บท 218: This Santa Looks Familiar...(1)
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting a diamond treasure chest!]
Blake looked at the six diamond chests in his storage.
Satisfied, he closed the system space.
Another wave would come at Christmas time.
It would be possible to synthesize a Supreme chest again.
Thinking about it this way, the speed was actually not very fast.
Blake put his broom back in the broom shed.
Then changed out of Hufflepuff's team jersey and prepared to go back to take a hot bath.
In the distance, he saw Dumbledore waiting for him in the corridor.
He smiled and looked at Blake, "You performed very well today, Blake."
"The broom that Mr Flamel made for you works really well." Blake shrugged.
"Otherwise you wouldn't be able to fly so comfortably."
Dumbledore and Blake walked down the corridor side by side.
He suddenly asked, "...do you have any plans of becoming a Quidditch player?"
"I think, at your level, you can definitely be a good Quidditch superstar."
Blake shook his head, "I don't really want to be an athlete."
Dumbledore snorted.
Then he asked casually,
"So what are you going to do next?"
Blake glanced at Dumbledore.
"My words... I really want to be an explorer."
"The world is huge, and I want to take a good look at it."
Dumbledore smiled.
"Okay explorer, you can look around..."
"You probably don't know, especially in this cold weather, it's a dream of mine to go to Australia."
"But you know, I'm so old that I am close to retiring."
"I will go with you in the future."
Blake paused, then continued, "If it's okay... can we bring another old man?"
Dumbledore's expression turned cold, "He's a bad person, he can't come with us..."
"Huh? Uncle Aberforth is a sinner?" Blake asked suspiciously.
"Er...you were talking about Aberforth?" Dumbledore looked taken aback.
"That's right... otherwise, who do you think I was talking about?"
"I was wrong. Of course, Aberforth is fine. It's just that he might not want to go with me..."
"We are all a family, and it will get better."
There seems to be no problem with the conversation between the old and the young.
But it was a small test for each other...
Dumbledore was testing whether Blake had Grindelwald's ambitions.
So he asked him about his future plans.
Blake, on the other hand, was testing whether Dumbledore might forgive Grindelwald.
So he asked him if he could take an old man with him.
As a result,
Blake didn't seem to have the idea of calling out and gathering people to make trouble.
And for Blake's idea of wanting to be an explorer.
Dumbledore expressed his support.
But so far it seemed that it should still be difficult for Dumbledore to forgive Grindelwald.
Then Blake said, they were all a family and it would get better.
It means that he had not given up on this idea...
Still, Dumbledore could understand Blake's thoughts.
After all, as far as he knew, Grindelwald was not honest.
He would secretly give this child some help behind Dumbledore's own back...
For example, letting the house elf Beck take care of the child's daily life and the like.
Take Blake's kind-hearted personality as a kid.
How could he not remember Grindelwald's kindness to him?
It was only natural to want to intercede for him.
But...
Although that guy has been in prison for so many years,
It was still hard to trust him after all...
Even if you want to believe him.
His former followers were numerous.
And many of those followers were still alive.
If he came out even if he didn't want to do anything,
Grindelwald was afraid the people under him could still convince him to go back to his old ways.
So, he continued to stay in Nurmengard.
It was the best choice now.
"You go back, you need to rest now."
"And...I think they must have prepared a big celebration for you in the common room."
Waiting until Blake turned to leave.
Dumbledore watched Blake's back silently.
No one knew what he was thinking in his mind.
Christmas.
It was supposed to be a family reunion day.
But Newt was alone now.
Carrying his own suitcase.
Walking in the cold streets of London.
He looked at his watch.
Then turned into an unobtrusive alley.
And at the end of the alley.
A battered leather boot was placed next to the dustbin.
He looked around.
After seeing no one.
Only then did he put his hands on the broken leather boots.
Newt raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
In the next second.
"Whoosh!"
The broken boots, along with Newt, all disappeared down the alley!
Back in Godric Valley.
Newt's figure suddenly appeared from an alley again.
He walked out of the alley.
He took out a note on the street and looked at it.
After identifying the direction.
He went west.
After a while.
He stopped in front of a house.
"Here's the address Blake gave me," Newt said to himself.
"However...why does this house look so new?"
He put the note away.
Then he walked slowly to the door.
Taking other people's children away at Christmas...
He had never done it.
It was his first time, so he was a little nervous...
He recalled what Blake had taught him again.
Then he just took a deep breath.
He raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Coming."
A pleasant voice came from inside the house.
Then the door was opened.
Dumbledore and Newt looked at each other in the doorway.
"Eh..."
Newt looked at Dumbledore's pose.
His heart was full of small question marks.
Dumbledore was wearing a Santa hat at this time.
And a red robe.
Even the nose is painted red with red paint.....
Newt was stunned.
'Wasn't this Blake's house?'
'Why was Dumbledore at Blake's house?'
And... this shape...
Not to mention, it really looked like Santa Claus!
This kind of thing shouldn't be the focus right now!
"Who's here?"
Another voice came from behind Dumbledore.
Newt looked back.
Then he saw the second "Santa Claus"
"Aberforth?!"
Newt looked at Dumbledore and then at Aberforth.
He felt that his brain's CPU was a bit insufficient.
'Weren't these two brothers at odds?'
'Why are they getting together for Christmas now?'
'And also why are they cosplaying as Santa Claus together?'
'Wait! I forgot the most crucial point again!'
'Isn't this Blake's house?!'
Newt was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
He asked his first sentence of the day.
"You... how are you here?"
Dumbledore and Aberforth exchanged glances.
Then Dumbledore said helplessly, "This is my home."
This was his house, and Newt came up to him and asked him why he was at his house, which sounded weird.
However, Newt didn't know this was his home.
So it was not surprising that such a question was asked.
Newt stared at Dumbledore and Aberforth with wide eyes.
He felt like his brain was not enough.
