Capítulo 108: 108. Invitation
"What happened in Britain?"
"As expected, you've probably noticed that the British Ministry of Magic wants to eliminate you to weaken me," Grindelwald said leisurely, with a teasing tone, looking at Aurelius.
Before, Grindelwald had hoped that Aurelius would be his strongest weapon against Dumbledore.
The behavior of the British Ministry of Magic in this situation irritated Grindelwald.
But now, they have signed a ten-year agreement, so there should be no subordinate relationship between them. Although it's not a hostile relationship, Grindelwald wouldn't mind having a bit of fun seeing Aurelius suffer.
"As expected," Aurelius nodded. "Did Dumbledore cut ties with the Ministry of Magic?"
"How do you know?"
"I am part of the Dumbledore family. Would they attack me without Dumbledore's permission?"
"The Ministry of Magic has banned Dumbledore from teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts," Grindelwald confirmed.
"That's it, Mr. Grindelwald, the British Ministry of Magic is provoking you. They should be coming to Paris," Aurelius teased.
"Haha, but they want to deal with you," Grindelwald wasn't fooled. Watching the fight between tigers from afar was the smartest choice.
It would be best to have a fierce and bloody battle, and even better if it led to Dumbledore breaking ties with the British wizarding world.
The British wizarding world means nothing without Dumbledore!
Seeing that Grindelwald wasn't budging, Aurelius could only shake his head and smile. He knew he never had a chance, so it was a win-win situation.
"It seems that I have to help you this time," Aurelius said with emotion.
"Heh, you're as cunning as a little fox."
"To each other, old fox."
"Hahaha, okay, let's consider it as you helping me once!" Grindelwald agreed readily.
You have to give something in return for a favor.
Grindelwald took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He stood up and said, "Well, thank you for your hospitality, Aurelius. I think it's time for me to go. There's still much to do."
"It's been a pleasure talking to you, Dr. Lindwall."
"Likewise," Grindelwald nodded to Vita, who had come to his side.
Aurelius and Nagini saw them off. Grindelwald didn't speak to Tina and Newt at all. Before leaving, he extended an invitation to Aurelius, "Tonight, I will be giving a lecture at the Père Lachaise Cemetery. If you're free, feel free to come and take a look."
"Must," Aurelius replied.
They watched as they disapparated away.
"Let's go back," Aurelius turned towards the villa, looked at Nagini's angry expression, and asked quizzically, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking like this?"
"That woman! She was mocking me for being sloppy!" Nagini's eyes were filled with anger.
Aurelius looked at Nagini strangely, examining her outfit. She was very well dressed.
When it comes to makeup, Nagini almost never wears any. She doesn't even bother to comb her hair properly, often leaving strands sticking out when she puts it up. However, despite the lack of effort in her appearance, her natural beauty still shines through. The slight dishevelment adds a touch of wild beauty.
The only thing missing on Nagini is jewelry. She typically wears a deep V dress with fish scales, which is both her performance costume and her favorite outfit. She often wears it as regular clothes.
Aurelius thought for a moment and finally understood. "Don't worry about Nagini. Vinda Rosier comes from a French aristocratic family, and her perception of elegance is based on aristocratic etiquette. If you don't wear makeup or jewelry, she will consider you sloppy. It's just a narrow-minded and one-sided perspective. It's a distorted aesthetic," Aurelius explained.
"That woman is so pretentious. I don't know who she thinks she is," Nagini retorted, still filled with resentment.
From the moment they met, Nagini and Vinda seemed to be at odds with each other.
A black Swan from a noble family, and a Snake from the slums. The black swan takes pride in its nobility and elegance. It looks down on the Snake.
"Sir, did he not agree?" Vinda asked doubtfully.
"His ambition is greater than I expected," Grindelwald evaded the question.
"I don't know how to praise you! Sir, do you want to...?"
"Huh?" Grindelwald glanced at cautious Vinda and said nothing more.
She forgot that she should not be too clever.
"He didn't choose to stand with us, but he also didn't become our enemy."
"We seem to be able to accept this outcome."
"It's acceptable, but I have a big question - who is he targeting?" Grindelwald felt a little confused.
According to his prophecy, Aurelius will fight someone in the streets of Paris. At first, he thought it could be Dumbledore, but after learning Aurelius's last name, he suspected it might be him.
But now...
Under the ten-year agreement, it would be impossible for them to fight Aurelius. If he didn't join the Alliance Party, it would also be impossible for them to fight Dumbledore.
Who else?
Could it be Flamel?
Or... ten years from now? Grindelwald considered the possibility that it could also be a prophecy from long ago, predicting Aurelius's future power. However, Aurelius had not yet encountered magic a year ago.
Grindelwald acknowledged that, regardless of their talents, he and Dumbledore were the only ones capable of fulfilling the prophecy. To be honest, Grindelwald did not possess such strength when he was eighteen or nineteen.
Sochoro approached and asked about the current situation.
Grindelwald did not disclose whether the mission was successful, and Sochoro did not press further.
He had come to Paris solely as an ally to attend Grindelwald's rally.
"Mr. Sochoro, I will fulfill my promise after the meeting," Grindelwald assured.
"That's good to hear," Sochoro nodded.
"I always keep my word."
