The Elder Wand and Grindelwald.
Sean immediately realizes that this seems to be Grindelwald’s memory before time travel. The scene confirmed his thoughts. He seemed to have just experienced a terrible fight, and he was breathing heavily at the moment while his voice was somewhat helpless and unwilling.
“I really don’t want to admit it, but it’s even more shameful not to admit defeat.” Grindelwald stood up slowly, the Elder Wand in his hand trembling slightly for some reason.
Sean just felt that Grindelwald was looking at him. Through different timelines, through different worlds, through memory and reality.
Grindelwald’s clothes, emotions, and even his eyes gave Sean a strange feeling. He is taller and more rebellious than the Grindelwald Sean knew.
However, Grindelwald’s smile stunned Sean. That was the smile he often showed when he was teaching him. A feeling that is rarely seen in him. It was probably the kind of smile only Sean could see.
“Let me think…” Grindelwald dusted the dust off his body, “When you get this bottle, Albus will probably say, ‘It’s one of Grindelwald’s things. But I guess you wouldn’t understand it now. When you’re a bit older, you can come to me to ask about it.’ Probably something like that.”
Sean widened his eyes and shook his head. It was exactly what he said before. Grindelwald seemed to be able to see Sean’s expression as if he was talking face-to-face with Sean.
“Well, I guessed it right,” He raised his head and smiled, squinted his eyes, and looked at the sky as if remembering something, “Of course, it’s all just a guess…”
After all, this is just a memory, and Sean can’t have a direct conversation with him. He can only watch quietly like this. Grindelwald looked at the cracked ceiling of the Hogwarts auditorium and did not speak for a long time.
After a while, he lowered his head and continued looking at where Sean was standing. Although in his memory, there should be nothing there.
“If this memory is opened when you are weak, you should not be able to solve the problem. However, you and Albus should not know what happened at that time. All of this should be slowly unfolding, and you will gradually understand. Before you open this memory, everything should be within my expectations, or—” Grindelwald waved his wand, and smoke escaped from the tip, forming the image of two people.
That’s Sean and Dumbledore.
However, Sean is taller than Sean, and his emotion seems more apparent. Professor Dumbledore looks a little strange, as if he was at a young age.
“I know you two very well.” Grindelwald murmured in a low voice.
The flames in the hall seemed to have lost their temperature, and Sean frowned slightly. He had never seen such a lonely emotion from Grindelwald. Combined with the image of himself and Dumbledore just now, he came up with a guess.
In his timeline, Sean and Professor Dumbledore are already dead.
However, Grindelwald himself quickly recovered to his senses. He tossed the Elder Wand in his hand and said, “Sean, I know you are here looking at me. Only you, not Albus, and it wouldn’t be the real me at that time. I also know that you must be thinking about what happened to make me make such a decision. “
He smiled, “Curious, right? But I won’t tell you.”
Sean was a bit irritated, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
Grindelwald smiled, “You must be cursing me in your heart. I agree with you, though I can’t hear it anyway.”
Sean couldn’t help but smile. Across the gap that could never be crossed, they laughed together.
Grindelwald sighed, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but if I tell you everything, the moment you leave this memory, the world will look at you.”
“The memory that shouldn’t exist, the contradictory world timeline, and you, as a wizard who has been involved in many things, as the person at the center of the prophecy. Once you know everything, the world will fully awaken, and it will be too late for you to do anything.”
As he spoke, he spread his hands, feeling a little helpless, “This is my reasoning. But if all goes well, there shouldn’t be any problems. Of course, if you have already found a better solution, I don’t have to worry about it too much. Heh, I didn’t even feel a little shame, given everything was caused by me.”
“This is probably what I learned from you as a student. I like the shameless characteristics from you.”
Sean shook his head when he heard that. Is he that shameless to him?
However, he also captured a message that Grindelwald also used the word student to himself. This shows that on that timeline, he and Grindelwald had also become students and teachers. This may also be the reason why he is sure that the person who can come to this must be Sean himself.
Grindelwald can understand that he can’t tell him the whole truth. Various situations have proved how terrible and sensitive the world is. The only thing that puzzled him was that Dumbledore should have also checked Grindelwald’s memory.
However, it only caused a time incident that was not considered serious. One day’s time was shortened, and another day’s time was extended. This may be because Dumbledore is too influential.
Grindelwald paused for a while and continued, “In my plan, there is only one point. Which is what the world looks like now. This world has not developed according to my plan, let alone a new one. What about your world?”
“Yours will definitely get better,” Grindelwald said with his hands behind his back, his face full of confidence, “This is something I am certain of because two people are better than one, right? “
Two people are better than one?
Could it be that, in that timeline, Grindelwald killed Dumbledore? But why would he say that?
Maybe the complete opposite. In the duel in 1945, Grindelwald was the victor, and the man trapped in prison was Dumbledore.
It is possible that Grindelwald will start a war with Muggles. This war has failed, and this may be the real reason why Grindelwald crossed over.
On the opposite side, Grindelwald continued to speak, “Listen. The problem you may face is because of me.”
“First, the most urgent problem you face should be me. It’s embarrassing to think what would happen later.”
“At that time, you should be confused. You don’t know the truth of the matter enough, and probably no one can talk about it. The world is always listening to everyone’s voices. You must act cautious, as there’s enough trouble already.”
“The solution I gave is to ignore resistance, only focus on one thing, and that is myself.”
Sean frowned. He is quite concerned about him, but to solve this problem, he must also consider the situation of many people involved. If the Returners know this matter, he will definitely find a way to interfere with them.
The old Grindelwald had to use the invisibility cloak to deceive the world and escape the world’s gaze because he was aware of the fact that he traveled through time.
The real Grindelwald is in an emotionally unstable state, his future self has imprisoned him for so long without knowing anything, and when he wakes up, he finds that the world has not turned into what he dreamed of and lost all hope for it.
The way he came up with it was to gain his trust first so that he could cooperate with him and solve the problem together.
He didn’t understand what Grindelwald meant.
“Before solving this problem, let me tell you something. If I travel through time, will the world erase me? The real reason for the world’s acting up is because the changes too much. Time never changes; it flows smoothly. Like a stone protruding in the long river of time that causes the impact, cutting off the water flow. Time does not allow such a thing, and the world will erase that stone because it will greatly impact time.”
“But let’s say,” Grindelwald shook a finger, “What happens when this stone sinks to the bottom of the river and becomes a pebble that should be in this river?”
“Time has become stable again, and it doesn’t care where it flows. The long river of time never fixes the direction it flows because nothing changed.”
Sean moved slightly; he seemed to understand what he meant.
“Yes, Sean. When the two Grindelwalds become one again, you no longer have to worry about how the world will change. Those memories and those things belong to this world.”
“Don’t worry about other things. Even if the world is about to be destroyed, as long as there is only one Grindelwald in the world, everything will be okay, and the world will fix itself.”
“The only thing I want you to pay attention to is,” Grindelwald’s expression became serious, “Consistency.”
Sean blinked suspiciously.
“You can ignore other things; the only thing you need to pay attention to is me.”
“For the world to accept the situation, both of me have to be the same.”
Both Grindelwalds must be the same. Sean frowned and thought.
How could the real Grindelwald and the old Grindelwald be the same? Although they are indeed the same person, the difference of nearly a hundred years of experience has made them completely different. The memory of the two is also completely different.
Sean’s eyes lit up.
Grindelwald will definitely understand himself as long as their experiences are the same and they have the same memories. He even thought of a way to make the real Grindelwald change his mind.
What if he let two of them recover the same memory?
But this doesn’t make sense. If he really wants to do this, he needs to copy the hundred years of memory from Dumbledore. To maintain the consistency between the two, he probably needs to copy the memory of the real Grindelwald when he spent most of his time in prison.
Create these memories into two copies, and give them to two of them respectively.
If there is no pressure from the world, there may still be a little room for him to do it. But at present, it is not realistic to do it at all.
Copying memory is not easy, and absorbing the memory is not easy as well. However, extracting memory is much easier.
If Sean can convince the two of them to draw out their memories after 1899, would that be something?
When the two become one person again, everything becomes a foregone conclusion. The world is fixed, even if time goes by in a normal manner. When the time comes, he hands over the extracted memory to Grindelwald, and the world will never be disturbed again.
The only difficult thing is that while the old Grindelwald can be asked for it, he doesn’t know how to find him. He knows where the real Grindelwald is, but it seems that it is not going to be easy to ask him for that.
At this time, Grindelwald laughed, “Sean, don’t you realize that I have been quiet and watched you for so long?”
“Because I know my only student must be thinking the key to this problem.”
“Yes, pull out the memory, achieve that.”
“And I will help you solve the most difficult problem.”
Grindelwald smiled happily, “Do you think I really didn’t prepare for anything? What is the location and the things that are needed for me? Oh, I know myself too well to know that I will know where I will be hiding.”
“I’m a genius, right?”
“This old man…” Even though what he was facing was only a scene in his memories, Sean couldn’t help sighing.
