dragon and boy

Chapter 31

Albus Dumbledore has a status no less than that of Grindelwald in Durmstrang, and he is fully capable of making his own decisions about Snape going to a missionary school.

But he still chose to inform the young monarch, preparing for a quiet afternoon.

The political marriage of Durmstrang and Hogwarts was also spread throughout the country overnight, and Albus would often hear people discussing the appearance and character of their queen, just like when talking about his half-dragon. Equally interested.

After searching the entire castle, there was no sign of Grindelwald. At this moment, Albus was at the highest point of the castle building, sitting alone on the slope at the top, overlooking the entire land.No one will come here, and no one can come up. Behind him is a pair of dragon wings that are spread wide, and they will spread out and flutter a few times from time to time.

The wind blew over his cheeks, and also blew his hair. His face was a little red from the sun. Although he was sweating a little, he had already sat here for an afternoon.

The sun would slant on his body, and Albus raised his hand to cover his head, and he suddenly saw the dark cloud on the mountain far away and the light that flashed through the cloud from time to time.

It's going to rain, and it's going to be a torrential downpour.

Downstairs in the castle, there were servants who were drying clothes. Albus sat up from the supine position. He faced the servants below, cleared his throat, and adjusted his image to the best state.

"In half an hour," Albus called down, "it's sure to rain here."

Those servants raised their heads, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, a little puzzled.

"Trust me," continued Albus, "it will be a storm of unprecedented proportions, and it will come from the far north."

As Albus said, when the torrential rain hits the land, everything is eclipsed in an instant.The rain water poured down from the sky, together with the raindrops hanging from the cracks of the eaves, forming a curtain of water.

It was obviously very bright one second before, but the sky was as gloomy as the evening in the next second. Cooperating with the flashes of lightning and thunder from time to time, Albus returned to the interior of the castle. He stood at the window and fell silent.

The weather is like his mood, ups and downs, cloudy and sunny, but all his inner thoughts are not expressed on his face, just like Grindelwald walking from the other end of the corridor at this moment, Albus just Glancing at it, he continued to fold his arms, focusing on the window.

The rain hit the window, blurring his vision, and he didn't know what Albus was looking at, so engrossed.

Grindelwald stopped beside Albus, as if he was waiting for the other party to look back at him, and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Autumn in Durmstrang is very special." Albus said, he turned to the left and leaned against the glass window beside him, he could feel the window shaking constantly due to the beating of the wind, "I want to discuss something with you ,May I?"

"You said."

"I want Snape to teach herbalism in a church school. There are no relevant courses in the school. I think children need to learn about herbal medicine." Albus said, "He will be a very good professor."

Grindelwald said directly: "You can decide this matter by yourself."

"I am not the master of Durmstrang."

"Me neither." Grindelwald said, "Who of them would have thought that I was an empty shell with a changed soul? From Gellert Grindelwald's standpoint, he should indeed marry the little princess of Hogwarts , to ensure the long-term interests of the country, but unfortunately, I am not him."

"Since you have been given this name, you have to bear his responsibility."

"You're running away, Albus." Grindelwald stepped forward, trying to push Albus against the corner, "You've given me a chance, so why take it back? It's not fair to me, and It's unfair to you. Have you ever thought that Merlin may have brought us here because he wanted us to pursue what we didn't have before, or to lose what we had."

These words were somewhat similar to Snape's theory, Albus was slightly taken aback, seeing that Grindelwald made the words so clear, he simply had a showdown with him: "Yes, I want to give you a chance , I still love you, I think you know it too, but you didn't take the chance."

"Because of Emilia?"

"Do you know why I talked so much to you on the road that day?" Albus didn't answer, he grabbed Grindelwald by the collar and pulled him an inch closer to him, "Maybe you're used to letting me do it." Guide everything, but for me, I have never felt the slightest sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from that love. I can only feel that you followed my footsteps dully, with deceit and interest in your heart."

To start over, Albus thought, and he wanted to enjoy being chased once more.

This is the first time that Albus has completely exposed his heart in front of Grindelwald. He slowly let go of his hand, and at the moment when he was about to turn around and leave, Grindelwald, who should have taken the opportunity to retreat, first He hugged his waist step by step.

Burying his head on Albus' neck and shoulders, Grindelwald took a deep breath, tightened his arms, and wrapped him tightly in his arms.

"I haven't explained this to you, you misunderstood." Grindelwald added, "Emilia is not the princess I want to marry."

Albus is not an impulsive person, more often, he will choose to listen to the other party's explanation.He didn't break free from Grindelwald, but his body was obviously stiff. Albus put his palm on the back of Grindelwald's hand wrapped around his waist, and pulled it lightly, but his hand remained motionless.

"I'll give you time to explain," said Albus. "I hope to hear a reasonable answer."

"I help Grindelwald here manage his country, deal with all kinds of trivial things, and even live in those conspiracies and tricks all day long, but I don't want to follow his track when it comes to partners. "

While Grindelwald was speaking, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window, instantly illuminating the entire dark castle.

If there was a mirror in front of the two of them, Albus must have noticed the gloomy expression on Grindelwald's face surrounding him.This gloomy expression is not like any previous expression, filled with unfathomable and decisive.

"Why should I follow another person's life here?" Grindelwald chuckled, "Emilia is the fiancee I found for Leonard, and it is I who manage the country for Grindelwald here. This cannot be the source of his bondage to my thoughts. Now I will not be him, nor do I want to be him."

The corridor was once again silent and dark. Grindelwald and Albus seldom laughed when they were alone, but most of the time Albus didn't feel uncomfortable, but hearing each other's laughter at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive.

"We are the greatest wizards of the twentieth century. Even if there is no magic, we should be the most trustworthy people here." Grindelwald continued to ask: "Albus, this time, are you willing to... "

Before Albus could answer, Grindelwald hissed immediately. He opened his mouth and pulled Albus' collar down an inch. Before the other party could react, he took a bite.

This mouthful seems to be full of his thousands of emotions, Albus's shoulder seems to have ooze a little bloodshot, Grindelwald still does not let go.

Grindelwald slowly raised his head until two rows of extremely deep tooth marks were branded on Albus's shoulders. He lightly pecked on the outside of Albus's chin, feeling the stiffness of the other's body, and said gently: "You You don't need to give me any promises, but can you give me a chance to pursue you?"

Albus fell silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "...Are you playing with me?"

When Grindelwald let go of his hand, Albus faced Grindelwald again. He covered the wound on his shoulder with his palm. blood.

"Are you trying to kill me?"

Grindelwald laughed, "I can't kill a dragon."

Albus sighed, pulled up his neckline, his brows were still frowned, and while moving his shoulders, he asked: "Then why didn't you explain to me before? On the way back, you completely You can explain the facts to me."

Grindelwald didn't speak, he gently took Albus's hand.There was no light in the corridor, and Albus didn't ask much, and he didn't know where the other party would take him. He followed behind Grindelwald unhurriedly, and the temperature in his hands made his palms sweat slightly .

The two stopped at the door of the Council Hall. Grindelwald took Albus's hand, kissed the knuckles of the other's ring finger lightly, and then put his hand on the doorknob.

"Because I want to give you the best, and I don't want you to hear those discussions." Grindelwald said, the door opened a crack, and the light suddenly penetrated and fell between the two legs, "And now It took me an afternoon to sort out all the problems, and now I can explain everything to you without any worries."

"What's in there?"

Grindelwald didn't answer, but asked, "Are you ready?"

Albus nodded his head in a strange way. He watched the light grow bigger and bigger. It wasn't until the soldiers in the council hall completely opened the two doors that his eyes were completely bright, and he could see the real scene inside clearly.

It was very similar to the scene of receiving the contract that day. The royal family and the nobles stood in two rows on the left and right, and they all cast their eyes on the door.

Grindelwald leaned closer to Albus's ear: "They won't object anymore, just follow me in."

He wanted to lead Albus into the council hall, but Albus withdrew his hand. He stretched out his hand, and at the moment Grindelwald turned his head to look at him, he stroked the broken hair on the other's forehead behind his ear .

"Let's go." Albus said suddenly, "I'm curious what you want to say to me in front of them."

"It's all late words, I should have told you a long time ago." Grindelwald said, "I'm sorry that it has been stranded until now."

Grindelwald suddenly turned his head, his eyes sat on the throne directly in front of him, and in the eyes of everyone, he and Albus stood side by side in front of the throne.

The two stood facing each other, and the distance before was extremely ambiguous.

They were only one kiss away.

"Albus Dumbledore, are you willing to accept Gellert Grindelwald's courtship?" Grindelwald's voice echoed in the entire council hall, and he raised the corners of his lips in front of everyone, " That's how we live our lives."

This was followed by a sentence only Albus could hear: "I won't leave you this time."
