Chapter 479
On December 1, the German Ministry of Magic announced that they would cancel the wanted order for Mr. Gellert Grindelwald and eliminate his criminal record in their territory.
At the same time, Grindelwald will be hired as a senior consultant to the Ministry of Magic to contribute to the development of the German magic world.
Soon, neighboring countries such as the Netherlands and Belgium immediately issued serious protests, claiming that Germany had seriously violated the "International Security Law" and hoped that they would quickly turn back and take care of themselves.
Among them, the words of the waves were the most intense. Their spokesman cursed Grindelwald as a devil and the German wizards as a group of scum and dregs, and all of them should be imprisoned.
That afternoon.
The Waves Ministry of Magic announced a merger with the German Ministry of Magic to jointly seek better development.
For a time, the entire European magic world was in panic and turmoil, and even Muggles noticed it. It was rare to see flocks of owls flying in the sky during the day.
Experts came out one after another and said that this was caused by the greenhouse effect.
The next day, German newspapers published an interview with Grindelwald, responding directly to Fudge's blame-shifting behavior.
"I never thought that my saints were a group of thugs or evil dark wizards. They were all seekers who fought for their ideals. As for the Death Eaters in Britain?"
"I'm sorry, I only saw barbarism and madness, as well as the humble weakness."
"They once followed a gangster-like master. Even if they kneeled on the ground and begged to join, I would not want them. Such people would tarnish the purity of the saints."
"If Mr. Fudge continues to slander and hurt my reputation, I will not be bothered to go to Britain to talk to you in person."
The British Daily Prophet also reprinted this interview. Less than ten minutes after reading the newspaper, the British Ministry of Magic issued an apology statement, saying that it had misunderstood Mr. Grindelwald and that there must be someone else who helped the Death Eaters escape.
Many British wizards felt that Fudge was really embarrassing Britain after seeing this statement, but Fudge didn't care at all and even wanted to scold him.
You guys are so brave, it seems that the Dark Lord is not the one who is threatened by name.
It's easy to talk without any pain.
Look at the Ministers of Magic of those countries, they are all gone now, probably they are out of business, but they are still stubborn, how about asking him to keep stubborn today?
The Ministry of Magic is named Grindelwald!
Fudge has long regretted putting the blame on Grindelwald, and when he saw the opportunity, he quickly admitted his mistake and saved his life.
Malfoy Manor.
After reading Grindelwald's interview, Voldemort was also very angry.
This is comparing his Death Eaters to gangsters, and he, the Dark Lord, has become the gangster leader.
The disdain in his words can be clearly felt through the newspaper and the translation.
"Grindelwald!"
The shrill roar resounded throughout the manor, and the Death Eaters who had not left yet felt it.Voldemort was trembling with anger, only Bella was still shouting angrily that she was going to kill Grindelwald.
What qualifications does a man over a hundred years old, a loser defeated by Dumbledore, have to mock her master?
What Bella didn't know was that Voldemort's anger was partly due to Grindelwald's devaluation of him, but more of it was due to jealousy.
Why did he spend decades trying to rule the British wizarding world without success, and even lost half his life.
But Grindelwald only came out for a few days and occupied two countries.
Is the gap between them so big?
After such a comparison, Voldemort began to doubt his life, and even wavered in his obsession with killing Potter and Lawrence.
Or...he would learn from Tom to go out first, find a small country to accumulate strength, and then attack back?
I don't know if the moon in foreign countries is round, but there are definitely no perverts like Lawrence and Dumbledore.
But soon, Voldemort rejected this idea.
Potter, Lawrence, Dumbledore, these three people have become his obsession. If he doesn't kill a few of them, he will not feel at ease even if he leaves.
Especially now that several Horcruxes have been destroyed, he is not sure whether Ravenclaw's crown has been discovered, which makes Voldemort even more frightened.
Now he doesn't even have the courage to ask Malfoy to check, for fear that Lawrence will find clues and confiscate it.
"Lawrence must be killed first." Voldemort gritted his teeth and had a plan in mind.
In the following days, Grindelwald's big moves still did not stop.
The Ministry of Magic in Finland, Norway, and the Czech Republic ushered in a major purge, and Grindelwald used upright means.
Those people are not clean at all. If you don't check, there will be nothing wrong. If you check, you will find one.
And the pure-blood wizards who annexed the resources of his saint's family also paid a price.
His actions moved the old saints beyond words, and the new saints also felt Grindelwald's strength and worshipped him more and more.
But it was not without disadvantages.
At least, the fear of Grindelwald by the magic ministers on the European continent has reached its peak.
They put aside their previous conflicts of interest and quickly united together, not seeking to gain benefits from it, but only to resolve this threat as quickly as possible.
Recently, Wayne has received 800 letters from the magic ministries of other countries a day.
But this time he has learned his lesson, not as brainless as in the meeting, saying only some good words, and also promised a lot of rewards.
They don't expect Wayne to completely defeat Grindelwald, they just hope that he can make Grindelwald afraid.
Until then, people discovered the true meaning of a top wizard, that is, an existence that can influence the world situation.
As for Dumbledore, the wanted order for him has been cancelled in the UK, but no one can find him.
There are evenA rumor spread out that Dumbledore was actually dead, otherwise Grindelwald would not have dared to escape from the tower and make a comeback.
Wayne was also full of doubts. What was Dumbledore doing in the bear's place? Why had there been no news for so long?
In the small world of the suitcase, Wayne was talking to Qiu about the acquisition of the Tornado team.
Due to the long-term bottom performance, the acquisition of the Tornado team was very smooth. The total price of the entire team was less than 10,000 Galleons, which was the price of two Firebolts.
But the problem now is that the original boss is more nostalgic. He hopes that Wayne will not fire the old employees after acquiring the team, otherwise he will not sell it.
To be honest, he originally planned to leave none of the people in the team.
After all, it can be imagined what kind of people the players and management are to have achieved the bottom three results for 18 consecutive years.
After a lot of bargaining, the current boss finally made concessions and offered 50% of the layoffs. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Even so, Wayne didn't want to agree, he didn't want to support a bunch of useless people.
But Ludo Bagman learned that Wayne was discussing the acquisition, and took the initiative to come out and analyze it for him.
The poor performance of the team is partly due to the players and coaches, but also due to insufficient funds and backward equipment.
In fact, several players are still promising.
Wayne doubted Bagman's IQ and political level, but he still believed in his Quidditch vision, so he reluctantly agreed.
"My favorite Tornado is Montes Jane, the chaser." Qiu looked at the list and said to Wayne: "She is actually very capable and loves the team very much. I heard that many teams want to poach her with high salaries, but Jane didn't agree."
Wayne nodded, "Then keep her, who else?"
"Listen to Mr. Bagman's opinion for the others." Qiu shook his head and didn't continue.
Wayne picked and chose, and finally three players stayed, and only one coaching staff member stayed, which was considered to be the completion of the task.
When returning to the hall for dinner, Professor McGonagall quietly told Wayne a piece of news that was not sure whether it was good or bad - Hagrid was back.
Hagrid's return was a good thing, but if Newt had to leave because of this... Professor McGonagall was really unhappy.
Not to mention that Newt had been welcomed by all students, and his teaching level was much higher than Hagrid's.
Just talking about the current delicate situation, Newt's significance to Hogwarts is not just a professor, he can teach students a lot, such as - how to fight a dark lord. .
The precious experience in the past is definitely the most needed course for students now.
"I'll go see him later." Wayne thought for a while and said to Professor McGonagall. []
After dinner, Wayne walked out of the castle.
On the edge of the forbidden forest, an oil lamp was lit in a small wooden house that was already deserted, and smoke was coming out of the chimney.
WayneArriving in front of the wooden house, he knocked gently on the door.
A familiar voice came from inside the house.
"Who is it?"
"I, Hagrid."
The door was quickly opened, and Hagrid showed a big head. Seeing that it was Wayne, he smiled at first, and then his expression became strange;
"Should I call you Wayne, or Principal Lawrence?"
"It's time to get off work now, so please feel free. Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"
"Well, no, I just came back, and the house is still a bit messy." Hagrid quickly opened the door, and when Wayne walked in, he quickly closed the door.
There was a blazing fire in the fireplace, and the dust in the room had not been cleaned up. There was also a musty smell and the smell of food, which made Wayne hold his breath unconsciously.
With a wave of the magic wand, the whirlwind rolled up all the garbage and dust and flew out of the window. The air was also fresh, and Wayne finally dared to breathe.
Then he set his eyes on Hagrid's face.
At this time, the half-blood giant's hair was messy and clotted with blood. His left eye was swollen into a slit, blue and purple, and his face and hands were covered with scars, some of which were still bleeding.
Finally, Wayne looked at a huge piece of bloody steak on the table.
"Dragon meat, although it has strong toxins, it also has analgesic effects. Hagrid, it seems that you have had a wonderful life in the past few months."
"It's just so-so." Hagrid said a little at a loss, "I think your experience is more legendary. I just left for a while, and you have become the principal."
He has been isolated from the world in the deep mountains and old forests for the past few months, and has not received any information from the outside world at all.
After coming out, he went straight to Hogwarts. When he came back, he met Professor McGonagall and told him that Wayne had become the principal. At that time, Hagrid thought April Fool's Day had come early.
It was not until Professor McGonagall told him about the evil things Umbridge had done and how Dumbledore drove him away that he accepted the reality.
Wayne took out a few bottles of healing potion and handed them to Hagrid. Hagrid thanked him and began to apply the potion.
"Was it done by a giant?" Wayne suddenly asked.
Hagrid paused in applying the potion, and Wayne continued, "Don't try to hide it. You won't lie at all. Dumbledore also told me about the mission dog you went out this time."
"Did he really tell you?" Hagrid asked in surprise.
"Well, he said you went with Madame Maxime to contact the giants hiding in the mountains."
Giants and trolls are not the same race. If you have to count, giants should be classified into the same category as half-human creatures such as vampires and centaurs.
During their heyday, there were hundreds of giant tribes around the world, but due to the hunting of wizards, most of the giants in the world have gathered together and hid in the mountains, with only a few hundred left.
Dumbledore sent Hagrid to try to get him to win over the giant tribe and prevent them from falling to Voldemort.
After all, giants can fightThe existence of the dragon and the impact of dozens of giants are definitely comparable to the armed forces of a country's Ministry of Magic.
Seeing that Wayne even knew that he went with Madame Maxime, Hagrid finally believed that these were all told to Wayne by Dumbledore.
So he stopped hiding it and told about his experiences in the past few months. .
