Hogwarts: Magical Elegy

Just as Sophia nodded.

Da da da--

The sound of slow footsteps could be heard clearly in every corner of the city.

This is...Sofia didn't know what it was, so she subconsciously held up the Iron Armor Charm in front of her.

But obviously, the Iron Armor Curse cannot block the sound of footsteps.

Steve Delacour looked straight ahead with a serious expression.

In front of him was a river that ran through and divided the city.

An iron bridge was supposed to connect the two sides of the river, but now the section under my feet has been destroyed by artillery fire.

There was smoke on the other side of the river. The night made the situation on the other side even more blurry.

As the footsteps continued to sound.

A wizard with a golden back, wearing a dark trench coat, and holding an Elder Wand walked up to the bridge on the other side with brisk and slow steps.

"Grindelwald..." Sofia's voice was trembling. Judging from her tight body, she was under great pressure inside.

Because of Grindelwald's footsteps magic, she had no way to stop it.

This alone makes people feel a sense of powerlessness.

Grindelwald's move is a simple application of the wizard's second level.

Let the natural magic obey your orders and convey your footsteps.

For this reason alone, at least 90% of the hundreds of wizards behind Steve, like Sofia, don't know how Grindelwald did it.

The remaining few people could only vaguely feel the abnormalities around them.

The only one who is truly clear and able to compete with Grindelwald may be Steve Delacour.

"snort--"

Seeing Grindelwald being too arrogant, Steve Delacour snorted coldly.

Cold snorts also sounded in everyone's ears, and then the sound of Grindelwald's footsteps disappeared from everyone's ears.

On the broken bridge, Grindelwald's footsteps paused slightly.

It seemed that he was a little surprised that a top wizard dared to stay alone to fight with him.

He put away his casual attitude and carefully looked at the wizard in front of him with his strange-colored pupils.

There were only a few wizards who dared to look at him in front of him.

Soon, he set his sights on the wizard at the front who surprised him.

"It's you, Delacour."

Grindelwald disappeared from the bridge in a flash.

Appearing again, he had arrived alone on another tall building next to Steve Delacour.

"Grindelwald! You Dark Lord! Why did you start the war! Do you know how many wizards died because of this war?! You know my relatives..."

It might be the hatred for killing his father, the hatred for taking away his wife, or something else.

Anyway, just as Grindelwald stood firm on the eaves, a middle-aged wizard with pale hair rushed towards him desperately waving his wand.

Grindelwald didn't even bother to look at him, he just put the index finger of his wand hand to his mouth.

The middle-aged wizard froze motionless in the air. His exposed skin was covered with veins. It was obvious that he was struggling hard or even trying to cast magic.

But under Grindelwald's suppression, his resistance alone was so insignificant.

"Wizards are destined to rule other creatures."

"I don't want to kill you this time, just to give you a warning. I don't want wizards to bleed in vain, but there are always traitors who persist in their obsession! I'll give you a lesson, go and calm down first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged wizard flew towards the ruins downstairs like a cannonball.

Thanks to his companions who had been waiting for an opportunity to attack, they were able to react and save him.

Like flicking away a small insect, Grindelwald gracefully extended his hand to Steve Delacour.

"Delacul, I'm thinking whether mixed-blood wizards can be considered our brothers. How about you set an example?"

There are so few wizards that Grindelwald is really considering whether the hybrids of wizards and humanoids should be considered wizards. Of course, at least half of them must be wizards.

"Please allow me to refuse, I completely disagree with your ideas!"

Steve Delacour refused without hesitation, as he had not made any move before.

It was because when Grindelwald appeared on the other side, the magic of freedom around him suddenly shook violently, so much so that he almost lost control.

Although Grindelwald appeared for just a moment, it was enough to make him dare not act rashly.

But this will not sway him from resisting Grindelwald's rule over violence and wizards.

"I'm disappointed... I'm angry! My fellow citizens!"

Grindelwald was stunned for a moment, then lost his expression, and then he clenched his fists, waved them fiercely and said to the air.

Fortunately, the wizards who can persist in confronting Grindelwald with Steve Delacour are generally relatively strong-willed.

Only a few people lost themselves in Grindelwald's infectious words, but with the help of their companions, they gradually regained consciousness.

"I thought that the war had reached this level! It was enough for you to see how much of a threat Muggle weapons posed to us!"

"They are obviously weak, humble, poor people abandoned by God!"

"Without magic, they use stolen weapons to deal with us who are favored by magic!"

"Why should we, who have magical talents, be ruled by these No-Majs?! Apart from being more numerous than us, is there anything special about them?!"

"Just because there are so many of them! We have to make concessions over and over again!"

"Brothers! Sisters! My friends!"

"Think about your life hiding from XZ!"

"Think about it, you can't use magic to do what you want in the outside world unscrupulously!"

"Think of all the poor magical creatures forced out of their habitats by No-Majs!"

"Our magical world is getting more and more withered! It's because there are some traitors! They're cowardly! They're because Muggles are more powerful!"

"They acted like ostriches and directed their grievances against the warriors who led them to the new world!"

"You know what I'm talking about! You've seen this with your own eyes!"

"I ask again! Do you still want to stop me? Are you willing to give in step by step until the last wizard... disappears from this world?"

————————

After Grindelwald finished speaking, the whole city fell silent.

Gradually, many lonely wizards lowered their wands aimed at Grindelwald.

Several wizards apparated behind Grindelwald.

The rest apparated and left here, and they chose to help each other.

But this has already achieved Grindelwald's purpose.

The rest are die-hards, staunch Muggle informants who are hopeless.

"It seems that you still don't give up... you don't believe that Muggles can threaten you."

"Experience it for a moment. How long will you have to hide in the sewers from when you were born to when you were able to resist Muggle weapons of this level?"

As he finished speaking, Grindelwald sent out a stream of fireworks into the sky.

On the other side of the river where Grindelwald came from, countless artillery fires were lit simultaneously, accompanied by deafening sounds.

The dense and rainy sea of ​​artillery went straight to the land where the tall buildings at Grindelwald's feet were removed.

Steve was horrified, and even though he wanted to help, he was unable to do anything at this moment. Grindelwald was wiping the corners of his clothes not far away!
