Hogwarts Outsider

The previously lively Hogwarts campus suddenly became deserted overnight.

　　 There is no hustle and bustle, no laughter, no vitality.

　　 As the students leave, the whole campus looks lifeless.

　　 The administrator Mr. Pringle was holding a mop a little tired, and was cleaning the sanitation of the castle, completely losing his usual interest. His pet Mr. Tang was lying on the side very lazily.

　　 "Good morning, Jeffrey!" An old figure walked over at this moment.

　　 "Good morning, Professor Grindelwald!" Mr. Pringle got up quickly.

　　 "By the way, did you see Vita?" The principal stopped and asked, "I didn't find her in her office."

　　 "Professor Rozier, I just seemed to see her in front of the Transfiguration Office." Mr. Pringle replied, bending slightly.

　　 "Okay, thank you!" Professor Grindelwald nodded towards Mr. Pringle, looked at the mop in his hand, and added: "Thank you!"

"This is what I should do!"

　　……

　　 The principal walked slowly in the corridor of the castle.

　　 Five minutes later, he came to the office of the Transformation Department and at the same time found the deputy principal.

　　Professor Vita Rozier, who is "Youth Forever", is lying on the window, quietly looking out the window, seeming to be in a daze.

　　 "Vita!" As the principal whispered her name, she seemed to have just "woke up like a dream".

　　 "Master Grindelwald!" She turned around and bent slightly.

　　 "What are you thinking about?" Grindelwald, like her, also asked a window beside her, and asked casually.

　　 "I suddenly thought of Professor Troca." Professor Rozier said softly, "I wonder what happened to him?"

　　 "I didn't expect you to care about Edward." Grindelwald's voice was slightly surprised: "I remember, you hate vampires, creatures in the dark..."

"Of course!" Professor Rozier's voice suddenly became a bit cold, which was a bit rare when she faced Professor Grindelwald: "I never conceal my disgust for those disgusting creatures. ..."

　　 "...But Edward Troca is ours after all. He and I have been colleagues for more than half a year, and sacrificed so much for us..."

"Okay, I see, Vita." Grindelwald explained, "Edward's situation is very good. He has now fled to Belfast. The influence of the Ministry of Magic over there is relatively weak. What a danger; not to mention, we have been providing news to the Ministry that he has appeared in Asia Minor..."

　　 Rozier nodded: "I understand."

　　 After a pause, she continued to ask, "By the way, Lord Grindelwald, are you coming to me, is there anything important?"

　　 "There is indeed a little thing." Grindelwald sighed: "Weta, please take me into the principal's office."

　　 This seems a bit weird. Gellert Grindelwald, as the principal of Hogwarts, wanted to enter the principal's office, so he actually asked the vice principal Vita Rozier.

　　 Moreover, Rozier did not seem to express any surprises about this incident.

　　 She just walked in front calmly: "Please follow me, Lord Grindelwald."

　　……

　　 The two stopped in front of a huge statue of a lion head beast.

　　If Matthew was here, it would be easy to recognize...This statue is the statue that protected him from Morgana's howling on Valentine's Day.

　　 Rozier raised her wand and chanted a spell softly to the statue.

　　 And Grindelwald stood quietly behind her.

　　 The lion head beast moved suddenly, jumped aside, and the wall behind it split in half.

　　 Behind the wall is a spiral staircase, which is slowly moving upward, like an escalator. Grindelwald took a few steps forward, and slowly ascended along with the spiral staircase.

　　 He rotated higher and higher, higher and higher, and finally came to a shiny oak door.

　　 There is no doubt that inside is an extremely delicate cabin.

　　 The principal’s office is a spacious, beautiful round room, but judging from the heavy dust around it, it seems that it has been unoccupied for a long time.

　　 The walls are covered with portraits of old principals, men and women, and they all snore gently in their respective frames.

　　 But as Gellert Grindelwald entered, it seemed to interrupt the peace in the principal's office.

　　The sleeping wizards and wizards on the wall woke up one after another. They glared at the "intruder", and even many old wizards began to curse:

　　 "Murderer!"

"Butcher!"

　　 "Go to Hogwarts!"

　　 "Don't defile this place!"

　　……

　　 It's a pity that Grindelwald turned a deaf ear to these shouts.

　　 He walked into the principal's office a few steps, opened the desk drawer, and took out a small silver lighter (light extinguisher).

　　Waiting for those former and former principals, after getting tired of scolding...

　　 After it becomes a little quieter here...

　　 Grindelwald waved his hand, and the curtains were all closed.

　　 Then he bounced the light extinguisher slightly, only to hear a few consecutive "clicks", and all the lights in the room were also turned off.

　　 Only the light extinguisher is left, a very faint small light spot——

　　 "Long time no see!" Looking at the little light spot~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Grindelwald said with a smile.

　　 In the light spot, a weak voice came out: "Grindelwald...Kill me..."

　　 is almost exactly the same as Morgana's voice that day.

"Sorry." Grindelwald shook his head with some regret: "I always respect the truly great wizards in history. Since Merlin didn't choose to kill you back then, I will naturally respect his choice now... so kill. You, I can't do it..."

　　 "Also, Ms. Morgana, what I asked you to consider a few months ago..."

　　 "Do you think that...I will succumb..." Morgana's voice was weak, but extremely firm: "It's impossible...I will never..."

　　 "Then I can only give you a few more months to think about it slowly!" Grindelwald sighed and put the light extinguisher back into the drawer.

　　 However, Morgana’s voice suddenly sounded again:

　　 "You did win...Grindelwald...Your trap caught me off guard..."

The witch’s voice suddenly became a little bit ridiculous: "But so what, do you think you are different from me? You are just a little better than me... In fact, we are all just'middlemen'. That's it..."

　　 Gellert Grindelwald's expression did not fluctuate.

"so what?"

　　 He closed the drawer, then strode out and left here.
