Chapter 126 The Past and Eavesdroppers

After waiting for a while, the wooden door was slowly opened, and an old woman appeared behind the door.

She is very short, with a hunched back and is not as tall as Sean. Her knuckles holding onto the wooden door are light blue, and her entire face is wrinkled. You can see the veins and yellow-brown age spots under the skin.

Bagshot squinted at Harry's face, which was covered in cloudy cataracts.

"Oh! Oh! Harry!" It took her a long time to recognize the person, and then she shouted happily.

Harry nodded and said loudly: "Ms. Bagshot, this is Daisy, you saw her last year."

Bagshot looked at Daisy again, and then showed a wizened smile: "Yes, yes, little Daisy, are you okay?"

Daisy nodded obediently: "Thank you, Ms. Bagshot."

"That's perfect... Oh, children, come on, come in, come in quickly." Her voice was like gears rusted for decades.

Bagshot led a few people into the house. It was dark and crowded, but there was no rotten or moldy smell.

"My mother often comes over to clean the house for her and then chat with her." Harry said to Sean in a low voice.

There was only one candle flickering in the crowded lounge. It was obviously not the first time for Harry to come here. He took the trembling candle tray and matches from Bagshot's hand and lit the candle familiarly.

"Has she forgotten her magic?" Hermione asked in a very low voice as she followed Sean.

"It looks like she is too old."

The lounge finally became brighter, Sean put the cake on the coffee table and looked around.

There were a lot of things piled here, the wooden cabinets with peeling paint were crooked, and there were various silverware and boxes on them. There was also a basket in the corner containing ugly green fruits.

In a curved box, Sean saw something he was curious about.

There were two photos there. One photo showed a handsome young man, smiling lazily at Sean, looking like a big, unruly golden bird.

Another photo is of this young man and another young man. They are arm in arm, looking happy and intimate.

Grindelwald and Dumbledore... Sean recognized them immediately.

Grindelwald's demeanor has not changed at all, whether he is young or old, but Dumbledore, when he was young, looked proud and high-spirited, nothing like the gentle and steady old headmaster of Hogwarts.

"Ms. Bagshot, is this?" Sean picked up the photo and looked at the old lady who was enjoying the cake with Daisy's smile on her face.

Bagshot squinted her eyes. She put down the fork in her hand and stood up shakily.

"My great-nephew and his best friend," she took the photo and showed a nostalgic look, "You should all know Gellert and Albus..."

Hermione's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief, while Harry whispered to Sean: "Ms. Bagshot is so confused that she can't remember who is who."

Sean nodded: "It's good to just listen to it as a story..."

Bagshot sat back on the chair with the photo: "How long ago was that? Seventy years? Eighty years? Or even longer?"

"Do you still remember what happened back then?" Sean slowly moved to Bagshot's side calmly.

Just now, Dave sent him an idea.

"On the shelf, there's a funny brain."

When entering Godric's Hollow, Sirius mentioned that a reporter from the Daily Prophet came here recently, and Sean was only impressed by one reporter.

Now, Dave's brain scoring system issued a warning, and he reacted immediately. Sure enough, there was a beetle sitting on top of that shelf.

Sean pretended to be curious and picked up a silver cup. After playing with it for a few times, he suddenly reached out and dropped the beetle into the cup.

"Sean?" He made a little noise, and everyone in Harry cast doubtful glances.

"I'm not sure, sorry." He smiled apologetically.

After several people looked away, Sean covered the shelf and secretly took out a glass bottle.

Bird Snake Nadja came out from behind him, then shrunk her body and got in through the gap in the silver cup. It bound the beetle, which was desperately trying to flap its wings, and slipped back into Sean's hand.

Sean threw the beetle directly into the glass bottle, and then firmly plugged the cork.

After finishing all this, he lazily leaned against the shelf.

Bagshot didn't react at all to this movement, and she continued to talk slowly.

"When the Dumbledores moved in, I was so impressed by the gloomy looks on Candela's and the two boys' faces that I welcomed them with a batch of homemade cauldron-shaped cakes - no one could say no to cake, Right? But Candela turned me away." Bagshot took a sip of the cream on his birthday cake. "But she also needs someone to talk to. I'm a good match. I wasn't as old as I am now. Well...that poor woman, before she died, I was the only person in Godric's Hollow who could talk to her."

Candela is Dumbledore's mother.

"After her death, Albus became the mainstay of the family. Because we wrote letters to him, we had a very good relationship. I still remember Albus's amazing paper published in "Transfiguration Today", He's a genius, isn't he? Just like my great-nephew..."

Bagshot is chattering. She is keen to recall things in the past, but she always forgets something and then thinks about it for a long time.

She talked a lot about Dumbledore's youth, and at the end she mentioned the summer when Dumbledore and Grindelwald met.

Hermione looked suspicious, Harry looked drowsy, and only Daisy still blinked curiously.

"...Gellert! Talented!" Bagshot sighed in an old voice, "They soon became good friends who talked about everything... They often gathered at my place at that time, and I would also follow They talked about some magic history. Both of them were very curious about the ancient history of magic. Once, they even pestered me to tell me a lot about the legend of Haierbo..."

Despicable Herbo? Sean frowned. This was probably the first famous dark wizard in history. He invented many evil black magics. It is rumored that he was the first Parselmouth and the first person to hatch a basilisk. .

Did Dumbledore and Grindelwald also study the history of Halbo?

Bagshot continued: "Later, the two of them seemed to have a quarrel for some reason, and my great-nephew left with a strange expression. Not long after, the Dumbledore family also moved away... What a pity, they The relationship was originally very good..."

There is no specific information... Sean thought with some regret.

At this time, Bagshot stood up hurriedly as if he suddenly remembered something.
