Chapter 365: Grindelwald

Nick didn't waste the power of Voldemort though after his death as once it had been purified by the arrows attacking it he was left with roughly half of the original mana that dispersed into the realm freely. Thanks to this the ambient mana was now just barely bellow the level it was in Hogwarts. Nick took his time rearming himself with all his protective artifacts as well as his wand and then left the realm ready to fight it out with Nagini and the cloaked figure. However to his great surprise Nagini was already dead and the cloaked figure was not alone in the room.-

A middle aged looking man with short white hair and two different eye colors stood there with a gentle smile as the cloaked figure was kneeling behind him. Nick froze at the sight of this and paled immediately since he recognized the man from old news clippings printed over fifty years ago , Gellert Grindelwald was here. "Calm yourself child , neither I nor my associate mean you any harm." The dark lord spoke softly but with an authority that was hard to ignore. Nick did not relax however but was readying every defensive artifact he had on him.-

"So you can't see within that place then." Nick said understanding the clues he was being given. "That place is a world onto itself and so it's fate is separate to this worlds and thus outside of my sight. Besides it is not as though I always see the future with this eye , merely that it grants me the occasional glimpse of what will come or what may come. It is why I left my confinement in Nurmengard you know. I saw the future that you may bring about and wished to aid you in this regard." Grindelwald explained warmly.-

"My only dream for as long as I can remember was to see wizard kind set free from this self imposed prison we have created and to truly influence the world. Sadly the methods I chose previously would have failed even if I won that duel , a fact I learned only a year after the event. The terms of my incarceration were quite iron clad in that I was not allowed to leave if I held any thoughts on ruling when the dust settles. But why would I lead wizards forward when a far better option already existed?"-

"You asked me why I revealed myself to you now earlier. The answer is because my work in Europe has finished and so it is time I leave this place until the rest is finished. Before I left however I wished to speak with you without any disguises. It is at this point however that I will bid you ado for now as Albus shall be arriving momentarily." Grindelwald said before he and the cloaked figure vanished with a loud "POP!". Just as the man said Dumbledore appeared in a blaze of fire with Fawkes while his wand was at the ready.
