Hogwarts in the shadows

In the next few days, the entire wizarding world seemed to have been dropped with a heavy bomb.

Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, President of the International Confederation of Wizards,

Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot (Supreme Wizarding Court),

Albus Dumbledore, Order of Merlin, First Class.

The White Wizard, hailed as the greatest of the century, has gone mad.

Dumbledore broke into the Woolworth Building in downtown New York City alone.

At that time, the twelve members of the Magical Congress of the United States were holding an important meeting on the top floor.

Discuss how to deal with peace talks with Muggle high-ranking officials.

Dumbledore, with the help of Fawkes's Apparition ability, appeared in the meeting room without warning.

Charity Wilkinson originally thought that he had an emergency matter that was why he came so suddenly.

Before she could get up to greet him, she was hit directly by Dumbledore's Avada Kedavra curse and died instantly.

The other eleven congressmen also reacted and began to fight back in horror.

But their magic seemed so weak in front of Dumbledore.

Dumbledore's strength is simply not something that these congressmen who have been in high positions for many years and neglected to practice magic can resist.

In Dumbledore's hands, the Elder Wand showed great power.

Every casual swing brings unstoppable destructive power.

The congressmen tried their best but were still unable to resist this crazy legendary wizard.

Gilbert Fontana is the headmaster of Ivermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

He struggled to hold on inside the protective shield, blocking the flames around him.

He looked at Dumbledore, his eyes full of confusion and pleading.

"Albus, please, for the sake of our past friendship, let me go."

He had tried it before, but the space around him was sealed off and he couldn't escape at all.

He didn't understand why Dumbledore would go mad and want to kill them.

Now he could only pray to Dumbledore to let him go for the sake of their past friendship.

Dumbledore's face was grim. "You are hindering the progress of the world."

He continued to wave his wand quickly, and the congressmen fell down one after another, their lives disappearing.

In the end, Dumbledore calmly left the bloody battlefield without taking away a cloud.

In this massacre, only Mungo Macduff survived, not because of his great strength.

Instead, at the critical moment of life and death, he activated the shadow flame on his forehead, wanting to fight Dumbledore to the death.

Dumbledore naturally saw the shadow flame as well.

He hurriedly turned the wand in his hand, transforming the Vulcan attack into a flame shield, wrapping Macduff in it.

Macduff was protected by fire.

Macduff struggled hard and finally broke free from the flames.

He clenched his wand tightly and looked around panickily.

But he found that Dumbledore had disappeared without a trace.

Then he looked at the corpses all over the ground.

His legs went limp and he fell onto the bloodstained floor.

Cold sweat slid down his forehead and fear overwhelmed him like a tide.

This was his first real glimpse into Dumbledore's power.

Killing them was as easy as squashing a bedbug.

After a moment, Macduff forced himself to calm down.

He couldn't believe that Dumbledore would have ignored the fatal blow.

Then there is only one possibility left, that his identity as a Shadow member saved his life.

He quickly reported the incident to Percy, seeking instructions on next steps.

When Hephis received the news, he also sighed.

He didn't expect that Dumbledore would actually choose to embark on such a path of no return.

Dumbledore wanted to become a demon to clear the last obstacle for him.

Hefes finally wrote a few words slowly on the "text message": Announce truthfully.

Dumbledore did not pause.

All high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic who advocated peace were subjected to his bloody purge.

The news was soon published in newspapers around the world.

The entire wizarding world was plunged into unprecedented shock.

Many people initially thought it was April Fools' Day.

How could the greatest white wizard of this century commit such a cruel crime?

Some believe that Dumbledore was under the Imperius Curse.

Some even speculated that this person was not Dumbledore at all but someone else in disguise.

But as time went on, more and more death lists and photos of the scene were made public.

Even those who believed in Dumbledore began to waver.

The public's condemnation of Dumbledore is growing louder and louder.

Although Dumbledore's current target is only the top leaders of the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

But people are worried.

There was no telling when this crazy wizard would swing his knife at them.

The International Confederation of Wizards held an emergency meeting.

Zhang Wei, the Deputy Secretary-General in charge of General Assembly affairs, was appointed to take over the position of President.

The original candidate for succession was Babajide Akinbade, the federation’s secretary general.

He had been murdered by Dumbledore three days ago.

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore was removed from the meeting.

The position of President of the International Confederation of Wizards and Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot.

And decided to take back his Order of Merlin, First Class, although no one dared to take on this task.

As for the position of headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the British Ministry of Magic went to the school and forcibly revoked it.

At the end of the meeting, a title was given to Dumbledore - the third Dark Lord.

Professor McGonagall clutched the Daily Prophet tightly in her hands.

Her knuckles were white from the effort.

Tears slid down her cheeks uncontrollably, dripping onto the newspaper and soaking the glaring headlines.

She kept recalling the scene of her meeting with Dumbledore ten days ago.

Dumbledore's eyes were unusually gentle. "The future of Hogwarts is in your hands, Minerva."

"Why, Albus?"

Professor McGonagall frowned and looked at him in confusion.

She didn't understand why Dumbledore suddenly made such a decision.

"I am going to do something that must be done, and when it is done, I will not be able to return to Hogwarts."

Dumbledore's voice was still gentle, but it could not hide the slight tremor in it.

"What happened? What are you going to do?" Professor McGonagall's voice was full of anxiety and worry.

Dumbledore raised his hand gently to stop her questioning. "Don't ask, Minerva."

His eyes wandered around the principal's office, and finally stopped at the small bedroom with an open corner.

That was the place where he had the most fond memories over the past few decades.

Dumbledore took a deep breath and said in a more serious tone:

"I, Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore,

From this moment on, he resigns as Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

The duties of Headmistress will be taken over by Minerva McGonagall."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a slight vibration in the principal's office.
