“...... Newmengard Tower...... Collapsed?" Mr. Lucius-Malfoy's voice trembled.

When he was a child, he heard many "stories" from his parents about the tower of Nunmengard......

Legend has it that the tower is surrounded by more than a dozen layers of magical defenses, guarded by hundreds of elite wizards, and is the most impregnable fortress in all of Europe, all for the purpose of imprisoning a notorious dark wizard, Gellert Grindelwald!

Although Grindelwald's influence never touched Britain itself, most of the wizarding world in Europe and North America fell into his reign of terror...... In a sense, he has achieved "achievements" that the Dark Lord (Voldemort) could not have imagined.

And in the end, it was Albus Dumbledore who defeated him in a duel, thus destroying his crazy plans.

Whenever Mr. Abraxas-Malfoy and Mrs. Malfoy (Lucius's parents) brought up the matter, they used a very regretful attitude......

The pure-blood families of the British wizarding community have always been divided into two major factions...... One faction is represented by the Malfoys, Black, Avery and other families, and the other is the Gryffindor family represented by the Dumbledores, Shackle, and Puwitts.

The Slytherins are more grouped and more closely connected to each other, while the Gryffindors are loosely connected, but the hostility between the two factions is quite obvious.

In 1891, Percival Dumbledore was sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban for assaulting three Muggle boys, and Lucius's grandfather, Mr. Brutus Malfoy, was the head of the Law Enforcement Division at the Ministry of Magic.

So after defeating Gellert Grindelwald, Albus Dumbledore went from being an "ordinary" Hogwarts teacher to becoming the preeminent wizard in all of Europe overnight, and soon took over the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts by Armando Duppert......

Although the kind-hearted Headmaster Dumbledore did not take any "revenge" from the Malfoy family, he completely ignored Abrazus-Malfoy's repeated overtures to him.

This is also the most fundamental reason why the Malfoy family finally fell to Voldemort in full force many years later.

......

Sobering up from his childhood memories, Lucius-Malfoy glanced at the boy in front of him in disbelief.

Who would have thought...... The terrifying dark wizard who has been imprisoned for fifty years can actually return?

And the young man in front of him actually said that he could give Lucius a chance to be loyal to the other party.

If the other party is really a wizard loyal to Gellert Grindelwald, then the hatred he showed for Albus Dumbledore before is completely understandable...... After all, it was Dumbledore who kept his master in prison for fifty years.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Lucius took a deep breath and then spoke, "Your Excellency...... I'd love to take your word for it...... But this is a bit too bizarre......"

“...... I don't mean to be offended, but Master Grindelwald has been out of wizarding for too long......" he stammered.

"So...... Do you want me to prove it to you?" the young man in front of him showed a contemptuous smile on his face.

"I'm sorry......," Lucius said quickly.

"It's easy!" said the young man coldly, "In ten minutes, someone will get you out of this prison!"

"Ten minutes?" Lucius Malfoy shuddered.

It's not that he's completely frightened, but because the effect of "Phoenix's Tears" on him is fading, and the effects of the Dementors on him are beginning to become more apparent.

"Why, you don't believe it?" the other party asked coldly.

Lucius curled up in a ball and said intermittently, "No...... Mr...... I mean...... If you can really get out of here...... How do I contact you...... Contact host ......"

"It's very simple, find a safe place to recuperate, and wait for the next order!" a smile appeared on the young man's face, "If you really show loyalty, the Dark Lord will also show his generosity and kindness!"

"So...... What should I call you?"

"Call me Patrick...... Christopher Patrick!" and then left the back step by step, and let out a calm voice: "By the way, please send my sincere Christmas greetings to my friend Draco on my behalf!

Patrick...... Patrick......"

Lucius called out, but as the cell door closed, he couldn't see the other party.

......

Astoria lay obediently in her mother's arms, smiling as hard as she could.

She told her mother about her days at school and her happy daily life with her sister...... She tried to leave her mother as happy as she could, and to reduce the influence of the Dementors on her......

But at this moment, a slightly unpleasant bird call came from the door.

It was the phoenix that had brought her and Jon here, and she seemed to be urging something.

Astoria certainly understood what she meant, and the big bird was urging her to leave.

A little reluctantly glanced at her mother, and she opened her mouth.

Mrs. Greengrass smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, Astoria...... I'm very, very happy to know that you're doing so well...... Let's go, this is not the place for you!"

Astoria wiped tears from her eyes, but the phoenix had already flown in front of her, looking extremely agitated.

"We don't have to wait for Jon to ......," Astoria said only half of the words—

Fawkes gripped her by the collar roughly.

Then, a man and a bird disappeared into Azkaban's cell.

......

Mr. Aurora Devin Robaz was now in the tent of the former caretaker of Azkaban Castle, and for some reason he was feeling a little uneasy.

Suddenly there was a shrill cry from the speculum on the table......

This is the second time that the speculum has spoken out today, which means that there is another intruder!

Mr. Robaz hurriedly picked up his wand—

But the tent was gently pushed open!

Mr. Robaz, who had just tensed up, was relieved when he saw the intruder.

"Oh...... Merlin's beard...... Headmaster Dumbledore?"

"Nice to meet you, Gardwin!" Albus Dumbledore said with a smile, "You don't look the same as you did at school!"

"You remember what I was like at school...... What an honor, Professor Dumbledore!" Gardwin-Robaz said with an excited look on his face.
