Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil
#166 - If someone has to pay the price, let me pay it.
Minister's Office.
Dumbledore quietly looked at the Elder Wand in his hand.

This uniquely shaped wand, even just holding it in his hand, allowed him to feel an extremely powerful magic within…
This was once the "artifact" that he and Grindelwald had most desired, but now, it seemed to have become the most useless thing.
The door to the Minister's office was pushed open.
The Minister for Magic walked in, looking exhausted.
"Albus…" the Minister for Magic greeted him and sat down opposite Dumbledore.
He knew very well why Dumbledore had come.
Because Dumbledore had come more than once.
"Hector… Regarding Grindelwald, I ask you again, please don't be too obedient to him…" Dumbledore said cautiously.
"I understand what you mean, Albus… But, what he did at the American Magical Congress has terrified everyone. No one wants to become the second Picquery…" the Minister for Magic sighed.
In the past, when facing political enemies, Grindelwald might assassinate, threaten, or kidnap them.
But now… this bastard actually started framing people!
In fact, if it was just framing, everyone wouldn't be so afraid.
The key is… many people who have reached their current positions in the Ministry of Magic have skeletons in their closets… So, if Grindelwald wants to deal with them, he really might not need to frame them!
No one would doubt that Grindelwald, with his abilities, wouldn't be able to find evidence!
Therefore, those who are clean are afraid of being framed, and those who are not clean are even more guilty.
In this situation, very few dare to offend Grindelwald.
"Fortunately, the suggestions he has made so far haven't been too bad," the Minister for Magic said helplessly.
Dumbledore felt a wave of sorrow in his heart.
Just because they fear him, they let him do whatever he wants…
Has the Ministry of Magic now lost all its courage?
Back then, when Grindelwald first began to wreak havoc in Europe, so many people bravely stood up and fought bloody battles with him and his subordinates.
But now… why doesn't anyone dare to confront him anymore?
Dumbledore suddenly remembered what Grindelwald had said when they met before…
【So what if you seized the Elder Wand? Do you think I'll give you a chance to use it?】
Many times, it's like this. If the other party is using a knife, many people will resist.
Because everyone personally feels the danger.
But, if the other party is using a soft knife… then fewer people resist…
Because people are not very vigilant against soft knives.
They just feel that there is no danger, no need to resist…
Grindelwald is slowly infiltrating and manipulating the Ministry of Magic in a method akin to boiling a frog in warm water!
"Albus… if Grindelwald hasn't caused any bad effects now, in fact… we don't necessarily have to defeat him…" the Minister for Magic said hesitantly.
Dumbledore looked at him deeply, said nothing more, just sighed, and prepared to leave.
Boiling a frog in warm water… Isn't the current Minister for Magic the frog being boiled?
"Albus… I know you are disappointed in us, but… what can we do?" the Minister for Magic said, looking at Dumbledore's back: "If… you really want to defeat him, no one in the Ministry of Magic has that ability… Only you! Only you have that ability! Albus… If you really want to defeat him, you can't stay at Hogwarts anymore, you have to come out, you have to have access to power! You have to take the same approach as him!"
Dumbledore's lips trembled slightly, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
Can he have access to power? No… He dare not.
His past experiences made him unable to trust himself again.
What if he had access to power and couldn't control himself, then the world would face two Grindelwalds…
"When the time comes… I will resolve it," Dumbledore squeezed the Elder Wand in his hand and said softly.
If Grindelwald really couldn't be stopped… then he would have to break the rules one more time…
The Minister for Magic looked at the wand in his hand and suddenly understood his meaning a little.
This was, if they really couldn't do anything about Grindelwald, then they would just directly kill him?
But, in that case, without evidence, without reason, directly killing a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore's fate might only be to spend the rest of his life in Azkaban…
"Albus… is it really worth it?"
"If someone is destined to pay the price, then let it be me."
…
Safe house.
Leewood was squatting in the greenhouse in the garden, contentedly picking some ripe "fruits" of the Biting Cabbage and storing them in the suitcase next to him.
These Biting Cabbages, with the blessing of that special nutrient potion, looked larger than ordinary Biting Cabbages.
And the growth rate is also very fast…
When he was away from home, Toby had already helped him harvest many times.
Each time after the harvest, they would temporarily seal it using the method taught by the senior.
When it is needed, the seal can be unsealed and thrown out…
While throwing it out, you can even use the Transfiguration Charm to make them bigger!
This can appropriately increase their bite force and jumping ability…
These are also some small tricks taught by the senior.
However, so far, Leewood has not had the opportunity to use these plants in actual combat.
The key is… Tom is getting more and more cunning, he didn't fall for it…
As for the suitcase next to him…
Before leaving the United States, he consulted Newt overnight on the Undetectable Extension Charm, and even visited his suitcase, so that his Undetectable Extension Charm had made great progress, and then improved his own suitcase.
It was also at that time that Dumbledore was absent-minded, otherwise, he would never have allowed Leewood to learn these from Newt…
After all, these two guys are both troublemakers… Can there be good things if they get together to learn from each other?
In just one night, the two "scourges", one large and one small, got along very well, but unfortunately, the time was too short and Dumbledore was too anxious.
Leewood had to wave goodbye to Newt.
Before leaving, Newt also invited Leewood and Tom to visit his home.
No mistake a first a first a content a in one-one look!
It's a pity that Grindelwald suddenly came to England later, and then Leewood and Tom were completely grounded.
The most helpless thing belongs to Jacob…
He had just moved to England with his family to escape Grindelwald.
Unexpectedly, Grindelwald directly stole his home and became a high-ranking official in the British Ministry of Magic…
The United States is now the stronghold of the Wizarding Supremacist Party and can no longer go back. Dumbledore suggested that he could move to France or some other place again.
But this time, Jacob refused.
There is no clean place in this world anymore, so what is the point of moving around?
So, Jacob stayed and even built a house next to Newt's house in Dorset and settled down.
After Leewood finished picking, he walked out of the greenhouse.
From the outside, the area of this greenhouse is not large, but the area inside is not small.
After mastering the Undetectable Extension Charm, Leewood used it flexibly in all the places where it could be used.
As for the Ministry of Magic's ban?
As long as I haven't been discovered, I haven't broken the law!
What's there to worry about using the Undetectable Extension Charm in a house protected by the Fidelius Charm?
Leewood saw Tom the cat sleeping under the parasol in the garden.
The current Tom the cat is more like Tom than it was a month ago…
Its fur was originally light blue, but now the color is darker.
Moreover, all four paws are white… as if wearing white gloves…
"This is really a coincidence…"
Just as Leewood was sighing and preparing to go back to the house.
Tom the cat, who was lying under the parasol, suddenly stood up.
Then a familiar voice came into Leewood's mind.
"Leewood…"
"Senior? !" Leewood looked at Tom the cat in surprise.
"It's me."
"Has your research succeeded?" Leewood asked happily.
After Senior took away that Goblin alchemist, she announced that she would study quietly for a period of time.
During this time, Leewood couldn't find Senior.
So, Leewood had no idea how far Senior's progress had reached.
However, half a year has passed, and even if it hasn't succeeded, there should have been some progress.
Sure enough, he heard Senior say: "Not a success, but, good progress. I found the best emotional ratio of 'remnants', and the side effects have almost completely disappeared. Then I used Goblin metal and combined it with the Goblin's alchemy technology to create a regulator… to adjust the emotional components of the 'remnants' in my body and convert them into harmless 'remnants'."
"Oh? Doesn't that mean that the 'remnants' in your body no longer need me to help you absorb them?" Leewood asked happily.
Since there are no side effects, Senior will no longer rashly absorb this power in the future, and naturally there will be no danger to her life.
"No… There are too many 'remnants' in my body. Even if my regulator is running at full load, it can only convert a small part of them…" Senior replied.
"Then… you can convert some for a period of time, so that the regulator can slow down, and sooner or later it will be able to complete the conversion."
"I thought so before, but, it's not that simple. Otherwise, I wouldn't need to come to you." Senior said helplessly: "The new magic power converted will conflict with the original 'remnants'… If it is not released for a period of time, it will be assimilated again…"
"So… you are planning…" Leewood suddenly understood something.
Senior smiled and said: "Since I can convert a part of the harmless 'remnants', then you can naturally absorb them with confidence. Moreover, because the amount converted is too small, I don't need to take off my cloak at all to seep these 'remnants' out. So, I convert a part, and you can absorb a part. I believe that it won't be long before I can completely get rid of the originally certain death situation."
