Hogwarts: I Became the Third Dark Lord.

Wentworth was initially considering whether to reveal that Voldemort would return next year. He was very worried that this would change the course of events and create even greater danger.

But then I realized that there was no record of this war between the Marauders and the British magic in the original book. It seems that the timeline has already shifted!

Thinking of this, Wentworth glanced outside and, finding no one around, cautiously said to Ilona:

"Professor Ilona, ​​you may not believe what I'm about to say, but it has a very high chance of becoming a reality! Voldemort may make a comeback next year!"

Upon hearing Wentworth's words, Ilona gave a thoughtful look and did not respond for a moment.

"Professor Ilona, ​​you don't believe me?"

Seeing this, Wentworth asked.

To everyone's surprise, Ilona nodded emphatically and said meaningfully:

“I believe you! Why wouldn’t I believe you? You’re called a prophet of the future by our Professor Trelawney! I think I understand what you mean!”

Wentworth was stunned!

Do you understand what I mean? What do I mean?

Meanwhile, Ilona thought to herself, "This is our little master! He actually predicted that Voldemort would make a comeback next year!"

If Voldemort were to make a comeback, who would he face first? Without a doubt, it would be either Dumbledore or the British Ministry of Magic! It certainly wouldn't be the lurking, shady sorcerers!

At that time, no matter who wins in the end, they will inevitably be severely weakened. That will be the best opportunity for the UMNO to rise again!

What a brilliant tactic of letting the snipe and the clam fight while the fisherman benefits! What a brilliant strategy of using one wolf to devour another!

Damn you, Abernathy, you've ruined the young master's grand plan!

Thinking of this, Ilona felt extremely anxious and couldn't wait to rush to stop Abernathy's actions!

Just as Ilona was pondering what reason she could give to leave Hogwarts and head to London, Cedric returned with a troubled expression.

Seeing his friend return in this state, Wentworth immediately went up to him and asked:

“Cedric, what happened? Dumbledore rejected your offer? What did he say?”

Cedric slowly shook his head, and said with a hint of despair, "..."

“I didn’t see the headmaster at all! Professor McGonagall told me that Headmaster Dumbledore had left Hogwarts for some business.”

Seeing Cedric, who was usually so cheerful and sunny, in this state, Wentworth couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. He knew that Cedric, who had a very close relationship with his father, would probably have burst into tears if Wentworth and Ilona weren't there for him.

Just as Wentworth was pondering how to comfort Cedric, Ilona suddenly spoke up:

"Cedric, do you really want to go to London, to the Ministry of Magic, to see your father at all costs?"

Upon hearing Ilona's question, Cedric was taken aback at first, then seemed to realize something and guessed what it meant. He nodded frantically and said repeatedly:

"I'm sure! I'm sure it's Professor Ilona! Please, please help me!"

Seeing this, Ilona said very solemnly:

"I can take you to London, but you must swear that you will obey my every command and that you will not tell anyone anything that happened in London today!"

At this moment, Cedric didn't care about any of that. He nodded frantically, his eyes filled with gratitude as he looked at Ilona.

Seeing that Cedric agreed without hesitation, Ilona nodded in satisfaction and said:

"Very good, today, the professor will take you to London!"

Upon hearing Ilona's words, Cedric was so excited he almost jumped up, and then hurriedly headed outside.

But at that moment, Cedric was pulled back by Wentworth.

Before Cedric could speak, Wentworth interjected.

“Cedric, I won’t stop you from going to London; it’s your choice! But I hope you’ll take this with you!”

Then, to Ilona's surprise and Cedric's bewilderment, Wentworth pulled out an ancient and exquisite pendant from his pocket, the very symbol of the Deathly Hallows.

Wentworth placed the pendant in Cedric's hand and said, "..."

“Cedric, if the situation becomes truly dire, infuse this pendant with magic! It will protect you!”

Wentworth's idea was that if Cedric was in critical condition and activated the pendant, his old men would definitely rush over. Although they couldn't stop the war, with their strength, protecting a child shouldn't be a problem.

When Cedric saw that Wentworth had given him the pendant he always carried with him, he was moved to tears and nodded emphatically.

Then, Ilona led Cedric out of Hogwarts Castle.

As they were about to leave Hogwarts and there was no one else around, Ilona suddenly asked:

"Cedric, do you know who I am?"

"what?"

Cedric looked surprised, wondering why Ilona would ask such a question.

Ilona, ​​without changing her expression, said:

"Actually, I am also a member of the UMNO party."

Chapter 118 Joining the Basilisk Party and the Beginning of War

Upon hearing Ilona's words, Cedric was taken aback at first, and then, as he reacted, he instantly felt a chill permeate his entire body, and his body stiffened.

But at this moment, Cedric dared not make any move and could only follow behind Ilona like a puppet.

However, as he was about to leave the Hogwarts grounds, Cedric was caught in a mental struggle!

The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts is a sorcerer!

I must tell the school this news, no matter the cost.

Just as Cedric was about to risk his life and shout the news aloud with a megaphone spell, Ilona said something else:

"Wentworth is our new leader in the UMNO party!"

Upon hearing Ilona's words, Cedric froze in place. At that moment, the two of them had just stepped out of Hogwarts' grounds.

Seeing this, Ilona leaned down and whispered in Cedric's ear:

"Now, I'm giving you two choices. First, join the UMNO party. I will not only take you to London and rescue your father, but also stop this war and save more people! Second, I will kill you now and then say that you died in the chaos of war."

The choice is yours!

After saying that, Ilona stood up and looked at the boy in front of her.

At this moment, Cedric was filled with inner turmoil! If Ilona was only threatening him with her own life, then he would simply risk his life to fight back.

But now, with Ilona threatening him with the lives of his father and countless wizards in London, Cedric's young mind was momentarily bewildered.

However, to Ilona's surprise, Cedric didn't hesitate for long before raising his head, looking at Ilona in return, and slowly saying:

"I choose to join the UMNO!"

However, before Ilona could even smile, Cedric continued:

"However, I will not follow you in committing evil deeds! At worst, it'll be Avada Kedavra and the Cruciatus Curse!"

The boy's voice, though still young, was full of courage.

Ilona, ​​however, looked at Cedric with no skepticism whatsoever. Instead, she nodded with considerable satisfaction and said:

"As expected of someone the young master values, and who entrusted it to you. Here you go!"

Cedric asked, somewhat puzzled:

What are you saying?

Ilona then pointed to Cedric's chest and said:

"The pendant Wentworth gave you! Hope for ending this war lies in it."

Upon hearing Ilona's words, Wentworth hesitated for a moment, but still handed the pendant to Ilona.

Ilona gazed at the pendant before her, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and murmured to herself:

“Cedric, we, the Majustic Party, are not evil wizards. We are completely different from the Death Eaters! Sometimes we may be a bit ruthless in our methods, but it is all for a greater good! You will understand in the future.”

Cedric, of course, didn't believe Ilona's side of the story. Seeing how enamored Ilona was with the pendant Wentworth had given him, Cedric couldn't help but ask with some curiosity:

Is there anything special about this pendant?

Upon hearing Cedric's question, Ilona seemed to realize what was happening, and after putting away the pendant, she replied:

"The earliest members of the Basilisk Party were all followers of Gellert Grindelwald. As their numbers rapidly expanded, they formed the Basilisk Party. Although I hold some position in the Basilisk Party, I cannot command those unruly wizards."

At this point, Ilona paused before continuing:

"But this pendant is acceptable, because it's Grindelwald's symbol!"

After saying that, Ilona took Cedric's hand, and the two quickly disappeared outside Hogwarts.

Meanwhile, with the breakdown of negotiations between Abernathy and Rufus Scrimgeour, the two returned to their respective camps.

"Prepare for battle. As I said before, we will not use the Unforgivable Curse first. However, if the opponent uses the Unforgivable Curse, I allow you to retaliate with an Unforgivable Curse!"

Rufus Scrimgeour had just returned when he gave instructions to the Aurors in front of him.

Upon hearing Rufus Scrimgeour's words, many people subconsciously swallowed several times.

At that moment, someone finally couldn't bear the pressure before the big battle and said with a look of fear on their face:

"Boss, all they want are those few wizards! Just give them to them quietly, that's all! Are we really going to risk the lives of so many Aurors in the Ministry of Magic for a few dark wizards...?"

But before the wizard could finish speaking, Rufus Scrimgeour waved his wand, and the wizard fell straight down.

Rufus Scrimgeour's gaze slowly swept across the entire room as he coldly spoke:

“This person, from this day forward, is no longer an Auror of the British Ministry of Magic! I said it! Before the great battle, anyone who speaks recklessly and disrupts morale will be imprisoned in Azkaban afterwards!”

Upon hearing Rufus Scrimgeour's words, all the Aurors present abandoned their last shred of hope and prepared for battle.

On the other side, as Abernathy walked back to the UMNO camp, he suddenly smiled disdainfully:

"Auror? What a nostalgic position!"

Just then, Carlo came up and said excitedly:

"Abernathy, is it time to make a move? I can't wait!"
