Death Has Arrived!
The Elder Wand may be cheap, but it's also undeniably effective.
When casting the same spell, the Elder Wand is much more powerful than a regular wand, especially for Dark Magic.
It simply increases spell power significantly.
Its experience is also very rich; having served many dark wizards, it can give you the most comfortable experience, making you feel like you're in heaven.
The problem is, when you get old and can't take it anymore, it will abandon you without hesitation... It's a jerk that can catch you completely Old Scumbag Wand guard when it gets tough.
Look at Gregorovitch, wasn't she ruthlessly abandoned?
Judging from how the old man cried just now, you can tell that he was quite a coward when he was young.
How dare this wizard go around claiming to possess the Elder Wand?
This isn't just being carried away; it's being misled.
This wouldn't happen with Dumbledore.
He was determined and powerful, able to wield the Elder Wand perfectly, making it pose however he wanted.
Wait, why does this look so much like The One Ring?
Could it be engraved on that Elder Wand as well?
The Supreme Staff, the Staff of Command... right?
Isn't Dumbledore Gandalf with the One Ring?
Ahem... Wrong set.
Just as William was pondering when to borrow it from Dumbledore to take a look, Gregorovitch covered his face.
His eyes flashed with hatred as he continued:
One day, a blond wizard—that ugly young man!
He stole my Elder Wand while I was making a new one!
My darling!"
William looked up at Gregorovitch's reddened eyes, and immediately activated his Legilimency.
He pierced through Gregorovitch's pupils and flew into the old man's memory:
A blond young wizard sat on the windowsill, but he was not ugly at all; on the contrary, he was incredibly handsome.
But what's most striking about him isn't his face, but his unique charisma.
His face wore a defiant smile, full of wildness and arrogance, exuding a fatal charm.
In his hand was also a uniquely designed magic wand.
Gregorovitch roared and charged forward, trying to grab the thief.
The young wizard cast a spell at Gregorovitch, which failed to kill him, then jumped off the windowsill and vanished into thin air.
The Elder Wand also left with it.
Almost simultaneously, a blood-chilling scream, filled with hatred and despair, erupted from inside the room.
Gregorovitch knelt on the ground, pounding his fist on the floor and cursing, "Thief! Thief! Thief!"
Ugly thief!
Steal my baby!!
The revelation washed over William like a tidal wave.
He knew who the wizard who stole the Elder Wand was...
Grindelwald.
So it was he who stole the Elder Wand.
That's really something... tsk tsk, this is the first Dark Lord, not only does he have big money, but he can also do some petty theft.
Indeed, to achieve great things, one must not be bothered by trifles.
This also freed William from any psychological burden when he wanted to steal Granian from the Austrian Ministry of Magic.
That's the power of role models.
"Since you no longer have the Elder Wand, why are you so afraid of us?" Hermione suddenly asked.
When Gregorovitch heard the two asking about the Elder Wand, he had just completely broken down and started crying.
"I thought you were sent by Death to kill me." Gregorovitch shrank back in his chair in fear.
William and Hermione exchanged a glance.
"Didn't you see those bloody facts?" Gregorovitch was very agitated.
He stroked his beard and said anxiously:
Do you think a wizard who once possessed the Elder Wand could live a peaceful old age?
No, they will all meet a tragic and violent end!
"But that wand is no longer with you; it has a new owner," Hermione said.
"But I was once the master of the Elder Wand!" the old man replied, his tone terrifying.
"This means I've been marked by Death. I wasn't killed by that young man. Death will definitely send other wizards to finish me off."
The wizards searching for the Elder Wand!
The legacy of the Elder Wand has always been bloody!
Gregorovitch broke down again, crying as he said:
"Even that blond wizard couldn't escape this fate!"
"Though he stole the Elder Wand, he will eventually be defeated by the wizard who stabbed him, leaving him bleeding profusely and wishing he were dead!"
Hmm... Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald... wait, that sounds so awkward.
William frowned.
But one thing is certain: Grindelwald did come to see Gregorovitch.
Furthermore, Nicolas also stated that in every version of the Three Brothers, the eldest and second eldest are dead... without exception.
From this perspective, Gregorovitch would indeed die.
Was Grindelwald representing Death, sent to kill Gregorovitch?
"Since you two are Stark and Granger, please save me!" Gregorovitch suddenly pleaded.
"Take me to Hogwarts, Dumbledore can protect me."
"You know us?" Hermione looked at him in surprise.
"Nonsense, even though I'm retired, I still read the newspaper, okay?" Gregorovitch retorted, displeased.
"I know you ruined Venice, otherwise why would I be talking to you about the Elder Wand?"
Isn't it because they're afraid of being killed at the slightest provocation?
He knew it perfectly.
William and Hermione were speechless.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast.
They saved so many people, how come nobody remembers?
Gregorovitch was packing his luggage, while William and Hermione sat by the door drinking tea.
This is truly a secluded place. William plans to casually move a few dozen centuries-old trees to the yard of his cottage.
I suppose the old man won't refuse, considering he'll help Gregorovitch?
"Are we really taking him away, William?" Hermione asked.
William nodded. "Grindelwald is indeed looking for Gregorovitch, and for whatever reason, he can't stay here."
Hermione thought for a moment and asked, "Then should I send him to Vienna and give Missandei?"
"Yes, just have Missandei give it to Soros." William picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and said:
"Tell the minister that Grindelwald is looking for Gregorovitch."
The Austrian Ministry of Magic would certainly protect Gregorovitch and send Auror to lie in wait.
Once they capture Grindelwald, their troubles will be over.
Hermione glanced into the distance, then lowered her voice, afraid that Gregorovitch would hear her:
"Is Grindelwald really the thief?"
"Yes," William nodded. "Do you remember when we were in Venice?"
Hermione immediately realized:
"Are you referring to the group photo you saw at Mrs. Bagshot's house?"
Last summer, William and Hermione, due to some unexpected incident, searched for the Holy Grail in Venice.
At that time, Death gave William guidance in his dream.
In order to understand the content of the dream, they visited the History of Magic Bagshot, who was vacationing in Venice at the time.
I also saw a photo in her house:
Young Dumbledore and the inexperienced Grindelwald.
In the photo, the two boys are arm in arm, appearing quite intimate.
"The thief in Gregorovitch's memory looks exactly like Grindelwald in the photograph."
William whispered, "Grindelwald stole the Elder Wand Elder Wand. Dumbledore must have obtained it after defeating him."
This clarifies the origins and development of the Elder Wand, as well as its lineage.
"Since Grindelwald once possessed the Elder Wand Elder Wand, he shouldn't have come for it," Hermione said doubtfully.
"Is he really just here to make a magic wand?"
William didn't know either.
However, he still agreed with Gregorovitch's statement:
The owner of the Elder Wand will be taken away by Death.
Just like Death Has Arrived, no one can escape it.
Grindelwald took the Elder Wand but did not kill Gregorovitch.
But fate will not end there.
So, Dumbledore?
Will he die a violent death?
And what about William himself?
He possesses more than one of these Deathly Hallows.
Just as William was deep in thought, Hermione suddenly looked up:
"Someone's coming!"
