[GGAD] Adherent

Dumbledore was sleepless.

He tossed and turned in his bed, not knowing where Grindelwald would go after he left his house.

His aunt's house?

Or to find clues to the Deathly Hallows?

His mind was in a mess, and he didn't fall asleep until three or four in the morning.When the early sun shone in through the curtains the next day, the dust in the air was still falling little by little, Albus yawned under the quilt, reluctantly half propped himself up and rubbed Rubbing the still hazy eyes.

He had to get up, today was his first day teaching at Hogwarts, so he couldn't be late.

Thinking of this, he struggled to get up.He found a brand new suit from the closet, put it on in front of the mirror, then went downstairs into the kitchen, spent more than 20 minutes helping Aberforth and Ariana prepare breakfast, led the The briefcase hurried out of the house.

The weather outside is good, with a few white clouds like cotton candy scattered in the blue sky.Albus's home was located in the middle of Godric's Hollow, surrounded by mountains, he went out and walked a few miles, turned a corner, crossed a stream, and a small wooden house appeared in front of him.

That was the home of Bathilda Bagshot.

When passing by, Bagshot just came out of the house, and she saw Albus greet him warmly: "Good morning."

Albus replied, "Good morning, Bagshot."

"I heard you were appointed by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Bagshot asked. "That's a good place."

Albus replied "yes" with a smile. He glanced at the watch in his hand and said badly to himself that he was going to be late, so he hurriedly said goodbye to Bagshot.

Seeing the back of Albus leaving, Bagshot stopped him again, the woman looked at him kindly, and said leisurely: "My nephew is staying with me these two days, his name is Gellert Grindelwald, I think you will have a very good chat."

Albus was taken aback for a moment, then recovered his normal expression, and replied calmly: "I'll definitely come when I'm free."

At eight o'clock in the morning, Albus Dumbledore started his teaching career on time, just as he had done for the last hundred years, teaching students Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

He didn't act like a new teacher at all, and he was able to teach with ease on the podium, and he was immediately unanimously recognized by the students.

After class, when passing the principal's office, Albus suddenly felt a little dazed. He remembered the old days, the monster stone statue at the door of his office, and the phrase "sour soda" when he opened the office.Thinking about it, he suddenly chuckled.

"Albus Dumbledore?" At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from behind him, "I remember you."

Albus looked back to see Phineas Nigellus Black standing behind him.

"Headmaster," Albus replied respectfully.

"Want to come in and sit down?" Phineas asked, pointing to the office behind him.

Involuntarily, Phineas opened the office door, and Albus followed him in, and the teapot in front of him automatically poured him a glass of water after sitting on the sofa.

"How was your first day coaching?" Phineas asked.

Albus replied, "Not bad."

Phineas picked up the teacup on the desk and slowly sipped it. After a long while, he said: "I heard that the Transfiguration and Charms you took when you graduated last year shocked the examiner. Lanffindor House is proud of you."

Albus smiled and did not answer. He knew that Phineas always hated those self-righteous young people. He respected this headmaster, but at the same time he had doubts about some of his ideas.

"It seems that you also know a lot about black magic?" Phineas asked again.

Albus nodded: "There has been research."

Phineas raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the young man in front of him.He took out a chocolate frog from the desk drawer, held it in his hand and asked Albus, "Do you want to eat?"

Albus instinctively prepared to refuse, but nodded after hesitating.Phineas threw the Chocolate Frog at him, and it landed right in Albus's palm. Albus thanked him and bid farewell to the Headmaster, thinking he still had things to do.

The first day at school passed so quickly that Albus didn't realize it was long past time to go home until he was done with what he was doing.Thinking of Aberforth staring at him and nagging non-stop after returning home, Albus frowned and shook his head helplessly.

After sorting out his information, he left Hogwarts and returned to Godric's Hollow with Apparition.On the way home, he still passed Bagshot's cabin, thinking whether to go in and say hello, but Bagshot came out in a hurry, and the two happened to meet each other.

"Good evening." Albus greeted proactively, "What are you going to do tonight?"

"Gellert hasn't been back all day," Bagshot said.

Albus was taken aback, he didn't expect that Grindelwald really didn't go home as he thought.He followed Bagshot into the deep forest and asked as he walked, "Do you know where he usually goes?"

Bagshot shook his head: "When Godric first came to him, he liked to hang around."

That's him looking for the whereabouts of the Deathly Hallows.

Albus said to himself, he searched with Bagshot for a while, but Grindelwald was still nowhere to be seen.Seeing that it was getting late, Bagshot also knew that there was a younger brother and sister waiting for him at home, so he hurriedly urged Albus to go back.

The moment he pushed open the door, just as he thought, Aberforth came over and gave him a dissatisfied look.Before Aberforth could speak bitterly, Albus answered first, "I'm going to help Bagshot find her nephew."

"She has grandnephews?" Aberforth asked.

"Yeah," Albus replied, "that's... Grindelwald, you met yesterday."

"It seems that you are really close."

Albus didn't know how to answer, and looked a little embarrassed.One thing he was sure of was that Aberforth was getting a little angry, as angry as ever that he wasn't thinking about home at all.

"Whenever you can pay more attention to Anna." After finishing speaking, Aberforth turned and went upstairs without looking back.

Albus had always felt that he was incompetent as an older brother, and his love for Ariana would always be worse than Aberforth's, both then and now.Today, he is already working very hard to make up for the love he gave them less in the past, why does Aberforth still have such an expression that is so out of tune with him?

He couldn't figure it out, and sighed deeply.

At night, Albus sat at his desk in his bedroom, his wand up and lighting up the room with fluorescent flashes.Under the light, he slowly took out the chocolate frog Phineas gave him from his pocket.

When it was opened, the chocolate frog jumped onto the window sill while he was not paying attention. Albus watched it and was about to catch it, but the next second his attention was attracted by the card attached inside.

On the card is a portrait of Merlin, and on the back is written the story of Merlin's life.

There is no Albus Dumbledore on the Chocolate Frog card now, and Albus is a little disappointed, remembering that being able to see his name on the card in the past was the most glorious and proud thing in his life.

Because only on that card can he appear in the same frame as Grindelwald.

By accident, Albus found a piece of paper of similar material from the drawer, and he cut the end of the paper to the same size according to Merlin's card.Evacuating the place where his portrait should have been printed on the front, Albus took out a pen, and carefully wrote on the back the line that he could recite back and forth: Defeat the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in [-].

After writing, he held up the card with satisfaction, and carefully admired it against the light.He thought it was not bad, so he thought about how to add his own photo.

Just as he recalled the card in his memory, suddenly the light in the room disappeared, and the card that was originally in his hand flew away from his hand with a spell.

Albus looked up sharply to where the card flew away, and he saw a familiar figure squatting on the windowsill.

"Gellert." Albus knew who the man was without seeing his face. "What are you doing here?"

Grindelwald said, "Aren't you looking for me?"

"When did this happen?"

"In the evening," Grindelwald said again, "I went back once, Bagshot told me."

As he said that, Grindelwald's gaze fell on the card in his hand, and Albus subconsciously wanted to reach out to hide it, but suddenly Grindelwald raised his wand and said "All petrified" to him, and he couldn't move immediately .

Only when Grindelwald looked at the entire card carefully did Albus move.Grindelwald's eyes were a little deep. He looked at Dumbledore and asked, "Since you said that you let him pass the past, what does this card mean?"

"It means to keep it reminding me that I can't fall twice in the same pit." Without thinking, Albus took his card back and stuffed it back into the box along with the chocolate frog.

He relits the room and sees Grindelwald's troubled young face again.Albus asked, "You came here because of what Bagshot said?"

"No."

"Then what else do you have?"

"Let's continue with yesterday's topic." After finishing speaking, Grindelwald jumped into the room, found a chair in the room and sat down, raised his legs and looked at Dumbledore with his eyes.

Albus didn't answer him, but instead asked him, "Where have you been all day?"

Grindelwald didn't answer either, just simply playing with the wand in his hand.Albus followed his gaze to Grindelwald's hand, and he couldn't help but tremble when his gaze fell on the wand.

That's the Elder Wand.
