The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Just like when Levitra learned the dark arts, Dumbledore couldn't do anything about it.

After Grindelwald shifted his gaze from Levid, it immediately fell on Tom.

Tom immediately felt like a thorn in his back.

In fact, the way Grindelwald looked at Tom was much softer than the way he looked at Levid.

It really was... The aura of Tom's heroic detonation of the poison gas bomb, intending to die with him, shocked even someone like him. Remember, Tom was only eleven years old last year...

Grindelwald has been fighting for so many years, and many people want to die with him, but the only child who wants to die with him and puts it into practice... is Tom!

"Tom." Grindelwald called Tom's name with a smile.

Tom's face froze. Unlike his conversation with Levid, Grindelwald called his name directly!

In other words, it was impossible for him to pretend to be confused like Li Weide... unless Li Weide's cat was there!

This was the first time Tom didn't hate that Li Wei De named the cat Tom, and he desperately wished that thing was there!

Anyway, that cat can understand human language!

"Tom, Tom... I really admire your courage." Grindelwald smiled.

"Me? Courage?" Tom was a little stunned. He really didn't expect that he had anything to do with courage.

"But not many people dare to detonate a poison gas bomb so resolutely. What's more, you are still a child..." Grindelwald sighed.

"No... that's not a poison gas bomb, it's a drug..." Before Tom finished speaking, Grindelwald laughed out loud.

"Tom... no one understands a person's reaction before death better than I do..." Grindelwald looked at Tom gently. "At the time, you had no idea that the bomb you detonated was drugged. You were absolutely certain it was poisoned, right?"

Tom opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything.

God bless you, at that time he really thought it was a drugged dung bomb! He was just tricked by Li Weide's fake death poison...

As for why some people have such ferocious reactions before death... don't you, Grindelwald, have any idea at all?

You're halfway through reading Avatar! Are you still trying to make me smile? Screw you!

But Grindelwald didn't know any of this.

He firmly believed that Tom was really determined to die and wanted to die with him!

Sometimes, once people have preconceived ideas, it's hard to change them...

This preconceived idea had already been imprinted in Grindelwald's mind when Tom crushed the dung bomb last year.

So, in his mind, the images of Tom and Lewd were exactly the opposite of what Dumbledore thought!

In Grindelwald's eyes, Levid is a despicable, cruel and ruthless little dark devil at such a young age!

He and Grindelwald are real "peers"!

And Tom...was willing to sacrifice his own good child for the safety of his friend!

This fearless attitude towards death is just like... Dumbledore...

So, for no reason, Grindelwald has a better impression of Tom, even though Levid is better than Tom.

"I think I need to apologize to you. Last year, some of my actions did leave you with a bad impression. I sincerely hope to get your forgiveness here." Grindelwald said sincerely again.

Some bad behavior? You mean pointing a wand at my neck and then chewing on a melon?

You almost killed me! And now you want me to forgive you? I'm not going to forgive you!

Of course, Tom didn't dare to say any of the above words, and could only secretly criticize them in his heart.

As for reality...

"It's okay. I would have forgotten it if you hadn't told me." Tom said calmly.

Yes, Tom gave in again.

Whether it's Grindelwald or that Levid, they're both fucking lunatics!

Now he can't afford to offend anyone! So... endure it!

However, to Grindelwald, who had already formed a fixed impression of Tom, this answer became proof of Tom's courage!

Look, how brave this kid is! Even though I almost killed him with the Killing Curse, he can still talk to me calmly and fluently! He doesn't even tremble when he speaks!

And... he even graciously forgave me! This broad-mindedness... is increasingly reminiscent of someone's past.

Well... before...

Now someone is extremely stingy!

Look, I was just talking to the students, why were you staring at me?

Can I eat all these students?

"I'm very happy to have your understanding. I can only say that I had no choice but to do so at the time. To express my apology, if you have any difficulties in your studies or life in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time. I will be in Hogwarts during this period... Remember, you can ask me if you don't understand anything." Grindelwald blinked, hinting perfectly.

Tom could only mumble a response.

If it were before, Tom might have been ecstatic, even though this guy had almost killed him before.

Because he used to have a strong desire for power...especially black magic.

But now... it's not that he doesn't desire power anymore, but now he doesn't have such a strong desire for black magic or something like that.

He experienced the magic of love and felt the powerful charm of this magic of love advocated by Dumbledore.

Moreover, I also realized the fundamental truth that only one's own strength is the foundation.

Moreover, as his strength rapidly increased, he also discovered that his talent for dark magic seemed to have... deteriorated a bit...

This was something he had discovered while practicing spells. As his defensive spells grew stronger, the power of his Dark Arts, such as the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse, seemed to be declining.

Tom didn't know if it was his own illusion, but it also greatly reduced his interest in the dark arts.

With such a powerful role model like Dumbledore, he wasn't worried at all about becoming weaker if he didn't use the Dark Arts.

This is a correct path that others have taken!

While Tom was thinking, Grindelwald began to chat with students from the surrounding clubs.

Those students were very restless... they really hoped that this guy would leave here quickly.

However, Grindelwald seemed to be staying here and had no intention of leaving.

As for those students whose parents had joined him, he never seemed to think about going over and chatting with them.

After chatting for a while, Grindelwald started to talk to Tom again...

Tom never knew that this world-famous dark wizard could be so talkative!

Poor Tom could only tremble and agree.

No matter who it is, they would be scared at this time.

After a long while, Tom looked at Li Weide pitifully, wondering if Li Weide could help him out.

However, Levid's attention seemed to be completely not on Grindelwald.

At this moment, Levid was watching the short boy named Filius Flitwick struggling to climb onto the stool.

The Sorting Hat had only been on his head for a second when it sorted Flitwick directly into Ravenclaw.

With his pursuit and passion for knowledge, Ravenclaw is indeed the best place for him.

There was a burst of warm applause from the Ravenclaw table.

Although Flitwick looked a little peculiar, this was not the most important thing for the students of Ravenclaw.

In Ravenclaw, knowledge is the most important thing.

If you are a poor student, then even if you are extremely handsome, you will not be respected by other young eagles.

Even Lockhart, who later became a fraud and stole his reputation, was an absolute academic master when he was in school.

"At present... there are still too few Ravenclaw students in the club... Do they feel that no one in the club can help them with their studies? Or do they think that they can only learn well with help from others, which hurts their self-esteem?" Li Weide pondered, completely ignoring Tom's pleading eyes beside him.

After a while, the sorting ceremony was about to end, and only a few students were left in front of the stools without being sorted.

"Alastor Moody..." Professor McGonagall called out another name.

Then, a thin boy walked up quickly.

Li Weide looked at little Moody with a gleam in his eyes.

Alastor Moody, the most famous Auror of the future...it wouldn't be an exaggeration to even call him a legend among Aurors!

You know, when Voldemort was wreaking havoc, at least half of the prisoners in Azkaban were arrested by him personally!

Even though he died at Voldemort's hands, he was still a true talent! We must fight for him!

Compared to Flitwick from Ravenclaw, Moody from Gryffindor is easier to fool!

As for Gryffindor... just keep talking about bonds, friendship, etc. and they'll join.

Chapter 202 Tom: With great power comes great responsibility! Li Weide:?

After the last student was sorted into Slytherin, the sorting ceremony officially ended.

Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald and the students around him, especially Tom, who was chatting and laughing, and he was no longer in the mood to speak on behalf of the headmaster.

Tom has finally learned his lesson, but if Grindelwald brings him back to his old ways...

You know, it’s hard to learn good things, but it’s very easy to learn bad things!

Especially since Tom was still the same...

When Dumbledore thought of this, anger surged in his heart again.

"Dinner!" Dumbledore announced loudly and pointedly.

"Albus..." Professor Slughorn looked anxiously at Grindelwald over there.

All the Slytherin students are from his college!

And…the students Grindelwald spoke to were all his most promising students!

How could Professor Slughorn not be anxious?

"We must quickly find a way to prevent him from having too much contact with the students!" Professor Slughorn said anxiously. "You are the most aware of his ability to deceive people!"

Grindelwald's ability to bewitch people is obvious to all.

He persuaded so many strong-willed adult wizards to join his camp.

What’s more, these students are so young!

Didn't Dumbledore know this?

But he couldn't just go to the Slytherin table and drag Grindelwald away...

However, based on his understanding of Levid, Grindelwald could not seduce him in just one meal.

Otherwise, Levid would have left with Grindelwald in Godric's Hollow long ago.

"I believe in Vader..."

Because of Professor Slughorn's question, Dumbledore's emotions gradually calmed down.

He was just worried and confused just now, but now, as his emotions calmed down, Dumbledore's thinking became much clearer.

"Albus... No matter how smart Wade is, he is still just a child!" Professor Slughorn looked at Dumbledore in shock.

He didn't expect that Dumbledore was going to ignore it?

"In fact, Armando and I have deeper expectations for Wade! Horace... I think it's time to tell you something... Come with me." Dumbledore said, standing up from his seat and walking towards the corridor next to the hall.

Professor Slughorn looked at Dumbledore in surprise, then hurried after him.

Ten minutes passed before Professor Slughorn and Dumbledore re-entered the Great Hall.

But everyone could see the dissatisfaction on Professor Slughorn's face.

In fact, many senior students, after so many years of attending the school, have never seen Professor Slughorn, who always has a kind face, show such an angry expression.

Dumbledore seemed a little helpless and apologetic, but there was more determination in his eyes!

Soon, the opening dinner officially ended.

Students from each college followed their respective male and female prefects, left the hall, and prepared to return to their respective common rooms.
