It's hard to imagine Dumbledore's reaction to hearing this fact for the first time, because he just happened to lower his head so that no one else could see the change in his expression.

And Grindelwald looked at him with an even weirder look.

When will they show their affection...

The above are the psychological activities of the other ten angry men.

After a long time, Draco's cautious voice sounded again.

["I don't know if Grindelwald will run out of Nurmengadry by himself," Harry said, "but I can be sure that this Grindelwald is different from the original one."

"These are two different worlds," said Albus softly.

"But the replaced person is completely different." Harry retorted with Albus and Snape's just theory. 】

Skeeter gave a low grunt.

["Grindelwald," said Albus finally, "ambitious, proud, and powerful. It is true, however, that he might as well have been replaced. It has been said that his later years in Nurmengard showed regret— —if he really didn't let Voldemort get the Elder Wand, maybe that's true."

"But I'm not sure what Grindelwald's replacement will be. He is more likely to control the entire wizarding world just like Voldemort."

"You said he had..."

"He's not a man to be controlled," said Albus quickly. "If he is replaced with Voldemort, the best assumption is that they can't tolerate each other, but we still need to take more precautions."

"Grindelwald and Voldemort." Harry took a deep breath, "We'll figure it out."

"We'll figure it out, since I'm used to saving the world." Albus winked at Harry.

Harry was amused by him, Sirius rolled his eyes at the old professor mercilessly, and Snape let out a long breath. 】

Grindelwald sneered, and Draco was forced to stop talking, looking at him in horror.

"I hope you can stop oppressing this child," Dumbledore said calmly, "so that we can end the mission as soon as possible."

Then he got a blank stare.

Grindelwald looked away, but his face became even more gloomy.

["The next thing I have to do is wait." Snape crossed his arms over his chest, "I've said all I can say - I hope it won't be too long."

"We can't control that," said Albus, "but until then, Severus, there is something we can do."

"I did everything I could," Snape said coldly.

Albus stared at Snape.

"Okay," said Snape, "I'll help you - make Voldemort and Grindelwald think everything's okay and Harry's just coming to Black for a holiday."

"Thank you very much," said Albus, feeling tired at the same time - well, well, the battle with the Dark Lord is about to start again?Albus first thought of Voldemort, then Grindelwald's face came to mind together, if only -

When Albus came to his senses, Snape was getting up to say goodbye to him.

"Any accident, I will contact you." Snape said, "If I am replaced in the process..."

"I'll write to you every day," said Harry.

Snape stared closely at Harry. 】

Enough is enough, please stop hitting!

Snape's expression twitched again.Harry tried to convince himself that it was just an auditory hallucination.

【"Yes. Your special stationery is also available at Blake's."

"We have the upper hand," Sirius said.

Then Snape wrapped his cloak tightly and left.Before he left, he left some potions, which he had specially returned to Snape Manor to fetch before he came to Grimmauld Place.

"Harry suffers from headaches sometimes," Snape said, "this can help."

He left quickly, not noticing the suddenly serious faces of Albus and Harry. 】

Draco read, frowning in confusion.

【"So... I think we need to talk." In the evening, after Albus, Sirius and Harry said good night to each other, Albus returned to the room, and waited for Harry half an hour later.

Albus sat side by side with Harry on the two armchairs in the bedroom, flipping the vial Snape had left behind in Albus's slender fingers.

"It's a slow-release potion," said Albus.

"Not now." Harry noticed that Albus still had the clippings on his lap - and some new ones, which appeared to have been found in Sirius' study.

"Professor, will making a Horcrux deform someone's face?"

Albus looked at Harry meaningfully.

"Some dark arts cause irreversible damage to the human body, but never made Horcruxes like Voldemort did - seven, and the resulting effects I can't fully speculate on."

"Then Voldemort in this world still retains his true colors, does that mean he hasn't done so many experiments with black arts?"】

Draco paused again, confused by the frequent occurrence of new terms.

"If he can keep his youthful appearance," Sirius muttered, "it might be helpful—at least it will win the blind support of a lot of stupid witches."

He was then met with vicious stares from Voldemort and Bellatrix.

["Forgive my bluntness, Harry," said Albus. "From the deaths of James and Lily, Voldemort has not changed for the better."

"So," said Harry calmly, "what about Horcruxes? Am I still a—"

Albus' heart ached for this Harry.

"We'll fix it."

Harry looked up, his bright green eyes fixed on Albus.

"Actually, Professor, I am not afraid of death."

"I know," murmured Albus, "you've always been a brave boy, and you're better than me."

Harry looked at Albus in surprise.

"I guess you know something, like the Deathly Hallows?"

"Yes," said Harry, "I saw the Returning Stone in the Snitch - I saw Mum and Dad."

Dumbledore looked at him mildly.

"Sirius told me...it doesn't hurt at all." Harry smiled, and Dumbledore's eyes welled up with tears.He watched Harry through the hazy vapor, and the brave boy said to him, "Although we lost you—and I died, I still believe that we will win."

"Yes." Albus felt the tears trickle down his face and the bridge of his nose.

"We will win."

"I threw the soul-returning stone in the Forbidden Forest."

Albus nodded, tears still wet on his face.

"So what should we do?" Harry said to Albus.

"What do you think we should do?" Albus asked rhetorically.

"The situation with Voldemort and Grindelwald - we need to know as soon as they are replaced."

"It requires getting close to them," said Albus, "I'm not sure Severus would be happy to do that."

Harry's expression didn't seem to agree very much, but he hesitated for a while, and still said to Albus: "Professor Snape will do it if you ask him."

"I won't ask him," said Albus, "he's had enough, it's up to me to do it."]
