The Switch

Four menacing Guard Corps had already squeezed into the narrow doorway of the single room, with the leader, Metelinke, staring warily at Sean.

"Wallerup, if the trial proves you innocent, I guarantee you will not be subjected to any difficulties, so give up the fight."

Metelinke spoke words of persuasion, but he remained wary and did not approach, instead keeping the tip of his wand firmly pointed at Sean.

The Guard Corps extracted some information about the Death Eaters from Lestrange, revealing that their leader was posing as Sean Wallerup. Of course, an appearance alone proves nothing; Polyjuice Potion and the Metamorphmagus could both achieve this. However, Wallerup's current identity is sensitive, providing an opportune moment to conduct a thorough investigation.

Regardless of whether this kid on the other side has any connection with the Death Eaters, all they need to do is dig out information about Grindelwald.

However, if the boy in front of them really was the leader of an evil organization, then they needed to be careful— the Fire Giant that ravaged Paris was still fresh in their minds.

Although the probability of this is essentially zero.

Moreover, there is an advantage to operating within Newmontgard Castle: there is no need to worry about massive destructive magic—the castle has restrictions that suppress powerful magic.

Sean slowly raised his hands expressionlessly, his mind churning with thoughts.

Although he had always dealt with powerful wizards like Grindelwald and Dumbledore, it was precisely because of this that Sean understood even better that the elite wizards before him were no match for Grindelwald, but were more than capable of dealing with him.

Sean has three options: First, borrow the power of the Obscurus. However, he currently has very little power available, and the Obscurus's power is too explosive. It wouldn't be difficult to take down the few people in front of him, but they would most likely be prepared. If he gets entangled, he will still be captured once the power the Obscurus lent him disappears.

Second, the Animagus. The Fire Dragon Animagus has enough power, but he is too big a target, and his wand was switched by Grindelwald. It is unknown whether there will be any accidents during his transformation.

3. Prop George Weasley's Trick: A one-time use item that guarantees escape from the scene of a prank. The prank is easy to pull off, and the effectiveness of the system item is beyond question.

And Dumbledore, who might be able to help him, has yet to appear.

Sean raised his head and looked across. No matter what, he understood one thing—being in the hands of the Guard Corps wasn't scary. If it was just ordinary imprisonment and interrogation, he could handle it with the various tricks he had learned from Grindelwald. What was truly terrifying was the mastermind behind the Guard Corps.

The choice then became easy: running away was the only option.

Unfortunately, after running away, he will become a wanted criminal like Grindelwald, and all his previous plans will be rendered useless.

But there was nothing he could do... Sean sighed inwardly with a cold look in his eyes, but a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"I'm warning you, Sean Wallerup, don't try to struggle in vain!" Metelinke shouted.

Just as Sean was about to use the Transfiguration that Grindelwald had taught him to get a makeover and then play a prank, hurried footsteps came from the hallway outside the door.

The Vice Principal of both schools, Professor McGonagall and Professor Rosier, appeared together.

Metelinke glanced back, his wand still pointing at Sean: "Professors, my men should have shown you the arrest warrant issued by the International Confederation of Wizards, right? You won't need to trouble yourselves with apprehending the suspect."

Professor McGonagall looked serious. She carefully examined Sean in the room and quickly said, "Mr. Metelinke, something's fishy about this."

"If there's anything fishy going on, that's the court's job. We're only responsible for taking the suspect back!"

Professor Rosier looked coldly at Sean: "Throw down your wand and get out here."

"Professor Rosier, what are you talking about?" Metelinke looked puzzled. His teammates moved closer, and some of them became wary of him.

Rosier's voice grew increasingly serious. "Drop your wand and surrender!"

The wand is gone... Sean's heart skipped a beat; Professor Rosier was reminding him.

My wand... Grindelwald switched my wand...switched it...

Professor McGonagall quickly said, "Mr. Wallop has been parasitized!"

"Parasitic?!"

Rosier drew his wand and pointed it at Sean: "Get out of this child's body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Metelinke felt a terrifying surge of dark power. The Sean Wallerup before him began to twist rapidly, his height increased, his skin grew paler, and his hair fell out strand by strand.

The once handsome young man has been transformed into a terrifying man without nostrils.

"Tom Riddle!" Professor Rosier shouted, and before anyone else could react, a dazzling green light burst forth from the tip of his staff!

"Rosier, the child is still inside!" Professor McGonagall's eyes widened.

However, Sean, now Voldemort, casually waved his wand, and the green light disappeared before bursting out from behind him, exploding through the stone wall behind him with a "whoosh".

"I've been discovered..." Voldemort revealed a sinister and cruel smile, and suddenly pushed with his free left hand!

Metelinke's hair stood on end, and his defensive spell was instantly activated, but even so, he was still violently sent flying.

Unprecedented magic... He clutched his chest and shouted, "Watch out for your left hand!"

The other Guard Corps were shocked, but they were also among the best wizards, and after only a slight hesitation, they raised their wands and attacked Voldemort.

However, Voldemort dodged Rosier's spell by waving his wand with one hand, while magic continued to surge from his other hand, the terrifying power causing the air to ripple and rush towards everyone present.

One of the Guard Corps was a fraction too slow in casting the Shield Charm, and his body was shoved out like a broken sack, then crashed heavily into the wall, his fate unknown.

Metelinke pulled his unconscious colleague back, his teeth clenched, his eyes wide with shock.

They carefully investigated Sean Wallerup's background and concluded that the child was indeed enrolled and studied normally, and had not even come into contact with any signs of magic before the age of eleven.

According to the Lestrange Brothers ' testimonies, the leader of the Death Eaters was a powerful and cruel Dark Wizard. Therefore, Metelinke himself was not very convinced that Sean Wallerup was the leader of the Death Eaters.

He personally believed that Sean Wallerup was merely controlled by the Imperius Curse and turned into a puppet on stage; as for the parasitic soul phenomenon, they had never even witnessed such magic before.

They were looking for a legitimate reason to arrest Wallerup and then dig up information about Grindelwald.

Of course, just in case, the Guard Corps still dispatched a large group of skilled personnel.

But what Metelinke didn't expect was that Sean Wallerup had been possessed by a powerful wizard!

The unknown magic just now easily shattered his defenses; its strength was almost comparable to Grindelwald's!

The students had already been evacuated, and the rest area had now become a battlefield filled with curses.

"Boom!" Another loud bang, and another colleague fell into the dust.

"Where are they?! Where are the rest of us?!"

"Captain, Newmontgard has a forbidden spell. Because we're worried he might escape, everyone else is guarding the exits!"

"Send a signal!"

"They've sent it! But they can only run over here..."

"Damn it!" Metelinke cursed, then looked toward the center of the battlefield.

In the center of the battlefield, the only one who truly posed a threat to Voldemort was Vita Rosier, who fearlessly unleashed a series of green spells at him. Meanwhile, Professor McGonagall was skillfully using her Transfiguration to restrain him, her face filled with worry.

Metelinke gritted his teeth. If it weren't for the two witches holding him back, most of his dozen or so men would probably have fallen by now.

The noseless man who was emitting a cruel laugh had his lower body turn into black smoke. He waved his wand to resist Rosier and McGonagall, while his other hand continuously emitted powerful force. The transparent fluctuations in the air could not be traced, and if a member of the Guard Corps was not careful, he would be sent flying backward and lose his fighting ability.

On the battlefield, Professor McGonagall used Transfiguration to try to restrict Voldemort's movements while simultaneously limiting Rosier's spells.

"Professor Rosier! That child is the real one! We can't kill him!" she cried anxiously.

Rosier's eyes were cold. "Don't you understand? Wallerup has two souls inside him, and Tom Riddle is currently controlling his body! Only by killing this soul can Wallerup regain control of his own!"

"But what if Wallerup's soul is blocked in front of him?! He's my student!"

Rosier's face hardened with icy arrogance. "Then... sacrifice!"

"Ha—" Voldemort let out a hoarse laugh, "Come on, kill me—"

'Damn, no wonder he's Grindelwald's confidant, his acting is really good...' Sean thought to himself while laughing wildly.

He realized what was happening the moment the other person shouted "parasite," as Grindelwald had anticipated it long ago.

Voldemort's sudden appearance the night before will expose Sean's identity, which will inevitably lead to big trouble.

No wonder he switched the wands; he was reminding himself of this—the switch.

They could stage a switcheroo scene, clean up Sean Wallerup's identity, and then bring him back out, since all the blame could be pinned on the mute Voldemort.

Vita Rosier can also relieve the pressure by doing this—haven't you always been wary of my continued contact with Lord Grindelwald?

Alright, now that I've tried to eliminate the leader of the Death Eaters, that proves quite a bit, doesn't it? After all, you all think the Death Eaters are an evil organization created by Lord Grindelwald.

Although Vita Rosier's green spell was terrifying, Sean had witnessed its true nature, had nothing to worry about.

Grindelwald had taught him that this green spell was the precursor to the Killing Curse, and that it was originally a Healing Spell!

Therefore, he didn't have to worry about acting poorly. He could use the black mist of the Flying Charm to blur the light of the spell, actually take the "Killing Curse" head-on, and then secretly cast an Explosion Charm on the wall behind him.

The two actors displayed remarkable chemistry without prior communication!

The only variable was Professor McGonagall. Sean originally thought she was sent by Dumbledore, but Professor McGonagall seemed unaware of this. Although she was worried about harming the real Sean and did not use powerful spells, even her restrictive Transfiguration left Sean struggling to cope.

As expected of Transfiguration Master second only to the two perverted old men—if Professor McGonagall hadn't had to spare some energy to help Voldemort fend off Rosier's Killing Curse, and if the Killing Curse hadn't been able to replenish his strength and heal his injuries, Sean might not have been able to hold on by now.

Despite his inner turmoil, his expression remained manic; Sean is quite experienced in playing Voldemort.

Barely dodging the stone python conjured by Professor McGonagall, Sean suddenly thrust his left hand forward, the Obscurus's power continuing to erupt without restraint. His other hand was putting on an act; this hand was truly ruthless.

The only known Obscurial can control Obscurus Aurelius. The Guard Corps, who have never witnessed such power before, are suffering greatly. Colleagues are constantly being knocked away, and in addition to the sound of exploding rocks, they have heard the sound of bones breaking many times.

This man in front of me without a nose is terrifying!

The Vice Principal of both schools, especially the witch who used the Killing Curse as a Lighting Charm, put themselves in the shoes of the Guard Corps, and they felt that they would be quickly defeated by either of them.

However, the man in front of them was able to fend off the attacks of the two witches with one hand, and with the other hand, he was able to drive them back in defeat.

With a loud "bang!", another Guard Corps who hadn't had time to cast the Shield Charm was slammed against the wall. He didn't even have time to scream before he fainted in the dust.

Sean acted without restraint, and those guys who had never even seen Grindelwald before were already starting to be influenced by fear.

At that moment, Rosier suddenly shouted, "Newmontgard will not tolerate the existence of Dark Wizard!"

"That's a bit over the top, Professor..." Sean muttered, realizing the other person was reminding him.

The remaining large number of Guard Corps are about to arrive!

Voldemort laughed maniacally, his face contorted with madness, and then secretly used a Transfiguration.

Sean Wallerup's pained face writhed in the black mist.

"Sean!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed.

Metelinke saw this too, but he didn't have time to think about it anymore; the noseless man was charging towards him!

The force repelled the remaining members of the Guard Corps, and then the air surged and pressed down on Metelinke!

"Ah—" The short scream was gone in an instant. The bones in Metelinke's lower body were shattered one by one, and his life was in danger.

"Rosier!" Professor McGonagall exclaimed as a sharp green beam struck Voldemort squarely in the back.

A agonizing scream rang out as Voldemort writhed violently, his face constantly shifting between Sean and No-Nose, billowing black smoke rising into the air.

After a scream, Voldemort transformed back into Sean and collapsed limply to the ground.
