Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Soon, Headmaster Dippet had rescued all the professors.

Professor Slughorn was greatly astonished when he saw that Levid and the other two were actually here.

He knew that Grindelwald had been here just now!

What if he had… The consequences were simply unimaginable!

Afterward, Headmaster Dippet asked Professor Galick to notify the Aurors, and then, together with the other professors, prepared to listen to Levid about what exactly had happened tonight.

So, Levid told the professors the prepared story.

It started with them accidentally discovering this magical power that could enhance their strength, and then, the three of them peeled back the layers, finally discovering the place where this magical power was hidden…

After that, in the process of exploring this power, they happened to run into Grindelwald and his followers!

And Levid happened to be carrying Stink Pellets made from a recipe provided by Professor Slughorn.

So, when the professors were fighting Grindelwald, Levid remotely summoned his house-elf in the agreed-upon manner, asking him to take a piece of paper back to the phoenix, and then the phoenix delivered the message to Dumbledore and brought him back to Hogwarts.

During this time, he also used the Stink Pellets to almost wipe out all of Grindelwald's followers!

Then, in front of Grindelwald, he held on until Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts…

Until Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald head-on!

After Levid told his prepared story, the professors were silent.

After a long while, Headmaster Dippet said, "Levid, have you… ever considered that the three of you, in this process, violated at least a hundred school rules?"

"Sorry… Headmaster Dippet, it is indeed our fault… We are prepared to bear the punishment…" Levid lowered his head with a guilty look.

Tom also said, "Sorry… we were too eager to obtain power… I… We couldn't resist that temptation…"

"We'll go back and pack our bags now…" Annie also turned to leave with a dejected expression.

At this moment, the three of them had a tacit understanding, so Levid and Tom immediately followed with helpless and sad expressions.

"What are you packing your bags for?" Professor Slughorn asked loudly.

"We know that we violated hundreds of school rules, so… expulsion is the only consequence…"

When Annie said this, even a sob came out.

Professor Slughorn became anxious, "You caught so many of Grindelwald's followers! Moreover, you held on in front of such a powerful dark wizard like Grindelwald until Professor Dumbledore returned! This is completely worthy of a special contribution award! Compared to that, what does violating some school rules matter?"

He quickly looked at Headmaster Dippet, "Armando… I…"

"No need to say anymore, Horace," Headmaster Dippet said, "Although they did violate many school rules, their motives were very Slytherin, which is understandable, and… they did make a great contribution. I'm not so senile as to expel the most talented students of Hogwarts!"

A tacit look of joy appeared on the faces of the three of them.

However, Headmaster Dippet immediately put on a stern face, "Don't be smug! You should be thankful that you made a contribution, otherwise… Hmph! However, although it's not enough to expel you, you did violate many school rules, so punishment is unavoidable! Horace, their punishment is entrusted to you…"

"Understood! Headmaster Dippet!" Professor Slughorn smiled happily, even his big belly rippling.

Among the professors present, except for Professor McGonagall who was slightly dissatisfied, the others had no objections.

Of course, Professor McGonagall's dissatisfaction wasn't about expelling them, but… Slytherin should at least have three hundred points deducted, right?

"Alright, let's go in and take a look, and see if that so-called magical power is really as alluring as they say," Headmaster Dippet said, leading a group of professors into the secret chamber.

Annie looked at the backs of the professors with a regretful expression.

Grindelwald had been defeated, so this much magical power… she would no longer have a chance to obtain it.

Fortunately, she had secretly absorbed quite a bit herself before…

When Professor Slughorn passed by the three of them, he smiled and patted Levid on the shoulder, then gave them a thumbs up.

Although Levid and the other two violated hundreds of school rules, they successfully captured so many of Grindelwald's followers, and even indirectly caused Grindelwald's defeat because of their timely reporting, allowing Dumbledore to return to Hogwarts in time!

These actions really made him, the Head of Slytherin, feel incredibly proud!

After the professors entered the secret chamber, they were immediately shocked by the shocking traces of battle in the chamber.

Being able to cause this degree of battle traces…

It was hard to imagine what kind of amazing power those two possessed!

The professors quickly gathered in front of the metal sphere made of goblin metal.

Watching them begin to test the magical power inside the metal sphere, Levid said to Professor Slughorn.

"Teacher, we're very tired… Can we go back and rest first? Can we talk about the punishment tomorrow?"

He knew the things inside the metal sphere better than anyone else, and he understood them better than anyone else, so there was really nothing to see.

Moreover, he had used too much Nightmare Magic tonight, and he was really unable to hold on anymore.

Although he was very curious whether Dumbledore could catch Grindelwald, he really didn't have the energy to wait for the news anymore…

"Don't mention punishment anymore." Professor Slughorn glanced furtively in the direction of Professor McGonagall.

After confirming that she hadn't heard, he continued, "I'll figure out your punishment... Hmm... You've certainly had quite a fright tonight. Go to the hospital wing for a check-up, and stay there overnight."

"Uh..."

"Don't refuse. That Grindelwald fellow knows so much bizarre Dark magic. What if you've been hit by some Dark curse that we haven't detected? Listen to me! Go to the hospital wing for a check-up first!"

And so, that night, the three had no choice but to have their bodies checked at the hospital wing and stay there overnight...

Naturally, there was nothing wrong with their bodies, so after drinking some calming potions, they fell into a deep sleep in their respective hospital beds.

...

The moon hung high in the sky.

Dumbledore stood in the Forbidden Forest, bathed in moonlight, and sighed helplessly.

Grindelwald was right. Even though his strength was currently less than his own, if he hadn't been intent on killing him, he wouldn't have been able to stop him...

Sure enough... Grindelwald had escaped, even taking a member of the Wizengamot with him...

After another sigh, Dumbledore, concerned about the safety of the school, hurried back.

Not long after he left, a ripple appeared on a large tree not far from where he had been standing.

Then, a layer of bark peeled away.

A pale-faced Grindelwald and Vita emerged from the hollow tree.

Read the latest chapter at w-w-w.i-r-e-a-d.n-e-t!

"I didn't expect... to lose so badly tonight..."

Grindelwald had originally thought that with his strength, he could retreat easily even if Dumbledore returned.

But he didn't expect... Dumbledore's strength to increase so much for some unknown reason.

Caught off guard, Grindelwald even lost the Elder Wand...

Although he was defiant, saying he would take the Elder Wand back in the future, he knew how difficult that would be.

Dumbledore was already strong, and with the amplification of the Elder Wand...

"Vita, we need to lie low for a while..." Grindelwald said with a lost expression.

"Sir... we haven't lost yet. At least, the operation at the Magical Congress of the United States was very successful!" Vita said, "We can secretly transfer the remaining forces to America in batches, and then lie low. Find a way to completely seize the power of the Magical Congress!"

"Okay... let's go back... As for Olivander and the others, we have to find a way to rescue them. But for now..."

"Please preserve our strength first... Also, we need to go back quickly and transfer our forces! Even if they have all been trained, they can't completely keep secrets under an excessive amount of Veritaserum!" Vita said urgently.

At this moment, Vita's eyes were full of gratitude. She knew very well that if Grindelwald hadn't pulled her away when he left, she might have been thrown into Azkaban by the British Ministry of Magic like the other unconscious people...

Azkaban... that was the most terrifying wizard prison in the world...

...

When Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts, the Aurors had already arrived.

He ran into the leader of the group right at the entrance.

And the leader was Newt's brother, Theseus Scamander.

"Dumbledore, have you captured Grindelwald?" Theseus asked bluntly.

Dumbledore shook his head regretfully, "Although I defeated him, he was determined to leave, and it was difficult for me to stop him."

"What a pity... If the Aurors had all been here tonight, we could have definitely caught him!" Theseus said with a regretful expression, while a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.

"Don't say that, things happened suddenly, you've already come very quickly," Dumbledore said quickly.

"Alright, I won't say anymore, I have to take them all back first. We can definitely dig up some valuable things from their mouths!" Theseus said, and ordered the Aurors to load all the unconscious Wizengamot members onto the Thestral carriages.

After sending the Aurors away, Dumbledore first returned to the secret chamber.

He happened to see Headmaster Dippet directing the other professors to seal up the secret chamber.

"Armando, how are Veder and the others?" Dumbledore asked anxiously.

"They all went to the hospital wing to have their bodies checked. If nothing goes wrong, they should be asleep by now... After tossing and turning for most of the night, it's a wonder those kids can handle it!" Headmaster Dippet said casually.

"I see..." Dumbledore sighed.

Dippet looked at Dumbledore's expression and knew the result of his pursuit.

"Don't sigh. If that person could be caught so easily, he wouldn't have caused such a big stir in the entire European wizarding world. However... because of Veder and the others' accidental intervention, he suffered a considerable blow tonight! In my opinion, it won't be so easy for him and his Wizengamot to be as arrogant as before! Tonight, he left his most elite subordinates here..."

Hearing this, Dumbledore, who had been feeling quite heavy-hearted, suddenly felt a little lighter.

Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, he wanted to speak.

"Alright, I know what you want to say. Although Veder and the others have violated at least hundreds of school rules, even more Gryffindor than Gryffindor, I won't expel them. I'm considering whether to award them a special contribution award."
