Chapter 878 The Weight of the Scale

"But he must think that he can solve this trouble..." Ivan murmured to himself. Only in this way can he explain why Grindelwald chose to escape from prison instead of waiting to die in New Mengadeli.

It is impossible for a dying person to pay attention to newspapers in England and Europe all day long...

Ivan recalled his previous contact with Grindelwald, and many doubts came to mind again. The one that concerned him the most was the so-called agreement. What did Dumbledore agree with him?

Ivan never believed that things would be as simple as Grindelwald said!

A slightly more comfortable environment is not worth having Grindelwald sacrifice everything to bear the harm of dark magic on Dumbledore's behalf.

Such a transaction is obviously unbalanced, but what if a weight called freedom is placed on the other end of the scale?

Ivan has not forgotten that when they last met, Grindelwald was almost without any restrictions in the tower...

Now that I think about it, maybe it was there before. It was possible that Dumbledore had specially unchained him in order to let him deal with Voldemort.

And Grindelwald didn't leave immediately because he knew that Voldemort would come to his door sooner or later with the Deathly Hallows!

Thinking this, Ivan looked at Harry and Snape and tried to get some clues from them, but Madam Pomfrey was already standing around him at some point, her eyes like knives.

"Hals, I have to remind you that you have been talking for ten full minutes. I think Potter and Severus need a good rest!" Madam Pomfrey said seriously.

"Okay, madam, I'll leave now!" Ivan shrugged helplessly, with no intention of arguing with Madam Pomfrey.

Snape and Harry had experienced two battles in a row, and their minds had almost reached their limit. It was indeed time for a good sleep.

…

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, but the shadow of Grindelwald's attack still hung over Hogwarts. The young wizards discussed the attack during class and after class, and even went to the toilet in the middle of the night. They had to stay in groups, for fear of someone emerging from the shadows.

Not only that, nearly a quarter of the parents applied to drop out of school or temporarily suspend school because they all expressed doubts about the security issues at Hogwarts. According to the children's reports, there were five professors and ten teachers at that time. Several Aurors were present, but failed to stop the intruders.

Pierce had to send people to reply one letter after another, trying to retain as many students as possible.

However, Pierce was also very puzzled. There have been many similar vicious incidents in Hogwarts in recent years. He had never seen these parents have such strong opinions before.

However, even if he tried hard, he couldn't understand that many little wizards were writing letters and crying to their parents every day, just to avoid the upcoming final exam...

Fortunately, the talk about Grindelwald was quickly replaced by another piece of bombshell news. The Daily Prophet published the good news of Voldemort's defeat on the third day after the attack.

Any wizard who heard the news would feel happy and at the same time have endless doubts. After all, the news came too suddenly, and Voldemort died quietly, without leaving even a body.

The newspaper's front page headline only said that the Ministry of Magic's elite Aurors found the hiding place of Voldemort and planned an ambush to secretly capture the Dark Lord. As a result, Voldemort refused to surrender and was injured. A dozen Aurors were later killed on the spot by a joint effort, and their bodies were blown into a puddle of mud...

"The Ministry of Magic should make up a better story..." Ivan threw the prophet in his hand on the table and shook his head speechlessly.

Is this the story that the Aurors spent three days racking their brains to come up with?

It’s too outrageous!

"And they didn't even mention Harry!" Ron said angrily.

"No! They mentioned it!" Hermione turned over the Daily Prophet and pointed to a certain page. "It says that Professor Snape was an undercover agent sent by the Ministry of Magic to the mysterious man. Thanks to him passing on information, the Aurors were able to discover the mysterious man's whereabouts, and Harry was responsible for using him as a bait to lure the mysterious man out..."

"But they didn't say that the mysterious man was killed by Harry, right?" Ron was still a little unable to let go.

"Come on, Ron, I didn't even know what was going on that day." Harry said with relief. He didn't care much about being taken away from the Ministry of Magic, because really speaking, the biggest contributor to killing Voldemort should be Green. DeVoe is right.

Ivan also nodded and said in agreement. "This matter is too complicated. The Ministry of Magic is right to cover up part of the news! What the British wizards need most now is confidence. They don't want to know that it was the Dark Lord who killed the Dark Lord!"

In addition, information about Horcruxes must be concealed. As long as you kill someone, you can split your soul and achieve immortality. This is too tempting for a dark wizard.

Although few people know how to make Horcruxes, there are still some records in the collections of some ancient families.

"But now you can freely call him Voldemort!" Ivan suddenly said with a smile.

Hermione and Ron were stunned for a moment, and they immediately realized this. The mysterious man was already dead, so why should they be afraid of him?

"Yeah, Mysterious Man...oh, no, it's not that big of a deal even if it's Voldemort!" Ron hesitated for a while, and then said carelessly.

Harry and others on the side also laughed...

The shadows gathering in everyone's hearts were gradually dispelled by the laughter, but this good mood did not last long, because Hermione quickly took out a pile of books to remind them that it was time to review!

Harry and Ron's expressions suddenly fell. They both looked like they had reviewed it yesterday. Why do I have to review my expression again today...

"How many of the standard casting movements of the Transformation Spell have you memorized? Do you understand the principles of the Transformation Spell? Who suppressed the goblin rebellion..." Hermione asked eloquently.

Harry and Ron were immediately speechless, because they couldn't answer any of Hermione's questions, but they might all appear as test points. In the end, the two could only pick up the book in distress and start flipping through it.

A slight smile appeared on Ivan's lips. If he didn't have to worry about the trouble of Grindelwald, he would quite enjoy such a noisy and leisurely life.

It's just that this trouble may not be solved in a short time. Grindelwald was more cautious than he thought. He didn't make any big moves during this whole week, and there was no news from the Wizards' Federation. good news.

To avoid making the same mistake again, Ivan did not dare to leave Hogwarts casually to search for the other party's whereabouts. Grindelwald, who had the invisibility cloak, was not that easy to find.

Only at this time can Ivan slightly understand Dumbledore's situation back then...
