"Nurmengard."
Aini:! ! !
Bad old man, what does this mean?
Subconsciously, Aini also read out a name.
"Grindelwald?"
Well!
Ani's gentle question made Dumbledore freeze up as if he had been hit hard.
It's just embarrassing.
I just got emotional about the scene, and God knows why my thoughts have reached this point.
After reading Nurmengard, the old principal woke up with a start, hoping that the boy who was still playing with the phoenix didn't hear it clearly.
It's just the murmuring in ecstasy, which is not much louder than the flapping of mosquito wings.
Unfortunately, Aini's answer immediately broke his illusion.
Sound a little quiet?
For Aini, the sound of mosquito wings flapping is already very noisy, okay?
"Do you know Grindelwald?" Dumbledore had an awkward smile on his face that could barely maintain his politeness. He couldn't think of a good response for a while, so he had to throw out a nonsense sentence.
"I heard my parents mention it." Aini replied calmly. He was still thinking about Dumbledore's intentions.
Wasn't the atmosphere just bad?
Let's play with the birds, pet the cats, and sit for a while in the natural bookstore. I can also use a few questions I have saved in the past two days to meet your needs as a teacher. How nice.
Why did the style of painting suddenly change?
I just finished quarreling with Old Tom and pointed out the destination of the generation. What does it mean?
Do you want to test me?
But the expression on Lao Dengtou’s face doesn’t look like it.
"Well, if it weren't for... Grindelwald, maybe Newt and Tina wouldn't be able to get together." After all, he is the leading wizard in Britain. Although he paused unconsciously when Grindelwald's name was mentioned, After saying this, Dumbledore's mentality returned to calm.
To be honest, Ani was already curious about Grindelwald, especially in the descriptions of Newt and Tina. The person known as the Dark Lord has greatly deviated from the image on the screen.
But of course Ani was well aware of the feud between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer the question.
Dumbledore might have been hurt by asking a question rashly, so he had no choice but to let the old man immerse himself in his own thoughts.
In Dumbledore's more than 100 years of life, no one made him feel more complicated than Grindelwald.
The Dumbledore family has a long heritage, and the old principal showed extraordinary magical talent as a child. He has parents who love him and younger siblings who adore him. It can be said that he is a perfect template for the protagonist.
It’s a pity that it’s the protagonist’s body and the supporting character’s life.
The day Ariana's magic awakened was supposed to be a family carnival day.
For a wizarding family, what could be more worthy of celebration than having a prosperous heir, all of whom have wizarding talents, and no squibs?
But this untimely awakening not only caused Ariana's life to enter a countdown, but also caused the children to lose their father.
Several Muggle boys witnessed Ariana's awakening process. They regarded the girl as a monster and violently used various execution methods during witch hunts in the Middle Ages on the little princess who should have been happy and carefree.
Including but not limited to hanging, burning, waterboarding, etc.
Fortunately and unfortunately, the magical power in Ariana's body protected her and prevented death. However, the nightmare encounter destroyed the girl's spirit, and the out-of-control magic turned her into an Obscurial.
Even if the Obscurus is kept under the supervision of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries for the rest of his life, he cannot escape the fate of being swallowed by the Obscurus within his body.
Dumbledore's father killed those Muggle boys in a rage. Under the operation of certain forces, the old Dumbledore was sentenced to prison, and Azkaban became the last stop in his life.
The various blows that followed also cost the Dumbledore family a huge price.
Finally, when the external situation calmed down a little, the Obscurus in Ariana's body suddenly lost control, leaving the three siblings without their mother.
Dumbledore never doubted that he must be great, but the successive blows did plunge him into a swamp of confusion.
He felt that the road ahead in life was full of fog, leaving him unsure of where to go.
At this moment, Grindelwald appeared.
The same youthful spirit, the same talent, the same lofty goals, the same cognition and demands.
More importantly, there seems to be a natural tacit understanding between the two, whether it is the exploration of magic or the collision of ideas. Sometimes they can't even figure out whether you said what I thought or whether I guessed it. your answer.
Another very important point is that they all like the stone pillar bowling game.
Naturally, the two hit it off and became close friends.
Together they pursue the true meaning of magic, criticize various outdated systems, and how to make the magical world a better place.
That was the happiest time in Dumbledore's life.
However, given Old Deng’s destiny, he would probably go to the streets of London and buy two boxes of comedy tapes. When he comes back and opens them, it’s either Medea or Othello.
So for the man who finally stood at the top of England, happy days are always short-lived.
Before Hogwarts started that year, Aberforth angrily accused Dumbledore of not caring about his sister, triggering a fight between the three.
I don't know who was involved in the chaos, but Ariana was on the sidelines. This fight became the last memory in the girl's life.
All of this is related to that name.
At the lowest and most depressing time in his life, it was Grindelwald who pulled him out of the quagmire of his soul and injected long-lost joy into his heart.
The most painful thing for Dumbledore was that it was not that Grindelwald wanted to take back this happiness, but that when Ariana was accidentally injured, as an older brother, he had to endure the reluctance in his heart and force himself to cut off his relationship with Greene. Devo's connection.
Compared with the mental torture, having his nose broken by his brother didn't even stir up a trace of emotion in his heart.
After the incident, having guessed Dumbledore's thoughts, Grindelwald left Godric's Hollow overnight and never contacted him again.
Instead, they quietly compiled their thoughts on the new order over the past two months, and used this as a guideline to launch a vigorous revolution in the wizarding world.
But that summer, whether it was Dumbledore and Grindelwald who scolded Fang Qiu, or the timid little lolita Ariana, or Aberforth who was sulking as he completely ignored them, it was absolutely difficult for him to do so. Thinking about the collision of ideas in Godric's Hollow in the past two months, what huge waves will be set off in the future.
This wave swept many people, drowned many people, forced many people away, and finally knocked themselves apart on the cliff.
But it is not without results. The old and conservative cliff has finally been cracked, and the misty rain and fog have fallen, and new ideas will eventually sprout in it.
This is why Dumbledore never commented on Voldemort and Grindelwald at the same time.
They all brought pain to the world, but Grindelwald brought more than just pain.
