"Who doesn't die? Even Master Nicol Lemay, who lived for hundreds of years, chose to face death when he was six hundred and sixty-five years old. Dumbledore turned his back to Grindelwald and shook his head with a chuckle, he believed Grindelwald's words very much, he said that if he saw the future, it must be.

It's just that he was ready for death a long time ago, and he had lived one hundred and fifteen years old, long enough.

And for powerful wizards, death is just the beginning.

Maybe in a few years, he will appear as a white-robed mage with a great sword.

"Nicol Lemay? Is he dead too? One of the few wizards we didn't know was one less. ”

Grindelwald's voice was full of regret.

The two seemed to have different concerns, Dumbledore was relieved and Grindelwald was emotional.

Then he said with reminiscence: "Half a century has passed, everything seems like yesterday to me, and the 'assistants' who followed me back then have basically returned to dust. Gone with the wind."

"The few who are left have taken refuge with your students."

Voldemort's followers are called Death Eaters, and Grindelwald's followers are referred to by him as 'helpers', although they are known to the outside world as 'Witch X'.

Grindelwald sighed here, but Dumbledore didn't answer.

Then there was silence, the two were like-minded, chatting, and talking about everything, as if there were endless topics to talk about, telling their respective ideals, and they could talk infinitely for a few days and nights.

Now they were speechless, and it was still Grindelwald who took the initiative to break the silence.

"Dumbledore, this may be the last time we'll meet, and you won't even see me for the last time?"

Grindelwald stared at Dumbledore's back, and there seemed to be a lot of inexplicable things in his eyes.

From just now to now, Dudley and the others have obediently stood aside without saying a word, quietly eating melons. Ahem, listening to the two old men reminiscing.

Even Ron, who is usually the noisiest, rarely didn't speak.

"What's the difference between seeing and not seeing?"

Dumbledore shook his head, he had already relieved everything in the past: "I'm only here to bring hope to the wizarding world. ”

"Is that them?"

For the first time, Grindelwald's eyes turned away from Dumbledore and fell on Dudley and the others, focusing on Dudley, Harry, and Neville.

"Actually."

Grindelwald slowly withdrew his gaze from the three of them and looked at Dumbledore's back again.

"I see more than one future. It's a wonderful thing, and it's never been done before."

His words surprised Dumbledore, more than one. Future?

Grindelwald didn't care whether Dumbledore could see or not, pointed to his eyes and said, "You know, I'm not like other wizards with prophetic blood. Through this eye, I can get a glimpse of the future, but I can't see the whole picture. ”

"Through those fragmentary trajectories, I see two completely different futures."

The light-colored pupils accompanied Grindelwald's words and seemed to exude a distinctive light.

"Even now I can't tell which one will be true."

Dumbledore nodded, if it was really like Grindelwald said, even if it was him, he couldn't tell the difference. Anything that involves prophecy and time is the most mysterious existence even in the magic test.

He didn't continue to ask, and from Grindelwald's tone, it could be inferred that it should be a prophecy with a good ending.

As for how he died, it doesn't matter.

It doesn't make any sense to know.

Grindelwald saw that Dumbledore didn't ask, so he didn't continue.

There was another brief silence, this time Dumbledore speaking up.

"It's time for me to go, and they'll leave it to you."

As he spoke, he walked straight to the gate.

Grindelwald exclaimed, "Wait. You don't stay here? Aren't you worried that I'm going to spoil them? You used to care that Newt's protégé was influenced by me. ”

He emphasised the name 'Newt' and the word 'protégé'.

Apparently the wizard made a deep impression on him, and he still remembered the name vividly after decades.

Dumbledore paused and shook his head with a smile as he turned his back to Grindelwald: "Don't underestimate them just because of their age"

"I think you're going to like these students."

To be honest, the reason why he brought Dudley and them was a little bit that he wanted Dudley and them to inherit the mantle of this old friend.

The most regrettable thing for powerful wizards is that they have not found a suitable heir, and even Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, has deliberately created a secret room to find a successor.

"If you want to learn my knowledge, you have to see if they are qualified. You know, I never teach stupid. ”

The two have been friends for decades, and Dumbledore thought what Grindelwald could not know, only to hear him proudly say: "If they can't keep up with my pace, even if you bring them, I will kick them out." ”

Without the slightest hesitation, Dumbledore said, "If they really don't fit, then get rid of them." ”

With that, he walked through the door of the hall.

He never told Grindelwald about Dudley's men from beginning to end, and he trusted that the other party would judge for himself.

"I'd like to see how good the students you hold in high esteem are."

Looking at Dumbledore's back, Grindelwald muttered until he was completely gone.

His gaze fell on Harry and the others again, and under the gaze of those heterochromatic eyes, everyone felt different levels of pressure

"Come on, cast your strongest spell on me, and let me see how good you are."

The best way to test a wizard's strength is to look at the spells he is best at.

Hearing this, Dudley said with a serious face: "I suggest you better not do this"

"It's good for young people to have confidence, but rest assured. Your spells won't hurt me much. ”

Who is Grindelwald?

Decades ago, it terrified many countries and was listed as the most dangerous existence of dark wizards by the ministries of magic of various countries.

There are no wizards in this world who can hurt him, and he has seen these people in the prophecy, but he doesn't believe that with the current age of a few people, they can hurt him to the same extent.

"No, Professor Grindelwald."

Dudley immediately slapped the snake and directly changed his name to the other professor, who didn't seem to mind being called that.

"I'm worried. The castle will not be able to withstand it. ”

Grindelwald: "."
