The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Understood." The subordinate took the document and walked out of the office.

However, when he reached the corner of the corridor where there was no one, his expression changed drastically.

After a while, he became a different person.

If President Picqueri were still here, he would definitely recognize him.

This person is none other than Abernathy, the former Auror who defected to Grindelwald a long time ago...

One of Grindelwald's most trusted lieutenants.

Unlike Vita, he is better at conducting undercover missions personally.

He looked at the documents in his hand and a smug smile appeared on his face.

After he left with the documents, several more figures appeared in the corridor.

They followed Abernathy's footsteps silently...

……

Dumbledore's residence.

Li Weide and Tom were playing wizard chess out of boredom.

Tom watched with a grim expression as his king was chopped off his throne by Levid's knights...

This was the tenth time he had lost.

"I say...can you please stop downloading? I want to study." Tom said with a wry smile.

"Why? Playing chess is so enjoyable, why do we need to study? Studying is so boring..." Li Weide began to rearrange the chessboard.

Tom's face turned green.

Li Weide beats people every time, of course it feels good!

If Li Weide were the one being abused, Tom would bet that the lowest level of black magic this chessboard would encounter would be Fiendfyre...

"Ahem, do you think Dumbledore can stop Grindelwald?" Tom quickly changed the subject.

"He can't stop it. The most he can do is to remove Chairman Picquery from this matter." Li Weide smiled.

"But what's he going to do?" Tom asked curiously. "No matter what, if the plan fails, Chairman Picquery will definitely be in danger."

"It's simple. He just needs to do nothing." Li Weide said helplessly, "As long as he does nothing, then turns his back to his allies, and then gets stabbed by them."

"You mean, Chairman Picquery wants to stab him in the back? How is that possible?" Tom was shocked.

"Didn't I say it before? There are no permanent friends, only permanent interests..." Levid pointed outside. "With those half-baked people out there, they can't even keep an eye on you, so how can they possibly keep an eye on Dumbledore? Chairman Picquery is such a shrewd person, how could she not understand this? Yet she still did it... This shows she's just putting on an act..."

Tom returned his gaze to the chessboard. "These guys' schemes are so complicated... I still don't like the twists and turns..."

Li Wei De laughed and said, "There's no other way. Even if you have the strength of Grindelwald, you can't kill him directly. Then you have to resort to some trickery..."

"I'd rather be using my brain on the chessboard..." Tom said grimly. "So Dumbledore has really decided to keep quiet and let Chairman Picquery stab him?"

"That's just the way he is, isn't it, Tom? A mere sacrifice of reputation to save an enemy of Grindelwald..."

"I just think he's stupid. How could someone jump into a pit when he knows it's there?" Tom said disdainfully.

"Well... this kind of trap is called sacrifice..."

"I'll never understand..." Tom looked at Lewes and suddenly said, "You're really a good student of Dumbledore's. Don't you have any desire to help him?"

"Respecting his wishes and staying in the room honestly is what Dumbledore wants most... Besides... are we really the only ones who can't bear to let him fall into the trap?" A meaningful smile appeared on Levid's face.

"Who else?" asked Tom.

"Would you have the heart to let me fall into a trap? Sometimes, the enemy might also help you. As the saying goes, there are only eternal interests..." Li Weide suddenly asked.

Tom laughed. "If you fall into a trap, I will absolutely bear it, but... it's a pity that it's too difficult to make you, a bastard, fall into it. Otherwise, I would definitely give you a push!"

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Levid was right. Except for going out on the first day, Dumbledore stayed in the house from the second day onwards.

As expected, he did nothing else and calmly faced the big pot that was about to be thrown at him.

At noon that day, after lunch, Dumbledore took Lewd and Tom and left the room where they had stayed for three days.

Because at noon that day, Grindelwald's public trial would begin in the High Court in front of wizards all over the world.

The Grand Court, like the Wizengamot of the British Ministry of Magic, is located underground.

When Li Weide and his companions arrived, they were surprised to find that the underground space where the court was located was terrifyingly large...

Except for the normal courtroom configuration in the middle, the rest of the seats are tiered.

"For this public trial, they deliberately used the Traceless Extension Charm to expand the space..." Dumbledore muttered as he looked at the huge circular space in front of him.

"This can seat thousands of people, right?" Li Weide put his hands on the pergola and looked at the highest point, the "mountain top".

A public trial, the location is like a concert...

"Our position is in the front." Dumbledore smiled.

"That's great! No need to sit on the top of a mountain!"

Chapter 161: In order to prevent my thoughts from being misinterpreted again, I decided to publish a book

As Dumbledore, his position is naturally the most forward.

Because Dumbledore was bringing two little ones with him, the people from the Magical Congress of the United States specially arranged seats for them.

When passing through the crowd and finding your place.

Levid keenly heard that some people had begun to discuss the fact that Dumbledore was being monitored by the Magical Congress of the United States of America.

It can be seen that Picquery has made all the preparations. Once the plan fails, everything about Dumbledore will definitely be leaked directly.

Of course, Picquery still hopes that the plan will succeed.

Because in this way, Grindelwald cannot escape the blame, and she does not need to offend Dumbledore...

Just as Li Weide and the other two sat down, many more people came into the courtroom.

Soon, the entire courtroom was filled with people.

However, even though the place was full, people still kept coming in at the door and watching from a distance...

"bump!"

Suddenly, a loud noise came from a doorway at the bottom.

The door was flung open.

A series of Grand Court officials walked in from behind that door.

Chairman Picqueri walked in front.

She will serve as the presiding judge in this trial.

Today, it can be said that from the judge to the jury, they are all her people!

Coupled with the secret means he used, she didn't believe that Grindelwald could clear himself of the charges under such circumstances!

Chairwoman Picquery sat in the middle seat. She looked around and her eyes fell on Dumbledore in the front row.

Dumbledore also looked at her, his blue eyes were as calm as water.

He smiled and nodded at Chairman Picquery.

Chairman Picqueri couldn't help but turn his head away feeling a little guilty.

She took a deep breath and nodded to the Auror beside her.

Then, the door was opened again.

Then Grindelwald walked in...

After seeing Grindelwald, almost everyone stood up from their seats and craned their necks to look at him.

Countless flashes lit up at this moment, and the reporters who had been squatting at the door began taking pictures.

Grindelwald was surrounded by a group of Aurors and walked towards the judgment seat under the flash lights and everyone's gaze.

At this time, Grindelwald no longer looked as miserable as he did in the dungeon.

Now he is wearing the same well-fitting suit he wore when he surrendered himself, and the scars on his face have disappeared.

Even her hair was combed meticulously.

If his hands weren't in a pair of handcuffs... he would look like he was attending a party.

Obviously, the measures that Congress imposed on him were not convenient to be made public.

So, when he appeared in court, he was given a special beating.

He walked calmly towards the judgement seat with a smile on his face, ignoring the wands pointed at him by the Aurors around him.

When Grindelwald walked up to the judge's seat, he finally saw Dumbledore in the front row.

Of course, I also saw Levitra and Tom beside Dumbledore.

He was somewhat surprised by the presence of Li Weide and Tom.

He stopped at the steps and looked at Li Weide with a meaningful smile.

Li Weide also winked at him.

Dumbledore frowned and cautiously pulled Levitra, who was standing beside him, behind him.

The wizards sat down again only after Grindelwald took the stand.

"Gellert Grindelwald, you are accused of more than seventy crimes including murder, kidnapping, intimidation, organizing an illegal group, etc..." Chairman Picquery said.

Grindelwald smiled and said, "Not bad, less than I thought."

"It's not your turn to speak yet!" Chairman Picquery said angrily.

Grindelwald smiled and shrugged.

Chairman Picqueri became increasingly uneasy.

Because Grindelwald was too calm!

He has been in this state since he was imprisoned.

Even when faced with severe punishment, he never changed his expression...

At this moment, a buzz of discussion could be heard everywhere in the courtroom.

Obviously, Grindelwald's calmness also surprised others.

"quiet!"

Chairman Picquery took a deep breath. "Now, starting with the first murder..."

Immediately afterwards, evidence was brought up one by one.

It was also the first time that Li Weide saw the so-called court evidence in the wizarding world.

He discovered that the so-called evidence in the wizarding courts were all memories that could be released...

It is to project the memory of a certain witness to everyone.

Of course, these memories have been rigorously tested to ensure they will not be modified.

However, Li Weide was very sure that these memories had not been modified much.

Because none of these memories contain any evidence that can directly accuse Grindelwald himself.

The people who committed the crimes in these memories are all witches under Grindelwald!

Since it cannot be used as direct evidence to accuse Grindelwald, there is naturally no need to modify it.

If that’s the case… then Picquery’s direct evidence to prove Grindelwald’s death should be based on the witness!

Indeed, the traces of modification of memory evidence are too obvious.

A wizard with some experience can even see clues during the projection process.

And human witnesses are the easiest to manipulate...
