《HP三十五只猫头鹰的来信（未授权自译）又名：格林德沃与邓布利多的通信集》妞子酱

13、GG-AD

　　1956年9月27日，

　　邓布利多，

　　很讶异你会在伏地魔这家伙的事儿上请求我的帮助，而更惊讶的是你居然未告诉我原因。（英国短语“家伙”是这么拼吗？）都是一些我过去的老本行。那个家伙被死亡迷住了，即使作为黑巫师，这也有些不寻常。他惧怕死亡，已到了非常夸张、言过其实的地步，可以说是有些变态了。估计你已经对这些有所了解。不过他还没有踏上寻找圣器的道路，幸好是这样，希望追寻那些东西的自大狂越少越好。

　　还有，他钻研出一种改良杀戮咒的怪理论——但我认为没什么用。再有就是关于魂器，谈的都是些乱七八糟的。死亡本就是顺其自然、水到渠成的事儿，体面地迎接死亡可比半死不活好多了。

　　阿不思，我不恨你，从未恨过你。以后你也不会对我再做什么过分的事，因此将来也不会恨你。这才是我想对你说的。

　　盖勒特·格林德沃

　　另，格特鲁德说，“身份是一种认知，你会从你和他人的记忆里找到自己并认清自己，而当你身在其中的时候，就不是这样了。”

　　Dumbledore,

　　The peculiar thing is that you've given me no particular reason to want to help you with this Voldemort bloke. (That would be the correct British term, yes? Bloke?) It was mostly technical. Obsessed with death, that one, even for a Dark wizard. Terrified of it, even as he nursed delusions of grandeur. Unhealthy attitude. But you probably knew that already. He was not on the path of the Hallows. Probably just as well. The fewer upstarts after that sort of thing, the better.

　　He was mostly on about his crackpot theory to improve the Killing Curse--won't work out, I think. That and Horcruxes. Woolly business. I like all my bits in one place where they belong, and if somebody's good enough to take me out I'd rather die properly, none of this floating about half-alive nonsense.

　　I don't hate you, Albus. I never have, and at this point there's nothing worse you can do to me, so I never will. That's the problem.

　　Gellert Grindelwald

　　P.S. Getrude says, And identity is funny being yourself is funny as you are never yourself to yourself except as you remember yourself and then of course you do not believe yourself.
