Hogwarts: Dirge of Magic

over French territory.

Maybe it's because of the flames of war below that caused the airflow to rise, maybe it's because the heavens couldn't bear the loss of fresh life like this.

It would be an exaggeration to say that it is raining everywhere, but it is normal for every place to be covered by thick white clouds.

A round of full moon across the sky.

The bright sea of ​​clouds fluctuates up and down under the traction of the moonlight, appearing calm and quiet.

But at this moment, two uninvited guests broke the sparkling scene.

Boo-boo--

It was as if two small marshmallows had been spit out from the big marshmallow, and there were two vaguely strange sounds.

This is exactly the result of Grindelwald and Xifa passing through the clouds one after the other.

Above the clouds, there is already a icy cold wind in the sky.

What's more, Xifa and Grindelwald have maximized the performance of the broomstick at this time.

Behind the two of them, there was actually a long white wake.

If the two are only chasing speed, it would be too boring...

Under the pressure of the cold wind, the skin on Grindelwald's face was not only pale but also constantly wavy, looking pitiful and funny.

It's not that Grindelwald doesn't apply magic to himself to protect his naked body.

In order to resist Xifa's harassment and use his magic power as much as possible on the road, he just wrapped his eyes with a thin layer of Iron Armor Curse.

"Quick Transformation"

Sifa was about to catch up with him again.

Aware of this, Grindelwald stretched out his hand expressionlessly and pointed at the white cloud below with his wand.

The gaseous water vapor quickly transformed into long swords under the action of magic.

Both of them were flying at high speed, and Grindelwald didn't need to make any effort to shoot the long sword at Sifa.

Along the way, Xifa didn't know that this was the first time Grindelwald hindered his pace.

He swayed left and right in the air on his flying broom with ease, looking for gaps in the sword rain, but couldn't dodge it enough, so he cast the anti-spell of transfiguration or powerful attack magic to shatter the group of long swords.

Why did the two of them come to the sky? It started with Xifa's wretched tactics.

Grindelwald wants to fight against Merlin's suppression of him, and his mind is also quickly returning to Nurmengard. In addition, Xifa insists on the mentality of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy retreating and pursuing.

At first, Grindelwald was flying on the surface, but sometimes Sifa would circle around Grindelwald or to the side, and cast a powerful ice spell on him.

In other words, Xifa will always use the terrain to deal with himself.

After being harassed several times, Grindelwald was very annoyed, but he was helpless for a while in a hurry.

Simply choose to face off at high altitude. Although the conditions are more difficult, it will save you worry and trouble.

At least, Xifa can only harass himself behind him, he will never go around to the front in his sight to force himself to stop.

Xifa's harassment made Grindelwald spend several hours riding a broomstick to hurry, otherwise he would turn around and disapparate, not to mention going home directly, and it would only take a few minutes to come a few more times.

When Grindelwald arrived in Nurmengard, the eastern sky began to light up slightly.

Grindelwald came to the sky above his castle, and his pair of strange-colored pupils shrank slightly.

All traces of magic around the castle are printed in his eyes.

Those colorful traces are spliced ​​together neatly.

It seems that the protective magic that I arranged is intact, and no outsiders have come.

This made Grindelwald's tight heartstrings relax a little.

He let out a breath, and waved his wand to tidy up his messy appearance.

Then he turned around and faced Sifa with a half-smile expression.

Is Grindelwald bluffing or is he really confident?

High in the sky, Sifa, who was chasing Grindelwald to Nurmengard, suddenly stayed where he was.

This situation made Xifa understand why the empty city strategy often succeeds in various situations.

You can come and attack me with your hands free, and if I'm bluffing, congratulations on your victory.

If I have nothing to worry about... then your advantage may become a disadvantage later on.

Should I choose risky ones or prudent ones?If the choice is entirely in your hands...

At this time, Xifa chose the latter.

Because, it was with Merlin's help that he qualified himself to compete with Grindelwald on the same stage.

Even if he chooses to take a risk, whether the power will take effect depends on Merlin's face.

Balancing one or two, Sifer also took care of his messy appearance, then crossed his hands on his chest, looking down at Grindelwald's actions.

is a cautious guy...

Grindelwald waited for a while, seeing that Sifa was unmoved and had no intention of coming down from the sky at all, so he sighed slightly in his heart.

Afterwards, he ignored Sifa floating in the air.

Turning around, walking briskly towards the door leading to the interior of the castle.

The door leading to the castle is a heavy iron door, and the iron door is firmly locked by a steel chain on the wrist.

The steel chain wound around and around, and finally formed a knot in the gate.

Grindelwald raised his hand with ease, and pressed the tip of the Elder Wand against the knot.

With a movement in his heart, his own magical fluctuations and magical breath were released through the tip of the Elder Wand.

After identifying the magic circle on the gate, it was confirmed that his master had returned.

With a smooth sliding sound of chains, the iron door was slowly opened.

As the door opened, the starlight, moonlight and morning glow illuminated the shadow behind the door.

That familiar yet unfamiliar figure appeared in front of him.

"Albus!"

Grindelwald, with a leisurely expression, suddenly exclaimed.

The person in front of him caused a violent shock and impact deep in his heart.

In front of the door, the distance between Grindelwald's pupils is constantly oscillating between contraction and expansion, and the color of the iris is also switching back and forth between heterochromatic and brown-black.The fingertips of his lightly gripping wand trembled slightly, and a struggling expression appeared on his face.

Albus Dumbledore also looked at Grindelwald's constant struggle with kind and gentle eyes, hoping to use his own eyes to bring Grindelwald the courage and strength to overcome the pain.

Gellert... can you break free yourself?

Dumbledore was calm on the surface, but judging from his right hand tightly clenched into a fist behind his back, his heart was not as light as it appeared on the surface.

With Dumbledore's ardent expectation and enthusiastic encouragement, Grindelwald's pupils successfully recovered into a different color.

The scene seemed to press the time stop button.

Dumbledore opened his mouth slightly, staring at Grindelwald in a daze.

The night is accompanied by the morning light, the ancient castle is accompanied by the breeze, under the starlight, the two look at each other silently, what a beautiful picture.

It's just a pity that the two people in the painting are two and a half old men...

Suddenly, Grindelwald's evil smile broke the non-still picture.

"Dumbledore, did you plan all this?"

Upon hearing this title, the expression in Dumbledore's eyes began to dim.

"Cut off the magic power supply of the magic circle in the forbidden magic field. Let the resistance army retreat from the sea, so as to preserve their strength?"

Seeing Dumbledore standing behind the door, Grindelwald knew that the magic circle below had failed.

That is, Dumbledore, who signed a blood oath with himself, and the two can be regarded as one person to a certain extent, which allowed Dumbledore to easily enter the castle.

However, even if the magic circle under the castle is destroyed, the remaining magic-forbidden domain on the sea will not disappear in a short while.

During this period of time, it was enough for his own men to destroy the main force of the coalition forces.

"Albus... Dumbledore." Grindelwald turned his back to Dumbledore, and walked towards the center of the high platform step by step.

Coming to the center, turning around, Grindelwald faced Dumbledore again.

"Your goal has been achieved, this time I failed, you go and see how many traitors and No-Majs you can save!"

Dumbledore was silent for a while, and he slowly took steps, step by step to the center of the rooftop, and naturally, the distance between him and Grindelwald came to a step away.

"Sifa came here, which was beyond my expectation. This was not in my plan."

Dumbledore seemed to have strengthened his belief. His sky blue eyes were slightly flooded, and he looked at Grindelwald's different-colored pupils, and said in a firm tone.

"Oh? Well then, Dumbledore, I promise you, Sifer can go back to see you alive, but I will destroy the Horcrux on him!"

Grindelwald knew that Dumbledore would not lie to himself, he would rather keep silent to himself than tell a lie to himself.

However, he seemed to have misunderstood what Dumbledore meant.

"Gellert, today, I am for the greater good. Even if those unfortunate fighters are sacrificed, I will make you sober for a moment!"

There was an unbearable look in Dumbledore's eyes, he closed his eyes slightly, and said softly.

"Dumbledore, I'm sober. On the contrary, you still don't believe that I'm right? Back then you openly betrayed me for the greater good!"

Hearing that Dumbledore opened and closed his mouth for greater interests, Grindelwald couldn't hold back immediately. He had a ferocious expression and asked in a low voice.

Dumbledore sighed softly and opened his eyes. He didn't answer, but raised his right hand silently, showing his wrist.

That's... a blood oath, it didn't respond...

Is this a fake blood oath or is Dumbledore really like-minded?

Grindelwald has a complicated expression...

"It seems that you believe that old man's words."

Dumbledore replied with a slight nod.

"In that case, why do you think you can restore the real Grindelwald?"

The voice fell, and the invisible magic force field joined together.

This is... a showdown!

Dumbledore's eyes were slightly absent, but Grindelwald didn't seize this moment of weakness to attack Dumbledore.

Because, with the help of Merlin, Xifa in the sky has slowly landed on the side wall of the platform on one side.
