[HP] Read "No Peace"

[Chapter 2,] Grindelwald's lazy voice sounded, [The next day, Albus was awakened by the warm sunshine. 】

Harry swore he felt a chill run through him when he pronounced the name "Albus".

[He looks through the wooden window--the mottled traces on it are illuminated by the morning light, showing beautiful patterns--looking at the blue sky, the weather is so good, there is no cloud at all, which is not common in this humid country of England.

Albus got up, thinking that now he didn't have to think about Voldemort, the second Dark Lord, hundreds of students, a dozen teachers, and the grievances and grievances of the four colleges. 】

Why not say love and hate?Ahem, Skeeter only dared to think about it in his heart.

[This makes Albus feel extremely happy,] Grindelwald paused here for a moment, as if pondering something.

"...Enough," Dumbledore seemed to be unable to hold back, and said with a blank expression, "Let someone else read it."

"Don't even think about it," Grindelwald flatly refused him, and continued.

【For this reason, he added three meals for himself during breakfast. 】

"What a appetite, Albus," he said flatly, not sure if it was sarcasm or something else.

"Why, is Nurmengard starving you?" Sirius asked, "You look as thin as firewood."

【Albus waited on himself comfortably, then he sat lazily under the south window of the kitchen where the sun was shining, and waved his wand casually.Today's Daily Prophet and the stack of letters that Albus had left on the nightstand earlier whizzed towards him and landed on Albus' lap.

Albus picked up the "Daily Prophet" first, and glanced over the headlines in a hurry: "Shocking scandal exposed, Dumbledore has no choice but to step down!" ? ", and regretted why he was not wearing his favorite golden and red embroidered phoenix robe in the photo - since this may be the most impressive article about himself that he has seen in his life, and such an article There should be matching photos that he likes (of course he is also very grateful that the self in the photo has recovered - at least a little - calm, and has not burst into tears like Aberforth said). 】

"It's a pity," Grindelwald commented curtly.

"I agree," Riddle muttered under his breath.

Voldemort laughed softly, and was caught in the eye by Harry.

[Albus’s eyes are on himself in the photo: sitting dully in the center of the guest table at the Hogwarts dinner, his blank eyes seem to be out of focus, and his lips move slightly. Of course, Albus is not very proficient in lip He didn't quite know what he was saying in the photo. 】

"I'm really 'worried' about your IQ in that world," said Voldemort casually.

【Albus glanced through the following news in a hurry, from the first page—a densely written page—to the halfway point of the sixth page, he was surprised that he had so much to write about, and he was very interested in it described the ugly, greedy, stupid and rude old man described in it.Albus couldn't help giggling when the man's face turned into his own. 】

"I'm sorry, Headmaster," Sirius scratched his hair apologetically, "I just couldn't help it...it was kind of funny to be honest."

"So do I," Dumbledore replied mildly.

[Albus's gaze paused for a moment on the other half of the sixth page—the letters to the readers: 80.00% expressed their hatred for Albus Dumbledore while the other half felt incredible.

Then he turned the newspaper to the last page and spent about 5 minutes on the word guessing game on the entertainment section.Then he smiles for a public wedding outside London (in the "civil edition" featuring Fred and Angelina),]

"You always have the leisure to pay attention to other people's affairs," Grindelwald snorted softly.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Gellert," said Dumbledore. "One has to learn to have fun. Whenever."

【The smile widened deeply when he saw the groom and the groomsmen wearing the same clothes and approaching the bride with the same expression. 】

Both Hermione and Harry couldn't help smiling.

【"I wish you happiness." He murmured, placing the newspaper casually on the dining table.The dining table was made of oak, and through more than 100 years of history, it showed a moist, smooth brown color, polished to a shine by Aberforth's housekeeping magic.

Then Albus picked up the letter.

There was a thick stack of letters, and Albus was in the habit of disposing of them after reading them - whether by destroying them or keeping them.The most important and secret ones would be preserved with complex magic, and the less important and not needed for long-term preservation, he would destroy, since he knew exactly what the mass of letters would reveal.Of course, there were also some ordinary, normal communication letters, which were still left in Dumbledore's chest, safely stored in a box with a space-expanding spell cast on it.

Dumbledore discovered that the top letter was from Grindelwald. 】

Grindelwald reads smoothly until this point, then stops.He glanced at Voldemort beside him with a gloomy expression.

He probably cursed the order of the seating arrangements in his mind.

After a while, he picked up the book again, as if trying to convince himself to read on.

"If it's really uncomfortable, you don't have to be so reluctant," Dumbledore's understated voice came from the opposite side, "I think Tom is happy to accept this task."

Grindelwald put down the book abruptly, and glanced fiercely at the other party.

They stared at each other for a while, the overly oppressive atmosphere made some people shudder.

Finally, Grindelwald slapped the book in Voldemort's face with a sullen face.The corner of the latter's mouth twisted instantly.

If it weren't for the rules, Voldemort would have drawn his wand—perhaps he had considered using his fist, but the thought must have been picked up by the ball of light, so for a moment he couldn't move at all.

There was a light cough from the ball of light above, and then Voldemort slowly picked up the book with a gloomy look on his face.He glanced at Grindelwald and was about to turn it over, but suddenly froze again.

At this time, everyone also vaguely remembered that in this story, the two of them were...

Voldemort snorted heavily, then threw the book to Bellatrix.

The woman took it with great excitement, almost kissing her.She glared at Sirius, struggling in her heart.

At last, perhaps a glance from Voldemort, she slowly opened the book.

["I should have guessed that," Albus said softly to himself. ] Bellatrix wrinkled her nose in disgust.

[He opened the envelope, the letterhead was very short - more like a note, but it was neatly packed in a gorgeous envelope with gorgeous cursive letters - so fancy that Albus didn't see it at first Seeing the owner of the letter—and the gilt edging, it made Albus think that even if it was written on the title "Principal Durmstrang: Gellert Grindelwald (Lord of the Saints, The king of Western Europe, the crown of the world)" is also slightly upstart in the letter. 】

Sirius couldn't help laughing, and Harry had to cover his mouth to suppress the urge to laugh.The godfather and son were immediately shot by Grindelwald's murderous eyes.

【"Principal." He seemed to be speaking to another principal of a distant magic school. "It's not easy, Gellert."]

"I think so, too," Dumbledore said opportunely at this moment.

"As if I'd love to," Grindelwald gritted his teeth...if he had one.

[Then he adjusted his half-moon spectacles and read past the initial salutation ("Mr Dumbledore:").

"I apologize for being stupid." At first, it was this sentence.Dumbledore was a little surprised by this, his old friend had never been so humble in his memory.

"This makes me wonder." Dumbledore said to himself, "What kind of blow will it take to make you apologize to me?"]

Bad opening preview, everyone thought.

【So he enthusiastically turned his attention to the letters below.

"When I was young—and when you were a teenager, you and I spent days that seemed to be filled with golden sunshine."

"Golden sunshine." Albus commented, "That's true, but unfortunately I didn't know that at the time, the brighter the sun, the darker and desperate the shadow behind it."

Albus was lost in thought for a moment, thinking of Ariana, and then he was absorbed in the letter again.

"Perhaps in those two months, the short-lived happiness and the sparks of thought collision filled my brain like cotton candy, but these flashy days were like tarsus maggots during the days when I was imprisoned in Nurmengard It also makes me suffer and regret.”]

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow. "Oh, flashy?"

"Listen, you don't have to think about it," Grindelwald gritted his teeth even more (if he still had teeth...), "I definitely wouldn't think that way."

Show affection or something, enough is enough for the two of you.

The others gritted their teeth secretly.

【Dumbledore took a long breath, put down the letter, took off his glasses, and wiped them with the hem of his robe.

"If it's for this apology," Albus couldn't help but want to smile at [this] Gellert Grindelwald's frankness and magnanimity, "then there is really no need."]

"Pfft," Harry accidentally laughed, meeting other people's eyes, he quickly waved his hands to explain, "I'm sorry, I was just thinking... Ever since I started using numbers to describe Riddle, even Grindelwald All……"

Dumbledore gave Grindelwald a warning look.

【"When I finally let go of the two months of thinking about the duel with you, I decided to leave from Nurmengard. Albus, this is the last time I will call you that—never see you."

Albus looked at the date of the letter: May 1997, 5.Then he looked at the "Daily Prophet" published "Shocking scandal exposed, Dumbledore has no choice but to step down!" ? ", the above date and the information I got through Aberforth clearly show that on June 28, 1997, Gellert and Dumbledore (the original one) "meeted cordially" at Hogwarts .

"Old friend." Albus tried his best to suppress the urge to laugh, "Never see you, huh?"]

"Tsk tsk," Voldemort shook his head gloatingly, "that seems like a slap in the face, old-timer."

[He smiled silently into the air for a moment, as if he saw Gellert Grindelwald spreading out the gorgeous letter paper - of course the title is "Principal Durmstrang: Gellert Grindelwald (Lord of the Saints, King of Western Europe, Crown of the World)", then gritted his teeth and wrote the unfeeling and decisive language, and finally added the last sentence viciously - no matter the expression, action or language - never to see each other again.

Albus calmly glanced across the letter paper again, and saw Gellert's signature at the end of the letter paper: "Gellert Grindelwald". 】

"I'm sorry," Dumbledore said apologetically, "These titles... no matter how many times I hear them, I still feel very rich."

The author has something to say:

I made Bella hesitate for a long time... in fact because I was hesitating. 【Dogeza
