For the Greater Good-Dumbledore

Sean's hand holding the letter was trembling slightly, and he swallowed hard, his throat bobbing.

In the letter, Grindelwald used a lot of text to explain the principle of the Philosopher's Stone creating immortal bodies, and one word kept appearing: immortality.

Sean had never been exposed to anything related to alchemy, but even without understanding Grindelwald's methods, just looking at him gave him the creeps. In the letter, he mentioned experiments multiple times in an extremely calm and casual tone, and the so-called experiments would be carried out on living people...

The letter ended with. "Albus, I am very sorry about what happened to Ariana, but I stand by my principles, which is the noblest goal of my life, and only you, Albus, can understand me."

"We've talked about the Philosopher's Stone too many times, and you can see that the method I'm talking about has a very high probability of success—it's one of my efforts over the years to make up for it."

This is the only thing I regret in my life, and the first time I've felt remorse. Because of you— Ariana, I will do everything in my power to resolve your situation. You no longer need to carry this burden. Come, my friend, become the Master of Death, and let us usher in a new era—"

"Your eternal comrade-in-arms: Gellert."

After reading the letter, Sean unconsciously took a deep breath. Just as he had guessed, a conflict had broken out between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, probably still related to Dumbledore's brother Aberforth, and Ariana had been drawn into the conflict.

The difference is that Ariana did not die in an accident this time. However, although she survived, she must have suffered some unfortunate events, which led to a falling out between Dumbledore and Grindelwald.

Clearly, the relationship between the two had not completely broken down. Grindelwald spent a long time turning the idea of using the Philosopher's Stone to create a body, which they had once discussed, into a feasible method. He wanted to use this to win back Dumbledore and get the two of them back on the same side.

The elderly Bathilda Bathilda was unable to fulfill Grindelwald's request, Dumbledore never received the letter...

What intrigued Sean even more was that the letter should have been bundled with a package, but Bathilda couldn't find it...

This letter was recalled when he arrived in Godric's Hollow, and he was even mistaken for Grindelwald.

Similarly, can a long-forgotten letter have an effect similar to the Pensieve?

Strange, so strange...

Before his eyes, the young Dumbledore and Grindelwald were chatting happily, discussing magic, ideals, and their shared great dream. Even Sean, who already knew, found it hard to believe that the two were now so close.

He followed the two men up to the second floor, where he saw Dumbledore's young brother, Aberforth.

Aberforth wasn't very friendly to the two of them; he barged between them and bumped into Grindelwald's shoulder.

Grindelwald whistled, gave Aberforth a defiant smile, and was then pulled away by Dumbledore.

They went into an attic and sat down facing each other in front of an unburnt fireplace.

"Ugh..." Sean blinked, feeling a chill run down his spine.

The decor here looked so familiar; when he went from the Vanishing Cabinet to Newmontgard, the rooms were furnished exactly the same way.

Grindelwald sat back down in his chair and casually crossed his legs on the coffee table, his expression languid and content. "Albus, you don't fit into this family."

Dumbledore didn't refute him, but simply explained, "Aberforth just feels that I haven't been paying enough attention to Ariana lately..."

Grindelwald smiled. "They've trapped you, trapped one of the greatest wizards of this century."

"Don't say that, Gellert ..." Dumbledore didn't agree with Grindelwald, but his expression showed some interest.

At this stage, Dumbledore, confined to the house to care for his sister, was indeed somewhat dissatisfied. He felt trapped in a boring village, forced to fulfill family responsibilities, and Grindelwald's ideas had captivated him.

Seeing Dumbledore's expression, Grindelwald smiled slightly. He was satisfied with the effect he had achieved, so he readily changed the subject. "Albus, I've gotten some information about the Elder Wand..."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up immediately. "You have news?"

"Of course," Grindelwald shifted his legs, "Gregorovitch."

"Gregorovitch?" Dumbledore. "I remember it was a rumor, just like your target here, the first owner of the Invisibility Cloak, Ignotus Peverell, who rests here, but we haven't found any clues."

"I have received definite information that Gregorovitch wants to use the Elder Wand to enhance his reputation as a wandmaker. Most people think he is lying, but I am now certain that the Elder Wand is in his hands."

Dumbledore had unwavering faith in his best friend, and he grew somewhat excited. "The Elder Wand, I'm getting excited..."

"It's not just the Elder Wand, Albus," Grindelwald licked his lips excitedly. "Our goal is to find the three Deathly Hallows. If we can obtain the power of Death God, overthrowing the Statute of Secrecy will be within our grasp. Then, Ariana can live freely in the sunlight. Under the new order, wizards won't have to hide in the sewers like ugly rats..."

Dumbledore's breathing became heavier as the two brilliant young men locked eyes, their smiles growing wider.

Grindelwald beckoned, and two goblets filled with pale yellow liquid flew into their hands.

"Respectfully yours, Albus."

"To you, Gellert."

The two drank it all in one gulp, their smiles filled with appreciation for each other and anticipation for the future.

" For the For the Greater Good— " Dumbledore said first, and Grindelwald firmly grasped his best friend's raised fist.

Sean watched all of this quietly from the side.

If this accident hadn't happened, and these two had joined forces, the world would be very different today...

Wait a minute... Sean frowned.

Does that mean that if Bagshot and the package were given to Dumbledore Bathilda, the two would reconcile?

They will continue to work together towards their common goal.

Sean's breathing became rapid.

This letter, which was never handed over, may have changed the course of history...
