Chapter 330 Theseus is captured and Dumbledore arrives
"I suppose we are here for a reason?" asked Theseus.
"Maybe next, we need to have a tea party." Newt joked over his shoulder.
Wizards kept raising their wands and launching red fireworks into the sky.
"Kraut, slightly fanatical."
The restlessness of the collective subconscious ocean made Aiden feel a little uncomfortable.
But if the storm cools down at this moment, the violent conflict will lead to even more terrifying prophecies.
Theseus was in front greeting the people from the German Ministry of Magic.
Aiden pulled Lali and Jacob into the blind spot of consciousness.
"They..." Theseus was about to turn around, but there was no one behind him.
Theseus, realizing that something was wrong, immediately tried to make amends.
"Won't it be a disruption to order if they gather here?"
Helmut glanced at Theseus and curled his lips, "Anyway, there is a soundproofing spell inside, so it won't have any effect at all."
"Thank you for your hard work." Theseus put on his hat and walked in.
Inside the hall, the magnificent decorations and the crowd entangled around their own interests seemed a little asymmetrical.
"So what is the purpose of our coming here?" Theseus whispered into Newt's ear.
“Need to get a message to them,” Newt replied.
Theseus followed his gaze and looked into the distance, where a middle-aged man in a black windbreaker walked in.
From the people around who greeted him, we learned that he seemed to be the chief wizard of the International Wizarding Association - Vogel.
Newt pushed his way through the crowd to get to his side before he stepped onto the stage.
"Mr. Vogel!"
Hearing the shout, Vogel turned around and saw Newt smiling.
"Merlin's beard, isn't this Mr. Scamander?" He smiled and dismissed the people around him.
"Mr. Vogel, I have a message from an old friend. It's very urgent."
Newt leaned in close to his ear and continued,
“Do the right thing, even when it’s not easy.”
"He told me it was very important for me to find you tonight and for you to hear this."
And the person behind Vogel also reminded him, "Time's up, sir!"
“Is he here, in Berlin?” Newt asked in a low voice.
"No, of course not."
Vogel glanced at Newt first, a smile curling up at the corner of his mouth.
And Newt's heart sank.
"If the world outside is burning, then why did you leave Hogwarts?"
Hearing this, Newt raised his head and looked at Vogel blankly.
"I thought I'd thank you, Mr. Scamander."
Vogel then ignored Newt's gaze and walked up to the podium.
"Oh, boy, Lali took Jacob away." Aiden sensed something was wrong.
"Why?" Lali didn't react yet.
Vogel on the stage has declared Grindelwald innocent on behalf of the International Confederation of Wizards.
"The German Ministry of Magic has completely sided with Grindelwald. Run."
Aiden waved his wand and several Aurors who had rushed over were knocked unconscious to the ground.
Lali grabs Jacob with the book and leaves.
Theseus wanted to arrest Grindelwald's remnants, but was knocked unconscious and taken away by people from the German Ministry of Magic.
Newt tried to squeeze forward to get Theseus back, but Aiden had already Apparated him away.
When Aiden and his group hid and dealt with the pursuit of Grindelwald's men.
Elsewhere, in Hogsmeade, Dumbledore was having dinner with his brother.
“It’s her favourite dish, as she often craves her mum’s cooking.
After all these years, I finally realized that what she longed for was peace." Dumbledore looked at the food on the tableware and smiled a smile that was not sure whether it was nostalgic or sentimental.
"she....."
"I know, Albus, I grew up with you, and what you see is what I see!" Aberforth interrupted him directly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"It's closed. Can't you read the notice on the wall, idiot!" Aberforth cursed.
But the knock on the door continued. Dumbledore walked over and opened the door. It was Professor McGonagall who came in.
"Good evening, Albus, sorry to interrupt your dinner, but Berlin.
Vogel declared Grindelwald not guilty and confirmed his candidacy. Professor McGonagall was very worried.
Dumbledore and McGonagall chatted, while Aberforth walked to the mirror and wiped off the words on it with a sackcloth.
"I need someone to take my class tomorrow, could you..." Dumbledore asked McGonagall.
"I will, but please Albus!" Professor McGonagall was about to speak, but was interrupted by him.
"I know, I will try my best." Dumbledore responded.
But Professor McGonagall simply pushed open the door of the Hog's Head.
"Good evening, Aberforth." Professor McGonagall was obviously still holding a grudge for being called an idiot.
"Good evening, Minerva, I'm sorry to call you a fool." Aberforth said without turning his head.
"Accept...apology."
Professor McGonagall was very satisfied and asked Dumbledore to close the door.
Inside the house, Dumbledore packed his things, put on his coat and prepared to leave.
"I'm sorry, but our dinner has to end here." Dumbledore walked to the counter.
"Going to save the world again?" Aberforth stared at the mirror in a daze.
"It takes someone better than me to save the world." Dumbledore smiled.
But behind Aberforth, mist appeared on the mirror again.
He glanced back, then turned back, "Don't ask!"
Dumbledore said nothing, but opened the door and stepped into the snow.
Germany, a street corner in Berlin, inside the Ministry of Magic.
Newt, Lali, Aiden and Jacob are inquiring about Theseus' whereabouts at the Ministry of Magic.
"That's the guy who took Theseus away last night!" Newt suddenly saw a familiar face.
Aiden followed his gaze and threw a Mind Deprivation spell at him, stunning Helmut.
The virtual personality dived into Helmut's sea of consciousness, and Aiden got the information he wanted.
Newt and Jacob tried to go up and catch him, but were driven out by the sudden change of the wall.
“Damn, didn’t catch him.” Newt kicked the glass on the corner.
"No, we have already obtained what we need. Theseus is hidden in Extegr Prison."
Aiden sorts through Helmut's memories.
“But didn’t it stop operating a few years ago?” Newt’s eyes widened.
"Newt." Lali interrupted him to continue asking questions.
A pair of black leather gloves waved at them at the corner. They followed the gloves and found Dumbledore behind a stone pillar.
"Albus."
Newt greeted him.
"Have you found out where Theseus is?" Dumbledore touched Aiden's head.
"Want to break in?" Aiden asked.
"No, just let Newt go find Theseus. You go to the banquet of the German Ministry of Magic tonight and enter as Prewett."
Dumbledore patted Aiden on the shoulder and brought him a large bag of coconut ice cream.
"Well, it's a good idea to cast the traceless extension charm on the hat." Aiden gave him a thumbs up.
Dumbledore snapped his fingers and several people began to act separately.
