Hogwarts: I, Tom, am really not Voldemort!

The 100th Cycle

This is the 23rd time that Vinda Rosier has guided me in the loop, and I feel it's more effective than the Dark Lord's individual teaching.

I have to say, Ms. Vinda Rosier is so elegant and dignified, and so full of wisdom, that even a girl like me is captivated by her charm.

This makes me think of Bellatrix Lestrange again.

I remember in one of the loops, I mentioned her to the Dark Lord, which led to a moment of silence from him. Finally, he said to me earnestly: "Follow Ms. Vinda Rosier and learn well, and never learn from that contrast group, Bella."

After listening to the Dark Lord talk about Bella's situation, I suddenly felt that perhaps someone like Bella is needed to deal with the Dark Lord.

Perhaps only a madman can keep up with the Dark Lord's brain circuits, and even steal the spotlight when the Dark Lord appears.

A normal person like me often feels out of place next to the erratic Dark Lord.

When I mentioned this idea to Ms. Vinda Rosier, she said that the Saints and Death Eaters are different and are all normal people. If I am willing, I can come to their side for employment at any time.

Another offer received, happy.

Why not take advantage of the loop and ask Professor Dumbledore? Based on his relationship with Grindelwald, maybe I can also hold a position in the Order of the Phoenix.

The thought of earning three salaries makes me feel wonderful.

Dad, Mom, you will definitely be proud of me.

......

The 145th Cycle

After meeting with the Dark Lord today, I didn't accept Ms. Vinda Rosier's offer. Instead, he took me to the fourth-year Gryffindor Defense Against the Dark Arts class to find the Weasley twins.

"Hi, George, and Fred, how is the progress on our collaboration?"

Listening to the Dark Lord greeting the Weasley twins enthusiastically, I realized at this time that the Dark Lord actually has a collaboration with them.

Unknowingly, the Dark Lord has actually infiltrated the traditional Gryffindor camp. I don't know if Headmaster Dumbledore knows.

But thinking about the relationship between Headmaster Dumbledore and the Dark Lord, I suddenly feel that maybe there are Dumbledore's people in the Death Eater camp, it's hard to say.

After all, the Dark Lord often sends Draco those romance novels, where loving and killing each other, you in me, and me in you are the right path.

I just don't know what they are collaborating on. With their personalities, I seriously suspect that Hogwarts Castle will be blown up in the next second.

Unexpectedly, the Weasley twins took out only a pair of props called Duel Disks, and a pile of cards. Could it be that the Dark Lord has been working on this for so long just to play cards? This is really outrageous.

But what's even more outrageous is that Professor Grindelwald, disguised as Lockhart, suddenly appeared and took one of the Duel Disks, wanting to challenge the Dark Lord to a duel by name.

Watching the two of them unfold the Duel Disks on the open space by the Black Lake and shout: "Duel!"

It turns out that playing cards is the right way in the wizarding world. How come I, who have always been at the forefront of fashion, suddenly feel outdated?

But to be honest, this game is really gorgeous. I didn't expect the Weasley twins to have this kind of technology. If this thing is put on the market, it will definitely be very popular.

It's just that the Dark Lord's card-playing technique is so... so... um... gloomy. It seems that according to the rules he and I just explained, the cards are not played like this at all.

Didn't you see that Professor Grindelwald is about to get red-hot? So far, the professor hasn't even played a single card. Even I, a layman who doesn't know how to play cards, can feel Professor Grindelwald's resentment towards this duel with no sense of experience.

After Professor Grindelwald's LP reached zero, the Dark Lord actually smiled and said to me: "Cassandra, you know, Yu-Gi-Oh! is a game that only one person can play, whether it's your turn or my turn. Playing a game of cards has refreshed my whole body."

Please stop talking, Dark Lord. Didn't you see that Professor Grindelwald behind you has already taken out his wand and is preparing for a real offline PK?

Again and again, I hate why my intuition is so accurate. Looking at the sky full of Fiendfyre and the green light mixed in it, and the suffocating pressure, Dumbledore, please save me, otherwise Hogwarts will be destroyed.

And the little wizards who gathered with drinks and snacks, shouldn't you be running for your lives at this time? What are you doing watching the show here? Do you really think Grindelwald's fire shield and the Dark Lord's Avada Kedavra are just decorations?

When Grindelwald and the Dark Lord were about to fight for real, Headmaster Dumbledore, you finally appeared. It seems that my life has been saved again and again, but I don't know if dying in the loop will really mean dying. I dare not gamble.

And Dark Lord and Mr. Grindelwald, you two were fighting to the death in the last second, and in the next second after Dumbledore appeared, you suddenly became so close that you were almost wearing the same pants. Isn't this face-changing speed too much?

"We just had a simple exchange about magic, and by the way, we showed the students of Hogwarts the charm of magic."

Why don't you listen to what you are saying? And Headmaster Dumbledore, what's with that expression of accepting such an outrageous reason with pleasure? If it weren't for the loop, it would be hard to say whether there would be any living people to see in Hogwarts the next day.

So, does that mean that the first step to becoming one of these big shots is to learn to be shameless? I seem to have vaguely understood some truths again.

Just looking at the Dark Lord and Grindelwald like this, could it be that the beginning of the magic world's S3 season is not because of lost love, failing exams, or job failure, but because of playing cards?

It seems that in the future, in order to maintain the peace of the magic world, we must resolutely prevent the Dark Lord from playing cards with others. Let us others bear the pain of playing cards.

Alas, another tiring day.

......

The 180th Cycle

After meeting with the Dark Lord, he said that we should combine work and rest to prevent me from going crazy in the loop, so he kindly took me through a secret passage to Hogsmeade Village.

"Is it really okay for us to do this?"

Could it be Grindelwald and Dumbledore's nicknames? Is it really okay for you to show your affection so openly?

What's more, what did I see? Ms. Vinda Rosier and Alecto Carrow?

So, the Saints and Death Eaters have really surrounded Hogwarts, and they have started a business openly. Isn't this too outrageous?

In Gail's Coffee Shop, I opened the card I got from senior Hollis, and it was Professor Snape's.

So, those explicit cards that have been popular in the castle recently were taken from here.

Considering Alecto Carrow's identity as a Death Eater, it is not difficult to guess who the boss behind this coffee shop is.

I have to say, Dark Lord, you haven't been beaten to death yet, you are really holding on with your strength.

It's just that I, who am following you, really don't have this kind of strength.

Alas, another day to worry about my life, so tired.
