My Hogwarts has a serious problem.

Chapter 522, Chapter 519: What are you waiting for? (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone!)

On the hazy island, Voldemort stared grimly at the wizard commander of the Magical Congress of the United States.

"Do you really think stalling will work, or do you really think Dumbledore and his ilk are stupid enough not to realize what's happening and can't find this place?"

The commander looked at him expressionlessly, showing no fear whatsoever towards this infamous dark lord who was notorious in Europe.

He's just a powerful terrorist in the British magical world who relies on extreme theories and is essentially a minor figure in the cholera outbreak.

Although the American wizarding community is not as well-established as the British magical community, the number of American wizards far exceeds that of British wizards.

With a sufficient number of wizards, the number of geniuses produced by American wizards is not small.

Perhaps no wizard has yet achieved the same level of accomplishments as Voldemort, Dumbledore, and Grindelwald.

However, their magical community's overall strength is definitely superior to any European Ministry of Magic.

Moreover, the person standing in front of him now is not Voldemort himself.

The commander knew very well that the noseless monster before him was just one of Voldemort's remnant souls.

Even if Voldemort himself came, he wouldn't feel much, let alone this remnant soul pointing fingers at him.

"Even if Dumbledore knew, so what? Could he find this place?"

The commander sneered.

"According to Lord Picqueri's plan, no one can save that boy today."

In fact, the commander was not telling the truth. The real order that Picqueri gave them was to kill Lynn at all costs.

She will bear all the losses and responsibilities that occur in the meantime.

If all the American wizards were really teleported into the fortress created by Lynn, they could overwhelm him with sheer numbers.

But the commander couldn't believe what Piqueli said.

The Aurors who were injured earlier, while not enough to cripple the Magical Society of America, certainly hurt them.

Especially noteworthy is the tragic death of the security chief in front of the Capitol.

This enraged the members of Congress, who then made the decision to kill Lynn.

The task of trapping Lynn in alliance with Voldemort was entrusted to this commander.

Piqueli's orders to the commander were to spare no effort, but the members of Congress told him to do everything in his power to eliminate or arrest Lynn.

Having held a high position for many years, the commander was naturally able to discern the meaning behind their words.

As a descendant of the greatest president of the former Magic Congress of the United States, Piqueli has valued the glory of the Congress more than his own since childhood.

However, for most wizards, their sense of national identity is actually very weak, and it is even questionable whether the concept of a country exists in the magical world at all.

After all, institutions like the so-called British Magical Government and the American Magical Congress are mainly used to facilitate the lives of wizards and maintain social order.

Thanks to the widespread use of Floo Powder, Apparition, and Portkeys in the magical world, wizards have virtually no restrictions on their movement around the world.

In addition, Westerners are generally easygoing and free-spirited, so there are very few wizards and they tend to have a strong attachment to their homeland.

This is also why almost all magic school education lacks patriotic education.

All the Ministries of Magic were established on the basis of Muggle nations.

Therefore, as the commander of the American Aurors, he did not have much of a concept of honor or disgrace for Congress.

He cares more about his own interests.

Even though Piqueli gave him assurances, his political instincts told him perfectly well.

If the Aurors of the Magical Congress of the United States suffer heavy casualties here, then the members of Congress will surely find someone to take responsibility.

He is clearly the one most likely to take responsibility.

So it was both for his own position and to preserve the vitality of Congress.

This commander never intended to fight Lynn to the death.

He never imagined that Lynn would have the ability to fight him to the death.

The cause of death of former security chief O'Brien remains unclear to Congress.

The newly appointed interim security chief and Auror commander did not believe that Lynn had any chance of escaping now.

On this issue, Voldemort had clearly developed a different opinion from him.

Based on his decades of experience opposing Dumbledore, he simply did not believe that things would go so smoothly this time.

Lynn, who had been tricked into coming, appeared too calm and composed, showing no signs of panic or distress despite being in a dangerous situation. Instead, it seemed as if she had expected this all along.

Hundreds of wizards formed a circle around the steel fortress built by Lynn. As the gray haze around them thickened, Voldemort's uneasy premonition grew stronger.

Waves crashed against the rocks on the shore of the small island.

A sound, indistinguishable from normal ocean waves, silently blended into the wave.

Voldemort was suddenly startled, and his entire body suddenly turned into a cloud of black mist, rising into the sky.

The commander of the American Magic Congress was initially taken aback by his actions, but then he was startled to realize that something was wrong with his surroundings.

At some unknown time, countless indistinct figures appeared around the island!

These people arrived on the island silently, each holding a magic wand, like ghosts.

"Enemy attack! Alert!"

The amplification spell carried his voice to every corner of the island, drawing the attention of every wizard on the island away from the fortress Lynn had built and towards the outside world.

However, by the time they realized what was happening, it was already too late.

Countless spells of various colors, like the flashing neon lights of London's red-light district at night, pierced through the haze of darkness and launched a fierce attack on the wizards of the American Magical Congress.

Before they could react, the vast majority of American wizards were caught off guard by the surprise attack spell.

The outermost wizards were struck by the spell and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

The wizards surrounding Lynn at the innermost part were not spared either.

The scepter transformed into a fortress and suddenly disappeared. When Lynn reappeared, he held the scepter high in his hand.

"Avada Kedavra (Triple Boost)!"

A green light permeated the entire island, and the American wizards closest to him were caught off guard and immediately affected by the spreading Killing Curse.

They collapsed to the ground, their bodies limp, foaming at the mouth and their eyes rolling back.

This kind of widely spreading killing curse cannot kill them, but it can demonstrate a power even better than the stun curse, completely rendering these people unable to fight.

Lynn watched with a smile, reacting quickly by using his flying broom to fly into the air, dodging his spell and the British Aurors who had suddenly attacked the island, as well as the American wizard commander who was launching the first attack.

"I'm waiting for my men to come to my aid, what are you waiting for?"
