Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord.

Rozier also frowned, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.

Suddenly, Rozier clapped his hands, startling Abernathy who was standing nearby.

"Rozier, what are you doing? What happened?"

Abernathy asked in confusion.

Rozier, however, spoke with a mixture of joy and frustration:

"I understand what Wentworth means! Wentworth is trying to create momentum for himself!"

"Building momentum?"

Abernathy repeated, seemingly understanding but not quite.

“That’s right, it’s all about creating hype! Didn’t you see what Wentworth wrote in his letter? Find this reporter, write another article, and push Wentworth forward, saying that Wentworth insisted on going to that dense forest!”

"Wentworth's meaning is very clear: he wants to establish himself as the leader, not Dumbledore! A first-year student who can lead Dumbledore's actions, or rather, a first-year student who can receive Dumbledore's close protection, must be an unparalleled genius in Hogwarts!"

"Wentworth is already starting to cultivate an image of strength for himself! As long as this kind of report keeps popping up, by the time Wentworth leaves Hogwarts, his name will likely be known throughout Europe!"

Upon hearing Rozier's explanation, Abernathy finally showed a look of sudden realization.

At this moment, Rozier said with some regret:

"Back then, we allowed our enemies to slander us through newspapers. We always believed that power could solve everything, but we didn't understand that public opinion is also a form of power!"

"It's a pity. I only just realized this myself. If we had paid more attention to the power of public opinion in the past, our struggle back then might not have been so difficult, and we might have been able to find more like-minded partners."

Upon hearing Rozier's words, Abernathy fell silent for a moment. Then, Abernathy patted Rozier on the shoulder and said:

"It's okay, we have Wentworth now!"

"Yes, now that we have Wentworth, he will make our UMNO party even stronger!"

Rozier echoed.

Chapter 81 I Want to Learn Dark Magic

Just as Rozier and Abernathy were envisioning a bright future for the UMNO, Wentworth, whom they saw as the hope for the party's rise, found Cedric and Green.

"You said you want to learn dark magic?"

Cedric said with a look of great alarm.

Wentworth nodded firmly.

"You all saw what happened yesterday. Although I don't know who had ill intentions towards me, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Therefore, I must acquire the ability to protect myself as soon as possible! The fastest and most effective method is black magic!"

Wentworth's words already carried a hint of anxiety.

Seeing Wentworth's expression, Cedric and Green exchanged a glance and said with some hesitation:

“Wentworth, we understand your concerns, but dark magic is a very evil thing; it can slowly change a person's mind!”

But Wentworth disagreed, saying:

"Some people take up arms to kill, while others take up arms to protect. It is the wizards, not the magicians, who should distinguish between good and evil!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's answer, Cedric was momentarily speechless. Just as Cedric was about to say something in his defense, he was stopped by Green.

"Let's not discuss the issue of magic being good or evil for now, but the problem is, we're just ordinary students at Hogwarts, and we don't know any dark magic!"

Green shrugged and said.

Wentworth, however, frowned and asked:

"Do you know where you can learn dark magic at Hogwarts?"

Seeing that Wentworth seemed determined to learn dark magic, Cedric could only say earnestly:

"Wentworth, give up on that idea! Hogwarts isn't Durmstrang; we don't have a tradition of teaching students the Dark Arts. If you're looking to learn the Dark Arts at Hogwarts, the only place is the restricted section of the library, but you can't get in there without a professor's permission!"

Wentworth was somewhat frustrated by Cedric's answer, but he had to admit that Cedric was right.

But at that moment, Green suddenly spoke up:

"Why don't we try a different approach? The one who attacked Wentworth must be a dark wizard. Since Wentworth is going to deal with a dark wizard, we should find someone more professional! For example, our Defense Against the Dark Arts professor!"

Hearing Green's words, Wentworth's eyes lit up, and the three of them excitedly went to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, only to find that Ilona was not there.

So the three of them stood at the classroom door, intending to wait for Ilona to return, when Dumbledore's voice rang out from the end of the corridor.

"What are you doing here, guys?"

Dumbledore's gaze swept over the three in turn, but finally settled on Wentworth.

Upon hearing Dumbledore's question, Wentworth hesitated for a moment, but after a brief silence, he told Dumbledore about his plans in detail.

Upon hearing Wentworth's plan, Dumbledore frowned. The very thing he had been worried about had come to pass.

Although Dumbledore didn't believe that Wentworth, who had been trained by the Burmese, was unaware of Black Magic.

Just like last night, I intentionally let Wentworth face a dark wizard alone, just to see Wentworth's strength, but Wentworth kept holding back. Except for the last move, Wentworth was always fighting with the spells taught at Hogwarts.

In Dumbledore's view, Wentworth's revelation of his plans at this time was an attempt to use the opportunity to openly use dark magic in the future, which was something Dumbledore would absolutely not allow!

Dumbledore knew all too well the allure of powerful dark magic to young wizards. He could even imagine how many young wizards would be captivated if Wentworth were to use dark magic at Hogwarts. Dumbledore absolutely could not allow a new witchcraft party to emerge at his Hogwarts!

Thinking of this, Dumbledore couldn't help but say:

“Wentworth, I understand your concerns, but you must know that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Dark magic is such an abyss!”

"We have many other ways to deal with those dark wizards!"

Hearing Dumbledore's answer, Wentworth knew that his plan to learn dark magic was likely to fail, but this was to be expected. So Wentworth spoke:

"I understand, Principal. That's why we came to see Professor Ilona. Could you please speak to Professor Ilona and arrange for me to receive some special training every night from now on?"

In fact, this was Wentworth's real purpose! If he went to Professor Ilona himself, Wentworth wasn't entirely confident that Ilona would give him special tutoring, but if Dumbledore asked, Ilona probably wouldn't refuse.

But Dumbledore didn't immediately agree when he heard Wentworth's words. Instead, he stared intently into Wentworth's eyes, as if trying to see something, which surprised Wentworth.

In fact, Dumbledore was also struggling with his own thoughts. He had been keeping an eye on Wentworth and Ilona, ​​which was why he was able to rush over as soon as Wentworth appeared in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Dumbledore is now almost certain that Ilona is from the Sorcerer Party, and in Dumbledore's view, Wentworth's request was still for the purpose of openly learning dark magic at Hogwarts.

After all, the most proficient thing for the shamans is black magic!

So, after a moment of silence, Dumbledore slowly said:

“Wentworth, Professor Ilona is already quite busy teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts to the entire school, so it's unlikely she'll be able to provide you with extra training every night! Besides, if other students find out about this, it might cause them to complain.”

"How about this, I'll introduce you to a wizard outside of school, and you can study Defense Against the Dark Arts with him every weekend. What do you think?"

Wentworth was initially surprised when Dumbledore refused to let Ilona train him, but unexpectedly, Dumbledore actually planned to find him a private tutor. Wentworth was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly when Dumbledore asked him.

But Dumbledore hesitated for a moment, then spoke:

"However, this teacher's situation is a bit special, and I wanted to tell you in advance so you can decide whether or not to study with him."

Seeing Dumbledore's expression, Wentworth was somewhat surprised and tentatively asked:

"Headmaster Dumbledore, what special situation are you referring to?"

Dumbledore hesitated for a moment before slowly explaining:

"Actually, the teacher I'm talking about is a werewolf!"

Chapter 82 The Assembly of the UMNO Party

"Wolf...weren?"

"How can that be allowed?!"

Cedric and Green said almost in unison.

The two men's reactions were not unexpected for Dumbledore, but to his surprise, Wentworth's eyes lit up, and he seemed not to care at all about the werewolf's identity.

Of course, Wentworth had already guessed who Dumbledore's teacher was.

Wentworth nodded almost without hesitation, saying with a hint of delight:

"Yes, Headmaster Dumbledore, I agree!"

Seeing that Wentworth readily agreed, Cedric quickly tugged at Wentworth's clothes and whispered:

"Wentworth, have you thought this through? That's a werewolf! You... don't you know how dangerous werewolves are?!"

Green also chimed in from the side:

"Headmaster Dumbledore, are you serious? To have a werewolf teach Wentworth Defense Against the Dark Arts? What can he teach? Defense against werewolves?"

It's no wonder that Cedric and Grimm reacted so strongly. If there were a hierarchy of contempt in the magical world at that time, werewolves would definitely be at the very bottom.

But before Dumbledore could explain, Wentworth spoke first:

"Don't worry, even if you don't believe in that werewolf, you should believe in Headmaster Dumbledore! Headmaster, I believe you won't harm me, and I'm willing to accept that werewolf's teachings!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's answer, Dumbledore smiled and said with a kind expression:

“Wentworth, you’re right. Of course I wouldn’t harm you. After all, you are… after all, my student!”

"In fact, that werewolf was once my student, and he was also an excellent wizard who graduated from Hogwarts!"

Upon hearing Dumbledore's explanation, Cedric and Green both showed expressions of surprise, but it was clear that their doubts remained unresolved.

After hesitating for a moment, Cedric spoke:

“Headmaster Dumbledore, if possible, I would like to join Wentworth and receive instruction from that werewolf… teacher every weekend!”

As Cedric spoke, he still looked conflicted. Wentworth knew that Cedric was worried about his safety, which was why he deliberately wanted to accompany him.

Faced with Cedric's request, Dumbledore smiled calmly and nodded, saying:

"Of course you can. In fact, most of the time you'll even forget he's a werewolf, as long as you avoid the night of the full moon!"

Meanwhile, Green, somewhat embarrassed, said:

"I'm sorry, Wentworth, Cedric, I have to prepare for my OWLs exam, so I might not have time..."
