Chapter 693(1/2)

Finally, Felix understood that another backup plan appeared by Dumbledore.

Three Deathly Hallows, except for Harry's Invisible Cloak, Dumbledore held two more in the last few years of his life. Felix originally thought,

With the demise of the resurrection stone, the Deathly Hallows could no longer gather, and the old wands lost their meaning as Dumbledore's invincibility.

"Dumbledore asked you to hand it over to me?" Felix asked softly, wanting to explore Dumbledore's true thoughts.

"He let me judge for myself." Snape's eyes struggled a little, "He said he would rather see the belonging of the old wand become a permanent mystery, but he was worried that there would be major changes in the future wizarding world... It should be the case now.

Felix looked at Snape's face carefully. "I don't think it's time yet," he said. Snape's expression froze.

"The situation is not that bad - the window of dialogue has been opened, and we can remain optimistic to a limited extent. Compared with sporadic riots in some places abroad, this is still stable. By the way, World Company will open two new branches in the future."

Snape's expression was stunned.

"Dumbledore couldn't predict what happened behind him, so he needed a pair of eyes - I think he must trust you very much." Felix said with emotion, "You can observe for a few more years, you must have more than one candidate in your heart, right?"

Snape stared at him for a while and said slowly, "You are the one in the front, and then...Potter," he paused, "I also considered Minerva and Amelia Bones."

Felix assisted him with interest. "Dumbledore knew that I was not short of sand wand. Do you remember that ebony wand? I found that I could incorporate the Book of Magic into the wand, and I recently got another good one; as for Harry - well, he still has great potential, and with the old wand, you can get one step closer, but you don't like each other, you will definitely not be happy to give it to him; Minerva... Alas, she is not young after all; Amelia may have been very strong, but now as the Minister of Magic, she has no time or the heart to study magic, and she may be the most unlucky one of the previous Ministers of Magic."

"So don't make decisions easily. The next generation, or the next generation, should have good candidates, and the key is that they can perfectly match your wishes."

He concluded at last.

Snape took a deep breath, his thin cheeks showed anger.

"What do you think this is? Now is the biggest crisis in the wizarding world ever, Grindelwald fanned the flames all over the place."

"You know what Grindelwald did?"

"I read the news, Felix Happ!" Snape panted, "There are reports that he appeared in a chaotic place. He proposed the Ten Laws of Wizards. One of them is retaliation. Wizards are not weak creatures that can be bullied; and the other calls on wizards to unite and not allow any act of stealing wizard power; and for example, magic is magic... these theories are very marketable."

"Then what do you think of these rules?" Felix asked calmly.

Snape's eyebrows were twisted.

"It's too radical."

"But it looks like it was said from Grindelwald, right? It can be changed anyway, and the relevant laws are still blank at the moment-" Felix said lightly, and Snape looked over in a terrifying manner.

"Oh, I mean, Grindelwald can only shout slogans, and we are really qualified to talk to each other." Felix said: "By the way, I actually have one more important thing."

"What's the matter?" Snape's expression was grim.

"If the negotiation goes well, there will inevitably be trade between the two sides. Potions are an important part of it, but you should know that some potions are only effective for wizards-"

"Lupin told me," Snape interrupted.

"Yes, in the future, someone will need to do the potion formulas, laws and standards for ordinary people."

"So you thought of me?"

"That's right."

"Slughorn is better than me."

"He is more suitable for dealing with government departments and is good at dancing. He is also happy that I need someone who can calm down and do research."

Felix said, "And it's obvious that I trust you more."

The next day, the Ministry of Magic.

"Grindelwald did indeed take action." Ms. Bones said with a serious expression, she spread a newspaper on the table. Felix, senior officials of the Ministry of Magic and several members of the Order of the Phoenix stared at Grindelwald in the magical photos, who was attacked by flames and artillery fire. The woman next to him was ignored by everyone,

"What's going on?" Arthur Weasley gasped in shock, and he asked worriedly: "A war begins?" He is not a senior official now, but as the director of the Office of Abuse of Muggle Items, he was allowed to attend the meeting by exception.

"Not yet, he is still bound by the oath," Ms. Bones said with gratitude: "He is trying to save people."

"Save people?" Ludo Bagmann's round eyes widened and pointed at the ruins in the photo, "Is he trying to save people? Who did this?"

"Of course it's another person in the photo," Bones said with an ugly face. "I'm sorry, all I said is true, he didn't attack anyone. Muggle TV took some pictures, which were more complete than the photo - Percy went to get the equipment."

The office door was pushed open from outside, and Percy walked in, followed by a set of projection equipment.

Percy stuffed a box of straps in, then skillfully pressed the button. After a moment, moving pictures were cast on the wall. Everyone was blinded. The pictures in the camera kept shaking, but they still entered the surrounding scenery.

The place looked like a chemical factory, with a little desolate surroundings. There was a barbed wire hanging on the tall walls, the door was closed, and the helicopter's propeller made a huge noise. A hand appeared in the picture, and then disappeared, accompanied by a rapid and exciting voice: "On there!"

Then the camera alerted a corner of the factory.

Black flames rose into the air and poured out from a row of windows and gaps in a huge flat floor similar to the workshop. These black fires seemed to come from hell, and the huge tongues of flame twisted like giants' palms, and now their palms were brought together to wrap anything that could burn within their sight into the sea of ​​fire.

Is this - Lihuo?" Mr. Weasley said powerlessly that the window suddenly broke open, and a figure rolled out, a woman covered in darkness, with her hands and face scratched, her hair was muddy, and she looked very embarrassed. But she laughed wildly. Those present recognized her as the woman standing with Grindelwald in the newspaper.

Everyone looked at this scene in shock. The woman waved her wand desperately, and the flames rose high with the command of the wand, and there was a tendency to spread around. Looking down from a high place, it was like smashing an ink bottle to the ground. The reporter's breathing sound came from the picture.

"Edise Pandorani." Ms. Bones said, "The news came from the American Demon French Society that her daughter disappeared mysteriously not long ago. She sought help from the Demon French Society, but Congress had made a decision to hide completely, so naturally it would not change for her. She disappeared for a few days, and no one knew what happened during this period. She only knew that at five o'clock this morning, she suddenly appeared here and released a terrifying fire.

"Her daughter is dead?" Sirius asked with his eyes wide open.

"I don't know yet"

"Don't fool me!

"I really don't know," Ms. Bones sighed, "but there," she pointed to the huge factory building, "it was a secret laboratory, probably for wizards, so her daughter would not survive, otherwise she wouldn't...

The people in the office were solemn and silent, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen. Everyone was quietly watching the picture.

Edith Pandorani waved her wand at a great scale, making people feel her emotions. Although she accounts for a small proportion of the picture, Lihuo gradually began to deform as if she had life. Balls of flames were thrown away, burning the ground to charred, and some of them almost hit her. But she had no intention of avoiding it at all, but instead controlled the flames to make it bigger.

"She wants to destroy this place." A senior official from the Ministry of Magic saw the clue.

"She can't do it! She is not proficient in magic." Someone said.

"Unless she wants to die." Another shouted.

"Where did she learn this magic?"

"Investigation shows that - 1" Ms. Bones said with a stern face and an ugly expression: "Edise Pandorani had never learned the Scared Fire Curse before,

The American Magic and French Association investigated and found that she was an ordinary wizard, and she was best at housework magic."

"Can it be Grindelwald helped her?" Someone asked, and thought of two people in the same frame in the photo.

"There is no answer to this question, but once Grindelwald did not appear at the first time, he seemed to see it through live TV. You can continue watching."

A team of ants surged from the edge of the camera, and dense gunfire sounded. Edith Pandorani turned around and fought back, but she was soon injured.

Hiding behind a gray metal can. Someone in the special operations team called out, but responding to them was a series of red lights, so the team dispersed in an orderly manner and surrounded her from all directions.

A flying sand and stones.

Edith Pandorani seemed to release an immature hurricane curse. The thirty or forty feet high whirlwind spread outwards with a gray metal can as the center. The offensive was temporarily suspended, and the figure of the woman was not seen from the picture. Suddenly, a hurry came from the camera: "It's a military helicopter, it's great!"

Two helicopters brushed them and warned the reporters to evacuate immediately through the radio, but the reporter ignored them, "They don't even have a fuselage number." The two armed helicopters rushed straight towards the target, with missiles hanging under them. Then two machine guns poked out from the cabin, and dense flames spewed out of the muzzle. For a moment, everyone thought Edith Pandorani had finished the smoke and dust and dissipated, but she was intact, but there was one more person around her - Grindelwald. Grindelwald held up a huge shield and blocked the attacks, but he did not continue to do it, but lowered his head and talked to the woman.

The scene in the magic photo just matches what is happening now.

"Pull in! Pull the camera in!" the reporter shouted at the top of his throat. The picture trembled, and then showed Edith Pandorani's desperate face, but despair was immediately replaced by Xise, and then became ferocious. Unless she was in it, she couldn't understand these changes, she pointed at the factory and told something fiercely.

Grindelwald shook his head slowly, he raised his palm to show her, and then looked at the black Lihuo, his lips squirmed. They seemed to have reached an agreement. The woman no longer cared about the threats from behind, and the magic wand commanded Lihuo again. Everyone could see that she had no ability to control this magic at all. She just kept stacking flames with resentment. The consequences of doing so would be out of control, but since Grindelwald was present, they were not sure of the result.

The machine gun sound stopped briefly because of Grindelwald's sudden appearance, and then continued to fire. Two fires suddenly appeared below the helicopter. Grindelwald turned around and glanced at him, waved his wand, and the missile exploded in the air.

Then, a tiny blue light surged from the tip of his wand, like a liquid flame, or like a burning water flow. The blue light flew out of the tip of his wand and disappeared out of thin air, as if it had been moved elsewhere. No one knew what magic Grindelwald had used.

But the people in the conference room witnessed its effect the next second.

One missile was launched, and suddenly exploded hundreds of feet away when approaching the two people, as if it was hitting an invisible wall. "There should be an invisible magic barrier in the air!" Sirius said excitedly.

In the next half minute, the missile exploded around the two, but neither could break through the barrier.

Grindelwald seemed to do it casually, and after confirming that the helicopters and ground forces could not interfere with them, he set his sights on Edith Pandorani. He nourished by extreme emotions, Lihuo climbed to a certain peak and turned into a monster composed of black flames.

These monsters also inherited the mood of their masters. They seemed crazy and cruel, desperately trampling on the earth, rushing in all directions. Edith Pandorani fell to the ground, watching all this happily.

The people in the Ministry of Magic realized that the spell was out of control.

Sure enough, the Lihuo monster rushed to the only two two lives in the field and kept rushing towards them, but was blocked by an invisible force.

Grindelwald pulled the woman up, raised her wand flat, and instantly gained control of Lihuo. The black flame became extremely well-behaved in his hands, and the flame creature was pinched into a ball again, like a hideous monster entrenched in the original position of the factory.

Then he waved his wand suddenly, and a hurricane that was a hundred times stronger than the one used by Edith Pandorani appeared out of thin air. The whirlwind seemed to connect to the clouds in the sky, and the black fierce fire was torn and deformed by the strong wind, condensed into a stream to surge towards them.

The fire merged with the hurricane and then expanded rapidly. The helicopters in the sky quickly dodged, but the target of the flame was not them. The entire factory was wrapped and burned to white ground. Grindelwald looked at the camera in the sky of fire. Then the flame vortex suddenly contracted, and the factory was wiped from the ground. Grindelwald and Edith Pandorani disappeared together.

The helicopter slowly approached and a huge deep pit appeared on the spot.

The picture ended here. The conference room fell into silence for a long time.

"The International Wizards' Federation and the American Magic and French Association both separated the whereabouts of the two, but they found nothing in the end. They were worried that this matter would lead to greater opposition and conflict." Ms. Bones said dryly.

"Then let them go and find Grindelwald," Felix said without interest.

The fire laboratory incident has caused quite a response around the world. The pictures they saw in the Ministry of Magic were analyzed and interpreted by relevant departments of various countries one by one. It is obvious that Grindelwald did not use all his strength at all. But the conclusions they came to are still chilling.

"If this magic appeared in the city, it could ruin dozens of blocks."

Grindelwald's past experience is no longer a secret, and it is reported in turn by reporters and media. Correspondingly, the unbreakable oath, the Wizard Shilu also openly appeared in the Muggle newspaper, attracting waves of heated discussion and condemnation.

Several more newspapers received letters from students. Two newspapers were neutral, and the remaining ones criticized these letters, perhaps because they wanted to take the opportunity to attract dissatisfied wizards to protest, but they naturally could not receive any subsequent letters.

But these are all trivial matters.
To be continued...
