Gellert Grindelwald, like himself, is a prophet Maggs?

Jon had a hard time imagining this fact, but he couldn't doubt it when it came out of Albus Dumbledore's mouth.

"Actually, in the beginning, I didn't know anything about Maggs the Prophets......," Dumbledore said slowly, "until the turn of the spring and summer of 1945, after the duel in Berlin, Gellert dropped his wand and told me the truth...... He told everything and then asked for my forgiveness......"

"But I can't forgive him......" Dumbledore's eyes flashed with tears, and his eyes turned to the painting, "Because of Allen, because of Yousseph...... Also, because Ariana ......"

The girl in the portrait shook her head at Dumbledore slightly.

"You were the one who prevented him from being sentenced to death, did you?" Jon whispered, "I've seen in the Modern History of Magic that Minister Leonard Munn and Mr. Winston Churchill attempted to execute him...... But they were convinced, and in the end, the Dark Wizard Greenwald's sentence was life imprisonment without probation. ”

"There are many other ways to destroy a person than death, more brutally. Dumbledore didn't deny this, but explained lightly.

Jon nodded slightly, and didn't continue to speak.

......

The basement door was violently pushed open, interrupting the conversation between the two of them.

Aberforth Dumbledore barged in, two dirty beer glasses in his hands filled with butterbeer.

He placed two beers heavily on the table, then glanced at Headmaster Dumbledore, who was still sitting cross-legged in front of the painting.

"Don't stain my floor!" Aberforth scolded.

"I understand...... I'll clean up......" Albus Dumbledore replied, wiping tears from her eyes as she sat back down at the table.

Aberforth had already walked out of the basement without looking back, and slammed the door shut.

"My rude and impulsive brother......" Dumbledore sighed as he looked at Aberforth's distant back, "He deserves more admiration and respect than I do!"

"Mr. Dumbledore still trusts and respects you......" Jon said sincerely, "he just isn't good at expressing feelings." ”

"Yes!" Albus Dumbledore smiled, "I almost forgot who you predicted Maggs again, but you should know each other better than we do." ”

......

"Let's start at the beginning...... Dumbledore proposed:

"When I first saw you, it was at the sorting ceremony four years ago...... I didn't pay much attention to you, after all, you were just an ordinary Muggle-born freshman...... Although Godric Gryffindor has always insisted that a Muggle-born wizard is a remarkable talent in his own right......"

"I agree with Mr. Gryffindor!" Jon interjected.

“...... The Sorting Hat told me that you refused to go to Gryffindor and went to Hufflepuff instead!" Dumbledore ignored Jon's interruption and continued to smile, "Forgive an old man for being a little unhappy at the time, and it may be a bit of a boast to say so, because I am from Gryffindor, and in recent years there have usually been a little more students who have chosen to go to Gryffindor on their own initiative......"

"But you are a perfect Hufflepuff, and diligence and integrity are the most evident in you......" Dumbledore gave Jon a meaningful look.

"You started paying attention to me then?" Jon asked, a little surprised.

"Of course ......not," Dumbledore shook his head, "A headmaster can't keep an eye on every student all the time, in my opinion you are just a small grass that grows strongly, but it will take some time to grow in front of me......"

"Later, the monsters in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets appeared...... You've hinted at Miss Weasley's anomaly and the basilisk in a little trick...... I have to say that you did a very clever job and did not let your presence come into view of me, I tried to search the castle for months, but I never expected that the 'culprit' was actually a first-year student, and I even thought it was all a coincidence......"

"If it weren't for Boggart's accident...... I'll probably be kept in the dark all the time. A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face, "When that happened, I understood everything when I thought about it. ”

"To be honest, I was shocked too......" Jon nodded.

......

"You and Gellert are very similar, after all, you have the same talent......" The expression on Dumbledore's face gradually became serious, "Thoughtful, hard enough, and extremely diligent...... But compared to Gellert, you are not so cold and ruthless, you have to be much more upright and kind......"

"Integrity and kindness......" Jon couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Dumbledore to make such an assessment of himself.

"To keep that Slytherin monster from hurting more people...... You've been hinting at the truth to us, you've been trying to guide us, and if we're shrewd enough, there might not be an attack after Lady Loris...... It's just a pity that we were too sluggish at the time. Dumbledore said calmly:

"I don't know what would have happened after that, if it hadn't been for you...... Maybe more students will be attacked, maybe someone will die, maybe I'll really lose my headmick hat, maybe maybe even Hogwarts will close ......"

"You stopped this from happening, Jon. Dumbledore held up the butterbeer, "So now I must salute you, for the courage you have buried in your heart, for your kind and righteous heart!"

"It may be a bit ashamed to say that...... Jon smiled helplessly, "Actually, I'm just trying to protect myself, after all, as a Muggle-born wizard, I can also be attacked by a basilisk at any time...... Under the nest, there will be no eggs. ”

"There are many ways to protect yourself, but you chose the one I like the most. Dumbledore smiled softly, "Of course, there is also the incident of Miss Greengrass, when Miss Greengrass fainted in the Defence Against the Dark Arts class, you looked anxious and concerned......"

"So I was very happy to know that you were a prophetic Magus...... Because I know very well that you are not going to become a second Gellert, even though you are very similar to him. ”
