"I don't think you're in a position to comment on my family, Gellert," Dumbledore replied amiably.

Grindelwald shut up, his face darkened.

【"I'm surprised you remember this so clearly." Albus said gently.

Aberforth's face went blank and expressionless for an instant. 】Snape's dry voice sounded again. ["I can think of that," said Aberforth dryly. "Perhaps the dreams you once had—those evil ones—never went away, eh? Then why did you break with that German? For your poor, Crazy little sister?"]

"I certainly wouldn't mind sending him off to be reunited with his sister," Grindelwald said dryly.

Dumbledore glanced at him sharply behind his glasses.

Draco subconsciously leaned to the other side.Skeeter swallowed, muttering something under his breath.

【Oh, this is not very good.Albus noticed that Aberforth's self-repressed feelings seemed to have reached a limit: whether it was love or hatred for his brother, belief or suspicion; Do not think that Dumbledore is actually a ruthless politician who fights for power and profit) doubts. 】

"Politician?" Sirius frowned. "An idiot like Fudge? No, Dumbledore, that would be insulting to you."

"It's possible for anyone but you," said Hermione firmly, while Harry on the other side nodded vigorously.

"Thank you, Miss Granger," Dumbledore replied softly, "and Harry."

[This makes him like a firework that is about to reach its ignition point-not the Muggle kind, but once lit, it will emit a large amount of magical fireworks, which are difficult to extinguish, long-lasting, crazy destruction, or the kind that make trouble around , and Albus felt that he should stop Aberforth, either by lowering its temperature or removing the fire that ignited it. 】

"That sounds a bit strange," Dumbledore mused. "I have hardly seen Muggle fireworks."

"That's not the point," Snape said deadpan.

【"Aberforth." He first gently called his brother's name.Then he was silent for a moment, and when Aberforth's attention was fully on him, he spoke in a voice more sincere than a marriage oath - although Dumbledore had never experienced that before. 】

"Why don't you give it a try?" Skeeter said in an almost whispering voice, playing with his nails, but Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at her keenly, scaring her again shake.

["I wish I had never met him, you know."

This sentence made Aberforth look at Albus with a longer look. 】

Riddle curled his mouth inexplicably, and Grindelwald's expression became even uglier.

"You really think so?"

……

Judging by Dumbledore's appearance, he should have refused to answer this question, or, what's more - he pretended not to hear.This made Grindelwald very angry.

【"Yeah." Aberforth said softly, his gaze was mixed with two emotions of gentle rage for some reason. 】Snape hesitated for a moment, as if he had a bad premonition, for this reason, he stopped for a while.

Everyone is very quiet.

Voldemort closed his eyes and fell asleep, Lucius' eyes wandered back and forth between Grindelwald and Dumbledore, and the children lowered their heads thoughtfully, not knowing what they were thinking.

Sirius looked a little impatient.

"Can you hurry up?" he urged.

Snape rolled his eyes back, as if to say: Feelings are not what you are reading.

["When he and Voldemort broke into Hogwarts castle during the end-of-semester dinner, held hands and accused you of crimes, and then expressed their love for each other under the eyes of hundreds of Hogwarts students, and concluded a partnership In the case of a contract, of course you wish you never knew Grindelwald, and Voldemort, the student who suffered so much from your malicious vigilance and alienation, wouldn't you?"]

Harry bit his own tongue, and the pain was so painful that he almost shed tears, while Draco and Hermione felt that they had been splashed with a bucket of ice water, and the blood stopped flowing all over their bodies.Skeeter continued to shrink his presence so as not to draw attention to himself with excitement.

Snape stared blankly into nothingness; Sirius dropped his jaw; Bellatrix was half-conscious on the seat, and Lucius, who looked most unconscious, slowly slid under the table. .

Of all the people, only Riddle laughed out loud.

……

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald, then at Voldemort, the corners of his mouth twitched subtly, and the latter two could only keep wiping their wands to vent their anger.

Next, Snape resolutely closed the book, tucked it into Lucius' seat, and turned his head away, as if hoping never to touch it again.

And since Lucius hadn't crawled back from under the table, his son had to take the book tremblingly.He looked at Grindelwald on the other side in horror, but he couldn't muster up the courage to hand him the book - probably his first reaction when he got the book was to tear it up?

Then they will never go back.he thought sadly.Why did he encounter such a difficult choice?

Finally, with trembling hands, Draco turned the pages of the book, and quickly found the place he just read.Before reading, he did not forget to raise his head and glance at other people, as if he was struggling for the last time.

"A...Albus..." His voice repeated several times before he could fully pronounce the name, [Albus felt comforted by getting more information, and felt that his three views were shattered. 】

Harry silently nodded inwardly.

["I think." Albus said calmly, while his mind was racing wildly with the idea of ​​how to get more words out of Aberforth's mouth (given that many things were beyond imagination), "I was surprised. "

Aberforth glanced at Albus again, this time with pity in his eyes.

"I guess so, because you were crying in the hall."]

The expressions of the twelve people were blank again.Draco tilted his head, and slowly sketched in his mind a scene of the former principal "crying bitterly", and then slowly shivered, with goose bumps all over his body.

Presumably the same is true of others.

But he himself shrugged calmly, and said nothing else.

After a while, Draco regained his voice and read with difficulty:

[Albus' expression blanks (Draco's voice pauses oddly).And Aberforth finally decided not to irritate his elder brother anymore, he stood up, waved his wand and let the used plates, quilts, knives and forks jump into the sink one by one, accompanied by the sound of them jingling and cleaning themselves, Albus was lost in thought.

"I'm going back to the Hog's Head." Aberforth finally said to Albus, his back disappeared into the twilight, as if determined to leave Albus alone for a while—maybe Aberforth didn't want to see his brother The look of painful failure?Albus wasn't sure, but he did need someone to collect his thoughts. 】

"Painful failure?" Riddle repeated dryly. "That seems like fun."

Lucius slowly crawled back to his seat, breathing weakly against the armrest.Slowly regaining consciousness, Bellatrix screamed instinctively.

Voldemort gave her a stern look, and ordered without hesitation, "Forget what you heard before."

Bellatrix leaned back in shock, and replied reflexively, "Yes, Master!"

"It's useless," Sirius said sarcastically, "Even if you forget the former, there will still be the latter."

The yew wand was aimed at the gray-eyed man.Hermione couldn't help but thank the ball of light for the rules this time.

Draco looked to the left, then to the right, and only when no one moved, did he ask cautiously, "Can I... read on?"

No one answered.

He thought for a moment and decided to take this as a license to be silent.He made some ideological struggle and psychological preparation in his heart, and picked up the book again.

[It was late when Albus had packed his books, letters (he decided to read them tomorrow), clothes and trinkets in his bedroom.

Albus was lying on the bed, the summer night breeze passed through the half-opened window, caressing Albus's face warmly, blowing a strand of his long beard occasionally, finally Albus could only use his hands Hold them down.

Albus thought he would stay up all night, but in a short time he fell asleep amidst the warm summer wind and the loud, distant cicadas and frogs. 】

Draco turned the page and heaved a sigh of relief when he found that the chapter was finished.

"Great," he murmured.

Because he was too relaxed, he let go of the book and let it fall to the ground.

Draco came back to his senses, and quickly bent down to pick it up, but before his hands touched the book, he found that it automatically floated up and flew to the seat next to him.The owner of that seat unhurriedly took the book and opened it.

Although he looked very careless, the pages of the book in his hand were shaking.

"Be careful, Gellert," said Dumbledore, "if it is torn, it will hurt us all."

"I don't mind at all," Grindelwald replied maliciously.

The author has something to say:

Chapter 1 is over, huh, it's been so hard... I finally managed to get so many words. 【Dogeza
