Harry Potter and the Legend of the Temple

"Evil God?"

Grindelwald's face darkened, and he seemed to be staring at Dumbledore unhappily.

"Who told this thing? Did someone go to offend the evil god?"

"As expected." Dumbledore was not too surprised. He looked at his former old friend with his blue eyes.

"You'd better not understand this kind of thing." Grindelwald looked a little irritable. "Including you, Dumbledore, it is not on the same level as us. It is scary, quite scary..."

"Do you still remember the battle in Leningrad? Oh no, it should be called St. Petersburg now."

"Remember, when you saints were so powerful and at the height of their power, the Soviet Ministry of Magic gathered all its strength to resist for more than a hundred days." Dumbledore fell into memories. Although they were old enemies half a century ago, they are now no longer It's past tense. Grindelwald, the first generation Dark Lord, who spent more than fifty years in Nurmengarde, has long lost his ambition to dominate the world.

"That was the first time I used the power of the evil god." Grindelwald took a deep breath. "It was powerful and irresistible. I had never felt so powerful. But at the same time, extreme negative power filled my body. At that time I couldn’t control myself at all, and there was only endless killing and rage in my mind.”

"That's why so many people died in that battle."

Dumbledore was an eyewitness at that time. The battle to defend Leningrad was not only fierce as a Muggle battle, but also as a wizard's battle was even more brutal.

"Not only in that battle, but also in the subsequent series of wars, I knew clearly what my purpose was, but the deal with the evil god made me gradually lose myself and caused greater casualties. This was not my original intention at the beginning. ”

"So, I have failed since then, whether it was killing the then Minister of Magic, Scamander or you, Dumbledore." Grindelwald's voice became calmer, But the sad memories still lingered in his mind.

"You know I could have done it then, I have the Elder Wand after all."

"Yes, the battle at that time shouldn't have been like this." Dumbledore stood up. In fact, before the battle in Berlin, even Dumbledore had no confidence that he could defeat him.

"I am not a person who likes to be dominated by others, neither you nor I, so you should understand me." Grindelwald pondered, "If I had defeated you and killed you, then I would have been the one who came from another place. Be controlled by the person in charge and become his puppet.”

After listening to their conversation, Louis couldn't help but feel a little respect for Grindelwald. Of course, respect does not mean that he agrees with his ideas. Fifty years ago, Grindelwald gained stability in the wizarding world by conquering the Muggle world, which he did not agree with.

"So, the evil god you are talking about is a controller from another plane?"

"Don't disbelieve my words, Dumbledore, you are always like this. Let me tell you, this evil god is much stronger than any of us." Grindelwald heard the tone of his old friend, " He's not a petty guy like Tom Riddle. If you don't believe it, you can take a look inside my head. You know, I will never use Occlumency on you."

"I know, I know." Dumbledore was a little impatient, "But we all have to be prepared, right? Tom Riddle has already cooperated with the evil god, and we have reason to suspect that the evil god will come to this plane through his body."

"What?" Grindelwald paced back and forth, "If that's the case, it would be very troublesome."

"Let me help you, Albus, just like I did when we were young..."

"Impossible." Dumbledore answered decisively. He, who had always been calm in front of everyone, was repeatedly emotional in front of Grindelwald. This was almost a scene that Louis rarely saw.

"Do you really think this broken prison can hold me, Dumbledore!" Grindelwald became furious, "You have no idea how powerful that guy is!"

The smell of gunpowder between the two gradually became stronger. The two old men stared at each other, as if they were about to fight in the next second.

"You are always so arrogant! You have the same virtue as your brother! If you had known your sister better, instead of acting in the way you think you do, I don't think she would have died at all."

"Don't give her to me, Gavot!"

Ariana is a knot in Dumbledore's heart, a knot that can never be untied.

"You are a coward. You left the Ministry of Magic in the hands of a group of mediocre people, but you avoided the center of political power and chose to go to Hogwarts to be the principal." Grindelwald sneered, "I can only laugh at you for being stupid, Magic The development of the world today has nothing to do with you, Dumbledore.”

"That's enough, Dumbledore is a great man." Louis couldn't stand it anymore. If he didn't interrupt, Grindelwald would demolish Dumbledore to nothing.

"Great? Humph." Grindelwald snorted, "His greatness is only based on the weakness of others, not true greatness."

"How can someone be great if he can't even overcome his own inner demons?"

"Louis, let's go." Dumbledore never liked to argue, and besides, he was now a frail old man.

"Everyone's ideas are different, Grindelwald." Louis turned around and said, "I also admit that you are also a great person, but in the final analysis, you are always a loser."

"No matter what decision you made, facts have proven that you will always be Dumbledore's loser. If Dumbledore is a coward, wouldn't you be worse than a coward?"

There was silence for a while, and Grindelwald looked at the underage wizard brought by Dumbledore with a different look than usual. He seemed to have calmed down, then walked to the bed and groped for something under the stone slab.

After a while, he dug out a wooden box filled with small transparent glass bottles. Inside the bottle was a thread-like substance, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be his memory.

"I admit that you do have an advantage, and that is that you are very accurate in judging people, whether it is Newt Scamander in the past or this kid."

"If you really meet the evil god, maybe this thing will be of some use."

Grindelwald threw one of the bottles to Dumbledore.

"All my memories about the evil god are recorded here, including all the details of my contact with it. It's all in it. Using the pensieve, you should be able to find its weaknesses."

"The evil god is very strong. You must be prepared. Even if you risk all the power of this plane, you may not be able to defeat him."
