The curse on the "Diary of Grindelwald's Fairy Tales" was lifted, and the picture on the cover changed from the wolfdog Harry and the girl to the original Poet Beedle. But this time, there was a lady beside him. It was his wife.
Anna slowly opened her eyes. She had returned to Newmungaard, the fortress where Grindelwald was imprisoned. She sat on the sofa that Dumbledore had created, and in front of her were two people who occupied two corners of the room.
"We did it!
We thwarted Grindelwald's plot! "
Anna shouted excitedly, and then realized that the person standing in the corner of the room was Grindelwald himself. "Uh... I mean... um... we accidentally disrupted his plan..."
"Congratulations." Grindelwald smiled and applauded.
"Welcome back, Anna." Dumbledore picked up the book that had fallen on the sofa. "Was the story interesting?" He could not enter this fantasy world because he had to keep an eye on Grindelwald in the real world.
"It was very interesting!
Although I only experienced part of it. "Anna smiled, revealing her small dimples." Harry's experience must be more interesting — "
"Your duel part was so cool!
Principal Dumbledore's defensive barrier, precise control, and Mr. Grindelwald's... barrage attack and 'cheerleader-level' wand-catching skills — it was so cool! "
"I didn't expect my wand-catching skills to be at the 'cheerleader-level' level." Grindelwald coughed. "That's too much praise."
This aroused Dumbledore's curiosity. He looked at the book in his hand, paused for a moment, and then calmly opened it.
"Ahem." Grindelwald coughed again. He coughed too many times, perhaps because he was old. "I have to remind you that reading the diary of others when they were young is not something that the greatest light wizard of this century should do."
"I'm studying the criminal psychology of the first Dark Lord," Dumbledore replied to Grindelwald without looking up. "It's best to write a book about it in detail, so as to prevent future generations from embarking on the same path of no return."
He always had a suitable reason.
"... The war between Death God Albus Dumbledore and Demon King Gellar Grindelwald came to an end. After a while, the kingdom regained its former vitality and vitality. The king's illegitimate son, Skeleton Barry, who was imprisoned, regained his human body. Due to his outstanding contribution in restoring the kingdom, he eventually became the new king. His experience as a skeleton made him respect and cherish life, and at the same time, he became friendlier to the non-human races..."
'… The witch Babbitty took her husband's skull and went to live in the forest alone. However, because her singing was too beautiful, many people were reluctant to leave the forest and seriously delayed the restoration of the kingdom's buildings. In the end, Babbitty became an idol singer. She sang her own story and spread the new idea of harmonious coexistence between humans and non-humans …'
'… As for the Wonderland Village, it became the experimental village for King Barry to get rid of the evil. The village chief and the hunters were all caught and they will spend the rest of their lives in the high tower prison. As for Lady Angel, due to Knight Harry's pleading, she did not receive too heavy of a punishment and successfully reunited with the son of the village chief who was kidnapped. Now, she continues to operate her own hotel …
Anna and Grindelwald moved closer to the fairy tale book. "I didn't write these things," Grindelwald could not help but say. "It's not my style at all. This should be the magic book's own adaptation."
"It's not hard to see," Dumbledore stared at him.
"... As for Death God Dumbledore, oh!
He opened the 'forbidden box', and inside it was a wounded heart. If the box was lost, the heart might stop beating... "
The description suddenly became emotional. "He found that the heart in the box had a special resonance with himself. There's no mistake, he thought, this is my heart."
He touched his chest and found that there was another kind of beating. Whose heart was this?
A ridiculous idea came to his mind. He felt that he finally knew the reason why he and Grindelwald would not grow old — because both of their hearts were not in their bodies. "
Anna frowned, feeling that she had eaten a mouthful of dog food.
"It's so mushy that it's scary," this was Dumbledore's comment. He closed the fairy tale book. "I'm going to seal this book," he put the book into his wide sleeve.
"That's really not what I wrote..." Grindelwald struggled, but it was no use.
"Well, we should get out of here, Anna," Dumbledore patted Anna's shoulder. "Harry and the others should come out of the woods in Godric Valley. We have to go and confirm..."
Dumbledore paused for a second. "Anna, as for the condition that we agreed to," he glanced at Grindelwald, "it's just that it's a little strange for you to deliver meals a few times during the school day. Although the agreement also includes that he won't hurt you, but... sigh, it's too late to say that now... but I really think that he's up to something."
Anna shook her arm with two more dark blue patterns. Counting carefully, Goblin Can's' Promise of Love ', Rita Skeeter's' Declaration of Good Faith ', and the' Meal Delivery Contract 'that she had made with Grindelwald not long ago. Anna had more and more traces of the Unbreakable Curse on her hands.
"Maybe he just wants to find someone to talk to," Anna said. But in fact, that was not what she thought. She also felt that Grindelwald was up to something, but she had to agree to Grindelwald's seemingly 'mild' request.
This was because the system's mission related to Grindelwald directly affected the improvement of her magic power accuracy. This seemed to be the only way to improve her magic power accuracy so far.
After watching the duel between the masters in the fairy tale world, Anna felt a deep sense of crisis. She still didn't have enough trump cards. She couldn't even survive in the hands of the masters like Babbitty. She still had too much to learn.
Now that there was an opportunity to safely come into contact with the top combat power, Anna did not want to miss it.
"Well, since you think so, I have to remind you not to be fooled by his words. Leave as soon as you deliver the meal." Dumbledore patted Anna's arm with a smile and stared at the pattern for a while.
Anna suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"And," Dumbledore said, "can I ask a question?
Anna, the other patterns on your arm don't represent the other two unbreakable oaths, do they? "
Without waiting for Anna to answer, he looked more carefully at the pattern and said the information he had obtained. "The color is not too dark, which means that the witness's magic power is insufficient. Your friends, the Weasley twins, may have the ability to be witnesses..."
Merlin's beard!
I can't let Detective Dumbledore go on like this!
Anna hurriedly interrupted his deduction. "It's just a joke!
We know that even if an oath with insufficient magic power is forcibly broken, the result is not death. It's just some superficial injuries. We're just kidding! "
"He doesn't really want to put people to death. He still respects life... but he's too good at stirring up trouble..." Dumbledore muttered in a low voice, and then stroked his white beard. "Who did he make the vow with?" Anna's words did not dispel Dumbledore's curiosity. He continued to ponder to himself.
"Could it be reporter Rita Skeeter?
Ever since she came to interview you, the articles she published have been very positive... It's indeed a little unusual... "
'Bang bang! '
Anna's heart tightened. "No, no... Headmaster!
It has nothing to do with Ms. Skeeter!
It's just a... prank between friends!
Yes!
You don't have to be too concerned! "
Grindelwald laughed. Anna had never been so grateful for someone's laughter. His laughter successfully attracted Headmaster Dumbledore's attention, but soon, Anna hoped that Grindelwald would shut his mouth, which would 'make things more chaotic as soon as he opened his mouth.'
"Controlling reporters, controlling public opinion." He applauded. "You've done a good job at such a young age."
Anna had a premonition that she might have to participate in a few more 'legal education activities' in the near future, but unexpectedly, Dumbledore was not as opposed to such behavior as Anna thought.
"Ms. Rita Skeeter should tell the truth more. Her false reports have caused thousands of werewolves to lose their jobs and aggravated the bloodline discrimination. Sometimes, her reports have smeared the reputation of some wizards who have made outstanding contributions... She even said that the Lemon Sherbet Candy has the smell of the devil and called for the magic world to boycott Muggle snacks!" Dumbledore shook his head. "She deserves to be punished."
"You've changed, Abrus." Grindelwald felt a little strange. "If I were to control reporters like this, you would definitely not have such a reaction!"
"Grindelwald, as far as I know, you don't use the Unbreakable Oath to control reporters." Dumbledore paused for a second. "You usually use the Soul Stealing Spell."
Grindelwald shrugged his shoulders. "I don't use it anymore."
"That's hard to say." Dumbledore no longer pursued the matter of Anna's tattoo and summoned the phoenix Fawkes. Fawkes chirped at Grindelwald, indicating that it knew the man, and then there was no more movement.
"Let's go, Anna," Dumbledore said.
"Don't you want to stay for a cup of tea?
Ah. "Grindelwald touched the chain around his neck and made an expression of sudden realization." I forgot, I don't have any tea here. "
"Goodbye, Mr. Grindelwald." Anna politely said goodbye to Grindelwald and took Dumbledore's arm.
"Goodbye, Anna." Grindelwald waved his hand and added, "And Abrus."
