HP: Hogwarts Snake

Grindelwald walked into the airship and looked around curiously at this huge thing he had never seen before. The few people waiting inside came forward excitedly.

Before these men, who had not seen each other for a long time, could speak, he waved his hand, interrupting their excitement.

Grindelwald is now a skinny old man, his clothes are just rags, and his magic power is almost non-existent, but the demeanor he shows when he casually waves his hands is almost the same as that of the Dark Lord decades ago.

This made the Wushu Party burst into tears even more than sobbing and sighing, especially when the leader imprisoned in the tower accurately said their names, even though it was followed by a cold order to "introduce the current situation", the group of old people who didn't smile much at Della on the road also trembled.

Della listened silently to their conversation in German, and had no intention of interrupting and spoiling the fun. She just thought more about Grindelwald.

First of all, the leadership ability is very strong, which can be seen from the loyalty of his subordinates that does not fade with time.

The second point, I have to say, is that Grindelwald's psychological warfare skills are also very powerful. He dared to use both kindness and force when his strength has not yet recovered. He can definitely see through everyone at first sight.

If this Dark Lord was her father, how would he make a first impression?

Della couldn't help but compare Grindelwald with Voldemort, and thought that if it were Grindelwald, her first meeting with the so-called father would not be coercion and unbreakable vows.

It’s not that Grindelwald is not arrogant, but that despite his arrogance, he still has the energy to see the weaknesses of others and exploit them.

Della's eyes gradually shifted to the triangular device in Grindelwald's hand, and she began to reconsider her plans for Grindelwald.

She originally wanted to make an unbreakable vow with Grindelwald under the witness of Professor Cockrell.

As someone who saved Grindelwald and had no intention of exploiting him too much, Della felt that there was nothing wrong with a small oath to protect herself from the former Dark Lord's counterattack, and she was currently able to completely suppress him.

Having been restricted by magic-absorbing devices and spells for decades, Grindelwald is unlikely to recover in a short period of time. Judging from the fact that Cockrell cannot break the barrier by violence, the remnants of the Wiccan Party cannot defeat her either.

Moreover, Grindelwald's magic rehabilitation actually requires an alchemist to measure how the magic absorption device affects his body, to what extent, and how to do the recovery training best. She is also their best choice.

To be honest, Della felt that she was doing charity for Grindelwald. She rescued him for an answer and accepted responsibility for part of his aftermath.

However, after seeing Grindelwald, especially after seeing him regain his subordinates' loyalty to him, Della probably understood her own mentality.

She might want a teacher around.

Not a teacher like Professor Beauxbatons Weiss or Professor Durmstrang Cockrell who led her into a certain field, but a teacher like Maggie who could give her advice and new perspectives on various things.

Rather, she urgently needed a new teacher to replace Maggie, the old teacher.

Della had this experience with teachers before. She still remembers Dumbledore's speech that night in the Shrieking Shack. In fact, she also put it into practice, but the choices she made forced her to keep a distance from Dumbledore.

Tang Xueji was actually one of those who had the opportunity and ability to become her teacher, but Xueji took the initiative to keep a distance from her. She was too evasive and conservative, and obviously did not want to get involved in Della Riddle's unfinished mess.

As for Grindelwald, as mentioned above, he now needs Della Riddle to help him get back on the path of a wizard, which means he cannot keep a distance from Della Riddle. What he just did to his old subordinates made Della see his abilities clearly.

So Della reconsidered and crossed out the insulting option of Unbreakable Vow.

Anyway, she still has a great advantage over Grindelwald at the moment, and this advantage can last for a long time. While helping Grindelwald recover, she also has thousands of ways to prolong and preserve this advantage forever.

Now, let's put the need for a new teacher first. Della also wants to see which side will come out on top if the old and new demon kings' minds collide.

I don’t know what happened to Maggie, the little devil who showed up.

While reconsidering her attitude in front of Grindelwald, Della thought about Maggie. She didn't want him to have a good life, nor did she want him to have a bad life.

And now Maggie was staying in his study, reading the letter sent by Theodore about the current situation of Hogwarts.

What is written in great detail is Draco's recent little actions.

Maggie knew that Voldemort had given Draco the task of assassinating Dumbledore purely to torture him and his family, and she laughed it off.

Because of Della's slight preference for Draco, Maggie did have some complaints about Draco, and even wanted to kill him quietly at one point. But as soon as Della left Draco, Maggie immediately saw that Draco was just a bug to her.

Therefore, after Voldemort returned, he did not deliberately make things difficult for the Malfoy family, otherwise he would have lowered his own value and might have further exacerbated the conflict between him and Della.

However, when a family is about to fall into misfortune, nothing can be done to stop it.

It was also when Voldemort tortured Lucius Malfoy with the Cruciatus Curse that Maggie realized that the Riddle diary was from his hands.

His former subordinates came to surrender, already annoyed by his years of indifference. When they asked more questions, they found out that he had even lost the treasures they had asked them to cherish. How could they not be angry?

So the punishment was naturally imposed on Lucius and Malfoy. In fact, Voldemort should have wanted to kill Lucius to vent his anger, but the past year was a dormant period when his strength had not fully recovered, and the surname Malfoy was too famous in the wizarding community, so Lucius lived until he got the chance.

However, Lucius even messed up that opportunity.

Yes, Maggie had a hand in the mess, but anyone who took on the task would have been screwed equally by Maggie, so it could only be attributed to Lucius and Malfoy's bad luck.

Now that Voldemort has occupied Malfoy Manor, his excessive demands have become a punishment imposed on little Malfoy. Maggie can only sigh for this family that is going downhill.

However, it is normal for a fence-sitter, especially a fence-sitter who has been exposed, to face such a fate.

Maggie folded the letter, picked up the silver letter beside her and continued to pay attention to the matter of Qilin.
