[GGAD] Adherent

Albus watched the "big golden bird" slowly approaching him, and when Grindelwald stood in front of him, he didn't know how to react.

The thin lips parted slightly, and before Albus could speak, Grindelwald covered his lips with his fingers.Albus's hand was held, and he heard Grindelwald whisper in his ear, "Don't ask anything, just follow me to a place first."

Albus followed him without thinking, the two of them didn't speak a word along the way, he could only feel the warmth from his palms and his fluster of not knowing what to do.

Grindelwald led himself through the deep forest, and his old wand ignited a light to illuminate the way ahead for the two of them.Albus looked at Grindelwald's side face through the faint peripheral vision, and the throbbing in his heart when he was young seemed to be revived.

It was terrible.

Albus turned his head away, trying to keep his attention from Grindelwald, so that he didn't know that the person who was leading him stopped, and slammed his head into the other's back.

"Albus." Grindelwald called his name, "Look here."

Hearing this, Albus raised his head. At some point, the two of them had already reached the top of the mountain. Looking around, a trickle slowly flowed through the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. It is so quiet.

"Gellert, what did you bring me here for?" Albus asked.

"Are you coming to me to accept it?" Grindelwald asked instead without answering.

Albus took a deep breath, he didn't answer right away, but raised his head slightly to look directly into the other's eyes.

"I have no choice," said Albus.

"It doesn't matter."

Albus smiled, not knowing what Grindelwald's words meant, he frowned, always calculating in his mind how to take the next step as before.

"Gellert, even if we get back together, we won't be able to go back to the past." Albus spoke clearly, and Grindelwald could hear what he meant.

He will no longer love someone with all his heart and soul like before.

Albus said again: "I finally figured it out now, maybe the sentence you firmly believe in is right, for the greater good."

Grindelwald listened quietly, without saying a word.

"For the greater good, sometimes I have to give up my small interests, and love is a part of this small interest." Albus said lightly, "Gellert, only young people can feel love, we It's time to rest. You have lived a new life, so it's possible that your mind has changed back?"

"If Aberforth sees you like this, he'll call you old again," Grindelwald said.

Albus smiled: "In seven or eighty years, he will be such a bad old man, with a very bad temper."

Grindelwald fell silent, he looked at Albus with deep eyes, if he could, he would like to raise his wand and shout "forget it all" at Albus's head, leaving only him Great memories of that summer.

He admitted that he had been devastated after hearing so much of what Albus had said to him.His last letter hadn't been sent, and Albus naturally didn't know that he had expressed his repentance and love for him deeply when he was in Nurmengard.

The mighty Dark Lord waited for Voldemort's arrival in the dark prison. Holding the returned letter, he was fully expecting Voldemort's Avada Kedavra to strike him.

Dark wizards also know how to love. Grindelwald spent his whole life and woke up at the last moment of his life. Unfortunately, he didn't tell Albus what he realized.

"Gellert, I promise you." Albus said, took out his wand, and at the same time raised his left hand and asked, "Blood oath, do you need to make a new one?"

"No hurry." Grindelwald said, "As a celebration, I have another compound gift I want to give you."

Albus was taken aback: "Didn't you bring me to see the night scene?"

"There is something more exciting than the night scene." After finishing speaking, Grindelwald pointed to the giant tree behind them, and Albus looked in the direction of his finger, a huge bird's nest looming hidden among the leaves.

Curious, Albus pointed at the bird's nest with his wand and recited the Flying Curse. The next second, the bird's nest on the tree rose into the air and flew towards his hand quickly.

It's normal to have a bird's nest, but what if there is a fiery red feather lying in the bird's nest?

With a shake of his hand, Albus knew exactly what it was: the tail feathers of the phoenix Fawkes.

"Fox!" As Grindelwald expected, Albus suddenly became excited. He didn't expect to reunite with Fox so soon. In terms of loyalty, no one can surpass this one who has been with him for countless days and nights. The red phoenix is ​​gone, including the old lover in front of him.

Grindelwald said: "I stumbled across the nest last month and I haven't seen a second phoenix in the world except Fox."

"Where is he then?" Albus asked hastily.

Grindelwald shook his head: "I've been waiting here for a month, and I haven't even seen half of Phoenix Shadow."

"Thank you very much." Albus's tone was full of rare relief, "At least now that I have reunited with Fox's tail feather, the day of seeing him in person must not be far away."

Grindelwald didn't know where Albus's confidence came from, but after thinking about it, he found that he was being polite to himself in his words, and felt that it shouldn't be like this, so he felt inexplicably upset, and his face turned cold instantly.

But Albus didn't know it, he just thought it was Grindelwald's usual attempt to spoil the atmosphere.In fact, it happened several times, just like in the past, the last letter had a good chat, and the next one suddenly began to sneer at himself and Albus seemed to be used to it, he ignored Grindelwald's expression, He silently put Fox's tail feathers into his coat pocket.

"Where's Flamel?" Albus asked again. "Can you take me to him tonight?"

Although Grindelwald's expression was very unpleasant, the matter between Lemay and Fox still made him full of hope for the days to come.Grindelwald nodded, turned around and took Albus back. On the way back, Albus was not the same as when he came. He looked around and saw bursts of light coming from the depths of the woods, bit by bit. Yes, it will move.

"Have we been here before?" Albus added after finishing speaking, "I said before, did we come here to see fireflies?"

"You have a good memory." Grindelwald praised.

"I put all those memories in the Pensieve, and I occasionally read them as scripts." Albus explained, "Not only that, but there are many other things. In fact, sometimes too much of myself is in my head. They can't be sorted out."

The two stopped at the same time, and Albus looked at the patch of fireflies thoughtfully.Grindelwald asked him, "Do you want to go in and have a look?"

"No." Albus refused. "Just look here and leave them alone. Summer is leaving, and they won't live long."

Grindelwald stayed beside him quietly, and after only a few seconds of watching, Albus took steps to leave.

"What are your plans for the future?" Albus asked, walking ahead, "Are you going to be your revolutionary again? You are now a student who was expelled from Durmstrang."

"Not necessarily." Grindelwald gave an ambiguous answer, maybe, maybe not.He thought for a while, and added another sentence: "You are just a student who just graduated from Hogwarts and a new professor, Headmaster Dumbledore."

Albus thought he would say yes without hesitation, but there was even a hint of hesitation in such a low tone, which made Albus feel that it was not Grindelwald's style.

He was still thinking about the meaning of the second half of Grindelwald's sentence. At this moment, the other party suddenly quickened his pace, and the two walked side by side unknowingly.

"There are too many uncontrollable factors on this road." Grindelwald said, "Even if we want to go, it will not be exactly the same as before. Some lessons that should be learned still have to be learned."

"What lesson?"

"a lot of."

Albus heard that the other party didn't want to go deeper into the topic, so he stopped asking.The night in Godric's Hollow was very quiet, with a gust of wind blowing, they seemed to be surrounded by the rustling of leaves.He followed Grindelwald back to Bagshot's house, Bagshot happened to be buried in an upstairs bedroom writing an article, and Albus visited downstairs, thinking he had better not bother her.

At this time, a soft greeting came from behind the two of them. Albus looked back, and there was an old man with white hair and a kind face standing at the door of the kitchen. He was holding the other with one hand, He poked his head to look at where the two of them were.

The old man was wearing a white robe, and his gait was a bit strange when he walked, probably because of his bad legs and feet.He looked tall, but a little thin, but it was just as Albus remembered him.

That's Nick Flamel.

"Mr. Grindelwald." Flamel smiled and said respectfully, "This is..."

Grindelwald nodded, and Albus stepped forward and stretched out his hand. As dignified and generous as before, he stepped forward to say hello: "Albus Dumbledore."

"Nick Flamel." Flamel stretched out his bony hand and held it back. "Mr. Dumbledore, have we met somewhere? Just call me Flamel."

Before Albus could figure out how to answer, Flamel opened his mouth again: "Mr. Grindelwald said that we must be able to chat very well. Now that I see you, I really feel like friends at first sight."

"Maybe..." Ah Bu thought for a while, and withdrew his hand from Le May. He smiled lightly, and said as if joking, "Maybe we have met before."
