Hogwarts: Where the Pokémon Are

Chapter 188 Barty Crouch

The false Lockhart is suspected of being a follower of Grindelwald, which surprises Xia Lin.

Most of those old guys had no news after Grindelwald was imprisoned in Nurmengard, and according to Dumbledore, Grindelwald seemed to have begun to repent over the years. In this case, why do the saints still go out?

Is it their own will, or Grindelwald's?

However, since it was Old Bee's family matter, he didn't plan to get too involved, but he still had to let him know. So after sending Lockhart away, he conjured up a patronus and let it deliver the message.

After a while, a silver phoenix flew back and hovered above Xia Lin's head. It became a text.

"I have already noticed that Lockhart was probably switched after he left last time. Grindelwald seems to have not moved. It should be his followers' own will. Let me handle this matter."

After saying this, Dumbledore's Patronus dissipated like a wisp of smoke. Regarding Grindelwald, even though he knew that Xia Lin knew everything, he still didn't want to say more. He always says that "young people can feel the sting of love" which actually illustrates his attitude.

When Dumbledore's sister Ariana died in a melee between three people, Grindelwald fled Godric's Hollow without hesitation. This incident was enough to make him suffer forever. Perhaps the hatred will slowly disappear, but the regret will only become deeper and deeper over time.

It was like gray dust constantly covering the young Dumbledore's body in layers. His short-lived joy and chaotic love were buried forever together with his sister at that time.

Dumbledore didn't ask for help, so Xia Lin naturally didn't want to do anything, since Grindelwald was no longer a threat to him.

Perhaps when he was young, he was as strong as Dumbledore, but Xia Lin himself was the same in this regard. What's more, the other party has been trapped in Nurmengard for so many years, and I am afraid that he no longer has such powerful magical power.

Compared with his strength, what is truly terrifying about Grindelwald is his thoughts and appeal. Voldemort's Death Eaters are no match for Grindelwald's saints.

Since he didn't have to worry about it himself, Xia Lin still focused on the villain organization. Sakaki left the protected area and went to Alola during this period, where he has been training Pokémon, and it was time to bring him back.

Time flies so fast, the annual Halloween·Hogwarts·Danger limited edition has arrived unknowingly.

During this time, Voldemort, who had escaped from England, had been causing chaos in the international wizarding community. Under Charlene's control, he first attacked the French Ministry of Magic. The birdcage elevator in the center of Furstenberg Square was blown to pieces, and then he knocked down dozens of Aurors who came to surround him and walked away.

As for his behavior, some people speculated that he went crazy after being defeated, while others said that he was looking for Nico Flamel's inheritance so that he could use it to deal with Charlene Gold.

Because of Voldemort's actions, Charlene Gold, the man who had defeated him not long ago and drove him out of Britain, once again became world-famous. Voldemort proved that he was not in vain, and at the same time, Xia Lin's status in the wizarding world rose.

Then, this madman fought all the way to the Ministry of Magic in several countries, and then to the United States. This time he controlled several Muggle planes and smashed them into the Pentagon. This forced the members of the Magical Congress to suffer huge casualties, and also had to cast an oblivion spell on Muggles.

After all, Voldemort wasn't sneaky when he attacked.

Just when people were wondering why he traveled across the ocean to come to the United States, Voldemort attacked Ilvermorny in Mount Greylock, Massachusetts, and turned an ancient snakewood in Ilvermorny into a wand and took it away. .

So many wizards thought that he was here for Slytherin's wand, and that the attack on the Magical Congress was just a incidental matter. After all, Voldemort is a Dark Lord, and it is not surprising to do anything he does.

In response to these attacks, each victimized country immediately sent Aurors to pursue them. The International Federation of Wizards did not stand idly by this time. After all, there were too many victimized countries, and the matter had evolved from an internal incident in one country to an international incident.

With so many countries united, even if Voldemort himself came, it would be impossible to confront them head-on. But now he is alone and can fully engage in guerrilla warfare. Aurors cannot gather together all the time. As long as they disperse, they will be attacked immediately.

So the International Federation of Wizards had no choice but to believe the British Ministry of Magic, which stated that Voldemort was a dark wizard who came from the UK, and the UK should be solely responsible for this matter!

Especially Charlene Gold, who drove Voldemort out. He should arrest Voldemort just like Dumbledore arrested Grindelwald.

In response, Fudge directly rejected the letter without even showing it to Xia Lin.

"It's really interesting. Last time they said they wanted to deal with Mr. Xia Lin and Pokémon?" Fudge seemed to have heard a big joke. "Reject it. Just say that Mr. Xia Lin considers the international response to his Pokémon." There are still some voices of resistance in Meng, and there are currently no plans to take Pokémon out of the UK.”

Deputy Minister Umbridge nodded sweetly, blinked her eyes quickly, and was about to exit when Fudge called her to stop her.

"How is Barty these days? He has been sick for several days."

"He came back two days ago. I think he is indeed older. It seems that he also intends to resign, but he still said that he plans to continue working for two years." Umbridge said with a raised voice.

"Barty, my poor old fellow!" Fudge said with a frown, but judging from his expression, he was not very sad. If it hadn't been for Barty Crouch's past affairs, Cornelius Fudge would never have been able to take the position of Minister of Magic. Not to mention the fame and fortune that comes with being on Charlene Gold's bridge like this.

Umbridge chuckled, as if she was coughing.

"If Barty resigns, who do you think is more suitable to take this position?" she asked tentatively.

It's not that Umbridge is interested in Barty's position. After all, she is now the deputy minister, and her position is higher than Crouch.

"It seems that there is a good boy in the Weasley family. He will graduate in two years. Let him give it a try." Fudge thought for a while and said. On the one hand, Percy Weasley is indeed one of the outstanding graduates in the past two years, and on the other hand, this can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill from him on ZZ.

Although he now relies on Charlene Gold, he has not forgotten that there is also Dumbledore. As it happens, the Weasleys were very close to Dumbledore.
