Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"I knew you weren't someone content with mediocrity! Vede!" Tom didn't expect that he would really guess Levid's thoughts, and he felt a little excited.

"Of course! Tom... honestly, if you had abilities like mine, would you be content with mediocrity?" Levid said lightly.

"Of course not! If I had abilities like yours, I would turn this world upside down!" A glint of red flashed in Tom's eyes, "Of course, I wouldn't use such roundabout methods as you! As long as I have enough power... I prefer to crush them with strength!"

Levid curled his lip. Tom was still the same Tom. Although he had changed a bit, still...

The ambitious Tom is still a major concern for the wizarding world and Dumbledore in the future...

Also... how could an evil imp change so easily?

The current Tom can't develop for the time being, just because there is me, an even more "evil" imp, suppressing him!

"Tom, crushing with strength can bring temporary satisfaction, but if you really do that, you will only gain countless enemies!" Levid said.

"If I have that strength, would I still be afraid of enemies?" Tom said disdainfully.

Levid shook his head and said: "This is a typical example of putting the core of power on the person with absolute strength... which is you. Once you are gone, everything you have built will be as vulnerable as an ant nest encountering a flood."

"As long as I don't die, wouldn't that be fine?" Tom said confidently, "With that strength, who can do anything to me?"

"That's not how it works, Tom. When you have so many enemies that you are overwhelmed, you will know how difficult it is. You wouldn't naively think that enemies will challenge you face to face, would you?"

Tom fell silent immediately after hearing this. With absolute strength, he could indeed crush everything, but what if the other party didn't confront him head-on?

Although it is always said that as long as you have strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers, but... even if others can't do anything to you, some of the things you have worked so hard to build are fragile...

If I am always busy rebuilding, I will be annoyed to death sooner or later!

Moreover, there are many ways to stab someone in the back. Even with extraordinary strength, it is difficult to guarantee that you won't be tricked one day...

"Therefore, even if I have great strength, I will not rely on it too much. To achieve great things, you have to make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible... In this way, even if an enemy wants to play tricks, you won't have to deal with it alone... Even if one day I am too busy to take care of it, or simply disappear, everything I have created can still operate in an orderly manner..."

Tom suddenly looked at him straightly, "So, what you said about making as few enemies as possible and as many friends as possible also includes turning Grindelwald into a friend?"

Levid smiled and said, "There are no eternal friends, and no eternal enemies... If it is beneficial to each other... why can't enemies become friends?"

"Just like you and me?" Tom's eyes were sharp.

Levid laughed even louder.

"Yes... just like you and me, even if I know you are a poisonous snake who might bite me at any time. But, you are useful to me, so I will let you be my friend. Well... the most sincere friend!"

"What use am I to you?" Tom frowned. "Although I probably shouldn't say this, but... if I were you, I would definitely not keep me... and teach me so many things!"

"Of course you are very useful, Tom!" Levid said as a matter of course.

Don't underestimate the role of a merit point piggy bank! Of course, this cannot be said...

"What is the specific use?"

"Your talent can be used by me, Tom... that's all," Levid said, as if he had lost interest in talking, and walked towards his room with his wand.

Tom looked at Levid's back, his eyes gloomy.

He always felt that Levid kept him for ulterior motives!

What kind of role do I play in his plan?

Really, as he said, he just needs my talent?

Or is it... that I am just one of his plans... a sacrifice that needs to be sacrificed?

The more Tom thought about it, the more frightened he became.

This guy Levid is too scary...

...

Tom soon received another letter from the Ministry of Magic.

This time it was not a warning letter, but a notice canceling his expulsion punishment. In addition, it also included a brief apology letter from the Ministry of Magic.

At the same time, the Daily Prophet reported on Levid's invention of the Flying Charm.

By the way, the fact that his friend Tom was almost expelled because of this was also published as an anecdote.

The picture in the newspaper showed a Ministry of Magic official flying around in a room in the Ministry of Magic without the aid of any magical tools...

With Dumbledore's guarantee, and with pictures to prove it, people basically didn't doubt the authenticity of the Flying Charm much.

People couldn't find Levid hiding in the safe house for the time being, so they had to send letters to Dumbledore.

Everyone strongly suggested that Dumbledore could announce the incantation of this magical spell.

However, Dumbledore had not yet responded, and the Ministry of Magic had already come forward.

The Ministry of Magic claimed that they were discussing whether to officially put this spell under supervision, just like supervising the Undetectable Extension Charm.

Without a doubt, this spell will be another common way for wizards to travel after the flying broomstick.

However, since this magic is still somewhat dangerous, after all, if the magic power is not enough and you fall, the consequences will be disastrous.

In the long run, this spell is actually not as safe as a flying broomstick.

Worrying about these unreliable wizards being killed by falling is only part of the Ministry of Magic's concerns.

The most important thing is that this thing can violate the International Statute of Secrecy at any time...

Everyone can imagine how shocked Muggles would be when they see a person suddenly take off, or see a person falling from a high altitude...

In that case, in order to maintain the International Statute of Secrecy, the Ministries of Magic of various countries would have to pay more manpower and material resources...

In the end, some people even suggested that to use this spell, you need to pass a specific exam, and then get a certificate issued by the Ministry of Magic, before you can legally learn and use it, just like taking the Apparition exam.

Without a doubt, a first, a content, a look!

For a time, there was endless debate within the Ministry of Magic over this issue.

However, Dumbledore finally found time to get out of the letter offensive.

In fact, judging from the working efficiency of the Ministry of Magic, the results of the discussion will take a long time to come out...

In other words, Dumbledore, who has returned to peace, can be comfortable for a long time.

However, the public opinion storm caused by the genius boy was soon drowned out by the wave caused by another incident.

"Grindelwald surrendered himself? I didn't see it wrong, did I?"

All wizards who subscribed to the Daily Prophet saw this shocking news!

For a time, people cheered!

Grindelwald has caused such a big wave in Europe, and people have long been panicking.

At this time, he surrendered himself. Doesn't that mean that the war he launched... is over?

People attributed the reason for Grindelwald's surrender to Dumbledore.

Because the last time he defeated Grindelwald at Hogwarts and arrested many Pure-blood Party members, people are still talking about it.

And the news that those Pure-blood Party members were severely sentenced has only just passed!

Without a doubt, Grindelwald's sudden surrender is definitely inseparable from these things!

However, this news made Dumbledore extremely vigilant...

He knew that his old friend would never surrender so easily.

If Grindelwald really wanted to repent and surrender, he would have surrendered directly at Hogwarts!

However, Grindelwald at that time directly chose to escape, and even made harsh remarks before leaving...

Moreover, although the last time he superficially severely damaged Grindelwald's power.

However, his base camp was not greatly damaged.

What's more, the Magical Congress of the United States has been seriously infiltrated, and President Picquery is still racking his brains to identify who is a Pure-blood Party member.

In this situation that is not considered a headwind, directly surrender?

Dumbledore keenly felt that his old friend must have a new conspiracy!

Sure enough, Grindelwald chose to surrender himself to the Austrian Ministry of Magic...

Everyone knows that Nurmengard is located in Austria, which shows who is the real person in power in the Austrian Ministry of Magic.

Therefore, Grindelwald easily held a press conference for wizards all over the world during his "imprisonment".

Moreover, when facing questions from reporters, Grindelwald specifically clarified one point.

That is, he is not "surrendering" as rumored by the outside world, but is coming out to clarify some "misunderstandings", some misunderstandings of him by the world!

"...In the past, people always pushed many crimes on me for no reason. Because my name is Gellert Grindelwald! Just because I advocated for some rights that should belong to us wizards! But, I am not a trash can for their dirty sins! In order to clear these unwarranted charges from my name, I choose to cooperate with your wishes and accept your trial! Even if I deeply understand my innocence... If everyone thinks I am guilty! Then I have nothing to say, but if I regain my innocence! Then, those who spread rumors and slander me should pay attention! I will pick up the weapon of law to protect myself!"

Grindelwald's remarks caused an uproar among wizards all over the world.

Grindelwald accepted a public trial! But, he is confident that he can clear his name in the public trial?

How is that possible! A notorious terrorist actually wants to whitewash himself? Dream on!
