Hogwarts: Oops, I'm Voldemort

Chapter 196 The top four competition begins (page 4)

Grindelwald's prophecy was not just vague information in a few words, but pictures one by one.

Fifty years ago, he saw the moment when nuclear weapons exploded, and saw the terrifying power brought about by the development of Muggle technology. Now, what he saw was another scene, more mysterious and unpredictable, but not completely without information.

The white curtain and death easily reminded Cyrus of the Chamber of Death in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic.

Whether it was the book or the movie, Death Hall left a deep impression on Sellers. Especially when Sirius disappeared at the other end of the arch, heading to another world amid the fluttering white curtains.

As for the darkness…

'Could it be Voldemort? ’ Cyrus pondered for a moment.

The corners of Grindelwald's mouth suddenly raised, but there was a stiffness, as if the skin was being pulled into an arc. He seemed to have guessed what was in Cyrus's mind and said softly:

"Voldemort is a very talented and crazy person. He will not recover like this. We all know this. The key lies in how he returns after this failure."

Prophecy has never been a power that can be manipulated at will. Even the most gifted wizard can only see some fragments. Grindelwald saw Voldemort return from death, but he didn't know how he did it.

His unique eyes stared at Cyrus, as if he had countless things to say.

In fact, he still had a vital piece of information about the prophecy that he had not disclosed, which was why he finally decided to leave Nurmengard.

"I know you plan to defeat Dumbledore in front of the whole world, and I can help you." Grindelwald said.

"What about your purpose? Just because I plan to break the law of secrecy?" Cyrus raised his eyebrows. He didn't think Grindelwald was a generous and helpful wizard. "The world I want is the same as yours." The world you want is different.”

After all, Grindelwald is a very ambitious and ambitious man. Although everything he has done in the past is extreme, in the final analysis, it is for a greater benefit, but the object of this benefit is the wizard group.

Cyrus is not so noble, he is only pursuing his own interests.

At most, it is just to make wizards and Muggles as equal as possible under themselves.

"Fifty years have passed, and I no longer care about those things." Grindelwald said sadly.

Time will wear away a person's ambition, especially every day and night he spent sitting in Nurmengard for the past fifty years, making him immersed in the pain of the past.

Compared with the separation of relatives and friends, the world is actually not that important.

Cyrus looked at Grindelwald and had to say that the conditions proposed by Grindelwald were very tempting. With such a powerful ally standing by his side, even Dumbledore was not afraid of holding the Elder Wand.

"But I refuse."

"You refuse?" Grindelwald didn't seem to expect that Cyrus would reject him. He was a little surprised, and every raised eyebrow expressed disbelief, "Aren't you afraid that I will deal with you together with Dumbledore? Breaking the secrecy law will inevitably cause turmoil, and he will not want to see rivers of blood."

"It seems more valuable to me to defeat the dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald and the greatest wizard Albus Dumbledore at the same time." Cyrus smiled confidently.

His purpose is to let the whole world see his power. As a reference for comparison, the stronger the better.

The combination of Grindelwald and Dumbledore put a lot of pressure on Cyrus, but now that he has completely mastered the power of ancient magic and the legacy left by Morgana, he may not be unable to give it a try.

But this is only one of the reasons.

Another reason why Cyrus is not so willing to cooperate with Grindelwald is that Grindelwald is notorious. If you travel with him, you will naturally be labeled Grindelwald as extreme and evil.

Although fifty years have passed, people may have forgotten what Grindelwald looked like, what he said, and what specific things he did, but people will always remember the feelings Grindelwald made them and what he brought to them. fear, nor will he forget his hatred for him.

"You have chosen the most difficult path." Grindelwald frowned.

"Let's wait and see." Cyrus smiled faintly, and then completely stopped communicating with Grindelwald. He sat up straight again, and the frozen time suddenly dissolved as if spring had arrived.

After a while, there was a noise outside the auditorium, and more than a thousand wizards lined up and walked in behind Dumbledore and other professors. Cyrus saw Harry and the others greeting him in the crowd, so he responded with his eyes.

"Keep you waiting, gentlemen." Ms. Maxim was followed by a group of witches in blue costumes, dancing like elves. Of course, there are also a few wizards, but they are not that eye-catching, especially under the gorgeous appearance of the half-blood enchantress Fleur Delacour.

The magic in her blood attracted the attention of almost half of the wizards in Hogwarts, and the other half who were not attracted were all witches.

However, this trick is ineffective against very powerful wizards, especially for monsters like Cyrus whose magic resistance is comparable to that of a fire dragon.

"The French wizard's concept of time is indeed unflattering." Sellers said sarcastically.

This made the Beauxbatons students a little unhappy. Fleur's sister Gabrielle glared at Cyrus angrily, her cheeks bulging like a pufferfish.

But no one refuted it, after all, Cyrus was telling the truth.

Barty Crouch Jr. disguised as Maxim originally planned to let the students sit in the Slytherin seats, but after finding that there were already full of Ilvermorny students, he had to let the students go to Ravenclaw. there.

At this time, all the teachers and students were finally seated, but Cyrus noticed that there were a few more empty chairs on the faculty seats.

Dumbledore stood in front of the golden podium engraved with an eagle, and did not begin his short speech as always until the entire auditorium fell completely silent.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, ghosts, and - especially - distinguished guests, it is with great joy that I welcome you to Hogwarts. I hope and believe that you will be here Feel comfortable and happy." He paused and continued, "The competition will officially begin at the end of the banquet. I now invite everyone to eat and drink as much as you would at home!"

Then, he strode back to his seat, with Cyrus and Grindelwald sitting on both sides of him.

Maxim's position was arranged slightly further away. Hagrid, who was also a big man, had not moved his eyes away from the first sight of Maxim. This actually made Cyrus look forward to Barty Clark Jr. Will Rauch develop an unforgettable romance with Hagrid?

Next it’s time to eat.

Obviously, for this competition, even the kitchen of Hogwarts has changed its appearance. The house elves have learned more tricks, and many French dishes are popping up, as well as some American dishes. Food is also crowded on the table.
