Chapter 182: And the last one

The fierce battle has begun!
The entire Slytherin common room quickly became a mess...
Whether it's Remus Lupin or James Potter, they try their best to use everything in it as a cover.
From time to time, James turns into that huge stag, with its abundance of body, avoiding Lupin's spell... But I have to say that he has obviously begun to be at a disadvantage in this contest between wizards...
"It seems that you followed your master and learned a few more tricks!" He said bitterly.
"You won't be my opponent, James..." Lupin's voice is still full of sadness, "After all, in Azkaban, you have lost so many years of time... So, stop..."
"Faint!" It was just another extremely strong red light that greeted Lupin.
James roared: "When I knock you down, I will stop!"
But 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 actions should be faster, Lupin!" Vita Rozier said coldly.
At the same time she slowly put away her wand.
"Hug...sorry..." Lupin stammered.
"Did you ask any news?" Rozier continued to ask.
"No... I only know... what are they looking for..." Lupin answered honestly.
"Then take him away, maybe you can ask something in his mouth..." Rozier glanced at James who had fainted on the ground with a bit of disgust, "I miss Sivanos and Apo Leon should have captured the other two Azkaban’s fugitives... the bad experiences of the past year can finally come to an end..."
"I understand..." Remus Lupin nodded silently.
He bent down and carried his "friend".
...
The three fugitives were all caught in this way.
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, and now she is able to temporarily control the power of Hogwarts... She can feel what happened at Hogwarts, and naturally knows the three poor ones. The child (the fugitive of Azkaban), the situation facing...
But she was still fearless, she didn't escape, still staying here quietly.
The footsteps in the castle corridor gradually became clear.
The sound of cowhide riding boots stepping on the spiral staircase is getting closer...
McGonagall's breathing gradually became a little quicker, she knew exactly who the person was approaching, and she also knew how terrifying that person was... Now only courage can support her!
Gellert Grindelwald gently pushed open the door of the principal's office, looked at the witch in front of him, and said with a smile:
"Good morning, Minerva... But I must say that breaking into my office without permission is not in line with your British etiquette..."
His voice was clear and calm, not at all like facing a difficult opponent, but as if talking with a friend of many years.
"Your office? Grindelwald!" Professor McGonagall looked very angry, and she roared: "You're lying! Coward! You said this is your office?"
"It's not quite accurate to say that... but at least for the past fifty years, this place has always belonged to me in name... There is nothing wrong with it!" Grindelwald was still not angry, but patient. Explained.
McGonagall didn't speak any more, she knew that any words she said now were undoubtedly wasted.
She just looked at Grindelwald quietly while holding her magic wand tightly.
"Honestly, quite a wonderful performance!" Grindelwald continued, speaking in a tone that seemed to praise the younger generation:
"With the help of the horsemen, house elves, and fairies, the contradiction between us... launch their rebellion, as bait, to attract our attention... but your real goal is here, here to complete The plan that you did not complete 15 years ago..."
Minerva McGonagall's face did not fluctuate at all, she continued to hold the wand tightly.
"Of course, maybe this is just bait... You used yourself and the power of Hogwarts as bait to attract me here... And you, have a deeper purpose..." Grindelwald said again .
This time, there was a slight change in McGonagall's face.
However, these changes did not escape Grindelwald's sight.
"To be honest, your layout is perfect, and even I can only throw myself into the net; so I have to praise it!" Grindelwald began to applaud.
Moreover, his applause and smile did not make people feel the taste of sarcasm at all, but on the contrary they were very sincere.
...
"So, why are you so confident to appear here?" McGonagall shouted coldly:
"You should be very clear, Grindelwald... With the confusing spell you cast at Hogwarts is lifted, this castle has thoroughly seen your true face... Now, the power of the entire castle can be used by me, No matter how conceited you are, your strength is no more than this!"
"That's it," Grindelwald nodded.
"Even in normal times, I can't stay on the Hogwarts campus for too long, otherwise the power of this castle will eat me back...not to mention that the castle has completely shown hostility to me now, of course. When I set foot on campus, I felt a lot of pressure!"
"So I say this is a perfect plan..." Grindelwald continued: "Even if Hogwarts can suppress my power, I have to come..."
"... But what is more commendable is your persistence... Fifty years have passed, you are still so loyal to Albus Dumbledore, and you are still trying to overthrow us... Honestly, such persistence is true. Rare and precious! When I hold you in Newmontgard, I will definitely let you and Albus meet, Minerva..."
"Enough!" McGonagall seemed a little impatient. She pointed her wand at Grindelwald and shouted with a serious face:
"You...not...worthy...speak his name!"
Minerva McGonagall seemed to be shaking with anger all over.
Almost with her, the entire Hogwarts castle began to tremble again.
Countless statues, armors, and all kinds of furnishings in the castle... They rushed to Gellert Grindelwald like crazy.
These things completely surround Grindelwald, and their encirclement is shrinking a little...as if trying to squeeze Grindelwald into meatloaf.
Finally, only a deafening explosion was heard.
Powder was flying around the principal's office.
Those armors, stone statues and the like were all crushed into powder almost instantly... At the location where Grindelwald stood before, a hill of powder was almost formed!
...
"Success?"
Although she didn't believe it, Minerva McGonagall glanced at the "hill" with some expectation.
This is the most powerful blow she can use with the power of Hogwarts... Even if this blow did not kill Grindelwald, it would at least hurt him a little... Ge secretly thought.
Time seemed to stand still, the "hill" was motionless.
Just when McGonagall couldn't help but want to go over and take a look--
The dust and powder all floated to 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 could be said to be unscathed, and even no dust was left on the suit.
Minerva McGonagall couldn't believe her eyes.
"This...how could it..." she murmured.
"It is indeed a very qualitative blow, despite the power of Hogwarts..." Grindelwald continued to comment.
"It's impossible!" McGonagall still couldn't believe it: "Hogwarts should have suppressed part of your power... so... how could..."
"I can only say that the fact that Hogwarts suppressed my power is indeed true..." Grindelwald said calmly:
"But this does not mean that it can always suppress me..."
"...The reason why I cannot stay on the Hogwarts campus for too long is not entirely because of the suppression of this castle... The main reason is that I am willing to tell my old friend A little respect..."
"...So, if I don't want to, then this castle will not have any effect on me! Even though it has a thousand years of history, it is only a dead thing after all, it can't be a real wizard's opponent!"
Gellert Grindelwald drew out his old wand.
He gently waved--
The chattering castle stopped in an instant...
Not only did it stop, there was also a weird wind in the air, as if the castle was crying.
Minerva McGonagall paled suddenly... To be honest, before coming to Hogwarts, she had already imagined Gellert Grindelwald as strong as possible!
But the real Grindelwald is still stronger than he thought.
Suppressing her inner fear, she raised her wand to Grindelwald for the last time—
Only this time, she no longer had the opportunity to cast spells.
Grindelwald just took one look, and she flew out...with the wand in her hand, she also took off.
She fainted and lost consciousness.
The most powerful member of the Order of the Phoenix was easily defeated in this way!
Grindelwald wiped his wand lightly, and finally glanced at McGonagall, who had passed out on the floor.
He turned and left.
Muttering to himself at the same time:
"There is one last one!"
...
When Minerva McGonagall and Gellert Grindelwald fought fiercely in the principal's office.
About two hundred yards from the castle, behind a bush, three second-year students are hiding here quietly.
They are Matthew Wickfield, Hermione Granger and Neville Longbottom.
The three of them naturally don’t know exactly what happened in the castle... But just from the appearance of the castle, they can guess a little bit of truth...
"What happened?" Hermione asked in a low voice, while looking at Matthew for help.
Matthew just shook his head blankly, and said softly, "Maybe it's...Principal Greenward... is back!"
To be honest, Matthew did not see Grindelwald...but the castle had suddenly started to tremble again, and then the tremor stopped abruptly for an instant; there was also the sudden and powerful sense of oppression; this made him There was a hunch in the dark!
If nothing else, Gellert Grindelwald is probably back!
Then, the Order of the Phoenix seems to be defeated.
Matthew couldn't imagine that the Order of the Phoenix had a way to deal with Grindelwald.
"Wait... Look, what is that?" Neville Longbottom’s focus is different from that of his two friends; he pointed to the doorway, where there were a group of dark guys. Asked a little curiously.
"Head down!" Hermione's face changed suddenly, and she said hurriedly, "All head down...hide...don't look up..."
Although Matthew and Neville are a little puzzled, UU reading www. uukanshu. However, com bowed his head quickly and indented into the bushes...
Following the gap between the bushes, Matthew can vaguely see the true colors of the dark guys
There are about a dozen of them. They are all dressed in neat black suits and have veils on their faces. This makes them invisible to their faces... But judging from the wands on their waists, they are all wizards, and It should be a very powerful wizard!
The three children withdrew into the bushes, too scared to escape.
It wasn't until the dozens of black-clothed wizards all entered the castle that they were a little relieved.
"They are...'saints'..." Hermione explained in a low voice:
"This name hasn't been mentioned for many years... Professor Flitwick once helped me write a loan note and showed me a book describing this in the banned book zone... They are dressed like this. Grindelwald’s most loyal believer..."
"... More than fifty years ago, they were common in Europe, and they are said to be notorious..."
Hermione's voice suddenly stopped.
She looked in the direction of the castle in disbelief.
At that moment, she almost rushed out of the bushes... But Matthew reacted quickly. He stopped Hermione, and at the same time, he slammed her mouth tightly to prevent her from making any sound...
Hermione choked and whimpered.
Because on the castle side, the screams were endless.
It's the scream of house elves!
No wonder the "saints" who haven't appeared in many years have once again appeared at Hogwarts.
They are carrying out a massacre!
For the rebellious house elves, a massacre without forgiveness and mercy!
