Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Chapter 180: Not… You, without a nose, have you also betrayed the revolution?

“Who am I fighting for… Who is my wand waving for…” Tom muttered, repeating Leivde's words.

Leivde didn't say anything more, he just silently took out the floating teapot and teacup, and then sat aside to drink tea.

He didn't pour tea for Tom, because he knew that Tom wouldn't be able to bother drinking for a while…

He didn't know how long it had passed, but when Leivde felt his stomach was full of tea and even the Aurors began to leave work, Tom finally came back to his senses from his contemplation.

From the constantly jumping balance of merit points on the system interface, it could be seen that some changes that he didn't know about might have occurred in Tom's mind…

Tom turned his head and asked, "So… Dumbledore didn't lie to us in the beginning… This… is this the magic of love?"

The tea in Leivde's mouth almost sprayed out. Voldemort wasn't researching dark magic anymore, and instead asked him about the magic of love?

You, without a nose, have you also betrayed the revolution!?

“Maybe it is, I haven’t experienced the changes you just went through, so I can’t explore what changes have taken place in your heart…” Leivde said perfunctorily.

“But… what is love? Why haven’t I felt it before… or even now? I just used spells as usual, and then… the feeling suddenly became different… I even used silent spells!” Tom frowned and said, “At that time, I felt that even without a wand, I could use magic! This… I don’t know what kind of feeling that is…”

“This is a very profound question, Tom… I believe that everyone has a different answer to this, because everyone’s desired happiness is different. Even if you ask Professor Dumbledore, he can only tell you his own feelings, and there is no way to summarize it… Moreover, maybe you haven’t not felt love, but have ignored this feeling.”

Tom looked a little disappointed when he heard this. He felt that he seemed to be grasping the trick… It was the trick he most wanted to grasp when practicing spells… But now, it seemed that there was no way to find that feeling back!

Seeing Tom so disappointed, Leivde pondered for a while before continuing to fool him, “Personally, I feel that so-called love… is when you suddenly have something you care about… Of course, I mean something other than yourself. Well… then because you care, your thoughts will be drawn by this thing, you will be happy for it, and you will be sad for it… Of course, the most important thing is that you will not let anyone hurt it… If someone wants to hurt it, then… it’s time for you to pick up your wand… I think, the gathering of all your emotions for this kind of thing is the expression of love.”

As Leivde spoke, Tom's eyes became brighter and brighter, “I… I seem to feel it again… that kind of… that kind of feeling… that feeling just now! Yes… I understand! What I cared about most just now… what I was most unwilling to lose… family? Affection? Then…”

As Tom said, he stretched out his hand, and in his palm was a dead branch that he had just picked up from the ground.

But in the next second, the dead branch gradually turned into an exquisite flower!

The flower bloomed brilliantly in Tom's palm…

However, even Leivde, who was once a biologist, couldn't recognize the species of this flower.

Because this originally did not exist in this world, it was Tom's transfiguration that changed it at will!

Leivde was very sure that before tonight, Tom's transfiguration could never have done this!

Even if his talent was several times stronger than his peers, at this age, he could only turn a mouse into a goblet at most.

But now… he can conjure a flower that doesn't exist in the first place at will without a wand!

So… you also had an epiphany, didn't you? Tom? Just like Dumbledore?

Leivde felt numb. God, he was really just talking nonsense just now!

In order to maintain his persona, and then casually fool Tom!

Unexpectedly, Tom actually listened! And also…

When will someone give me such an epiphany?

Wait a minute! Tom just had an epiphany about the magic of love, right? Is there something wrong?!

Leivde quickly looked at his balance of merit points, and then saw that the balance was still jumping continuously…

This time, it seemed that the system settlement would take time, and it didn't add up all at once, but little by little!

It could be seen from this that tonight's incident had a great impact on Tom.

As everyone knows, as an important figure who can have a huge impact on the future, the greater the impact Tom receives, the greater the impact on the future…

Leivde moved his gaze away from the balance. The system couldn't convert it for a while, and Leivde felt his eyes were a little blurry from staring at it all the time.

He could only secretly pray that this thing wouldn't crash… It was already a half-finished broken system, what if it broke again…

“Thank you, Leivde…” Tom looked at the flower in his hand and thanked Leivde for the first time in his life.

“You’re welcome…” Leivde said weakly.

Tom looked at the flower in his hand, wanting to say something but stopping.

Leif suddenly jumped up, "If you dare send that flower over here, believe me, I'll shove it right up your nose!"

"Okay... it is a bit weird." Tom frowned.

Two straight steel men, what's with sending flowers?

"But, I really did become stronger because of your words..."

"Yeah... you really did get stronger, Tom... Honestly, I suddenly realized I have a knack for being a professor... How about I apply for a teaching position after graduation?" Leif said helplessly.

I just casually said a few words, and one after another... they all suddenly got enlightened or something. Is this some kind of immortal cultivation world? Maybe I really should become a professor or something?

If only I could get enlightened sometime too...

Hmph... magic really is subjective!

"Leif, of course, you can apply for a teaching position. I've never seen a child as talented as you to be a professor. If I'm still at Hogwarts when you graduate, I'll be very happy to have you! How about teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts? I always feel like this position will be in short supply in the future..." Dumbledore appeared in front of the two.

According to Leif's understanding of this old guy, he must have been eavesdropping here for a long time!

Leif was frantically recalling whether there was anything against the rules in the conversation just now, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Tom even more guiltily threw the flower into the flowerbed...

Obviously, he thought so too.

The words he said to Leif just now might have directly exposed the fact that he just used dark magic!

If Dumbledore heard it...

How could he not feel guilty?

Suddenly, another voice came from the side.

"Such a beautiful flower, just throwing it away like that, wouldn't it be a pity?"

Dumbledore's pleasant expression disappeared instantly, because the person who came was Grindelwald...

Grindelwald gently beckoned, and the gorgeous flower on the ground fell into his hand.

"Why are you here?" Dumbledore asked disdainfully.

"You, a professor, can come, why can't I, a legitimate senior official of the Ministry of Magic, come?"

Grindelwald lowered his head to smell the flower in his hand, then smiled and looked at Tom, as if he saw a pearl covered in dust suddenly shining!

"If I remember correctly, you're just the Director of the Education Department. The accident that happened here tonight should be under the jurisdiction of the Auror Office. What reason do you have to come here?" Dumbledore said dissatisfied.

Grindelwald casually pinned the flower in the upper pocket of his suit, and said with a smile: "As you said, I am the Director of the Education Department, and grasping education is my job... And here, there are two Hogwarts lower-grade students! One of them is even a victim! Isn't it normal for me to come and care about their psychological problems? What if they get scared and have psychological problems, wouldn't it affect their studies?"

Leif said in surprise: "Wow, the way you put it, it seems to make a lot of sense."

"Leif, don't learn bad things from him. You should stay away from him." Dumbledore said quickly.

"Learn bad things?" Grindelwald looked at him in surprise, then looked at the expensive suit on his body, "I'm now a senior official of the Ministry of Magic! If he learns from me, how can it be considered learning bad things? Leif is so talented in education, maybe he can replace me in the future and become the Director of the Education Department!"

"Is that so? Mr. Director? I thought you wanted him to take over something else..." Dumbledore retorted sharply.

"I think their future achievements will definitely be higher than mine... in all aspects," Grindelwald said meaningfully.

Worried that Leif will learn bad things from him? What a joke! He changed his methods and got to where he is now, the situation is great... all learned from Leif!

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Leif and Tom gasped at the same time. This old geezer actually said such things in front of Dumbledore! Isn't this putting the two of them on the fire to roast?

Dumbledore had just barely managed not to mention the use of dark magic! Now that Grindelwald said this, wouldn't Dumbledore remember everything!

This old man is really... very bad!

"If you hadn't carried out the so-called education reform, I would have been very confident in letting them grow up in the future." Dumbledore also refused to be outdone, and sarcastically retorted.

"Education reform? What is that?" Leif immediately seized the topic and hurriedly began to ask questions.

When else should he divert the topic if not now?

"Oh! Speaking of this education reform! I plan to incorporate the study of dark magic into the normal education process." Grindelwald smiled and said: "In this way, you don't have to secretly learn dark magic! There are professors to specially tutor you, even if you are learning dangerous dark magic, you don't have to worry about making mistakes..."

Leif and Tom were both dumbfounded. Didn't we agree not to mention dark magic?

Moreover, what's with you implying that we're learning dark magic? Are you afraid we haven't been caught?

Has this old geezer become so sly now?
