Hearing Ilona's words, Cedric was stunned at first, and then he reacted. He instantly felt a chill penetrate his whole body, and his body became stiff.

But at this time, Cedric didn't dare to make any move and could only follow behind Ilona like a puppet.

However, as he was about to leave Hogwarts, Cedric was in a state of struggle! The professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts was actually a witch! He had to tell the school this news, even at any cost.

Just when Cedric was about to risk his life and use the amplification spell to loudly announce the news, Ilona said again: "Wentworth is the new leader of our Witch Party!"

Hearing Ilona's words, Cedric was completely stunned. At this time, the two of them just walked out of the area of ​​​​Hogwarts.

Seeing this, Ilona leaned over to Cedric's ear and whispered, "Now, I will give you two choices. The first is to join the Witch Party. Not only will I take you to London and rescue your father, I will also stop this war and save more people! The second is that I will kill you now and say afterwards that you died in the chaos."

"You make your own choice!"

After saying that, Ilona stood up and looked at the young man in front of her.

At this moment, Cedric was in a state of confusion! If Ilona was just threatening him with her life, then he would just risk his life to fight back.

But now, Ilona threatened him with the lives of his father and countless wizards in London, and Cedric's young heart was a little confused for a moment.

However, contrary to Ilona's expectations, Cedric did not think for a long time. He raised his head, also looking at Ilona, ​​and said slowly: "I choose to join the Witch Party!"

However, before Ilona could smile, Cedric continued:

"But I won't follow you to do evil! The worst that can happen is Avada Kedavra and Cruciatus!"

The boy's young voice was full of courage.

Ilona looked at Cedric in front of her, but she didn't think so at all. Instead, she nodded with satisfaction and said, "You are indeed someone that the young master values, and he gave it to you. Take it!"

Cedric asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

And Ilona pointed at Cedric's chest and said, "The pendant that Wentworth gave you! If you want to put an end to this war, your hope lies in it."

Hearing Ilona's words, Cedric hesitated for a moment, but still handed the pendant to Ilona.

Ilona looked at the pendant in front of her, a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes, and she murmured:

"Cedric, we in the Witch Party are not evil wizards. We are completely different from the Death Eaters! Sometimes we may use more radical means to do things, but it is all for the greater good! You will understand later."

Cedric naturally wouldn't believe Ilona's one-sided words. Seeing that Ilona was so obsessed with the pendant given to her by Wentworth, Cedric couldn't help but ask curiously: "Is there anything special about this pendant?"

After hearing Cedric's question, Ilona seemed to react. She put away the pendant and replied:

"The earliest members of the Witch Party were followers of Gellert Grindelwald. As their numbers expanded rapidly, they formed the Witch Party. Although I have some status in the Witch Party, I cannot command those unruly wizards."

At this point, Ilona paused, and then continued, "But this pendant is fine, because it is the symbol of Grindelwald!"

After saying that, Ilona took Cedric's hand and they quickly disappeared outside Hogwarts.

On the other side, as the negotiations between Abernathy and Rufus Scrimgeour broke down, the two men returned to their own camps.

"Be prepared for a fight. As I said before, we will not use the Unforgivable Curse first. However, if the opponent uses the Unforgivable Curse, I allow you to use the Unforgivable Curse to fight back!"

Hearing Rufus Scrimgeour's words, many people swallowed subconsciously.

At this moment, someone finally couldn't stand the pressure before the war and said with fear on his face:

"Boss, they just want those wizards! Why don't you just give them to them quietly? Do you want to sacrifice the lives of so many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic for those dark wizards..."

But before the wizard could finish his words, Rufus Scrimgeour waved his wand and the wizard fell straight down.

Rufus Scrimgeour's eyes slowly swept across the room and he said coldly:

"From today on, this person is no longer an Auror of the British Ministry of Magic! I say! Before the war, anyone who makes false statements to disrupt the morale of the army will be imprisoned in Azkaban afterwards!"

After hearing what Rufus Scrimgeour said, all the Aurors present gave up the last bit of hope in their hearts and prepared for battle.

On the other side, when Abernathy walked back to the Witch Party camp, he suddenly smiled disdainfully:

"Auror? What a nostalgic position!"

At this moment, Carlo came up and said excitedly:

"Abernathy, are we ready to start? I can't wait!"

Abernethy nodded slowly, but just as Carlo was about to lead the charge with his wand in hand, he was grabbed by Abernethy.

Under Carlo's puzzled gaze, Abernathy looked at the Witch Party members behind him and said righteously:

"You can use any spell you want. The goal is to make all the Aurors on the opposite side lie on the ground! However, you are not allowed to use the Unforgivable Curse!"

As soon as Abernathy finished speaking, Carlo suddenly stopped working and said in a frenzy:

"Why?! Those rookies on the other side will collapse in no time if a few Avada Kedavra are thrown at them!"

But Abernathy looked at Carlo coldly, and then continued:

"We don't use the Unforgivable Curses. As an Auror, the other party cannot use the Unforgivable Curses first. If we rely on ordinary spells to fight, he will still not be our opponent."

"But……"

Carlo wanted to say something else, but Abernathy held his shoulder and said in a slightly suppressed voice:

"We need to leave more seeds of the Witch Party for our young master! Do you understand?! Ah!"

After hearing what Abernathy said, Carlo fell silent for a moment. He turned his head and looked at the crowd behind him. Many wizards were holding wands and had firm eyes, but they already had white hair, which made Carlo feel sad.

Then, Carlo raised his wand and shouted, "For the greater good!"

He rushed towards the Auror opposite without hesitation.
