Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Grindelwald looked at the empty goblin metal ball in his hand, a pleasant smile spreading across his face.

"Vita, it seems those two ambitious children are very confused right now," Grindelwald said, pushing a letter across the table to Vita.

This was a letter addressed to Annie, the sender being Levid and Tom.

Vita opened the letter and read it. In the letter, Levid and Tom expressed great surprise that Grindelwald knew about the existence of that magical power and had even sent them two portions.

From Grindelwald's perspective, Levid and Tom had discovered the existence of this magical power themselves and had done a lot of research on it.

Therefore, he felt that as long as he sent Levid and Tom two portions of the magical power they were seeking, they would be more likely to join him!

Grindelwald knew very well that many of those locations in the Forbidden Forest were empty.

As long as he generously gave them two portions, Levid and Tom, completely unaware in Grindelwald's eyes, would naturally think that most of the magical power had already been taken away by Grindelwald.

In other words, if they wanted to become stronger through this magical power, they would have to go to Grindelwald!

This was also why Grindelwald chose to give this magical power to Levid and Tom as a Christmas gift!

Sure enough, on Christmas Day, Annie received a letter written jointly by Levid and Tom...

"Have Annie write back and stabilize them first. Once they return to the castle and can't find any more magical power in the Forbidden Forest, then have Annie slowly guide them..." Grindelwald said confidently.

"Understood."

Since Grindelwald was determined to bring these two children under his command, he naturally had his considerations.

Therefore, Vita didn't ask any more questions and turned to convey his will.

"By the way..." Grindelwald stopped Vita, "The plan targeting the Magical Congress of the United States... can be launched..."

......

Godric's Hollow Safe House.

Levid was busy going back and forth in the garden.

Even Tom, who had been staying in his room reading, was dragged down to help.

"Planting? My precious time for studying magic, and you're actually dragging me down to plant? What are you thinking?" Tom was very angry.

"Don't underestimate planting, Tom... especially for these lovely magical plants. Taking care of them carefully can still make you stronger," Levid said with emotion.

"What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how well you grow herbs, they're used to brew potions... at most, they're sold as potion ingredients to earn some money. What does that have to do with becoming stronger?" Tom asked impatiently.

"How can you have such arrogant thoughts, Tom?" Levid closed his eyes and said joyfully, "You haven't experienced the joy of ending a battle with just a few biting cabbages..."

"Biting cabbage? Battle?" Tom felt that he could understand these words separately, but when combined, they became incomprehensible.

"No matter what something is, as long as it's used properly and its strengths are fully utilized, it has the potential to overcome the enemy..." Levid smiled.

This was one of the ultimate combat techniques personally taught by his senior sister!

Seeing that Tom still looked confused, Levid helplessly took out a book and threw it into Tom's hands.

Tom looked down and saw the title of the book on the cover - 'A Thousand Kinds of Magical Herbs and Fungi'.

"Isn't this the Herbology textbook?"

"Yes, it is indeed a textbook... but I bet you haven't memorized it yet, have you?"

"Memorize... memorize it? Such a thick book? Where would I get that much time and energy?" Tom weighed the thick textbook in his hand, his face turning green.

"Time is like water in a sponge; there's always some to squeeze out."

"Are you saying you..."

"Open your mind a little, broaden your horizons a little. Don't always think that you can only become stronger by mastering more spells," Levid waved his hand and continued to bend down to dig holes and plant, "By the way, I've already memorized it..."

Tom closed his mouth and didn't say anything. If someone has a good memory, they can do whatever they want...

"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Come help me over there and bring that bucket over here," Levid began to command.

Tom looked over and found that the bucket over there was filled with a bucket of very clear water.

"Bring what water? A simple Aguamenti spell..."

Tom said, pulling out his wand.

"If I wanted to use a spell, would I need you...? That bucket of potion over there is a nutrient solution that I specially formulated! It can accelerate plant growth, and... it can make the plants a little bit stronger..." Levid explained.

"Be careful, don't spill it! This stuff is expensive!"

That was a recipe selected from the Magical Potion Compendium rewarded by the system.

He didn't know if the system had copied it from the past or the future.

However, Levid didn't delve too deeply into it. Anyway, it was specifically used for planting...

As long as it's useful, who cares about the origin!

Tom had no choice but to bring the bucket over with a depressed look.

Seeing that he had brought the bucket over, Levid took out two huge watering cans again, and then handed one of them to Tom.

"I've been wanting to ask..." Tom squinted his eyes and sized up Levid, "Where did you pull out such a big book and two such big watering cans from?"

“Your gaze is a little impolite, Tom… Of course, I took it out of the waist bag with the Undetectable Extension Charm! Where else did you think it came from?” Leivde said, patting the small bag on his waist.

“I see, I thought you took it from…”

“Hmm?”

“I mean, did you buy this bag yourself?”

“No, Professor Hicks gave me a book of spells, and this spell was in it, so I tried it…”

“Isn't that an advanced spell book?” Tom asked in surprise.

He also received this spell book as a gift, the same as Leivde's.

“It is… but it's not too difficult for me. I should be able to say that I've mastered it to some extent.” Leivde patted his new waist bag again.

“Really… not difficult for you?” Tom once again felt a deep sense of frustration. “I can't even master the first spell in this book… My talent is indeed inferior to yours…”

“What was the first spell in this spell book again?” Leivde suddenly asked.

“Hmm… the Patronus Charm…”

Leivde glanced at Tom, “Isn't there a possibility that the reason you can't cast a Patronus has nothing to do with your talent?”

“Hmm?” Tom didn't quite understand.

“Tom, you're a Dark Wizard. Dark Wizards can't use the Patronus Charm.”

“You freaking… You're the Dark Wizard!”

No mistake, one first, one inside, one look!

“Tom, it's okay to fool your buddies, but don't fool yourself…”

“You…” Although Tom was very unconvinced, he had already begun to consider the possibility of Leivde's statement in his heart.

Tom wore a straight face, filling the watering can with nutrient solution while coldly snorting, “You're not a Dark Wizard, you're a White Wizard! Then show me a Patronus Charm? Anyway, you've mastered the Undetectable Extension Charm, so mastering a Patronus Charm shouldn't be a problem, right?”

Leivde's hand, which was watering the plants, paused, “Well… yes, of course, I've already mastered it, such a simple spell… But… why should I use it just because you want me to? Wouldn't I lose face?”

Tom chuckled, “Heh heh… looks like you're not much whiter than me!”

“Tom, do you believe I'll plant you in the ground like a Mandrake?”

…

The reason why Leivde had the idea of planting some magical plants was because the Christmas gift Professor Grilik gave was some seeds of magical creatures.

Although the seeds she sent were very safe, it reminded Leivde.

Looking at the empty yard outside.

Leivde immediately decided to have Toby take a trip to Knockturn Alley.

He bought some seeds that didn't look so safe…

For this reason, he also specially consulted with a senior, from whom he obtained valuable planting experience.

He believed that by the summer vacation, he would be able to obtain a lot of good things to defeat the enemy.

After watering the nutrient solution, Leivde began to use Transfiguration to build greenhouses for these plants.

By the time he finished, it was already evening.

Leivde didn't delay, and after quickly finishing dinner, he returned to his room to continue studying the Undetectable Extension Charm.

If he wanted to make good use of these magical plants, a good container was essential.

Just like Newt's suitcase with an incredibly vast internal space…

Leivde hadn't been here for too long, but because of the wonders of the magical world, he almost forgot that he used to be a biologist.

Although the creatures of the wizarding world are very different from those he studied before, there are still commonalities.

Moreover, in addition to various magical plants, there are also various powerful magical creatures in this world.

He was quite confident in whether he could make good use of these “biological weapons”.

Soon, a week had passed.

During this time, Leivde, besides studying and researching magic in his room, also took care of those magical plants.

What shocked him was that in just one week, those Chinese Chomping Cabbages had not only grown from seeds to half a meter tall, but also sprouted green buds.

Leivde knew very well that when these bud-like things opened, the Chomping Cabbage would be considered mature…

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three months for a Chinese Chomping Cabbage to grow from seed to its current state!

But now… it's only been a week…

At this moment, Leivde finally realized how outstanding the nutrient solution he had concocted before was…

This must be a potion recipe from the future. If it were a recipe from the past, it should have been promoted long ago.

Of course, it is also possible that the herbal master who invented this recipe did not choose to publish it…

However, this is no longer important!

Leivde looked at those Chomping Cabbages with joy, as well as those Mandrakes whose leaves had begun to change color.

With this nutrient solution, it would be much easier for him to cultivate magical plants!

After taking care of these plants, Leivde returned to his room and began to browse through that recipe encyclopedia again.

Now that he had the nutrient solution for cultivating magical plants, did that mean there would also be a nutrient solution recipe for cultivating magical creatures?

Because there was too much content, even with Leivde's memory, he had not yet completely memorized this recipe encyclopedia.

But this time, his heart was full of anticipation.
