The Last Goodbye

side.Because apart from me, no one else can realize your dream. 】He left his hand away from the other party, straightened up, and slid down from the young man's lap, 【Remember, Harry, as long as you are loyal to me, I will be loyal to you.This has nothing to do with my love for you.This is for - the greater good. 】

Harry stretched out his hand suddenly, and Riddle was caught off guard, and was grabbed by the tie.The young man roughly pulled him over, kissed him fiercely, wrapped his arms around his waist tightly with his free hands, and pulled him towards him with all his strength.In the gap between lips and teeth, he clearly heard the other party's voice, so soft and long, like the sound that cats make when they are coquettish, so decisive and profound, like a lame person walking for the first time, a blind person walking for the first time Seeing the light once, there was a real pain and longing in Harry's voice...

"I'm yours, Lord Voldemort."

Early the next morning, students from Beauxbatons, Hogwarts, and Durmstrang were taken aback when they entered the cafeteria—all five judges from the Tournament were there?That's all for the heads of Hogwarts and Beauxbatons, why didn't even Newt Scamander and Gellert Grindelwald leave?Don't they have other things to do?For example, assisting the British Ministry of Magic, or dominating Europe?The students ate their breakfast in a dazed mood.The five judges and three contestants in the corner were very calm.They were chatting, looking happy and intimate.

"Sweden's climate is really good." Blanc looked at Albus happily, "I remember that Scotland is often foggy during this season."

"Yes, there is a lot of humidity." The blue-eyed wizard agreed. "Principal Dippet has been suffering from rheumatism lately. I have always recommended him to take a vacation in Provence."

"Now is a good season to go to South France." Blanc nodded, "I should write him a letter and invite him to live in Beauxbatons for a while." She looked gently at the person across the table, "Mr. Grindelwald, Can you pass me the pepper?" The black wizard put down the knife and fork, took the pepper and salt at hand, and placed them in front of the headmistress. "Thank you." Blanc smiled gracefully.

"Speaking of the weather," Bergstrm looked at the other people on the long table while cutting the Italian sausage on the plate. "There will be a good beam of light before and after the first project. I wonder if you are interested? It is not far from here. There's an observation deck. We can't Apparate at the school, but we can take a buggy and it's only a few hours away."

"That's a great proposal, Principal Bergström." Blanc agreed, turning his head to look at Albus inquiringly. "It's a good suggestion." The head of Hogwarts reconsidered. "It's indeed a good suggestion." Grindelwald, who was drinking coffee, agreed, "But I don't think Mr. Dumbledore and I will have the honor." Newt next to him put down his knife and fork vigilantly, "...why?" he asked softly. Grindelwald didn't answer, just smiled and looked across the table.

"Yes, I'm afraid Mr. Grindelwald is right." Albus looked at Newt and Bergstrm apologetically, "We may not have this honor." He also didn't answer Newt's question, but the latter didn't ask further. Newt just frowned and took a sip of his black tea.There was a brief silence on the long table.

"Speaking of the first project, will there be a wand test in a few days?"

Blanc spoke again, "I heard that Durmstrang's students didn't use magic wands in the past few years. I saw her yesterday and she really lived up to her reputation." She is really good at chatting, and she seems to be able to find topics anytime, anywhere.

Blanc looked at Durmstrang's warrior tenderly, "Mr. Karkaroff, I understand that your school only allows students to use wands in advanced charm classes, is that true?"

"Yes, ma'am. In Advanced Charms and duels," Karkaroff said respectfully. "Also, wands are used by first-year students."

"Can't use wands since second year?" Charlotte asked. Karkaroff nodded. Charlotte then asked, "What if there are students who must use a wand to cast spells correctly?"

"This kind of situation rarely happens, but the professors are very willing to help students in need. I haven't heard of any students left behind because of this. Does Beauxbaton's student wand never leave his body?" Charlotte nodded proudly . Karkaroff smiled softly, "If you're so dependent on your wand, what if it gets lost or damaged?"

"Buy another one," Charlotte said naturally. "What if this wand was maliciously damaged by someone, and the wizard is in danger, and it's too late to get a new wand, what should I do?" Charlotte seemed to be asked, her pretty eyebrows slightly frowned. wrinkle. Karkaroff continued, "I think our curriculum is designed to prevent that from happening."

"That's right, that's it." Bergstrm immediately agreed, obviously satisfied with his student's answer, "I would recommend Beauxbatons and Hogwarts to adopt a similar teaching policy." He said smoothly, "It's all In order to cultivate students' ability to respond to crises." Blanc said nothing, but Albus nodded, "It makes sense." He said sincerely.Grindelwald on the opposite side raised his eyes to look at him, but Albus didn't pay attention, just turned his head to look at his student, "What do you think, Mr. Voldemort?"

Riddle finished eating early, and had been listening to the others chatting silently. "I think it's a good suggestion." He agreed, "My friend just transferred to Durmstrang this semester, and he said that this kind of wandless training has benefited him a lot." The dark wizard sitting opposite the two Squinting his eyes, he looked at Albus and Riddle with interest.

"Actually, Hogwarts is also considering extending wandless magic to lower grades." Deputy Headmaster Dumbledore continued, "Maybe we can refer to some teaching regulations of your school." He looked at Bergstrm modestly and slightly expectantly , the latter was visibly taken aback by his friendliness.

Bergstrm was still trying to figure out whether the other person meant something, but Grindelwald spoke first, "That's a really good idea, Albus, it's just wonderful." His magnetic voice was full of tenderness, "I heard that Huo Gewarts's curriculum is very advanced, it must be the schedule you designed. Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, and Hogwarts are the three best wizarding schools in Europe-in ​​terms of system and experience, they must be There are many places where we can refer to each other and learn from each other. Wouldn’t it be a good thing if professors and students can have more opportunities to communicate and learn from each other? Why don’t we take this opportunity to carry out some exchange projects on a regular basis? Not only for the convenience of teaching system and content It is also conducive to promoting the younger generation to have a more comprehensive understanding of the wizarding world, isn't it?"

Yo. Riddle raised an eyebrow inwardly.When it was true and sincere, every reason was so high-sounding that it was irrefutable - although Merlin knew that Grindelwald was not some kind of philanthropist who advocated friendly exchanges between young people.Sure enough, after the black wizard spoke, the long table fell silent again. Bergstrm seemed even more disconnected, seemingly unable to discern the overtones of his opponent or whether his own words meant something.

"You're right, Mr. Grindelwald." In the end, Albus spoke first, staring at the dark wizard sitting directly opposite him with soft blue eyes, "This will be a forum to promote exchanges and cooperation between the UK and continental Europe." Great opportunity. I sincerely hope that the war in Europe will end as soon as possible, so that our students can come and study as they please."

"Soon." Grindelwald also looked at the other party tenderly, and even smiled, "Soon, Albus. I think next semester, I can start." He took a sip of coffee and didn't continue the topic Meaning.The others at the table were silent, and no one continued to eat fruit or drink tea.

"So, please forgive me?" Bergstrm took advantage of the gap to glance at his watch, "I'm going to host a faculty meeting at a quarter past nine."

Before getting up, he reminded the student council president beside him again, "Dragan, please take Miss Malfoy and Mr. Voldemort to familiarize yourself with the library and other campus facilities. If you have any needs, the door of my office will be open at any time. Dem Strong wishes you all a great stay and good luck!"
