Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Nurmengard.

Grindelwald quietly put down the book in his hand.

In his recent contact with Annie, he learned some very interesting things.

The two children he was watching had already formed their own little group just a few days after starting school.

Although, to a large extent, they were forced by other pure-blood young wizards, it also shows the extraordinary nature of these two little fellows.

Most importantly, Leif seems to agree with some of his ideas?

Grindelwald stood up and looked out the window at the gloomy mountains.

"Those two children will have a huge impact on my career, that's what I can foresee. It's just a pity that I can't see whether the impact is positive or negative... Why is everything about them so vague?"

"Perhaps, I should actively contact those two children and try to get them to join us..."

The wind blew in from the window, extinguishing several of the candles on the table, instantly hiding Grindelwald's back in the darkness, flickering with the dim firelight of the fireplace...

......

Hogwarts.

Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore frowned as he looked at the fireplace in front of him.

The fireplace was burning brightly, and the room was very warm, but Dumbledore felt a little disturbed.

"You seem a little uneasy, Albus."

Behind Dumbledore, Headmaster Dippet slowly approached the fire.

"Armando, I can't understand Grindelwald's recent movements more and more," Dumbledore said with a frown. "I thought he wanted a decisive battle, but... just when all of us were planning to do it in one fell swoop, he retreated..."

"His power is not as good as it used to be, so it's normal to retreat, right?" Headmaster Dippet said softly.

Dumbledore shook his head and said worriedly: "But, this doesn't seem like his style. I'm worried... that there will be another change."

They had clearly put on a posture of wanting a decisive battle, but... the Wizengamot suddenly retreated.

Logically speaking, Grindelwald's actions would cause a huge blow to the morale of their side, which is really very illogical!

"In other words, something I don't know must have happened among them..." Dumbledore said: "What is worrying is that we have no clue about this. If we wait like this, it is equivalent to putting the initiative in their hands..."

Headmaster Dippet asked: "So, are you planning to actively find them and then have a decisive battle with them?"

"Well... the Ministry of Magic also thinks so. This war has been dragging on for too long. The Muggle world is not peaceful at all now, and war is about to break out... I'm worried that Grindelwald will take advantage of the Muggles' war. In that case, perhaps the International Statute of Secrecy will become waste paper overnight." Dumbledore's eyes were full of worry.

"According to his previous arguments, he shouldn't let wizards be in danger at will, but now, no matter how you think about it, it's not the best time to expose the wizarding world to the whole world. I think, although he is crazy, he shouldn't be indifferent to the lives of ordinary wizards. This is not in line with his consistent position. If he really does this, they will collapse internally." The dim firelight of the fireplace shone on Headmaster Dippet's wrinkled face, making it appear flickering.

Dumbledore said: "I used to think the same way, but... now, I have gradually been unable to guess his thoughts, I can't bet everything on the fact that his thoughts have not changed, we must seize the initiative!"

"But, if they deliberately hide, we won't be able to find them even if we want to take the initiative to start a war," Headmaster Dippet said: "You also know that the International Confederation of Wizards' investigation has just returned... the entire Nurmengard Castle has disappeared... and the Wizengamot members who were frequently active around the world before have also disappeared without a trace overnight..."

"The castle cannot disappear for no reason... The biggest possibility is that he used a Fidelius Charm or something to erase the entire castle from the eyes of the world... The question is, why did he do this? Armando, if this continues, it will really be very detrimental to us."

"Don't worry too much, Albus, you are a little impatient. In fact, we are not the only ones who are anxious. As you said before, suddenly hiding will also have a very serious impact on the morale of the Wizengamot. If Grindelwald does nothing, they will collapse on their own, so... in my opinion, they will take action soon. It's better to wait and see what happens."

"It seems that there is really no other way at the moment..." Dumbledore said helplessly.

Even if he wants to seek the initiative again, if those people on the other side deliberately hide, it is impossible for them to find them.

"I think, you might as well put your heart back into teaching for the time being. You are not solely responsible for this war initiated by Grindelwald." Headmaster Dippet suddenly smiled: "Speaking of teaching, those two children you brought back are not ordinary."

"Hmm? What's wrong with them?" Dumbledore asked in confusion.

After the Sorting Ceremony, Dumbledore continued to run around because of Grindelwald's affairs.

After getting nothing, he didn't return to Hogwarts until today, so he didn't know what Leif and the others had done in the past few days.

"Those two freshmen, on their first day of school, knocked down seven or eight students who came to make trouble for them, including three upperclassmen. It seems that you taught them a lot before school started." Headmaster Dippet said with a smile.

"There's such a thing?" Dumbledore was also a little surprised.

However, the point of his surprise was why they caused conflict with their classmates as soon as they entered school, rather than that they could knock down so many people.

You know, before entering school, Leif was already able to knock down several Wizengamot members in the siege of the Wizengamot with his own wisdom and ability. His ability is indeed very outstanding.

This is also one of the reasons why Dumbledore is particularly concerned about them.

"What is the reason for the conflict?" Dumbledore asked.

"To be precise, it was the pure-blood thing that caused it. Those two children don't seem to like some of the views of the other students in Slytherin, and, the local pure-blood families seem to be a bit exclusive to foreign pure-bloods... On the first day of school, those two children had to unite some people and form their own small group... It's not that no students have resisted before, but there are almost none who can do it to their extent..."

In fact, some people have indeed resisted the oppression of pure-blood students before, but most of them fell in the first conflict...

And Leif's small group has persisted for so many days, which is indeed very difficult, and it has a lot to do with their outstanding abilities.

The school has always wanted to manage this unhealthy trend in Slytherin, but there was no way to do so before.

After all, in the past, the entire Slytherin shared the same ideology, and the school couldn't interfere too much. At most, they would severely punish their bullying behavior to prevent them from going too far...

But now, a crack has finally appeared in this increasingly deformed ideology.

"It seems that Weide and the others might bring some changes to Slytherin in the future..." A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face.

"It seems you have high expectations for those two children, Albus..."

...

In his dream, Li Weide reported his encounters tonight to his senior.

"You plan to use the 'remnants' to cultivate your own people?" The senior saw through Li Weide's intentions at a glance.

"Yes." Li Weide didn't hide it, nor could he.

He deliberately leaked the information to Tom and the others, and the purpose of this matter was very obvious in the senior's eyes.

"It's not impossible, but... you have to pay attention to the quantity. Don't let them know that the source of this power is so easy for you... Only what is hard-earned will be cherished. Only in this way will they maintain their respect for you."

Li Weide nodded, deeply agreeing with his senior's reminder.

If they knew that he could easily produce this kind of power, but only gave them a little bit, then they would inevitably develop resentment sooner or later.

But if he said that this power was very difficult to obtain, and he still shared so much with them, then they would be grateful to him. This is human nature...

As for his upcoming raid on the goblin camp, the senior did not stop him. Instead, she very considerately provided Li Weide with many useful suggestions.

After all, back then, when the goblin Ragnok's power was rampant, the senior would have to destroy several of these goblin camps just by casually strolling through the Forbidden Forest...

After a good night's sleep, Li Weide looked refreshed when he woke up in the morning.

On the contrary, Tom and the others looked a little tired.

After all, they didn't have Li Weide's ability to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

"When are you going to do it?" Tom asked Li Weide quietly while washing up.

Li Weide knew what he was talking about and replied concisely, "Tonight."

"So soon?" Tom was a little surprised.

According to his understanding of Li Weide, this guy would always think carefully and make ample preparations before taking action.

But directly taking action tonight seemed a bit hasty and didn't fit Li Weide's character very well.

However, what Tom didn't know was that Li Weide had already made all the preparations in his dream last night.

Even the senior had specially used the observation attribute of her nightmare magic to observe the goblin camp in advance according to Li Weide's instructions...

Li Weide could now be said to know the deployment of that goblin camp like the back of his hand.

"It's not a big problem. I plan to do it in the second half of the night. We're racing against time, so we have to hurry... Don't go tonight."

Tom was silent when he heard this. This guy has always been so confident...

If it were him, he would be careful and cautious... After all, he only had one life!

He couldn't rashly go without scouting first.

"Hmph, whatever you want. Anyway, it would be best for me if you died."

"Tom, are you perhaps concerned about my safety?"

"You're really sick in the head, where did you get that idea? Get lost, go die!"

Li Weide patted Tom's shoulder hard and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Tom, I'll be fine..."

"Who the hell cares if you're okay, you're really sick!"

"I understand, Tom, you're just shy..."

"You understand my ass!"

...

The first-year courses were not too intensive, so they didn't make people feel too tired.

However, if it was a course like History of Magic... then it would be a different story.

It was Li Weide's first time attending Professor Binns' History of Magic class.

Professor Binns was a ghost who had been a professor for who knows how many years.

This led to him still lecturing in the same dull way as hundreds of years ago.

It was the kind of course that was hypnotic to the extreme...

Only twenty minutes into the course, a large number of students had fallen asleep.

Professor Binns didn't care and just kept reading from his textbook.

Li Weide didn't make things difficult for himself and soon, like everyone else, he lay down on the table and started catching up on sleep.

Tonight was going to be a big operation, and sufficient sleep would be beneficial to him.

After finally getting through the class, Professor Binns assigned homework and then walked through the wall and left.

Li Weide and the others, like everyone else, stretched and walked out of the History of Magic classroom.

The other Slytherin students, as always, deliberately avoided Li Weide's small group.

Soon, only the few of them were left at the classroom door.

"Tom, why do you look so tired? Didn't you sleep well just now?"

"That's because I don't have the habit of sleeping in class."

"What? You actually stayed awake throughout Professor Binns' class?"

"Although I'm not interested in History of Magic, it's still a subject that requires an exam. Since it's a subject that requires an exam, I can't be lazy."

After hearing Tom's words, not only Li Weide, but also Annie, Alphard, and the others were full of admiration.

To be able to stay awake throughout Professor Binns' class and still take notes very seriously.

It has to be said, this is indeed a ruthless person!

"Tom, you're too diligent. What are we supposed to do when you're so diligent? It makes us feel very guilty!" Henry said helplessly.

"What do I care what you do? It's not like I made you sleep!" Tom said, raising his head.

"Tom, can you not do things that affect unity so much!" Alphard groaned.

"Henry, Alphard, I think you should be more diligent. If you're so careless about the school's courses, how can you become stronger?"

"Speaking of becoming stronger..." Li Weide looked at the time, "There's still a little time before dinner, how about... we go and find a place first."

Annie asked in surprise, "Weide, have you found a place?"

"This is not the place to talk. Don't talk for now, just follow me." Li Weide said, leading the way towards the stairs.

Tom's words about becoming stronger reminded Li Weide. While he had time now, he decided to find the Room of Requirement now.

Compared to tonight's trip to the Forbidden Forest, making the others in the team stronger was also an urgent matter.
