"I know you, Harry Potter, and Severus Snape, one is the Boy Who Lived and the other is a Death Eater, how did you get mixed up?"

"We're Dumbledore's men," Harry whispered.

Grindelwald was stunned, and suddenly laughed: "Don't guess a person's mind at will, it will only make you laugh, whether it is me or Albus."

"Perhaps." Even though Harry answered in this way, his tone was more like another kind of confidence.

"Whether it's self-assessment or instigation, we're here now," Snape said in a deep voice, "that's enough. Or, you want Albus to go there himself."

The old man was silent again, in the cold and dark cell, only the sound of breathing and wind remained.

"He won't."

The year when he was defeated, that person said, never to be seen again.

"Everyone deserves a chance." When he said this, Harry suddenly grabbed Snape's hand and clasped his fingers tightly. This movement was very natural, and Grindelwald certainly saw it, and he squinted. At a glance, his face didn't change much. "You asked us just now, it was 'he' who asked you to come, you knew in your heart that he couldn't let us come, but you still asked, this can only explain one problem, your subconscious hope that you can meet again. "

"I said, don't make random guesses..."

"I heard," Harry interrupted, "I just want to say one thing, if he doesn't come to see you, can't you go to see him? Take this step first and give yourself a chance." So just now He didn't just want to say that sentence to Dumbledore. "No matter what you've been through, 100 years, for many people, that's a lifetime ago."

Just like his last life was only more than 20 years, and Snape only had 37 years, counting this way, it's not just about the previous life.

After a while, Grindelwald said unmoved: "You come here, just want me to withdraw my people?"

"Believe me," Snape said with a hint of disdain in his voice, "we never felt threatened."

"Then why are you here?" Grindelwald obviously didn't believe it, and his tone sank.

"Because, this is what you want, you want to be connected with Albus, and we happen to be that bridge." Harry said confidently, he always believed in the last words that Grindelwald said to Voldemort in his previous life , is protecting Dumbledore's tomb.

That is the last respect and protection for Dumbledore. If the old man has repented of what happened back then, and let the two old men untie their knots, the two will not suffer separately.Even though he thought about not caring about this matter at the beginning, Grindelwald was indeed a variable.

"Whether it is your instigation or not, the actions of the saints cannot escape your acquiescence," Snape analyzed calmly, "Voldemort came to you, you let the saints join his team, but you did not Wanting to win this war means nothing to you anymore." Over 100 years old, already in their dying years, if they really had the original ambition, they would have gone out long ago.

So there is only one explanation.

"But did it ever occur to you that the presence of the Saints would of course get your name in our meeting, but Albus still wouldn't come?"

"Like now?" Grindelwald tried his best to restrain his emotions, not wanting the two young people standing here to see their bitterness and astringency.

"Just think about it for a while, what have you done all these years, the sudden appearance is definitely not for revenge," Snape continued, "But some things, if you don't go further, will always be the same as before. "

"Those things, did Albus tell you?"

That incident had too much impact on the relationship between the two of them. From the moment he fled in fear at the scene of the incident, he regretted it.

I ran away because I cared.

It was just a person's life, even if he left it now, he wouldn't blink, but the one who died was that person's sister.

He was afraid to face that person, even if it was the duel between two people 50 years ago, even if he had the most powerful Elder Wand in his hand, he still lost completely.

"No," said Harry. "We don't know the exact details, but I do know one thing. If you didn't want to see him, you wouldn't talk to us as much."

The cell became quiet again, and then the old man burst out laughing, but that laughter was more like crying, heart-piercing.

"Well, I admit it." Grindelwald surrendered, "You are right, I want to see him, but he doesn't want to see me. But I think since you are here, there should be a way for the two of us to meet. "

"What if I could make him want to see you?" Harry said softly. "Will you leave with us?"

Grindelwald looked at Harry, but there was no movement. "I can't count how many years I've been here. I'm used to the darkness here." He murmured.

"Don't you even have the courage to step out of here?" This is not Harry's aggressive method, "Then you shouldn't do those little tricks in the first place."

The old man stood up slowly, because of the long-term prison life, the old man looked haggard and thin, but for some reason, the moment he stood up, he gave a feeling of hale and hearty, he moved his joints, The shackles on the wrists and ankles clanged, which sounded very terrifying.

Soon, these rusty shackles were thrown directly to the ground.

"As you said just now, if you have a way to make him willing to come to see me, I will immediately ask my people to withdraw."

"I think we made it clear just now," Snape said, "This is not our goal. On the contrary, I hope that the saints will continue to stay by the Death Eaters' side."

This is the first time Grindelwald was slightly surprised, "Huh?"

"At the critical moment, hit the Death Eaters with a rake."

"Interesting." Grindelwald immediately understood Snape's intentions, "As I said at the beginning, it would be terrifying in the future, but there is one thing, he must come to see me voluntarily."

"We will never force him." Harry felt a little funny. For the greater good, Dumbledore is a person who can sacrifice himself, not to mention that what Dumbledore dare not face is Grindelwald's, and Own.

He could feel Dumbledore's looseness last time, and what was lacking now was just a chance.

"Perhaps you should go to the Pig's Head and stay temporarily." Snape said maliciously.

Harry immediately thought of the owner of the Pig's Head Bar, if Grindelwald went to live, would it trigger another duel?

☆☆☆

Grindelwald was willing to leave with the two, but he needed some time to arrange things in Germany, so Harry and Snape ran to the forest in Albania, which was the excuse Snape said to Dumbledore before, This is a primeval forest with very rich products. They found many precious herbs unique to this place, and it is not considered Dumbledore

When they came to the appointed place, they found that the old man had almost changed his appearance.

Years of prison life can indeed toss a person out of human form. The lights were dim that day, and they couldn't see the old man's appearance very clearly, but this time the light was sufficient, and the old man's face looked good. She cut off a head of long gray hair that hadn't been trimmed for a long time. Although she was still thin and her skin was wrinkled, her mental outlook was completely new. It even made people look handsome and handsome when she was young.

This feeling never occurred to Dumbledore, even though he wore tasteless fancy clothes, even if he ate a normal diet, Harry thought, probably because Dumbledore's nose was broken and he didn't fix it. for the sake.

The old man changed out of his prisoner attire and put on an elegant wizard robe. The navy blue made him look white. His height was about the same as that of Dumbledore, even a little taller than Dumbledore. After straightening his waist, This dress can make him look taller.

Harry thought he knew why, even after all these years, so many saints were still so devoted to the old man, and they followed him.

——In fact, this is a world that looks at faces, okay?

"How is it?" Grindelwald was quite satisfied with his attire, but he hadn't seen the sun for so many years, and he was inevitably out of touch with the current fashion in the magic world. To be on the safe side, he chose a more normal dress.

"Very good." But Harry still had reservations, "But I think it might not be to Albus' taste."

The corner of Snape's mouth twitched, "Actually, Albus's taste is different from most people's, and your taste is obviously much more normal than his."

Grindelwald: "..."

In my impression, that person's taste is not too special. Could it be that he was stimulated by something?

"You'll know it when you see him." Harry looked at Grindelwald's weird face and said with a smile.

For some reason, the moment Grindelwald was really willing to go with him, the haze that had been gathering in his heart these days seemed to be suddenly dispelled by the sun, and Harry was in a good mood these two days.For Snape, that was enough.

"I have one more request," Harry said suddenly. "It's my personal request."

"As long as it's not too much, I can think about it." Grindelwald didn't make any demands this time.

"No matter what the outcome is between you and Albus, I hope that on the day we implement our final plan, you can join us in destroying Voldemort." Harry directly invited.

Although the old man has been in prison all these years, judging from the fact that the old man took off the shackles without any tools and the magic power that appeared in the cell at that time, the old man's power can indeed make them even more powerful.

If this person can join them, there is even less need to worry.
