Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

The moonlight shone brightly, casting an eerie glow on the castle corridors.

Leiv De walked quietly through the corridor, his eyes fixed on the empty space ahead.

At this moment, all was silent, so even without Nagini's guidance, he could faintly hear the subtle sound of footsteps ahead.

The Disillusionment Charm, reinforced with ancient magic, completely concealed Leiv De's figure in the castle's darkness.

He was like a venomous snake, hidden in the shadows, intently watching its prey.

“Hiss hiss… (Turn left),” Nagini continued, pointing the way at a fork in the path.

Leiv De turned into the corridor on the left.

This corridor was lined with many ancient suits of armor, and the walls were adorned with numerous oil paintings.

Faint snores emanated from the oil paintings, as if the figures within had already drifted off to dreamland.

The joints of some of the suits of armor creaked and groaned, as if someone were still inside.

Suddenly, a window at the end of the corridor slowly opened, and a small footprint appeared on the windowsill.

Leiv De approached the open window and discovered that it overlooked a flower garden, not far from the greenhouses used for Herbology class.

A rustling sound came from the flower garden, likely the sound of someone's robes brushing against the grass.

Leiv De also climbed through the window, but thanks to the Silencing Charm he had cast on his shoes, his landing made no sound.

At the same time, he was also somewhat puzzled, wondering what this person was doing near the greenhouses.

Soon, his doubts were resolved.

Because he discovered that the manhole cover of a sewer leading to the castle from the greenhouse was silently moved aside, and then silently replaced.

Leiv De frowned and quickly followed.

“Nagini, is she still down there?”

“Hiss hiss hiss (Sewer, moving away…)”

Leiv De understood that the person was leaving Hogwarts Castle through the sewers…

This person really didn't know about any secret passages.

If Leiv De wanted to sneak out of the castle, he would never crawl through the sewers.

However, in order to find out the other party's purpose and whether it was related to his senior sister's notebook, he had no choice but to move the manhole cover and climb in.

This sewer was dry and not too long.

This time, even without Nagini's guidance, Leiv De could discern the other party's direction by the clear footprints on the ground.

Before long, Leiv De reached the end of the sewer.

The end of the sewer was hidden in a pile of weeds. After Leiv De pushed aside the weeds and walked out, he turned around and found that the entrance to the sewer was completely invisible from the outside.

In this way, this could actually be considered a "secret passage" leading to the castle.

At the exit of the sewer, there was a winding path that seemed to lead directly to the Forbidden Forest.

Hogwarts had a thousand years of history, and who knows how many secrets were hidden. This path must have been left by some predecessor who secretly ran to the Forbidden Forest to play.

Leiv De quickly followed, and with the help of Nagini, his "thermal imaging tracker," he never lost sight of the other party.

Soon, Leiv De entered the Forbidden Forest.

The person in front would occasionally stop, and after a while, would move again.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Leiv De suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart, and then the ancient magic power within his body trembled slightly.

Leiv De immediately took out the lighter from his pocket, and the ghostly blue light on the lighter was brighter than ever before!

Seeing the abnormality of the lighter, Leiv De knew that he seemed to be getting closer to the truth.

He put the lighter back into his pocket and quickly followed.

Not far ahead, Leiv De used the Eagle Eye Spell, which allowed him to see at night, and discovered some ruins in a forest.

He could clearly sense that there seemed to be something very familiar to him in those ruins!

Suddenly, a ripple appeared in the air in front of the ruins.

Then, a figure appeared there, holding a silver garment in her hand.

It turned out that the person had taken off the Invisibility Cloak.

The person stuffed the Invisibility Cloak in her backpack, then casually took off her cloak, revealing a head of golden hair.

Under Leiv De's Eagle Eye Spell, the person's face was exposed without a trace.

Anne Rosier.

Leiv De didn't feel too surprised about this.

Anne took a deep breath of the cold outdoor air at night, and then took out a notebook from her pocket.

Looking at the notebook, Leiv De's eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Anne opened the notebook and looked at it, then looked at the ruins in front of her, with a puzzled expression on her face.

Using the light of her wand, she carefully stepped into the ruins, comparing them with the notebook.

Leiv De quietly approached, then peered through the cracks in the ruins, silently watching her.

Anne walked through the ruins, carefully exploring something.

At this moment, Leiv De's gaze shifted away from her.

Because he found the same light as on the lighter on a collapsed pillar.

Leiv De glanced at Anne, then followed the ghostly blue light and stepped into the ruins as well.

Soon, Leiv De saw a large blob of silver-white magic power next to a collapsed staircase.

This is ancient magic power!

It looked exactly like the one Senior Sister showed in the dream!

At the same time, Anne also walked over, looking at the notebook in her hand while looking around with a puzzled expression.

Leiv De stood in the corner, quietly watching her.

At this moment, she was standing next to the blob of ancient magic power, but she didn't seem to see anything.

After a while, Anne sighed, put the notebook back in her bag, and walked out of the ruins.

Leiv De quietly watched Anne put on the Invisibility Cloak again and disappear in place.

“Nagini, follow her.” Leiv De crouched down and put Nagini, who was coiled around his hand, down.

Nagini nodded and quickly darted towards the place where Anne disappeared…

While Leiv De turned around and slowly came to the blob of ancient magic power.

Just as he stood next to the ancient magic, the ancient magic power within his body instantly boiled!

Leiv De pulled out his wand and gently touched the blob of ancient magic power with the tip of his wand.

The next second, the blob of ancient magic power surged into Leiv De's body along the wand like a tide!

“Hiss…” Leiv De gasped.

Not because of pain, but because… it felt so good!

An indescribable feeling of pleasure spread from the tip of the wand directly to his whole body!

In a matter of seconds, the blob of ancient magic power was completely absorbed by Leiv De!

Leiv De let out a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, the large blob of ancient magic power had completely disappeared.

After carefully feeling it for a while, Leiv De realized that the ancient magic power within his body had become much stronger!

In other words, the blue bar representing ancient magic had increased by a large amount!

The amount of increase, estimated, is much more than he could gain from a year of hard practice!

This place has ancient magic power, which means that the probability of the notebook in Annie's hand being the senior's notebook is as high as ninety-nine percent.

Currently, Leewood cannot be completely sure whether she knows about ancient magic.

However, judging from her performance just now, she probably doesn't know that ancient magic power is hidden here.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have seemed so puzzled by being 'empty-handed' here.

Perhaps, she thought there was something else hidden here?

With doubts, Leewood walked out of this ruin, feeling somewhat lucky tonight.

Tonight, he originally planned to wait for a rabbit at the location in the senior's memory, but unexpectedly, he ran into the person he was looking for as soon as he went out.

This also saved Leewood a lot of effort.

"Rustle…"

Nagini crawled out of the grass.

Leewood squatted down and let Nagini climb back onto his wrist.

Afterward, Leewood followed Annie again according to Nagini's guidance, and again found two ruins.

As a result, Leewood absorbed two more clumps of ancient magic power again.

At this point, Leewood has completely confirmed that what Annie is holding is the senior's notebook!

Moreover, she should be completely ignorant of ancient magic.

As for more information, Leewood couldn't guess.

However, he doesn't plan to guess, because there's no need!

When following her to the third ruin, Leewood had already controlled her with Nightmare Magic.

At this moment, she is circling around a big tree non-stop.

No mistakes, one song, one shot, one inside, one face, one look!

Leewood walked up to Annie only after absorbing the ancient magic power from this third ruin.

Annie stopped circling the tree as if she had received some order, and walked up to Leewood with a blank expression.

Her eyes were unfocused, and she looked very dazed.

Leewood raised his wand, and a wisp of white mist instantly hit Annie.

Annie's eyes rolled back, and she fell to the ground on the spot.

Hit by Nightmare Magic, Annie has completely fallen into a specific dream.

If Leewood doesn't dispel the Nightmare Magic, she won't be able to wake up on her own.

Leewood waved his wand lightly, and Annie's body floated up gently.

This is already deep in the Forbidden Forest, and Hogwarts Castle's Anti-Apparition Charm cannot affect this place.

So, Leewood reached out and grabbed Annie's arm, directly Apparating and disappearing into the Forbidden Forest.

… …

Wizard Tower.

First floor.

Annie was placed on the only long table on the first floor, continuing to sleep soundly.

Leewood, on the other hand, kept flipping through the notebook.

This is indeed the senior's notebook.

However, after completely flipping through it, Leewood put the notebook back into Annie's bag.

"Whoosh."

Leewood turned an empty bottle into a chair, then pulled the chair up to the long table.

After sitting down, Leewood directly entered Annie's dream with Nightmare Magic.

In Annie's dream, she was sitting under a tree, quietly reading a book.

Completely unaware of Leewood hiding on the side.

In fact, this dream that Annie is experiencing was also created by Leewood.

So, as long as Leewood doesn't actively appear in front of Annie, she won't be able to see Leewood.

"Senior, are you there?"

Leewood felt a trace of fluctuation in the Nightmare Magic power beside him.

Then, that senior with black air all over her body appeared beside him.

"Is she the one who took my notebook?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the reason?"

"Preparing to investigate… so I invited you to come together."

"Okay, let's start then."

The senior said, preparing to take action.

But Leewood stopped her.

"I plan to use another method," Leewood said.

"Another method?" The senior asked doubtfully: "Isn't another method not as fast as this one?"

"I want her to remain unaware, I still have a use for her."

There are a total of two ways to inquire about other people's secrets using Nightmare Magic.

The first method is the one that the senior is planning to use.

This method is very direct, which is torture.

Directly appear in the other person's dream, and then arrange countless nightmares for her.

In these nightmares, the other person will experience encounters more terrifying than hell.

Even the most determined person will collapse in these countless nightmares, and then reveal all their secrets.

However, people who have been tortured in this way will still remember the scenes in the dream after waking up, because they have experienced unforgettable pain.

It can be said that it is not only a method of torture, but also a method that tortures people more than the Cruciatus Curse.

The second method is the one that Leewood plans to use.

This method is not torture, but relies on keywords to awaken the memories in the other person's subconscious.

Then let the other person replay the events that happened in the dream.

It's a bit like entering a Pensieve to observe other people's memories.

Although this method is a bit slow, the other person will not remember the scenes in the dream after waking up.

And Leewood doesn't plan to let Annie know everything that happened tonight.

Because, if it is proven that Annie is a spy sent by Grindelwald, then Leewood can still use her to pass some wrong information to Grindelwald.

It is beneficial to Leewood's next calculations.

So, letting her know nothing is more beneficial to Leewood.

"Okay, then you do it, it just so happens that I also want to see how far your Nightmare Magic has progressed."

The senior didn't have any objections to this.

Leewood nodded, then looked at Annie, who was reading a book not far away.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Keywords: Notebook, Annie Rosier, Vita Rosier, Gellert Grindelwald."

In the next second, the entire dream instantly turned into mist, and then the scene they were in also underwent a huge change!

And Annie, who was originally sitting under the tree, also stood up, and the clothes on her body automatically turned into a light blue dress.

The surrounding environment was finally constructed, and this seemed to be the interior of a castle.

The dazed look on Annie's face has also disappeared.

She walked in the long corridor inside the castle, her expression a little uneasy, and a little expectant.

Leewood and the senior followed behind her, watching her memories quietly, just like in the Pensieve.

At the end of the corridor is a huge wooden door.

Annie walked to the wooden door and knocked gently.

"Come in," a familiar voice came from inside the room.
