On the rippling blue seaside, a gentle and beautiful woman called towards the second floor of the seaside villa.
After receiving no response for a long time, she walked up the outdoor stairs with some dissatisfaction and knocked on her eldest son's door.
After a long time, a boy with slightly dark circles under his eyes but still handsome opened the door.
"Oh, mom, what's wrong?" Sean said, rubbing his eyes.
Mrs. Wallop's tone contained some distress and doting, and of course, there was also some dissatisfaction with her son.
"My dear, you have been in the house for almost a day and a night."
Sean suddenly raised his wrist, looked at the time and said, "Did it take so long...I'm sorry, Mom."
Mrs. Wallop sighed: "My dear, this is the holiday, you don't have to stay in the house writing your plan... Of course, your father and I don't mind if you work harder, but don't hurt yourself.
body, look at the bags under your eyes, my God, I have never seen you so tired."
Sean smiled: "I know, Mom."
He is preparing a practical training plan for freshmen during this holiday. He is considering taking many lower grade students out this time, so he must be fully prepared. It would be bad if those children are irreparably harmed.
.
However, when making the plan, Sean thought about all the things that had happened before. Being accustomed to reviewing and inferring various situations after the fact, he became addicted again.
Mrs. Wallop gave him an annoyed look: "Only relying on the snacks in your room? You haven't eaten all day."
"I'm really a little hungry..."
As the mother and son were talking, Mr. Wallop's voice came from below: "Sean, are you out?"
"Yes, Dad." Sean walked to the railing and shouted down.
"Then come over and eat. Just now, Mr. Captain brought back a lot of fish for us. I have asked the chef to cook it——"
"OK--"
At the dinner table, facing the tempting seafood, Sean moved his index fingers and began to devour the food without caring about the appearance.
Mr. Wallop was carefully picking out the fish bones for his daughter. He glanced at his son who was devouring the fish bones. He threw the fish bones on the plate and said, "Sean, we are here to relax on vacation, not to work extra hours."
"
"Don't worry, it's over, Dad." Sean put a piece of lobster meat into his mouth and replied before he could swallow it.
The summer vacation started, because a lot of things happened this year, and at the same time, the danger from the outside world has been reduced a lot, so Mr. Wallop took his family to the beach for vacation - of course, for safety reasons, this private island has been occupied by Wollop.
Mr. Lepp purchased it directly at a high price.
At this moment, the island is full of trustworthy people, and at the same time, wizard bodyguards are also distributed in every corner of the island.
Ella swayed her calves, waiting for her father to prepare food for her. The ten-year-old girl had grown a little and had grown into a graceful little beauty. However, in the eyes of her family, she was still the most favored little girl in the family.
girl.
"Sean," Ella's voice was waxy, "Why don't Hermione and Daisy come with us on vacation?"
Sean paused after hearing this, then shrugged helplessly: "They all have their own things to do, Ella."
At the beginning of the summer vacation, Hermione had much less contact with Sean because of the previous incident. Even when Ella called to invite her to go on vacation together, she politely declined.
Daisy also said that she might be inconvenient recently - Xiao Baihua and Sean secretly revealed something, which seemed to be related to the things that happened to the Potters during their schooling at Hogwarts. Godric's Hollow welcomed a girl who needed them.
The whole family takes guests seriously.
Finally, Sean also invited Stephanie, but the latter said that her grandfather's health was getting worse every day, and she needed to start learning everything she needed to learn about running Ollivander's Wand Store now.
However, Sean felt that this might not be Stephanie's truth - she first asked if Hermione would go, and when Sean said Hermione wouldn't come, she seemed to make up a temporary excuse.
Sean did know that there was a secret conversation between Hermione and Stephanie, and he still didn’t know the content of the conversation - maybe this was the reason why Stephanie refused?
So, this time it became a trip for the Wallop family.
The island purchased by Mr. Wallop has beautiful scenery, and the original owner also built many facilities on the island. Although it is not as convenient as London, it is indeed a good place to rest.
Of course, Sean doesn't have so much thought for a leisurely vacation.
The family was chatting about some topics while eating. When Mr. Wallop suggested that they go fishing in the afternoon, Sean's expression suddenly changed.
At the pier, the captain who provided services to the Wallop family was smoking, but he suddenly dropped his cigarette butt and smiled at Sean from a distance.
Sean's eyesight was not that good, but he could feel the fluctuations of magic power.
"I'm going to the beach to take a walk to eat." He stood up and said.
"Don't you want to eat?"
"When you're full, you continue."
Sean walked out of the range of the parasol and walked slowly towards the pier alone.
Rounding a deck platform, the captain smiled at him and pointed in the direction.
Walking in that direction for a while, sure enough, an old man was leaning on a rock on the seaside.
"Teacher, you finally changed your clothes."
Sean smiled and faced Grindelwald.
Grindelwald turned his head and showed a lazy smile. He was not wearing a formal suit this time, nor was he wearing a Durmstrang-style stand-collar windbreaker. Instead, he put on a casual seaside outfit, which is really rare.
.
"It's a beautiful place, and I don't need to maintain a dignified image, so why not let myself relax a little?"
Sean shrugged: "Even if you wear a piece of cloth on stage, those people from the International Federation of Wizards will still cheer for you."
"The respect and fear of others are also one of the motivations for me to maintain my image - I want to make their actions more valuable. I am so kind and generous." Grindelwald said proudly.
Sean also leaned against the rocks beside him and spread his hands speechlessly: "Is your kindness just to use the Imperius Curse on our poor Mr. Captain?"
"It won't do any harm to him. He can even have a sweet dream tonight - tsk, I think your parents have already had enough trouble worrying about their son. There's no need to add another worry to them."
Is this the reason to see me alone? Sean thought thoughtfully: "What's going to happen?"
"No, no, no, this period of time should be the most peaceful time. However, my appearance often means trouble, whether it is for others or for me." Grindelwald said.
Sean nodded in deep agreement.
Grindelwald hit him on the head with his wand: "No big or small."
"Huh?! I'm agreeing with you."
"Grindelwald doesn't need other people's approval - okay, let's talk to you about something serious." Grindelwald still retained the habit of straightening his stand-up collar, and the collar of his colorful shirt was turned up.
"Ariana's side is fine," Grindelwald's tone suddenly became a lot more ethereal, "Albus's stupid brother - bum... but he is quite interesting. He actually asked me for help.
Talk to me through gritted teeth."
Aberforth's temper was indeed like this. To be precise, it was difficult for him to hide his emotions in his heart. Compared to his very dignified brother, Aberforth was more like a straightforward and grumpy old man who had nothing to say.
Sean nodded in agreement, then smiled and said, "But he will definitely thank you."
Grindelwald chuckled: "This is natural, after all, I helped him find his dear sister."
"Ariana's soul was eroded, right?" Sean asked.
Grindelwald nodded first, and then asked with interest: "Why don't you ask me how I know it? You obviously didn't tell me anything."
Sean spread his hands: "I think with my brain, not my butt - when we were in Durmstrang that day, the [borrowed] Gudaren variant rules you used were borrowed from Professor Dumbledore's
Power - I have reason to suspect that the mutation rule at the cost of life length can allow you to contact the soul of Professor Dumbledore as he moves forward."
Grindelwald's eyes suddenly darkened, and after a moment he smiled with relief, then looked into the distance, and said in a nostalgic and dissatisfied tone: "It's not very clear, I can hear some sounds - but, for me,
Say enough."
Sean blinked: "Then did the professor tell you where he is in the trance?"
Grindelwald imitated what he had just done and spread his hands: "Do you think the esteemed Albus Dumbledore, the greatest... Riddler in the history of Hogwarts, would tell me this?"
"That's true - but can you learn something better from Professor Dumbledore, teacher?" Sean rolled his eyes.
Professor Dumbledore is already the Riddler, and now Grindelwald is also tending to move in this direction.
Grindelwald jumped slightly, and then sat on the top of the reef. He looked at the blue water in the distance, and his tone was relaxed and frivolous: "If you want to defeat Dumbledore, you can only use the same tricks as him - but now,
I'm trapped, tut, I'm really unwilling to do so."
"Has the Ministry of Magic taken care of everything?"
Grindelwald nodded: "After thorough cleaning, if the original senior officials and ministers were controlled by the Imperius Curse, then return the leadership to them. If they are senior officials who have been infiltrated by the returnees, then directly deal with them and replace them with new ones."
my people."
Sean looked over in surprise: "This is not like your style - the respectful and ruthless Mr. Gellert Grindelwald, shouldn't he take this opportunity to replace all the senior leaders of the Ministry of Magic in various countries with his own people?
?You were so kind as to return part of it?"
Grindelwald waved his wand and pointed at the water, and a burst of waves surged from the calm blue sea, rushing toward Sean.
However, Sean was not one to take punishment honestly. He quickly waved his magic wand to resist the incoming sea water.
But after all, it was Grindelwald who was more ruthless - he took advantage of Sean to resist the sea water and secretly poked Sean with the tip of his wand.
The transparent barrier blocking the spray burst like a bubble, and seawater poured all over Sean.
He looked over speechlessly, where Grindelwald was lying leisurely on the rocks: "Remember to show respect to the teacher in the future."
"Yes Yes Yes--"
Grindelwald stretched out comfortably, and then looked into the distance with his eyes somewhat dully, as if he was talking to himself or to Sean.
"This time I lose, and the loser will have to push all the chips over as punishment - if I take the opportunity to replace all the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic in various countries with my people, Albus will definitely accuse me of cheating when he finds out.
"
"This shows that this is not the first time you have cheated - well, just pretend I didn't say it."
Grindelwald, who glared at Sean and then looked away, continued: "This time he lost completely, so let's implement his ideals more thoroughly - not to mention, Haierbo will have to face it sooner or later, and now
The wizarding world is so rotten, how can we fight with Haierbo?"
Sean had a dark thought that "Dumbledore's death was not in vain", but he still nodded in agreement: "Helpo will not give up."
"Yeah, how could he give up... Speaking of which, are you making preparations too?"
"Huh? How do you know?"
"I went to Godric's Hollow, and your little apprentice, Capon Roman, is not very strict with his mouth." He said, stroking his beard dissatisfied. "That should be considered my apprentice? He is a stupid guy."
"Capone is very talented, okay?"
"Very good, at least you have learned my essence in protecting calves."
"Thank you for the compliment -" Sean waved his hand wordlessly, "But now that you know it, you should also know my actual combat plan, right?"
"Not a bad idea." Grindelwald affirmed.
While drying his clothes with a wand, Sean asked: "I just wanted to ask you if you have any actual combat partners? I know a few, but I'm not sure. Share your information with me.
Just take it for a moment and save me the trouble of running back and forth to make sure."
Grindelwald waved his hand indifferently: "I will send a document to your room later, and you can choose it yourself."
"That's good."
Sean nodded, then he hesitated for a moment and asked again: "I want to confirm something with you."
Grindelwald didn't even raise his eyelids: "To be honest, your patience is beyond my expectation. You didn't ask me until now."
Then I have to have a chance...
However, with the real owner in front of him, Sean also asked the question he had always wondered.
"In that timeline, what kind of existence is the other Sean Wallop?"
Grindelwald showed a nostalgic look and smiled slightly: "Sean, do you know why I fell in love with you at first sight?"
