Chapter 98: “Farewell Professor Trocar”

Wingardium Leviosa! Matthew, frantically brandishing his wand, cried out mid-air.

He wasnt sure if the spell had worked, but he immediately felt lightheaded and lost consciousness.

When Matthew finally opened his eyes, he found himself face-to-face with an old, handsome, and familiar visage.

Professor Grindelwald Matthew uttered weakly.

A surge of red light emitted from Professor Grindelwalds Elder Wand tip and flowed into Matthews body, instantly restoring his strength.

A perfectly timed levitation spell, Mr. Wickfield! Professor Grindelwald put away his wand, offering his assessment.

Although there was a slight mishap in the executionif you aim your wand directly at the ground, theres a high chance of escaping unscathed

Overall, it was well done, Professor Grindelwald continued.

Falling from such a height would have landed you in the school infirmary for at least a week Considering that Poppy is also injured, you might have missed two to three weeks of classes. Professor Grindelwald chuckled as he finished the sentence.

Matthew humbly nodded, having just witnessed the true power of Gellert Grindelwald.

He was now as meek as a lamb, bowing his head while surreptitiously glancing around.

The once massive spherical water prison on the surface of the Black Lake had vanished.

The five statues, except for the griffin head beast, had departed.

The pieces falling from the castle during the battle were now back in their original positions.

Everything had been restored to its former state.

Professor Grindelwald, is the Witch is she dead? Matthew mustered the courage to ask in a hushed tone.

Death is not a cruel punishment, Mr. Wickfield, Professor Grindelwald smiled. But I can assure you she will never pose a threat to Hogwarts or you

Matthew nodded faintly, absorbing the principals words.

Im sorry you had to endure such grievance during this time You were unjustly burdened with nonexistent crimes Im truly sorry, my friend As he looked towards Professor Trocar with sorrow.

No! No! No! The Vampire shook his head vigorously. I have long grown accustomed to it, Master Grindelwald It is an honor to serve you To have you personally come to my rescue tonight is the ultimate honor

Had he been capable of shedding tears, the Vampire would surely have wept.

Edward! Professor Grindelwald spoke softly. You should also thank Wickfield. If not for his arrival Im afraid I would have had to watch you enter Azkaban and suffer a never-ending nightmare

Truly, Matthew! Professor Trocar turned around, his gaze fixed on Matthew with a surprised expression. Thank you so much It seems the time you spent with me at Hogwarts was not in vain.

What do you mean, Professor? Are you suggesting Professor Trocars name wont be cleared? Matthews brow furrowed, and innocently whispered, Professor Trocar is innocent. He didnt harm anyone

The Vampires gaze shifted to Matthew, a smile suddenly gracing his face as he shook his head.

You dont understand, Matthew The wizarding world harbors deep prejudices against Vampires like us. Moreover, I did drink Mr. Weasleys and Mr. Finleys blood, and I did attack Madam Pomfrey

The former Transfiguration teacher let out a sigh. I fear Master Grindelwald has eliminated the witch, and her curse will dissipate. When Mr. Weasley and Mr. Finch-Fletchley wake up, they will quickly press charges against me.

Such irrefutable accusations, should Master Grindelwald decide to intervene, would cause him significant trouble Dont worry about me. I have grown accustomed to such circumstances. Professor Trocar said with a bitter smile looking at Matthew.

Professor Trocar Matthew Wickfield fell silent.

He spoke with utmost sincerity, his expression serious: You are an exceptional Transfiguration Professor!

The feeling is mutual, Matthew. You are an outstanding student! Professor Trocar smiled.

In five minutes, the Aurors will arrive! Professor Grindelwald rechecked his watch.

Thank you for allowing me to teach, Master Grindelwald The Vampire cast a final glance at the Hogwarts Headmaster.

You will have more opportunities in the future, Edward! Grindelwald bid Trocar one last farewell, embracing him tightly. Good luck!

Good luck to you too, Master Grindelwald and to you, little Matthew!

Edward Trocar, the Vampire, stepped onto the Griffin head statue outside the window, soon disappearing from sight.
