Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Seeing Tom's tragic death, Annie, who was hiding on the side, was shocked.

She really didn't expect that Tom, who seemed to have a bad temper on the surface, would resolutely decide to sacrifice himself for his friend at a critical moment, wanting to trade one life for Grindelwald's…

As for Leander's behavior… she really couldn't comment on it.

A very typical Slytherin behavior…

Anyway, if it were her, she would have surrendered directly when Grindelwald said he would share half of his magical power with them.

Of course, it would be impossible to end up like Leander, needing a friend to risk his life for him…

In fact, she really didn't understand why Leander didn't agree to Grindelwald's suggestion.

Mr. Grindelwald didn't even ask them to join openly!

He even said that joining secretly was fine! He also said that even if the revolution failed in the future, it wouldn't implicate them, as long as they agreed, they would get half of his magical power!

Such a good thing, why didn't Leander agree? If he didn't agree, he shouldn't have kept provoking Grindelwald!

In the end, he implicated Tom, causing his tragic death…

However… Annie remembered the way Tom resolutely detonated the poison gas bomb just now.

She suddenly became a little uncertain again.

Tom was willing to trade his own life for Grindelwald's, so even if Leander agreed to join, would Tom agree?

She still remembered that just now, when Grindelwald extended an olive branch to them, Tom, who had been standing beside her, spat and cursed, calling it disgusting.

It seemed that not only Leander, but Tom was also very disgusted with Mr. Grindelwald…

While Annie was thinking wildly, Leander once again heard Grindelwald's recruitment speech.

The smile on his face gradually faded, "You killed my beloved friends, and you still want me to join you? Do you think that's reasonable? Do you think everyone is as cold-blooded and ruthless as you?"

Grindelwald: "Huh?"

Hearing Leander's question, Grindelwald was now a little speechless.

"It seems that you are not only cruel, but also have an unusually thick skin… Cold-blooded and ruthless, the one who killed your own beloved friends is you, isn't it? What does it have to do with me? If you could put down your wand and give up resisting, would he have committed suicide?" Grindelwald said helplessly.

"Yes! The moment he was captured by you, the ending was already destined!" Leander said in a firm and sorrowful tone. "He knew that I would never surrender, and he also knew that he could not escape from your hands, so… in order not to embarrass me, he made what he thought was the most correct choice! He chose to perish with you… It's just a pity…"

"Hiss… Something's not right… Wait a minute… Let me sort things out… Why do I always feel like something is wrong? I'm actually starting to think you're making sense?"

Grindelwald frowned and couldn't help but scratch his head. He now felt that his brain was a little confused.

Leander was now speaking righteously, but he subconsciously felt that Leander was definitely not such an upright person!

Leander said coldly: "Don't you understand? Whether it's me or Tom, we would rather die than join your command. We are unwilling to surrender in front of you! We both understand each other's intentions, so when Tom was captured, even if I was heartbroken, I couldn't save him… If I really knelt down and surrendered to you in order to save him, then Tom would really blame me! Facts have proved that I was right… Tom, in order not to affect me, resolutely chose to perish with you… He has already done this, how can I be worthy of Tom's heroic sacrifice if I join you as if nothing happened?"

Grindelwald said: "Then why did you shout about giving him a grand funeral just now, and burning paper money for him next year… Doesn't it look quite pleasant? I can't see any sad expression on your face."

"If I can侥幸 survive in your hands, then what's wrong with giving the heroically sacrificed Tom a grand funeral and burning paper money for him? What's wrong with showing a smiling face to the dying Tom instead of a crying face?" Leander continued to say sadly: "If I can't survive in your hands, then it doesn't matter whether it's a crying face or a smiling face, we will embark on another great journey called death together. Forget it, why am I talking nonsense with you? You have never had such sincere friendship, you will not understand."

Grindelwald: "?"

Sometimes, he felt that Leander was quite excessive… You can talk about your own affairs, why do you keep poking at my scars?

At this time, Annie was dumbfounded.

So that's how it is? It's not that Leander betrayed Tom, but that the two good friends had a tacit understanding and fulfilled each other?

Such touching friendship actually exists…

Annie felt for the first time that her most respected Mr. Grindelwald was like a big villain…

"But I have already clearly stated that I will not harm you two… That is to say, even if you don't join me, as long as you put down your weapons and don't interfere with my goals, and just watch from the side, I won't touch a hair on your heads." Grindelwald was speechless. He had made these things very clear from the beginning, but these two foolish kids insisted on fighting him to the death.

"Is that so? If Tom hadn't detonated the poison gas bomb just now, he would have been killed by you, right?" Leander sneered.

Grindelwald was speechless for a moment. He had indeed had the intention to kill just now.

But at least he didn't have the intention to kill at the beginning!

"We will not believe the words of a black wizard with a bad record, and… we will not allow a black wizard to achieve their ulterior motives." Leander suddenly said righteously again.

Grindelwald couldn't help but widen his eyes again, "No, you just said that killing me was to monopolize that magical power…"

"Who stipulated that good people must tell the truth? Can't I lie to you, this black wizard? I'm doing this to stabilize you! It's useless to say more! Come on, let's fight, I would rather die in battle than drop my wand and bow down! Expelliarmus!"

"Huh? Something's not right…" After Grindelwald dodged the Disarming Charm, he keenly noticed Leander's abnormality, because this kid actually wasn't using dark magic anymore!

The only thing that could make this kid suddenly stop using dark magic and start saying nice things constantly was… only one possibility…

"You didn't disappoint me, Leander…"

A familiar voice came from behind Grindelwald.

Grindelwald turned his head suddenly, just in time to see Dumbledore standing at the entrance of the secret passage, and on his shoulder was standing a fiery red bird.

A phoenix…

Grindelwald narrowed his eyes slightly. He had ultimately miscalculated this phoenix.

To be precise, he had miscalculated that Leander could actually get the phoenix to send him a message…

With the phoenix, even if the Magical Congress of the United States was sealed off, even if Hogwarts had anti-apparition magic, it could bring Dumbledore back to Hogwarts quickly…

Because the phoenix's apparition ignores anti-apparition magic.

"When did you come back?" Grindelwald asked expressionlessly.

"When you said my student was cruel and started recruiting him… So, I probably already know what happened before…" Dumbledore's gaze looked at Tom lying on the ground, his eyes showing sadness. "So… you killed my student? Tom… he was a good kid…"

"No, I didn't." Grindelwald panicked for no reason, "He committed suicide…"

"But you held my student hostage and forced my other student to give up resisting…" Dumbledore said coldly, "He died because of you, Grindelwald…"

When Grindelwald heard Dumbledore say this, he knew that there was nothing to say between Dumbledore and himself.

Because he had already defined his behavior.

"Leander… take Tom and wait for me on the side for a while, after I finish dealing with things here, we will…" When Dumbledore said this, his eyes were already a little wet.

He also didn't expect that this child who used to run rampant in the orphanage would have such a high level of awareness in the face of great right and wrong.

"Okay…" Leander also felt relieved at this time. From the moment Dumbledore arrived, his plan was perfectly completed.

Everything that followed could be left to Dumbledore to deal with.

Leander trotted to Tom, and while squatting down with his back to Dumbledore and Grindelwald, a ball of white ointment appeared in his right hand.

He quietly smeared the ointment on Tom's nose…

Then Tom suddenly opened his eyes, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he began to vomit frantically.

"Ugh! Leander! Did you secretly feed me shit just now?! It stinks!"

When Tom said this, everyone present looked over in shock.

Dead people don't talk…

When Grindelwald heard Tom speak, his heart inexplicably relaxed without even realizing it…

"Hey, Tom, you don't even invert my name when you call me now, that's a great improvement. You can call me that from now on." Leander said cheerfully.

"Huh?" Tom glanced at the surrounding situation, and then suddenly remembered that he had inhaled Leander's poison gas just now!

"Leander, those things you gave me before…"

However, before Tom could finish his accusatory words, he heard Leander's voice transmitted through the whispering charm.

"Remember, what you used just now was, from beginning to end, just a sleeping draught. Not a poison… If you talk nonsense, I will really let you die heroically!"

"Uh… cough cough…" Tom's eyes immediately cleared up, and he immediately changed the words that came to his mouth. "…Those sleeping draughts you gave me before were really strong, my head still hurts a little."
