Spotted By Grindelwald And Went To Hogwarts Chapter 299: Grindelwald’s counterattack
"Big news?" Sean walked over and took the newspaper from the twins.
"Merlin Weekly Newsletter", a well-known weekly newspaper in the wizarding world, it is said that the editor-in-chief is very well connected, and news that is one step ahead of others is often published.
Sean unfolded the newspaper, and above the most conspicuous page was a line of bold and black characters.
"Room to maneuver? Dark Lord or victim? Fact or conspiracy? "
The following is a photo of Grindelwald speaking in Nurmengard. In the photo, Grindelwald has gentle and powerful eyes. He smiles and looks at the students in Nurmengard.
Sean read on.
"If you want to talk about the most shocking news in the wizarding world in recent decades, it must be that the evil deeds of the former Nurmengard headmaster Grindelwald were exposed, and after resisting arrest, it triggered the terrible fire in Paris."
"We learned through two official channels, the International Federation of Wizards and the United Wizards Guard, that the venerable Gellert Grindelwald was once the Dark Lord who committed numerous crimes."
"All of a sudden, the wizarding world was shaken, and a reward of up to 500,000 Galleons was published in newspapers and periodicals all over the world, and the main places of wizarding activities were posted. Even in the Muggle world, a warrant for [Serial Murderer Grindelwald] was issued."
"Under such circumstances, almost everyone is convinced that Grindelwald has planned many unknown terrorist attacks, and the dignified founder and principal of Nurmengard became a wanted criminal overnight."
"However, most of the huge impact of this turmoil disappeared in just one summer vacation. Not only did the United Wizards Guard, which had lost its temporary leader, seldom speak out, the most important thing is that Grindelwald, known as the Dark Lord, did not cause any trouble during his absconding."
"Yes, you read that right. Considering the limitations of many wizards in collecting information, our "Merlin Weekly Express" spent half a month collecting detailed information from all over the world. Now, we can tell everyone. Grindelwald, one of the most powerful wizards in the world, has not launched any actions for such a long time, let alone retaliate against those 'witnesses' who have come forward. He seems to have become a ghost."
"Readers, I would like to ask, if Grindelwald is really like the one described in the remarks made by the Wizards United Guard, such a powerful wizard with a strong desire for revenge and disregard of rules and laws, would he do nothing?"
"Of course, nothing can be proved by mere speculation. Our "Merlin Weekly Express" has always implemented our news purpose-fast, truthful and objective."
"This newspaper received a photo yesterday, and this photo is the top priority of this report!"
"At the same time, we solemnly promise that the photo has been authenticated by a famous wizard, and there is no possibility of forgery. Our newspaper office is also willing to be responsible for the authenticity of this report."
It was only then that Xiao En noticed that someone cast a delicate little spell on this weekly magazine, and the word "truth" floated out of the paper.
Triggering the magic spell, the source of magic power is very small, and it should be the photo that represents the truth.
Sean touched those two words, and input a trace of magic power into them.
The photo of Grindelwald was distorted and blurred, and a brand new photo was replaced.
The photo shakes slightly, but the protagonist's face can still be seen clearly. It was a middle-aged woman with a rigid expression. She was wearing a Muggle long trench coat and a linen gauze on her head. She was half-hunched, and she was always paying attention to the surrounding situation carefully.
Sean's eyes widened, he couldn't be more familiar with this person!
However, the other party was burned to ashes right under his nose.
That was the witch who led a member of the guards to capture Grindelwald that night. That was the temporary head of the Wizards United Guard, Cyril Marshall!
This...
The words in the newspaper seem to be more eye-catching and dazzling.
"Yes, who is this? Cyril Marshall, the temporary head of the United Wizards Guard! In the overwhelming reports, this 'heroic' witch was unfortunately killed on the way to hunt down Grindelwald. As the leader of the guards, she fought bravely and finally died in the flames of Grindelwald, even! The International Federation of Wizards has decided to posthumously award Ms. Marshall the second class medal of the Knights of Merlin!"
"So, now, who can tell me who this lady who looks exactly like the late Ms. Marshall is? According to the public information of the guards, Cyril Marshall is alone, has no family, and she does not have a sister who looks exactly like herself!"
"In addition, readers and friends, please allow me to remind you. The place where this lady who looks exactly like Ms. Marshall appeared at the time was—Belgium! It is also the headquarters of the Wizards United Guard."
"We can completely suspect that Ms. Marshall is just suspended animation!"
"I think, at this time, some people will definitely ask questions-what is the purpose of Ms. Marshall's suspended death? I am worried that Grindelwald will retaliate. You must think so, right?"
"First of all, none of the **** members who hunted Grindelwald that night and survived suffered Grindelwald's revenge. Secondly, don't just pay attention to one face, look at the right rear of our witty Ms. Marshall—"
Sean searched for words, and only then did he realize that Marshall, who was in the center of the photo, had completely attracted his attention just now. Behind her, there was a middle-aged man with the same sneaky figure. The man had short, capable hair, and the long beard that Sean had originally imagined had been shaved off.
"I bet you all should have remembered that man's name. That's right, Rosa Onassis, who was 'sacrificed' with Ms. Marshall that night and was also posthumously awarded the Order of Merlin Third Class!"
Rosa Onassis... Sean narrowed his eyes. To be precise, this person should have an older pure-blood surname, Rosa Mopsos.
Derived from the blood of the ancient Greek prophets, it is also a part of the black hand behind the scenes in Xiao En's mind.
"Another wizard who should have passed away long ago! If Ms. Marshall is the temporary head of the guards, and she needs to conceal her own survival because of her identity, what about this Mr. Onassis? Are there any differences between the other members of the guards and him? Why did he hide himself?"
"We have reason to suspect that, apart from these two 'dead' who have already appeared, the other wizards who have also been buried are likely to be alive like their companions!"
"Here, my dear and wise readers, is the whole thing more subtle? Let me help you recall that it was reported in all the mainstream media that Grindelwald caused the deaths of more than a dozen members of the guard that night. At the same time, he also caused the skyrocketing fire in Paris. After that, the terrifying flame giant that appeared briefly after that was also considered Grindelwald's means."
"All of this is the news given by the 'live audience', that is, the members of the guard!"
"Professor Dumbledore, who assisted in the arrest of Grindelwald that night, did not express any opinion on the matter after solving the Paris fire! He did not tell everyone conclusively that Grindelwald did those evil things!"
Crazy Valley
"In addition, please allow us to provide an additional piece of information. That night, the flame giant was summoned in the suburbs of Paris, and this terrible magic also pointed to Grindelwald. However, don't forget that our French Ministry of Magic, who is good at raising our hands, still sent two Aurors to check the situation."
"The two died unfortunately, and no one knew about the situation at the scene. Of course, the two Aurors who were confirmed dead were naturally considered to have been poisoned by Grindelwald, or in other words, by the flame giant."
"However, according to our reliable information, the corpses of the two Aurors obviously showed a strange death state, and that situation did not originate from the killing curse, flames or huge force, but showed scorched black twisted lines on the surface of the body. That is to say, the two Aurors probably did not die at the hands of Grindelwald. After all, if such a terrible flame giant was summoned, Grindelwald, who had already been defeated by Dumbledore at that time, didn't need to use any weird black magic, right?"
"The voices of the guards have always been very high among the people, and their actions have been recognized by many people. We didn't want to speculate like this. Suspicious points follow suspicious points. As a newspaper that strives for the truth, we must be responsible for the authenticity of the news. We must doubt whether the previous reports are the truth? Or is that the so-called 'truth' that others want us and the public to see?"
"Here, "Merlin's Weekly Express" just puts forward a conjecture. Maybe Grindelwald didn't cause any killings that night, maybe he just wanted to prove his innocence..."
"However, someone deliberately 'died', the situation on the scene was deliberately concealed, and everything seemed to be declaring to the world that Grindelwald was so evil. After all, if you were not guilty, why did you resist arrest, why did you kill so many 'innocent' wizards... all these are worth our deep thinking."
"However, what is even more worrisome is—if, if all the speculations in this newspaper are true, then why, why such a great wizard who has made great contributions to the wizarding world was framed, what conspiracy is hidden behind all this..."
"Above, this report is brought to you by all the colleagues of "Merlin Weekly Newsletter."
Sean put down the newspaper slowly, and murmured: "Here we come..."
In other people's eyes, this report has loopholes, some vague and incomplete explanations, but that photo alone can prove many things.
At the same time, the person who wrote this report is very smart. He stringed together every doubtful point. Small loopholes are often covered up by bigger doubtful points. What's more, according to the logic of the other party, there seems to be nothing wrong with all of this...
But Sean, who was at the scene that night, knew the whole story. Whether it was Marshall or Mopsos, he himself watched the other party being burned to ashes by the flames.
The only person who can play tricks here is Grindelwald!
As soon as this "whitewashing article" comes out, it is not surprising that many people will change their positions in the discussion about Grindelwald!
As for Mopsos, no, it should be Rosa Onassis. He has been hiding his identity, and it is just like this. An identity that has no particularity supports all kinds of doubts about his fake death.
However, it is impossible for those ancient pure-blood families to come forward to explain-wow, that person is actually a member of our family, and he did this because he was worried about being retaliated.
First of all, without mentioning the doubts brought about by the involvement of the ancient families, you must know that the fact that those families were set on fire by Grindelwald was not written in the newspapers.
Obviously, they just don't want to appear in everyone's sight early.
Great doubts are exposed, and you can't explain it even if you want to explain it. The only remaining eyewitness Sean that night was Grindelwald and his gang...
Sean couldn't help but admire secretly, Grindelwald's method is really powerful...
I just don't know if he thought of this on the spur of the moment, or if he had already prepared for it.
Besides, Fred and George, who were full of excitement, patted Sean on the shoulder vigorously.
"Man, big news!"
"Your Dark Lord teacher is on the way to whitewash!"
The two sang together and seemed more excited than anyone else.
Sean waved his hand casually: "That has nothing to do with me, it's a game between them, and I can't get involved."
Beside Hermione, who also finished reading the report, crossed her arms and muttered, "If the guards can't explain these doubts clearly, as long as similar reports continue to be published and public opinion ferments, Mr. Grindelwald may even be cleared of his charges..."
Shawn shrugged: "I'm afraid the guards don't have that much effort. I guess they didn't expect this combo."
"Why do you say that?" Hermione asked puzzled.
Sean grumbled at another page of the newspaper: "Here, the guards are currently running for the first head. Tsk, the organization has only been established for a long time, and already has factions with different ideas."
Another page of the newspaper read: "Conservatives and Radicals Controversy, Who Will Get the First Chief of the Guard?"
However, this also gave Sean a message that the guard is not monolithic, and the core leadership has not been fully controlled by the black hands behind the scenes.
It's normal to think about it. The guard team is huge, but the establishment is still a bit hasty. It is obviously driven by external forces, but that external force has not fully penetrated into the core.
However, there is still a huge problem in Grindelwald's arrangement.
That is Professor Newt Scamander who just bid farewell to Sean~IndoMTL.com~ This respected old man once told the crimes that Grindelwald committed decades ago in full view.
Because Newt didn't change his words, the guards naturally stood on the high ground of law and morality, no matter what their original intentions were, as long as they were well-known, they would be justified.
If Grindelwald wants to clean up in official institutions, no matter how big his fist is, the word 'reason' cannot be avoided.
Sean looked up to the eighth floor, which was the principal's office.
So, in the end, it still depends on Dumbledore's choice, doesn't it?
Come on, old men, let me see what kind of drama you are putting on... Sean raised the corner of his mouth.
