"Of course." Dumbledore said without hesitation: "Liberate the wizards and let all wizards live freely in the sun."
Kyle twitched his ears again.
"That's right, but you don't think that we can achieve this ideal just by staying in Godric's Hollow." Grindelwald said in a deep voice: "We must go out. Only by going to every corner of the world can we achieve this great ideal."
His tone was full of enthusiasm.
“I think we should take the first step.”
"What do you want to do?" asked Dumbledore.
"Go to the highlands south of the valley," Grindelwald said. "I heard from my aunt that wizards once lived there, and it seems to be related to what I have been looking for..."
At this point, Grindelwald's voice suddenly became much softer, so soft that Kyle couldn't hear what he said at all.
"Those three things, you mean?" asked Dumbledore.
"That's right... I have to find it... to achieve my ideal..."
The sound is intermittent and cannot be heard clearly.
There was another long silence.
"We should leave here." Grindelwald's voice became clear again. "It won't take too long. Let's just treat it as a try."
Perhaps because he had been drinking, or perhaps because Hogwarts had not yet started and he wanted to indulge himself, Dumbledore agreed to Grindelwald's proposal after a brief silence.
"Great, let's go now!"
Grindelwald said excitedly, "But before that, I think we should do something to commemorate this great first step."
"what's up?"
"I know a special magical contract that is perfect for witnessing our friendship." Grindelwald's voice was filled with undisguised excitement. "Come with me..."
He pulled Dumbledore and hurriedly left the bar.
Kyle raised his head again.
"Are you awake?" Code next to him looked over and said, "What happened to you today? You passed out after just two drinks."
"Maybe I didn't get enough rest." Kyle said perfunctorily: "I'm going back first, we'll meet again tomorrow."
"No problem, get out of here." Code waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't delay my drinking."
Kyle smiled, stood up and left the bar.
But he did not go back to the room upstairs. Instead, he walked around and left the bar.
He had a premonition that something big might happen tonight, and even if he might be discovered, he had to go and witness it with his own eyes, otherwise he might regret it for the rest of his life.
After leaving the bar, Kyle walked quickly along a path and put on an invisibility cloak, a prop that is more concealed than magic and less likely to be discovered.
Five minutes later, he finally saw Dumbledore and Grindelwald in front of him. The two came to the abandoned barn, pushed open the door and walked in.
Kyle looked around.
It would be impossible to follow him in. Even if he was protected by an invisibility cloak, he would definitely be discovered. But if he didn't go in, the barn was closed off and he wouldn't be able to see what was happening inside.
Wait... there's a place that might be able to do that.
Kyle looked towards Dumbledore's house not far away, or to be more precise, the attic at the highest point of his house.
The barn window faces that place, so one can definitely see what's going on in the barn from the other side. That's where Ariana lives, and if one makes any noise, it might wake her up.
There were voices coming from the barn, like some kind of spell...
“Never mind.” Kyle gritted his teeth and used his broom to reach the top of the attic. He tried to move lightly, crouched there, and looked into the barn through the invisibility cloak.
Very good, although the window is small, Dumbledore and Grindelwald are standing in the middle, so he can see them just fine. The only problem is that he can't see clearly.
Kyle quickly took out the Omnibionicles, a gadget he had bought at the Quidditch World Cup a few years ago, which came in handy now.
Through the telescope, the situation in the barn became much clearer.
After some delay, they had finished the spell. In the barn, the two young men stood opposite each other, each with an unprecedented piety on their faces.
The faint magic runes swirled and flickered around the two of them, adding a sense of solemnity and mystery to the dilapidated barn.
Grindelwald produced a knife in his hand and cut it across his palm. Blood oozed from the tip of the knife, which was suspended in the air under the cover of magic runes.
Next up was Dumbledore.
A part of the magic runes penetrated into the cracked wounds on the palms of the two men. The young men's trembling hands were clasped together, and more magic runs emerged, flying around like crazy.
The number of magic runes increased and the speed became faster and faster, like a long silver chain wrapped around the two people's clasped wrists.
The other end of the chain was connected to the area around the blood that had just dripped. When the light faded, the magic rune turned into a diamond-shaped silver shell, and the original blood drop was preserved in the middle, flashing a strange light.
The diamond-shaped silver ornament that contained Grindelwald's blood was connected to the chain on Dumbledore's wrist, and the corresponding other one naturally fell into Grindelwald's hands.
From then on, the blood alliance was completed.
This contract made with the blood of wizards is extremely binding. It can be said that from now on, they are equivalent to sharing the same body and cannot hurt each other... Even if they have such a thought, it will be captured by the contract and they will be punished accordingly.
In the barn, the two young men hugged each other tightly. After a moment, they talked about something together, then left the barn at the same time, disappearing quickly into the night, apparently heading for the so-called southern highlands.
At the same time, Kyle on the attic also put down the camera in his hand with satisfaction.
He had bought this thing in order to record Fred and George's dirty laundry. It was the latest model of magic item at the time, and unlike the cheap ones on the market that were equipped with extra flashlights, it was extremely concealed.
Now it seems that the money was well spent. The two people were so focused on concluding the blood pact that they didn't notice that someone was recording their scenes from a distance.
As long as he goes back to develop the photos and soak them in developing solution, Kyle will have a complete set of precious photo albums.
Kyle happily put away his camera and prepared to go down from the attic.
"who are you?"
A voice came from behind, startling Kyle.
At some point, the attic window was pushed open, and a little girl was leaning half of her body out, looking over here.
It has to be said that her action was very dangerous and she could fall at any time, but Kyle didn't dare to remind her.
Kyle didn't know how he had disturbed Ariana. He could only try not to make any noise, hoping that Ariana would not see anyone and go back by herself.
He has an invisibility cloak on him, so the other party shouldn't be able to see him... right?
"Why aren't you talking? Why are you in my attic? And what are you wearing? What a magical outfit."
"Can you see me?" Kyle asked as he lifted up his Invisibility Cloak.
Now that it's clear, there's no point in pretending any longer. Besides, letting a little girl lie in mid-air is also a dangerous thing.
"I can't see it." Ariana shook her head, "But I know there is someone here."
Kyle estimated that this situation was most likely due to Obscurus... Although he didn't know the principle, this was the only explanation that could make it make sense.

Chapter 840 Ariana
At night in Godric's Hollow, Dumbledore and Grindelwald eloped... well, that is to say, they privately signed a blood pact in the barn and then ran away.
On the roof of the attic of Dumbledore's house, a teenage girl was struggling to climb out of the window and using her hands and feet to reach the roof.
"What were you wearing just now?" She walked to Kyle's side and asked again curiously, "Why couldn't I see you just now?"
"Invisibility cloak, also known as invisible cape." Kyle said, "It is a small prop that makes others unable to see you."
He took the Invisibility Cloak and draped it over Ariana's shoulders, and the little girl immediately cried out in surprise.
"Ah, it's really gone."
Then she quickly covered her mouth and looked towards a window next to her in panic. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she found there was no movement there. She continued to look at the missing half of her body curiously.
"What's wrong?" Kyle also turned his head. If he guessed correctly, that should be Aberforth's room...
"No, nothing." Ariana shook her head quickly and lowered her voice, "We'd better be quiet, otherwise we will wake up Brother Aberforth. He is scary when he is angry."
"It's okay," Kyle said with a smile, pulling a scream book from his pocket.
This is a product of Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, a gadget that imitates the restricted section of a library. As soon as it was opened, a shrill scream came out from inside.
Ariana was frightened and turned to run to the attic.
But she soon discovered that Aberforth, who would wake up immediately at the slightest noise, still had no intention of turning on the light in his room.
Ariana suddenly panicked.
"Don't worry, he's fine, he just can't hear any noise from our side." Kyle explained hurriedly.
"Can't hear it?" Ariana turned her head in confusion, "Why can't I hear it? Brother Aberforth has very good hearing."
"Ear-blocking spell." Kyle said softly, "It's a very practical and simple magic. You can do it too."
As he said this, Kyle was observing Ariana.
After hearing the word "magic", a faint black mist inexplicably emerged from her shoulders, which was quite conspicuous even at night, but she herself did not seem to notice the changes in herself.
"I can... too?" Ariana asked in confusion.
"Yes, you are a witch, of course you can." Kyle continued, with some kind of bewitching voice.
This time, there was obvious resistance in Ariana's eyes, her expression became dazed, and the black mist on her shoulders became more obvious, even spreading to her arms.
The black mist drifted and fell on the tiles on the roof, which immediately turned into powder.
This is silence.
Kyle felt nervous.
Without exception, the Silents are extremely resistant to using magic and their own identities as wizards, and will subconsciously reject all topics related to this.
At this time, Ariana had reached the critical point. Kyle believed that if he said anything more about magic, the black mist would instantly break free from the restraints on Ariana's body and rush over to tear him into pieces.
But this was what Kyle did on purpose, and he had already gotten the answer he wanted.
Ever since he got here, he had thought about checking on Ariana.
She is Dumbledore's knot... Dumbledore even doesn't care about the wizarding world and Voldemort, but he still comes back, which is enough to explain the problem.
If I do nothing, I'm afraid Dumbledore will not leave with me easily, even if I'm here to save him.
