Collect dragons from Hogwarts

Grindelwald listened quietly to Dumbledore's story and said after a moment of silence.

"You are the headmaster of Hogwarts, but I am not, so I will have nothing to do with your school."

Seeing that Dumbledore still wanted to persuade, Grindelwald raised his hand to stop him and continued.

"And things haven't reached the worst yet. You still have one year to find a way to cure the curse's backlash. I will also help you find a way. It will eventually be cured."

Grindelwald felt that, after all, there was still a year left, and Dumbledore's current attitude was as if he was dealing with the aftermath, and he was simply not prepared to live.

He also knew that what Dumbledore cared about most was Hogwarts and those students, so he wanted to use this to stimulate Dumbledore's desire to live.

But Dumbledore's next words made him understand the seriousness of the matter.

"There is no way. I even went to Nico Flamel, and he couldn't cure me of the backlash of the curse."

Snape, the top alchemist and top potion master in the wizarding world today.

In addition, Dumbledore himself, the top wizard in the wizarding world, was unable to cure the backlash of this curse.

Only then did Grindelwald realize how serious the backlash of this curse was.

The empty hall suddenly became quiet.

Suddenly, Grindelwald thought of something.

But he hesitated.

Dumbledore saw his changing expression and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you?"

Grindelwald looked deeply at Dumbledore.

Even though he had given up on Dumbledore now, he still couldn't bear to watch him die like this.

So gritting his teeth, Grindelwald made a certain decision.

Then he stood up suddenly and walked towards the second floor of the castle.

"Where are you going?" Dumbledore asked, following Grindelwald.

The two of them walked together like this until they arrived at the door of a room on the second floor.

"What are we doing here?"

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore's confused expression and said, "Find someone who might be able to save you."

"But isn't this the room where Zhang Zhe sleeps?"

Although Dumbledore had not gone in to see it, he still knew that Zhang Zhe, who had been sleeping for three years, lived in this room.

"Don't tell me that the person you call the person who might be able to save me is Zhang Zhe!"

Grindelwald ignored Dumbledore's words and pushed open the door in front of him.

This time, he didn't shut Dumbledore out again.

Instead, he just left the door open and allowed Zhang Zhe's dragon body to be displayed in front of Dumbledore.

Grindelwald let Dumbledore see Zhang Zhe's dragon body because he was not going to hide Zhang Zhe's identity.

The reason why he did this was partly because Dumbledore already knew a little about Zhang Zhe's extraordinary qualities.

On the other hand, if Zhang Zhe can really save Dumbledore, then his identity will be irrelevant.

After all, with Dumbledore's character, he would never harm his savior, and would instead protect him more.

Dumbledore, standing at the door, saw the scene in the room for the first time.

But he was shocked by what was in the room and suddenly opened his small eyes.

"Merlin's beard, what is that?"

The room was very large, covering an area of ​​five hundred square meters. The floor of the room was covered with gold coins and gems.

But that wasn't the reason for Dumbledore's surprise. What really shocked him was a creature sleeping on a gold coin and gem.

That creature is somewhat like a fire dragon, but more majestic, mysterious and beautiful than the fire dragon.

He was entrenched on the gold coins and gems, making it impossible to tell his specific length, but Dumbledore was sure that he was at least 10 meters or more.

The creature's body, which was constantly rising and falling due to breathing, was wrapped underneath a pair of dreamy purple wings.

After watching for a long time, Dumbledore realized that the creature was sleeping and showed no signs of waking up.

"What is this creature? Why is it here? Where is Zhang Zheren?"

"Can you be quiet for a while?"

Dumbledore's endless questioning made Grindelwald even more upset because he wanted to interrupt Zhang Zhe's sleep.

"Is it possible that by this time, with your intelligence, you still haven't understood it?"

"Ming...understand what?"

Of course Dumbledore had some guesses, but the guesses were so incredible that he didn't dare to say them out for the time being.

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore disdainfully. After all, they were old acquaintances. He could still guess what the other party was thinking.

"This dragon is Xiaozhe."

Grindelwald looked at Zhang Zhe's true body, which had suddenly grown from one meter to 12 meters in the past three years.

"Since normal wizards can't cure you, they have to find other methods. Otherwise, why do you think I brought you here?"

After Grindelwald explained, he did not wake up Zhang Zhe immediately, but said to Dumbledore seriously.

"I will tell you Xiaozhe's true identity, and I hope you will not betray my trust."

Dumbledore, who had recovered from the shocking news, hesitated and said after hearing Grindelwald's words.

"Who is Zhang Zhe? Will he have any impact on the wizarding world? He..."

Before Dumbledore could finish speaking, Grindelwald warned.

"Put away your Holy Mother Heart Dumbledore, if you dare to hurt Xiaozhe, I will not care about our old relationship."

After Grindelwald finished speaking, he thought of the past and couldn't help but continue.

"To be honest, how much does peace in the wizarding world have to do with you? Is it worth it for you to give up on me for this bullshit peace? Haven't you regretted it after all these years?"

Grindelwald's words shocked Dumbledore.

He asked himself, did he really not regret what he had done?

Of course he regretted it.

After all, he is someone who really cares.

Watching Grindelwald transform from a high-spirited middle-aged man in Nurmengard to an old man later.

He also asked himself, is it really worth losing someone you care about for the sake of the peace of others?

Grindelwald looked at the silent Dumbledore and felt a little regretful.

"Don't think too much, I don't mean to blame you."

He looked at Zhang Zhe and continued.

"Actually, I should say sorry to you."

"Why do you have to say sorry to me?" Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald in confusion.

"I was too young before and felt that nothing was more important than ideals, even family ties." Grindelwald said slowly.

But Dumbledore's expression changed after hearing this. He knew that what Grindelwald was talking about was about his sister Ariana.

"It wasn't until I met Xiaozhe that I realized how paranoid I was."

Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore sincerely and said, "I'm sorry. I'm really sorry about Ariana."

Grindelwald's apology left Dumbledore silent for a long time.

"I can't blame you entirely for what happened back then. I also bear a lot of responsibility."

Dumbledore didn't want to continue this topic, but looked at the sleeping Zhang Zhe.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to Xiaozhe. Not only do you love him as much as your own grandson, I won't love him any less than you do."

(This chapter is mainly intended to bring Dumbledore onto the protagonist’s ship. As for Ariana, in the original book, it was just Aberforth’s own memories, which would definitely be biased. If you don’t know about Dumbledore’s sister, Readers of the story, I took it from the Internet and sent it to the author. If you are interested, you can take a look.)
