Chapter 182 There is the last one(1/2)
The fierce battle has begun!
The entire Slytherin's common room quickly turned into a mess...
Whether it is Remus Lupin or James Porter, they should try their best to use all the items in it as bunkers.
James turned into the huge stag from time to time, and with its agile body, he avoided Lupin's spell... But it has to be said that he had obviously begun to be at a disadvantage in this battle between wizards...
"It seems that you have learned a few more tricks with your master!" He said with some hatred.
"You won't be my opponent, James..." Lupin's voice was still full of sadness, "After all, in Azkaban, you have been wasting so many years... So, stop..."
"Damn it!" But another extremely strong red light was greeted by Lupin.
James roared, "When I knock you down, I will stop!"
However, the angry expression on his face came to an abrupt end in an instant—
James Potter fell down.
Lupin was stunned, and then behind James, he saw a witch.
"Principal Rozier..." he murmured.
"I think your movements should be faster, Lupin!" Vita Rozier said coldly.
At the same time, she slowly put away her wand.
"Hug...sorry..." Lupin stammered.
"Have you asked what news?" Rozier continued.
"No...I just know...what they are looking for..." Lupin replied honestly.
"Then take him away, maybe you can ask something in his mouth..." Rozier glanced at James who had fainted on the ground with some disgust. "I think Sivanos and Apollion should have captured the other two Azkaban fugitives... These bad experiences in the past year can finally come to an end..."
"I understand..." Remus Lupin nodded silently.
He bent down and carried his "friend".
...
All three fugitives were caught.
There are no twists and turns, and it can even be said to be easy.
Minerva McGonagall is still staying in the principal's office. Now she can temporarily control the power of Hogwarts... She can feel everything that happened in Hogwarts, and naturally know the situation faced by the three poor children (Azkaban's fugitives)...
But she was still fearless, she did not escape, and was still here quietly.
The sound of footsteps in the castle corridor gradually became clear.
The sound of cowhide horse boots stepping on the spiral stairs is getting closer and closer...
McGonagall's breathing gradually became a little rapid. She knew very well who the approaching person was, and she also knew how terrible that person was... The only thing that could support her now was courage!
Gellert Grindelwald gently pushed open the door of the principal's office and looked at the witch in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Good morning, Minerva...but I must say, breaking into my office without permission is not in line with the etiquette of you British..."
His voice was clear and calm, not like facing a difficult opponent, but as if he was talking with a friend of many years.
"Your office? Grindelwald!" Professor McGonagall looked very angry, and she shouted: "You are lying! Coward! You said this is your office?"
"It's indeed a bit inaccurate to say this... but at least for the past fifty years, this place has always belonged to me in name... There is no problem!" Grindelwald was still not angry at all, but explained patiently.
McGonagall didn't say anything else. She knew that any words she said now would undoubtedly be in vain.
She just looked at Grindelwald quietly while holding on to her wand.
"To be honest, a pretty wonderful performance!" Grindelwald continued, saying in a tone that seemed to be praising the younger generation:
"With the help of horsemen, domestic elves and goblins, the conflicts between us... launch their rebellion as bait to attract our attention... But your real goal is to complete the plan you did not complete fifteen years ago..."
Minerva McGonagall's face was fluctuating at all, and she continued to hold the wand tightly.
"Of course, maybe this is just a bait... You used your own and Hogwarts' power as bait to attract me here... and you have a deeper purpose..." Grindelwald said again.
This time, there was a slight change on McGonagall's face.
However, these changes did not escape Grindelwald's sight.
"To be honest, your layout is perfect, and even I can only fall into the trap; so I have to praise!" Grindelwald began to applaud.
Moreover, his applause and smile could not make people feel the slightest sarcasm, but on the contrary, it was very sincere.
...
"So, why are you so confident that you will appear here?" McGonagall shouted coldly:
"You should be very clear, Grindelwald... As the confusion spell you released on Hogwarts was lifted, this castle has completely seen through your true face... Now, the power of the entire castle can be used by me. No matter how arrogant you are, your power will be so even if you grow and fall!"
"That's right," Grindelwald nodded:
"Even in normal times, I can't stay on the Hogwarts campus for too long, otherwise the power of this castle will retaliate against me... What's more, the castle has completely shown hostility to me now. Of course, when I first set foot on campus, I felt a lot of pressure!"
"So I said it was a very perfect plan..." Grindelwald continued: "Even if Hogwarts can suppress my strength, I have to come..."
"...But what is more commendable is your persistence... Fifty years have passed, and you are still so loyal to Albus Dumbledore, and are still trying to overthrow us... To be honest, such persistence is really rare and precious! When I hold you to Neumangard, I will definitely let you meet Albus, Minerva..."
"Enough!" McGonagall seemed a little impatient. She pointed her wand at Grindelwald and shouted with a serious look on her face:
"You... don't deserve... to say his name!"
Minerva McGonagall seemed to be trembling with anger.
Almost with her, the entire Hogwarts castle began to tremble again.
Countless statues, armor, and various decorations in the castle... They rushed towards Gellert Grindelwald like crazy.
These things completely surrounded Grindelwald, and their encirclement was shrinking little by little... as if they wanted to squeeze Grindelwald into meat pie.
Finally, only a deafening explosion was heard.
Powder fluttered everywhere in the principal's office.
The armor, stone statues and the like were all crushed into powder in an instant... At the location where Grindelwald had previously stood, a hill of powder was almost formed!
...
"Success?"
Although he didn't believe it very much, Minerva McGonagall still looked at the "hill" with some expectations.
This was the most powerful attack she could use with the help of Hogwarts' power... Even if this attack failed to take Grindelwald's life, it would at least cause him to be injured... McGonagall thought secretly.
Time seemed to be still, and the "hill" didn't move.
Just when McGonagall couldn't help but want to go over and take a look-
The dust and powder all floated into the sky in an instant, and then disappeared little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gellert Greenward appeared again, his body was unscathed, and even in the suit, there was no dust left.
Minerva McGonagall couldn't believe his eyes.
"How is this... possible..." she murmured.
"It is indeed a very mass attack, although it uses the power of Hogwarts..." Grindelwald continued to comment.
"This is impossible!" McGonagall still couldn't believe it: "Hogwarts should have suppressed part of your power...so...how could it be..."
"I can only say that the fact that Hogwarts suppressed my power is indeed true..." Grindelwald said calmly:
"But that doesn't mean it can suppress me forever..."
"…The reason why I can't stay on Hogwarts campus for too long is not entirely because of the suppression of this castle... The more important reason is that I am willing to show a little respect to my old friends..."
"...So, if I don't want to, then this castle will not have any impact on me! Even though it has a thousand years of history, it is just a dead thing after all, and it cannot be the opponent of a real wizard!"
Gellert Grindelwald pulled out his old wand.
He waved it lightly—
The castle that had been trembling stopped in an instant...
Not only did I stop, but I also recalled a strange sound of wind in the air, as if the castle was crying.
Minerva McGrath's face was pale... To be honest, before coming to Hogwarts, she had already made Gellert Grindelwald as powerful as she could imagine!
But the real Grindelwald is still stronger than he thought.
She suppressed her inner fear and raised her wand to Grindelwald for the last time-
But this time, she no longer had the chance to use a spell.
Grindelwald only used one look and flew out... and she also escaped with the wand in her hand.
She fainted and lost consciousness.
The most powerful member of the Order of the Phoenix was easily defeated!
Grindelwald gently wiped his wand and finally glanced at McGonagall who fainted on the floor.
He turned and left.
To be continued...
