Listening to Grindelwald's words, Kyle felt as if something fell from the sky and hit him accurately.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a large barrel filled with vinegar.

It felt like a Hufflepuff who wanted to go back to the common room but punched the wrong signal and got covered in jealousy.

The entire box… an area almost half the size of the Forbidden Forest, was filled with a strong smell of vinegar.

Too sour...

Kyle subconsciously took a step back, trying to keep himself as far away from Grindelwald as possible.

"Maybe it's because I'm a student..." Kyle's eyes were vague, and he tried hard to look less guilty.

"A student with a good character and excellent grades will always be favored by the principal, right?"

"Perhaps it's true that you have excellent grades..." Grindelwald walked gracefully and circled around Kyle.

"I saw some very interesting memories from the gentleman who gave me the wand... Do you want to know what they are?"

"Sir, it's wrong to peek into other people's memories," Kyle said carefully.

Grindelwald paused for a moment, and even his voice became a lot heavier for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal.

Grindelwald continued to circle Kyle, whispering, "Many people think that I am an evil dark wizard who started the wizard war, but do you know when I used the killing curse on my enemy for the first time?"

“I don’t know…”

"Seventeen years old." Before Kyle could finish, Grindelwald said, "When I was still studying at Durmstrang, although I was obsessed with studying the dark arts and experimenting on my classmates, I never thought of killing them.

"Then they fired me, and I never had that opportunity again."

Grindelwald seemed to be lost in his memories, talking about these experiences that no one was interested in like telling a story...

Well...except Dumbledore, who listened quite carefully.

Although Kyle didn't want to listen, he didn't want to disturb him.

Grindelwald turned around and continued, "And that ugly creature called the Dark Lord..."

"When was the first time he killed someone?" This question was asked to Dumbledore.

"As far as I know, it was in the fifth year." Dumbledore thought for a moment and said, "Myrtle, that should be the first time he actively killed a wizard. His age was... sixteen."

"Sixteen is not too young," Grindelwald said, "but I know a man who was eleven years old, in his first year at school, and killed an illegal Animagus in the forest."

"Oh, by the way, I killed another werewolf during the holidays." Grindelwald stared at Kyle, almost naming him.

"I didn't, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Kyle denied it, "The Animagus rat was killed by Oren, it has nothing to do with me.

"As for the werewolf, I was only trying to protect myself. Besides, it was only injured at that time, not dead yet."

"Ah, it has nothing to do with you...self-preservation..." Grindelwald narrowed his eyes, "What an indestructible reason."

"Where is the second-year professor, Quirinus Quirrell?" Grindelwald continued, not noticing that Snape next to him was sweating with nervousness.

Maybe he noticed it, but didn't care.

"Let me guess. You must have killed him to protect yourself, right?"

"This has nothing to do with me." Kyle shook his head repeatedly. "He wanted to die with us, so he used a large-scale Fiendfyre Curse. Fortunately, Dumbledore showed up in time and saved Harry and me."

"I can testify to this." Dumbledore nodded beside him, "Quirina Quirrell did die from the Fiendfyre. Kyle didn't know the spell at that time."

"You are just too trusting, Albus." Grindelwald snorted coldly without commenting.

"And the third grade..."

"Nothing happened to the third graders." Kyle said first: "Although many people were injured, they are all alive, including Professor Lockhart, who only lost his memory. No one died."

"What about your other Animagus from fourth year?"

"Peter? He deserves it."

"Another indestructible reason." Grindelwald said meaningfully, but did not refute.

"I don't need to tell you about the fifth-year Triwizard Tournament." He took a step forward, staring at Kyle with cloudy eyes. "You were even sent to the Ministry of Magic for trial.

"And most importantly, you have completely dropped your disguise since then. Especially after you graduated, more and more wizards have been killed by you."

"It seems that you are more terrifying than me and that Tom." Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore intentionally or unintentionally. "At least when I was eleven years old, I didn't kill other wizards, and I didn't have the idea of ​​killing other wizards."

"I told you, that rat Animagus named Pochi was killed by Oren." Kyle repeated it again helplessly. He couldn't take the blame for this.

"Also, I don't know where you got those messy wild memories from..." Kyle also stared at Grindelwald.

"But I can tell you clearly that before the Battle of Hogwarts, my magic was cleaner than the snowflakes that had not fallen to the ground in winter."

"You don't need to remind me of this." Grindelwald smiled, "I actually noticed it when you came last time."

"This is the scariest part, isn't it?" Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore again, looking as if he was putting eye drops on him.

It’s like meeting Merlin… Kyle’s mouth twitched.

But Dumbledore's expression didn't change at all. He knew the truth very well, and he wouldn't be shaken by a few words from Grindelwald.

And in his current state where he couldn't even hold his wand, his ideas seemed to be useless. Even if Kyle would become the next Dark Lord, he couldn't stop it.

"Let's make a deal." Seeing that Grindelwald was about to continue speaking, Kyle immediately reached out and took out three photos.

But he held it upside down, and Grindelwald could only see some words written on the back of the photo, which looked like notes.

【sad】

【surprise】

【Marriage certificate】

"How about you pick one and then we can end this topic," Kyle said.

"What is this?" Grindelwald raised an eyebrow. "Your photo diary? I'm not interested."

"I don't think so." Kyle said confidently, "And I can guarantee that you will be interested. After seeing the photos carefully, you may even be unable to resist grabbing the remaining two."

"But I have to tell you in advance that you can only take one. I can't give you all of them."

"Are you so confident?" Grindelwald stared at the photo, but Kyle moved his hand, revealing a hint of yellow under the photo.

Grindelwald immediately looked away.

"It's just a few photos, is that a big deal?"

"This is a treasure. You can never be too careful with it." Kyle smiled.

"Okay, I want this one." Grindelwald didn't care. He took the photo with the word "Sad" written on it and flipped it open.

It was visible to the naked eye that Grindelwald's pupils shook violently twice, and his originally steady breathing became disordered.

"Give me all of these!" He reached out and grabbed Kyle.

But Kyle had expected this to happen, and when he looked at the photo, he quickly took a few steps back.

Grindelwald missed.

He stepped forward subconsciously.

A cluster of red flames appeared out of nowhere on Kyle's fingers, and the dancing flames were less than an inch away from the photo.

"Stand still, Mr. Grindelwald, or I'll burn all of this."

"You threaten me." Grindelwald looked at Kyle coldly.

"Yes, I am threatening you." Kyle seemed not afraid at all. "And I am not afraid to tell you that these are all carefully captured by me. There is absolutely no second photo, especially this one..."

He took out the document marked "Marriage Certificate" and waved it towards Grindelwald.

"I think you must have guessed that I have been to 1899."

"Yes, when you came to Nurmengard last time, I knew that this was not the first time we met."

"You said... I knew we would meet again." Kyle said softly, recalling his experience in Nurmengard.

"That's right. Ever since I saw your appearance, I suddenly thought of a lot of things and had a lot of bold guesses. Coincidentally, my guesses have always been accurate."

“I don’t believe it,” Kyle said.

"For example, his silly sister who tortured Albus all his life." Grindelwald said with a hint of pride in his tone.

"If there is a chance for Albus to go back to the past, I think he will definitely save Ariana... But this is impossible. If we change the existing facts, the result will only be being trapped in the past and disappearing in the past..."

"And you are in my past memories, which means someone went to save him... What do you think? Am I right?"

Kyle was silent for a moment.

"Why can't it be me who goes to 1899?"

"Because you came to me." Grindelwald said lightly: "And I heard your complaints... You had to come to me because of Albus."

"Just because I mentioned Professor Dumbledore?" Kyle was a little surprised. "In such a short time, you not only guessed the truth of the matter, but also guessed what I was going to ask?"

"If you want to bring Albus back, you must find him first." Grindelwald took two small steps forward calmly, "I said, I am good at some things..."

He suddenly reached out, grabbed the [Surprise], and immediately took it away.

But at this time Kyle reacted instantly, raised his hand suddenly, and the flame of his finger approached the remaining photo again. Because the distance was too close, one corner had begun to yellow and curl.

"stop!"

Grindelwald stepped back in panic.

Kyle then moved Fiendfyre away.

"I admit that you are the most meticulous wizard I have ever seen. You can even say that you are scary, but I am not bad either."

Kyle waved the Fiendfyre and the photo in his hand.

"To tell you the truth, this is what I took in 1899, in the barn..."

Hearing this, Grindelwald's expression changed. "Give it to me... You can ask for anything you want."

Dumbledore's expression also changed.

Barn, 1899…Thinking back to what had happened before and the camera that Kyle never left behind, he suddenly realized something.

"you……"

"That's something I'll have to think about," Kyle said.

"No, you have to give it to me now!"

"you……"

"The things are in my hands, and I have the final say."

Neither Kyle nor Grindelwald paid any attention to Dumbledore, and the two just stared at each other.

During this process, Kyle waved his hand and a fluffy little creature came out from the side.

Before Grindelwald could react, Kyle stuffed the photo into the Niffler's inner pocket.

"If there's danger, eat it," Kyle said.

In almost the blink of an eye, Sniff disappeared into the ground again.

Veins popped on Grindelwald's forehead and he immediately raised his wand, but he did nothing and his expression was uncertain.

After a moment he lowered his wand again.

“I hate the Sniff…”

"I quite like them," Kyle said with a smile, "They are so cute and have outstanding abilities..."

This sentence brought back some bad memories for Grindelwald. He once had a most important thing, which was stolen by a Niffler.

That kind of magical animal is weak and has no means of attack, but it has a strong ability to survive, and its special talents are also very unreasonable.

They can take something without anyone noticing, making them natural thieves.

Yes, even he didn't notice it, otherwise the container carrying the Blood Alliance would not have been stolen.

This was also one of the most frustrating things in Grindelwald's life.

Now, another thing related to the Blood Alliance has also fallen into the hands of Sniffus, and he is not sure that he can catch Sniffus immediately.

In a sense, the Niffler is more difficult to deal with than the leopard cat.

"What do you want?" Grindelwald asked again.

"Like I said, I need to think about it," Kyle said. "For something this expensive, you have to pay a lot to get it back."

"That thing is worthless in the eyes of others."

"So I only hit you." Kyle said as a matter of course, making the veins on Grindelwald's forehead throb.

At this moment, he really wanted to poke Kyle with his wand... no need for spells, just hard work.

The two men confronted each other for nearly ten minutes, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

"Don't forget, we have more important things to do." Dumbledore said, taking the initiative to break the weird atmosphere.

He didn't know why. It was clearly a matter concerning him, but he couldn't get involved in it, and he didn't even have the right to make an opinion.

Even if he is not really alive now, he can't be ignored like this.

Besides, it was a bit too much for Kyle to trade his photos right in front of him.

Dumbledore was angry, so he decided to just... change the subject.

What else could he do? If he could have used a basic lighting spell, he wouldn't have been able to watch Kyle and Grindelwald act so arrogantly just now.

"More important things..." Kyle looked at Dumbledore and blinked in confusion, "So you didn't come here to find me?"

"Not at first." Grindelwald narrowed his eyes. "But it's different now. You must have more than three of those photos."

"That depends on how you interpret it," Kyle said. "I personally prefer to collect photos that have special meanings."

"But I'm not going to give them to you. Just keep two for yourself." He added, making Grindelwald rub his wand in anger.

He thought Newt Scamander was annoying enough, but he didn't expect there was someone even more annoying than him.

No, this Kyle is also related to Newt Scamander... After all, he is too familiar with this kind of box.

Sure enough, it was a mistake not to kill Scamander in the first place.

Grindelwald did not speak, trying to calm himself down. Dumbledore finally found an opportunity and came between the two of them, trying to separate them. He also changed the subject and said, "Kyle, you are right. We are not here to find you, but to find someone else."

"Another person..." Kyle looked at Snape subconsciously.

Besides him, Snape was the only one here.

Kyle suddenly realized that Snape had been a little too quiet when they were talking just now, and he didn't show any surprise when he saw Grindelwald, which was not in line with his character.

Could it be that...

The person Grindelwald just mentioned, the one who gave him the wand and allowed him to see his memories, must be Snape...

Kyle couldn't help but look at Dumbledore.

At this moment he was looking at Snape with a serious face.

"Severus, can you tell me why you gave your wand to Grindelwald?"
