Chapter 70: Chapter 68 - Invasion of Hogwarts (1)

Austria, Austrian Alps – Nurmengard

 

A man clad in a black robe and hood, also wearing a silver mask, approached another man by the window.

 

"Archbishop," greeted the newcomer respectfully.

 

Unlike the man in black, the Archbishop was dressed in a red robe and wore a golden mask, indicating his high status within the Aurora Society.

 

"Any problems, Father?" asked the Archbishop, without turning his gaze away from the snowy mountains beyond the window. His voice was muffled by the mask, yet it was still possible to discern the masculine tone.

 

"Our lambs are ready to depart, Archbishop," replied the man identified as Father, maintaining a respectful tone.

 

"Very well, today our lord shall bathe in the blood of the wicked!" declared the Archbishop with a calm that barely disguised the excitement hidden behind the icy mask.

 

"Yes, Archbishop," responded the man in black, his voice brimming with excitement and reverence.

 

-Grindelwald descended the stairs and found all his acolytes standing, respectfully awaiting him. They were dressed in black robes adorned with the symbol of the Deathly Hallows embroidered on their chests with pride. There was no need for them to hide their faces; to them, they were heroes not yet recognized by the world.

 

With a satisfied glance over his followers, Grindelwald turned his attention to the army beside the acolytes: hundreds of zealots dressed in black robes and hoods, their identities hidden by black and silver masks, a look reminiscent of the inquisitors of the Middle Ages.

 

At the forefront of the zealots stood a particularly striking man, dressed in red priestly robes and a golden mask. Grindelwald recognized him as a Special Grade Wizard.

 

As for his true identity and the magical signature he was sensing, Grindelwald had no idea. He had never seen the Red Archbishop of the Aurora Society before; it was also possible that this man had managed to deceive his senses with an alchemical item or an Innate Technique.

 

 

Grindelwald then shifted his focus to the third Special Grade Wizard involved in this atack.

 

He was a man of Middle Eastern features, dressed in an elegant black suit and with a meticulously groomed beard. This was Mustafa Al-Husseini, the wizard who had attacked Nottingham the previous day and fought with the young Asterion.

 

Despite the gentle smile that Mustafa displayed, Grindelwald merely scoffed inwardly at that smile. Having known the young Mustafa before, he knew him to be an honorable man, devoutly pious to his God. The man before him, however, was not the true Mustafa Al-Husseini, but rather an ancient monstrous creature using his body.

 

(Note: Mustafa was based on Ishamael from The Wheel of Time; I simply loved the man's performance in the series.)

 

Faced with the situation, Grindelwald remained indifferent towards the man and positioned himself in front of the three groups, displaying a serene expression.

 

"Let us begin," he said simply. In response, his acolytes began rhythmically beating on their chests, creating a melody that sounded serious and sacred.

 

"Yes, My Master!!!"

Without hesitation, Grindelwald Apparated, immediately followed by all his acolytes.

 

"May our lord bless this holy crusade," declared the priest in the red robe to his followers, before Apparating himself, chasing after Grindelwald.

 

The other members of the Society of Dawn responded in unison, their voices filled with excitement and fanatical reverence:

 

"Our lord will bless our holy crusade!!!"

 

Soon after, they all Apparated, following their leader into the glorious battle they anticipated.

 

Left alone in Nurmengard, Herpo merely shrugged and murmured, "The youth today are too hasty."

 

He smiled and Apparated away.

 

Indeed, things were getting very interesting.

 

-

 

Hogwarts.

 

Rose leaned against the window with the Potter family heirloom book in her hands. She was reading, more specifically, about the Domain Expansion section.

 

She didn't find the supreme technique of innate witchcraft difficult—it involved raising barriers around and manifesting the innate technique within the barrier, simple as that. Although it consumed a lot of magical energy for others, this wasn't a problem for her, who could virtually have infinite magical energy.

 

"The only problem is with merging blue and red, it's almost like creating a black hole in space in an instant. The amount of calculations for that is insane, even for me," Rose murmured to herself, turning the page of the book.

 

Merging Blue and Red was something Rose theorized after her studies and calculations. Theoretically, it was possible, but the amount of information she would have to process was insane even for her. The worst part was that she had to perform all these calculations within a millisecond; any longer, and everything would explode in a massive burst.

 

"I guess I know why my ancestors didn't want to innovate; manipulating space is tricky, even with the help of magic that distorts reality, it's quite complicated." She continued to murmur, focusing on the words on the pages.

 

Suddenly, Rose heard Hermione's voice from afar.

 

"Rose! I finally found you!"

 

Looking down the corridor, she saw her friend approaching, holding a book.

 

Reaching Rose in less than a second, Hermione started scolding her friend without any hesitation. "I told you we have History of Magic class, you can't just skip lessons!"

 

Rose just pretended to listen while nodding her head seriously at Hermione.

 

However, a massive tremor caused Hermione to lose her balance and fall into Rose's arms.

 

"What was that? An earthquake?" Getting out of her friend's arms, Hermione grumbled.

 

Suddenly, she noticed Rose's dignified face looking up at the sky through the window.

 

Following her friend's gaze, Hermione approached the window and looked up.

 

Then, her eyes widened in pure horror.

 

Outside Hogwarts, a huge blue barrier covered the entire castle!

 

Above the barrier, three gigantic pillars of light descended from the sky and collided with the barrier. The barrier remained intact without any ripple or even a sign of breaking.

 

"Heretics are really creative." On top of a hill not too far from Hogwarts, the Red Archbishop spoke coldly. Behind him, hundreds of fanatics ready to attack at any moment.

 

"It's impossible to destroy the Hogwarts barrier by attacking from the front." Next to the man, Herpo spoke, looking at the blue barrier with veiled admiration on his face. "Rowena and Helga are two impressive women, both masters in Barrier formations."

 

"What do we do?" Herpo smiled and looked at the Archbishop with a gentle gaze. Grindelwald also looked at the man in red.

 

"We wait for our friend inside Hogwarts." The Archbishop spoke coldly, staring at the enormous blue barrier protecting the majestic castle atop the hill.

Chapter 71: Chapter 69 - Invasion of Hogwarts (2)

Hogwarts.

 

A sudden tremor ran through the corridors of Hogwarts, making the ground shake under the feet of all the students. In the midst of the confusion, the unmistakable voice of Professor McGonagall echoed, firm and clear, throughout the school.

 

"Attention, students," she began, her voice cutting through the air with palpable calm and strength. "Hogwarts is under attack by unknown dark wizards."

 

"All students from the fourth year and above should prepare for any possible emergencies. Be ready to fight at any moment. Students from the first to the third year should immediately head to the safety of their dormitories."

 

"Do not give in to fear. Stay alert and serene. Remember, you are wizards and witches of Hogwarts, trained to face even the darkest shadows."

 

"The Ministry of Magic has been notified, and reinforcements are on their way. We will hold our Hogwarts until they arrive. United, we are invincible."

 

"All teachers must gather in the dining hall."

 

With these words, a determined silence fell over the students. McGonagall's resolve not only instructed but also instilled a resilient courage in the hearts of all present.

 

Rose showed a dignified look, she turned and looked at Hermione. "Mione, go to the dormitory, I'll help."

 

"I'm going with you!" Hermione replied, with veiled determination in her voice.

 

"Hermione!" Rose raised her voice, more incisive, holding Hermione's face between her hands. "This is not a drill. It's real combat, and you could get seriously hurt... or worse."

 

"I won't let you face this alone." Hermione stood firm, defying Rose's insistence.

 

Confronted with those brown eyes filled with ironclad determination, Rose sighed, resigned.

 

"Alright, but once the battle starts, you must keep your distance from me," said Rose, her voice firm and authoritative, making it clear that she would not accept any objections. From the intensity of the magical vibrations beyond the Barrier, she knew she would be facing at least Three Special Grade Wizards!

 

The moment the confrontation unfolded, destruction was inevitable. Rose would never forgive herself if something happened to Hermione because of one of her own attacks.

 

"Yes, I'll run as far away as possible." Recognizing that there were no more arguments in her favor, Hermione agreed, and together, the two ran toward the dining hall.

 

To their surprise, upon arriving, they found they were not the only ones intent on helping. The dining hall already housed a notable group of students from all houses: Slytherin, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and even some from Gryffindor.

 

It seemed that the impulse to fight was shared by many.

 

"I know you are here with good intentions, but many of you are just beginning your studies. You do not have enough experience to face a danger like this," said Professor Flitwick. His voice, usually sweet and calm, now carried a rare severity.

 

At that moment, the doors of the dining hall opened again, causing all eyes to turn towards Rose and Hermione.

 

Indifferent to the curious gazes, Rose walked directly up to Professor McGonagall, her expression as grave as her words.

 

"Professor, outside the Barrier, there are three Special Grade Wizards," she reported urgently.

 

Upon hearing this, a tense silence spread through the dining hall, cutting off any murmur that previously filled the air. The reality of the imminent danger silenced everyone present, leaving a heavy atmosphere of anticipation and fear.

 

Even Minerva and Filius couldn't help but take a deep breath at this information.

 

"Are you certain of this, Lady Potter?" Filius asked, his eyes calm.

 

"Absolutely certain!" Rose replied firmly.

 

Minerva and Filius exchanged glances, each seeing the caution and calm in the other's eyes. Both had been through wars; they were not novices to be panicked by such news.

 

"Change of plans," declared Minerva, authoritatively. "Even if reinforcements arrive, they will not be sufficient to stop three Special Grade Wizards. However, they also will not be able to penetrate Hogwarts, even if they try. The barrier will remain undefeated, even against such adversaries."

 

"And if the barrier is broken?" Hermione, always pragmatic, raised a legitimate concern, the anxiety evident on her face.

 

"There's no need to worry about that, Miss Granger," assured Minerva. "Hogwarts has stood for over a thousand years, largely because of that barrier. Even after a millennium, it represents the pinnacle of defense in the Wizarding World."

 

Turning to Filius, she continued in a grave tone: "Albus is in Israel, and we do not know where Asterion is. I need you at the entrance to the Core, even if it seems impossible that anyone could breach it, but it's never bad to be cautious."

 

Filius nodded and obeyed the orders without question, like a seasoned soldier. Despite his short stature, the students present could not help but look at his retreating back with admiration.

 

-

 

Looking down the dark and gloomy corridor, illuminated only by torches burning with flickering flames, two figures stop and dare not step into the corridor.

 

"Fascinating, the entire corridor is magically enchanted with thousands of magical traps. Even a semi-special grade wizard entering would be killed within minutes," spoke one of the figures, cloaked in a black mantle, his voice raspy and sibilant.

 

It was Voldemort, parasitizing the body of Quirinus, or at least, what was left of it.

 

Voldemort's condition was dire at this moment, half of Quirinus's face was rotting, with decomposing skin and maggots disgustingly moving underneath.

 

Even walking was complicated for Voldemort at this point, the price for using the Innate Technique using another person's body made him pay a bitter price, which even with Unicorn blood, he could only return to his peak for a few minutes.

 

As for Quirinus's consciousness, it had been long dead, Voldemort had killed him and completely occupied his body.

 

Remembering how he had come to this deplorable state, Voldemort's red eyes shone with cold murderous intent.

 

The hatred for Asterion in Voldemort's heart was no worse than his hatred for Dumbledore at this moment. If not for Asterion, his plans would have proceeded smoothly, he would have obtained the Philosopher's Stone and regained his strength; he would not be in this humiliating state.

 

"Master Voldemort."

 

Hearing the old and raspy voice, Voldemort's scarlet eyes fell upon the old man beside him. Voldemort hid well the disgust and intent to kill in his gaze, facing the Hogwarts traitor.

 

"Let us begin, Argus Filch," Voldemort spoke in a cold tone.

 

The flickering torchlight partially illuminated the aged appearance of the Hogwarts caretaker!

Author's Thoughts: I found the identity of the traitor quite obvious. :D
