Hogwarts: I, The Strongest Dark Lord In History!

Hermione pulled Lucas and ran from the eighth floor to the foyer in one breath.

Wait for the two to enter the familiar basement.

Lucas seemed to think of something.

Hogwarts has three paths leading to the basement.

One leads to the Slytherin common room.

The other leads to the Potions classroom and Professor Snape's office.

These two roads have a common characteristic, that is, they are very dark.

But the last path was different.

It's brightly lit.

Even the portraits on the wall are warm colors.

Lucas hadn't been in the kitchen since the end of second grade.

Perhaps it was affected by the Chamber of Secrets incident.

Most of the previous fruit or food portraits have been replaced.

Instead, there are portraits with surveillance functions.

"Hermione, where the hell are you taking me?"

Lucas asked the little witch with a puzzled look.

The other party still didn't say anything, just pulled him along the road.

Until the two came to the kitchen door.

"Honey, I'll show you a magical place.

Hermione was like a child who discovered a treasure, eager to share it with Lucas.

Lucas also showed an interested expression in cooperation.

This makes the little witch very useful.

"Look, it's amazing."

Hermione turned around to the huge portrait and scratched the pears in the bowl.

Pear giggled a few times.

A green doorknob suddenly appeared on the other side of the portrait.

"Well, isn't it amazing?"

Seeing Lucas nod.

Hermione took his hand and said, "Come in, it's even more magical inside."

The kitchen is still the same.

Large room, neatly placed copper pots and basins.

Meticulously distinguish the ingredients of 090.

And house-elves who are always hard at work.

I noticed someone coming in.

The elf immediately looked towards the door.

They were ready to say hello when they saw Lucas.

But seeing Lucas signal them to pretend not to know themselves.

Many elves covered their mouths with their hands.

"What's wrong with them?"

"Maybe we broke in suddenly and frightened them.

Hermione nodded knowingly.

"Honey, I never knew there were so many house-elves in Hogwarts."

"It turns out that they make the food we eat every day, tidy the lounge, change the sheets and so on.

Seeing the little witch frowning slightly, Lucas suddenly had a bad premonition.

really.

Hermione took out a book made of parchment from inside the wizard's robe.

"Honey, I just talked to them a long time ago, and I just realized that house-elves don't get paid.

"Not only do they have no wages, they don't even have holidays. Because of the contract, they have to serve wizard families for generations."

"It's too bad, isn't it slaves? I think the conditions and nature of their work must be improved, at least for paid work, what do you think?"

Seeing the little witch casting a questioning look at herself.

Lucas thought for a moment and said, "Honey, you know I'll support you in anything.

As he spoke, he wrote his name on the parchment and expressed his attitude with practical actions.

The little witch who received support and understanding was very happy.

She looked at the names on the notebook and said, "I'll go find Qiu and Ginny when I get back.

"Honey, listen to me first."

Seeing that she was turning to leave, Lucas quickly reached out to stop her.

I saw him take out a book from behind his back as if by magic.

There was a little doubt in Hermione's eyes.

"What is this book?"

"The Encyclopedia of Goblins, I know you're doing it for the house-elves' good, but you need to understand why they are like this first."

The little witch took the encyclopedia and turned to glance at the elves beside her.

They wear uniforms and wear tea towels with the Hogwarts crest on them.

When they noticed that Hermione was looking at herself.

Immediately raised a smiling face, greeted Hermione enthusiastically.

Some elves even curtseyed.

This made Hermione very uncomfortable.

"Let's go out first!"

The two returned to the hall and went to the garden outside to enjoy the bright moon in the sky.

Lucas used his wand to conjure a wide, large woolen blanket.

He wrapped himself in a blanket and held the little witch in his arms.

"Honey, house elves are not just a contract. The concept they have accepted for thousands of years is to serve wizard families unconditionally."

"Just as we think that work should be paid, they think that their work should be unconditional."

"This kind of concept is deeply rooted and cannot be easily shaken. Even your proposal will be resisted by the elves.

"Why?" Hermione didn't understand.

She thought the elf should be grateful for her doing so.

"That's why I let you read that book, you don't know enough about house elves, and your behavior is an insult to them in the eyes of elves.

Hermione frowned tightly, and spoke after a long time.

"Well, I'll take a deeper look, but I won't give up, I'll definitely find a suitable method.

"Of course, after you finish this book and think of a suitable method, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

"At that time, not only Qiu and I, but also Ginny, as well as all the students in Slytherin, including the saints, will support your decision.

Hermione snorted and smiled in satisfaction.

Lucas gently kissed the other person's forehead: "Then should we talk about another matter?"

"Anything else?" Hermione froze for a moment.

Then he looked at the dark environment around him, and his cheeks suddenly turned red.

"This, this is not good!"

"I was talking about the Yule Ball."

Hermione was taken aback again, raised her fist and hit Lucas lightly on the chest.

"Let you not make (agfg) clear."

A hearty laugh came from Lucas's mouth.

He hugged the little witch tightly until she was embarrassed by his smile.

"Hermione, sorry for ignoring your feelings for so long."

Hermione leaned her head down in Lucas' arms.

"I have prepared for this a long time ago. In fact, you don't have to blame yourself."

The little witch's voice was very small.

That being said.

But who is willing to give their beloved to others?

So Lucas has always felt very lucky and happy.

"But this time I should be more partial to you. They are right. You are the only one who can stand by my side at this time."

"Miss Hermione Granger, would you accept my invitation to be my dance partner?"

The moonlight enveloped the two of them.

Hermione looked up, smiling beautifully.

"It is my honor to receive your invitation, Mr. Lucas Grindelwald.

The little witch's voice was very soft, but clearly passed into Lucas' ears.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

slowly approached each other.

Wait until the two return to the castle.

Only then did a figure walk out from among the flowers in the distance.

Looking at the sturdy body, it looks like a bear.

Time always flies by.

In the blink of an eye, it's December.

There's only one week left until Christmas.

Hogwarts is decorated for Christmas.

Because it was Christmas with two other schools.

The Christmas atmosphere in the castle this time far exceeded previous years.

On the marble escalator, icicles that will never melt have been conjured by magic.

There are twelve Christmas trees in the auditorium.

The tree is not only decorated with many gadgets.

There are also several live golden owls perched on it.

The armor in the corridor is also enchanted.

As long as someone passes in front of them, the armor will sing Christmas carols.

affected by the environment and atmosphere.

How can the little wizard concentrate on class?

So most professors turn a blind eye.

The classroom becomes a place where everyone discusses the Yule Ball.

As time goes by day by day.

News about the Yule Ball came one after another.

For example, Dumbledore invited the famous music group Weird Sisters to sing.

Another example is that today someone saw the three broomsticks come to give mead.

Every time there is news.

Little wizards will be excited for a long time.

Except the savior classmate.

Because he has not found his own dance partner so far.

His good friend, Mr. Ronald · Weasley, is also in the same situation.

The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Harry, why don't we go outside and ask casually? With your status as a warrior, there should be many girls willing to be your dance partner."

"But I don't really want to dance with people I don't know."

Harry's answer was exactly what Ronald had in mind.

But the ball was just around the corner, and they couldn't allow them to pick and choose.

No matter how troubled the two are, how to escape.

Christmas is still here.

This year because of the prom.

None of the students above the fourth grade came home.

Everyone got up early in the morning and unwrapped each other's Christmas presents.

But all hearts have already flown to the dance in the evening.

Five p.m.

Lucas and the three daughters of Hermione ate something in the auditorium.

The three girls ate very little today.

Before Lucas finished eating, the three got up and prepared to leave.

"Let's go back and prepare first."

Lucas looked at the time, it was only five o'clock, and the dance didn't start until eight o'clock.

After three hours of preparation, what exactly are they going to prepare for?

After eating some more, Lucas also got up and returned to the dormitory.

Black velvet dress.

Some inconspicuous patterns are drawn on it with dark embroidery techniques.

The tall and straight Lucas looked even more handsome in this robe.

On the way to the auditorium, countless witches showed surprised expressions when they saw him.

soon.

He went outside the gate of the auditorium.

Warriors have a separate entry ceremony.

So he still needs to wait outside the door with others for the dance to start.

Just at this time.

There were bursts of exclamations from behind.

Even Furong and a group of female companions stared at Lucas in a daze. .
