HP: Embrace the Darkness

"I am already an old man with a white beard, but you are still so beautiful, Ariana. Maybe when you see me now, you will dislike me, just like you dislike my weird clothes."

Dumbledore said, recalling his time with Ariana, he couldn't help but smile a little, but his eyes were filled with sadness.

On the tombstone, the golden name is like a girl looking at the sad old man quietly and tenderly.

A breeze rose from the cemetery, blowing Dumbledore's words away, to the ears of those who would never hear them, and to the distant horizon.

Dumbledore stayed with Ariana for a long time, until his feet began to go numb. He did not leave. Instead, he changed his position and sat down next to the tombstone, chattering about the interesting and boring things that had happened over the years.

At this moment, he is not the greatest white wizard of this century in the wizarding world, but a brother who simply wants to share his life with his sister.

The name Ariana had been watching Dumbledore tenderly, as if she knew how hard he had been over the past few years, silently comforting him.

Dumbledore said he was tired and wiped Ariana's dusty tombstone again and again.

Then, he sadly placed his forehead on Ariana's name and read the inscription on the tombstone: "Where the treasure is, there is the heart."

He recited it many times, and the invisible shackles that had trapped him for many years gradually relaxed until they dissipated.

Dumbledore stayed in the cemetery until it got dark, then remembered that he had made an appointment to chat with Grindelwald.

It was too late now, and after talking for so long just now, Dumbledore really couldn't muster the interest to face Grindelwald, nor did he want to talk.

He pulled out his wand, released the blue Phoenix Patronus, and said to the Phoenix Patronus: "I'll wait for you at Godric's Hollow at eight o'clock tomorrow."

The phoenix circled several times, briefly lighting up the cemetery, then spread its wings and flew high.

Dumbledore watched the phoenix fly away, slowly stood up, and returned to his home that he had not been to for many years.

On the other side, Grindelwald, who had been nervous all afternoon, received the news from Dumbledore, and his expression seamlessly changed from nervous to disappointed.

Artes, who had been quarreling with him for a long time with the double-sided mirror, heard what the Phoenix Guardian said and looked at his changing face. He almost couldn't hide the gloating in his eyes, and pretended to persuade him:

"You have to give him some time."

Grindelwald glanced at Arthas lightly.

"Laugh if you want. For the sake of you speaking nice words for me in front of Al, I can be merciful and not care about you this time."

"I hope you can still be so tough-mouthed in front of Dumbledore, no, I forgot, you really can."

The image quality of the double-sided mirror was very good. Grindelwald could clearly see the ridicule in Asseth's eyes, and he immediately regretted asking Asseth for help to find a solution.

"My dear son, what are you doing?"

A woman's voice came from inside the double-sided mirror, followed by Asseth's voice.

"Mom, I'm helping others."

Grindelwald said disdainfully, "Tsk, good baby."

Asseth ignored the old man, whose resentment increased even more after being left behind, and asked his mother why she came.

Anna looked over and said, "Where is Severus? Why didn't I see him? Do you know where he is? Your father asked him to buy some potions."

"Buy the potion..." Asseth thought for a moment, "He might be at home now. I can go find him, or should I talk to my father on his behalf?"

Anna didn't care and let Asseth decide for himself.

Then make a compromise, find someone, and talk together by the way, killing two birds with one stone. Artes immediately put down the double-sided mirror and was about to leave, but Grindelwald quickly stopped him.

"Aren't you that serious?"

Asseth picked up the double-sided mirror and glanced at him sideways as he walked, "I don't know who is mentally or not..."

Grindelwald knew that he could never speak to Artes, so he interrupted hastily, "Okay, stop talking."

"Do you mind if others find out about this? My mother might be able to give you some good advice."

Taking the two-way mirror to chat with Grindelwald to Spider-End Alley, Artes couldn't do such a thing and could only find another helper for Grindelwald.

Grindelwald hesitated.

To be honest, he didn't want others to know about his past entanglement with Al, but he did need someone to give him advice.

He couldn't mess up anymore. The two of them were over a hundred years old, and they wouldn't live for many years no matter how hard they calculated.

He didn't want the rest of his time to be filled with regrets.

Grindelwald said succinctly: "Yes."

Asseth turned his steps, stopped Ana who had just left, and handed her the double-sided mirror.

"Mother, be helpful and give him some advice, preferably in detail, otherwise he may misunderstand and tamper with your advice."

Anna held the double-sided mirror with a confused face and looked down. She was almost frightened by Grindelwald inside and had a heart attack. She hesitated and said: "...Senior?"

Grindelwald had investigated the Arthur family and naturally knew that Anna graduated from Durmstrang, so it was perfectly reasonable to call him a senior.

He nodded, his face not showing any naturalness toward Asseth, but it could still be considered gentle.

"Hello, can you do me a favor?"

Grindelwald, who was famous in Europe, smiled gently. Anna felt even more horrified. She didn't know what to say and smiled awkwardly.

"Call me Anna, senior. If you need any help, please tell me first and I will do my best."

Grindelwald hesitated and looked at the environment behind Anna. Anna quickly walked back to her study understandingly, closed the door, and looked expectantly at the double-way mirror.

"Can we talk now?"

Grindelwald: "..."

Is this a family? They all look exactly the same when gossiping.

It's a pity that Mr. Grindelwald, who needs help, has to tell Anna the whole thing, even if he dislikes it, and also attaches what Artes said.

Solving emotional problems for Grindelwald is a brand new experience. Anna is excited and gearing up, as much as she is in the alchemy room.

She took a blackboard commonly used in Muggle classes, placed a double-sided mirror on the table, facing the blackboard, and then began to lecture nonstop.

When talking about rising up, she also asked Grindelwald to take out paper and take notes, which he would check after class.

She had long wanted to try what it was like to be a professor, but she just couldn't find the time. Now she's fine, she knows the gossip, and her addiction to classes has been resolved.

Satisfied, Anna became even more enthusiastic, eager to stuff everything she knew into Grindelwald's mind, interspersed with questions about several situations from time to time.

Finally, she finally understood the reason for Ass's instructions before leaving.

This person really doesn’t know how to fall in love!

Sorry to disturb everyone.

Tomato recently held a King of Gifts event. Although it was a bit confusing, I still wanted to try to see if I could be among the top 100. (scratching head, eager to try)

If you have time, please take a look at the advertisement. Three times is best, two times is fine, and one time is equally fine. The activity seems to be calculated based on the number of people giving gifts.

Don’t expect too much, thank you all in advance.

Of course, this is your freedom, and I completely respect your wishes. I apologize again if I have disturbed you.

If you find it troublesome, it’s okay not to read it. I’m really sorry.

(The author also feels that he is a bit excessive. After all, this is a free reading software, and I want you to help read ads. I feel guilty.jpg)

There is one more thing that needs to be explained:

In response to everyone's enthusiastic expectations, there will be three updates in October, October will end, and double updates will resume in November.

but! !! !!

The author promises that if this book makes it into the top 100, it will be updated three times on weekends. Because it has to be completed in time for the winter vacation, it cannot be updated too much. Please forgive me, but extras can be added. If you want to read, you can leave a message and the author will try his best to write it.

Leave the extra message here (look at me, look at me!)

Thanks again.

Thank you not only for this event, but also for your continued company.
