Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Watching Tom, whose eyes rolled back from the scalding and whose face was twisted with fury, Leavitt calmly picked up his cup and took a small sip.

“Tom, being so easily swayed by emotions will diminish your wisdom.”

Hearing this, Tom barely managed to control his anger.

His ability to control his emotions wasn't entirely due to Leavitt's words.

The Felix Felicis he had just drunk also gave him a similar hint.

The hint from the Felix Felicis was very direct, giving him a clear intuition.

It allowed him to know what to do for the better and what to do for the worse.

Tom now instinctively felt that if he continued to be angry like this, something bad would happen…

He took a few deep breaths, first opening his mouth to heal the burns on his lips with his wand, and then using the Aguamenti Charm to refill the cup with fresh water.

Tom picked up the clear water and drank it all. “I’ll stick to clear water… it helps me calm down.”

“A very good choice, Tom. Compared to before, it seems you've gained another quality, which is patience. Mastering restraint and patience in such a short period is truly commendable…” Leavitt said, pouring himself another cup of black tea. “Tom… if you can continue to improve like this, you may very well have the potential to surpass me in the future.”

“Heh heh…” Tom let out a few bitter laughs.

He didn't think that simply controlling his emotions would allow him to surpass the guy in front of him.

In his opinion, achieving that would require many, many unique opportunities…

At this moment, there seemed to be some commotion coming from the girls' dormitory.

Tom glanced over, but saw nothing.

Leavitt's gaze, however, fell to the ground, because he had just seen a faint, illusory change in the ground.

“Annie, your foot is showing…” Leavitt said.

“Ah? Is it?” Annie's voice came from the void, and Tom was surprised to see the air in front of him suddenly ripple.

Immediately after, Annie's figure suddenly appeared, and she was holding a piece of shimmering silver cloth in her hand.

“A good Invisibility Cloak.” Leavitt praised. “You've been using this Invisibility Cloak to investigate for so long, haven't you?”

“Yes, I have.” Annie pulled up a chair and sat down next to them. “What about you guys? Don't you use an Invisibility Cloak? You just wander around Hogwarts at night like this?”

Leavitt smiled and said, “Actually, I don't need an Invisibility Cloak to become invisible.”

“Really? You've actually mastered the Disillusionment Charm?” Annie looked at Leavitt with envy.

If she could master the Disillusionment Charm, she wouldn't want to wear the Invisibility Cloak, having to walk so cautiously, and possibly even tripping over a corner.

“Tom, have you learned it too?” Annie asked again.

“Cough cough… no…” Tom said helplessly.

He hadn't gone night-wandering with Leavitt many times, and each time, Leavitt had helped him with the Disillusionment Charm…

There was no way around it; he could probably barely learn this advanced spell now, but he wouldn't be able to do it perfectly.

In that case, it would be no different from not learning it at all… It would be better to concentrate on mastering the magic he could learn now.

Hearing this, Annie glanced at him with some disdain, “Why can Leavitt do it, but you can't?”

Tom suddenly felt his emotions fluctuate violently again.

Woman, you have successfully provoked my anger!

Comparing me to him? Do you think he's a normal person?

“It's as if you've learned it yourself.” Tom said unhappily.

“But I have an Invisibility Cloak!” Annie said smugly.

“So, you haven't learned it, then what right do you have to mock me?”

“I have an Invisibility Cloak!”

…

Leavitt didn't interrupt, letting them argue.

In the end, these two are just eleven-year-old children, with strong competitive spirits.

Unlike himself, an old-timer who accidentally returned to the age of eleven…

After a while, Leavitt interrupted their mutual “greetings”.

“Annie, since you arrived early, shall we head out now?” Leavitt said with a smile.

Annie was stunned for a moment, then looked at her watch.

“Um… we need to wait a bit longer, at least until nine o'clock before setting off. Because after nine o'clock, all the other students will have returned to their dormitories, well… perhaps except for the Gryffindors.”

Tom chuckled and turned his head away.

What do you mean, there's no one in the castle after nine o'clock? Clearly, Grindelwald will come after nine o'clock!

However, Leavitt didn't expose her, and, aside from her true purpose, her explanation was actually quite reasonable.

“In that case, let's have a cup of tea together first.”

…

The Forbidden Forest.

In a simple camp.

“Snap! Snap! Snap!”

The sound of whips cracking rang out.

Then, in the empty camp, a group of people suddenly appeared.

At the very front of this group, Grindelwald squinted his eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh scent of grass and trees in the forest.

“Let's go, enter Hogwarts through the secret passage. The later we're discovered, the better.” Grindelwald said.

Now Dumbledore is tied up in the United States due to events, and is currently inside the Magical Congress of the United States.

And the Magical Congress of the United States is still under lockdown due to a series of disappearances led by Grindelwald!

So, even if the news of the attack here is transmitted in time, it is impossible to transmit it to the completely locked-down Magical Congress of the United States in time.

In theory, they have plenty of time to act.

However, Grindelwald still didn't dare to be careless. He didn't know if his old friend would leave any backup plans when he left Hogwarts…

After Grindelwald finished speaking, the group immediately disappeared into the Forbidden Forest again…

The secret passage was discovered by Annie while exploring those magic power gathering points these days.

Annie marked the nearest one for Grindelwald and his group.

At the entrance of the secret passage, several Pure-Bloods were already guarding it.

They even set up some hidden protective magic here.

After seeing Grindelwald and his group appear, they quickly dispelled the magic and opened the entrance to the secret passage…

The process of infiltrating the castle was very smooth.

A group of people, wearing Disillusionment Charms, appeared on the bottom floor of the castle.

Because the light was dim, the portraits hanging beside them didn't notice anything.

Of course, it was only because the light was dim at night, otherwise the muddy footprints suddenly appearing on the ground would have alerted the portraits long ago.

Vita held the map Annie gave her and silently led the way in front.

Soon, they came to that collapsed secret passage.

Here, everyone dispelled their Disillusionment Charms.

“It should be in the back.” Vita closed the map and turned to say to Grindelwald.

Grindelwald slowly walked to the blocked area, reached out and pressed his hand on the pile of stones, and closed his eyes to feel it carefully.

Then he very clearly captured the extremely active magical traces in the secret chamber behind…

It was exactly the same as those he found in the Leprechaun gold, and… the amount seemed to be very large!

“That's right, it's in the back.” Grindelwald said. “Let's begin.”

Following his orders, two Pure-Bloods walked over, and each took out a bottle. After opening the caps, they poured the liquid in the bottles onto the collapsed material in front.

“Sizzle!”

A pungent smell rose, and the soil that the liquid touched quickly dissolved!

However, the expressions of the two Pure-Bloods became somewhat unsightly.

“Sir… we can only melt away the soil, but those stony… for some reason, we can't melt them…” One of the Pure-Bloods quickly went back to report to Grindelwald.

Grindelwald didn't get angry when he heard this, but instead comforted his subordinates.

“It's okay, Olif, it's not your fault. Being able to melt the soil is already very good. Hogwarts has stood in the world for thousands of years, and even an ordinary brick contains powerful protective magic. Otherwise, the castle would have collapsed long ago, wouldn't it?”

“Sorry, sir…” The Pure-Blood named Olif was deeply moved by Grindelwald's understanding.

“Since we can't solve it quietly, let's just start directly.” Grindelwald said.

Hearing this, the surrounding Pure-Bloods drew their wands and walked to the front.

The next second.

“Rumble!”

The collapsed secret passage was restored, causing a huge tremor!

Grindelwald stood quietly in the back. Suddenly, he said to Vita, “It seems we have guests… I'll leave this to you.”

With that, Grindelwald led a portion of the Pure-Bloods and turned to walk out of the secret passage.

At the exit of the secret passage, an old man with a white beard was standing there quietly.

“It seems you're being a bit impolite. In my opinion, you are the guests… it's just that you're uninvited, unwelcome guests.” The old wizard stroked his long beard and said calmly.

Grindelwald looked at the old man in front of him, and a signature smile appeared on his face, “It seems that the current Headmaster of Hogwarts is not a useless person.”

“It's really sad, when you get old, no one takes you seriously anymore…” Headmaster Dippet rubbed his eyes, but he didn't know when a wand had appeared in his hand.

“You're already so old, why bother? Wouldn't it be better to pretend you didn't see anything?” Grindelwald caressed the Elder Wand in his hand, still smiling.

“Young man, I'm not so old that I can't even wave my wand… Moreover, I'm just old, not dead. When unwelcome guests come to the house, how can I turn a blind eye? You can't think that after you've taken Albus away, you can do whatever you want at Hogwarts, can you?”

“Then… there's nothing to say, Headmaster Dippet…”

After a moment of silence between the two sides, the battle suddenly broke out!

“Boom!”

The collision of spells caused a violent tremor!

Even Vita and the others, who had just cleared the collapsed section in the secret passage, felt the violent magical fluctuations!

The old headmaster's strength was somewhat beyond their expectations, but they also believed in Grindelwald's abilities.

At the same time, the other professors in the castle also arrived after reassuring the students.

Those Pure-Bloods who came out with Grindelwald immediately went to meet them…
