Throughout the ages, both in the East and the West, people have been particularly keen to rank their strength according to their wins and losses. A strange conclusion derived from this is that it seems that whoever defeats the number one in the world is the new number one in the world.

For example, the midlaners in the popular "League of Legends" are always keen to challenge Faker, and the greatest glory of the men's 100m athlete is to beat Usain Bolt, or Albus Dumbledore......

In fact, Dumbledore understood that he was recognized as the most powerful wizard of the world today, for a simple reason, as he had defeated Gellert Grindelwald, the "former number one" in the wizarding world, head-on.

However, few people have thought carefully about what Gellert Grindelwald, as the "former first person in the wizarding world", relied on to become the insurmountable mountain that stood in front of all wizards.

The answer is simple, because Grindelwald had never lost a one-on-one duel before losing to Dumbledore, and even later it was assumed that it would take at least twenty or more experienced Aurors to take on Grindelwald - after all, it would only take ten wizards to subdue a full-grown fire dragon.

While at Durmstrang, Grindelwald learned all forms of war magic in its entirety, allowing him to match his potential as a confident, focused, organized, and versatile wizard.

Despite being able to wreak havoc using magic, Grindelwald prefers to use the traditional and formal way of confronting his opponents, defeating them with a "fairer fight". Fight back easily with magic, wear down their will, and make them revered of their great power before retaliating.

Grindelwald's strength is obvious: in order to become the master of the Elder Wand, he is able to quickly stun Grigovich. As a young man, he was able to single-handedly duel both Albus and Aberforth Dumbledore. While disguised as Percival Grevis, he won every one-on-one duel, was able to easily subdue Newt Scamander and Tina Goldstein, and even fought several well-trained Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States.

In Dumbledore's opinion, Grindelwald would always be the most powerful and experienced duelist in the world.

And in order to make the white-haired ball, who is always in trouble everywhere and is not at all worrying, grow into a qualified wizard safely and healthily, Dumbledore thinks about it, Grindelwald is undoubtedly the top teacher.

After all, Grindelwald is arguably the most experienced wizard when it comes to dealing with the various powers of the dark arts and the wizarding world.

For Dumbledore, he would rather see the news that Elena had knocked out three seniors by herself than see another situation like "Elena led Hufflepuff to destroy Slytherin".

“...... In short, you don't want to take your precious magical knowledge to the grave, do you? I will never be as good as you in learning magic correctly and efficiently, and how to defend yourself under magic spells and defeat enemies. ”

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald, who had fallen silent, and couldn't help but add another fire.

"Well, what you say seems to make a lot of sense. ”

Grindelwald suddenly raised his head and looked at Dumbledore carefully, his eyes regaining his composure.

"However, there is still a fatal hole in your statement. It's only five days, it's meaningless, no matter how talented she is, she can only popularize the most basic magical knowledge. ”

"I'll bring her here every weekend and holiday after that. And during the school day, you can also teach through letters......" Dumbledore was stunned for a moment, and then replied without thinking.

"Albus!"

Grindelwald straightened his feet, pressed his back against the wall, let out a cold snort of dissatisfaction, and said slowly.

"Do you think I'm too old to tell which of your words you're lying? That answer just now is obviously just a temporary response you came up with. As for your purpose......"

"That's not right!"

Narrowing his eyes thoughtfully, Grindelwald rubbed his chin and a look of annoyance appeared on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, the fundamental purpose of you bastard is to let me help you take care of the child!"

"Absolutely not!" Dumbledore shook his head with a gentle smile.

"Come on, I know you too well. You've never been good at lying, and whenever you're poked, it's this smile. ”

Grindelwald waved his hand mercilessly, looking at the wrinkled old face in front of him, a sudden irritability suddenly surged in his heart for some reason, and his voice was cold.

"What do you think I am here?Hogwarts nursery or nursery?!"

"Gellert ......"

"Get out. Grindelwald said in a cold tone, his finger raised to point out the door.

"Well, well, since you are so resistant, I will not force you anymore. ”

After taking a serious look at Grindelwald's expression, Dumbledore knew that there was indeed no room for relaxation, so he nodded helplessly, took the initiative to compromise, thought about it, and said softly.

"But at least tell that kid a little bit about your old days. You know, since reading your deeds in books, Elena has been particularly interested in the world outside of the British wizarding world, and even suggested that after the fourth grade, she would like to visit the American wizarding world where you used to be active. ”

"Impersonating Percival Graves in the United States?"

The corners of Grindelwald's mouth tugged proudly, revealing a look of pleasant remembrance.

"Yes, those stupid and old-fashioned guys were tricked around by me. If it weren't for Newt's annoying magical beasts, they wouldn't even have the ability to touch the corners of my clothes. ”

For Grindelwald, the experience in the United States is undoubtedly a legendary adventure, and the power of a single person can easily play with the entire Aurors of the wizarding world.

Glancing at Dumbledore in front of him, Grindelwald looked relieved and raised his eyebrows rather smugly.

"Well, I'll agree to grant her wish, and then you'll get her out of here right away. ”

"No problem. ”

......

Outside the door, Elena, who was so bored that she began to scratch the door with her fingernails, finally waited for Dumbledore to appear again.

"Mr. Gellert Grindelwald values your talent and wants to teach you well. It's just that you understand that his arrogant past makes it inevitable that he sometimes can't help but give some misunderstandings in terms of expression, well. In addition, over the years, Gellert has barely communicated with others. So ......"

Dumbledore bent down and whispered to Elena, gesturing at Grindelwald behind him with a smile.

"Oh, understood. Isn't it just tsundere, it's normal. ”

Elena stood on tiptoe, glanced at the old wizard sitting on the hard bedboard, and laughed secretly in her heart - she didn't expect that the first generation of the Dark Lord, who was once famous, was still a dead tsundere, if it wasn't for Dumbledore's words, she couldn't believe it.

"Tsundere? huh...... I don't know what you mean, but that's what I want to say. Dumbledore blinked in confusion, "Then, let's talk about the future study arrangements......

"Needless to say, Professor Dumbledore. I thought about it, as a Hogwarts student, I really should go back to Hogwarts and be taught by you directly. Elena shook her head, showing her loyalty without hesitation.

While Dumbledore was talking to Grindelwald, she had snuck into the castle below the tower to get a rough look. Every corner of the castle reveals a dilapidated desolation that has fallen into disrepair, the bedrooms in the castle are covered with cobwebs, and the floor is covered with slippery layers of mold, making it impossible to live in.

No matter how powerful a wizard Grindelwald once was, he is now a severely autistic person who can't even get out of his attic.

She's a delicate little witch who has come to learn magic, not an extreme challenger who has come to an abandoned castle to experience the joy of surviving in the wilderness.

"Don't you want to stay and study? Okay. ”

To Elena's surprise, this time Dumbledore did not insist on his point again.

"Well, if you can, at least talk to Gellert before you go. When you came here a month ago, he had said more than all these years combined. ”

The old man crouched down, rubbed Elena's head, and smiled gently, with a hint of apology in his eyes, "This is not an order from the Headmaster of Hogwarts, but a request from an eleven-year-old man. Gellert is most fond of his experiences in the American wizarding world as a young man. ”

Empty nesters in the wizarding world?

Elena glanced at the old wizard in the room, who was in ragged clothes, his teeth were about to fall out, and he couldn't help but sigh - no matter what the scenery had been, what was in front of her now was nothing more than an old man who was unvisited, dressed and tasteless.

"Okay, I see. Okay, you'll take me back to Hogwarts after we're done. ”

"No problem. ”

......

Grindelwald's room.

A pleasant conversation was finally coming to an end.

Elena, who had just watched the first part of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" before crossing over, combined with what she had learned in the "History of Magic" textbook, guided Grindelwald to tell the story of his legendary experience in the American wizarding world.

Elena's degree of cooperation and understanding of the whole story was just right to the itch of Grindelwald, and Grindelwald, who was still vaguely skeptical in his heart, completely believed Dumbledore's words - unexpectedly, this little girl was really one of his admirers.

"Well, I can understand your feelings when you see the idol of life. I'll forgive you for arguing with me so arrogantly, for your childish attempt to gain attention and stir up emotions by talking nonsense. ”

Grindelwald, who was in a good mood, grinned and patted Elena's head disapprerovingly, "I admit that you are indeed a good child, now go back to school obediently, and when you grow up, you will know the correct way to express respect and admiration." ”

??!

The dumb hair on the head of the white-haired ball stood up, this old man has been empty for too long, this is a little too swollen - if this sentence is translated into later generations, wouldn't it be: You licked me very comfortably, now kneel down and retreat.

"I'm sure you may be mistaken since I've been reading about your experiences in the History of Magic textbooks......" Elena cleared her throat and decided to use a more euphemistic way of getting the old man to warm up a little.

Grindelwald nodded: "I understand your feelings, I didn't expect that there would be my admirers among children of your age." It was inevitable that I would be a little too excited to see me all of a sudden, and too eager to express myself. Unfortunately, I'm not used to teaching you a baby like you who can't even wield a wand. ”

？？！

How inflated must this person be?! No wonder he's still single.

I'm sorry, but Professor Dumbledore's time for your reservation for the Empty Nester Service has expired.

Elena rolled her eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a sweet smile, "No, quite the opposite. I feel that most of your previous actions and expansion plans have been full of loopholes and frivolity, and countless missed opportunities have left behind a mess and flaws that can be used to attack. So, I was thinking that if I could encounter a similar situation in the future, I must not follow the old path of your failure. ”

"And seeing your current state and the way you get information, I suddenly realized another problem, that you are no longer the knowledgeable and powerful Dark Lord you are. Over the past fifty years, Professor Dumbledore has continued to learn new magical knowledge, and he has discovered twelve uses of dragon blood, which have been very effective with Nicol Lemay's alchemy...... But you're just wasting your time in this tiny room. ”

"You ......"

Grindelwald's expression, which was so stunned that she couldn't speak, suddenly became extraordinarily exciting, and the expressions of confusion, anger, and surprise kept changing back and forth on the old man's face.

"Alright, it's time for me to go back to Hogwarts. Elena stood up and bowed politely, "Goodbye, Grandpa Dark Lord." ”

At this moment, a pleasant phoenix chirp came from the castle below the tower.

"Shut up, you stupid little girl. Your Professor Dumbledore is running away!"

Grindelwald reacted instantly, his face changed, and he shouted loudly.

"What?!Spicy old radish, you bastard!"

Elena rushed out, just in time to see Dumbledore waving his hand and disappearing in a golden-red firelight.

Then, a letter swayed into the room:

[In five days, I will come to pick you up and take you to Hogwarts, the ingredients have been placed in Grindelwald's room, and the deaf and mute old man who was in charge of delivering meals has taken a temporary vacation.

PS: Gellert, be nice to her, be careful, you may not be able to beat her.

- Albus]
