A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 746 Stark let Grindelwald go?!

Umbridge was undoubtedly ostracized and targeted by representatives from various countries.

If she just sat there quietly, like a puppet, no one would deliberately make things difficult for her.

At most, he would make a few sarcastic remarks, expressing his indignation on behalf of Dumbledore.

Who would really make things difficult for a junior?

He really is a junior.

Many of the wizards present had graying temples, and quite a few were even the same age as Dumbledore.

Being Umbridge's godfather is too young; she'd be more like her godfather.

But Umbridge, on the other hand, brazenly declared that he would inherit Dumbledore's responsibilities and obligations... Does that mean he'd inherit the position of Grand Master of the Wizarding Union?

To put it bluntly:

Are you worthy?!

The Italian representative slammed his fist on the table and said directly, "If my information is correct, Britain is currently overwhelmed with its own problems; Voldemort has been resurrected once again."

The Italian representative's words caused many people to whisper among themselves.

In terms of international influence, Voldemort certainly doesn't compare to Grindelwald.

After all, even at his peak, this second-generation black man never led the Death Eaters out of the British Isles and into the European continent.

But an opponent that even Dumbledore couldn't handle was certainly no ordinary opponent.

"That's just Dumbledore's side of the story," Umbridge explained, still smiling.

"He's old and has dementia, that's why he's spouting such delusions..."

"I'm sorry," the U.S. representative, Piquell, interrupted her directly.

"What about William Stark? He's not that old, he's not likely to have dementia, is he?"

I heard the news came from Stark; he witnessed it firsthand and even fought Voldemort.

"Ha~ You actually believe what a minor wizard says? Stark is just lying to get attention..."

"An underage wizard?" the French representative exclaimed in support.

"Excuse my bluntness, but your so-called little wizard saved Paris and Venice."

He is not only a recipient of the Order of Merlin, but also of the Order of Valor and the Order of Magic of Italy.

"Given Stark's reputation and abilities, his words are more credible than yours."

After all, we have never heard of your name before.

"To put it bluntly, instead of listening to your nonsense, you might as well just let Stark speak."

The French representative's words were echoed by many wizards.

Why were Stark and Granger allowed to attend the Wizarding Convention?

They just wanted to hear about the attacks in Paris and determine the level of danger posed by Arya Grindelwald.

Who do you think you are, Umbridge?

"Yes, you haven't even resolved your own country's problems, yet you still want to continue serving as president and managing the International Wizarding Federation?" the Argentine representative added sarcastically.

"What wishful thinking!"

The French and Italian representatives were so enthusiastic in their support of William because someone had given them instructions before their arrival.

But Argentina? Of course not. Do you really think they would consider Britain's interests?

How could that be? What does Britain's life or death have to do with Argentina... Okay, it does have to do with it.

He wished Britain would die.

the reason is simple:

That year, Voldemort had just fallen from power, and the Death Eaters were retaliating wildly everywhere, plunging the British wizarding world into chaos and political instability.

The Argentine Magic Council saw an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and decided to launch a war to occupy the Falkland Islands.

Unexpectedly, at the International Wizarding Conference, Dumbledore sanctioned the Argentine Magical Council, banning wizards from participating.

As a result, Argentina suffered a crushing defeat in the Falklands War.

Therefore, he was merely using this as an excuse to ensure that Britain would not have another chairman in the short term.

But Umbridge didn't realize that she only felt utterly contemptuous and offended.

She had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace!

Piqueli said in a deep voice, "As I said, the magical world is facing a crisis. We must immediately come up with a feasible plan to capture Grindelwald."

Stark and Granger arrived in Nurmengard immediately, and I think... it's good to have them participate in this meeting and speak freely.

Umbridge's eyes darted around.

That won't do!

Before she came, Fudge specifically instructed her:

We must use every means to prevent Stark and Granger from speaking at the Wizarding Convention.

Especially the comments about the "resurrection of a mysterious person".

If we let the two of them talk like this, who knows what kind of things they might say that would be detrimental to Fudge.

Umbridge suddenly had a good idea.

She said in a sweet, cloying voice:

"Does Piqueli's representative mean that we are preparing to try British wizards?"

"It's not a trial, just an inquiry," Picqueli shook his head.

"I saw not a single hint of inquiry!" Umbridge suddenly exclaimed indignantly. "All I saw was unfounded suspicion!"

"You suspect... that Stark and Granger are the murderers who let Grindelwald go, and you want to put our wizards on trial!"

Piqué was momentarily stunned.

What is this crazy woman saying?

Umbridge stood up and said:

"Whatever crimes Stark and Granger committed in Austria, I, as a member of the British Wissengamo, have the legal right to extradite them back to the United States."

"Then, he was given a rigorous trial by the impartial Englishman Wisconsin."

Umbridge flashed a badge with the letter W on it.

Not long ago, Dumbledore was stripped of his Wizengamot status, while she was successfully enlisted through Fudge's efforts.

According to the Wizengamo Charter of Rights, Wizengamo has the right to extradite its own sorcerers back to the country if they commit crimes abroad.

In fact, it was William who inspired Umbridge.

That year, when Scamander was imprisoned in Paris, William proposed to extradite him back to the United States.

But Crigane refused.

Because William was only a representative of the Wisconsin youth, he only had the right to hear cases, not the power to extradite prisoners back to their country.

But Umbridge is Wisengama and has the right to extradite her.

To put it simply, this right is used to protect domestic wizards from persecution in other countries.

Umbridge, however, used the opposite argument, claiming that Picqueri wanted to put the two men on trial.

Umbridge's goal was simple: to forcibly extradite William and Hermione back to the United States to prevent them from saying anything inappropriate.

Is this reasonable?

Of course it makes sense.

Is there any way to stop it?

Of course there are.

After all, Grindelwald's case involves international affairs, and the International Wizarding Federation has the right to refuse.

But isn't there no president now?

If you're going to refuse, at least you should elect a president first.

The meeting room buzzed again, as if it were a foregone conclusion that William and Hermione would be taken back to England.

Therefore, the two of them would not be able to mention Voldemort at the Wizarding Convention.

Piqueli looked at Umbridge, suddenly stood up, and calmly said:

"I'm going to the restroom, you guys continue your conversation."

……

……

Inside the room were only William and Hermione, and Missandei, who was always by their side.

Hermione was holding a two-way mirror and trying to contact Anne.

Before William left England, he made several two-way mirrors and gave one to Anne and one to Hermione so they could keep in touch.

The main task is to keep an eye on Annie's progress and make sure she doesn't slack off and focuses on finding the Horcruxes.

But now it comes in handy.

William sat at the table, examining the scraps he had collected from the cell.

He felt it was burning wood, much like a magic wand.

As for Dumbledore, William hasn't made contact with him yet.

He didn't know how to tell Dumbledore.

How should I put it?

Principal, Grindelwald has run away!

Principal, has your former lover run away?

Headmaster, Grindelwald is looking for you!

Wait... he's not really going to go find Dumbledore, is he?

If that's the case, it's probably not a pleasant surprise, but a shock.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.
