Hogwarts Outsider Chapter 185: This is our world
"Horace...he...actually..." Professor Vita Rozier opened his mouth in surprise.
She couldn't believe what just happened!
"Yes," Gellert Grindelwald looked tired; he shook his head and explained softly:
"Horace Slughorn is the last phoenix hidden within us by the Order of the Phoenix, and now he is dead..."
The expression on Professor Rozier's face seemed a little subtle.
In any case, she and the former Potions teacher and head of Slytherin House can be regarded as "colleagues" who have worked together for fifty years.
"The last phoenix is dead... the last key members of the Order of the Phoenix have also been arrested... and the rebellion of the centaur, house elves, and goblins has also been suppressed... ..." Grindelwald calmly said again:
"Everything that could stand in our way has disappeared... Now, it's time to start realizing our ultimate goal..."
He breathed a sigh of relief:
"For our greatest good!"
"Master Grindelwald!" Professor Rozier seemed to have tears in his eyes: "For so many years... I have been longing for this day to come..."
"Yes, today!"
Gellert Grindelwald waved his wand lightly, and a huge, black, curtain-like creature began to fall from the sky.
It looks like a black cloak, maybe only half an inch thick, but when fully rolled out it is almost the size of the entire Hogwarts castle...
Grindelwald stood up, and then the huge creature began to soar into the air.
At the same time, countless light blue rays of light shot from it into the sky... Those blue lights first gathered together, and then began to disperse after flying to a certain height... Different blue lights moved towards different directions. The direction seems to be spreading all over Europe...
…
"What's that?" Neville Longbottom's eyes were quickly covered by the black shadow in the sky.
In the sky, the sun was almost covered by clouds... An unbelievably huge black curtain covered their heads.
The cold air from the sky almost made the three children shiver.
"It's Voldebat..." Hermione whispered, "It's unimaginable that it can grow to such a huge size... I heard rumors that Gellert Grindelwald has been taking care of him in private. A giant Voldebat, could it be it..."
"It's pretty much the scariest creature I've ever seen...except maybe the Dementor," Neville commented in a low voice.
"Like Dementors, Voldebats also exude fear... Only a very difficult Patronus Charm can be their opponent..." Hermione also explained while trembling:
"Let's get out of here quickly...I can't take it anymore..."
Neville quickly agreed.
"Matthew! Matthew!" Neville Longbottom shook Matthew's arm vigorously to divert his attention from the Flor.
The three trotted towards the Forbidden Forest.
Fortunately, the Voldebat in the sky didn't last too long in the Hogwarts class... After wandering around for a few times, it flew towards the south.
Several people ran to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, panting heavily while breathing the fresh air.
"Students of all grades!" At this moment, Principal Vita Rozier's voice sounded from the sky:
"The castle of Hogwarts is safe, the intruders and rebels have been wiped out... Please gather at the gate of the castle!"
Neville and Hermione met eyes.
"Let's go back, Matthew," Neville suggested, "It looks like we haven't seen anything, it's all over..."
"No," Matthew Wakefield shook his head firmly, "you two go first... I have to find something!"
As a matter of fact, ever since he saw the abnormality of the Flor flower, Matthew's state has been a little bit wrong.
Neville wanted to say something else... but Hermione shook her head at him.
The two separated from Matthew and ran towards the castle.
…
Five minutes later, following Flora's guidance, Matthew Wakefield found his destination——
Not far from the greenhouse... Matthew found a boulder.
The soil under the boulder looks a little soft, as if someone dug here not long ago...
Matthew frowned slightly, and looked at the Flor flower in his hand; indeed, the rhizome of the Flor flower pointed to exactly this position.
Because there was no one around, he quickly and quietly pushed away the dirt.
Without digging too deep, he soon found a small wooden box.
It happened to be a few flower petals scattered on the small box... the petals of Flora!
Matthew opened the small box quietly——
There seems to be only one letter in the box!
At this moment, Professor Vita Rozier's voice sounded from the sky again.
The vice-principal once again urged the students scattered around the castle and campus, please gather in front of the castle as soon as possible!
Matthew hurriedly stuffed the letter into his pocket, and then ran towards the castle.
…
We will not list the specific situation at Hogwarts for the time being.
On the other side, an hour later, Gellert Grindelwald arrived in London with his Voldebat.
He stands tall on the Tower of London, and he is not the only one here...
Hundreds of wizards of different genders, races, and skin colors gathered here.
These wizards come from all over Europe, and they are well-known figures in the magic world of all European countries, and many of them hold high positions...
But now, they all stood in front of Gellert Grindelwald very humbly, surrounded by the headmaster of Hogwarts, and their eyes were full of expectation!
"Lord Grindelwald!" An old man who lost all his teeth stood at the front of the crowd, he looked extremely excited, "I've been looking forward to this day so much for so many years..."
"You won't wait too long, Vance!" Grindelwald said with a smile.
"Almost everyone has arrived!" He scanned the crowd and said calmly.
Hundreds of wizards present here were Gellert Grindelwald's most loyal, staunch 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 crushed the opposition forces of the Ministry of Magic in Europe.
Until the duel in 1945, Lord Grindelwald defeated Albus Dumbledore and declared a complete victory!
Now, almost fifty years have passed...
Almost fifty years have passed since the last time they got together.
After the "victory" fifty years ago, Lord Grindelwald told them that they are still a long way from the real victory...
Under the dispatch of Master Grindelwald, they were scattered all over Europe——
France, Italy, Spain...
They've infiltrated the wizarding world of various European countries...not that difficult after their Ministry of Magic was shattered in that wizarding war.
Fifty years have passed, and these former "saints" are now all able to hold high positions... Some have become ministers of the Ministry of Magic, or other important official positions in the magic circles of European countries... Even It is the worst situation and has developed many young believers...
They have waited for fifty years, and finally it is today!
The day finally came when Gellert Grindelwald reconvened them.
…
"My brothers, my sisters, my friends!"
"I am grateful that you have answered my call again and stood with me again!"
"Almost fifty years have passed since our last victory. I told you at the time that it was not a complete victory..."
"We did not allow the magic world in Europe to truly accept our ideas, nor did we completely wipe out those wizards who resisted."
"But now, times have changed!"
"I am very happy that all of you are radiant, and I hope you will not forget the courage to fight!"
"We haven't forgotten!" A black witch from France shouted loudly, which immediately aroused applause from the surroundings.
Grindelwald smiled and nodded at her, then continued:
"With your help, witches and wizards throughout Europe, old and young, have already known or accepted our ideas..."
"...the wizard's soul is sublime; magic blossoms, only in few souls, only granted, those higher things... We are supposed to create our own world, we are supposed to represent the whole The most advanced power in the world!"
"At the same time, with your help, the power of resistance throughout Europe has been completely wiped out... The voices of opposition are becoming less and less, and we have the real initiative!"
Grindelwald's speech paused for a while, and the entire top of the Tower of London was silent...except for the roar of Muggle cars below.
"So now, I'm going to take back what I said fifty years ago... this time, we've won a complete victory...a perfect victory in the wizarding world!"
As soon as the voice fell, cheers suddenly sounded around him.
That old face, every one of the once steadfast believers, is full of tears at this moment.
"Long live Lord Grindelwald!"
"Long live the wizard!"
"For the greater good!"
…
The huge cheers made the Muggles who were not far away from them...can't help but look sideways, very curious about what happened there.
Gellert Grindelwald raised a hand again.
The top of the entire Tower of London became quiet again.
"Like you, I am also very excited, very very excited..." Grindelwald's face was filled with a smile:
"A hundred years of persistence...a hundred years of struggle...now, it has finally come true!"
He took a deep breath, and his voice suddenly became impassioned:
"Now, please obey my order... Concentrate all the strength you can concentrate!"
"It's time, we should split the gap between the wizarding world and the Muggle world... It's time for those backward and stupid Muggles to feel the power of being truly advanced!"
"Start from the top of the Muggles... Manipulate them, mislead them, and eliminate those Muggles who oppose us..."
"Let me see what you have accomplished in the past fifty years...Let me see how much you know about the Muggle world...Let me see the magic of magic Power, how to manipulate a few Muggle leaders to let thousands of Muggles be at their mercy!"
"Wizards are the real masters and masters of this world!"
"At this moment, we will no longer hide in the dark, and we don't need to hide in the dark anymore..."
"We can appear in any corner of this world openly... We will not let those Muggles bully us and invade our territory again!"
"The future of this world should be created by wizards!"
Grindelwald waved his hands fiercely towards the distance.
"Apparition, go, start from here, and spread the news throughout Europe!"
"The war between wizards and Muggles has begun!"
"No, it's not war...it's...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, but followed Gellert Grindelwald's order very precisely.
They begin to apparate, they begin to return to their homeland, and they begin to unravel the layout they have spent fifty years in the past!
"This is our greatest interest!"
Gellert Grindelwald shouted, his voice also became a little hoarse.
A few minutes later, he was alone, lying on top of the Tower of London.
The "saints" have all disappeared...
They departed for the greatest good.
Gellert Grindelwald smiled.
For this day...he has been waiting almost a hundred years!
Finally ushered in the perfect ending.
He struggled to stand up, and at this moment, his body appeared for the first time, the old look that an old man over a hundred years old should have.
Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace in the distance~IndoMTL.com~He can vaguely feel the ripples from the magic...
A new war, or a new conquest, has begun!
But Grindelwald doesn't care about this now, because he has one more thing to do——
With a puff of light blue smoke, he disappeared... on the Tower of London...
Until the next time it appears, it is in Austria——
The topmost floor of the Nurmengard Tower, the most heavily guarded prison in Europe.
Gellert Grindelwald strode in, and then entered the cell where the world's most dangerous dark wizard was held without any scruples.
The elderly Albus Dumbledore looked up, his expression extremely serious.
Grindelwald said to him very proudly:
"I won!"
