The Last Goodbye

Letter..." Albus also stared straight at him, his blue eyes gleamed like Valyrian forged steel, imbued with elven magic, "...I just started, but your wand Don't listen to me.It likes you so much that it doesn't want to hurt you.It's just a piece of wood in my hand. "

Grindelwald's eyebrows twitched, but then his smile widened, his eyes flickered, and he changed back to the evil black swan in an instant, "Is it that it doesn't want to hurt me, or you don't want to hurt me?" Me?" He said sarcastically, "It has never let me down. Why is it not working when it is in your hands?" His tone couldn't have been more mocking and arrogant, and his face-changing speed was faster than turning the pages of a book. quick.You can't imagine that he is the same person as the tender and tender man just now.

"I won't break it rudely, but you don't want to take it away." His enemy clenched the weapon in his hand, "If it is destined to rely on wandless magic to win or lose with you, I will accompany you in the end."

"Go on?" Grindelwald looked at him with a smile, "Even if you don't look at my injuries, you have to look at yourself. If we take another move, we will lose blood and die. You Are you in a hurry to die in love with me, little bird?"

"I thought you would cry because of my heartbreak." Albus twitched his lips sarcastically, "It seems that was a bluff?"

"You still don't allow me to bluff before the duel? There's really no law of the king." Grindelwald suddenly stretched out his hand, and Albus immediately let the light knife protect his wand.He held it so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.But Grindelwald just picked up a strand of his long hair from the ruins and watched it pass through his hands carefully, reflected in a mysterious deep purple by the indigo ruins and the cold silver moon.

"... more beautiful than in my dream." He murmured.

'I'm curious. '

'Little cat, your greatest weakness is that you are too curious. '

'But I'm really curious, why are you in a bad mood? '

'I'm not in a bad mood. '

'You can't say you're in a good mood when you're drinking alone at home. '

'Are you sure you want to discuss this when I unbind my soul? '

' I won't have a chance to ask after it's over. '

'If I can shut you up, I've had a nightmare. '

'What did you dream about? '

'nothing dealing with you. '

'Tell me, maybe I can enlighten you? '

'You enlighten me?snort.Then tell me, how do you convince someone to come to you willingly? '

'Well, you stumped me. '

'Then shut up. '

'But why don't you go to him?Our Gryffindor motto is: Be proactive, be the first to strike. '

…………

Grindelwald laughed suddenly, and the people under him looked at him inexplicably. Albus suspected that his enemy might have lost a lot of blood and was in a trance.The dark wizard glanced at the weapon against his neck, then met those blue eyes again, "Look, little bird. You now have three choices. Continue to hold this position with me until the others come to us , anyway, I am not afraid of being misunderstood by anyone. Or you can continue to protect that log and use wandless magic to compete with me. I guess we will all die here in a short time. Or, it is also the one I hope you choose the most , we have a truce, even if it is a tie. I allow you to take me to the International Court of Justice. As I said, there is no point in winning or losing between you and me. This is just a battle. You won me, it is not necessarily can win this war.”

"That third option doesn't sound like it would do you any good."

"I have no choice. You have been refusing to come to me, so I have to condescend and go to you."

His blue eyes looked at him suspiciously.The two were so close that Grindelwald could see that the other was discerning his words with great care and attention.It turns out that every word I said and everything I did, did he think so seriously?He's just too cute to kiss.The black wizard thought happily.

"Let go of me first." The enemy said after thinking. Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, and the whip that was holding the opponent's lifeblood disappeared without a trace.

"Get off me too, please."

"With all due respect, Birdie, you're crushing my neck."

Very cautiously, his enemy removed his hand very slowly.

Grindelwald stood up with difficulty, staggering with his hands on his knees, "I said... would you mind giving it back to me so I can stop the bleeding or something?"

"I mind." Albus also tried his best to support his body.He looked even tattered than the other party, and the blood-stained gray-white robe hung messily on him.Still, he clutched the Elder Wand tightly.Judging by his appearance, even if the other party had said all the sweet words, he would never touch the Elder Wand.

"So we have to walk back to the castle like this? I'm a Dark Lord anyway. I'd rather you give me a good time if you ask me to meet people in this image."

"Then you sit here. I don't mind going back alone."

"........."

They looked at each other unwillingly, but the stalemate did not last long.

A bird song pierced the night sky.

The two people who hadn't recovered from the duel reflexively opened their defenses.A crack suddenly exploded not far away, and in the tumbling heat wave and golden flames, Phoenix left several people behind.The most responsive of those present was Dumbledore's bird.It fell back to its master's shoulder in an instant, and big and big tears sprinkled on Albus's bloody wound.

Fawkes yelled at Grindelwald angrily.

Then the scene became chaotic.

"Credence! Credence, stop—!"

"Let me go! Let me kill him! I'm going to kill him!"

"Wait a moment--!"

The surrounding air shook violently, and the figure stopped by Newt drew out strands of black mist.

Once again Fawkes was ahead of everyone else.

It suddenly left its master, landed on the shoulder of the dark wizard, covered him with its gorgeous wings, and barked at Credence threateningly.

Everyone else froze in disbelief, including the bird's owner of course.

"Credence, calm down..." Newt reassured softly, "The Elder Wand is in Albus' hands - Grindelwald has lost. We're going to force him to the International Court of Justice, he can't escape..." Credence gripped his shirt hard , staring at the enemy in the distance with bloodshot eyes, suddenly took a deep breath, turned into a black mist, and left this place of right and wrong. Newt glanced at Albus inquiringly, and chased Obscurial away after he nodded his head.The black wizard smiled gratefully at the Phoenix on his shoulder.He probably wanted to touch it, but Phoenix avoided his hand in disgust, and pecked it angrily, then flew back to the shoulder of the master, continuing its diligent treatment.

Now only two of the intruders remained.

Harry hugged Alphard silently, sitting on the ruins not far away.They have been silent since they came here, and they have not even moved. Albus walked over quickly, bent down to sniff the body held by the young man, then sat down sadly, and put his arms around the young man's shoulders.Green eyes lifted at last, and they looked sadly at Dumbledore.

"Professor, we...we didn't catch up..."

Harry blinked, tears streaming uncontrollably from his eyes.He stared at Dumbledore for a while and then suddenly turned his head, glaring fiercely at the fourth person not far away.After a while, the young man said three words bluntly.

"……you win."

There was nothing that could be called joy on Grindelwald's face.He walked towards the other people, and every time he took a step, blood dripped from the corner of his robe, leaving a zigzag streak of red on the ruins.He finally walked in front of them, knelt down on one knee, and reached out to the corpse in Harry's arms. "Don't touch him!" Harry yelled angrily, but was stopped by the man with his arms around him.

Grindelwald didn't say much, just opened the corpse's clenched fist.

A golden key lay inside.

He handed it to his silent old friend beside him, "I installed Alphard in the Ministry of Magic. Spencer-Moon has everything I need in the drawer... now it's all yours. Albus, I have already taken a step towards you. Can you please take a step towards me?"

Dumbledore didn't answer, and didn't have to.

Because after saying this, Grindelwald fell into a pool of blood.
