The Death Knell

"Bang, ring, ring, ring..."

Listening to the shop door being closed and the sound of the bells shaking continuously behind the door, and looking at Fuji's back as he left happily, Su Ming played with the snake leaf leaves in his hand expressionlessly.

Although these things are leaves, they feel like thin stockings. In order to prevent them from drying out and falling into pieces, they are always soaked in ice water for transportation.

Yes, we got the thing. After the sabotage duo gradually extended their black hands to Ilvermorny School, and even after Grindelwald showed up near the school, Principal Fontana still gave in and he reached the agreement through the Magic Congress. The deal with the British Ministry of Magic finally made Dumbledore's aid trip possible.

It is already two months later. If they still insist on not letting go, it will be difficult for Su Ming and Grindelwald to make trouble without exposing the magical world.

Fortunately, Fontana still didn't dare to gamble with his students. He was not sure when the Dark Lord would invade the school.

Unfortunately, until the end, Su Ming could not find the location of the snake tree by himself, even with the help of the Dark Lord and the cloak.

When Dumbledore arrived at Ilvermorny, Su Ming and Snape said goodbye to Fontana. The excuse was that the new semester was about to start, and they had to go back to Hogwarts to prepare lessons. At the same time, they did not want to be nagged by their principal.

Old Deng still looked cheerful. He just chatted with Snape for a few words. After getting an answer that was nothing unusual, he had no clue for the time being. He could only stay in Ilvermorny for a while to see what was going on. develop.

There is no way, who told the Ministry of Magic to take advantage of others? What's more, he himself wanted to ask Grindelwald why he ran away.

Fontana looked much older in more than two months. He was so confused that he did not delve into the thoughts of the two British professors. After holding a small farewell party, he even used Apparition to take the two of them directly to JFK International. In the airport bathroom.

While they were waiting for the plane, Fontana read the No-Maj newspapers, and there were a lot of speculations about the recent 'occult' incidents in various places.

He mentioned that Kohaug's life has been very difficult recently.

A big hole was made in the headquarters building, which completely overturned the defense measures of the past few decades. It was not safe there and everyone was in danger.

What's more, the vast majority of the members had no power to fight back when facing Grindelwald. The Aurors had cast more Oblivion Curses in the past two months than in the past hundred years. Fear and fatigue drove some people crazy.

Those who were still sober focused their efforts and thoughts on how to impeach Kohaug. The careerists saw the opportunity and wanted to have a taste of greater power.

Professor Wilson sympathized with them with great concern, and prayed that Merlin's beard would watch over the poor souls.

Principal Fontana felt that the physical education teacher was a good person. Although he did not figure out what kind of physical education class it was until the end, he was obviously gentler and friendlier than his counterpart, Professor Snape.

Professor Wilson helped come up with many ideas to defend against Grindelwald's invasion, and he was usually very nice to talk to, which made Fontana even want to recruit people from Hogwarts to Ilvermorny.

But the other party refused because magic in Britain is underdeveloped and physical education classes are necessary!

In order to save an aging wizarding world, he must return to Hogwarts.

The cowboy principal was impressed by this man's great sentiments. Will he use his own power to change the dilapidated status quo? It's great to be young...

Although Fontana believed that the future of the wizarding world must belong to the United States and Ilvermorny was better than Hogwarts, he still sincerely wished good people a safe life. After the plane took off, he still looked up to the sky on the rooftop of the terminal hall. Waving goodbye.

"thank you!"

Through the cabin wall of the plane, Deathstroke seemed to be able to hear the old principal’s words of gratitude.

Then? There's no after that.

Everyone avoided Dumbledore and returned to London, Snape returned to school, and Su Ming returned to the automatic wand shop in Diagon Alley.

Grindelwald knew that now was not the time to see Albus, so he went to Paris and enjoyed fashion there. What he asked Kohaug to tell Dumbledore before was just a cover. Old Deng was here, but he escaped on his own, with no intention of a head-on confrontation.

However, Dumbledore didn't know about this and thought that Grindelwald was lurking in the dark preparing some big move. He could only inform Professor McGonagall to act as acting headmaster temporarily. He might not return for several months.

The plan went smoothly, so Su Ming returned to the store and waited peacefully. In his free time, he went to visit and have something to eat.

Hermione, on the other hand, comes to play with guns every day, and her little hands have the kind of calluses that only killers and mercenaries have.

Su Ming gave her a gift brought from the United States and asked her to rest for a few days. He told her that she should not just exercise during the summer vacation. She should go to play with Hannah and Susan. Good friends should communicate frequently.

Hermione left with a cowboy hat and a pony as gifts. She had a headache. Can she keep a horse in her backyard?

But the professor is right. Staying at home during the summer vacation is boring. You can go hang out with your friends. Susan and Hannah are from pure-blood families, so it should be fun at home, right?

But isn’t it bad to go to someone else’s house rashly? And how should this horse be brought back to Manchester from London? She can't apparate!

The little girl left in confusion.

A few days later, on a night in midsummer, it was drizzling in the sky. Fudge came mysteriously in the middle of the night. While knocking on the door, he looked back. The brim of his hat was lowered, so that the rain fell. It was all on his tie.

After the transaction was completed, he was not even in the mood to sit down and have a cup of tea. He was anxious to find a place to hide the gold galleons and left in a hurry.

This is what happened before.

............................

"This guy is really useful. I'm a little reluctant to let him step down." Su Ming threw the leaves back into the water tank and walked to the basement with the big tank in his hands.

"I also think he's pretty good. At least he's not so stupid that he knows that shady deals need to be done at night." Grindelwald emerged from the darkness, wearing a new set of clothes and looking elegant.

"Borrowed it." Su Ming held up a basin as big as a bathtub and walked past: "I have obtained the leaves, but it is not time to use them. There are no conditions to preserve the soulless body here."

"I know, but I plan to dig up Arianna's grave and steal the bones first." Grindelwald twisted to give way and winked frivolously.

Su Ming bent down and touched the spider totem. The man disappeared for a moment with the big vat. When he reappeared, there was nothing in his hand. He shook the water in his hand and looked at the Dark Lord who was following him:

"Are you going to Godric's Hollow? Be careful about Bathilda Basset, she still remembers you. By the way, bring the bones of Lily Potter, the neighbor of Ariana's grave. She is the one Snape wants to resurrect. people."

Grindelwald showed a cheerful smile and stared at the wooden stick with spiders carved on it with his strange eyes. He didn't know what it was, but he only thought it was a workshop where the Invisible Stretching Curse was cast.

But why a spider? It's also made to look like African voodoo, which is quite ridiculous.

"If we only steal the bones of these two people, Dumbledore will inevitably think of something, so my plan is to dig up the entire cemetery. As long as everyone's bones are lost, no one will know our goal."

As expected of the Dark Lord, his actions were quite dark, but things were just as he said, and it was indeed safer this way.

Su Ming took out a cigarette and lit it. The dark basement was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and dust:

"Make note of the corresponding locations of those bones. You will still have to return them in the future. I suggest that you fire a Dark Mark after you are done to blame Voldemort. Severus will teach you how to use that magic. I think, let You may have been a little wronged by the first Dark Lord launching the false king's symbol, but this..."

"It's for the greater good." Grindelwald interrupted Su Ming with a smile and touched his mustache: "I don't care about this little thing. He won't live long anyway, right?"

"Correct. Without killing Voldemort, it is impossible for Albus to retire and live in a world of two with you, so this matter also requires your efforts."

Su Ming exhaled a piece of smoke, and the blue-gray suspended matter seemed to turn into a ferocious skull shape under the light.
