Chapter 150: 'The Prophecy”

Chapter 150: “The Prophecy”

A middle-aged witch was lying on the ground in the corner of the dungeon. Her eyes were closed tightly, and her face had a strange pearly white color.

Grindelwald squatted on the ground and said, “Look, this seer can live more than two hundred years old. But she may only live half of her life because of this situation.”

Dumbledore squatted, checked it, and said in a deep voice, “When did it happen to her?”

Grindelwald said casually, “This is how I found her. Come on, don’t look at me like this. Well, I admit, I wanted to capture her to make some prophecies, but I also saved her. So it’s a fair trade.”

“There’s nothing credible in your words.”

“But my actions can prove it, Albus. Your information comes from such a wide range of sources. You should be able to know that all the people under my hand who sneaked into the Ministry of Magic have been pulled out.” Grindelwald replied.N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l--B1n.

“And you want to start a war?” Dumbledore didn’t trust him at all.

“No, I’ll change it to something more gentle, like—” Grindelwald said slowly, “A brand new school? I’ve had enough with Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and the others’ way of teaching.”

Dumbledore stood up straight, “Don’t try to create a group of radical disciples.”

Grindelwald smiled, “I heard that Dippet wants you to be the next principal of Hogwarts. Is he old and confused hence he made that decision?”

He poked at Dumbledore’s velvet suit, “My dear friend, your ability to buy people’s hearts is as bad as your taste in dressing. We’ve proven that a long time ago, haven’t we?”

“That was in the past, including your ‘dear friend’.” Dumbledore grabbed his hand and said in a cold voice.

The two quarreled quite a lot when they were young, but Grindelwald’s words are true. When it comes to deceiving people, Dumbledore is really not that good. That’s how Sean sees it.

However, Grindelwald planned to build a new school.

He glanced at the old Dumbledore beside him. He had a look of emotion on his face. He didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Sean felt that he saw a trace of joy in his eyes.

Grindelwald finally stopped smiling. He slowly raised his head, “Albus...”

At this time, everything became blurry. Sean returned to his senses and stood steadily on the office floor. He gulped, then looked at Dumbledore beside him.

Dumbledore was waiting for him to digest all this. He sat back on his chair and looked at Sean quietly.

“Professor, I don’t understand...” With a shivering voice, Sean said, “What is that prophecy talking about?”

Dumbledore said, “Sean, you are a smart boy. I thought you would understand at a glance.”

“I...” Sean didn’t know what to say.

He could understand it, but that was too vague.

“Allow me to explain it to you clearly.”

“Have you always wondered why fewer and fewer wizards use those ancient magics and runes?”

“It’s not because of a new way to cast spells, but they have experienced a generational decline.”

“In Vablatsky’s prophecy, she mentioned the disasters in history. At that time, the ancient wizards were powerful but had no moral values, and they always fought each other tirelessly. During that time, whether that be wizards or Muggles, the whole world is always at war.”

“Maybe because of an unknown ritual, or it’s the will of the world? The disaster called ‘Pride’ was born. At that time, the whole world was shrouded in fear, and the wizards either killed each other or were killed by ‘Pride’. Wizards were treated as some sort of pest or disease.”

“I heard a saying in the Muggle world, and I think it makes sense,” Dumbledore smiled self-deprecatingly, “The only thing that we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history.”

“Now, millennia after that history. The ‘Pride’ has once again been unleashed.”

Dumbledore’s eyes were deep, and he looked at Sean calmly.

“Sean. You are the head of the Seven Deadly Sins. The ‘Pride’ who brought disaster to the world.”
