Chapter 530 Post-War Blessing! The Spirits of the Four Founders Appear!
The playground in front of Hogwarts Castle after the war.
Grindelwald was bound into a human cocoon by magical ropes and hung in mid-air in front of the castle gate.
Fewer than five hundred surviving paralyzed saint prisoners, further sealed by Dudley's magic, were haphazardly piled up on the broken grassy open ground below Grindelwald.
All members of the Hogwarts side, including all those who went into battle and those who remained at the castle, had been moved to an open area further in front of the castle for resettlement.
At this time, the various star battlefields have been restored to their original Hogwarts grounds, but a large number of corpses or remains of iniquities, dark wizards, and enemy magical creatures, as well as numerous traces of magical destruction, remain.
Within the Hogwarts grounds, apart from the castle which remained undamaged as before, the rest of the area was littered with corpses and devastation.
Most of the Hogwarts members who were fighting collapsed from exhaustion and fell unconscious, lying on stretchers conjured by Transfiguration. Those who were not unconscious could not stand and sat on chairs conjured by Transfiguration to rest.
The castle's remaining personnel were in high spirits, moving among the crowd and taking care of the soldiers going into battle to the best of their ability.
The magical creatures on Hogwarts' side, being physically stronger than humans, didn't collapse from exhaustion, but they were still quite tired.
Flying and terrestrial magical creatures were resting on the open ground next to humans, lying down, squatting, sitting, or sitting.
It requires magical creatures that live in water, such as mermaids and giant squid, which are currently resting in a super-large water mass that Dali has conjured and fixed in the air.
The ghosts, however, did not seem tired and continued to drift and move about.
Dudley and Dumbledore stood solemnly, facing their own men and with their backs to the hanging Grindelwald and the pile of Saint prisoners on the ground.
The next moment, Dudley and Dumbledore exchanged a glance, and then, with a thought, silently cast the Conceptual Restoration Charm.
Dudley deliberately controlled the conceptual repair spell to slowly take effect, allowing the Hogwarts members to fully appreciate the beauty of the process.
Before long, the exhausted and unconscious member of the team woke up and stood up.
They felt their strength and energy slowly returning, and the thirst and hunger gradually subsided.
Then they saw Grindelwald hanging and the imprisoned saints, Headmaster Dumbledore and the Dursleys smiling at them, and the Hogwarts grounds slowly recovering from their devastation...
Realizing they had won a resounding victory and received the blessing of recovery, they quickly joined in the joyful cheers of the combatants who had never lost consciousness throughout the battle.
However, the surprises didn't end there.
Dudley secretly cast new conceptualized repair spells and conceptualized opening spells.
After the body and mind have recovered to their best condition.
Among the participants, those over thirty years old who had not previously enjoyed the benefits of becoming younger, whether they were adult white wizards from Britain or professors and leaders from the seven exchange teams, were now regaining their youth to varying degrees.
At the same time, among the members who had not received the same benefits before, the gates of wisdom and comprehension were instantly opened to varying degrees, and the bloodline shackles that limited the upper limit of magical cultivation were also loosened to varying degrees.
Among the crowd were many wizards whose magical cultivation had already reached the upper limit of their bloodline, who immediately unleashed even stronger magical fluctuations than before.
Among the Hogwarts faculty and staff, members of the Order of the Phoenix, and even the professors and leaders of the seven exchange teams, several individuals achieved the breakthrough to legendary wizardry on the spot.
The original founder, Mr. Arkinbard, Aurelius, and Snape—these were already legendary wizards—immediately raised their magical skills to a new level.
The crowd fell silent in surprise at first, but after confirming that they weren't dreaming, they erupted into even louder cheers and discussions than before.
Karkarov, who retreated in the face of battle, received no benefits whatsoever. His face looked as if he had lost a hundred million Galleons. He was mournful, beating his chest and stamping his feet. Afraid of losing face and being ridiculed by others, he had no choice but to force himself to smile.
Dudley took in everyone's state and reactions. After the cheers subsided slightly, he used a megaphone spell to ask everyone to quiet down.
Then, the storytelling and performance officially began.
"As you can see, we have won this battle! And it was an unprecedented and overwhelming victory, achieved by defeating a larger force with a smaller one!"
In this day and age, it is no longer possible for any large-scale black magic organization in the world to disrupt peace and stability!
Dali's opening remarks were very inspiring, and everyone who heard them showed expressions of pride and excitement.
"And what everyone just felt..."
Dudley continued, but this time he stopped halfway through his sentence and turned to look at the sky above Hogwarts Castle with Dumbledore.
No one found Dudley's reaction strange, because they had anticipated the reason for it.
And their attention was drawn away by this reason beforehand.
As Dudley spoke, four enormous, towering golden figures suddenly appeared in the sky above Hogwarts Castle.
These four golden figures, two men and two women, each with a different temperament, exuded magical fluctuations that were incredibly powerful yet posed no threat to the White Wizard.
After appearing, the four figures looked down at the white wizards on the playground with kind and gentle expressions.
"It's...it's Mother!"
Lady Grey, the representative ghost of Ravenclaw, who is also Lady Helena, the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Ravenclaw, screamed as she looked at one of the four huge golden figures, a woman holding a book and wearing a crown.
Upon seeing the woman's figure, the Blood Man Barrow was so frightened that he buried himself in the ground, not daring to show his face.
"These are the four founders of Hogwarts! These are what they looked like when they were young!"
Amidst the silence, Professor Binns suppressed his shock and gave a loud introduction.
In the common rooms of each house in Hogwarts Castle, there are static, thoughtless portraits of the founders of their respective houses. Hogwarts teachers and students have seen what they looked like, but there are some differences between them and these figures.
Unable to determine the situation and shocked by the magical fluctuations emanating from the enormous figure, everyone fell silent for the time being.
With the confirmations from Mrs. Grey and Professor Binns, two ghosts from a thousand years ago, everyone came to their senses.
"Hogwarts students and staff pay tribute to the spirits of the four founders!"
"Dumbledore called out in a solemn voice."
Then, together with Dali, they bowed to the four enormous golden figures.
Seeing this, all the wizards from England, regardless of age, graduation status, or whether they were living or ghosts, followed suit and bowed solemnly. Even Barrow, the Blood Man who was afraid of being held accountable by Lady Ravenclaw, bowed on the ground.
The male wizard nodded in respect, and the female wizard curtsied.
After the ceremony was completed, everyone looked up at the four figures again.
Four figures smiled slightly at them, then transformed into countless golden magical specks, spreading outwards from Hogwarts Castle until they disappeared.
This added another layer of shock to Ms. Gray's already surprised state, and the others also erupted in a flurry of panicked discussion.
The spirits of the four founders have been scattered; have they perished?
Will the founder's blessing magic be affected?
Apart from the British white wizard who knew the inside story of Dudley's resurrection ability and was relatively calm, all other wizards, regardless of whether they were British or not, were very worried about these two issues at this moment.
