The scene was like falling into an icy lake. Grindelwald greeted him gracefully, Dumbledore had a frosty face, and everyone enveloped in flames felt a chill in their hearts.
Sean's breathing was slightly rapid. It was just a fire in the Aiken family in Paris. Dumbledore would not show such an angry and solemn expression.
Grindelwald must have done something else!
For example, more fires...
Grindelwald withdrew his right hand that was stroking his chest in greeting, and his happy expression never faded.
"Don't be so serious, my old friend, didn't you think about it before you stood here?"
There was anger in Dumbledore's eyes: "That's a human life! Besides human life, the entire wizarding world will be in turmoil!"
"Unrest?" Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, "Do you need to consider this? The biggest unrest is standing in front of you."
"Grindelwald..."
"Don't you call me Gellert? Tsk, tsk," Grindelwald caressed his wand leisurely, "You should have confidence in them. After all, the greatest strength of those families is to survive. Moreover, you know how to use hypnosis How difficult is it to combine the curse with the fire curse? I even have to add a delay spell that ignores distance, and then it can't be exposed. I can only give up part of the power, and I guess I can only burn some people to death. What a pity. , Albus, neither you nor I are strong enough."
Dumbledore's face was as dark as water: "How long have you been studying this spell."
"Don't you understand?" Grindelwald raised his lips, "Of course I have been researching for a long time. Of course, it was just research. I didn't make up my mind to go to those idiots at the time - but they helped me make the decision. It also gave me a chance."
Sean's pupils below him shrank violently, and he knew what Grindelwald was saying.
Last time he was unconscious in the Slytherin common room for nearly a week, Grindelwald went to find trouble for many pure-blood families. Sean originally thought it was the other party venting his anger, but now it seems that he is not just looking for trouble. Trouble, Grindelwald left a backup at that time!
Grindelwald was still talking: "Why be angry, Albus. You and I both thought we trusted each other, but now it seems that we are not unjust and have no right to be angry - ha, didn't I say that? Makes you feel a little less guilty?”
Dumbledore stopped talking, he just raised his wand silently.
Grindelwald smiled even more wantonly: "Come on, come on, my old friend!"
The two of them pointed their wands at each other almost at the same time!
In an instant, the huge fluctuation of magic power made it difficult for Sean to breathe.
The monstrous fire waves collided with the harsh ice, and the original magic flames and rain curtains were suppressed, and the sky was filled with fog.
Splattering ice shards and flying sparks fell on all corners of Père Lachaise Cemetery, and violent explosions continued to appear in the air, with the two figures almost hidden in it.
"Boom!" After a far more violent explosion than before, mist rose up all over the sky, and two old figures stepped back from the white mist.
Are these two old men too perverted? Sean half-crouched down to prevent himself from falling due to the violently shaking ground.
He looked into the air. After Grindelwald and Dumbledore stepped back, they just looked at each other, and then another curse that made people stand on end shot out from the tip of the staff.
Dazzling bright lights and violent explosions continued to appear, and the battle became increasingly fierce.
They will never avoid each other's spells. They will either use spells to block them or use the same means to fight back. Various dazzling spells do not need to be recited or released, and the spells can crack the entire ground.
It's as sparse and ordinary as the lighting spell in Sean's hand.
It seemed that there was no way to win the battle with powerful magic spells. Grindelwald first changed his method. He waved his wand, and the mud block under Dumbledore's feet twisted and shaped, and a huge knight's spear pierced from bottom to top.
And go.
But the knight's spear only started to fall apart halfway, and the falling mud turned into strange insects with sharp mouthparts in mid-air. The sky was filled with the sound of waving wings.
.
The strange insect rushed towards Grindelwald at extremely fast speeds, its pitch-black mouthparts shimmering coldly in the night fire.
Grindelwald laughed wildly. He clenched his wand and punched the air forcefully. A terrifying scene appeared. The insect army that was originally targeting Grindelwald suddenly expanded in a circle, and its dark carapace with metallic luster made a terrifying sound.
There was a squeaking sound, as if there was a huge force inside the insects forcefully twisting their joints.
The strange insect that had grown in size shook its head and pounced on Dumbledore in an even crazier manner.
Dumbledore showed no sign of weakness, and more dirt and stones flew into the air. They turned into giant eagles with hard skin, and then flew towards the insects to tear them apart.
The fallen insect carapaces and stumps returned to their original shapes and then floated and twisted again, and more ferocious and crazy creatures continued to take shape.
In the world today, the two wizards who may have the most powerful transformation skills are constantly waving wands, creatures, weapons, dolls, etc., and all kinds of high-end transformation skills are in their hands like arms.
Not only is it a high-end application of transformation, their skills have returned to their original nature, they do not pursue the magnificence of magic spells, and the transformed things have only two uses: offense and defense.
They can transform into huge stone giants and punch out fists, or they can transform into ordinary stone walls to resist the impact. Every time they cast a spell, every time they wave their wands, it seems...
It seems that he just wants to kill the person on the opposite side and has no other intention!
Sean's breathing became heavier and heavier. He gritted his teeth and stared at the two sides of the duel. There was only powerlessness and confusion in his heart.
He didn't understand at all why things turned out the way they did.
What was Dumbledore's reason for doing this?
He thought about whether he should be born to stop the two of them, but after thinking about it for a while, all he could think of was sadness - the two of them would not listen to his advice at all.
The only person who can advise Grindelwald is Dumbledore, and the only person who can advise Dumbledore is Grindelwald.
But Sean still had a glimmer of hope, because they were only using their own wands.
Without the duel in 1945, the Elder Wand should still be in Grindelwald's hands, but Sean didn't know what happened after that. The Elder Wand might have been transferred to Dumbledore.
But one thing is certain, the Elder Wand is definitely still in the hands of these two people. Now, no one has taken out the Elder Wand, which means that this duel may have a turn for the better.
At least they didn't kill the person opposite.
"Sean!" A voice called in his ear.
Sean turned his head and looked around. Newt, who had been in another corner just now, was moving towards him with the magic flame.
Newt is very powerful and has experience with Grindelwald's methods. After the opponent's energy was mainly focused on Dumbledore, he was able to move quite difficultly in this sea of fire.
I have to do a favor and ask about the situation... Sean's eyes rolled to the side and back, he waved his wand and released the magic flame again, and walked out pretending that his circle of fire could separate a path.
The wizards in the ring of fire opened their eyes in surprise when they saw this scene. They also had many guesses about the specialness of this second-year student. Those who wanted to follow him were forced to follow Grindelwald's magic flame.
Return.
Sean didn't want the guards to hear his conversation with Newt, and he didn't want his immunity to Grindelwald's magic flame to be exposed, so he just kept waving his wand and pretending to move.
The dark blue flame belonging to Grindelwald licked Sean, just like his own magic flame, neither hot nor aggressive, gentle like a ball of wind.
He moved to Newt's side as if he was struggling, and then recited the magic flame blessing spell again, and a small circle of cover enveloped the two of them.
"Phew, thanks a lot, Sean." Newt breathed a sigh of relief and moved his shoulders and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Professor Scamander, are you okay? Why is this happening? I..." Sean asked impatiently, but he kept his mouth shut.
In front of Newt, his first love and sister-in-law, Leta Lestrange, died here that year. He and Grindelwald have always had hatred...
Sean lowered his head in shame. He almost used a questioning tone just now.
Newt glanced at him and sighed deeply: "I've been burned by this fire once, why should I pretend to be with you? How can I still carry this curse if it's not an umbrella? Grindelwald's flames can't hurt him.
You are right."
"yes……"
"Alas..." Newt sighed again, and even uttered a rare curse word, "Shit...fuck you, I've been looking forward to you coming to my class next semester, but you became Green first."
DeVoe’s students.”
"I……"
"Okay, you didn't make a mistake, and you don't know what happened back then. Why do I hate you so much?" Newt showed a gentle smile, and then looked into the air as if sighing.
"Want to ask why I'm standing here?"
Sean didn't speak or nod.
Newt smiled bitterly: "I do hate Grindelwald, and the grudge between me and him will never be resolved. But - what happened back then is a foregone conclusion. Maybe I will take revenge after he steps down as the principal of Grindelwald, but not
Now."
"That?" Sean's tone became serious.
Newt looked at him and nodded: "Dumbledore asked me to do this."
"But why? I don't understand Professor Dumbledore's idea of doing this." Although the fact was right in front of him, Sean still found it difficult to accept it.
"I don't understand either. Dumbledore always has his own ideas. His mind is too smart and he has too many ideas, and I -" Newt looked at Sean, his face was full of wrinkles and spots,
But his eyes were bright and unbelievable, "I always trust him."
Sean let out a long breath, not knowing how to calm down his heart.
Above them, two of the most powerful wizards in the world were fighting fiercely, with spells clashing in the sky, and shape-shifting creatures biting and roaring.
Right above their heads.
Sean felt an unreal feeling, and the magic spells above collided and exploded, like fleeting fireworks.
Newt suddenly sighed: "Child..."
A bad premonition arose in Sean's heart.
Newt stood up straight, his eyes still bright: "I have always trusted Dumbledore."
He took out his wand, and a dazzling spell flew towards Grindelwald!
"Professor!" Sean urged eagerly, "You shouldn't interfere!"
"Let them have a fair duel? No, Sean, I came here to cooperate with Dumbledore in arresting Grindelwald." Newt said while continuously issuing magic spells.
In the sky, Grindelwald instantly summoned a red mirror. The mirror absorbed the spell cast by Newt, but the mirror surface also fluctuated violently.
He looked sideways, showed a provocative smile, and then turned back to concentrate on dealing with Dumbledore, no longer paying attention to Newt's curse.
Newt had no other expression, he just kept sending out spells. The spell hit the red mirror and was absorbed, causing the mirror's fluctuations to become more violent.
"Professor..." Sean was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
If Newt didn't take action and let the two old enemies have a duel, maybe things would turn around afterwards. But the Newt in front of him was no ordinary Auror. Apart from the two terrifying old men, his strength was second to none in the wizarding world today.
The key is what did Grindelwald think? Dumbledore rebelled, and he retaliated. In Sean's view, this was actually a way to even things up, which also meant that in the heart of Grindelwald, an arrogant old man, he still had
There is room for change.
But once Newt joins... Grindelwald and he dislike each other extremely!
Even if Grindelwald really goes crazy, there will be no room for change in the end.
But he can't take action against Newt, right? The other party was a victim of Grindelwald's attack, and he had received a lot of care and guidance from him.
Newt seemed to have read through his thoughts and said softly while casting the spell calmly: "Sean, you are a good boy. If I am always in the magic flame, I won't have the extra strength to cast the spell. You
The ring of fire can protect me, which is the best proof that you trust me. I'm sorry that I took advantage of this."
Sean lowered his head: "No, professor, on the contrary, this proves your trust in me..."
"It feels better to trust each other, but," Newt showed an apologetic smile, "I know you won't remove this fire ring and put me in danger, but I still have to take action, Dumbledore needs my help.
"
"No, Professor." Sean glanced anxiously in the air. The red mirror was becoming increasingly unstable. Grindelwald was completely immersed in the fierce duel with Dumbledore and did not take another look.
"Wouldn't it be better to let them figure it out on their own?"
Newt said nothing and just continued to cast spells.
The already fierce duel became even more intense due to the addition of another force.
The red mirror beside Grindelwald has become blurred. He waved his wand and cast a spell while narrowing his eyes: "Albus, I must say, I am in a terrible mood right now."
Dumbledore struck the air with his wand and said nothing.
Newt still released one spell after another under Sean's anxious gaze.
