The Last Goodbye

The green eyes are like a pool of stagnant water, calm and calm.This little guy is really stubborn. Grindelwald shook his head resignedly.

He didn't say anything more, and directly invaded the other party's mind.

This time Harry didn't resist, just closed his eyes uncomfortably.After a while, the black wizard came out, looking happier than before, "You actually cast the Imperius Curse on your master? Thank you for thinking of it." He smiled to himself for a while, "You can't refuse his order, And you really want to protect him? Maybe you can really fool Albus." He paused, "Almost forgot, don't you still know—the fact that Salazar is your master."

He was not surprised to see the green eyes open.

"He just sent you to give you the Philosopher's Stone, so you don't want to be like this? Your character is really similar to Albus. Your silly little master thought you didn't reject him because you liked him. Love is terrible." Really blind." His tone was mixed with contempt and nostalgia, "Let me tell you why. It took me a long time to figure it out, and I really want to find someone to share it with."

He pressed close to Harry's ear, with a magnetic and deep voice that was both gentle and dangerous, "Have you ever wondered why the Sacrifice Curse is so powerful? The victim dies, but the magic doesn't disappear, it's almost as if the caster is still alive. That's great." The magic used is almost lost. No formal school of magic is willing to teach it, and even Durmstrang, who is especially kind to black magic, can’t avoid it. Why..."

"Because this kind of magic will tear the soul of the victim, and use it as a medium to fix the spell on the protected person. In this way, the magic will not disappear after the death of the victim. Some people always think that is the power of love, That's the power of the soul, little fool." He looked tenderly at the person below him, "Although this piece of soul is useless to you if it is not sealed by a Horcrux. But as long as it is still alive, the body it originally lodged in I will obey it—if I want to control you, I have to control Salazar. But this is too variable. I really want you again. What should I do?" On Harry's neck. Grindelwald smiled as the man beneath him stiffened uncomfortably.

"Just put my own soul in it and let it control you."

Those green eyes finally turned around.Instead of ignoring him, they looked at him imploringly. Harry raised his good hand and gave him a very, very light push.That was not a refusal at all, more like a defeated captive begging for mercy from his conqueror.

"...Are you begging me?"

The young man didn't answer, he just raised his neck, exposing the fragile carotid artery.He was almost animal - Grindelwald was amazed.

Only animals have such an instinctive reaction, exposing their lifeblood to their conquerors, so as to beg the other party to let them go.so cute.He's left with such a tiny piece of soul that he can't even speak, yet still maintains his sanity?very impressive.He subconsciously pressed his wand.

This small movement made Harry grip his robe tightly - the terrified kitten-like eyes made him feel both excited and distressed. Harry clutched his clothes tightly and shook his head slightly.This was probably his last way of saying 'no'.

"...It seems that you really love him." Grindelwald smiled, and kissed the kitten's forehead comfortingly, "Say goodbye to your little master. From now on, you are mine." The people beneath him activated their magic again in desperation.The shapeless magic was once again shattered in the hedge of the magic circle. Grindelwald tightened his embrace tenderly, and he could feel the tears wet his robes.He quietly hugged the person in his arms and smiled cruelly.The spell sounded lightly, and the magic circle around them emitted a burst of dazzling light, instantly devouring them.

Riddle suddenly woke up from the dream and rolled out of bed.His eyes darkened for a while, and he staggered and knocked over something.The boy's knees gave way, and he knelt down on a piece of broken glass.Strong tinnitus accompanied by chaotic footsteps.Someone picked him up and healed his palms and knees with a spell.The line of sight is barely in focus. Riddle looked at the person in front of him in a daze.The other party seemed to hold him, and then gently put him on the bed.He blinked hard, and finally saw the man's face clearly - it was Albus Dumbledore.The Vice-Headmaster was followed by the Heads of Slytherin and Ravenclaw. Dumbledore was smiling softly at him, but the two behind him looked worried.

"Thank goodness." Slughorn's forehead was dripping with sweat, grape-colored eyes looking him up and down. "How are you, Salazar?"

Riddle wanted to answer, but just coughed hoarsely. Dumbledore restored the shattered cup to its original state, and handed it to him after filling it with water from the fountain.The boy took a sip gratefully, "...what's wrong with me?"

"You're so tired, kid," Dumbledore said softly, "You should rest a little longer." But Riddle just stared at him suspiciously, and pressed his temple uncomfortably.His head hurt so badly that he couldn't think well.Ms. Pomfrey just happened to walk in.She looked at several professors sternly, "Vice President, Dean, my patient needs to rest."

"Let's go out now." Dumbledore responded to her, but his eyes were still locked on his own students. "Salazar, do you have somewhere to go for summer vacation?" He suddenly asked an irrelevant question. Riddle looked at him inexplicably.

"If you want, you can temporarily stay in Godric's Hollow - I happen to have a vacant room in my house." Dumbledore smiled slightly, "Don't rush to make a decision. We will talk slowly after you have rested."

Riddle still stared at him suspiciously, and after a while he asked slowly, "What about Harry?" There was a hint of unfathomable emotion in the opposite blue eyes.

"I'll invite Harry too," Dumbledore said finally.He took two Chocolate Frogs out of his pocket and put them on the bedside table, then, at the urging of Madam Pomfrey, left with the Heads.

Slughorn stopped immediately as soon as several people went out. "Unbelievable." He said to himself, reaching out his hand to hold his sweaty forehead, "...he actually kidnapped my student...he actually used the Imperius Curse on my student...I trust him so much, I convinced Mr. Flamel to let him take part in protecting the Philosopher's Stone..." He roughly wiped the sweat from his brow, his voice trembling with nervousness, "...Merlin, what the hell have I done..."

"Don't blame yourself too much, Horace. We are all responsible for this." The vice-principal put his arm on his colleague's shoulder.If it hadn't been for his support, the young head Slytherin would have almost collapsed in place.

"Albus, we have to notify the Ministry of Magic." Galatea was also furious, her delicate face tensed, "and Azkaban." She added bluntly.

"Of course," Dumbledore said softly, "but after I visit Nicolas." He waved and Fawkes appeared immediately. "I'm counting on you here." He nodded to the other two people, and disappeared with Phoenix in an instant.

SKYFALL, PARTII

1939

On the first day of school, Riddle read about the German invasion of Poland in a Muggle newspaper.In the next few days, Britain, France, Dominica, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and South Africa declared war on Germany.Another week later, the Soviet Union and Japan signed a ceasefire agreement.The Soviet Union withdrew from the Far East and invaded Poland from the east instead.In October, the German head of state once again hypocritically proposed a settlement to the British and French governments, but demanded that the Soviet Union and Germany have the right to carve up all occupied territories including Poland.With the lessons learned from Slovakia, the British and French governments resolutely rejected Germany's request this time.Hitler immediately turned his face, threatening to invade France that year.

While the Muggle world was in turmoil, the wizarding world was also in turmoil. Grindelwald's power in Europe is at its peak, disturbing the people on the other side of the strait. The appeasement policy of Conservative minister Hector Fawley, backed by the Malfoy family, has been widely questioned.The two-term minister lost a new general election to radical candidate Leonard Spencer-Moon.As soon as the new minister took office, he formed an ally with the French wizarding government, but at this time Grindelwald had already swept across the continent with his great slogan.

Relying on his unparalleled eloquence and provocative power, the black wizard won over half of Europe in just a few months.Thanks to the large-scale war in the Muggle world, countless wizards from the defeated countries were displaced.Many wizards who had left their hometown turned their backs in anger, firmly believing that Muggles could not manage themselves well, and would bring disaster to Chiyu. Wizards should take over Europe, restore order, and realize the 'greater good'.

This of course met with strong resistance from the British and French wizarding circles.

The conservatives headed by France insisted on supporting the "International Statute of Secrecy" and negotiated with the UK to temporarily settle the wizards of the defeated countries in the UK to avoid
