The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Tonight, it was Professor McGonagall, not Dumbledore, who went to welcome the new students.

"Is Principal Dippet planning to hand over the position of principal to Dumbledore?" Tom also noticed this abrupt scene and asked Levitra next to him quietly.

"Not necessarily." Levid said, "These two people, one in the open and the other in the dark, can better deal with Grindelwald's little tricks."

Tom nodded. What Li Weide said made sense.

Headmaster Dippet is the official headmaster of Hogwarts.

Tom had heard a legend about the headmaster of Hogwarts.

The official principal of this castle will have many unknown privileges in this castle.

In other words, if Principal Dippet wanted to hide in the castle, even Grindelwald would find it difficult to detect him.

In this way, Principal Dippet is in the dark and Dumbledore is in the light, which is indeed a very good arrangement.

At this time, Li Weide's eyes fell on a short freshman in the freshman team.

Even among the eleven-year-old freshmen, his height was considered extremely short... He could only reach their waists...

And his appearance reminded Levid of the goblins in Gringotts.

Livid raised his eyebrows. Could this be the future Professor Flitwick?

However, there should be no other Hogwarts student who is half-fairy except him.

"That man..." Tom frowned.

"That's definitely a talent, Tom." Li Weide said with a smile.

"How did you know?"

"What would happen if you dueled with a wizard who was less than half your height?" asked Levid.

Tom lowered his head and thought for a moment, "I'll feel awkward...hiss...so that's why!"

"Not entirely. He is most likely a hybrid of a wizard and another race... Most people of this type are gifted. They are generally not too ordinary." Li Weide said.

"I see. I know what to do," Tom said in agreement.

Li Weide has already said that he is a talented person, what else needs to be said?

Pull them in! Pull them in hard!

"Remember to be polite..."

"Don't worry, mutual aid societies never discriminate. I know that."

At this time, little Flitwick was also looking at everything around him curiously, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation.

As for the strange looks from others... he had long been accustomed to them and didn't care.

He came to Hogwarts only to seek knowledge!

Levett noticed that Flitwick Jr. and Dumbledore nodded and greeted each other.

In other words, these two people should know each other...

Also, in the wizarding world, wizards are extremely wary of goblins and even have laws prohibiting goblins from using wands.

Under such circumstances, Dumbledore must have made great efforts to allow a wizard with fairy blood to study at Hogwarts.

Dumbledore is just like that... He is always more tolerant than others.

As long as the name is on the admission book, he will allow the student to enroll no matter how much pressure he faces.

This is true for Flitwick now, and also for the future werewolf Lupin.

However, this also indirectly reflects one point...that is, Principal Dippet did indeed hand over most of the affairs to Dumbledore.

At least, he did not object to Dumbledore's decisions.

Otherwise, Flitwick would still not be able to enroll.

As the Sorting Hat finished singing with its mouth wide open...

The sorting ceremony began under the auspices of Professor McGonagall.

Li Weide felt very fortunate. If nothing unexpected happened, this should be Professor McGonagall's first time presiding over the Sorting Ceremony...

It seems that starting from this year, presiding over the sorting ceremony has become her job.

"Now, freshmen whose names are called, please come to this stool and put on the Sorting Hat..." Professor McGonagall unfolded a roll of parchment and explained the rules of sorting.

However, before she could finish her words, the gate of Hogwarts Castle was pushed open.

Everyone's eyes turned to the door...

Grindelwald, dressed in a suit and tie, walked in through the gate alone.

The moment they saw him, the buzzing noise in the auditorium suddenly stopped.

For a moment, the entire auditorium was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop...

All the professors in the teaching seats stood up vigilantly.

Professor Slughorn even drew his wand.

Professor McGonagall didn't even notice that the parchment in her hand had fallen to the ground.

"Sorry, I'm late." Grindelwald walked briskly towards the teachers' table, as if oblivious to their reactions. "The department is quite busy today..."

The freshmen who were originally queuing in the middle couldn't help but take a step to the side when they saw him approaching.

"No one said you had to come today..." Dumbledore said coldly. "In fact, we didn't expect you to show up tonight!"

According to the date on the notice, Grindelwald should have come to Hogwarts the next day. No one expected him to show up now.

Now it seems that some of the arrangements that Principal Dippet had originally wanted to complete tonight may have lost their intended purpose...

At this time, Grindelwald had already arrived in front of the teacher's seat.

"Where's my place? You didn't reserve that spot in the middle for me, did you?"

"Since we were not notified in advance, we did not prepare a seat for you. The seat in the middle belongs to Principal Dippet." Dumbledore frowned.

"Ah... that's my problem. In that case... then I'll sit with the students." Grindelwald said, turning to look at the Slytherin table.

This really excited the students from pure-blood families!

"Sir! Please sit here with us!" Walburga said excitedly.

Many pure-blood students stood up and gave up the seats next to them.

However, Grindelwald didn't even look at them, but came directly in front of Levid and Tom.

"Can I sit with you?" Grindelwald asked politely.

Those pure-blood students were stunned...

It was because of Grindelwald's power that they became arrogant again.

When they saw Grindelwald coming, they thought that Grindelwald would definitely come to their side.

result……

Walburga glared at Levid and his group angrily.

Why? We've clearly joined Grindelwald, so why doesn't he even look at us?

……

At this moment, the students on Levid's side looked at Grindelwald and were a little dazed for a moment.

Who would have thought that such a polite and elegant gentleman would be a brutal dark wizard?

And... no one expected that they would choose to sit here!

Tom looked at Grindelwald so close, his nerves tense...

Among all the people present, he was the most nervous and frightened.

Last year... Grindelwald almost killed him with his wand against his throat!

At that time... Avada had only read half of the big melon!

If he hadn't crushed the drugged dung bomb in his pocket in time, Tom... the grass on his grave would be three feet high now!

Li Weide patted Tom's shoulder and motioned him to relax.

"Of course...if you don't mind." Li Weide said calmly.

Alphard next to him quickly stood up and made room.

"Thank you." Grindelwald thanked Alphard and sat down.

All this happened so fast that even Dumbledore didn't have time to stop it...

This guy actually went to sit with Li Weide! How can this be allowed!

"You don't need to sit in the student's seat. We can create an extra seat for you..." Dumbledore said quickly.

But...his reaction was still slow after all.

"Thank you very much, but... I like being with students." Grindelwald smiled. "Albus, shouldn't you introduce me to everyone?"

Dumbledore looked at him deeply, and after a long pause he spoke slowly, "This... is Gellert Grindelwald, the Special Investigator assigned to Hogwarts by the Ministry of Magic. He is also the Director of the Department of Education... He has come to Hogwarts to inspect the educational reforms..."

Grindelwald stood up, smiled, and bowed to everyone, as if there was thunderous applause.

But in reality, the auditorium was completely silent...

Even those pure-blood students whose parents had taken refuge with him were silent.

Grindelwald sat down again. "Don't mind me. Please continue with the Sorting Ceremony."

Everyone looked at each other, and Professor McGonagall had no choice but to look at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded at her, and then Professor McGonagall picked up the parchment from the ground.

"Students whose names are read, please come forward..."

"Susanna Abbott..." Professor McGonagall read the first name.

……

The Sorting Ceremony was going on over there, but Grindelwald suddenly whispered to Levid, "The method you asked Annie to convey to me is indeed very good... although the cost is a bit high..."

Levid didn't know what to say. The key point was that Dumbledore was staring at them at the moment... It seemed that nothing he said was appropriate, so he had to pretend not to hear.

But Grindelwald didn't care whether Levid responded or not, and continued to speak to himself: "But it's all worth it... I don't know if you understand that feeling... I just like seeing him frustrated and wanting to kill me but unable to do so... In the past, I was always the one who was frustrated, but now, with your method, the offensive and defensive situation has changed... Hmm? Why don't you say anything? Perhaps you can give me some more suggestions..."

Facing the gazes of the two great wizards, Li Weide said in surprise, "Ah? So you were talking to me just now?"

Chapter 201 Grindelwald: Brave and upright Tom! Levid? The little dark devil!

Grindelwald looked at Levid who was pretending to be confused, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face again.

"No, no, I was just talking to myself."

"Oh, so that's how it is. I told you, you're definitely not talking to me." Li Weide said happily.

The two people's eyes strayed from each other and never met again.

However, although the two did not communicate on the surface, in fact, they already understood what the other was thinking.

What Grindelwald said was just some preliminary tests for Levid...

As for what to test?

Of course, it was a test to see if Levitra wanted to let Dumbledore know about the advice he had given him.

If Li Weide didn't intend to hide it, he would naturally not pretend to be confused, but would communicate with me openly.

But now, Levid was pretending to be confused, which proved that he did not want Dumbledore to know about his suggestions.

In other words... Levid hopes that the communication between Grindelwald and himself will be kept in the dark, rather than in the open.

Even if he wants to join me in the future, it must be in secret.

In fact, Grindelwald was very happy to see Levid's reaction.

At least, there is a possibility that Li Weide will join our camp.

Moreover, this also means that the interactions between Levitra and himself will no longer be constrained by Dumbledore!
