Chapter 303: “Unexpected Visitor”

A Guards member handed the wand back to Marshall in an undisclosed location near the Guards’ headquarters.

“Ma’am, take a good rest. The leader is dealing with important matters. After that, he will come and talk to you.” The member said.

Marshall’s face on the hospital bed was still pale, but she seemed to have recovered a lot, at least not in that mentally unstable state. Grasping her wand firmly, she nodded silently. The member looked down, and a piece of the bed sheet on the left side was deflated, which was the position of Marshall’s left leg.

The failed Apparation had left her completely disabled, and her left leg had completely disappeared. Perhaps noticing his gaze, Marshall raised her head and smiled.

“I remember you, Clinton was it? In the early days of the Guards, Your father was chasing that Bulgarian wizard. A spell hit him, and he lost a leg like me. Is he all right lately?”

The member’s face darkened for a moment, and forced a smile, “Maybe you haven’t heard of it, but the effect of the dark magic spread for a full month before it was stopped, and he could only lie in bed for the rest of his life.”

Marshall just nodded blankly, “I’m sorry.”

“No, ma’am. I appreciate you allowing me to take my father’s place.”

“You are as worthy of our trust as your father,” Marshall replied.

Clinton pursed his lips, his eyes averted a little.

After a brief silence, he asked slowly, “Ma’am, About Mr. Onassis...”

Marshall slowly raised her head and looked at him, “He died at my hand. To be precise, Grindelwald’s Imperius Curse controlled my hand.”

“But I don’t really understand...” Clinton lowered his head, “We did this just to make the wizarding world more chaotic and let our companions die one by one.”

He took a deep breath and didn’t continue talking.

Marshall’s expression didn’t change, “Do you think it was a mistake to arrest Grindelwald?”

“No...”

“Then do what you should do and remember the goal of our organization.”

He paused and lowered his, “Yes, for a better world.”

“For a Better World.”

After the conversation, he silently walked out the door. When the door of the ward was about to be closed, he turned around hesitantly and said, “Ma’am, if the splinching body parts caused by the Apparition failure can be found within forty-eight hours, you can...”

Marshall remained expressionless, “Do you know where I’m going when I Apparate?”

Clinton had a realization. It should be somewhere Grindelwald was hiding.

However, who can guarantee that there will be no traps when they go there?

He nodded to Marshall, finally closed the door, and went out.

Silence was restored in the ward. Marshall stared at the slumped white sheet on her left leg, lay back down again, and closed her eyes. After Clinton walked out, the hesitation and worry on his face disappeared.

“She looks normal, but my father has been with her for a long time, and she has always been very vigilant. So it is not yet certain whether she has betrayed us to Grindelwald.” He spoke to the air.

As the sun shone, the floating dust in the beam of light shook twice, and a hoarse and light voice came out of nowhere, “What do you think?”

Clinton shook his head, “I don’t understand, but according to my experience, Ms. Marshall’s will has always been firm, and she has no tendency to surrender to the enemy as she doesn’t even need it. After all, Grindelwald is still a fugitive now, and we are an official institution.”

The air was silent for a moment, and finally, the voice said, “Understood. I’ll take care of things later.”

“Understood.”

It was getting late, and Marshall seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep in the ward. Her wand was placed on the side of the bed closest to her right hand.

Strangely, after the sound of the wooden door being pushed, there was no further movement. There was no one at the entrance, and there was no sound of footsteps in the room.

“Who came here?” Sean frowned.

But he did not act rashly, still quietly hiding in the shadows.

There was a crackling sound from the torch above the head, the flames danced, and the light in the room also fluctuated. Time passed by, and suddenly, there was a gust of wind in the Room of Requirements, and all the torches in the room shook.

“This is a problem...” Sean narrowed his eyes slightly, the wand was already firmly grasped in his right hand, and his left hand began to dissipate with black particles gradually spreading out. Dave had already begun to crawl along the cuffs of his robes.

Once anything happens, Sean needs to go all out.

The temperature in the Room of Response also began to drop.

Sean tensed up, but he still didn’t notice the person who was coming, and Dave’s instinct didn’t send an alarm signal. But he is sure that the person already knows that someone is in the Room of Requirement in advance.

It is very likely that they have not found him and are currently searching for him.

The torch above Sean’s head made a sound, the wind in the room suddenly increased, and the shadow Sean was in suddenly trembled. Without any warning, a hand rested on Sean’s tense shoulder.

At that moment, Sean’s hair stood on end. Almost an instinctive reaction, his wand instantly pointed behind him.

“How dare you point my wand at me?”

In the shadows, Grindelwald showed his figure with an arrogant smile.

“Professor!” Sean looked at him in surprise.

“No,” He jumped back vigilantly, “Who are you?”

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows angrily and leaned lazily against the wall, “How many times have I taught you that you should not only pay attention to yourself but also to the surrounding environment when you are invisible with the Disillusionment Charm? When I came in just now, I deliberately left an opening for you, but you didn’t notice it. I should punish you so you might remember your lesson.”

Sean shivered, and now he believed that the person in front of him was Grindelwald.

He smiled and withdrew his wand, “I haven’t said anything yet. You secretly swapped my wand. It cost me seven Galleons just to get a new one, you know.”

Grindelwald sneered, “Do you want me to give you seven times of punishment?”

“Hehe, never mind. Maybe next time.”

After seeing each other, Sean looked at him. Grindelwald was still dressed as before, but his aura was even more evil. It seemed that the Dark Lord’s aura was in full swing.

He smiled and asked, “How did you get into Hogwarts?”

Grindelwald found a velvet chair and lay down comfortably, “Vanishing Cabinet, I saw your ring after I came here. I guess you have something to do, so go out and do my own thing first.”

“Did you go to Professor Dumbledore?” Sean pulled a chair.

Grindelwald raised his eyebrows, “Oh, so you know?”

“About you and Professor Dumbledore’s were just acting? Of course, I found out about it. But why didn’t you tell me?” Sean asked.

Grindelwald’s expression darkened a little.

“You thought we had discussed it in advance?”

Sean shook his head, “It doesn’t feel like it.”

“It’s right that it doesn’t look like it.” Grindelwald raised his legs comfortably and let out a long breath, “A temporary performance, and your principal didn’t tell me why.”

“Is this the tacit understanding of you two?” Sean joked.

Grindelwald snorted coldly, “Bullshit tacit understanding. If I hadn’t felt that his spell couldn’t kill me, then that night, one of your teachers, your principal, would have stepped into the grave first.”
