Harry returns from Hogwarts Legacy

Chapter 153 Who is the most powerful dark wizard in the world?
Thursday was a sunny but still chilly day.

After all, it is still winter now. The Scottish Highlands are at such a high latitude that it will never be spring-like all year round like the equator.

Even with the existence of the North Atlantic Current, the latitude of the Scottish Highlands is almost the same as that of Moscow.

In the afternoon, the four colleges will take a course on protecting magical creatures together.

However, considering that this was the first class, Newt did not plan to let the students learn any practical courses, but instead planned to teach some theoretical knowledge.

Newt set up a tent next to Hagrid's hut as his usual residence.

This tent looks small, but there is a whole new world inside.

After all, he is an old senior of Hufflepuff, and his criminal record is still under control. It's not like he has never abused the Traceless Extension Charm.

Gellert and Hagrid squeezed together and slept in the same room.

Of course, he also needed to change his appearance, and now his last name is Scamander.

When Gellert learned that his surname was going to be changed to "Scamander", he showed an unprecedented desire to resist, but was suppressed by Dumbledore and Gavvie.

So, he obediently accepted the new name "Gail Scamander".

For this reason, Newt really felt like drinking a glass of ice-cold butterbeer in the dog days of summer. He felt refreshed and happy. How could he describe it in one word?
"Harry."

When Draco arrived at the tent, he spoke to Harry first, "Is Miss Grindelwald your friend?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Harry said with a smile.

"Isn't she really the descendant of Grindelwald from more than fifty years ago? The dark wizard?" Draco moved a chair and sat next to Harry: "I think she should be, after all..."

Draco didn't say the next sentence, but it was clear that I had heard my great-grandfather mention this name.

"Hey, Malfoy." Ron patted him on the back. "It's adults' business, kids, don't ask questions!"

Normally, Draco would have retorted if Ron said that.

But this time, Draco did not attack Ron from any angle. He just said something casually, which made Ron break down his defense.

"2-16 Weasley."

Ron took a deep breath and decided not to argue with Draco.

Gellert, standing by, was concentrating on wiping the coins in the sniffing nest with a rag, as if he didn't care at all about the argument about his sister.

But his pricked ears revealed the fact that he was eavesdropping on the children's conversation.

"But Grindelwald..." Draco suddenly said, "Who do you think is stronger, him or the You-Know-Who?"

"Of course it's You-Know-Who!" Seamus replied, "Think about it, you can say Grindelwald's name at will, but do you dare to say You-Know-Who's name?"

Draco wanted to retort, but after thinking about it, he realized, you know what, what Seamus said actually makes sense.

Indeed, everyone calls Grindelwald by his name, but no one dares to call the mysterious man by his code name 'Voldemort', let alone Voldemort's real name.

"No, I think Grindelwald is stronger."

Hannah from Hufflepuff stepped forward, she felt the need to add a little luster to the medal of her senior.

After all, Grindelwald was defeated by his senior Hufflepuff classmates. Raising Grindelwald's status would also add luster to Hufflepuff.

After all, killing an ordinary wizard is nothing, but killing a wizard of the mysterious man's level is really amazing.

Grindelwald smiled as he wiped the gold coins. Even though he thought Voldemort was an idiot, he still felt that he was much stronger than Voldemort.

"How is that possible!" Theodore Nott from Slytherin stood up and said, "Think about it, who is Voldemort? He is the dignified 'Dark Lord'. What is this Grindelwald you are talking about? It's just his name written on a chocolate frog card. He is just a 'Dark Wizard' defeated by Dumbledore."

"That's right!" Blaise Zabini also said, "If it weren't for Dumbledore, we might not know this name! What is there for a Grindelwald to brag about? Look at his descendants who come to Slytherin to study, and they don't even dare to admit that they are his descendants..."

Draco's face suddenly froze.

He wanted to stop Bryce from getting himself killed—but not for Bryce's sake, just to avoid getting covered in blood.

But it was too late, Bryce had already said it.

Grindelwald didn't care at all and continued to wipe the gold coins intently.

After all, in his opinion, being defeated by Al and having it written on a Chocolate Frog card was a sweet thing.

"It's better than your Slytherin You-Know-Who!" Ernie Macmillan of Hufflepuff said loudly, "Just think about it, the You-Know-Who you boasted about was defeated by a one-year-old baby! God, if I were him, I would rather stick my head down and drown in the footbath than lose to a one-year-old baby."

You know what, the Slytherins couldn't refute what Ernie said.

What else can I say? The baby who killed Voldemort is now sitting next to them and is their classmate...

It is an indisputable fact that Voldemort was killed by a baby.

"No, no!" Daphne Greengrass retorted, "Losing to a baby is shameful, but it's better than losing to the Niffler, right? I remember hearing my father say that our Professor Scamander once participated in the hunt for Grindelwald. It is said that it was his Niffler who acted in time and stole a key magical item, which led to Grindelwald's defeat..."

Gellert, who had been listening attentively to the children's debate, suddenly blushed.

Angry.

He never thought that the rumors outside could be so outrageous that he even lost to Sniff...

I lost to Al! I lost to Al! The greatest white wizard in the world! Not some Niffler!
You bastard students! Can you please stop spreading rumors!
It has nothing to do with Sniff!
"That was just the assistance of the Niffler! But the fact is that Professor Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald!" Justin Finch-Fletchley shouted, "With the help of our Hufflepuff senior, Professor Newt Scamander. I think Grindelwald is the strongest dark wizard. After all, he was defeated by Dumbledore - and the mysterious man you are talking about! He was defeated by a baby!"

"Grindelwald!"

"Mystery man!"

The two sides started a chaotic quarrel, and the Gryffindor students and Ravenclaws sat on the sidelines and watched the show.

After all, the mysterious man came from Slytherin. As the saying goes, black and red are also red. Voldemort's power can also prove indirectly that Slytherin does not keep idle people.

Hufflepuff tried to prove Grindelwald's power, and then highlight their own excellence - you see, senior Newt was the main force involved in capturing the world's most powerful dark wizard, this is the glory of our Hufflepuff.

"It's great to be young." Harry commented sharply from the side. He looked at Gellert who was wiping the gold coins nonchalantly and said loudly: "In fact, I think Grindelwald is very powerful. After all, compared to a baby, an adult Niffler still has certain fighting power..." Gellert took a deep breath, put down the gold coins in the Niffler's nest and closed the cage.

He decided to wipe it with something else, like... the Sniff itself.

So he reached out and grabbed a Niffler.

However, in his excitement, his hand slipped, and the niffler spread out its four legs, fluttered along his sleeve, and went into his clothes.

"Hahahahaha..." Harry laughed even more happily after seeing this scene. What should he say? Maybe the Niffler is really Gellert's nemesis?
I must share this with Vivi when I get back, and talk about the embarrassing thing that Gellert experienced today! And the debate among the colleges about which Dark Lord is more powerful.

After arguing for a while, Newt and Tina finally arrived, with several Niffler pups hanging on Newt's body.

"What are you arguing about?" Tina asked curiously.

"Mrs. Scamander!" Hannah spoke first. "We are arguing about who is stronger, Grindelwald or You-Know-Who. I personally think that Grindelwald is stronger than You-Know-Who, because Voldemort was defeated by a baby..."

"Nonsense!" Daphne quickly retorted, "How can Grindelwald be considered the strongest dark wizard? He is just a prisoner of your Hufflepuffs! And he was defeated by the Nifflers!"

Grindelwald, who was sniffing something from his bosom not far away, turned pale.

Tina noticed the change in Grindelwald's expression. She suppressed her smile and said to her classmates, "Kids, there is nothing to argue about..."

"Assistant Professor Gale." Harry suddenly asked, "Which side of the students do you think is right? Do you support Voldemort being killed by a baby, or the Niffler capturing Grindelwald?"

"That's fine with me," Gellert said through gritted teeth.

Except for Harry, only Tina and Newt knew Gellert's true identity.

They didn't even tell Hagrid.

Of course, Dumbledore had warned them in advance not to tell Hagrid, because this master of Legilimency could not keep any secrets.

Seeing Gellert so frustrated, the two of them smiled at each other.

No one expected that he would suffer such a setback when he arrived at Hogwarts.

Think about it, how could the proud Gellert have ever suffered such an injustice? He was mocked by a group of little wizards as a Niffler, and he had no way to stop them.

This is Hogwarts. Dumbledore and his sister are in charge of the castle. Even if he had three more guts, he wouldn't dare to do anything to the little wizards.

Even if he was given Alfonso's snake gall, he wouldn't be able to do this.

"Okay, kids." Tina said to everyone, trying not to laugh, "This is nothing to argue about, especially for you Slytherins. You must realize that the You-Know-Who is not your pride."

"Yes, Mrs. Scamander," the students answered in unison.

"What a shame," Seamus whispered. "I thought we'd see a real fight between the two houses."

"Then remember to secretly cast a spell next time." Hermione said in a low voice.

It should be said that Newt’s theoretical lectures were very good. Although he had some social phobia, when it came to his major, that social phobia miraculously disappeared.

Since everyone mentioned the Niffler this time, he held the Niffler in one hand and began to tell everyone about the habits of this animal.

"The Niffler is a burrowing animal covered in black fur, with a long snout and a penchant for anything shiny."

At this point, Newt held up the Niffler and told everyone about its appearance and habits.

"Also, monsters often raise Nifflers to dig for treasures deep underground - but I want to remind you that although Nifflers are gentle and even affectionate to you, they can cause damage to your property, so don't raise them at home."

Hearing this, the students burst into laughter.

Newt saw Daphne raise her hand and asked, "Ms. Greengrass, do you have any questions?"

"So Professor, did the Niffler really steal something from Grindelwald?" Daphne asked.

"Yes, that's true." Newt nodded with a smile.

He continued, "Nifflers live in their own dens, usually 20 feet underground, and they have six to eight pups in a litter... so the niffler pup you saw just now that I was holding in my arms is from a litter."

At the end of the get out of class, Newt gave everyone a golden Niffler badge with a pearl necklace on it, looking very stylish.

"All it needs is a pair of sunglasses," Justin commented sharply.

Everyone had one, even Assistant Coach Gale.

But assistant coach Gale obviously didn't look happy, and no one knew why.

"Look at Assistant Professor Gale," Hufflepuff's Hannah asked in confusion, "The Niffler Badge is so beautiful, why is he unhappy? Doesn't he like it?"

He really didn't like it very much, Harry thought.

But the dedicated Gellert still pinned the Niffler badge on his chest.

In some ways, Gellert was indeed much more powerful than Voldemort, and Harry didn't think Voldemort would wear a badge with his big face, Harry Potter, on it.

Harry told Vivi about this incident during dinner.

"You are so mean..." Vivi said softly, but she had no intention of mourning for her stupid brother at all.

He asked for it, Vivi thought.

She thought about Gellert's reluctant look as he put on the Niffler Badge, and couldn't help laughing.

When it was time to go back to the dormitory, Vivi pretended to glance at Miss Farley casually and saw the "OK" gesture she made to her.

She curled the corners of her lips slightly, turned and walked towards the Slytherin common room.

As she expected, when she stepped into the Slytherin common room, there were more than a dozen senior students waiting for her there.
