Chapter 186 Conversation Between Two Principals

When Sean saw those huge orange eyes, it was too late to react.

He heard Dave's crazy and violent screams, heard the sound of the huge creature breaking through the water, and heard the sound of his wand falling to the ground.

However, those voices became weaker and weaker, and Sean's vision suddenly became blurred. He felt that his body was light and airy, as if someone had hooked his hair with a hook and pulled it with strange strength. He lifted it up slowly.

"Two basilisks? Slytherin, I'm sorry..."

The last thought flashed through his mind, and Sean's consciousness fell into darkness.

In the stone chamber, Dave's angry and sharp screams echoed for a long time.

…

At night, in the principal's office on the eighth floor of Hogwarts Castle, two old men were sitting on armchairs, talking face to face.

"Albus, I have warned you many times," Grindelwald said with a serious expression on his face. He slowly twirled his short beard, "Whether the prophecy comes true or not depends on us and the child. Our efforts, but no matter what, you have to think about one thing first - some nasty things have awakened."

Opposite him, Dumbledore's face looked a little tired. He raised his right hand and massaged his temple vigorously.

"I understand, Gellert, but that is not something we can stop. A gap has been revealed in the door between illusion and reality..."

Grindelwald interrupted him rudely: "Albus, I mean, you are too gentle with those old immortals who have awakened!"

He took out a crystal bottle from his arms, opened the cork and poured the transparent liquid inside into Dumbledore's other hand. The left hand looked normal, but after coming into contact with the transparent liquid, the skin on it suddenly became shriveled and stiff, as if it had been dried.

Dumbledore did not stop the other party's movements. After the liquid poured down, his tired expression showed a hint of relaxation, and then he sighed.

"Thanks for the potion, Gellert, it makes me feel better."

Grindelwald snorted coldly, then resealed the crystal bottle with most of it remaining, and placed it heavily on the desk.

"What a great Mr. Dumbledore! In order to liberate a corrupt soul, he is even willing to bear the ancient curse with his body," he sneered in a sinister manner, "Do you think you can compare to Merlin?"

Dumbledore was not displeased at all, and even smiled: "Gellert, when we were young, the most common thing you said was, 'Oh, Merlin's beard~ In the future, I want those children to change it. , for example, Grindelwald’s beard is nice’.”

"This is still my goal now." Grindelwald said stiffly.

"I think it would be nice to stay in the picture of the chocolate frog." Dumbledore spread his hands and then changed the subject, "Back to the topic, Gellert, we have to go investigate again. The ancient ones have been resurrecting too frequently recently. Now, I'm really afraid that one day Merlin will stand up - God, Parather [Note 1] is already troublesome enough."

"That's because you are unwilling to completely obliterate him, and you are trying to save an ancient soul that has long been covered with dust. They are no longer the great wizard they were when they were alive!" Grindelwald said irritably, "If one day you die from your own Mercy, don’t expect me to mourn you.”

"That would be great. I don't like to make the scene too heavy - then can you throw a few bags of cockroaches into my grave?" Dumbledore blinked.

Grindelwald said angrily: "I will catch hundreds of live cockroaches and bury them with you."

"That's not bad - but this topic can be discussed later. We have to discuss the current situation. During this period of time, I discovered a pattern, that is, those ancient beings who were awakened from the trance and illusion were not alive during their lifetime. Not all wizards have powerful magic power. However, the more powerful they are, the more sanity they can maintain. Maybe we can communicate with them."

Grindelwald sneered: "Isn't Parather powerful enough? Where is his sanity? They should have fallen asleep in the long river of history long ago. The best ending is to obliterate them from reality."

"Gellert, you are going too extreme."

"No, Albus, you have always been too kind - anything that threatens the continued existence of wizards should be eliminated."

"Including Sean?"

Grindelwald suddenly fell silent.

Dumbledore smiled heartily, stood up, turned his back to Grindelwald, and said easily: "Gellert, everything has two sides..."

He talked endlessly about his thoughts, not noticing that Grindelwald's eyes became deep and sad.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the principal's office.

Grindelwald's body twisted and turned into another person.

"Albus! Oh, I didn't know you were visiting, but I have to inform you about something..." Professor McGonagall looked very anxious. She glanced around the office and saw Grindelwald transform into The man looked at Dumbledore questioningly.

Dumbledore nodded: "It doesn't matter, this is my old friend, you can just say it."

Professor McGonagall was a little confused. She had never seen this person before, but since Dumbledore said so, he must be a trustworthy person.

"Shaun is missing." Professor McGonagall took a deep breath and said quickly.

Dumbledore's smile disappeared, and he looked at the other party sharply: "Minerva?"

"Just now, Sean's friend Miss Granger came over. She said that Sean had not been seen all day, and she wanted to ask if he was studying in any professor's office. I will go find him. I asked every professor and they didn’t see Sean.”

Dumbledore's eyes became serious. He pondered for a while before he said, "I understand, Minerva... You go back first. I probably know where Sean has gone."

"You know?" Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank God."

After Professor McGonagall left, Grindelwald became his original self again. He leaned back in his chair casually and said in a relaxed tone: "This guy Sean is exactly the same as me - let me think about it, he probably got curious and ran away." Went to the Chamber of Secrets, right? They were probably held captive by that old Slytherin immortal. Let’s see, Albus, how sane can these resurrected ancients be?”

"Watch your words when facing one of the founders of Hogwarts, Gellert."

"Come on, don't you still have to rely on me to enter the secret room?" Grindelwald chuckled.

Dumbledore glanced at him and finally shook his head helplessly.
