(From the end of the last chapter)
...Grindelwald raised his head in a moment of triumphant laughter. "Of course, it all makes sense now." He said at last. "Truly I did not envision my escape this day, and I shall not forget your small part in how this has played out. I will spare you for now." The disheveled looking man shot back just a cryptic reply. "He seeks something I held in my possession until just recently. I know longer have it and neither does this new Voldemort." He hissed slightly at the name, what a trope. "You would not believe me even if I told you, your knowledge of magic is too shallow." He drew himself back upon the damp grass and bowed to the Aurors he had defeated. "Until we meet again, my friends." He said, after which he disapparated.
END OF THE CHAPTER.
Penelope, Edmund, Mathis and Glenn were left standing in the middle of the prison complex. Glenn and Penelope had burns covering the exposed skin on their arms and hands - Edmund's wand lay at his feet and Mathis seemed to be bleeding, or there was blood on him...it was difficult to tell whose it was. Half a dozen guards lay dead across the courtyard, in various states of bleeding and exploded flesh. Sirens were still blaring, soon more of the Romanian authorities would be showing up.
