Grindelwald sped through the night, curses whizzing past from behind him. He should have been more careful, but his arrogance had assumed control of his mind. He had been told by one of his followers. that a certain wizard possessed information on the whereabouts of one of the Hallows. Of course most people didn't know that Grindelwald was obsessed with the Hallows; the wizard thought it was just a powerful cloak that Grindelwald had been interested in. But nevertheless, they had traveled with haste to Germany in hopes that the man would still reside there. However, Grendelwald was infuriated to find that there was no man; his follower was a double agent. He had led him into a trap.
As soon as Grindelwald and his followers had stepped foot inside the large German manor, flashes of light began erupting from the darkness within as wizards began throwing curses and spells forth at he and his followers. And in the midst of the chaos a voice arose shouting loudly with his magicked vocal chords, "We are aurors from the International Confederation of Wizards! Lower your wands and admit to Stupefication and your sentence will be reduced!"
Grindelwald and his followers left the place immediately, though many of his men were stunned. They all took off in separate directions after hastily mounting their brooms and kicking off. For a moment it seemed Grindelwald had gotten away unsullied, but within minutes he saw the aurors behind him. There were half a dozen of them cloaked in dark green robes.
Gellert felt not an ounce of fear, for all his emotions were over run with anger. How could he have been so naive? He should have known that ignorant pest was a rat; he'd only been following Grindelwald for a little under two months. His love for the Hallows had betrayed him. But not to worry, next time he would be more careful...
The aurors had finally given up on trying to hex him after repeatedly missing him. Then quite suddenly, while Grendelwald was still in deep thought, he noticed that the group of aurors split in half. Three went around a large forest to their left and disappeared from view. The other three remained behind him.
On and on they flew, for what seemed like hours. All the while Grindelwald was consumed with anger. His pride was injured, how could one such as he have fallen for such a simple trick. He was so blinded with his raw emotions that he almost hadn't noticed the three aurors that came up in front of him over a large hill. But as soon as he saw them he became alert instantaneously.
Instinctively, Grindelwald dived down as the curses passed through the air that he had just previously inhabited. He looked up into the sky and the three aurors in front of him and the three behind him were now descending and closing in on him. He looked any where for an escape, when he spotted a small rising to his left. He quickly flew to it and then dismounted; here he would make his stand.
The aurors slowed and cautiously approached. When they were forty feet away they too dismounted, one group on his left and one on his right. They all had their wands raised as they approached him with care. Grindelwald would have to attack first, for if he let them, they would surround him and attack in unison. He chose the left.
They came ever closer, wands still raised, and finally one of them spoke. "Gellert Grindelwald, we'll give you one chance to come quietly!" the auror said while still slowly advancing. Turning to his left in a flash, Grindelwald's wand suddenly issued a burst of silver light. It illuminated the sky momentarily while also surprising the aurors. Immediately after, Grindelwald hit the nearest of the three on his left with a killing curse. Two loud bangs in less than a seconds time.
"Accio Wand!" Grindelwald shouted aloud, for he grew too excited to hold it all in his mind. The fallen wizard's wand zoomed through the air and into his free hand. He quickly pointed the new wand at the group on the right, and with it he conjured one of his favorite and most powerful protective charms; a large blubbery half dome that remained suspended in mid-air, catching all of the curses and spells coming from his right.
His Elder Wand remained pointed to his left and he began violently slashing the air with it, purple rays of light flew themselves at the two aurors still standing, penetrating them and knocking them to the ground where, once they fell, they never moved again.
Grindelwald turned to his right and smiled. It was over now. He waved the new wand and the half dome disappeared. And in a matter of two seconds, the three wizards on the right lay dead thanks to Avada Kedavra.
After the noise of the strangely windy curses had subsided, Gellert walked slowly back to his broom and mounted, kicking off softly, and letting the auror's wand drop from his hand as he did so. He put the Elder Wand back in his robes and then sped off into the night in search of his followers.
Grindelwald felt invincible. He held another victory and now almost nothing could stand in his way. But then he began to think to himself as the hair rushed passed his ears in the night sky... The International Confederation of Wizards... If they were on his case then surely it was only a matter of time before his fear was realized, though he wondered if Albus had the strength to face his demons..but regardless, it seemed he'd find out soon enough...
