Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 104 Old friends spanning fifty years

Austria, town of Gordo.

Dumbledore’s appearance caused discomfort to many people.

In the eyes of everyone in Gordo Town, Dumbledore was the culprit who ruined their career.

They still remember Grindelwald standing on a high platform and raising his arms in those days when no light could be seen.

For the greater good!

What an inspiring slogan, how much effort they put in to achieve this goal, Grindelwald was so heroic at that time.

If it weren’t for Dumbledore, he would never have given up on his great cause.

Obviously, this group of people still has the ability to break the boat.

However, a duel, a duel that seemed like child’s play to them, ruined the cause that the saints had worked hard for.

Even though Grindelwald no longer closed his heart, he contacted them from time to time to comfort them.

They almost thought they had truly forgotten the pain of the past.

However, when Dumbledore actually appeared in Gordo Town, they discovered that he had not forgotten.

Not only have they not forgotten, they also remember every bit of what happened in the past.

They didn’t expect that after many years, Dumbledore would dare to set foot in this forbidden area.

I saw so many people gathered in Godot Town, many of whom were old friends from the past.

There were so many familiar faces that Dumbledore was a little surprised.

He knew the news about Nurmengard, and also knew that many saints had gathered at the foot of the mountain to accompany Grindelwald until the end of his life.

But he didn’t know that so many people had gathered here.

Because Dumbledore believed that Grindelwald would abide by their contract, he was only imprisoned in Nurmengard for the first few years.

Dumbledore paid attention to this place, and later learned that saints came to accompany their past leader.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Dumbledore withdrew the people he was following here.

He had to do this, after all, it was Grindelwald who signed the contract with him, not a saint.

The saints followed Grindelwald’s orders and chose to disband, so the wizarding world cannot push people too hard.

Those saints who have finally settled down cannot lack people with hot tempers.

Grindelwald has already imprisoned himself. If they really treat people as prisoners and keep track of them, there is no chance that they will cause a new war.

The magical world can no longer withstand the war, and being able to settle down for a while is already a good ending.

To be honest, if Gretel hadn’t made an appointment and told him that he had information about Voldemort, he would discuss it with him.

Dumbledore felt that he would never set foot in Nurmengard again until his death.

In fact, after Dumbledore raised his serious question, Snape had already decided to try to contact Gretel.

Fortunately, they were able to mediate between the two and try to help Gretel gain some time to develop.

In Snape’s view, neither Gretel nor Dawn had the ability to face Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix directly.

After all, the Dark Lord, who once swept most of the British wizarding world, could only hide in the corner after his resurrection, for fear that Dumbledore would come and destroy him.

For a group of teenagers to try to overturn the law of secrecy that overwhelms the wizarding world, that is nothing short of wishful thinking.

Although Gretel had a showdown with him, Snape still felt that they were not strong enough, otherwise, why bother to mobilize public opinion.

In the wizarding world, just like the Muggle world, the big fist is the rule.

Since he chose to take a detour, it proved that no matter how perfect Gretel’s plan was, his strength was still insufficient for the time being. .

However, before he could figure out what to do, Gretel contacted him one step ahead.

He also asked him to be the middleman and made an appointment with Dumbledore to discuss it in detail.

Everything that happened in the past two days challenged his cognition.

First, the Dark Lord sent him a message, asking him to slander Dumbledore, with Dawn and Gretel as his primary targets.

Then Dumbledore came to the door and asked him to prove that Gretel was harmless to the wizarding world.

All this made him anxious, but before the matter was resolved, his dear student contacted him again and asked him to send a message to Dumbledore, and the two of them also wanted to have peace talks.

Snape once thought that he was sick and had a hallucination because his brain was burned.

In order to solve this hallucination, he drank several bottles of healing potions, and then went to Dumbledore with a dark cloud formed after drinking the potions.

——

Fortunately, the old guys in Gordo Town are angry, but they are still restrained.

No matter how many times his fingers moved, at least he didn’t actually pull out the wand and launch a decades-long curse attack on the white-bearded man in front of him who was also a hundred years old.

Gretel contacted Grindelwald as early as when he decided to make temporary peace with Dumbledore.

To be honest, without Grindelwald, a man who has been involved with Dumbledore his whole life, Gretel really doesn’t know if he can trust Dumbledore temporarily.

People become wiser with age, even in the Muggle world. As the uncrowned king of the wizarding world, Gretel is really afraid that the old man Dumbledore will set some traps for him in the contract.

But with Grindelwald here, there is no need to worry about this.

In this world, apart from Dumbledore himself, the person who knows him best is of course his soul mate, Grindelwald.

Gretel is not afraid that Grindelwald will not help him, especially after seeing the possibility of realizing his lifelong ideal.

He believed that Grindelwald would be able to make a wise choice between personal emotions and a great cause.

Fifty years ago, he had already let down those who believed in him once.

But today, the dawn has appeared. He will definitely not let it happen again if his loved ones hate it and his enemies enjoy it.

…

When Dumbledore walked into Nurmengard, he was already dazzled.

The castle, which is more than ten stories high, was once used as a prison. Now every cell is filled with various materials and documents.

In every cell, there is a saint immersed in research.

Even if Dumbledore, the enemy who destroyed their career in the past, had walked in, they had no time to give him a blank look.

Step by step, the entire castle was cleaned, and the germ carpets that used to hang carefree on the walls of the castle were all cleaned up.

In Grindelwald’s words, all the documents here, every piece of paper, are more valuable than their lives.

Even if Nurmengard is destroyed one day, they must protect the research records here, which are the key to opening the door to the new world.

Grindelwald’s cell is on the highest floor of Nurmengard.

After Gretel left last time, he summoned the elites of the saints and spent most of the day cleaning and repairing the place.

Today, the castle that once served as a prison may be even more stable and solid than when it was first built.

The further they went to the top, the faster Dumbledore’s heart beat.

It was obvious that he had always shown himself to be calm, but after so many years, he thought that his heart had long since calmed down, and the ancient well was no longer rippled.

However, when he thought that the next person he saw was his confidant whom he had not seen for many years, he couldn’t help but his heart beat wildly.

If it hadn’t been for the appointment with Gretel, Dumbledore didn’t know if he would have chosen to turn around and leave.

He suddenly didn’t dare to see that person.

It has been fifty years, and they were both still young when they ended everything.

But now, Dumbledore looked at his white beard hanging down to his chest and felt inexplicably emotional.

The road, no matter how you walk, will eventually have an end.

One more floor up is the top floor of Nurmengard.

Whether it was Grindelwald or Gretel, they were all waiting for him there.

After standing still, Dumbledore quickly took out his wand and cleaned himself from top to bottom, even the dirt and dust under his high-heeled boots.

He took out a comb from his pocket and carefully combed the messy beard and hair neatly.

The comb is ground bit by bit from the fallen unicorn horn.

Hagrid made it with his own hands in order to thank him for his years of protection after he had washed away the grievances he had carried.

No one knows how Hagrid, with his roughly lattice-like palms like cattail leaf fans, managed to complete such an exquisite thing bit by bit.

Taking a deep breath, Dumbledore stepped onto the final staircase.

…

At the same time, in the cell on the top floor.

Grindelwald started to torment himself early in the morning. He changed into countless sets of clothes throughout the morning.

Fortunately, Mrs. Daphne has never given up preparing new clothes for him over the years, one set every month.

But before today, he had never worn it, and he always looked that sloppy.

But when he learned that Gretel said that he would use Nurmengard as a place for peace talks between him and Dumbledore.

Grindelwald contacted the only tailor in Gordo Town, Lady Daphne, overnight.

Decades of clothes almost filled the entire attic.

I took the trouble to try it on. One moment I said this color was too bright, and the next moment I said that color was unstable.

It wasn’t until Mrs. Daphne’s face turned completely black and she said that if he didn’t choose well again that she would burn all the clothes here that he finally decided on his own clothes.

The dark green velvet magic robe is comfortable and smooth, and a pair of dark brown leather boots with high tops and low heels are surprisingly bright.

The messy white hair, which was almost as messy as an afro, was finally properly moisturized and lay smoothly on the top of his head.

When Dumbledore’s footsteps stopped one floor below, Grindelwald was still asking Gretel in a low voice whether his appearance was dignified enough.

Unfortunately, Gretel only got a blank look.

But now there is no time for him to sort it out.

Dumbledore had stepped onto the last step and was about to go around the spiral staircase.

Grindelwald walked a few steps quickly and stood at the door of the cell. He crossed his hands and leaned on his abdomen, looking towards the corner.

A corner of misty blue jumped into Grindelwald’s eyes first.

Looking up, Grindelwald’s heart suddenly tugged at the old face and dazzling silver hair.

Fortunately, those deep and dazzling blue eyes were still bright.

For a moment, he seemed to be back in Godric’s Hollow, shrouded in the afterglow that day.

…

When Grindelwald saw Dumbledore, Dumbledore also saw him.

Even though he recovered from failure, decades of decadence still caused Grindelwald to suffer from mental depression.

Even if I have supplemented my nutrition for two full years, decades of losses cannot be replenished in such a short period of time.

Grindelwald tried to look energetic, but in Dumbledore’s eyes, he was like a candle that would run out of oil at any time.

Even though Grindelwald had tried very hard to fix his hair, the whiteness could not be concealed.

“Albus (Gellert)…”

The two people shouted each other’s name at the same time. Even though they suppressed their emotions, their voices still trembled uncontrollably.

With a thought, Gretel disappeared from Grindelwald’s cell and appeared several floors below.

At the same time, the magic particles responded to his needs and isolated the entire top floor airtight.

Grete floated in mid-air with his arms folded, watching a group of old men creeping up the spiral staircase.

They all held their breath and listened to the movement on the top floor with their ears pricked up.

Just when I heard my confidants upstairs shouting each other’s names, I couldn’t hear anything else.

Before they could frown, Grete floated behind them and coughed heavily.

“Cough~”

Everyone knows that when a person holds his breath and is nervous, even the slightest sound will appear particularly clear to the ears of the person involved.

Not to mention Gretel’s ill-intentioned cough. At that moment, everyone who was eavesdropping seemed to hear a thunder above the sky.

Turn around and slip away~

This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.

They didn’t even have time to blame the person who coughed, and their only idea now was to quickly remove themselves from the matter.

After all, they couldn’t afford to offend either of the two people upstairs.

Turning around, they saw the floating Gretel, and everyone immediately blushed. A junior caught them stalking the scene for gossip, which was really embarrassing.

Fortunately, there is a shameless person in this group of people, Seni’s grandfather, the saint’s think tank.

Vladimir Dilgo, “What, we just came to ask if there is anything we can do to help. It seems that there is no need now. Let’s get busy.”

Gretel didn’t mean anything else, he just didn’t want anyone to disturb this meeting of the century.

These two people are old enough. Whether it is Dumbledore or Grindelwald, even as wizards, their lifespans are running out.

Especially Grindelwald, after decades of self-blame and self-sacrifice, even if he starts to take care of himself now, he doesn’t know how many years he can live.

No one knows whether this meeting will lead to goodbye forever.

At another time, Gretel would definitely not stop them from listening to gossip. After all, gossip is human nature.

However, this scene happened after Gretel learned that this was the world of Harry Potter.

As I have been looking forward to, he will definitely not let anyone ruin this atmosphere.

“Gellert, why don’t you invite me in and sit for a while?”

When Grete, a living person, left the cell, these two confidants who had been entangled for a lifetime had already discovered it.

Hearing Dumbledore speak again, Gretel suppressed her excitement and leaned against the wall silently.

A tabloid:

According to this newspaper, Mike Gretel, the highest wizard in the All Human Alliance, is born with delicate emotions. He once single-handedly bridged the rift between the former White Devil Dumbledore and the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, and made them happy and contented. old age.

However, such a delicate supreme wizard still lives in the office of the Supreme Decision-making Department every day.

Is it because he has no fixed place to live or is he married without any support?

All mankind is paying urgent attention to this issue.
