Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

“Leaving aside everything else, I don't think the old guy will listen to any of this,” Tom scoffed. “Even if what you're saying makes a little bit of sense, why would he listen to you?”

Li Weide chuckled, “If I'm not mistaken, he's already been beaten into a state of depression. Otherwise, there's no way he could remain silent for so long. So, if he wants to break out of this situation, he'll most likely listen to me.”

Tom said, “If he's not making any moves, he's probably just recuperating, right? After all, his own forces suffered such a big blow. If I were him, I'd hide too.”

Li Weide smiled. “Even if he wants to prepare for recuperation, he still has to show his face. Otherwise, morale will collapse. Right now, those non-direct members of the Wizengamot on the periphery… Grindelwald focused on developing these people; they're the future of his own forces. But now, even these people are starting to panic, and he still hasn't appeared. If there isn't something wrong with his mental state, I'll stand on my head and wash my hair!”

“That's not a hundred percent certain…” Tom was still a little unconvinced.

“Tom, don't dwell on it. Even if he doesn't listen to me, what does it matter? Even if I'm wrong, what does it matter? Anyway, I haven't lost anything.” Li Weide waved his hand. “Besides, my chess pieces are already in place. Let time prove their effectiveness.”

In fact, those words were indeed what Li Weide told Grindelwald through Annie.

As for whether he listens or Annie didn't even pass on the message, it won't have any impact on Li Weide!

Of course, if he takes the advice and does something good… then Li Weide will profit.

To be able to make a world-renowned dark wizard start doing good deeds, how much merit would that be!

Thinking of merit points, Li Weide's originally pleasant mood immediately turned gloomy again.

He had thought that catching so many Wizengamot members would definitely earn him a fortune and allow him to directly upgrade the system.

But now… it's been so long since that was over! Why hasn't this 'payment' been allocated yet!

Looking at the more than 18,000 merit points displayed by the system, Li Weide gritted his teeth in hatred.

Tom originally wanted to say something, but when he suddenly saw Li Weide's expression change, he knew that this guy was angry about something again.

He quickly shut his mouth, fearing that he would become his punching bag again!

…

That evening, at the end-of-term banquet, Li Weide and Tom didn't see Annie.

It wasn't until very late that they saw her back view returning to the dormitory in the common room.

“Do you think she told that old guy what you said?” Tom asked.

“I don't know, but, as I said before, the chess pieces are already in place. We press the button for the next round and wait and see. Why think so much?” Li Weide said indifferently.

Tom didn't understand what Li Weide meant by pressing the button for the next round, but he could understand waiting and seeing.

However, although Li Weide didn't care, Tom was very curious about future developments.

He really wanted to know if Li Weide would be wrong this time!

Early the next morning, the students' suitcases appeared at their beds.

The house-elves had already helped them empty their cabinets.

After breakfast, everyone pushed their suitcases and boarded the Hogwarts Express, embarking on the journey home.

Li Weide and several core members of the mutual aid society occupied a large carriage.

“After signing that document, we can't use magic during the holidays?” Charlie said indignantly. “I really don't understand! What if my magic becomes rusty?”

“That document only targets Muggle-born students, Charlie…” Li Weide laughed.

“Why do you say that?” Charlie asked in astonishment.

“If you choose to practice magic in a wizarding community, the Ministry of Magic won't be able to tell,” Li Weide explained.

“Is that so?” Charlie turned to ask Henry and Alphard.

Alphard said helplessly, “Yes… Anyway, my sister never lays a hand on me when she beats me up at home during the holidays; she always uses magic… Sigh, I really don't want to go home. That place is too depressing…”

“You have to learn to resist, Alphard,” Henry said. “If you don't want to stay at home, you can come to my house as a guest. Anyway, my parents don't object to me being friends with pure-blood wizards.”

“That's true… If I go to your house, my parents definitely won't object. After all, I seem to have heard my parents say before that they wanted to marry my sister to you.”

“Wh… What?! Who? Walburga? No! I can't marry that shrew! She's a madwoman! Alphard, you can't repay kindness with evil!” Henry was almost frightened.

The Avery family is pure-blood, and the Black family is also pure-blood!

In order to maintain the so-called purity of blood, intermarriage is simply too common.

The more Henry thought about it, the more terrified he became, because this matter could really come true…

Alphard could only shrug and look at Henry helplessly.

In fact, Alphard couldn't even control his own future marriage, so how could he influence his sister's marriage?

Henry closed his eyes, feeling that his future was bleak.

“Alphard, you have to help me, it's good for you too! Think about it, you don't want to stay at home, that's why you came to my house... What if your sister marries over... In the future, when you come to my house, what's the difference between it and your own home?”

Alphard shuddered upon hearing this. “You're right! Henry! We must learn to resist!”

Henry asked with a delighted expression, “Then do you have any good ideas?”

Alphard thought for a moment, “How about you just castrate yourself! I'll go back and tell my parents that you can't do it, and then…”

“You son of a... Why don't you castrate yourself! Come on! Let's castrate each other! Then we won't be brothers anymore, we'll be sisters!”

The two began to grapple with each other.

Grylls McLaggen moved a little further away with a disgusted look on her face.

She looked at Levid and Tom and asked curiously, “Where do you live? During the holidays, maybe we can arrange a time to practice magic together or something!”

Levid and Tom both shook their heads.

They couldn't casually reveal their addresses.

Tom said, “We don't plan to practice magic this holiday. We will strictly abide by the regulations of the Ministry of Magic.”

Levid almost laughed out loud upon hearing this.

Although he knew that Tom was saying this to reject Grylls' invitation.

But hearing the future Voldemort say that he would abide by the regulations of the Ministry of Magic still felt inexplicably amusing.

“I don't believe it!” Grylls pouted and said, “You three can violate hundreds of school rules at school, how can you abide by the regulations of the Ministry of Magic at home?”

As Grylls spoke, she glanced at Annie next to her and noticed that she seemed very depressed. “Huh? Why haven't you said anything?”

“It's nothing, I'm just a little tired.” Annie forced a smile.

“Okay... It seems this summer will be very boring!” Grylls said helplessly.

She originally thought that she could play with these classmates during the holidays, but it seemed that they all had their own things to do…

…

Nurmengard.

Grindelwald looked at the notebook in front of him and remained silent for a long time.

Even the wax dripping from the candle next to him seemed to go unnoticed.

“Sir?” Vita looked at Grindelwald with concern.

“What's wrong? Vita?” Grindelwald raised his head, looking at Vita with bloodshot eyes.

“Olive and the others... are going to be judged tonight…” Vita said hesitantly.

“Oh…” Grindelwald said, without any reaction, and continued to look down at the notebook.

Seeing Grindelwald like this, Vita knew that he might not realize the importance of the matter.

“Many countries' Ministries of Magic have sent representatives to serve as jurors… Many of these people have suffered at our hands! So… they might… might not have a good ending tonight.”

“Is that so?” Grindelwald still replied indifferently.

Vita sighed and decided to ask directly, “They might die, so, should we take some action? Like rescuing them…”

Grindelwald finally raised his head again, but Vita was surprised to find that although Grindelwald was now mentally exhausted and his eyes were bloodshot, he seemed very excited.

“Dumbledore will definitely be there, we can't rescue anyone! Vita!”

“Then… we're not going to save them?”

Grindelwald was silent for a while before saying, “The people will remember them.”

“The people? Who?” Vita was a little confused.

“There's no revolution without bloodshed…” Grindelwald whispered.

Vita sighed softly before saying, “I understand…”

She knew that those Death Eaters could be said to be dead after tonight's trial.

The evidence was conclusive, and the jury came with grudges…

But she couldn't blame Grindelwald for not saving them.

If it were before, Grindelwald might still be able to try, but now…

Dumbledore's strength has soared, and he also possesses the Elder Wand… They have no chance!

Those who go to rescue will leave behind as many as they send…

This is reality, even if it's cruel…

Vita didn't actually feel sorry for those people, she was just glad… because she almost became one of the people being tried tonight.

After Vita left.

Grindelwald continued to look at the notebook in front of him, muttering to himself, “The more crimes that can be judged… the better… The more poisonous blood that is squeezed out, the safer I will be… I'm sorry, but I will remember you…”

…

The next morning, Levid stretched and came to the dining table, ready to have breakfast.

Suddenly, his body froze because he found that his merit balance had increased by a full 50,000 merit points!

Levid, who had turned off the system notification sound, had no idea what had happened.

Until he sat at the dining table and saw the Daily Prophet that Toby had prepared for him.

【…25 Death Eaters were all sentenced. Among them, 5 were sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban, and 20 were sentenced to the “Dementor's Kiss”, which was carried out at Azkaban at three in the morning…】

“So that's what happened…”
