Chapter 333 The War That Continues

The aftermath of the war is still unfolding.

As the cold winter winds swept across every corner of the world, in addition to the major powers, the residents of ordinary settlements gradually learned about the outcome of the Battle of Hogwarts.

They were astonished by the perilous nature of the battle: the siege of the werewolf royal court and the Green Flame Party, the onslaught of the Forbidden Forest beast tide, and the surprise attacks of the ferocious water monsters, the chilling biphasic creatures, and the unexpected Muggle army.

The students' combined spellcasting, as dazzling as rain, the professors' and reviewers' amazing incantations, the valiant swarms of spiders and magical creatures, the students' parents and the Irish Green Eagles who came to their aid, the terrifying black ship Nagilfa, and the potion master who turned the tide of the battle!

Of course, the most breathtaking part was the battle of magic between the aerial wizards, and the nuclear bomb that was detonated over the castle but achieved nothing.

This time, the Diviner's Daily didn't dare to write anything carelessly. They interviewed many parents who were returning home, as well as teachers and students at the school, and spent a lot of money to buy their memory fragments. By piecing them together, they almost recreated the entire course of the war.

The special issue, published daily, took seven days to fully and clearly present the entire course of the great battle from beginning to end. Even with such a thrilling war, it couldn't suppress their discussions about the two major events: Dumbledore's death and Voldemort's demise.

Because the nobles were in the wrong, the journalists dared not criticize Dumbledore further when writing their articles, filling them with nothing but praise.

"This great white wizard, with his broken body ravaged by darkness, held fast to the last pure magic school on the European continent, placing the wizarding tradition above his own life."

"Fifty years—how many fifty-year periods does a person have in their lifetime? That's almost twice the average lifespan of Muggles!"

"In life, he was the strongest line of defense against the Dark Lord, protecting democracy and peace; in death, he continues to serve with utmost dedication."

In the spirit of heroes, let us build a solid fortress for our children.

"He is the guide who holds the torch high in the darkness, the only elder who is willing to share the fire in the cold winter of the end times, and the only one who remains to watch over us in the midnight after we have traveled through the dawn, the conscience of the wizard."

On the other hand, Voldemort, because only a few people knew that he was not completely dead, the reporters of the Daily News had already begun to fabricate all sorts of stories to beat him up. From Tom wetting the bed as a child to going into the girls' restroom during his school days, to using his looks to seduce lonely old women when he grew up, all sorts of scandalous news emerged one after another.

Of course, this also involves Barty Jr., his identity swap with Snape, his infiltration of the school and subsequent exposure, and many other plot points. After obtaining the unlocked memories of the Hogwarts professors, these events have become the prototypes for the most popular spy novels.

The Malfoy Castle Council quickly distanced itself from the Crouch family, confiscated their assets, and announced a major investigation into the nobles. However, their reputation was now very bad. From initially smearing and disapproving of Hogwarts, to later sending the Pied Piper to secretly obstruct them, it has now been revealed that the former head of the Department of Law Enforcement was actually Voldemort's loyal dog!

A large group of parents who had lost their children years ago held a massive demonstration, blocking the entrance to the council chamber.

The nobles must give us an explanation.

In short, this once largest wizarding city in the world is now beset by internal and external troubles and has no spare time to focus on the construction of the new Hogsmeade.

Besides this already concluded great war that is still talked about, in the east of the continent, there is another war that has not yet ended.

It also firmly attracted everyone's attention.

Because the Soviet Union transferred a large number of troops to England through the Fairy Cave, their defenses were left with many loopholes.

Grindelwald only sent Durmstrang's Black Ships to provide assistance because the main force had already gone to launch a surprise attack on Soviet territory.

The large-scale, organized air cavalry, the Fiendish Witch Army infiltrating in small squads, and the tactics of bombing, poisoning, assassination, mind control, and large-scale joint transformation of the Witches—all these tactics became quite deadly when the Muggle army could not block all the defenses with artillery fire.

Once a portal key is successfully placed at the rear, it means that the entire wizarding army will be able to break through and enter.

The fairies were simply not numerous enough to conduct a full inspection and infiltration, which led to war breaking out across the entire Siberian land, except for the paradise city of Chelome.

All production was disrupted. Under Grindelwald's specific instructions, these highly trained and militarized wizard soldiers, each like a special forces elite, were able to independently conduct reconnaissance and investigation of military facilities.

Compound potions, Imperishable Curses, Legilimency, and Animagus—they used various methods to infiltrate military factories or ammunition depots to carry out sabotage and explosions.

They used polymorph and summoning spells to conjure fearless birds to attack their airports and sophisticated electronic equipment.

These dark wizards would even go so far as to bewitch Muggle poor people on a large scale, inducing them to storm the granaries. After they were killed by machine gun fire, they would use dark magic to revive them and turn them into genitalia to continue the attack.

Winter has descended upon vast Siberia, from the western plains to the central plateau and the eastern mountains. The goddess of winter intends to freeze all this wretched land, but humanity has warmed the earth anew with its burning blood.

The fires bloomed like black flowers in the settlement, while the Soviet Union was overwhelmed and unable to keep up with the situation.

On the one hand, the complete failure of the raid on Hogwarts resulted in the loss of a large number of troops, which caused instability among the soldiers and lower-ranking soldiers to begin to doubt the motives of their superiors.

On the other hand, Hilmi's feat of catching the nuclear bomb left these Muggle leaders bewildered. Had the wizards already mastered a way to counter nuclear bombs? If even the weaker Hogwarts could do it, could the Wizarding Party do the same?

If a nuclear bomb were dropped on New Paris, would Grindelwald pack it up and send it intact to Cerro Meyers?

These hesitations and divisions in top-level decision-making made it difficult for the Soviet Union to respond quickly and effectively. The returning troops could only follow behind the scattered Flying Fire Army, getting nothing but firefighting efforts and failing to catch even a single magical mouse.

As the war progressed, large swathes of land began to fall into the territory of the UMNO, the population was incorporated into the government, and machinery was destroyed. If any unlucky demons were captured, they would face unimaginable torture.

"Perhaps the time for a wizarding revival has truly come? Hogwarts and the Wizarding Party, Dumbledore and Grindelwald—these two powerful figures who transcended eras, even though they are separated by life and death, still joined hands fifty years later to reignite the wave of magical revival!"

Regarding Dumbledore's death, after Durmstrang's Black Ships returned, everyone originally guessed that the Dark Lord would have some huge reaction, but unexpectedly, he calmly said "I know" without any reaction.

Following that, he sent someone to deliver a bottle of magical potion to Dumbledore.

As everyone knows, dead people can't take medicine, so Grindelwald's implication was simply that he already knew.
