A slightly sly smile appeared on the corner of Dumbledore's mouth, which was immediately caught by Grindelwald.
Grindelwald understood at this time, "The child's soul fragment has been stripped, so this message is wrong!"
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded and said, "I know you too well. I know exactly what your Celestial Eye needs to fulfill the prophecy!"
Seeing Dumbledore's smile, Grindelwald suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to Albus Dumbledore who was still in Godric's Hollow.
"Are you surprised by my change?" Dumbledore asked leisurely as if he had guessed Grindelwald's mind.
The Occlumency between the two has become instinctive, so it is naturally impossible to undo it because of a momentary daze.
The reason why Dumbledore can guess Grindelwald's mind is only because they understand each other.
It's just that Grindelwald seems to be slightly inferior now, and he can't know why Dumbledore has become so relaxed.
Grindelwald nodded and said: "Konno has changed you so much? I feel that you have relieved the burden and returned to the past that I have always yearned for."
Dumbledore stretched his waist and looked in the direction of Hogwarts Castle, "I have lost a lot, until the day I met you, I thought I could gain something..."
"I was too naive at the time. In fact, some things were not as pure as I thought. So I returned to Hogwarts, at least here is purer than other places..."
Grindelwald felt that his breathing became a little short, and quickly interrupted Dumbledore, "At that time, I..."
Dumbledore shook his head and stopped Grindelwald from speaking, "Gellert, these are not important anymore. Since you have been in Nurmengard for 50 years, you have already explained a lot of things."
"When I learned about the magic item of the Marauder's Map in the morning and saw your name on it, besides feeling angry, I also felt hesitant."
"Of course the anger is because you left Nurmengard, and the hesitation is because I am debating whether to meet you."
"But what should we say when we meet? Should I ask why you left Nurmengard? Or should I ask why you are playing the hunter game and expect me to take the initiative to find you?"
Dumbledore let out a long breath, and continued: "Konno's words woke me up, he told me to be myself."
"I needed to let go of who I was playing and live as Albus for a day. So I had lunch with Aberforth and sent you an invite."
"So... Gellert." Dumbledore's eyes were full of meaning, "Now I want to ask you, have you been yourself?"
"What is your current identity? The voodoo leader? Professor Bagshot? Or..."
Dumbledore's blue eyes were so bright as the moon, Grindelwald asked himself a little stupidly, "Me?"
Grindelwald recalled all kinds of past, from Godric's Hollow to Nurmengard, everything flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
He felt as if he was traveling through a filthy fog, as if he couldn't find the right direction no matter what.
Two blue moons suddenly appeared above the fog, erasing all the surrounding fog, and he saw himself at the end of the fog, the truest self.
In a trance, Grindelwald returned to reality again. Before he could speak, his eyes suddenly started to hurt.
In the light of blood, he saw the outline of a door suddenly appearing in the distance, and a huge figure in a cloak stepped out of that outline.
This figure seemed to cast a gaze on him, and the moment Grindelwald felt the gaze of the figure, the severe pain brought him back to reality again.
"Gellert, what's the matter with you?" Dumbledore was supporting him at the moment, with an extremely anxious look on his face.
Grindelwald felt the tearing pain in his eyes, and said weakly: "Among the blood red, I saw a figure so powerful that I couldn't even bear my gaze!"
He wiped his lower eyelids and saw a bright red bloodstain on his fingertips.
"Eat this! The pill made by Kong Nuo should help you!"
Dumbledore fumbled for a crystal bottle from his pocket, took out a ruby-like pill, and stuffed it into Grindelwald's mouth.
Ruby pills are sweet, like a mixture of hawthorn and honey, and taste better than any potion, even better than Honeydukes candy.
Not only that, the effect of the pill was immediate, and Grindelwald felt that the tearing tingling was quickly subsiding, and even his body was getting stronger.
He lived a life as a prisoner in Nurmengard, and he didn't use magic to resist the passage of time, so his body has long since deteriorated.
However, under the stimulation of the pill, not only is the body getting stronger, but one can even feel that one's magic power is climbing to its former peak.
Feeling the turbulence in his body, Grindelwald calmed down completely and began to think about what this matter meant.
The third eye made leaps forward at the moment when he saw through his nature, so he can conclude that he saw a certain future through the third eye.
However, the figure that appeared in this future seems to be very similar to the mural in Beauxbaton's secret room.
He asked, "Albus, is there a secret room in Hogwarts? A secret room full of ancient murals?"
"The chamber of ancient murals? What did you find in Beauxbatons?" Dumbledore's expression became extremely serious.
Grindelwald nodded and said: "That's right! The secret may be related to this Triwizard Tournament, which is one of the reasons why I came to Hogwarts under the control of Maxim!"
Dumbledore murmured, "I want to actually see those murals."
"And what about your vacation?" Grindelwald asked.
"Perhaps this is the life of hard work?" Dumbledore shrugged, looking a little helpless, "Of course, you can also think of a better place!"
"Actually, it can be understood in this way. Visiting the Beauxbaton School of Magic, I think it can also be regarded as a way of vacation."
Before the words were finished, Phoenix Fawkes had appeared beside Dumbledore.
Grindelwald nodded, and had already grabbed one of Phoenix Fox's paws, "If that's the case, then let me! Gellert Grindelwald is here as a guide and will take you on a tour."
"So are you a guide now?" Dumbledore asked.
"No!" Grindelwald shook his head firmly, "I am Gellert Grindelwald, and I don't need to add any title!"
Grindelwald understood at this time, "The child's soul fragment has been stripped, so this message is wrong!"
"Yes!" Dumbledore nodded and said, "I know you too well. I know exactly what your Celestial Eye needs to fulfill the prophecy!"
