บท 21: Chapter 21
!
In the prison known to all French magicians, there were two other people in addition to the staff and prisoners.
"It's creepy..." Christian muttered when he saw the creatures that inhabited this dungeon.
"Do you know how these creatures appeared here?"
Christian just shook his head in silence.
"They appeared here during the Plague march. That year, there was a breakthrough of demonic creatures in this very city. At first, the government tried to fight them, but realizing that they could not be completely destroyed, they decided to make a prison out of these labyrinths."
"It's terrible..."
"Not only the French did this. The British made a prison out of Azkaban. I don't think there's any point in telling the story of this place?"
"N-no, the history of Ekrizdis was studied quite painstakingly."
"He was a strong magician; it's just a pity that he was crazy."
Under such conversations, the duo from the Dark Lord and his henchman got to a certain cell. On the other side of the duo, Vinda Rosier was sitting in shackles.
Gellert remembered her not as such, but as a strikingly beautiful young witch, with green eyes, pale skin, short dark hair, and thick eyebrows. An elegant dark green dress and a black coat, black boots, and a hat, restrained manners - all this emphasized her aristocratic origin.
But now in front of him was a woman whose beauty was being destroyed by this place itself every year.
"It's been a long time since we've seen Vinda," Gellert said.
A woman whose hair was no longer as dark as it once was looked around sharply. The moment the woman's gaze met Gellert's, it was clear that the power in Vinda's gaze had not disappeared anywhere.
"Gellert?" in this question, Vinda had a mixture of despair and hope.
"Forgive me, Vinda."
"Why Gellert?"
"I couldn't see it in any of our battles... The victory of our race. And we had to choose the option that would bring the least amount of damage to our entire civilization."
Vinda immediately gave up on these words, as if she had lost some kind of core that kept her in good shape.
"However, recently I was able to see a better outcome for our world. And I'm asking you, will you follow me again?"
With each word spoken, the magic around Gellert thickened.
"Are you ready to fight for our rights again?"
Vinda looked into Gellert's eyes and only nodded briefly.
"I'm glad," Grindelwald said with a smile. "And now it's time for us to leave here. Christian, get the body out."
A young man pulled out the body of a dead woman who was close to Vinda in proportions. The body was also covered with runic script.
"It will be an imitation of you here. We don't want you to be found missing, do we?"
After that, changing the body of the murdered girl with magic, Gellert pulled out his companion.
"And now the final touch." and at the same moment, a lot of monsters around this cell seemed to break loose and flew into all the cells nearby. "I think now they certainly won't be able to detect anything strange."
Meanwhile, very different movements were taking place in Britain. A rather young-looking black-haired and red-eyed man was reading a book.
"My Lord, our informants from Germany and Austria say that everyone is on edge," a rather elderly blond man spoke up.
"Abraxas, have you heard anything about Grindelwald?"
"Unfortunately not, my lord."
Tom Marvolo Riddle, known in certain circles as Lord Voldemort, was not a particularly patient man. And after he created it... His mental state further deteriorated...
"But we'll soon find out exactly where this old man is hiding!" Abraxas spoke rather quickly, apparently already from experience with his master.
"I hope you won't disappoint me, Abraxas."
"Yes, my lord," Lucius Malfoy's father replied in a slightly trembling voice.
Then he left, and another man standing here said:
"My lord, what do you want us to do next?"
"Next? And then we will take advantage of the fact that Grindelwald is free, and slightly increase the number of our operations."
The man who asked about the following actions, upon hearing his Dark Lord's answer, smiled happily, because this meant that the number of raids of their organization would increase.
Hogwarts
After the events with the escape of Grindelwald, we did not see the director often, apparently, he was busy tracking down his old friend. However, it was understandable for anyone because Albus Dumbledore was the one who was able to defeat Gellert Grindelwald.
However, Gellert himself did not openly shine after the escape, at least there was peace and quiet in the news. It is quite possible that the governments did not specify something in order to avoid unrest in society. Since there are still a lot of people who remembered the outrages of Grindelwald, and unnecessary panic is counterproductive.
The first call that something terrible was happening happened closer to April, this month a Muggle-born family was found dead. After reading this news in more detail in both worlds, I was able to find out that the Muggle side of the family had also left this world.
The noise that started after this murder lasted only 3 weeks, that's how long everyone was discussing this story. During this time, there were many assumptions about what really happened to the dead. There were many options ranging from the fact that Gellert personally did it, ending with suicide. But the government eventually let the dogs go towards the werewolves.
Or to be more precise, the gang of Fenrir Greyback, a very evil werewolf whose sadism was well known. I personally couldn't tell if this was true, but the public ate up this version of events pretty quickly.
Apart from that, there was nothing unusual during the spring and summer, and the exam date came pretty soon. The exams themselves felt easier than last year, but this was most likely due to the fact that I was already used to such exams.
"Sirius, what are you planning to do this summer?"
"Well, Reggie and I are going to spend the summer in France. At least that's what Uncle Alfie and Grandpa said. And you?"
"Well, I hope to prepare for the 3rd year."
"The bookworm..."
"What did he say?"
"I'm silent, but what are you planning to do?"
"I was hoping that Mom would teach me new potions." "What?"
"It's nothing," Sirius and I answered at the same time when we heard Severus' question.
"And my family and I also planned to go to France, to the city of Dijon."
A month after I returned from school, I had time to go to Diagon Alley for shopping. In addition to the money I received from Hogwarts, I also kept a small amount of money that I received after the victory.
Most of the money was spent on buying books with various knowledge, for the most part this time I spent more than on the second visit. At least because I bought books on Ancient Runes and Numerology.
At the same time, I also slightly updated my clothes, and after all the purchases I sat down at Florian Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor to familiarize myself at least initially with what I bought. Although most likely the main reason is the fact that I wanted to eat ice cream. And the ice cream at Fortescue's was wonderful in every sense of the word.
I decided to return this time on my own two feet, at least because I was testing my body once again on that infernal machine that is mistakenly called transport... I obviously didn't want to. At least this way I can take a walk.
Apparently, fate had other plans for me because on the way to the shelter they tried to deceive me three times, beat me up, and rob me. However, considering that I had magic and an enhanced body... I've enriched myself by a couple of pounds.
My further path passed through the park, and there something happened that was more stressful than the usual hop. People in black robes with wands at the ready were clearly having fun killing people, completely ordinary people.
"Hahaahah, why are you running away like that?" one of them asked, amused.
At the same moment, an orange ray shot out of the wizard's wand and hit the man's body. After that, the man began to rot from the inside.
"DAD!" The man's son shouted.
But the father could no longer say anything because disgusting pus was coming out of his body mixed with blood.
"What kind of vulgarity? Wouldn't it have been better to use Perdereossa!"
And already a bluish ray flew out of the wand, the target this time was a younger guy who clutched his head in fear. The guy clearly thought that what was happening was nothing more than a dream, but when the spell hit his body... He fully realized that this was reality. After all, his bones began to break unnaturally, as if someone was crushing him from the inside.
"AAAAAAH!"
The guy's screams ended pretty quickly, apparently, he lost consciousness from the pain shock.
"Huh, why did this creature pass out so quickly?"
"Don't worry, there are many more who will be able to please us."
It was only now that I realized that there was a barrier around the area that I had passed... And most likely it notified me of my arrival.
"Where is our last toy hiding?"
After that, the whole park was filled with screams of pain, not seeing the arrival of other people, I can say that they put a spell around this place that averts the eyes of Muggles. There could be
no other option since the park was in London, where the number of people was not that small.
Strengthening my physical characteristics with the help of DE, I began to look around, listen, and try to understand how many opponents there really were around me.
There was one of them on the left, apparently, they decided to look around after splitting up. The one on the left was in my field of vision, meanwhile, there was already another magician on the opposite side of the park. Keeping these two in sight, I moved on to analyze the information on the audio part.
"Mmmmh," sounds of skin hitting each other.
It wasn't hard to figure out what was going on, but I could only hear one breath... And if I'm right, then this man is a necrophiliac.
"Even you damn Muggles can come in handy!" This exultant and excited voice mumbled to himself.
Taking my attention away from this sick individual, I focused on other noises. And I began to hear footsteps, the crunching of leaves and branches. The source of these noises was... Behind me!
After a few minutes of listening and looking around, I was able to say with certainty that there were 4 hostile magicians around me.
"It remains only to figure out how to deal with them..."
The one closest to me and farthest from everyone was the one who was behind me because his partner was busy enjoying the dead man. Therefore, the most convenient target for me is him.
Moving quietly wasn't exactly difficult, especially considering that I had the advantage of knowing the location of the magicians. And because of this, I could safely build the optimal path, because I had already been to this park. For this reason, I had a pretty good map of the area in my head.
I got to the first target after 3 minutes. Because I had to remove him without attracting too much attention, I did not wait long and just created 4 balls the size of tennis balls, shot SE rays.
The first two collided with something, but the remaining two literally cut off the magician's neck, and the headless body collapsed into the clearing. And I felt an increase in my reserves of SE and magic.
"There are 3 left."
Before I went to get the psycho patient, I destroyed the magician's body to avoid, so to speak. Listening again, I heard the sounds of skin hitting each other.
Is he still doing this? To confirm my thoughts about the actions of this magician, I had to go to him, and eventually, I would be able to find out if I was right.
The man, and from the genitals, it could be said that this was a man, was amused by the fact that he was mocking the corpse of a rather elderly woman.
"How disgusting you are..." it came out of me on its own.
"What's the story..." the necrophile wanted to say something, but I already destroyed him with my SE.
"I hope that in the next life you will find salvation." Closing the woman's eyes and dressing her, I already spoke.
After that, he destroyed everything in the area, including two bodies. Meanwhile, the two remaining ones began to approach the same point.
"However, I overdid it with SE."
With each spark and increase in my reserve, my control decreases slightly. It was worth looking for a place to hide nearby... Using transfiguration, it is not so difficult to create a more or less camouflage shelter.
It was not so difficult to wait for the arrival of the remaining two, and after a couple of minutes, I saw two men in robes.
"Did someone manage to get in here?"
"I didn't put up the barrier, so who the hell knows."
The one whose voice sounded more mature just clicked:
"Humanum Revelo."
And a wave started from the man, but I was already ready for this and 6 crimson rays pierced my shelter and went to meet the magicians.
"Whatever..." he didn't have time to be completely surprised, and two more corpses appeared on the ground without the upper half, and I got a boost again.
"Avada Kedavra!" it sounded from behind.
