All Heavens: Transfer Students at Hogwarts

Chapter 164 The Return of Grindelwald

Lynde declined Lockhart's offer. Lockhart was very straightforward and sent him a large package containing seven hundred galleons, which was considered hush money. The accompanying package also expressed his regrets and said that he would send Linde the same amount of money every month and that he was welcome to accept employment at any time.

Lockhart has come to the most glorious moment of his life, and this kind of time cannot allow any stains to appear.Linde was hiding at Hogwarts, and Lockhart was not confident in casting the Oblivion Curse on a student under the protection of Dumbledore, so he could only expect Linde to keep his promise.

For the next twelve months, Lockhart's daily activities consisted of giving interviews, attending events in the Muggle world, giving peace speeches, and touring with the Ministry of Magic's Aurors like a circus.

The Ministry of Human Resources and the British Government obviously support Lockhart's overtures. They continue to arrange programs for Lockhart. The TV station will launch three documentaries, two TV series, and one movie every week, all telling the story of wizards. They remade "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" and arranged interview shows for every wizard in the Ministry of Magic.

Ordinary people are learning more and more about the magical world through various channels, and their desire, jealousy, and fear of magic are also increasing day by day.

Muggles are constantly pursuing the footprints of magic. They learned that there are eleven magic schools in the world, where magic is taught, and that there are hidden wizarding communities everywhere, so they launched explorations one after another.

This activity started in August, at first it was just a small-scale non-governmental activity, and in October, it became an organized collective action.At the end of October, several multinational companies were established to provide logistical support for travelers looking for magic schools, and these companies also have official forces behind them.

Muggles broke into wizards' hermitages and into the habitats of magical creatures. Some had curious purposes, while others committed criminal acts, such as stealing, kidnapping, poaching, and poaching. In the black market, with Magic-related artifacts and creatures once soared to sky-high prices, and semi-public transactions gave ordinary people the opportunity to participate, which aroused public frenzy.

With the spread of panic, especially the attack on the Ilvermorny School in North America, all wizards in the area have a sense of urgency for ordinary people.They cast spells on Muggles who trespassed in their private domain, some of them punished them with minor punishments, and some dark wizards simply used the Muggles delivered to their door as consumables.

In newspapers and news, there are horrifying news every day about wizards hurting people, public demonstrations, and even sightings of giants, werewolves, and vampire attacks.

At such a special moment, governments of various countries have different policies towards wizards, and people in different places have very different perceptions of wizards.

The Ouagadu School of Magic in Africa stands on Moon Mountain, which has been regarded as a holy mountain since ancient times.The wizards are regarded by the locals as shamans who communicate with the gods. The chaotic local government failed to win over these extraordinary abilities, but they did not dare to offend them.

The wizarding community in South America has forged deep friendships with the locals. Students from Castrobusche will rescue civilians in distress and help them fight against natural and man-made disasters in the 1990s, mainly various man-made disasters. The local residents have lived in poverty all year round. With the magical help of wizards, famine and medical problems have been greatly alleviated.

The treatment of wizards in East Asia is particularly good. The rising qigong craze has really made these masters with special powers popular, and wizards have become guests of dignitaries. Others serve as monks and priests in local temples and shrines. They are also rich, respected, and have a high social status.

However, the situation is very bad in Europe and North America, where the local policies towards wizards are mainly about exclusion and isolation, just like they do towards ethnic minorities and immigrants.

This era does not yet have many of the "political correctness" of the 21st century. The hatred among the people is very fanatical and violent conflicts occur one after another. By December, Germany was assessed by the media as the most likely area for a wizarding war. People in the wizarding world called on local wizards to move out as much as possible, and the wizarding community to protect themselves more closely.

There is a voice in the European magic world that is getting louder and louder. The wizards who have experienced the 1940s are all looking forward to the return of a great man. They re-raise that man's slogan, hoping that he will come forward to rectify the chaos in Europe and clean up the world. Establish a new order where wizards rule Muggles.

This much-anticipated man is none other than Gellert Grindelwald, the first generation Dark Lord who was defeated by Dumbledore and imprisoned in Nurmengard.

Nowadays, there are wizards who observe the stars at night, and it is easier to know the number of days. Professor Trelawney exclaims at the dinner party that the Devil has returned. Dumbledore traveled to Austria on a snowy night to meet his old friend Grindelwald.

Nurmengard, a dark fortress, was built when Grindelwald was in power. Since Dumbledore defeated him, the Dark Lord was imprisoned here, and it changed from the Dark Lord's palace to the one with Az. Caban's eponymous prison.

Dumbledore came here alone and looked at the slogan on the entrance door: For the greater good. I was filled with emotions all of a sudden. When he was young, he was also agitated by the ideology represented by this slogan. At that time, the Muggle world was also guided by similar ideological trends, which caused huge disasters.

Grindelwald and the Muggle leader seemed to be the same individuals in a parallel world.

Dumbledore gave up this terrible idea, and his country also fought against evil. However, less than half a century later, the world once again brewed a new flame of turmoil. This time, can he turn the tide like he did back then? And will the people still choose justice?

He walked quickly through the fortress and came to the tower where the prisoners were imprisoned. The place was empty, except for the automatic magic mechanism, there was no one in sight.Dumbledore climbed up the stairs and reached the top floor. What made him feel relieved was that Grindelwald was still here.

"Hello." Grindelwald seemed to have known for a long time that Dumbledore would visit. He washed his face with the dew that condensed on the stone bricks, shaved his beard with sharp stone flakes, and used moss juice as hairspray. , Pull up thin and dry hair.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Dumbledore is on this side of the iron fence, and his old friend Grindelwald is on the other side. Their eyes are separated by steel and the thick curtain of time.

Grindelwald's face was covered in the narrow moonlight coming in from the high window, like a white skeleton.In the posture of dying, there is vitality, and there is great joy in the eyes.

Dumbledore's blue eyes were brimming with tears.

"Don't cry, Albus." Grindelwald said hoarsely, "Don't let this hard-won encounter become embarrassing."

"Sorry, I just remembered the past...Gellert, I want to ask you a favor."

"You want me to reject those wizards who come to greet the wizards who are released from prison." Grindelwald's eyes were extremely insightful. Dumbledore couldn't tell how he guessed his purpose. It was his innate prophecy ability. Valid again? Or did he come to this conclusion based on rational logical reasoning?

"Gellert, have you given up those ambitions?"

"From beginning to end, I have never been a weak person, Albus. Muggles should submit to wizards. We are a higher race than them. You can choose to stand against me again, but I will not change my mind. .”

His words echoed in the tower, and then, the sound of steady and dense footsteps rippled from the darkness.

Dumbledore stood in the darkness in front of the prison. A large number of wizards and witches appeared behind him. They surrounded Dumbledore and faced Grindelwald bathed in the moonlight. Their eyes were filled with the excitement of pilgrimage and the desire to see the savior.

A wizard spoke up, and Dumbledore recognized him as Durmstrang's headmaster, Igor Karkaroff.

"My dear sir, we have come to ask you to lead the magic world. For the greater good, please lead us to establish a new order."

Karkaroff ignored Dumbledore and passed a brand new wand through the gap in the bars into the cell.

Gellert did not take the wand immediately, but looked at Dumbledore.

The eyes of this old friend and old lover were full of uneasiness and expectation.

Grindelwald smiled at him and said, "The people have chosen me once again."

Then he took the wand.

I forgot to mention that I changed some of the previous chapters. Depending on the situation, I may change it again to make the plot smoother without affecting the content. If you have time, you can refresh your bookshelf and go back to read the revised chapters. Love you guys.
