Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

“I've heard that voice before,” Leif said calmly.

“Oh? Who is it?” the senior asked.

“Gellert Grindelwald.”

At that moment, the door in front of Annie was pulled open, and Vita Rosier was standing behind it.

“Aunt.” Annie called out timidly.

“Yes, Annie, come in.” Vita let Annie in and then closed the door tightly.

Leif and the senior ignored the door, passing through it as if it were a layer of smoke, and walked inside.

Behind the door was a lavishly decorated office.

The man was sitting behind a large desk, looking gently at Annie, who had just walked in and seemed uneasy.

“Miss Rosier, welcome… welcome to my family.” Grindelwald stood up and said warmly.

“You… hello, Mr. Grindelwald,” Annie said nervously.

“Don't be nervous, Annie… may I call you Annie?” Grindelwald smiled.

“Of course, sir…”

“Don't be nervous, Annie. Now that you've joined our family, we're family. Would you be so nervous around your own family?” Grindelwald said gently.

“No, sir.”

“So, relax, child. Would you like some dessert? Perhaps you, like your aunt, enjoy French pastries?” Grindelwald said, opening a cabinet next to him and displaying the desserts inside.

Annie couldn't help but widen her eyes. It was a cabinet with an Undetectable Extension Charm cast on the inside, and the cabinet was densely packed with all kinds of desserts…

She had never seen so many desserts in her life!

“Or would you prefer English ones?” Grindelwald asked.

“No, French is fine,” Annie said quickly.

“Very well.” Grindelwald knocked on the cabinet door, and several plates of desserts automatically flew out and landed in front of Annie.

“Juice? Or something else? Don't be shy, I have all kinds of drinks here,” Grindelwald added.

“Any… anything is fine,” Annie said quickly.

At this moment, the senior, who had been watching them, couldn't help but sigh, “This guy is really scary. Even when facing a child, he doesn't forget to maintain his persona…”

Leif crossed his arms and said, “That's for sure. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to gather so many loyal subordinates. To be honest, as a leader, he does have a unique charm.”

At this time, Grindelwald didn't get straight to the point but quietly watched Annie eat the dessert and drink the juice.

“Is it good?”

“Goo… good.” Annie put down the dessert somewhat uneasily. “Sir, do… do you really agree to let me join your cause?”

“Of course, I welcome any wizard who is willing to join our family. So, when I learned that you wanted to join, I had Vita bring you over,” Grindelwald said with a smile.

“But… although I want to join, I'm too young and don't know how I can help…” Annie said somewhat uneasily.

“Everyone has a place that suits them, Annie,” Grindelwald said softly.

Annie was very excited when she heard this, “As long as you need it, I am very willing to serve you.”

“Not serve me, Annie, but for our great cause…” Grindelwald said solemnly.

“Yes!” Annie nodded solemnly.

Suddenly, Grindelwald asked as if casually, “I heard that you will be enrolling at Beauxbatons this year?”

“Yes, Beauxbatons. My parents are there.”

“Yes, a very good school…” Grindelwald pondered for a moment and then said, “In fact, we happen to have something we need you for. Our cause needs your help.”

“Really? What is it?” Annie asked excitedly.

“I was wondering, would you be willing to go to Hogwarts?” Grindelwald asked. “Of course, if you're not willing…”

“I am willing!” Annie nodded repeatedly, “If it can help our cause…”

Grindelwald's face was full of joy, “That's great! I believe you will be able to complete the task perfectly. Moreover, Hogwarts is no worse than Beauxbatons, so don't worry that this task will delay your studies.”

“What do you need me to do?” Annie asked impatiently.

“I need you to help me observe two people… they, like you, are new students enrolling this year, and they are very important to our cause! So… get close to them, become their friends, and then report to me anything you learn about them.”

As Grindelwald spoke, he took out a file bag from the drawer.

“Information about the two of them is in this file bag. Take it back and read it carefully. Also, among these two people, if possible… focus on Leif.”

“Okay!” Annie excitedly took the file bag. “Is there anything else to pay attention to?”

“There is one more thing… this thing is even more important than observing your two classmates.” Grindelwald said, “I need you to help me find a notebook, and then… find out what's recorded in the notebook. This task may be a bit heavy and also has a certain degree of danger… if you're not willing…”

Annie said eagerly, “I am willing!”

A smile appeared on the corner of Grindelwald's mouth, “Good, remember, if you can't find out anything, it doesn't matter, just bring the notebook back to me.”

“Understood!”

“The people will remember your contribution to our great cause, Miss Rosier…”

…

At this moment, the dream gradually dissipated, and the castle and Grindelwald turned back into white mist.

Annie's clothes returned to their original appearance, and her expression became confused again, standing blankly in a white mist.

“This silly girl is so easily fooled… but it also shows that the mastermind is Grindelwald. But… we still can't figure out Grindelwald's motive,” the senior said.

“Perhaps it's still our previous guess, he may have seen some incomplete pictures with his divination. And in those pictures, there may be something that affects his ambition. What he's doing should just be trying to verify it,” Leif said, “Because I followed Annie tonight and found that she was looking for the location in the notebook, but when she got there, she didn't know exactly what she was looking for.”

“Then what are you going to do next?” the senior asked.

“I'm not going to do anything, I'll pretend I don't know,” Leif said.

The senior frowned, “In that case, you won't be able to take the notebook away. What about your ancient magic?”

“It doesn't matter, I've already memorized all the contents of the notebook. If you didn't leave anything special on that notebook, then Annie can keep carrying this notebook. Anyway, she can't see the ancient magic, so it won't affect my practice of ancient magic.”

The senior student sighed and said, "Okay... I'm just worried now that the images he saw might have included ancient magic. That means your ancient magic might be exposed and impossible to hide. If that happens... the person who plotted against me might also target you because of it."

"There's no use worrying too much now. Before we understand more, we can only take things one step at a time..."

After pondering for a moment, Leif opened his mouth again and said, "Keywords: notebook, Leif Weasley, Tom Riddle."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding white mist began to churn again. Immediately, the dream transformed into a new scene.

"Ah... this is Hogwarts, and it's the corridor in the library," the senior student said with a hint of nostalgia in her voice.

"Yes..." Leif quietly watched the scene in front of him.

At this moment, the confusion on Annie's face disappeared again, and the clothes on her body transformed once more.

She stood at the end of the corridor in a semi-transparent cloak, quietly spying on what was ahead.

Leif knew that because this was Annie's memory, even though she was wearing an Invisibility Cloak at the time, Leif and the senior student could see through it due to the God's-eye view and see her.

No mistake, every word, every sentence, every detail, all in plain sight!

Leif said helplessly, "So, she was spying on us that night."

At this moment, in front of where Annie was spying, Leif saw his and Tom's figures...

Because Leif didn't notice Annie in the dark when he used the Nightmare Magic to disguise the lock at the time, in Annie's view, Leif and Tom directly opened the library door and went inside...

At this moment, Annie seemed to hesitate for a moment, but in the end, she didn't risk returning to the library again and turned to leave.

The senior student asked, "Is this the night you went to find the notebook?"

"Yes... Now it seems that she and I were right behind each other! She took the notebook one step ahead of us and then ran into us," Leif said somewhat dejectedly. "However, she shouldn't know that we came to find the notebook..."

...

Annie looked at the ruins in front of her with doubt.

The locations recorded in the notebook were all ruins like this.

No matter how she searched, she couldn't find anything special about these ruins.

She had already searched three ruins in a row, and she was even feeling a little dazed just now, but there was still nothing.

"Forget it, I'll go back tonight," Annie thought that she might be tired.

Behind a large tree, Leif silently watched Annie hide herself in the Invisibility Cloak and disappear into the spot.

He had just brought Annie back.

Under the influence of the Nightmare Magic, Annie didn't realize that she had been gone for a long time. She thought that she had just been in a daze for a moment.

"What exactly did Grindelwald see that made him value me and Tom so much? Even knowing that he would face Dumbledore, he still resolutely came to England to find us?"

"Did the images he predicted contain the content of ancient magic? Or... did the images simply show me taking the notebook, and then he realized the importance of the notebook to me, so he wanted to take the notebook in advance? But he didn't know what was recorded in the notebook?"

Filled with doubts, Leif spent a lot of effort to return to his dormitory.

As soon as Leif lay down, he heard Tom's voice in his ear, cast with the Whispering Charm. "You went out again tonight?"

"Yes... you finally woke up," Leif said.

"What did you go out to do?"

"It's nothing, just confirmed one thing, and that is that Annie Rosier is indeed a Pure-Blood fanatic."

Tom turned his head in surprise and glanced at Leif on the bed next to him.

Thinking of Grindelwald's terror, Tom couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Then what do you plan to do? Why not... tell Dumbledore?"

"First of all, the method I used to confirm that she is a Pure-Blood fanatic cannot be shown in front of Dumbledore. Secondly, I think it's best for us to continue pretending that we don't know anything."

Tom frowned and said, "I really can't understand your thoughts... Now that you know her background, I have ways to make her expose her identity herself. Why do you want to pretend that you don't know anything?"

"Keeping her will allow us to use her to plot against Grindelwald at any time. That old guy made us suffer such a big loss in Godric's Hollow. Doing nothing doesn't suit my personality."

After Tom was silent for a while, he said, "That makes sense. We have to trick him! However, this matter needs to be considered in the long term."

"I actually already have a plan in mind, but... it's best to figure out what Grindelwald's real purpose is in wanting to understand us!" Leif said thoughtfully. "I want to know what he wants to get through us! That way, my plan can be truly perfected."

In Leif's view, if he could successfully trick Grindelwald, then he would definitely not lack the merit points used to upgrade the garbage system.

"Then we have to ask Rosier," Tom said coldly.

"Don't always be so cold. Be a little gentler to Annie. Otherwise, even if she's stupid, she should know that you're suspicious. That would be alarming the snake."

"Okay... Isn't it just acting? I'm also good at acting." Regarding his own life safety, Tom didn't want to disturb Leif's plan because of his recklessness, so he very readily agreed to Leif's request.

"Based on your experience, what do you think Grindelwald would be interested in?" Leif asked.

Leif felt that Grindelwald was known as the Dark Lord, and Tom would also be the future Dark Lord. Maybe they would have something in common.

Tom said angrily, "That's inexplicable! What do you mean by based on my experience? It's as if I'm the same kind of person as Grindelwald!"

"You're not the same kind of person? It's refreshing to hear that, Tom!" Leif sneered.

"In fact, in my opinion, you and Grindelwald are more like the same kind of person!" Tom said seriously.

"Nonsense! I'm a good person certified by Dumbledore! How can I be like Grindelwald?"

"You're a good person? Hehe, it's refreshing to hear you say that... How many times have you tricked me? In any case, this is the last time I'll help you! Leif!" Tom said angrily.
