An All-Star Lineup of Professors

Grindelwald is dead... probably the least funny joke of the year.

It wasn't a joke, because William knew that the first Dark Lord was searching for Death.

Isn't this just courting death?

As for the joke... Grindelwald couldn't possibly have died before meeting Death.

The only way to meet the Death Reaper is through seppuku (ritual suicide).

However, Gregorovitch had no reason to lie; he didn't hate Grindelwald.

Back when the first Dark Lord ravaged Europe, he was not harmed.

Not to mention, she even saved him from being chased by the North Sea Kraken.

What a kind person!

Gregorovitch was probably the first wizard to give Grindelwald a "friend zone" card.

Even Dumbledore wouldn't dare to go against his conscience and issue such a card.

At most, he'll issue one card that truly embodies boyfriend charm.

In any case, based on their time together these past few days, Gregorovitch believes that the Dark Lord has definitely reformed himself in Nurmengard.

What this wand maker didn't know was that the young man who stole his Elder Wand years ago... was Grindelwald.

Otherwise, I'd have to go up there and fight to the death!

Therefore, Gregorovitch would not deliberately spread the news that Grindelwald was dead.

How did the Dark Lord die?

Gregorovitch said a lot, which can be translated as:

"When the sea monster was born, it was the most vicious. It could eat people and suck them up in one gulp from a distance of forty-five miles."

Grindelwald, having attained a golden body atop the snow-capped mountain, was sucked into its belly and attempted to exit through his anus...

Ahem... This is a mix-up; it's about the experiences of the great sorcerer Tathagata Zhenren.

However, Grindelwald is in a similar situation.

He was swallowed by the North Sea Kraken and did not emerge from its back... It is estimated that he has been turned into excrement and excreted into the sea.

Well, that's certainly a very flavorful way to die.

But William certainly didn't believe that Grindelwald would be digested by the siren.

Led by Gregorovitch, the group entered the snow hut.

It's called a snow house, but the inside has been expanded countless times using Undetectable Extension Charm.

A palace made of ice and snow appeared before everyone.

--The Palace of the Snow Queen.

But the palace had long since collapsed and was almost a ruin, with broken walls and rubble everywhere.

William walked at the front, raising his wand high so that the light emanating from it illuminated everyone.

The wide, ice-sculpted steps, though uneven and bumpy, are still walkable.

They climbed about two hundred steps before reaching the top.

At the end of the stairs was a tilted archway and a long, excavated corridor leading into the darkness.

Olaf stood on Elsa's shoulder, constantly guiding the way, without encountering any danger or hearing any unusual noises.

Only the light emanating from William's wand illuminated the path ahead.

After walking for about ten minutes, the group finally entered a spacious hall.

The crystal walls, shimmering like glass, reflected green light that fell upon the diamond-shaped stained-glass windows on the sloping walls.

William soon discovered where the green light was coming from: in the center of the hall, there was a small, green pool.

The water was a deep, emerald-green color, and although it was not large, it was clearly very deep.

"Grindelwald lured the North Sea Kraken here, and then jumped in when the octopus opened its mouth wide," Gregorovitch said.

"Don't touch the lake water," Elsa warned. "This is the Lake of Reason from the story of ' The Snow Queen '."

If you touch the lake, you will never be able to leave this castle unless you spell out eternity.

William nodded; in fact, even without her reminder, he wouldn't have touched the lake water.

He could sense that the water contained powerful magic, far more terrifying than the lake filled with Inferi in the Horcrux Cave.

Hermione searched the other side, and after a moment, she called out, "William, there's a fishing rod here!"

William walked over, bent down to examine the fishing rod, and began to ponder it carefully.

This is a magical item; William had seen something similar with Nicolas before.

According to Nicolas, it was his fishing rod for sea fishing.

However, it wasn't for catching ordinary fish, but for Fantastic Beasts sea serpent.

Occasionally

The fishing line can be over a thousand meters long. Once a sea snake takes the bait, it will be automatically pulled up, and then... made into snake soup.

I occasionally go fishing for Colossal Squid, these deep-sea creatures.

When it comes to enjoying life, William has never seen anyone surpass Nicolas.

The fishing rod in front of me is a similar magical item.

It was probably used by Grindelwald to fish for the North Sea Kraken.

William picked up the fishing rod, flicked his wrist, and the fishing line swung up, soaring into the air.

There seemed to be no end to it, and I hadn't seen a fishhook in ages.

How long must this fishing line be? Five hundred meters? Eight hundred meters? William waited patiently for the hook to come out of the water.

A moment later, the fishing line was pulled to its end, and a shadow emerged from the bottom of the pool.

But as it approached the water's surface, the siren's enormous body collapsed rapidly in a strange way.

The octopus, which was originally a hundred meters long, ended up being only the size of a palm, floating on the surface of the water.

An unseen force prevented it from leaving the pool; it was completely trapped.

William gave it another hard tug, and with a snap, the fishhook came out of the siren's mouth.

One end was tied to an old man.

Grindelwald, following the fishing line, detached from the octopus's mouth, and his body immediately grew larger.

He stepped on the siren's head, using the momentum to float towards the shore, and landed lightly beside William.

The old man checked himself to make sure he wasn't soaked in the lake water, then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at William, and smiled:

"You've finally arrived... Of course, I Prophecy this scene long ago."

Grindelwald seemed to have not spoken to anyone in a long time, and said sarcastically:

Last year on the banks of the Danube, I asked you to come with me to the area north of the North Sea, but you refused.

So, I told you you'd get fired, and you did get fired in the end, right?

William: "..."

How did Dumbledore tolerate this person when he was young?

William really wanted to give him a bright green Avada Kedavra.

Lakeside

Grindelwald sat on the ground, flipping through the book of fairy tales again, seemingly lost in memories.

William, meanwhile, fiddled with his fishing rod, constantly using dragon meat as bait to tease the palm-sized North Sea Kraken.

Anyway, it can't get out of the lake.

William has no doubt that Grindelwald was able to Prophecy this day in advance.

For Grindelwald, it was child's play.

How exaggerated were the Prophecy abilities of the first Dark Lord?

In 1927, at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, Grindelwald gave a public speech, showing wizards prophetic images of the atomic bomb explosion.

To make Prophecy twenty years in advance, with such incredibly detailed imagery... what kind of terrifying ability is this?

Even Professor Trelawney in her Great Seer mode would likely be no match for him, and might even be so ashamed that she smashed the Prophecy Orb.

To be reasonable...

Dumbledore should have sent Grindelwald to Hogwarts to be the Divination professor.

Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?

To take it a step further, he should have agreed to let Voldemort become the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor back then.

Then they invited Nicolas to teach Alchemy, Newt taught them Care of Magical Creatures.

Finally, the Goblin Babbling teaches Ancient Runes... what an all-star lineup!

Perhaps only when the Four Founders were deans could they be compared to them?!

If a magical school education were to be evaluated, Hogwarts, with its faculty, would absolutely crush the rest of the world.

Unfortunately, Hogwarts missed a great opportunity to rise to prominence.

If these people are still alive when William becomes the principal, he will definitely recruit them as professors.

Even if it's just a title, even if it's just a soul... that would be good too.
