Arya dreams of becoming a female Thanos, while the French Ministry of Magic wants to become the Father of All Magic... and then kill the female Thanos!

Then, a dozen or so flying brooms quietly approached from the storm clouds; and a dozen Abraxan their wings and took flight.

In an instant, countless spells shot out in mid-air, scattering light in all directions in a dazzling display of colors.

The Norwegian Ridgeback has steel-like scales and a layer of special magical protection that it is born with.

The spells struck it, causing Norbert to let out a roar, but they didn't cause much actual damage.

Arya looked down from her vantage point, twirling her wand and pointing it at the surrounding storm clouds.

The wand acted like a lightning rod, and a bolt of lightning struck it swiftly.

She wasn't struck by lightning; instead, she waved her wand, drawing the lightning to form a dazzling net of flames in mid-air.

The Auror riding brooms accidentally struck lightning and fell from the sky one by one.

William suddenly released the reins, Hermione took them without hesitation, and with a sharp tug, the Kelpie soared into the air.

William raised his wand high, and a barrier of fire formed at the tip of the wand, protecting him and Hermione.

The fire barrier touched the web of lightning, like countless needles pointing at a mirror.

But the barrier of flames did not shatter upon impact, allowing lightning to pour down. Instead, it solidified and became as smooth as a mirror, maintaining its overall stability.

From afar, William looked as if he were beckoning thunder... almost like the Thor!

Norbert the fire dragon shook its head, suddenly widened its eyes, revealed a huge mouth, and roared ferociously at William, spewing out scorching dragon breath!

The Kelpie slid backward through the air, dodging the deadly dragon's breath.

William stood in front of Hermione, both of them their hair flying wildly in the powerful flames.

When Norbert left Hogwarts, he was still an egg. He didn't even know Hagrid, his male mother... so how could he possibly know William and Hermione, his unfamiliar uncle and aunt?

So today he's going to get rid of this rebellious son for Hagrid!

William patted the Kelpie on the head.

Norbert can breathe fire, and he also has the power to breathe water like the Dragon King!

The water monster opened and closed its mouth, sucking in all the rain that was pouring down from the sky.

As Fantastic Beasts that lives entirely in water, this is its innate species talent!

William brandished his wand rapidly, raised his left hand upwards, and whispered, "Water Tornado!"

Arya isn't the only one skilled at harnessing the power of nature; William is also an expert in this area.

The torrential rain attracted by the Kelpie was completely taken over by him... along with the howling wind, it gathered into a tornado, shaped like a giant funnel!

The wind swirled violently above the church, seemingly reaching thousands of miles into the sky, constantly tearing down the dark clouds that blotted out the moon, growing ever more intense.

The wizards in the square were all trying their best to avoid the tornado and avoid being sucked in... Given its power, anyone who went in would die!

William flicked his wand again, unleashing a tornado of magic that swept up the ruins of Notre-Dame de Paris and hurtled toward Arya.

Hermione can finally breathe a sigh of relief; she no longer needs to worry about paying for the windows, because the entire church... is gone!

Arya raised her wand, and from within the thick clouds, a bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a tree trunk, struck the tornado.

In an instant, the sound was like a mountain collapsing and rocks splitting, shaking everyone's eardrums!

The purple lightning slowly dissipated in the gale, and the tornado, like a waterspout without a foundation, slowly rolled and tumbled at its peak before finally dissipating and returning to the sky.

Everyone covered their ears, staring in horror at William standing atop the water monster's head, and the woman Arya!

This level of combat is a once-in-a-lifetime event! The problem is, it's completely out of place for their ages!

That woman was at least an adult wizard, and how old was William? Had his magical skills reached such an astonishing level?

This can no longer be explained simply by the word "genius"!

Minister for Magic Tully, suppressing his inner horror, only hoped that the man and woman on the water monster could stop the madwoman.

He could only pin his hopes on the two of them!

If he could successfully stop it, he immediately overruled all objections and awarded the two men the First Class Medal of Valor of France.

Cregan's eyes were glazed over; he had actually led a group of Auror and been hunting down Stark for days?!

He did something so amazing? Come to think of it, it seems like something from a distant past life.

Arya stood alone on the dragon's head, letting the raindrops pelt her white robe, which accentuated her curvaceous and slender figure.

She waved her wand, shooting out a red beam of light, and shouted, "Stark, I've been watching you for a long time, gathering all the information I can about you, and I've been looking forward to meeting you."

Are you interested in joining me?

Just like Dumbledore and Grindelwald in their youth, we two have also formed Blood Pact, creating an unbreakable alliance!

"This isn't the gesture of an alliance." William flicked away the spell with his wand and chuckled, "Put down your wand before I talk to you."

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Arya summoned a blue spear.

William waved his wand, conjuring a water arrow that collided with the object.

"Am I wrong? There are too many Muggle; they'll become a cancer sooner or later!"

"Sorry, but you're like a malignant tumor right now!" William said. "And a late-stage one at that... You're too extreme; you might as well give up on treatment!"

"Extremist? Even setting aside the issue of uncontrolled population growth, Muggle technology is becoming increasingly advanced." Arya said softly, "One day, when I speak here, Muggle on the other side of the world will soon be able to see it."

At such times, the International Statute of Secrecy established by the wizard will instantly collapse.

That's true!

The internet age can be seen as the end of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy.

Previously, wizards only needed to modify the memories of the Muggle around them, which was still within a controllable range.

But with everyone having a mobile phone, if they take a video and upload it online, it will be seen by people on the other side of the world in an instant... It's not something that can be solved by simply "Obliviate"!

A single unexpected event would inevitably cause the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy to collapse, and that future is not too far off.

"The International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy... was never meant to protect secrets, but rather to protect wizards!"

"War is inevitable, whether for survival or to protect the wizards... I sincerely reiterate..."

Arya extended her hand, her blue eyes, as clear as autumn water, fixed on William. "I'd like to invite you!"

The rain poured down, and William stood silently in the downpour.

Suddenly, Hermione took William's hand, stepped forward, and stood beside the boy.

Her temples were wet with rain, clinging to her cheeks, and water droplets slid down her delicate, snow-white skin. She reached up to wipe the faint traces of water from her chin, simply staring at Arya without saying a word.

"So, you still have things to hold you back..." Arya gazed deeply at Hermione and said softly, "I have no such things to hold me back. Vinda is dead..."

"Did she leave you anything before she died?"

"Some letters... we'd like to pass them on to Grindelwald," William said.

"Give it to me... no matter what, I am her and Grindelwald's daughter in name only," Arya said softly.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Rosier didn't ask us to give you the letter before she passed away!" Hermione said, raising her pointed chin with a hint of provocation.

"Never mind..." Arya closed her eyes, like an ordinary girl utterly exhausted, "She's already dead, let Paris be buried with her."

Arya chose to destroy Paris because Vinda had lived there!

Arya opened her eyes and said in a strange language, "Stark, our dance has only just begun."

She Apparition and vanished into thin air.
