Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord.

Chapter 149 The Magical Congress of the United States

"Damn it! We have to get out of here!"

Seeing the wizards from the Sorcery Party constantly emerging from behind Rozier, Christine had no intention of surrendering. Instead, she immediately raised her wand and took the lead in casting the first spell.

As Rozier waved his hand to dispel Christine's spell, the wizards behind them showed no mercy, sending countless spells of all kinds flying towards each other.

However, compared to the sorcerers behind Rozier, the wizards behind Christine were clearly much weaker, and even their numbers were not as high.

Just as the two sides were in a brief stalemate, suddenly, accompanied by a scream from behind, Christine turned around and saw "Cedric" knocking one of his wizards to the ground.

Seeing Christine looking over, "Cedric" smirked slightly, and then gradually changed his appearance in front of Christine, revealing himself to be Abernathy.

"A very clever little girl, it's a pity she chose the wrong side!"

Abernathy looked Christine up and down and said with a regretful expression.

"Abernathy, you weren't always this talkative!"

Meanwhile, "Green" beside Abernathy gradually changed his appearance and became Caro.

Carlo looked around at the hall filled with flying spells and said excitedly:

"Hey! Let's have some fun! Let's see who's unlucky!"

As he spoke, Carlo raised his wand. Previously, Carlo and Abernathy had been surrounded by Christine and the others, but now, with the arrival of Rozier and the others, the wizards who had been surrounding them were now facing away from them.

At this moment, only Christine noticed the change behind her, but before she could issue a warning, she saw Carlo's wand light up brightly.

"They've all turned to stone!"

"He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!"

Avada Kedavra!

With a flash of green light, a wizard not far from Christine immediately turned pale and fell straight down.

"Wow! Looks like your luck isn't so good!"

Carlo looked in the direction where the wizard had fallen and said in an exaggerated tone.

As Christine watched the number of wizards around her dwindle, she grew anxious. After glancing around, she finally focused her attention on Carlo and Abernathy behind her.

"Let's work together and take down these two!"

Christine's plan was simple: take Carlo and Abernathy hostage to threaten the UMNO party into letting her and the others leave! Although Christine knew that the chances of the UMNO party compromising were slim, she could only try her best in the current situation.

As Christine finished speaking, the wizards closest to her immediately turned their attention to Carol and Abernathy.

"She's panicking! She's panicking!"

Seeing that Christine and the others were looking at him, Carlo was not afraid at all; on the contrary, his excitement deepened.

Fortunately, Abernetsi remained calm. He grabbed Carlo's arm and said:

"Alright, that's enough fun, it's time to go. If they catch us, we'll be causing trouble for our little master!"

As he spoke, Abernathy reached for the door key disguised as a button. After a twist, the two figures disappeared from the spot.

Unable to stop them, Christine could only watch helplessly as Carlo and Abernathy escaped from her side, driving her to the brink of madness.

What infuriated Christine even more was that Wentworth's voice came again at that moment:

"Christine Graves? If I remember correctly, that's the name, right? What, aren't you going to surrender yet? You have no hope of turning the tables!"

Christine looked in the direction the sound came from and saw Wentworth slowly walking back, surrounded by a group of sorcerers.

Seeing Wentworth's confident demeanor, Christine was seething with anger, but she had to admit that Wentworth was right.

So Christine said loudly to Wentworth:

"Wentworth Grindelwald, if we surrender, will you spare our lives?"

To Christine's despair, Wentworth slowly shook his head.

Just as Christine was about to fight to the death, Wentworth spoke up again:

"It's impossible for us to spare your lives! But I can promise you, we'll only pursue the ringleaders!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's answer, Christine suddenly laughed, and then said:

"Your answer makes me more convinced that you're not lying to us!"

After saying this, Christine turned to the wizard beside her and said:

"We've lost. Everyone, put down your wands. I hope you all get home safely!"

Then, Christine threw her wand at Wentworth's feet and said:

“Wentworth Grindelwald! I orchestrated all of this! They were merely following my orders! Let them go, and I'll stay and do with them as you see fit!”

Seeing this, Wentworth looked helpless and asked with a puzzled expression:

"Beautiful lady, could you please tell me why? What grudge do we have against each other?"

Wentworth had only asked casually, but to everyone's surprise, Christine actually answered:

"A blood feud!"

Wentworth: ? ? ?

Just as Wentworth looked on with a puzzled expression, Christine continued:

"You want to know where we come from? I'll tell you now!"

Before Christine could speak, a voice rang out from behind Wentworth, saying:

"The Magical Congress of the United States!"

Wentworth turned around and saw Abernathy rushing over.

Abernathy stepped forward, looked Christine up and down, and said:

"Who is Percival Graves to you?"

Christine seemed surprised that her identity had been exposed so quickly, and stood there stunned for a moment before reacting and hurriedly saying:

That was my grandfather.

Wentworth, looking curious, approached Abernathy and asked:

"Who is this Percival Graves?"

Abernathy replied with a look of reminiscence:

"When I was an Auror at the Magical Congress of the United States, Percival Graves was already the Director of Magical Security and the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement!"

Upon hearing Abernathy's answer, Wentworth exclaimed dramatically:

"A big shot!"

But Abernathy went on to say:

"Most importantly, he was once a member of our UMNO party!"

"This is impossible!"

Christine roared in horror.

Chapter 150 Stories of the Past

Wentworth glanced at Christine, whose face was filled with shock, then looked at Abernathy and asked with great curiosity:

"Looks like there's more to this than meets the eye!"

Abernathy nodded slowly, then looked at Christine and said:

"I already said it, you're a clever girl, but unfortunately you've chosen the wrong side! Do you think I was just saying that offhand?"

Christine involuntarily took a few steps back, muttering blankly:

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

Seeing this, Abernathy sighed and then began to speak:

"Back then, when Lord Grindelwald went to New York, your grandfather hadn't yet joined the Mughal Party. He discovered Lord Grindelwald's whereabouts and tried to capture him, but unfortunately, he failed!"

"Although Lord Grindelwald defeated him, he did not punish him. Instead, he greatly admired your grandfather. After talking with Lord Grindelwald for several days, your grandfather was also impressed by Lord Grindelwald and thus joined the Witches."

Upon hearing Abernathy's account, Christine suddenly shouted:

"I don't believe it! You must have made this up, you must be lying to me!"

In response to Christine's questioning, Abernathy countered with a question:

"Now that you've joined the Magical Congress of the United States, don't you know that Lord Grindelwald infiltrated the Magical Congress of the United States for several months back then?"

"To remain undetected in such a place for months, one needs not only exceptional Transfiguration skills, but also a thorough understanding of the Magical Congress of America's internal environment and even an intimate knowledge of everyone's interpersonal relationships. Otherwise, wouldn't one be exposed after just a few words?"

"While it's true that Lord Grindelwald was the world's foremost Transfiguration master back then, capable of transforming into anyone he'd ever seen, if your grandfather hadn't told us about the inside story of the Magical Congress of America, Lord Grindelwald wouldn't have been able to remain hidden for so long!"

Upon hearing Abernathy's words, Christine felt her mind was in a state of chaos and confusion. She wanted to refute Abernathy's words, but reason told her that what Abernathy said made a lot of sense.

Christine was still finding it hard to accept the news. After a long while, she said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Where is my grandfather? Where did he go? After Gellert Grindelwald was arrested, the Magical Congress of the United States searched everywhere, but they could never find my grandfather. It was as if he had vanished into thin air!"

"So, even now, the Magical Congress of the United States still circulates the rumor that Gellert Grindelwald killed my grandfather and then impersonated him to enter Congress! Where did my grandfather go after that?"

Upon hearing Christine's question, Abernathy sighed again and slowly said:

"We don't know either..."

"What did you say?"

Christine looked at Abernathy in disbelief. She had thought she would get information about her grandfather's whereabouts from Abernathy today, but this was the answer she received.

Seeing Christine's somewhat skeptical expression, Abernathy quickly said:

"Actually, when Lord Grindelwald was preparing to infiltrate the Magical Congress of the United States, he set up a safe house for your grandfather to live in for safety reasons."
