MTL - The Existence of Harry Potter-Chapter 48 short christmas

Sometimes, you have to admit that the saying "impulse is the devil" is very reasonable. This sentence tells us that sometimes, we should think carefully before making a decision, and not be influenced by emotions and make wrong judgments.

"...Don't look at me now, this old man was also a god-like boy back then..."

"Old man, you are enough!"

After old Grindelwald repeated this sentence for an unknown number of times, Asker stood up and shouted angrily at him. In fact, compared with anger, Ask is more angry, upset and regretful.

You bastard, you still moved me!

Even Ask himself could not have imagined that in just five minutes, Ask had regretted that he was almost moved to tears just now. He felt that five minutes ago, he was simply an idiot who was the number one idiot. A gaffe corrected by old Grindelwald.

In this world, there is a way to turn corruption into magic and soften gold into real gold. It is called magic!

Old Grindelwald leaned back in the chair and looked at the flaky Asker with a smile on his face. What he was satisfied with, only he knew. Opposite him, across a table, Ask is torturing a sausage with a knife and fork in his hand, first slicing it in half, then thin skin cramps, slashing thousands of pieces, and finally breaking it into eight pieces. He didn't feel better until the sausage turned into puree, so he raised his head and said to old Grindelwald with a sneer: "Old man, it seems that you have had a good time this year. Tsk tsk, with a red face, Red lips and white teeth, it seems that I am not here, have you been more comfortable?"

"Let's be so-so, some mischievous, daring child is not here, I don't think it's a problem for me to live for decades." Old Grindelwald took a glass of dark beer and drank it, while giving himself a new life. When he was full, he said: "...don't look at me now, the old man was..."

"You can't finish it! It's just this sentence over and over again, and it's been another year, can you change your line?" Ask interrupted unceremoniously.

Old Grindelwald touched his chin. This action was exactly the same as Asker. He glanced at Asker and nodded, as if he thought that Asker was right.

"Okay, I have some questions to ask you, answer honestly, don't talk nonsense." Asker put some bacon in his mouth and frowned, "Dumbledore said I'm not Grindel. From the Wo family, is this sentence true?"

"Do you want him to be real or fake?" Old Grindelwald asked rhetorically.

"Nonsense!" Ask snorted, and said without raising his head: "Of course I hope it's true, so everything he said later is a lie, and I don't need to pay attention to it."

"That's it..." Old Grindelwald nodded, then under the expectation of Asker, he pondered for a while, and said, "He's right, you are indeed not from the Grindelwald family."

"..." Asker paused for a moment, then returned to normal. He forked a piece of foie gras, "Just say it so bluntly, without considering that I'm still a child, you really are a bad grandpa."

"Actually, if you reason according to what I just said, you are not my grandson at all." Old Grindelwald said without shyness, "If that's the case, why should I worry about your fragile heart being hurt? Come out and even lie, the truth is the truth.”

"It makes sense, so why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me again."

Old Grindelwald replied, Asker was a little speechless, but it seemed to be the case, as if he had never asked Old Grindelwald this question. However, Ask still felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember what was wrong.

"Who is Unser Shafik?" Asker suppressed his doubts and asked another question.

"I don't know this person."

"Dumbledore said he was my father."

"Is he your father? I really don't know. Since Dumbledore told you, why didn't you ask Dumbledore?" Old Grindelwald asked.

"I don't believe him." Ask answered honestly.

"Then why do you trust me?" Old Grindelwald looked at Asker with a smile. "You know, in a sense, I'm not worthy of your trust. You see, I just performed a little magic. , make yourself look old, pitiful, scruffy, and you're fooled. Sometimes your eyes can deceive you, and your ears can deceive you."

"What do you mean? Are you saying you've been lying to me?"

"If you're right, I've been lying to you..." Old Grindelwald looked at Asker meaningfully, "Will you believe me?"

"..." Ask was silent, this question was really confusing, and it was not easy to answer. After hesitating for a while, Asker said uncertainly, "Should... I should believe it."

"Then, as you wish, I've been lying to you."

"Which are real and which are fake?"

"Who knows, you can guess for yourself, you are so smart, you must be able to guess." Old Grindelwald seemed to have nothing to do with himself, and his tone was very loose, "Maybe one sentence, maybe two sentences, Maybe I never told the truth."

"Looks like, I shouldn't come back." Ask said with a wry smile. He put down his knife and fork and covered his face with his hands. "Once I came back, not only did my questions not get answered, but there were a lot more."

"It's normal. If I were you, I wouldn't believe anyone."

"But, wouldn't that make you tired?" Asked Ask.

"It will be very tiring, so this road is not suitable for you." Old Grindelwald said a little seriously, "Don't let your emotions lead your actions, sometimes, even if you hate someone very much, But you still have to deal with him and get what you need. What you need to do is to think of yourself as an outsider, to analyze it calmly... It seems to me that this is a bit more difficult."

"I told you not to talk nonsense, but you ended up talking so much nonsense." Ask put down his hands and said tiredly, he stood up, "Okay, I'm leaving, take care of yourself alone."

"In such a hurry?"

"My mind is a little confused, I want to go out for a walk and relax." Ask said, "I'll come back to see you when I'm free in the future... Grandpa" paused, "I call you that, you won't mind, right? "

"If I say you mind, will you change your mouth?"

"of course not."

"That's it." Old Grindelwald stood up and fumbled around for a long time. Finally, he took out a packaged gift box and stuffed it into Asker. "Take it, this is your Christmas present."

"What's in it?" Asker weighed it, it was very light, the box was not big, rectangular, and the shape was a bit familiar, a bit like the box for wands in Ollivander's wand shop, "A new wand?"

"There are some faults, you need to correct them, for example, don't always ask others, because they may not tell you the correct answer." Old Grindelwald said meaningfully.

"Ha ha."

Asker smiled, put away the gift box, took out a stack of letters from his pocket, put them on the table, and finally turned around and walked outside the house.

"Merry Christmas, Grandpa."
