Chapter 1276 sudden war
Some of McGonagall’s perplexities were answered the next day.
While everyone was eating in the auditorium in the morning, the owl messenger brought the latest as usual.
Many students opened the newspaper and were about to search for news about Voldemort and Dumbledore – then, everyone was stunned when they saw the front page.
“It’s impossible?! How could this happen!”
Professor McGonagall said in shock that the goblet in front of her was knocked over without noticing.
The other professors around also looked at her, but when they saw their own, they all showed the same shocked expressions.
At the same time, there were dense discussions in the auditorium, and an atmosphere of unease quickly spread in the Hogwarts auditorium.
“What’s wrong?” Madam Pomfrey turned her head and looked at Professor McGonagall in confusion.
And Snape also put down his knife and fork, turned his head silently and looked over.
Professor McGonagall spread the newspaper in his hand on the long table and pointed to the disturbing pictures on the front page:
Some are ruins after fierce battles, some are magical battlefields in battle, some are busy and noisy press conferences…
Each photo is decentralised with simple notes on time, place and event.
However, what really caught everyone’s attention were the other three photos in the last corner.
Three…magic photos that are extremely frightening and uncomfortable.
Two corpses, and the scene of a fleeing man falling down after being struck by the Killing Curse.
The first time Professor McGonagall looked at the newspaper, his eyes were drawn to those pictures – the “protagonists” of these three pictures were all the same wizard.
Without exception, it has a pale, skeleton-like snake face, scarlet eyes, and almost invisible nostrils.
The wizard seemed to be suffering, his facial features twisted together with terrifying anger, despair, and pain.
But Professor McGonagall had seen them more cruel and ruthless. To be more precise, almost all elderly wizards would not mistake the wizard’s identity in the newspapers.
—Tom Marvolo Riddle.
There are also small print below the three pictures:
The body of Voldemort 2, found in the Lestrange family mansion, was destroyed by Dumbledore.
The body of Lord Voldemort 3, found in the backyard of the Lestrange family, was destroyed by Grindelwald.
In the backyard of the Lestrange family, Grindelwald killed “Voldemort 3” on the spot.
“Wait? Grid, Grindelwald?! What’s the number behind this fu-mysterious man…”
Madam Pomfrey looked at the photo in confusion, all kinds of questions exploded in her mind, and she didn’t even know what to focus on for a while.
McGonagall took a deep breath and moved the newspaper, motioning Madam Pomfrey to read the headlines at the top of all the photos.
“Dark Demon… Creature?!”
Madam Pomfrey repeated bewilderedly, “How did You-Know-”
“Ok.”
McGonagall nodded solemnly.
“It’s the same guy—look down.”
Auror Command… a bold decision?
Professor McGonagall frowned, she now understood the official reason for Rufus Scrimgeour’s dismissal.
Obviously, without the head of the Auror Command to take the blame, Cornelius Fudge would not be able to continue as Minister now.
For no reason, Professor McGonagall suddenly remembered the classic metaphor of Xenophilius Lovegood above.
Cornelius Fudge… That Reflector has completely corrupted your mind.
She shook her head mixedly and continued to look down.
“Release a Dark Lord to encircle…another Dark Lord?”
Madam Pomfrey said strangely, “Is the International Federation of Wizards crazy? Aren’t they worried…”
“Grindelwald won’t mess up, and it won’t hurt Dumbledore, at least not now.”
Professor McGonagall replied, subconsciously glanced at the direction of the long Hufflepuff table below the auditorium, and said in a meaningful whisper.
“We should trust Professor Dumbledore and the fellows of the Federation. After all, they have the most and most comprehensive information and information, and can naturally make more appropriate and wise decisions than us, and from the results, it is true It worked too, didn’t it?”
“Well, UU reading www.uukanshu.com I looked at the back – I generally understand the Federation and the worries of those wizards…”
At this moment, Snape suddenly interjected, and he looked at the contents of the newspaper indifferently.
“The Dark Lord… I mean Tom Riddle – he’s not really a human wizard anymore.”
“It is written here by the International Confederation of Wizards that Tom Riddle has undergone some kind of terrifying dark transformation, making himself a dark monster that cannot really be killed, if the wizarding world can’t keep killing him, Destroy the dark army under him, and once he fully exerts his terrible magical properties of immortality and immortality, then no one in the entire magical world can live safely.”
“As you saw, Dumbledore and Grindelwald each killed him once, but the Ministry of Magic did not announce the end of the war.”
“This is an endless magical war… and Dumbledore is on the front line of the battlefield.”
