Chapter 185: This Is Our World
"Horace...... He...... ......," Professor Vita Rozier said, her mouth growing in surprise.
She couldn't believe what had just happened!
"Yes," said Gellert Grindelwald, who looked a little tired on his face, shook his head, and explained softly:
"Horace Slughorn was the last phoenix that the Order of the Phoenix hid within us, and now he's dead......"
The expression on Professor Rozier's face looked slightly subtle.
Regardless, she and the former Potions teacher, the head of Slytherin House, were "colleagues" who had worked together for fifty years.
"The last phoenix is dead...... The last core members of the Order of the Phoenix were also arrested...... And the rebellion of the centaurs, house-elves, and elves has also been suppressed......" Grindelwald spoke again calmly:
"Everything that stands in our way is gone...... And now, it's time to start achieving our ultimate goal......"
He breathed a sigh of relief:
"To achieve our greatest good!"
"Master Grindelwald!" Professor Rozier looked already in tears, "for all these years...... I've been longing for this day for a long time......"
"Yes, just today!"
Gellert Grindelwald waved his wand lightly, and a huge, black, veil-like creature began to descend from the sky.
It looked like a black cloak, perhaps only half an inch thick, but it was almost the size of the entire Hogwarts castle when it was spread out......
Grindelwald stood up, and the giant creature began to soar into the air.
At the same time, countless rays of pale blue light shot from its body into the sky...... The blue light first gathers together, flies to a certain height, and then begins to disperse...... Different blue lights are going in different directions, as if they are spreading all over Europe......
......
"What's that?" Neville Longbottom's gaze quickly caught up in the dark shadows in the sky.
The sky was almost obscured by clouds...... An unbelievably large black curtain covered their heads.
The chill that sowed from the sky almost made the three children shiver.
"It's Voldemort Bat," Hermione whispered...... "it's hard to imagine how big it could be...... I've heard rumors that Gellert Grindelwald has been keeping a giant volcant bat in private, is that it......"
"It's pretty much the scariest creature I've ever seen...... Except perhaps for the Dementors. Neville whispered.
"Like the Dementors, Voldemort Bat exudes fear...... Only a Patronus Charm of extreme difficulty would be their opponent......" Hermione explained, trembling as she spoke:
"Let's get out of here...... I can't take it anymore......"
Neville also hurriedly agreed.
"Matthew, Matthew!" Neville Longbottom shook Matthew's arm vigorously, making him take his attention away from the Flor flower.
The three men trotted in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
Fortunately, Voldemort's bat in the sky didn't last long at Hogwarts...... After a few laps, it flew south.
Several people ran to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, gasping for air while breathing in fresh air.
"Students of all grades!" At this moment, the voice of Principal Vita Rozier rang out from the sky:
"The castle of Hogwarts is safe, and both invaders and rebels have been eliminated...... Please come to the gate of the castle!"
Neville and Hermione looked at each other.
"Let's go back, Matthew," Neville suggested, "Looks like we didn't see anything, it's all over......"
"No," Matthew Wakefield shook his head a little firmly, "you two go first...... I've got to find something!"
In fact, since seeing the strange appearance of the Flor flower earlier, Matthew's state has been a little wrong.
What else did Neville want to say...... Hermione shook her head at him.
The two men separated from Matthew and ran in the direction of the castle.
......
Five minutes later, following the guidance of Flor flowers, Matthew Wakefield found his destination-
It's just a short distance from the greenhouse...... Matthew finds a boulder.
The dirt under the boulders looked a little soft, as if someone had dug up the place not long ago......
Matthew frowned slightly, and looked at the Flor flower in his hand, and indeed the rhizome of the Flor flower pointed to this location.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, he hurriedly and quietly picked up the dirt.
Without digging too deep, he soon found a small wooden box.
Scattered on the small box are exactly a few petals...... Petals of the Flor flower!
Matthew quietly opened the small box, and there was only one letter inside!
At this moment, Professor Vita Rozier's voice rang out from the sky again.
The Vice Chancellor once again urged the students scattered around the castle and campus to gather in front of the castle as soon as possible!
Matthew hurriedly slipped the letter into his pocket and ran in the direction of the castle.
......
We won't tell you what happened at Hogwarts.
On the other side, an hour later, Gellert Grindelwald had arrived in London with his Voldemort bat.
He stands tall in the Tower of London, and he's not alone......
Hundreds of wizards of different genders, races, and colors gathered here.
These wizards came from all over Europe, and they were all well-known figures in the wizarding world of all European countries, and many of them were in high positions...... But now, they all stood humbly in front of Gellert Grindelwald, and their eyes were full of anticipation!
"Master Grindelwald!" an old man with all his teeth out, standing at the front of the crowd, he looked extremely excited, "I have been so longing for this day for so many years......
"You won't have to wait long, Vance!" Grindelwald said with a smile.
"We're almost all there!" he said calmly, scanning the crowd.
The hundreds of wizards here were Gellert Grindelwald's most loyal, loyal, and powerful followers during the First Wizarding War.
"Saints!"
That's what they call themselves.
Under the leadership of Lord Grindelwald, they won the Wizarding War, and the opposition forces of the Ministry of Magic in Europe were shattered.
It wasn't until that duel in 1945 that Lord Grindelwald defeated Albus Dumbledore and declared a complete victory!
Now, almost fifty years have passed......
It's been almost fifty years since they last got together.
After the "victory" fifty years ago, Master Grindelwald told them that they were still a long way from a real victory......
Sent by Lord Grindelwald, they scattered all over Europe—
France, Italy, Spain......
They infiltrated the wizarding world of the nations of Europe...... After their Ministry of Magic was shattered in that wizarding war, it wasn't that difficult.
Fifty years have passed, and all of these former "saints" are now in high positions...... Some became ministers of magic, or other important positions in the wizarding community in various European countries...... Even the worst of the situations have developed many young believers......
They have been waiting for fifty years, and they have finally waited to get to this day!
Finally, the day came when Gellert Grindelwald reconvened them.
......
"My brothers, my sisters, my friends!"
"I am grateful that you have once again answered my call and stood with me once again!"
"It's been almost 50 years since our last victory. I told you at the time that it was not a complete victory......"
"We didn't get the wizarding community across Europe to really embrace our ideas, and we didn't completely wipe out the wizards who resisted. ”
"But now, times have changed!"
"I'm glad you all look radiant, and I hope you don't forget the courage to fight!"
"We haven't forgotten!" shouted a black witch from France, causing a round of applause from the surroundings.
Grindelwald smiled at her and nodded, then continued:
"With your help, witches and wizards all over Europe, young and old, have come to know or accepted our ideas......"
“...... The soul of a wizard is sublime, and the bloom of magic will be granted only in a very few souls, only those things that are higher...... We deserve to create our own world, and we deserve to represent the most advanced power in the whole world!"
"At the same time, with your help, the resistance of all Europe has been completely wiped out...... There are fewer and fewer voices of opposition, and we have the real initiative!"
There was a slight pause in Grindelwald's speech, and there was silence at the top of the entire Tower of London...... Aside from being able to hear the cries of Muggle cars below.
"So now, I'm going to take back what I said fifty years ago...... This time, we got a complete victory...... A perfect victory in the wizarding world!"
As soon as the words fell, a cheer suddenly sounded around him.
That old face, a once loyal believer, is in tears at this moment.
"Long live Lord Grindelwald!"
"Long live the wizard!"
"For the greater good!"
......
There was a loud cheer for the Muggles not far from them...... They all looked sideways, very curious about what was going on there.
Gellert Grindelwald held up a hand again.
The entire top of the Tower of London was once again quiet.
"Like you, I'm excited, very, very excited......" Grindelwald's face was full of smiles:
"A hundred years of perseverance...... One Hundred Years of Struggle...... Now, it's finally happening!"
He took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly became impassioned:
"Now, please obey my commands...... Concentrate all your strength that you can!"
"It's time for us to break the gap between the wizarding world and the Muggle world...... It's time for those backward, stupid Muggles to feel the power of the real advanced!"
"Start with the Muggles at the top...... Manipulate them, mislead them, and eliminate the Muggles who oppose us......"
"Let me see what you've accomplished over the past fifty years...... Let me see how much you know about the Muggle world...... Let me see how the magical power of magic can be manipulated by a few Muggle leaders to leave thousands of Muggles at their mercy!"
"The wizard is the real master and the real master of this world!"
"At this moment, we will no longer be hiding in the shadows, and we don't need to hide in the shadows anymore......"
"We can be anywhere in the world...... We won't let those Muggles insult us and encroach on our territory anymore!"
"The future of this world should be created by wizards!"
Grindelwald looked into the distance and waved his hand fiercely.
"Phantom Shifter, go, from here and spread the news throughout Europe!"
"The war between wizards and Muggles has begun!"
"No, it's not war...... But...... Conquest!"
"Let the whole of Europe be under our control...... Tremble!"
"Because...... This is our world!"
......
A black whirlwind rose from the ground.
The "saints" did not say anything more, but complied with Gellert Grindelwald's orders with great precision.
They're starting to apparate, they're starting to return to their homeland, they're starting to unravel the layout they've spent fifty years fifteen years on!
"This is our greatest interest!"
Gellert Grindelwald shouted, his voice also a little hoarse.
A few minutes later, he was alone, lying on top of the Tower of London.
The "saints" are gone......
They left to achieve the greatest good.
A smile appeared on the corner of Gellert Grindelwald's mouth.
For this day...... He waited almost a hundred years!
Finally ushered in the perfect ending.
He struggled to his feet, and at this time, his body appeared for the first time, the old state of an old man in his hundred years.
In the distance, at Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, he could faintly feel the ripples of magic......
But Grindelwald doesn't care about that right now, because he still has one more thing to do-
With a pale blue puff of smoke, he vanished...... Disappeared from the Tower of London......
Until the next place of appearance, it is in Austria -
The top floor of the Tower of Nürmungard, the most heavily guarded prison in Europe.
Gellert Grindelwald strode in, and without hesitation, entered the cell where the world's most dangerous dark wizard was held.
The dying Albus Dumbledore looked up, his expression extremely serious.
Grindelwald said to him proudly:
"I won!"
