[GGAD] Adherent

"Gellert, what would you do if I wanted to say no?"

Grindelwald did not expect Dumbledore to say such a thing, and things were completely beyond his imagination.When planning this matter, he thought that Dumbledore would agree without hesitation, and he also thought that the other party would show surprise. The only thing he didn't consider was that Dumbledore would reject him, because he was sure that he would The other party still has a place in his heart.

"Think about it," Grindelwald said.

"I haven't decided yet, so I'm asking you now." Dumbledore repeated, "Did you not leave me with a choice? If I said 'no', you would come up with another What kind of things are trying to make things difficult for me?"

Silence between the two has become the norm. After a while, Grindelwald opened his mouth and said, "Two months, I will give you two months. If you agree, then come to my aunt's house to see Flamel. I will send him back in person in a few months."

Grindelwald left after speaking, his back was as panicked as when he fled Godric's Hollow.Albus picked up Grindelwald's goblet on the table and drank the remaining sip of whiskey in it.

It had been a long time since he had drunk, his mouth, including his heart, was so hot that he clenched his fists tightly.

Albus admitted that the moment Grindelwald opened his mouth to ask for reunion, he wavered.He knew that as long as those two months remained in his memory, he would never be able to separate himself from Grindelwald.But he also understands that the essence of agreeing and not agreeing has not changed anything, and the relationship between the two can no longer be as close as it was when they were young.

He instinctively wanted himself to forget about it. For more than a month, Albus had been forcing himself to focus on Aberforth, waiting for him at the bedroom door before going to work, and waiting for him in Hogsmeade after get off work. The village blocked him.Aberforth seemed to have expected it, and always avoided him on purpose. He didn't want to continue the unnutritive and fruitless conversation with his selfish brother.

Gradually, Albus realized that this matter should not be rushed, and haste makes waste, so he gave up the idea of ​​persuading Aberforth in a short time.

Albus didn't know what Grindelwald helped Aberforth, and his younger brother's hostility towards the former Dark Lord actually subsided bit by bit.Sometimes at the dinner table, Aberforth would insinuate him about Grindelwald.

But after Albus thought about it, it was not difficult for Aberforth to change his mind based on Grindelwald's mouth that could bring the dead to life.What's more, Grindelwald is so familiar with the two brothers, not to mention Aberforth, even he was almost bewitched by him sometimes, such as the time at the Pig's Head Bar.

Thinking of this, Aberforth, who was sitting across from him, looked at Albus again and asked, "Why hasn't that Grindelwald come to see you recently?"

"Is that why you want him to come?" Albus was puzzled, "What did he promise you?"

"You don't have to know that."

In recent days, the name Grindelwald has come out of the mouths of the two brothers more and more times. Arianna is a little curious, who can make them so interested. Although she doesn't say it, she has always wanted to see this human side.After dinner, she returned to her bedroom. Arianna has always had the habit of writing a diary. She slowly opened her drawer and took out a sheepskin notebook from it.

Most of the book has been written, and most of it is about daily trifles, such as the day she and Aberforth milked the goat together, and the other day Aberforth and Aberforth had troubles with Albus, but most of these troubles were hers. The second brother provoked it.Compared with her second brother, the eldest brother Albus has a much better temper.

She pulled out a black fountain pen from the pen holder, uncapped it and set it aside.Arianna's handwriting is very neat, and there is a sense of delicacy at first glance.

In the middle of writing, a reflection suddenly appeared on the window of Anna's room. She was startled and raised her head suddenly.Anna got up slowly, and she saw an owl standing on her window sill, staring at her with piercing eyes.

How could anyone write to her?

Arianna was puzzled, and stretched out her hands to receive the letter.The letter was wrapped in a very delicate envelope, and the sealing area was stained with wax, which showed that the writer attached great importance to this letter.

She opened the envelope carefully, and the letter paper inside was also a very high-end type at that time. Ariana was a little surprised, and the fancy font on the paper made her eyes dazzled all of a sudden.

But what shocked her the most was the beginning of the letter, where there were a few big words: Darling Albus.

Anna's hand trembled, she didn't expect the owl to send the letter to the wrong person, it was from her elder brother, and it was sent to him by Albus' lover.

Since when did Albus have someone he likes?Ariana had never heard him talk about it, but thinking about it now, Albus seemed to be a different person from a year ago, and he was a little deep, although it was not obvious, but she still noticed it.

Even though she knew what she was doing was immoral, Anna still couldn't hold back herself, and her curiosity drove her to take in every word of what was said in the letter.There is only a short sentence in the letter, but it is full of deep thoughts between the lines:

why don't you come?I have been waiting for you.

—Gellert Grindelwald

With trembling hands, Ariana stuffed the letter back into the envelope, which she quickly pushed to the bottom of her drawer.Anna was a little agitated, and suddenly felt that the magic power in her body was tending to go berserk. She panted heavily, as if she was trying very hard to suppress the impulse in her body.

She cried out in pain, and without paying attention, Anna fell off the chair.The movement in the room alarmed the two brothers downstairs, and soon there was a rush of footsteps and knocks outside the door. Seeing that there was no response from inside, Albus outside the door immediately raised his wand and said, "Alah Huodong opened!"

Arianna was lying on the floor, curled up, trembling all over, and just as Albus took a step, Aberforth stopped him.Albus didn't insist on going forward, he knew that when Anna fell ill, it would be useless for anyone to go up to comfort her except Aberforth.

Fortunately, Aberforth was very useful in comforting her, and I was also glad that Aberforth was at home at this time. Anna quickly returned to normal. Aberforth carried her to the bed and patted her gently again and again. Anna's back.

"Anna, what's going on?" Aberforth asked, "Why did you suddenly get sick?"

Arianna quietly glanced at Albus who was standing at the door, then fell silent for a while, pretending not to see anything and shaking her head: "I don't know either."

How can you get sick without anything?

Aberforth frowned, praying in his heart, hoping that it wasn't that Anna's condition continued to worsen.He and Albus stayed with Anna in the room for a while, and after Anna's condition stabilized and comforted her, the two slowly exited her bedroom and gently closed the door behind her.

The two brothers stopped at the same time at the stairs, and Aberforth knew that he had something to say, so he stood behind Albus and waited for him to speak.

"I..." said Albus, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone, "I may know the way to cure Anna."

"You know why you didn't say it sooner?" Aberforth demanded.

"Because I'm not sure," Albus replied. "No one has tried it, and I don't know if it will work."

In short, the method Albus spoke of was risky.

So to cure, or not to cure?

Aberforth also fell into deep thought. He recalled the scene where Anna fell in the room just now, and suddenly felt palpitations.

Aberforth said: "We...can't let her go on like this. It's horrible to have an attack without a trigger...and we don't know when the next attack will happen. , The degree of illness, there is no way to prepare for it.”

Albus raised his head, and he instantly understood what Aberforth meant. A hopeful cure is better than a hopeless delay.

There was already a hint of coolness in the autumn night, and Albus returned to the bedroom and put on a black overcoat for himself.At night, he gently closed the door of the house, and went out when the moon was high and the moonlight was pouring on this beautiful valley.

He didn't use Apparition, nor did he choose to fly with a broomstick. Albus used the most primitive method and walked towards Bagshot's residence.

Godric's Hollow was beautiful at night, but his mind was too messed up to appreciate it.Albus's mind was full of possible scenes, feeling like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

He didn't understand why Grindelwald, who had been talking badly to him, wanted to get back together. Looking back on those previous correspondence, the great war in 1945, and the back of his resolute departure at that time, Albus didn't feel that Grindelwald was treating him There is still half nostalgia.

He believed in the true feelings of those two months, and he also doubted the nearly hundred years of parting ways.

Before approaching Bagshot's house, Albus saw the man on the roof from a distance. The words "big golden bird" flashed in Albus's mind again, and as usual, Grindelwald couldn't take his eyes off him.He stopped and found that the other party was also looking at him.

The owl on Grindelwald's arm suddenly spread its wings, fluttered a few times in place and rose into the air.It flew in the direction of the moon and gradually turned into a small black spot.

After the owl flew away, Grindelwald got up.Albus didn't know if it was his own illusion, he seemed to see the corners of the other party's lips curled up, as if he was sure that he would come over, he smiled confidently.

The author has something to say: some places are related to ggad's correspondence collection, and the sentence Darling Albus is the beginning of one of the letters of the scheming Lao Gai.
