Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard - Chapter 104

c104 Friends spanning fifty years

Austria, Godot Town.

Dumbledore’s appearance caused discomfort to many people.

In the eyes of everyone in Godot Town, Dumbledore was the culprit who destroyed their cause.

They still remembered Grindelwald standing on the high platform and cheering in those days when they could not see the light.

For greater interests!

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

If it weren’t for Dumbledore, he would never give up the great cause.

Obviously, this group of people still have the ability to burn their boats.

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

Even if Grindelwald no longer closed his heart, he would contact them from time to time to comfort them.

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

However, when Dumbledore really appeared in Godot Town, they realized that they had not forgotten.

Not only did they not forget, they remembered every bit of what happened in the past.

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

Seeing so many people gathered in Godot Town, many of them were old friends.

Those familiar faces, so many that Dumbledore was a little surprised.

He knew the news of Nurmengard, and he also knew that many saints gathered at the foot of the mountain to accompany Grindelwald to 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 the contract between them, he only did it in the first few years after he was imprisoned in Nurmengard.

Dumbledore paid attention to this place, and then when he learned that saints came to accompany their former leader.

In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, Dumbledore withdrew the people who were watching here.

He had to do this. After all, it was Grindelwald who signed the contract with him, not the saints.

The saints obeyed Grindelwald’s orders and chose to disband, so the magic world could not push them too much.

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

Grindelwald has imprisoned himself. If they really keep an eye on him as a prisoner, it may cause a new war.

The magic world can no longer withstand war. Being able to live in peace in a corner is already a good ending.

To be honest, if it weren’t for Gretel’s appointment, saying that he had information about Voldemort and wanted to discuss it with him.

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

In fact, after Dumbledore seriously raised his doubts, Snape had decided to try to contact Gretel.

Fortunately, the two of them mediated and tried to help Gretel gain some time for development.

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 magic world could only hide in the corners after his resurrection, for fear that Dumbledore would come to his door and destroy him.

A group of teenagers wanting to overthrow the Statute of Secrecy that weighs on the magic world is nothing but a pipe dream.

Although Gretel had laid his cards on him, Snape still felt that they were not strong enough, otherwise, why would he mobilize public opinion.

The magic world is the same as the Muggle world, where the bigger the fist, the more reasonable.

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 first.

He also asked him to be the middleman and make an appointment with Dumbledore for a detailed discussion.

Everything that happened in the past two days was challenging his cognition.

First, the Dark Lord sent him a message, asking him to spread rumors around Dumbledore, making Dawn and Gretel the primary targets.

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

All this made him anxious, but the matter was not resolved yet, and his beloved student contacted him again, asking him to send a message to Dumbledore, and the two of them still had to negotiate.

Snape once thought that he was sick and his brain was burned, which caused hallucinations.

In order to solve this hallucination, he drank several bottles of healing potions in a row, and then went to Dumbledore with a dark cloud on his head after drinking the potion.

——

Fortunately, the old guys in Godot Town were resentful, but they were still restrained.

No matter how many times they moved their fingers, at least they didn’t really draw out their wands and launch a spell attack spanning decades at the white beard in front of them who was also a hundred years old.

As early as when Gretel decided to temporarily negotiate with Dumbledore, he contacted Grindelwald.

To be honest, without Grindelwald, the man who had been involved with Dumbledore for a lifetime, by his side, Gretel really didn’t know if he could trust Dumbledore temporarily.

As the old man becomes more cunning, 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 around, there is no need to worry about this.

In this world, besides 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 feelings and great cause.

Fifty years ago, he had already disappointed those who believed in him.

But today, the dawn has appeared, and he will never let it happen again.

…

When Dumbledore walked into Nurmengard, he was dazzled.

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

In every cell, there was a saint buried in research.

Even though Dumbledore, the enemy who destroyed their cause in the past, had walked in, they did not have the spare time to give him a pair of white eyes.

Step by step, layer by layer, the entire castle was cleaned up, and the fungal blankets that used to hang on the walls of the castle without worries were all cleaned up.

In Grindelwald’s words, all the documents here, one by one, were more precious than their lives.

Even if one day Nurmengard was destroyed, they had to protect the research records here, which were the key to opening the door to a new world.

Grindelwald’s cell is on the top 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, this castle that was once a prison may be more stable and reliable than when it was just built.

The higher he went, the faster Dumbledore’s heartbeat became.

He had always been calm, and after so many years, he thought he had long been calm.

However, when he thought that he would meet a confidant whom he had not met for many years, he could not help but feel his heart beating wildly.

If it weren’t for the appointment with Gretel, Dumbledore didn’t know if he would choose to turn around and leave.

He suddenly felt a little afraid to see that person.

It has been fifty years. When they ended everything, they were still young.

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

No matter how far you go, the road will eventually end.

One more floor up, it was the top floor of Nurmengard.

Both Grindelwald and Gretel were waiting for him there.

After standing still, Dumbledore quickly took out his wand and cleaned himself from head to toe, even the dirt and dust under his high-heeled boots were not spared.

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

The comb was made of the horn of a unicorn that had fallen off.

After Hagrid washed away the injustice he had carried on his body, he made it by hand to thank him for his protection for many years.

No one knew how Hagrid’s palm-like lattice made such a delicate thing bit by bit.

Taking a deep breath, Dumbledore stepped onto the last step.

…

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

Grindelwald started to torture himself early in the morning. He changed countless sets of clothes in the morning.

Fortunately, Lady Daphne has never given up preparing new clothes for him for so many years, one set every month.

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

But when he learned that Gretel said that he would use Nurmengard as the place for him and Dumbledore to negotiate.

Grindelwald contacted the only tailor in Godot Town, Mrs. Daphne, overnight.

Decades of clothes almost filled up the entire attic.

He tried them on tirelessly, saying that this color was too bright, and that color was not stable.

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

The dark green velvet magic robe was comfortable and smooth, and the pair of dark brown high-top low-heeled leather boots were amazingly bright.

The messy white hair that was almost as messy as an afro was finally properly moisturized and smoothly attached to his head.

When Dumbledore’s footsteps stopped on the lower floor, Grindelwald was still whispering to Gretel whether his outfit was solemn enough.

Unfortunately, Gretel only rolled her eyes.

But there was no time for him to tidy up now.

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

Grindelwald took a few quick steps and stood at the door of the cell, crossed his hands, leaned on his abdomen, and looked at the corner.

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

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

Fortunately, the pair of deep and dazzling blue eyes were still bright.

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

…

When Grindelwald saw Dumbledore, Dumbledore also saw him.

Even though he had come out of failure, decades of depression still caused Grindelwald to be depressed.

Even though he had been replenishing his nutrition for two years, decades of loss could not be made up in such a short time.

Grindelwald tried to make himself 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 hard to tidy up his hair, the gray hair could not be concealed after all.

“Albus (Gellert)…”

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

With a thought, Grete disappeared from Grindelwald’s cell and appeared on the lower floors.

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

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

They held their breath and listened to the movement on the top floor with their ears erect.

They just heard their confidants upstairs shouting each other’s names, and then they couldn’t hear anything else.

Before they frowned, Grete floated behind them and coughed heavily.

“Cough~”

Everyone knows that when people hold their breath and concentrate, and their minds are tense, even the slightest sound will be particularly clear in the ears of the person concerned.

Not to mention Grete’s bad cough. At that moment, everyone who was eavesdropping seemed to hear a thunder in the sky.

Turn around and run away~

This was the only thought in everyone’s mind.

They didn’t even have time to blame the cougher. The only thought now was to quickly get themselves out of this matter.

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

Turning back, they saw Grete floating, and everyone’s old face suddenly blushed. Being caught by a junior for gossip was really a bit socially dead.

Fortunately, there was a shameless person in this group, Senny’s grandfather, the think tank of the saints.

Vladimir Diergo, “Well, we just came to ask if there is anything we can help with. Now it seems that there is no need, we will get busy now.”

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

These two people are old enough, whether it is Dumbledore or Grindelwald, even as wizards, their life span is not much left.

Especially Grindelwald, who has been blaming himself for decades and wasting himself, 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 be a farewell forever.

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

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

He had been looking forward to it, and he would definitely not let anyone destroy this atmosphere.

“Gellert, don’t you invite me in to sit down?”

When Gretel, a living person, left the cell, the two confidants who had been entangled for a lifetime had already noticed it.

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

Small theater

A tabloid:

According to this newspaper, Mike Gretel, the supreme wizard of the All Human Alliance, is naturally emotionally delicate. He once single-handedly bridged the rift between the former White Lord Dumbledore and the first Dark Lord Grindelwald, and made them live happily in their 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 place to live or because he has no marriage to rely on?

All mankind is eager to pay attention to this issue.

This newspaper has invited the famous emotional expert XXX to analyze it for us.
