At this time, Rozier, Abernathy and others had also gathered around, with sad faces. Rozier was crying bitterly and could hardly control himself.
Wentworth held Gellert Grindelwald in his arms and headed towards the Rat Tower immediately.
Things happened so fast that until this moment, Wentworth still couldn't believe that his grandfather, the most powerful dark wizard in history, died just like that?
What surprised Wentworth was that Albus Dumbledore, apart from the initial exclamation, had no reaction after that! You know, Wentworth could clearly feel the unusual relationship between his grandfather and Dumbledore, so Dumbledore's reaction was really a bit too abnormal.
Seeing Wentworth taking Gellert Grindelwald away, the wizards of the Witch Party, although with sadness on their faces, did not try to stop them. After all, as the last member of the Grindelwald family, this was what Wentworth should do.
However, all the wizards of the Witch Party gathered around and stood quietly on both sides of the road, watching Wentworth, holding Gellert Grindelwald, walk into the Rat Tower.
Standing in front of the Rat Tower, Wentworth looked back and said to everyone, "Clean up the battlefield, I'll be back later!"
After entering the Mouse Tower, Albus Dumbledore was already waiting for Wentworth. Seeing Wentworth walk in with Gellert Grindelwald in his arms, Albus Dumbledore said expressionlessly:
"Why did you bring him to me?"
Wentworth looked at Dumbledore quietly without answering, while Dumbledore also looked at Wentworth quietly. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
After a long while, Dumbledore raised his lips slightly and said, "Old man, how long are you going to pretend?"
As soon as Dumbledore finished speaking, Gellert Grindelwald, who was held in Wentworth's arms, sighed and said faintly: "This is just his guess. If you insist on it, he might believe it!"
Sure enough, Gellert Grindelwald in Wentworth's arms slowly opened his eyes. Seeing this, Wentworth breathed a sigh of relief, while Dumbledore on the opposite side spread his hands and said with a smile:
"I say, I don't want to take the blame for you. It's better for you to handle the affairs of the Grindelwald family yourselves!"
Seeing this, Wentworth couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"Grandfather, Principal, what on earth do you two mean by this?"
Hearing Wentworth's question, Gellert Grindelwald and Albus Dumbledore looked at each other. Finally, Gellert Grindelwald coughed and said, "Wentworth, this is what Albus and I have already discussed! Gellert Grindelwald must die. Only when I die can you truly control the Witch Party!"
Albus Dumbledore also echoed:
"That's right, Wentworth. The world is ours and yours, but in the final analysis, it should still be yours. From now on, you can only rely on yourself!"
After hearing what the two said, Wentworth showed a trace of confusion on his face, and said with some difficulty: "But, Grandfather, Principal, do we have to use this method?"
Gellert Grindelwald patted Wentworth's shoulder slowly and said with a smile:
"Wentworth, as long as I am alive, you will always be just the so-called heir! In Nurmengard, I have been thinking for a long time, and it is time to hand over the Witch Party to you. The Witch Party needs a younger and stronger leader! All of this is for the greater good!"
Afterwards, the three of them conspired for a long time in the Rat Tower. When Wentworth came out of the Rat Tower with a sad face, Luna, Cassandra and others were already waiting in front of the door, while Rosier and Abernathy led the Witch Party and stood in front of the Rat Tower in an orderly manner.
Seeing Wentworth coming out, Cassandra came forward immediately with something in her hand.
Wentworth took the things from Cassandra and found that they were a photo and a letter. In the photo, a man and a woman were standing in front of a statue, smiling.
The most important thing is that Wentworth knew both of the men in the photo. The wizard was none other than Bruce Fontana, with whom he had fought before. Bruce Fontana ultimately failed to escape Gellert Grindelwald's final attack and died in a foreign country.
Looking at the photo in his hand, countless thoughts flashed through Wentworth's mind. Then, Wentworth opened the letter again. After reading it, a sneer appeared on the corner of Wentworth's mouth, and he said coldly: "Christine?! What a trick!"
Then, Wentworth put away the photos and letters in his hands and looked forward. At this time, Rosier and Abernathy, leading the Witch Party, stood in front with solemn faces, quietly waiting for Wentworth.
A day later, Albus Dumbledore, as President of the International Confederation of Wizards, issued a statement, first accusing the goblins of breaking their contracts, and then announcing that the war between wizards and goblins had begun again.
Just when the wizarding world was in shock, that afternoon, the Wizarding Party simultaneously raided all Gringotts in Europe, catching the goblins off guard. In addition, many elite goblins were buried under the Rat Tower on the Rhine. The war started quickly and ended quickly.
As for the Ministries of Magic of European countries, because of the statement of the International Confederation of Wizards, they could only watch as the Wizarding Party, in just one day, seized the wealth accumulated by the goblins for countless years and took it into the hands of the Wizarding Party.
Three days later, news came from the other side of the ocean. News came from the Magical Congress of the United States of America that a new Speaker of the Magical Congress of the United States of America had taken office. The new Speaker was named Christine Graves.
A few days later, at the inauguration ceremony of the new Speaker of the Magical Congress of the United States of America, just as Christine Graves was delivering her inaugural speech, a huge firework suddenly lit up in the sky and turned into a symbol of the Deathly Hallows.
Afterwards, a wizard from the Witch Party walked up to the stage and presented the Witch Party's declaration of war.
A few days later, before the opening dinner of the new term at Hogwarts, Snape was having a heated argument with Dumbledore.
Snape said excitedly:
"Principal Dumbledore, I really can't understand why a wizard whose name I have never heard of can replace me and become the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?!"
Dumbledore said with a smile:
"Oh, Severus, actually, you have met that man!"
Snape sneered and said:
"Dumbledore, I am not old and confused yet. I am very confident that I have never heard of that name. How could it be possible that..."
At this moment, Dumbledore pointed behind Snape and said with a smile:
"Look, here he comes!"
Snape looked back unhappily, his eyes widened immediately, and he said in disbelief: "Principal...Principal...are you kidding? Are you really sure that you want him to be the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts?"
Dumbledore still smiled and said, "Of course, Severus, who else in the current wizarding world knows more about dark magic than him?"
Snape was speechless.
At the same time, Wentworth stood in front of the gate of Nurmengard, with the slogan "For the Greater Good" engraved on it above his head. In front of Wentworth, all the wizards of the Witch Party gathered here, with wands standing in rows.
Seeing this, Wentworth was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Family members of the Witch Party, your leader, Gellert Grindelwald, has fallen. I am Wentworth Grindelwald, the new leader of the Witch Party. I will lead you to America to fight a new holy war! For the greater good!"
