Chapter 587: Recruiting Gellert Grindelwald - A Trapped Lord of Azkaban!!!
Austrian Alps,
Just as Draco Malfoy left to get a first-hand measure of Harry Potter, and the Mudblood he was traveling with, a sinister event was taking place in another part of the world.
Surrounded by snow and stony peaks, a grim fortress stood at the edge of a mountain; its high walls aged, cold, and made of black rocks.
Among the various buildings, courtyard, and small houses, the cone-topped tower stood out like a thumb, its peak reaching for the sky.
Once acted as the Headquarters of the Dark Alliance during the Global Wizarding War, the fortress was built upon the orders of one of the greatest and the darkest wizards known throughout the wizarding communities of the world.
Gellert Grindelwald!
In the list of Most Dangerous Dark Wizards of All Time, he would miss out on the top spot only because Lord Voldemort arrived, a generation later, to steal his crown.
Now, he was imprisoned in his very own creation for the last 46 years; in this forbidding behemoth.
Nurmengard Castle!!
In name, this colossal structure was a prison, but it held only one prisoner.
Moreover, despite having no guards, Nurmengard Castle was the most secure prison in the world, every inch of its ominous walls and roofs being covered in magic.
