: "I thought he would wait a few years, until you were an adult... and then tell you this secret!"

"Maybe Professor Dumbledore thinks I'm growing faster than I thought?" Jon guessed.

"Maybe!" Grindelwald said lightly.

His old and confused eyes, through the blazing flames, through the extremely narrow gap on the black stone wall, looked out at the gradually dimming night sky...

Jon was considering whether to remind Mr. Grindelwald not to change the subject.

Fortunately, Grindelwald doesn't seem to have any plans to do so.

"Because I had already lost at that time, completely lost!" His voice was very calm, not at all like an old man over a hundred years old: "As a loser, it is meaningless to keep a secret; A secret to take to the grave, if told to a man who will not reveal it."

"Haven't you thought about making a comeback?" Jon couldn't help asking curiously.

"Humph!" Grindelwald snorted coldly: "Since I was defeated by him, it proves that he was right and I was wrong... The winner wins everything, and the wrong one should die with his ideas. It's a very simple rule."

"It was just a duel..." Jon said after a moment of silence.

"Duel?" Grindelwald glanced at Jon mockingly: "It was a war...in Moscow, in Algiers, in Normandy...I lost to him in every battlefield, he did it Better than me, and he is better than me... By the time of the final duel in 1945, I had nothing!"

"Are you implying that you lost to him on purpose?" Jon couldn't help blinking: "The duel in Berlin in 1945..."

"Not exactly!" Grindelwald shook his head: "But I did have a chance to kill him. With the Elder Wand in hand, it wasn't particularly difficult...but at that time, when I had lost everything , Whether it is killing him, or killing Leonard Moon, or killing Winston Churchill, it no longer makes any sense... because, I have already failed."

"You said that after failure, you would rather be killed by Dumbledore..." Jon said.

"Gellert Grindelwald has failed, but his loyal followers don't feel that he has failed...in Bavaria, in Bulgaria, in Scandinavia...even if Gellert Grindelwald is defeated by A Don't think-Dumbledore kills, and their resistance will not end, although this resistance is meaningless, it is only a futile sacrifice..."

"...But if Gellert Grindelwald is defeated by Dumbledore and confesses his crimes before the leaders of the Ministry of Magic in dozens of countries; they will fully realize the shattering of their faith and will completely end this war !” Grindelwald narrated calmly.

"That's why you were imprisoned in this prison after pleading guilty?" Jon asked, biting his lip.

"Do you think this prison alone can trap me?" Grindelwald sneered: "From Europe to North America, I have successfully escaped more than 20 times and convinced more than 50 jailers who imprisoned me... So, They dare not even send a watcher to this tower!"

"Do you think you can trap me with those ridiculous protective spells alone, do you think you can stop me from casting spells without a wand and a distraction spell, or do you think it's just a few big dogs that that brat named Scamander got? Cat..." Grindelwald shook his head: "If I want, I can easily leave here...Of course, it would have been decades ago, and now I can't do it anymore. After all, fifty years, I haven't used any magic anymore."

"To be honest, you are more respectable than I imagined." Jon said with a serious face, without any hint of joking in his voice.

"Respect?" Grindelwald looked at Jon again with mocking eyes: "This is just the rules of the game between me and him... I have won his approval, understood each other with him, and even become intimate with him Inferior...but our ideas are completely different, and we parted ways in the end..."

"...He hates me, I hate him, and we both regard each other as the existence that should be eliminated the most!" Grindelwald paused, and then continued: "But with my doomed failure, then the relationship between us The war is over, and I will not do any more meaningless recalcitrance in the end, which is meaningless... except that it can cause deeper chaos!"

"Similarly, if instead of him coming to Berlin, I went to London in the end; he would have chosen to do so...Albus Dumbledore would have been easily defeated by me, and the entire wizarding world would have been at his beck and call. With help, it quickly fell into my hands." Grindelwald explained calmly.

"Professor Dumbledore did not choose to control the world..." Jon reminded softly: "He refused to take over Leonard Moon's position as Minister of Magic, but chose to take over from Armando Dippet and became the Headmaster of Hogwarts."

"It's his choice, it has nothing to do with me." Grindelwald shook his head disdainfully: "Since he is willing to hand over the magical world to those mediocre people, since he himself chooses to stay away from the center of power... It's just a mockery of his stupidity and innocence."

"Professor Dumbledore is a great man." Jon said slowly.

"Greatness and greatness are different." Grindelwald sneered, and glanced at Jon: "You don't have to show respect to me... If I was the winner, as a Muggle-born child, you wouldn't even Can't be born."

"Respect and respect are also different." Jon replied calmly: "Respect does not mean approval."

...

There was a brief calm between the two.

After a few minutes of silence, the old man on the stone bed took the initiative to ask, "What is my final outcome? You said you saw... In the Nurmengard tower, the lonely old man?"

"Yes." Jon turned around, looked at the very narrow gap in the black stone wall, and said slowly.

"So what about him? Did he end his life as the headmaster of Hogwarts?" Grindelwald continued to ask.

"That's right!" Jon nodded again.

"You're lying to me... To be honest, your Occlumency is pretty good, but you're not good at lying at all!" Grindelwald snorted coldly.
