Starting Over at Hogwarts

The atmosphere at Hogwarts was tense.

The people in Slytherin House became weird.

After the Christmas vacation, Wesson felt that all the Slytherin students seemed to be avoiding him, looking timid and hiding. Could it be that the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes had been discovered?

Don't know what they are doing...

In comparison, Professor Snape, the dean of Slytherin, is more reclusive. This professor has become more and more cold and scary during class.

"Is Professor Snape a little sad?"

Cedric's mind was more sensitive. He turned his head in confusion and spoke to his friend next to him: "Wesson, you noticed that Professor Snape's eyes look sad..."

"Have it?"

"have it?"

Cedric frowned, thinking about Snape's expression during class just now, and slowly shook his head and said: "When Professor Snape lowers his head, it makes people feel that his eyes are very sad...Christmas Did something happen during the vacation?"

"Maybe it's because of the Dark Lord Peter..."

Wesson immediately raised his eyebrows and started talking nonsense: "Mr. Crouch mentioned that the Dark Lord Peter, the Potter family he killed, and Professor Snape seemed to be friends... maybe Snape The professor must be sad to see his classmate turn into the Dark Lord!"

"Is that so?"

Cedric's brows furrowed even more tightly. He nodded while thinking, "If one of his classmates turns into the Dark Lord, everyone will feel very uncomfortable..."

"..."

Wesen's brows also frowned.

What's so strange about Cedric's words?

Just at this time, Erwin Bones gathered around them and revealed some gossip: "Our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor may be changing soon. The Minister of Magic visited our home twice. It seems that They all want my aunt to take up her duties at the Ministry of Magic as soon as possible..."

This incident is not unusual.

Everyone in the wizarding world knows that Amelia Bones cannot teach at Hogwarts for more than a year. Now that two Dark Lords have appeared, the Ministry of Magic urgently needs to strengthen its combat capabilities.

Of course, Weisen and the others are just students and don't need to care about such things.

The only thing they care about now is who their next Defense Against the Dark Arts professor will be. Wesson doesn't know who the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts are...

Wesson only knew that Harry Potter's first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts professor would bring a Voldemort. From then on, Voldemort and Harry Potter began to be completely entangled...

Um.

This is a good thing.

Hope this day will come soon.

When Voldemort returns, that's when the entire magical world begins to choose sides. Whoever chooses the wrong position this time will never have another chance to escape justice.

As for now...

Wesson just wants to focus on his studies.

Due to the tense situation in the wizarding world, the professors at Hogwarts also became a little nervous in the way they taught, as if they were afraid that their students would not have enough knowledge to face the crisis.

The entire Hogwarts curriculum has suddenly become arduous, and even the first-year students cannot escape it, let alone those students who are about to graduate.

Compared with the hard work on Weisen's side.

Grindelwald's life was very comfortable.

The wizards who had followed Grindelwald were all old, so he did not disturb the lives of his old subordinates and went straight to his destination on the first day.

Durmstrang.

This school is located in the mountains of Northern Europe.

Compared with Hogwarts, the campus of Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is very spacious. The school has a high mountain, a wide lake, and a four-story castle.

Conditions here are crude and difficult.

Durmstrang has been extremely cold all year round, especially in January when the days are short and the nights are long. Most of the students who are willing to come to this school do so to study magic seriously.

The principal of this school is Igor Karkaroff.

This Death Eater who had followed Voldemort many years ago chose to betray Voldemort and the Death Eaters. In order to avoid revenge, he came to the European continent, which had nothing to do with Voldemort.

The European continent has also been somewhat uneasy recently.

Because the news of Grindelwald's departure from Nurmengard Castle was exposed by the British Ministry of Magic, it was naturally impossible to block the news.

Continental Europe is no more remote than Britain.

Since the first generation of Dark Lord Grindelwald left Nurmengard Castle, the story that Grindelwald once led wizards across Europe began to spread in the European wizarding world again.

Even in this era, there are still some wizards who are willing to support Grindelwald. Their ancestors have more or less followed Grindelwald.

Naturally, some of Durmstrang's radical students were among them.

"Many students actually believe in Grindelwald..."

As Karkaroff walked to his principal's office, he complained to the professors beside him: "Have they all forgotten that Dumbledore is still alive? These students have no idea that the situation has not stabilized and they should never go there. Take sides easily!"

Tell the truth.

If Dumbledore hadn't defeated Grindelwald, he would still be alive...

Maybe some students are already taking up the banner of Grindelwald.

As the principal, Igor Karkaroff must suppress this undercurrent among the students. Otherwise, he will not be able to explain to the Ministry of Magic of various countries in the mainland.

Moreover, Igor Karkaroff believed that he was also a victim of the Dark Lord's followers, because he believed that Voldemort would definitely succeed. As a result, Voldemort died at the hands of a little guy named Harry Potter. Harmed a group of Death Eaters who followed Voldemort...

If Karkaroff hadn't been timid...

He really wants to tell everyone that the Dark Lord is a bunch of cheaters.

certainly.

In comparison...

Grindelwald is actually quite reliable.

After all, Grindelwald was finally defeated at the hands of Dumbledore. Many people were speechless about this result, because the old guy Dumbledore's strength was indeed terrifying.

However…

If you lose, you lose.

When a person loses, whatever he says is an excuse.

Just as Karkaroff was cursing those unreliable Dark Lords and arranging for the professors around him to put the students who had restored Grindelwald into solitary rooms, he opened the door to his principal's office with some fatigue. , intending to take a good rest.

It's not easy being a principal.

Karkaroff was a little worried. If Dumbledore could not solve Grindelwald, the situation would get out of control sooner or later. He considered whether he should leave his job to avoid the limelight...

Durmstrang students…

Not as well-behaved as the students at Hogwarts!

Until Karkaroff walked into the office, intending to have a cup of black tea first, he saw a white-haired middle-aged man sitting on his principal's seat who was very familiar to many European wizards.

Grindelwald!

Why is Grindelwald here?

Why is Grindelwald in his office!

Karkaroff was so frightened by what he saw that he almost fell to the ground!

"Mr. Karkaroff, don't be so nervous."

Grindelwald sat leisurely on his office chair, lowering his head and concentrating on pulling his watch chain with his palms, playing with his pocket watch, not even looking at Karkaroff.

While playing with his pocket watch, Grindelwald continued slowly: "I am just a former Durmstrang student. I also came here to see my old alma mater..."

"Yes Yes Yes…"

A cold sweat broke out on Karkaroff's forehead.

Now, a dark lord appears in your home and claims that this home is the place where he once lived. This sounds really scary!

"I heard that Durmstrang has been in a bit of trouble lately?"

Grindelwald asked softly, as if he was just asking about Karkaroff's job as principal, as if he didn't care at all about the turbulent undercurrent in the school.

"It's...oh, no, it's not."

Karkaroff nodded and quickly shook his head.

Even if Durmstrang is a little confused, he can't mention these things at this time!

"Ha, don't be so scared."

Grindelwald chuckled, calmed Karkaroff's emotions, and then continued: "Although I don't want to be someone they believe or even follow, human nature cannot be changed..."

When he said this, Grindelwald suddenly picked up the watch chain in his hand and pulled the pocket watch into the palm of his hand. Grindelwald's face also became cold at this moment!

"That's just human nature."

Grindelwald slowly raised his head and stared at Karkaroff, who was sweating profusely. There was an unquestionable tone in his calm voice: "If people can't do something, they will choose to give up and turn to To believe in something stronger and better than yourself..."

"When they place their confidence on others, the heavy pressure and burden they once faced will also be placed on this person..."

"They will force this person to assume heavy trust and unshirkable responsibilities, force this person to move forward in accordance with the goals expected by everyone, force this person to become the so-called supreme leader..."

"..."

Karkaroff's head was sweating even more.

Because he somehow felt that what Grindelwald said made sense.

It is precisely because of the reasons mentioned by Grindelwald that Dumbledore, the greatest wizard of this century, was born, and the Dark Lords who were tit-for-tat with Dumbledore were also born.

"Sadly…"

When Grindelwald said this, there was a hint of sadness in his gem-like eyes: "After so many years, the people living in this land are still those who choose to trust the strong..."

When Grindelwald said this, the expression on his face became more sincerely sad: "What is even more sad is that none of Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, or even one person can stand up anymore..."
