"Albus was at my house and met my nephew, Gellert Grindelwald. Bathilda sighed.

"Grindelwald?" Harry thought of the Dumbledore card he had obtained in the Chocolate Frog - defeating the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945.

"That's right, my nephew is the one Albus defeated in the future, the Dark Wizard Grindelwald who almost swept Europe. But at the time he was just a naughty kid with a cranky mind. ”

"That sounds ironic, Ms. Bathilda. "But why did Grindelwald come to Godric's Hollow? ”

"Two reasons. The first was that Gellert had nowhere to go at the time. Although he was also a talented child, he was not a model student like Albus, and he was passionate about the study of the dark arts. He was so fanatical about the dark arts that Durmstrang, who had always been more indulgent in the dark arts, ordered him to take a break from school, so he chose to go out and relax. As for the second, Godric's Hollow is a centuries-old wizarding area, home to many ancient families and dark arts - I'm sure you've seen it in the wizarding graveyard, haven't you?"

Bathilda turned her head to Silver, "I can feel that you have inflicted heavy damage on that raven in the graveyard, and she is full of hatred for you. ”

"I don't want to do it if she's willing to be reasonable. Silver smirked.

"Anyway, Gellert came to visit my uncle. Albus became acquainted with him, and the friendship between the two talented young men began to emerge from that negativity. ”

"Yes, they have been talking about it all day long since they met—two brilliant young men, and they have seen each other late—and I have often heard owls flying in and out of Gellert's window, and it must have been a correspondence with Albus! he must have had some new idea, and he couldn't wait to share it with Gellert. I have here a letter from Albus to him, which I can read to you. ”

Bathilda pulled out a piece of old-looking letterhead from a small box on the table.

Gellert –

I think your view that wizarding rule is "for the good of Muggles themselves" is a key point. Yes, we are empowered, and there is no doubt that this power allows us to make the rules, but it also requires us to have a sense of responsibility for the rules. We must emphasize this, it is the cornerstone of our cause. When we have a conflict of opinion - there must be, it has to be the basis of our debate. We need to hold fast to the belief that "for great good works." From this point of view, if we encounter resistance in the future, we will simply use force to suppress it and nothing else, and it is necessary. (That's the mistake you made in Durmstrang!) But I won't blame you, because if you weren't fired, we'd never know each other.) ）

Albus

"I intercepted the letter. I wondered what it was that these two young people had to keep up all night discussing, and I saw that, and I realized what was going on in the minds of these two kids, who were thinking about how they could get the power to rule the world -- I really didn't think that they would grow up to that point. ”

But just two months after their new friendship, Albus and Gellert parted and never saw each other again, and their reunion was the world-famous duel of the century. I guess it was the accident that changed their relationship. ”

"What accident?" Ron asked.

"Ariana is dead, I don't know exactly how she died. All I know is that there was a fierce quarrel between Albus, Gellert and Aberforth, and then a duel ensued—Ariana died. ”

Bathilda said. "Her death was a heavy blow. Gellert ran to my room trembling and told me that he wanted to go home to-morrow. He looked very sad. So I gave him the key to the port, and that was the last time I saw him. Then at Ariana's funeral, Aberforth breaks the bridge of Albus's nose. I think it's because of guilt that Albus hasn't repaired the bridge of his nose. Albus became more silent, Aberforth became more grumpy - for their brothers, they had lost all their relatives except each other, and blaming each other became an emotional bond. ”

Bathilda rubbed her reddened eyes.

"And Lady Bathilda, do they talk about how they became immortal besides talking about what was written in the letter?" asked Silver, "I think it's a great temptation for young wizards as well. ”

"Immortality is an irresistible temptation for any wizard, and Jack, your great-grandfather was keen on it. You're right, of course they're interested in overcoming death. I remember Gellert being so excited one night that he told me that he had found a tool to defeat death......" (to be continued......
