Chapter 164 The Ugly Duckling and the White Swan
Anne packed all her things with a heavy heart, and left her letter to William on the table, hoping that this careless guy would find out.
She had just celebrated her 17th birthday, and Zong Si completely lifted the restriction.
On her birthday, she made an unspoken wish.
I hope everything can return to the right track and everyone can live happily.
"Don't worry, with your dad and I here! I'm sure everything can be achieved!" William said excitedly, "If you don't blow out the candles, I will blow them out for you."
After William finished speaking, he puffed up his mouth to blow out the candles. Anne had already understood the little thoughts of the old father William.
"My wish just now was to empty your coffers."
"Pfft...cough cough cough...rebellious!"
Annie looked at William Zhazha, who didn't expect him to be so naughty even in his 40s.
"In a blink of an eye, you are also 17 years old." The light of the candles reflected everyone's face, and William said with emotion, "17 years...it turns out that the days go by so quickly."
He watched Annie grow from a baby to an adult, and the two of them laughed and played more than ordinary father and daughter, and he also understood that the story of "Harry Potter" is coming to an end in the seventh year .
"When the story is over, let's enjoy life!"
Annie immediately hugged William, "Thank you, I am really grateful to have met you, William, you are a very competent father, and I really love you both."
Annie was afraid that if she didn't say it now, she would have no chance to say it in the future.
Jane wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and Bailey also felt sore eyes all of a sudden, Eric blushed with embarrassment, Mary and Mike watched this touching scene arm in arm.
Even Chris, an old man, was moved to tears.
Shelby was also shocked by her sister's remarks.
Hey, she's still grateful.
"Smelly girl, don't say these things make me cry... our family will always be together." William patted his daughter's shoulder jerky.
After reminiscing about her birthday, Annie put all her things in a backpack, and she looked back at her room. The plush toys on the bed were bought for her by Jane.
In the drawer in front of the bedside table were the Lei Feng hat Chris bought her in first grade, the glasses William sent her in second grade, and knickknacks from the Gardners.
Well, it's time to go.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Eric standing at her door with a solemn expression.Annie was a little surprised, "It's so late, don't you go to bed?"
"I want to ask you instead, I've been watching you sneaky for the past few days...what are you going to do?" Eric held the door frame with one hand, preventing her from leaving.
"There are things I have to do, and it has to be done by me."
Annie wanted to slip under his arm, but was hugged by him with one arm around his waist. In a panic, Annie drew out her wand and pointed it at him.
"Why, what kind of spell are you going to cast on me? Forgetting Curse? Or Stunning Curse?" Eric didn't relax, but kept asking her, "I don't know what you are going to do, but I have a hunch, feeling You're not coming back."
"Even if you cast a spell on me, as long as I don't forget you, I will still find you missing." Eric said, "Do you need to delete you from my memory?"
"You know I won't do this, Eric, I'm your sister, and it's been years since I said this, but this time you can't stop me." Annie put down her wand, "Nobody can stop me."
"Then I'll be with you." Eric let go of his hand, "I know you've been packing things secretly, so so have I."
"Eric, this is no joke!" Annie said angrily.
How could she take Eric with her?She is going to destroy Tom Riddle, is she going to let Eric watch her die with Tom Riddle?
"If you don't take me with you, I'll wake them up now so you can't leave."
Eric has always been so cunning, mastering Annie's weaknesses firmly.
"I can't put you in danger. Listen, it's really dangerous. I don't want you to have any accidents with me. I did something wrong, and now it's up to me to end it."
"Then can I stand by and watch you get into danger?! I will never allow you to have any accidents! Anne Panik! Do you hear me!"
After a long time, Annie agreed. She thought that after a few days of suffering with her, Eric might not be able to bear it and went back.
"Okay, keep your voice down, you're going to wake them up if you keep making this noise."
The two carried their bags, and the moon was hidden in the dark clouds. Although Eric was not an adult, his wand was still connected to traces, but he didn't care about it anymore. Voldemort's target now was Harry Potter, and Eric Gardner has nothing to do with it.
Anne stretched out her wand to the side of the road, and the Knight Bus appeared in the night, and the conductor was a wizard Anne had never seen before.
The conductor remained silent, Anne and Eric each paid eleven Sickles, and the driver, Ern Pullan, apologized as he drove.
"Sorry, our new conductor is inexperienced, and that kid Stan Sambuck is gone!"
"It's ok."
"Where are you going?" The fat wizard's name was Gray Robin. He had a hideous scar on his face and a big rosacea nose.
"...to Paris."
"France? That's far away! I suggest you book a bed!" Gray suddenly became hospitable, "Of course, tip..."
"Okay, thank you." Eric continued to give him the money without saying a word.
It is impossible to fall asleep in such a bumpy car. Eric and Annie are sitting together. Annie just communicated with Miranda a few days ago. Both Miranda and Blaise are willing to help her collect information on the Riddle forces. The latest According to sources, Riddle is recruiting in Paris.
Exactly the same as Grindelwald back then.
"Now can you tell me why you left?" Eric asked cautiously.
"Okay... Eric, to put it simply, I let an evil guy go, because I let go, so I have to clean up the mess."
"We'll beat him, that's okay."
"Remember that guy who called himself my...fiancé...to you at the Eglint Ball? That's the guy."
"I knew he was not a good thing." Eric said angrily, "The two of us will destroy him together."
"I hope so."
"I still remember the way you wore skirts when you were a child." Anne teased Eric, as if this could pass the long night.
"We were having a 'wedding' back then, weren't we? That was stupid."
"How are you and Amy?"
"Amy..."
She is already with me.
Annie and Eric leaned against each other, waiting for their stops.

Dumbledore lived in Grindelwald Manor for some time, and there was a study room with a lot of books in the manor, where he usually read books for entertainment.
"Professor, what are you reading?" Miranda gently knocked on the door of the study.
"Oh... I'm reading Muggle fairy tales, very interesting." Dumbledore flipped through "Andersen's Fairy Tales", "Am I dead to the outside world?"
"Yes, so that's why I can't let you out. Since you were willing to hand me your wand last time, everyone saw your wand there and believed that the greatest white wizard in the world, Albus Dumbledore Lido is dead, doesn't that also mean that you are willing to do this?"
Dumbledore didn't speak, it seems that what he left to the three children should also be in their hands.He hoped that Miss Granger could figure it out, and that the three children could work together.
"By the way, Uncle has returned." Just as Miranda finished speaking, Dumbledore's book fell to the floor, and the illustration on the page was an ugly duckling.
"The ugly duckling has always wanted to blend in with the friends around him, but it is still not an ordinary poultry. One day it will turn into a swan... But after it returns, will it remember that those companions once abandoned it?" Dumbledore said The book was picked up.
"So this is a fairy tale, and I didn't continue to write it down."
Dumbledore looked up, an old face with sunken eye sockets, a well-trimmed white beard, and a plain robe on his body.
"………It's you."
"That place can't hold me at all, you know." Gellert Grindelwald sat opposite Dumbledore, the two were silent for a while, and suddenly they both laughed.
Dumbledore's eyes glistened with tears, "Does the ugly duckling care?"
"It depends on what the swan thinks," Gellert said. "Half a century later...you still don't want to do it yourself, Voldemort...you are fully capable of destroying that guy before he rises."
"I always thought that I could influence him, but I found that the child went further and further away."
"Albus, you've done too many "what you think" things, and every time it doesn't end well."
"Why did you come out to see me?"
"My sins have been atoned for. I think I've only been imprisoned for half a century, but it's time for me to do something, and it's time for those boys to stop jumping."
Dumbledore saw Miranda coming over with tea, "That child has really changed you a lot. She is very similar to you, but not at all like you."
"She was brought up by me. She shouldn't forget those hatreds, but she shouldn't let the thorns of hatred stop her from going forward. I'm no longer the Dark Lord...I'm just an old witch now."
"And Albus Dumbledore is dead," said Dumbledore knowingly.

When William saw the letter, he was stunned for a while.His vision was gradually blurring, and tears dripped onto the paper, mushing the ink.
