Chapter 183: The last phoenix

ended……
The screams of the house elves gradually diminished and then disappeared completely.
The traces of those "saints" also disappeared
Only a lonely castle was left--
There are also three children who can't believe what just happened before me...
"Unforgivable...unforgivable...unforgivable..." Hermione Granger murmured, her eyes flushed; her tears were almost gone, because she was crying dry!
"Let's go..." Neville whispered, "Get out of here... We shouldn't be here."
This brave boy's voice also became a little trembling at this time... Everything that just happened was almost beyond his ability to bear.
Matthew nodded slightly.
Then, Hermione also stood up.
Just when they were about to turn around and leave--
Matthew Wickfield's face changed suddenly.
"Wait a minute!" he said quickly.
He squatted down steadily, then hid in the bushes again... Then he began to take out a purse from his pocket, a Christmas present given to him by Neville on Christmas a few months ago.
"What's the matter?" Neville asked curiously.
Matthew did not speak, but quickly opened his wallet...
Just in his pocket, he kept feeling that his wallet was hot.
Sure enough... the hot thing was the "flor flower" he had hidden in his wallet!
Flor flowers are a very magical plant. Their fresh petals have a deep connection with the rhizome... Then the two have been separated for a while, and the rhizome will still point in the direction of the petals.
When such guidelines are made, the rhizomes will become hot.
But now this is very strange, because since I secretly obtained this Flor flower a few months ago, I haven't tried to use it...All the petals stay on it well.
So, what is it guiding now?
Matthew thought about it a bit, he could only think of one possibility--
That was before the Flor flower was picked off by him, there were petals that had fallen on the ground... so it was guiding the petals that fell unintentionally.
But this is also very strange... If this is really the reason, then I should be able to find out the day I got the Flor flower...
Non-existent Until now, the Flor flower suddenly began to appear strange.
what is the problem?
Who is using this Flor flower to guide himself deliberately?
Matthew suddenly fell into thinking.
...
Minerva McGonagall was taken away, together with her three students (the three Azkaban fugitives). They were temporarily sent to Azkaban, but before that, they need to undergo some trials!
The house elves have also been eliminated. Since they choose not to obey, they no longer have the value to exist in the wizarding world...
Of course, there are also those horsemen, they must be lucky that they haven't stayed at Hogwarts for too long, and then fled... Otherwise, they will be waiting for the same fate as the house elves.
The entire Hogwarts was calm again, and Mr. Pringle, the administrator of the castle, cleaned the entire hallway very carefully to prevent the flesh and blood of those house elves from becoming too obtrusive. The students were also sent out of the castle temporarily, because they needed to search for the remaining party of the Order of the Phoenix in the castle...
The last remaining party...
When President Gellert Grindelwald returned to his castle again, Professor Vita Rozier and Professor Remus Lupin were waiting for him here.
"Sorry, Lord Grindelwald..." Rozier said apologetically, "We didn't find anything... There are no strange faces in Hogwarts..."
"It's nothing," Grindelwald's voice was very calm. "If he could show his feet in a place like this, then he wouldn't be able to avoid me for so many years..."
"In addition, the three fugitives have been interrogated very harshly..." Rozier continued, "but they don't actually know the truth... They all know Minerva McGonagall, from Azkaban After breaking out of prison, I only contacted Minerva McGonagall..."
"Peter Perdiro, that Animagus is the wizard of mice... He has dressed up as a mouse and hides in the castle for the past year... His main purpose is to find the secret passage into the principal's office, and Minerva McGonagall makes frequent contacts..."
"...The way they are connected is through a cat. We all know that McGonagall’s Animagus is a tabby cat. She herself knows that we know this very well, so she rarely stays in Hogg. Watts appeared in her Animagus form... She connected with Peter through a cat. The cat seemed to have a certain civet pedigree, very clever, and knew the identity of McGonagall and Peter. , So I have been helping them to spread letters!"
"Interesting!" Grindelwald smiled, "Then what's the origin of that cat?"
"It should be a student's pet, we have already executed it; by the way, Lord Grindelwald, would you like to interrogate the owner of that cat?" Rozier continued to ask.
"No need..." Grindelwald shook his head indifferently, "I don't think they will show any flaws in this kind of place, but they are just an ordinary student... Lost their beloved pet, I am afraid it will be enough. Makes her feel uncomfortable..."
"And James Potter... he has been disguised as the Aurode Lux of the Ministry of Magic for the past year, and then with the help of Auror's identity, he will appear in various locations in Hogwarts under the name of investigation. ... the rebellions and riots of the house elves were planned and instigated by Potter alone... Potter is also an Animags, but his Animags form is a stag, but this The form is obviously not conducive to disguise, on the contrary it will be very conspicuous..."
"...Also, those other Aurors from the Ministry of Magic..." Rozier continued, her voice very cold:
"I don't think they will be clean, because I don't think that the Auror colleagues who get along day and night have been disguised with compound decoction and they can't find out...Of course, I have no evidence..."
"If there is no evidence, there is no existence," Grindelwald replied very easily, "Honestly, Vita...We have to endure the complaints and opposition from ordinary wizards behind the scenes... as long as they are not standing in the clear Face us against us, then they will be potential allies..."
"I see, Lord Grindelwald..." Vice President Professor Rozier nodded thoughtfully.
"Finally, there is Sirius Black... his Animagus is a black dog, the dog that Remus and his students saw a few months ago... a horse The human riots were planned by him alone, of course he didn’t seem to be able to control the situation in the end..."
"These three members of the Order of the Phoenix, they all communicated with McGonagall on a single line... No matter what means, there is no way to ask another person's name in their mouth... The only person who knows the true identity of the last Phoenix, I am afraid McGonagall..." Professor Rozier's voice was obviously very disappointed.
"Then I think we should be powerless..." Grindelwald shrugged, "It's impossible for her to tell us who the last person was... And, I'm afraid she has also deleted her own memory... "
"So, we can only return without success this time?" Rozier frowned and asked disappointedly.
"No, I don't think it's..." Grindelwald suddenly said again:
"Because I feel, I have guessed who he is!"
"Master Grindelwald..." Rozier said in shock.
"So, leave it to me..."
The figure of Principal Gellert Grindelwald quickly disappeared from their eyes.
As the principal, he can apparate on the Hogwarts campus.
...
Professor Horace Slughorn, lying leisurely on the recliner in his office.
Holding a large glass of delicious mead in one hand, and picking it up from a box of pineapple compote with the other hand, he did not forget to lick his fingers after putting it in his mouth.
It's so leisurely.
Until a cloud of light blue smoke suddenly appeared, Principal Gellert Grindelwald suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Good afternoon, Horace!" Principal Grindelwald greeted very elegantly.
"Good afternoon, principal..." Professor Horace Slughorn also looked unusually calm, "Need to taste pineapple compote? Or a glass of mead?"
"No, no, Horace..." Grindelwald shook his head, "Actually, what I am more interested in is your plans today. What is the real purpose?"
The potions teacher raised his eyebrows slightly.
But he quickly recovered his calm.
Once again, I poured a glass of mead leisurely, after drinking it all:
"I'm sorry, the principal...I think the answer to this question, I can't tell you..."
"Actually, Horace..." Grindelwald's voice suddenly appeared a little weird, which is very rare in normal times, "I can't figure out how, that phoenix is ​​actually you... in my memory , You have always been a very sleek, very smart person...a smart person like you, but not like a fool like me, for the so-called ideal, not even his own life..."
"Principal, I am honored to receive such a high evaluation from you..." Slughorn laughed and licked the icing on his fingers again.
"But to be honest, I'm not surprised... The vulnerabilities I have exposed in the past year are more than those in the previous fifty years combined..." Then, he sighed, "Hey, I want to enjoy more. Enjoying it for a few years...Let’s say, how did you discover me?"
"The girl named Elaine Shafik..." Greenward Chen Ken said.
"Is that so... Sure enough, the kid is still not very reliable!" Slughorn also exclaimed.
"Yeah, after all, she's just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. After seeing me, she was so frightened that she said everything..." Grindelwald explained.
"A very smart little girl, it's a pity that she will spend the rest of her life in Azkaban." Slughorn sarcastically.
"Yeah, very smart...smart enough to save her father in jail, she would actually think of practicing Azkaban's fugitives..." Greenward didn't seem to be weak.
Slughorn did not refute.
In fact, the flaws left by Elaine Shafik are really too big...
Minerva McGonagall came to Hogwarts through her... Elaine Shafik’s father was sentenced to Azkaban’s life imprisonment for abusive criminal behavior; McGonagall found I told her that she could take the criminals from Azkaban (the experience of taking Potter, Black and Peter before), so that the little the brink of collapse seemed to have grasped the last straw.
In this way, the two parties reached a cooperation agreement...
McGonagall turned into a cat and hid in her backpack, then mixed into Hogwarts with her.
When it comes to investigating within Hogwarts, McGonagall will become Elaine Shafik.
This is also the time when Matthew once saw the truth about two Elaine Shafik in the Hogwarts castle at UU reading www.uukānshu.com...
...
"But you haven't answered me yet, Horace?" Grindelwald asked again, "Why do you want to do this? It's not in your character!"
"My character?" Slughorn said coldly, "Indeed, I, Horace Slughorn, I am a snobby, sleek person... I don't care who is in charge of magic. The world, whether it's you or Dumbledore, doesn't matter even if you are a lunatic who knows nothing but black magic..."
"But, I care about Hogwarts!" Horace Slughorn's expression suddenly became serious.
This may be the first time he has shown such seriousness in front of outsiders.
"I love Hogwarts... I have coached in this castle for many, many years..." He said slowly, "I remember my colleagues and my proud students... In addition to daily enjoyment, They are the reason why I exist in this world, all I am..."
"But with your arrival, Grindelwald, everything is ruined!" Slughorn's voice suddenly became a little angry.
"Principal Armando Dippet... Albus Dumbledore... Minerva McGonagall... Yousef Shaker..." They died dead, disappeared from this world . My friends at Hogwarts, they all just ignored me...
"And my once proud students... Tom... Mikel... Lily... They just had to disappear from this world, maybe I won't touch them in my life..."
"You ruined everything I cherish, Grindelwald...that's why I oppose you!"
