Chapter 281 - Chapter 140: Sis, You're Not Dead?

"If he doesn't take us to Vienna, he'll be killed and robbed of all his money in five minutes," Vivi said, pointing to a masked man ahead.

Harry then realized, "So that's how it is, Vivi... you are really kind-hearted."

"But even if we go to Austria, we still need to find a way to get to Nimongard Castle," Harry said, looking at Vivi.

Vivi thought for a moment and realized that Harry was right.

"Yes, what you said is indeed reasonable," Vivi said softly, "Nimongard Castle must be under Gael's Muggle Confusion Spell, Muggles can't find the castle... but if this car could fly, that would be great."

"Fly?" Harry suddenly remembered the Weasley family's car, "I remember Mr. Weasley has a flying car; if we used it, going to Nimongard would be simple."

Before he finished speaking, Newt knocked on the window.

"I have a carriage," he said succinctly, "a Nightmare Horse Carriage from Hogwarts— I can take you to Nimongard Castle."

Upon hearing Newt's words, Harry opened the car door and got out.

After getting out of the car, Vivi lifted the Soul-snatching Curse from the Muggle driver and deleted a small portion of his memory.

Watching the car rumble away, Newt looked complexly at Vivi, thinking she's indeed Grindelwald's sister, with a similar attitude towards Muggles.

But... he misunderstood Vivi.

Harry followed Newt onto the Nightmare Horse Carriage, even seeing the Hogwarts emblem on the door.

"Does this count as using a public vehicle for private purposes?" Harry suddenly asked.

"No," Newt replied, "because these four Nightmares are actually raised by me."

Harry leaned back slightly in respect.

He knew this Hufflepuff senior was very knowledgeable in Magical Creatures but didn't expect that even Hogwarts' Nightmare Horse Carriage was raised by him.

"I thought Hagrid raised them," Harry laughed, leaning back in the carriage seat.

"Hagrid indeed has the responsibility to care for them, after all, it's impossible for me to come to Hogwarts solely to care for them," Newt lowered his head and laughed, "but to take care of Auntie Pabi, I can come to Hogwarts as a professor."

"Having family like you around, I'm sure Pabi would be happy," Vivi said softly, "at least among the people she knew back then, there was Theseus... you're also a close nephew to her."

"Don't you also have Gael?" Harry nudged her elbow.

Vivi smiled without answering, she was actually referring to Cassandra.

Only Cassandra, with her father and brother both deceased, has no familiar faces in this world a hundred years later—except Harry and herself.

The Nightmare Horse Carriage started and soared into the sky.

Yet inside the carriage, it was as steady as the ground.

Magic is truly amazing.

They flew from morning until afternoon, arriving at the outskirts of Nimongard Castle.

"I think you should go back, Professor Scamander," Vivi said to Newt after getting off the carriage, "after all, this is a personal matter between me and Gael, I hope you understand."

"Alright, but if there's anything, you can call me anytime." Newt said lowering his head, "I'll head back now."

"Thank you, Professor Scamander." Vivi curtsied.

"Um, goodbye, Professor Scamander." Harry waved at him.

Nimongard Castle is not tightly guarded, at least they walked to the castle's edge without seeing any Austrian Ministry of Magic personnel guarding it.

As they approached the entrance, two suited men appeared in front of them.

"This is not a place you should be, young wizard," they said politely.

They hadn't come to intercept, thinking these two were Muggles who had wandered in.

After all, the area around the castle is under the Muggle Confusion Spell; those without magic power cannot see the castle.

But as they walked toward the gate, the guards finally confirmed their identities.

Not Muggles, seemingly young wizards who wandered here by mistake.

"I am here looking for someone," Vivi said softly.

"There's no one you're looking for here," the wizard opposite frowned, "you look like students? Go back quickly!"

"The person I'm looking for is Gellert Grindelwald," Vivi said again, "if you know where he is being held, take me to him."

"Gellert Grindelwald is a high-security prisoner of the Ministry of Magic, no outside visitation is allowed," the wizards said in unison, "students from Durmstrang, I need to remind you, don't make idolizing a Dark Wizard a rebellious display; it is not cool."

"Can't I even visit my younger brother?" Vivi said softly, pulling out her Magic Wand.

"What younger brother?" The two wizards felt teased; this girl standing before them is at most sixteen or seventeen and comes to Nimongard specifically asking to visit Gellert Grindelwald, claiming he's her brother?

Are you playing with us?

"From the Ministry of Magic, Harry," Vivi drew her Magic Wand, "Expelliarmus!"

Vivi's implication was understood by Harry—Ministry of Magic personnel, use White Magic whenever possible.

Harry followed Vivi's lead and disarmed the other wizard.
