Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

Hearing this, Carl was stunned on the spot. This was the first time he heard someone say what he really thought.

He looked at the person in front of him with disbelief, his eyes were filled with fear and a hint of inexplicable desire.

At this moment, he is like an autistic patient with ideals, who is afraid that others will suddenly enter his world.

But at the same time, I long for someone who can truly understand my boring ideals.

"Carl" on the other side seemed to see through the other party's inner thoughts, and spoke slowly with his signature smirk on his face.

"There's no need to be so surprised. We both share the same body and enjoy the same memories."

"Of course I understand what you are thinking, but I have used your memory to relive your life over the past two years."

"But it makes me a little curious, an ordinary person who is outside the mainstream society, or to put it more simply."

"Why did a young man who could be considered a loser in the mainstream perception, travel through time and space by chance?"

"I am really surprised that you still remember your original ideals, given your current abilities."

"You can live a very rich and decadent life, just like the protagonists in all the novels, and no one will blame you."

"But why, why choose this path?"

When "Karl" said this, his tone was calm and confident, as if he had everything under control.

On the other side, Carl lowered his head and stood there silently, as if the moment this question was raised.

The identities of the two people were reversed in an instant, or returned to their original positions.

One of them inherited the strongest bloodline of two great wizards. From the moment he was created, he was destined to be the strongest wizard to rule the entire magical world.

The other one is just a useless boy who has been tortured and bruised in life and likes to brag.

The biggest identity gap is like a chasm that makes it difficult for people to have the courage to answer questions.

"Carl" looked at the other self in front of him, and at this young man who was reluctant to answer, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He sighed deeply, ready to end this conversation that seemed to have no answer.

But at this moment, a faint cry sounded beside him.

"I've already traveled through time and space. If I don't choose the most difficult path, then wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

The volume of this sentence is particularly low, like a timid and immature boy looking at the back of the girl he has a crush on. It is a confession that the other party cannot hear.

A voice that should have been drowned out by the noise, but at the same time, it was such a thought.

With a special belief and a special sense of youth, it sounds deafening.

"What an unexpected answer."

"Carl", who had a disappointed look on his face just now, had a satisfied smile on his face. He nodded excitedly and said with great satisfaction.

"It seems that sometimes, these seemingly coincidences are ultimately inevitable. I am very satisfied with this answer."

"You have lived up to my name, so I have decided that I am willing to continue to entrust this body to you."

"What did you say?" Carl looked up in surprise and looked at the boy in front of him with disbelief.

He didn't expect that the other party would make such an important decision so easily, considering what the other party had said before.

Between their two souls, one must disappear from this world. This reality is more terrifying than death.

The other party made the decision so lightly.

"Carl" on the other side looked at the surprised expression on his other self and couldn't help laughing.

Then he imitated the other person's previous tone and spoke in an extremely weak voice.

"If I can't do anything I want, am I still Grindelwald's blood?"

After saying that, he jumped down from the empty platform, walked in front of Carl, and circled around him, looking him up and down.

Finally, he looked into the other person's eyes and said with a smile.

"Do you think I want to say something corny to you, like don't disappoint me and live bravely?"

"Please, delete those boring thoughts from my mind. Before they disappear completely, I just want to say one thing."

"I really am damn handsome."

After he finished speaking, without any signs or preparation, "Karl"'s figure began to become transparent, and when he finished speaking the last word, he disappeared.

Carl stood there in a daze, looking at the empty space under his feet that was like a pool of water, looking at his reflection in the water, and suddenly laughed and said.

"Indeed, very handsome."

-------------------------------------

The purple color of the heather looked even more beautiful in the sunlight, and countless crutches of various materials and shapes left deep marks in the peatland in front of the church.

Grindelwald looked in the mirror and meticulously smoothed the brass buttons on his tweed shawl, examining them carefully several times.

After making sure that there were no problems with the details of his outfit, he smiled with satisfaction and looked at Dumbledore beside him in the morning light.

There was a look of sorrow on the other person's face. I don't know if it was because of the wrinkles and furrows on his face, or because he was lamenting the ruthlessness of time.

&34;Time to go, Al.&34;

Grindelwald patted his shoulder and said lovingly.

"We have been waiting for this day. Shouldn't you be happy?"

Grindelwald thought that such loving words would get the same response from the other party, but what greeted him was a big roll of eyes.

Dumbledore said unhappily.

"Is there something wrong with your brain? There are less than two minutes left until the time you mentioned."

"What we should do now is not to continue this boring ceremony, but to rush to Hogwarts immediately to prevent the children from getting hurt."

"You can't be so selfish, this..."

Before he could finish his words, the wooden door behind him was kicked open violently, accompanied by the sound of the door lock breaking.

A young boy's voice came from outside.

"Let my dad be selfish for a while. He won't be selfish for many days at his age."

"I just came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts. At the same time, I want to apologize to you."

"I didn't fulfill my promise to you, and I still used violence in the castle."

Grindelwald and Dumbledore looked in the direction of the sound and saw Carl standing at the door in a standard men's suit.

But there were some strange bloodstains on the cuffs of the white shirt.
