Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

When Grindelwald said he could clear his name, everyone thought he was daydreaming.

However, when Dumbledore received this news, his expression changed drastically.

Since Grindelwald dared to say so publicly, he naturally had the confidence to clear his name…

Dumbledore understood Grindelwald's character!

Moreover… Dumbledore immediately realized something else…

He went directly to Azkaban to see the five Wizarding Supremacists who had been sentenced to life imprisonment.

The result… was very bad.

Because he discovered that all five of them, without exception, had gone mad…

Logically speaking, being imprisoned in a place like Azkaban, going mad would be the norm.

But how long had it been… barely over a week!

Even if they were to go mad, there was no reason for them to go mad so quickly?

Of course, in such an environment, it wouldn't be strange to go mad in a day.

However, it just so happened to coincide with the time node when Grindelwald announced that he would accept a public trial.

The five Wizarding Supremacists had all lost their minds simultaneously in a short period of time!

This was a bit too coincidental!

Obviously, Grindelwald hadn't been doing nothing during this period of silence, as everyone had imagined.

After figuring this out, Dumbledore could no longer remain calm…

They seemed to have… helped Grindelwald eliminate the witnesses who could have convicted him…

In other words… they had lost all the direct witnesses who could prove Grindelwald's crimes!

After Dumbledore left Azkaban through the fireplace, he remained silent in his office for a long time.

Grindelwald was completely restricting him in his own way…

If Grindelwald were to resort to illegal means as before… then he, Dumbledore, would not be afraid at all.

However… Grindelwald was now trying to act through legal means!

In this way, even he couldn't directly attack him!

This gave Dumbledore a great sense of crisis.

Even if Grindelwald didn't succeed this time, if he changed his past ways of doing things, he would become even more difficult to deal with!

Helpless, Dumbledore had no choice but to continue to the Ministry of Magic overnight.

The current British Minister for Magic was Hector Fawley, an enthusiastic and flamboyant wizard.

He seemed very enthusiastic about Dumbledore's visit.

This was because, with Dumbledore's presence, his work became much easier.

So, he was naturally very enthusiastic about Dumbledore.

Dumbledore, who was warmly welcomed into the Minister's office, felt a little helpless.

This Minister Fawley was fine in other aspects, but he seemed to lack awareness of the harm that Grindelwald had brought to the entire wizarding world.

Even when Grindelwald officially launched his attacks, and the magic ministries around the world united and responded with tension and caution,

This Minister Fawley still drifted along… not paying any attention to this matter.

He always seemed to think that Grindelwald's forces would not infiltrate Britain.

Precisely because of this, there had been increasing calls for him to step down recently…

Minister Fawley naturally realized that his position seemed to be in jeopardy.

Therefore, he had been staying in the Ministry of Magic recently, making a final effort to keep his ministerial seat.

And the last time Dumbledore captured so many Wizarding Supremacists, and even defeated Grindelwald, was a godsend for Fawley.

Therefore, no matter how little he had paid attention to Grindelwald before, he still used thunderous means when dealing with those arrested Wizarding Supremacists.

After extracting information from them at the fastest speed, he directly gave them a highly efficient trial.

The result of this trial was very satisfying to the public, which allowed Minister Fawley to recover a lot of face.

His ministerial position was therefore temporarily not so precarious.

As a result, he had a smile back on his face.

"Albus, is there something urgent that you've come to the Ministry of Magic so late?" Minister Fawley asked.

"About Grindelwald's matter…"

"Oh… so that's it… it's about his surrender, right? I was just about to ask you about this. What do you think… why is he doing this? How should we respond?" Minister Fawley immediately understood Dumbledore's intention.

However, he was no longer as impatient as before, but very actively asked Dumbledore for his thoughts.

Having experienced this near-downfall, even a fool would know how to express himself.

Moreover, Minister Fawley was not a fool.

"Yes, it is indeed this matter, this matter has become very serious… According to my understanding of him, he may really be able to clear all charges in this public trial!"

"How is that possible?" Minister Fawley widened his eyes, even though he had not paid much attention to Grindelwald's influence in the past, he knew what kind of person he was.

For such a notorious terrorist to say that he could clear his name was in itself a very ridiculous thing.

But now, Dumbledore was telling him that Grindelwald was likely to succeed? On what basis?

"We originally had enough witnesses, but unfortunately… they are all gone now," Dumbledore said regretfully.

Minister Fawley asked in surprise: "Are you talking about those Wizarding Supremacists who were sentenced to death by me?"

"Yes…"

Minister Fawley was stunned. In the past, he acted passively and was said by the public to not pay attention to Grindelwald.

Now, he acted vigorously… but instead helped Grindelwald clear the witnesses?

If the public knew about this… Minister Fawley could foresee how miserable he would be.

But… who could have known that Grindelwald would suddenly make such a move?

At this moment, Minister Fawley felt extremely wronged.

However, he also knew one thing, that is, the public would not care whether you knew or not…

No mistake, no first, no one, no hair, no content, all in one look!

As long as it is your decision that leads to bad results, they will hold you accountable!

Dumbledore knew what Minister Fawley was worried about when he saw his frozen expression.

"This is not your fault, Minister Fawley… none of us realized the problem. Moreover, at that time, we couldn't not have tried those Wizarding Supremacists. If we hadn't tried them, the result would have been even worse…" Dumbledore comforted him.

Minister Fawley closed his eyes and said helplessly: "Why am I so unlucky…"

After a while, Minister Fawley suddenly said: "If we can find evidence to prove his guilt again…"

"That would of course be the best. However, if he completely clears his name… then as long as he doesn't do those illegal things in the open, we won't be able to deal with him…"

"What exactly does this guy want to do… he can't really want to turn over a new leaf, can he?"

"No, in my opinion, he just wants to change his identity, change his methods, and then continue to fight against us…"

……

Safe house.

Tom looked at the Daily Prophet in his hand, the expression on his face was very wonderful.

"Vede… Grindelwald actually did what you said…"

Tom had heard very clearly what Li Weide had said to Annie at the beginning.

It was exactly the same as the steps Grindelwald was taking now.

The first is to clear his identity, and then, is to use legal means to enter politics…

At this moment, Tom was finally completely convinced of Li Weide's ability.

If what he said didn't make sense, Grindelwald wouldn't have chosen this method.

"Oh, Tom, please don't talk nonsense, okay? What do you mean Grindelwald did what I said? When did I teach him?" Li Weide directly denied.

He was just casually bragging to Annie… that is, his classmate!

If Dumbledore knew that he was the one who came up with the idea for Grindelwald… that would be terrible!

"Ah, yes, yes, you didn't teach…" Tom had to automatically shut his mouth.

What if this bastard killed someone to silence him if he said too much?

Even if he didn't kill someone to silence him, he couldn't stand being hit with a memory charm!

Li Weide took the newspaper in front of Tom and glanced at it, "Oh, as expected of Grindelwald, he can actually come up with such a way to turn the tables against the wind, tsk tsk…"

Tom was speechless for a while, are you praising Grindelwald? You came up with that idea! Isn't this equivalent to praising yourself?

Never seen such a shameless person!

"Can he really clear his name?" Tom couldn't help but ask again.

"It is unlikely to be completely cleared, but what cannot be cleared must only be some insignificant minor crimes. It only needs to pay some fines to clear them, as for the major crimes that can put him in jail… there must be none."

"In other words, his whitewashing this time is unstoppable?" Tom asked.

"No, on the contrary, I have many ways to turn his whitewashing into a farce." Li Weide smiled: "However, it is a pity that his opponent is a group of righteous wizards led by Dumbledore… they will definitely not take my methods."

As the saying goes, a gentleman can be deceived with principles.

The more you abide by the rules, the more helpless Dumbledore will be against you…

Grindelwald has already surrendered and accepted a public trial, what else do you want?

Besides waiting for the results of the public trial, what else can you, Dumbledore, do?

"Of course, among those who are unwilling to see Grindelwald clear his name, not all of them are righteous wizards, but even if these people want to play some conspiracies… but without the support of people like Dumbledore, they cannot play with Grindelwald. In this world, who else can play conspiracies and tricks better than Grindelwald?"

Tom pointed at Li Weide's nose, "You!"

"Me?"

"Of course it's you! Is it me?"

"Tom, you're starting to talk nonsense again… there may be a problem with your thinking. It is very dangerous to have problems with your thinking, I think I should help you correct it…"

"Correct your thinking… why are you pulling out your wand?"

"You'll understand in a moment, just some simple large memory restoration techniques…"

"Don't come over!"
