Hogwarts from another world

Two hours later, we set our sights on Austria

It is a gloomy, forbidding tower.

From a distance, it looks like an extremely strong fortress, or a large can completely wrapped in iron.

The fortress is on a cliff that is not too high, but within a few miles of the cliff, there is a complete desert. Except for the occasional ruins, there is no life left.

There is only a very rugged mountain road leading to the tower.

This cold, dark, and distant tower has a well-known name in the wizarding world:

"Nurmengard"

Nurmengard is a prison, a prison specifically used to imprison dark wizards.

His first time as a prison was around 1939.

Albus Dumbledore, the most terrifying dark wizard of the century, was imprisoned in this prison.

Since then, the prisoners in the prison have become fewer and fewer, some have died, and some have been transferred to other wizarding prisons across Europe.

However, the most notorious dark wizard is still imprisoned here, on the top floor of the tower.

Some people say that this place was abandoned many years ago.

However, insiders know very well that this prison can operate automatically without human supervision.

As long as its creator, Gellert Grindelwald, the greatest wizard of the 20th century, is still alive

Will suffice.

Even though it is late at night, the line of words engraved above the entrance to Nurmengard is still shining faintly:

"For the greater good"

But at the top of the tower, it was a completely different scene.

Two gray-haired old men sat facing each other in front of a fire.

One is in rags, the other is in smart clothes.

One is old, skinny, and frail at the same time; the other is a child-like man with white hair and handsome appearance, but still has an extraordinary temperament.

One is the most notorious dark wizard of the 20th century, and the other is the most widely acclaimed great wizard of the 20th century.

Albus Dumbledore, and Gellert Grindelwald.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for you to associate these two wizards together. They belong to completely different worlds.

But now, they are chatting.

Just like many old friends of many years, very casual, very normal and unrestrained

Moreover, it was Grindelwald who was speaking impassionedly, while Dumbledore was listening quietly.

In front of them were two small wine glasses, a bottle of mead, and a large basket of various candies.

"It's that simple. The dark witch who claims to be the most powerful in the history of British magic was easily defeated by me." Grindelwald's voice was loud, while he fiddled with a silver deluminator in his hand.

If any wizard who knew Grindelwald were here, they would be shocked at this moment.

Because they will see that the President of the International Federation of Wizards, Chief of the Wizengamot, and the greatest wizard of our time, is telling his recent experience in a showy tone.

"That's it"

However, Albus Dumbledore lowered his head, his expression seemed to be a little disdainful.

"That's right." Grindelwald snorted coldly: "Does it mean that my plan is not perfect enough? Is my method not clever enough? Do you have any better ideas?"

"I can only deceive an old witch who has been imprisoned by Merlin for thousands of years." Dumbledore still didn't raise his head: "I can find at least six or seven loopholes in it."

"It is precisely because she has been imprisoned by Merlin for thousands of years and has long lost the dignity of a true wizard that I have the confidence to deal with her in this way." Grindelwald did not feel offended, but explained calmly. .

"So, Gellert, you don't care about Hogwarts at all." Dumbledore suddenly raised his head and said coldly:

"You don't care at all about the life and death of the students at Hogwarts. You have put them in extreme danger for such a long time; in your eyes, they are nothing more than tools to achieve your goals. Their life and death are not important to you. As far as you are concerned, it can be used in exchange for benefits.”

Grindelwald was silent for a moment.

Then, he stood up and raised his head proudly: "Albus, wouldn't you choose this?"

"Of course I won't," Dumbledore said firmly.

Grindelwald retorted unceremoniously: "If you were in my position, you thought you wouldn't put students in extreme danger. You thought you wouldn't let students be used as tools to achieve your goals. You thought you wouldn't let students be used as tools to achieve your goals. You wouldn't trade the lives and deaths of students for greater interests."

This time it was Dumbledore's turn to be silent.

"At least I will not disregard the life and death of the students at Hogwarts." After a moment of silence, Dumbledore retorted again.

"I don't care about their life or death." Grindelwald snorted coldly: "If that old witch really wants to kill those two first-year children, I will also take action in advance."

Dumbledore lowered his head again.

Because he knows that what Grindelwald said is true

"We are the same people, Albus." Grindelwald continued: "We are the same people from beginning to end."

"We have never been the same kind of people," Dumbledore said decisively without hesitation.

"Why do you keep denying this fact?" Grindelwald suddenly felt discouraged and sat down on the ground:

"Forty-seven years, Albus, I have imprisoned you here for forty-seven years. Isn't it enough for you to figure it out?"

"I thought it through very thoroughly," Dumbledore said again.

"It seems that you still don't want to give up after all." Grindelwald sighed.

He picked up the mead on the ground and poured a glass for Dumbledore and himself.

Dumbledore, on the other hand, drank it all without ceremony.

"Let's change the topic to something lighter."

Grindelwald also drank his glass of mead.

"Easy topic" Dumbledore didn't look very interested.

"Yes." Grindelwald nodded: "It's a very interesting thing. This time when I returned to Hogwarts, I met a very interesting little guy."

While pouring the wine, Gellert Grindelwald said relaxedly.

It can be seen that he is indeed unsuspecting.

Opposite him, Albus Dumbledore, was different.

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
