I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - #179 - Chapter 179 The Prophet’s Prophecy and Death

Austria, Nurmengard Castle.

Dumbledore looked at the ancient castle in front of him with complicated eyes. Many people thought it was a ghastly prison, but only he knew that no prison could hold Gellert.

The only thing that can imprison Gellert is the prison in his own heart. Nurmengard? It’s just a place to stay.

This time, he did not let Fox activate Disapparation, but walked step by step towards the tall tower in the middle of the castle like a Muggle.

During this period, Dumbledore’s expression kept changing, sometimes hesitant, sometimes decisive. He knew very well what serious consequences his behavior would have this time.

Just like when two people break up, quarrel, or have a cold war, whoever looks for the other person first will bow down first.

But these were unimportant to Dumbledore.

The important thing is that he is afraid that the Nurmengard in Gellert’s heart will no longer exist from now on. After all, his behavior at this time is like bowing his head and admitting defeat.

The life span of wizards is generally much longer than that of Muggles, and most of the 100,000 wizards who gathered in Paris at the beginning… are still alive today, and then thinking about the disappearance of Nurmengard in the other person’s heart… this is what he wants most worried.

But the matter has come to this, just as he is unwilling to sacrifice Harry, he will not give up on Ian.

Looking at the winding stairs, Dumbledore calmed down, adjusted his robe a little, and then walked up.

…

On the other side, in the room of Nurmengard Tower, a tall and graceful old man suddenly smiled.

The eyes with naturally different pupils, coupled with the slightly raised corners of the mouth at this moment, give people the first impression of being evil and crazy.

Even though the old man no longer has his youthful and handsome face due to the erosion of time, his… temperament that forgets the world after seeing him is still evident.

“Albus…” Grindelwald sighed to himself.

Dumbledore had already sensed it the moment he set foot on Nurmengard.

“Knock! Knock! Knock!”

A crisp knock on the door sounded.

After seeing the old wooden door open automatically, Dumbledore walked into the room without any hesitation.

They met for the first time after more than half a century. Neither of them spoke to each other. In the quiet room, it was as if time and space had stopped. The two of them just stared at each other quietly.

He watched Grindelwald’s old appearance gradually merge with the high-spirited figure in his mind.

“Hey!” With a sigh, Dumbledore broke the peace here. “Gellert, I seek your help…”

Dumbledore knew very well that the other party was waiting for him to speak first, just like two quarreling friends, whoever speaks first gives up. But he couldn’t care so much at the moment. He knew very well that Ian’s situation was indeed not optimistic.

“Oh?” Grindelwald raised his eyebrows. He never expected that Dumbledore would speak so easily, and he would clearly ask for help.

The mutual understanding made him understand that Dumbledore was really in trouble, otherwise he would not have come to the door, let alone the first to speak.

Someone bullied him? Thinking of this, Grindelwald narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his narrow eyes. It disappeared without a trace in an instant, and then said calmly:

“Tell me what happened.”

“I need you to help me predict a person’s future.” Dumbledore said as he put the box in his hand on the table and took out the clean crystal ball inside.

Grindelwald looked at the familiar items in front of him and was a little distracted. “He really still has it…” This thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

“Just predicting the future?” Grindelwald took the crystal ball with a complicated mood and asked doubtfully.

“Yes, just predicting the future.” Having said this, Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and then added: “At least… now we need to predict the future.”

“Tell me the details.”

…

About half an hour later, the crystal ball where the rain and fog rolled over returned to calm.

Dumbledore knew that this was a sign of the end of predictions. Prophets who truly had the ability to predict the future could peek into the future through the vision of the crystal ball, and the rolling clouds were the sign of the prophets.

Dumbledore did not speak first this time. He was waiting for Gellert’s prophecy.

“die!”

A simple word made Dumbledore almost tremble, even though he had prepared for the worst before coming. But… there is often still a trace of luck in my heart.

Grindelwald also sighed when he saw his former best friend’s demeanor. “Death in its purest, ultimate form. I’m sorry, but that’s all I saw.”

“Thank you, Gellert!” Dumbledore said softly.

…

Dumbledore left after all.

Grindelwald looked at the crystal ball left by the other party, and suddenly a smile appeared on his lips. He had never been so happy as he was today in more than half a century.

And he didn’t lie just now. All he saw in his field of vision was death, the ultimate, pure death.

But he did not tell Dumbledore that death in this state was not normal, or that wizards did not deserve it at all.

His happiness at the moment was more about seeing the future of wizards…

…

On the other side, in the principal’s office, Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick had already left.

After Dumbledore came back, he sat quietly in his chair and thought about the solution.

Just as Gellert understood him, he also understood Gellert. He knew that the other party was not lying and that the other party really saw death.

“Ariana…”

He thought of his sister, but at that time he was unable to change the facts that had happened, but now he does not want to give up, even if he still cannot change the facts.

Dumbledore opened the drawer and prepared to write a letter to his old friend.

But just this slight movement made his pupils shrink, and he saw something in the drawer, a simple ring inlaid with obsidian.

And this ring…should have been locked in the cabinet along with several other items.

“Is it a coincidence…”

Dumbledore remembered the reason why the ring appeared in the drawer.

The day before the summer vacation, Ian came to borrow a book from him. He saw the strangeness in the other person’s eyes the moment he saw the ring, the expression on his face when he put it back calmly, and even the slight trembling of the other person’s wand unconsciously. inside, and the ring was also put into the drawer at that time.

He was aware of too many things, but many times, he chose to pretend not to see them. Just like he never takes the initiative to use Legilimency, because living like that is too tiring…

“Destiny…” Dumbledore murmured softly as he looked at the Resurrection Stone inlaid on the ring.

Then he pointed the wand at the ring, and a pale green light flashed. After a shrill voice came from the ring, he picked up the ring again, checked it carefully to make sure it was correct, and then stood up and left.
