[Cough cough, I didn’t pay attention to it, it turned out that the recommendation was successfully classified and ranked again. This chapter is added for all the friends who have voted for this book~ It can also be regarded as a single chapter to ask for a recommendation ticket... It is necessary to slowly pass the memory and The way of flashbacks fills in the holes of some background stories, please don't clamor for the slow development of the plot, one by one is my style, if you think I am dragging the rhythm, it means that there is a small ** coming. The overall rhythm has slowed down, which means that a big **** is coming. 】

Grindelwald was a powerful wizard, no doubt, he even had the Elder Wand at the time, and after his first failure to help Hitler control Muggles, he changed tactics and ended up not only making his Squib friend the Führer of Germany , himself successfully controlled the German wizarding world.

Then he began planning a war to unify the wizarding and muggle worlds in Europe, and wrote to Dumbledore to help him by becoming the British Minister of Magic. Apparently Dumbledore rejected him and promised that he would not participate, It won't stop him either.

Lockhart has never understood why Dumbledore was reluctant to be the Minister of Magic when he was young, but was willing to go to Hogwarts to be a professor of transfiguration, because he didn't know how to refuse Grindelwald. .

Then they didn't send any more letters until 1945, when Dumbledore was pushed out by the British wizarding community to ask him to defeat Grindelwald. Maybe he wanted to save Grindelwald's life, or maybe out of frustration, Dumbledore stood up, had a great duel with his former friend, and defeated Grindelwald to make Germany surrender, ending World War II ahead of schedule .

1946 – Nurmengard Wizarding Prison, Grindelwald writes his first letter to Dumbledore after being arrested and imprisoned.

Albus:

I never dreamed that I would be thrown into this prison that I built myself. At first, in order to keep those who disagreed with my policies, I carved this sentence on the entrance wall of Nurmengard Prison: "For the greater good."

It's ironic that I'm now in my own prison for a greater good in your eyes that I don't understand, and I'm mad at your betrayal. But I know soberly: when you decide not to help me, I am lost.

Nurmengard's defenses are well-established, because here I am keeping my strongest opponents, and now I am in the highest cell. Just a few meters from the spire. Oh, I have to admit, the setting is ok, the masonry is beautiful, looking out from the small window of the cell. I found the landscape of the wilderness to be beautiful, maybe I've been missing it.

Imagine that your old friend will be locked up here to die of old age... Fortunately, Germany has long since wiped out the Dementors,

I don't have to enjoy those monster kisses.

What about you, are you still in your school? Holding the strongest wand in hand, enjoying the thrill of being praised as the first white wizard, and experiencing the joy of being a teacher?

You win, Albus, and I wish you all the best anyway.

from Gellert Grindelwald

very sour. Lockhart shook his head and continued to read the next letter.

Since 1946, Dumbledore and Grindelwald have communicated almost every one or two years. Grindelwald's tone gradually calmed down from annoyance and despair at the beginning.

Although there is no letter from Dumbledore to Grindelwald here, but according to the other party's reply, it can still be seen that they have more topics to talk about. They recalled the process of meeting and falling in love back then, and the content made Lockhart, a straight man, a little creepy and disgusting.

Then, they started chatting about everyday things. Dumbledore seemed to tell Grindelwald that a kid named Tom Riddle had graduated at Hogwarts and was now heading down the same path as him, and Grindelwald expressed great concern and expectation.

...

They began to engage in some purely hypothetical and theoretical debates about their respective ideas. Lockhart skipped this part of the letters, these were meaningless, he couldn't see Dumbledore's rebuttal to Grindelwald, what if he was accidentally persuaded by Grindelwald's theory, put Hermione and Harry together Tie up and go to Voldemort?

...

Dumbledore became Headmaster of Hogwarts when he broke the news to Grindelwald. But it only attracted his cynicism, after all, he was going to stay in one room for the rest of his life. Grindelwald also assured Dumbledore that the child named Tom would become the second Dark Lord, and that the Dark Lord would not give water to the first white wizard.

Seeing this, Lockhart made sure of one thing. In the 1945 duel, Grindelwald released the water. The release of water may be an exaggeration, but at least Grindelwald certainly did not resist desperately...

Thinking about it, it is understandable that the wizard of the same level, the one holding the Elder Wand will almost have an overwhelming advantage, and even if he cannot win, he is unlikely to be captured alive. As for how much water was put in, and how it was put in so that the wizards who were watching could not see it, only Grindelwald knew.

...

Grindelwald's prophecy soon became a reality. In the 1960s, Voldemort led a group of followers to rise in England. Many witches and wizards joined his camp in order to obtain the power he bestowed, and became more and more openly violent. Voldemort's followers were called "Death Eaters", and Voldemort regarded them as his "true family". Numerous Muggles and Muggle wizards were killed during this period, and the Ministry of Magic began to outlaw the Death Eaters.

Several years of siege and arrest were declared invalid, but Voldemort's power became more and more powerful, and he began to take the initiative.

...

The Order of the Phoenix began to be formed under the arrangement of Dumbledore. During this period, the Auror Department obtained a series of rights such as using the Unforgivable Curse and ignoring the Wizarding Law. From an ordinary department at the same level as the striker, Gradually transformed into a detached role similar to special forces and special agents. However, just as the strength of the Auror Division and the Death Eaters reached their peak and the war was about to escalate, Harry was born.

...

As predicted by Grindelwald, Voldemort improved the Death Curse with frenzied enthusiasm, used black magic to transform his own body to enhance his strength, and made Horcruxes to fight against Death... But he never set foot on the "great" path of finding the Deathly Hallows. , so Grindelwald thought his failure was doomed. But he will come back to life one day and realize it.

...

Voldemort died, but the Dark Mark on the Death Eaters did not disappear, and Dumbledore realized that he had indeed made Horcruxes.

During this period, Dumbledore sent some readings to Grindelwald and told him about Voldemort's death, and then there was almost no correspondence between the two, because Dumbledore was busy looking for clues related to Horcrux, and Protect Harry. And the excellent wizards in the Aurors are not fools. At least they don’t know the Death Eaters better than Dumbledore. The Auror department, which found that the black mark has not disappeared, also began to take the elite line, cautiously preventing the resurrection of Voldemort. .

It's a pity that this defense has lasted for more than ten years. No one would have thought that Voldemort would be "lurking" for such a long time, so he relaxed his vigilance. However, it was only Voldemort's failure to tell his subordinates about the Horcrux that caused such a big oolong, which resulted in Voldemort's smooth resurrection.

...

The last letter jumped directly to 1995. Dumbledore should have confessed to Grindelwald the news of Voldemort's resurrection and admitted that he would send Harry to the battlefield. Grindelwald said that he was numb and no longer was right. I am interested in these news, but I still wish Dumbledore peace.

Lockhart conjectured that if Dumbledore hadn't died so hastily, he would have written a letter to ask Grindelwald to be careful about Voldemort coming to him to ask about the Elder Wand, but there seems to be no such opportunity...
