[Ahem,I didn't pay attention to it.,It turns out that the recommendation has been successfully classified again.,This chapter is added for all the friends who have voted for the recommendation of this book~ It can also be regarded as opening a single chapter to ask for recommendation votes...... I want to slowly fill in some of the holes of the background story through memories and flashbacks, please don't argue about how the plot is developing slowly, one by one is my style, if you think I'm dragging the rhythm, that is, there is a small climax coming, if you feel that the overall rhythm has slowed down, it means that there is a big climax coming. 】

――

Grindelwald was a powerful wizard, and there is no doubt that he was even holding an Elder's wand at the time, and after failing to help Hit-Le control the Muggles for the first time, he changed his tactics and eventually succeeded in not only making his Squib friend the German Führer, but also successfully controlling the German wizarding world himself.

He then began to plot a war to unify the wizarding and Muggle worlds in Europe, and wrote to Dumbledore to help him by becoming the British Minister for Magic, apparently Dumbledore rejected him and promised that he would not participate or thwart him.

Lockhart never understood why Dumbledore didn't want to be the Minister of Magic when he was young, but willingly went to Hogwarts to be a small Transfiguration teacher, because he didn't know how to refuse Grindelwald.

They didn't write again until 1945, when Dumbledore was pushed out by the British wizarding community and asked him to defeat Grindelwald. Perhaps to save Grindelwald's life, or perhaps out of desperation, Dumbledore stepped forward and engaged in a grand duel with his former friend, defeating Grindelwald to surrender Germany, ending World War II prematurely.

――

1946 - Wizarding Prison in Newmontard, Grindelwald writes his first letter to Dumbledore after being arrested and imprisoned.

Albus:

I never dreamed that I would be thrown into this prison that I had built, and at first I carved this phrase on the wall at the entrance to Newmengard prison to detain those who objected to my policies: "For the greater good." ”

It's ironic, for the sake of another greater good in your eyes that I can't understand. I'm in my own prison now, and I'm angry at your betrayal, but I know very well that when you decide not to help me, I'm doomed.

The defenses of Newmengard were perfect, for I was locked up here with my strongest opponents, and now I was locked up in the highest cell, just a few meters from the spire. Oh, I have to admit, the setting is ok and the masonry is exquisite. Looking out of the small window of my cell, I saw that the scenery of the wilderness was beautiful, and perhaps I had been missing it.

Imagine that your old friend will be locked up here until he dies...... Luckily, the Dementors have long since been extinct in Germany, and I don't have to enjoy the kisses of those monsters.

What about you, are you still in your school, holding the strongest wand, enjoying the thrill of being praised as the first white wizard, and experiencing the joy of being a teacher?

You win, Albus. Either way, let's wish you all the best.

From Gellert Grindelwald

――

It's so sour, Lockhart shook his head and moved on to the next one.

From 1946 onwards. Dumbledore and Grindelwald exchanged letters almost every year or two, and Grindelwald's tone slowly began to calm down, from annoyance and despair at first.

Although there is no letter from Dumbledore to Grindelwald here, according to the other party's reply. It can still be seen that they have more topics to talk about. They reminisced about the process of meeting and falling in love back then, and the content made Lockhart, a straight man, a little creepy and disgusting.

And then. They begin to talk about family life, with Dumbledore seemingly telling Grindelwald that a child named Tom Riddle has graduated from Hogwarts and is now on the same path as him, much to Grindelwald's great concern and anticipation.

......

They begin to engage in some purely hypothetical and theoretical debates about their respective ideas, and Lockhart skips this part of the letters, which are pointless, he can't see Dumbledore's rebuttal to Grindelwald, what if he accidentally gets persuaded by Grindelwald's theories, and ties up Hermione and Harry to join Voldemort?

......

Dumbledore became the headmaster of Hogwarts, and when he told Grindelwald the news, it only drew sneer from him, as he would be in a room for the rest of his life. Grindelwald also assured Dumbledore that the kid named Tom would become the second Dark Lord, and that the Dark Lord would no longer release water on the first White Wizard.

Seeing this, Lockhart was sure of one thing, the grand duel in 1945, Grindelwald released the water. It may be an exaggeration to release the water, but Grindelwald certainly didn't resist desperately......

Thinking about it, it is also understandable that a wizard of the same level, the one holding the elder's wand will almost have an overwhelming advantage, and even if he can't win, he is unlikely to be captured alive. As for how much water was released, and how it was successfully released so that the wizards on the sidelines could not see it, only Grindelwald himself knew.

......

Grindelwald's prophecy soon became a reality, and beginning in the 60s, Voldemort led a group of followers to rise in England, and many witches and wizards joined his camp in order to gain the power he bestowed, becoming more and more openly violent. Voldemort's followers were known as "Death Eaters", and Voldemort saw them as his "true family". A large number of Muggles and Muggle wizards were killed during this period, and the Ministry of Magic began to outlaw the Death Eaters.

Several years of encirclement and arrest were declared ineffective, but Voldemort's power became stronger and stronger, and he began to take the initiative.

......

The Order of the Phoenix began to be formed under Dumbledore's arrangement, and it was during this period that the Auror Department gained a series of rights to use the Unforgivable Spell and ignore wizarding laws, gradually transforming from an ordinary department on a par with the Striker to a transcendent role similar to special forces and agents. However, just when the strength of the Aurors and the power of the Death Eaters were at their peak, and the war was about to escalate, Harry was born.

......

As Grindelwald predicted, Voldemort used his mad zeal to improve the Death Curse, using dark magic to transform his flesh to increase his strength and craft Horcruxes to fight the Grim Reaper...... However, he never embarked on the "great" path of finding the Deathly Hallows, so Grindelwald believed that his defeat was doomed. But one day he will be resurrected and realize this.

......

Voldemort died, but the Dark Mark on the Death Eaters did not disappear, and Dumbledore realized that he had indeed made Horcruxes.

During this time, Dumbledore sent Grindelwald some readings and told him about Voldemort's death, and then there was little correspondence between the two, as Dumbledore was busy looking for clues about Horcruxes and protecting Harry. And the excellent wizards in the Aurors are not stupid, at least they do not know more about the Death Eaters than Dumbledore, and the Auror department, which found that the Dark Mark has not disappeared, has also begun to take the elite route, carefully preventing Voldemort's resurrection.

It's a pity that this defense has been more than ten years, and no one could have imagined that Voldemort would "lurk" for such a long time, so he relaxed his vigilance. As everyone knows, it was just that Voldemort didn't tell his subordinates about the Horcrux that led to such a big oolong, and as a result, Voldemort was successfully resurrected.

......

The last letter jumped directly to 1995, Dumbledore should have confessed to Grindelwald the news of Voldemort's resurrection, and admitted that he would send Harry to battle, Grindelwald said that he was numb and no longer interested in the news, but still wished Dumbledore peace.

Lockhart guessed that if Dumbledore hadn't died so hastily, he would have written to Grindelwald to beware that Voldemort had come to him to ask about the Elder Wand, but that didn't seem to happen......
