Chapter 162: “Great Crisis”

In the dimly lit Hogwarts Auditorium, most of the lights had been extinguished, making the black night sky on the enchanted ceiling stand out.

The two principals sat in silence, continuing their conversation.

So, do you already know? Rosier inquired eagerly. Who is he the phoenix hidden among us his true identity?

Sorry, Vinda, I dont know yet, Grindelwald replied, shaking his head.

However, a confident smile soon graced his face. But I believe he will reveal himself soon.nove(l)bi(n.)com

I will do my best to expose him as soon as possible! Rosier stated resolutely.

Dont worry, Vinda, Grindelwald reassured her. Because they are more anxious than we are, especially at this moment.

But Rosier hesitated for a moment before asking softly, If they really broke into the Headmasters office, then they should have evidence to prove that you actually cant control Hogwarts We are at a disadvantage.

But it doesnt matter, Grindelwald responded calmly. The greater the risk we take, the greater the rewards we will reap. If everything goes according to plan, we may be able to completely eliminate the last opposing force within the next six months. Then, we can realize our dream.

I have been looking forward to this day, the day when wizards will truly rule the world! Rosier exclaimed with excitement. It was a rare sight to see such a happy smile on the face of the typically serious Hogwarts principal.

As her smile faded, she continued, But, I still dont quite understand

She hesitated, unsure whether to voice her thoughts.

Oh? Go on! Grindelwald urged, raising an eyebrow.

After being expelled from Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, I once followed the esteemed Ms. Cassandra Trelawney and learned various prophetic skills, Grindelwald continued. I displayed exceptional talent and became the most outstanding seer in centuries. I was highly regarded.

I always obeyed the call of fate and believed that everything was predetermined. Until one day, I encountered a situation that defied all predictions. Grindelwalds eyes sparkled with memories. That was when I finally realized that only the most foolish wizards let prophecies determine their fate.

Weve all seen your prophecy, Lord Grindelwald, Rosier responded softly. We never questioned its authenticity.

However, the path of this world is not linear. There are always unexpected twists and turns that hinder its progress, Grindelwald explained. So, a prophecy can only ever be a reference. If you completely surrender to it, youll be confined within a certain framework, destined to suffer. The future must be controlled by our own hands, not just for our sake but for the sake of the entire wizarding world. That is our mission.

Are you suggesting Rosier furrowed her brow. That the recent actions of the remaining members of the Order of the Phoenix are due to these unexpected twists?

No doubt, Vinda, Grindelwald nodded. More than a decade ago, their fate was sealed. To change everything, they need some unexpected elements. Thus, their actions now can be seen as their final frenzy.

Exactly, Rosier murmured, nodding in understanding.

This is also the ultimate crisis we are about to face, and its the greatest one yet, Grindelwald said with a serious expression.

Ive sensed it, Lord Grindelwald, Rosier agreed. Everything appears calm, almost unnaturally so The creatures in the Forbidden Forest are restless, and there are rumors of rebellion among the House-elves and the Fairies. All these occurrences within Hogwarts they are calculated!

Thank you for your dedication, Vinda! Grindelwald sighed. In the future, all of this will be in your hands. I may not be able to assist as much.

This is my responsibility, Lord Grindelwald. I will protect everything weve worked for, Rosier declared with solemnity.

She exclaimed, For the greater good!

Yes, for the greater good! Grindelwald replied proudly.
