The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"However, there's no need to worry too much. Dealing with this kind of creature is relatively simple..."

"Even in the Muggle world, there are methods of dealing with this creature. However, to them, these are just legends. But it must be said that their methods are indeed effective."

"For example, if you throw a cucumber with your name carved on it, it will most likely not harm the person who carved the name."

In the classroom, the students all laughed softly.

"Of course, we are wizards, so we naturally have our own methods... and this class is Defense Against the Dark Arts, so next, I will teach you in detail how to deal with this creature..."

"In fact, these creatures move very quickly. Even for wizards, it would be difficult to deal with them if they are caught off guard. Therefore, the safest way is to lure them into bowing."

"Pfft..." Grindelwald chuckled again.

Dumbledore paused for a second before continuing, "Because when they bow, the water on their heads will flow down, and once the water on the Kaba's heads dries up, they will lose all their power..."

"Pfft..."

"I've tolerated you for a long time! Grindelwald! What are you laughing at? Are my lectures so funny?" Dumbledore couldn't bear it any longer.

"Oh, I'm sorry, no offense, I just... Puh... Sorry, I couldn't help it again. Ahem... I just... When I imagined you bowing to a Kabbah, I couldn't help laughing." Grindelwald said while holding back his laughter.

No one thought it was funny at first, but after hearing what Grindelwald said and thinking about it a little, they couldn't help but laugh.

However, seeing Dumbledore's dissatisfied expression, everyone had to hold it in.

Even Li Weide was quietly looking at the Kaba illustration in front of him, feeling like he couldn't go back.

"It is not necessary for me to bow first in order to induce a kaba to bow," Dumbledore said word by word.

"In fact, I don't think dealing with a kaba requires this much effort, Professor Dumbledore." Grindelwald stood up. "Although this method is in the textbook, I'm still disappointed with your teaching. Just reading from the textbook is not your style, Professor Dumbledore."

"My class has just begun, and my teaching style is simply to explain the methods in the textbook first... If you keep interrupting my lecture like this, your so-called research will lose its due fairness, right? If you want to evaluate me, shouldn't you listen to the entire class first?"

Chapter 205 Tom: I am just a little wizard, I don’t have the power of Li Weide

As Dumbledore finished speaking, the entire classroom became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Except for Li Weide, everyone looked at the two of them looking at each other nervously.

Everyone was worried that they might suddenly start fighting and get hurt...

There's no way, staring at each other at this distance will either lead to a fight or...

Then there will probably still be a fight!

Tom moved quietly, ready to run away at any time.

After being oppressed by Levid for a long time, Tom has developed a keen sense of danger at any time.

Li Weide patted his shoulder and shook his head.

Then Tom heard Livid whispering, "Don't worry, they won't fight. If they really wanted to, they would have done it eight hundred years ago."

"Really? But the atmosphere is wrong! I feel murderous!" Tom responded with wide eyes.

"That's normal. Murderous intent doesn't mean a fight will break out. Dumbledore was just warning him. In fact, I've felt a lot of murderous intent before... After all, you used to have murderous intentions towards me seven or eight times a day. And yet, we didn't get into a fight, did we?"

"Humph! I don't have the ability to beat you! Otherwise..."

"So, Grindelwald knows he can't beat Dumbledore now, so how could he actually attack him? Tom...when encountering a situation, your first reaction should be to try to stay calm and analyze it rationally, rather than just running away."

"I think it's not too late to analyze rationally after running away. If your life is really gone, what's the point of rational analysis?" Tom disagreed with Li Weide's words this time.

"Tsk tsk, Tom, you don't have the heart of a strong man!"

"Only by surviving can you have the chance to become strong! Do you think everyone is like you... are they born with such a high starting point?" Tom said with a little sadness.

"Ah..." Li Weide touched his chin. "You're right, Tom. I was a bit arrogant when I said that. You have to eat one bite at a time. In that case, just do as you wish for now. Anyway... your idea won't last long."

"Huh? Why? I thought I would always do things according to this idea in the future..." Tom asked in confusion.

"When you grow up, you won't think like this, because by then you will be very strong... When you become strong, you won't always think about running away." Li Weide said firmly.

In this world, judging solely by qualifications, the young Voldemort might even be more talented than Dumbledore of the same age.

Such a person, even if he does not delve into black magic or study dangerous black magic transformations, will definitely not be weak.

What's more, Tom in this time and space, like Dumbledore, has experienced the magic of love...

"I actually have never understood why you always feel that I will become very strong in the future?" Tom couldn't help asking.

"Tom... To be honest, among your peers, who else can't you beat except me? You've even beaten those in the senior grades." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Ah... Thinking about it this way, I am indeed quite strong..."

"If this doesn't show your talent, then I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill myself."

"No wonder……"

"So, don't underestimate yourself... When I told you not to be afraid of Grindelwald, those words weren't just meaningless words of comfort. No matter how powerful old fellows like Grindelwald are, they are just remnants of the past. And we... the future world will belong to us, Tom!"

Tom's eyes lit up as he listened to Li Weide's words. "That's right... I can do it too! I'm weak now only because I'm still young!"

Tom, whose blood was boiling with excitement at Li Weide's chicken soup words, couldn't help but move, and then his chair rubbed against the ground, making a harsh sound.

Then, Dumbledore and Grindelwald on the podium looked at Tom at the same time.

Tom's boiling blood instantly cooled down when he was looked at by these two people...

"Sorry... I... I just want to go to the bathroom..." Tom said fearfully.

It's fine if you're a little timid... Li Weide has already said it, so let's do things according to my ideas...

After all, no matter how talented I am, I am just a twelve-year-old second-grade wizard... I don't have the power of Levid!

Moreover, the remnants of the old era, such as Grindelwald, are still powerful.

While Tom continued to comfort himself, the two people on the podium seemed to finally realize that they should not cause a major conflict in such an occasion.

So, at the noise Tom made, both of them took a step back.

"Okay, I admit you are right, then I will patiently listen to your lesson." Grindelwald said, then turned around and sat back in his chair.

"Then I hope you can really provide practical and effective advice later..." Dumbledore said, no longer looking at Grindelwald, but looking at the students below the podium.

"Sorry, let's continue with today's lesson... Tom? If you want to go to the bathroom, go now. I'll save the most exciting part of this lesson for now and we'll go through it together when you come back... So, please hurry up."

Tom sneered and said, "Uh... sorry, I... I don't want to go now..."

Dumbledore couldn't help but look at the ground when he heard this, then nodded with confidence, "Okay, let's continue..."

Tom turned to look at Livid in astonishment and asked with a whispering spell, "What did he mean by looking at the ground just now?"

Li Weide shrugged. "Isn't it obvious? I'm looking to see if you've peed yet!"

Tom exploded when he heard this, "I...I'm not some baby who can't take care of himself!"

"So... Dumbledore is very glad for you, isn't he? Otherwise, given your personality, if something embarrassing really happened, Dumbledore would have to comfort you."

"Stop talking about it... The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I feel... Why did I just say I needed to go to the bathroom?"

"We're still young, and there's nothing shameful about being scared in front of these two. We can get back at them later."

"But...I..."

"I say...you don't want me to coax you, do you? Well, although it's a bit embarrassing, it's not impossible...after all, you are my friend."

"What the hell..."

……

Dumbledore's lessons are indeed of high quality.

After explaining the contents of the textbook, Dumbledore closed the textbook and told everyone many other ways to deal with the situation.

Moreover, he provides a real story for each response.

In this way, the whole class is no longer rigid and boring, but becomes very lively.

After a class, even those students who don’t like studying very much were not distracted at all.

"Okay, that's it for this class. I hope everyone will go back and write a paper on how to deal with creatures like Kaba. Submit it before next week's class. There's no limit on the size of the parchment... Of course, I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with. If your ideas are interesting enough, I'll give your house extra points as appropriate... get out of class dismissed!"

The students immediately packed up their things and quickly left the classroom.

Even though Dumbledore's classes were very attractive, having Grindelwald around always made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"I have to say that my evaluation of your course just now was indeed unfair. I would like to apologize to you here." Grindelwald said, bowing slightly.

"That's not necessary. I just hope that when you attend any professor's class, you will not disrupt the course. It is not too late to raise any opinions after class..." Dumbledore said calmly.

"Well... of course," Grindelwald responded.

"Well... you have finished my course. If you have any suggestions, you can say them now," said Dumbledore.

"There is no doubt that your course has few shortcomings...but..." Grindelwald pondered.

"But what?"

"How much education funding does Hogwarts receive each year?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"I just feel that a course like Defense Against the Dark Arts, if it relies solely on lectures, will always be missing something, no matter how vivid the lectures are," Grindelwald said with a smile.

"You mean... lack of practice?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes, it's true that there is a lack of practice." Grindelwald said as he put away his notebook.

"Our courses also have practical parts, but..."

"It's just not in every class, right? I guess, in terms of dealing with dark creatures, you only get some practice when you learn to deal with creatures of the Boggart level, right?"

"Indeed, Boggarts are relatively easy to obtain. After all, I can't possibly teach all the dark creatures described in the textbooks..."

"Why not?" Grindelwald smiled. "Only when students actually encounter these creatures can they learn anything. You and I both understand this. If they rely solely on illustrations and text, their understanding won't be very profound."

"How can this be? This is too dangerous!" Dumbledore frowned.

"With you as a professor here, what dark creature can harm students under your nose?" Grindelwald said with a smile.

"We can't get so many dark creatures..."

"Collecting those creatures for use as teaching aids isn't difficult. The hard part is the subsequent maintenance, which costs money. That's why I'm asking you, what's your educational budget?"

"We don't have the manpower..." Dumbledore was still thinking of reasons to refuse.

"The Ministry of Magic has expanded its staff. I think there will be no problem in hiring more professionals to manage these creatures." Grindelwald still had a smile on his face, but his tone was very firm.

"Is this your plan for reform, Grindelwald?" Dumbledore said unhappily.

"Yes, I think students should learn some real skills..." Grindelwald said calmly.

Chapter 206 I brainwashed you in front of you, and you still have to thank me!

"Armando, I think he might be really crazy..."

In the headmaster's office, Dumbledore said with a frown.

He had already told Principal Dippet everything that had happened today.

"Um... where does he plan to keep those creatures?" asked Principal Dippet.

"He said that there are still many places in the Forbidden Forest... No, Armando, are you really considering agreeing?" Dumbledore couldn't help asking.

I thought Principal Dippet would work with him to find a way to stop Grindelwald, but unexpectedly, Principal Dippet didn't even think about it!

"His suggestion is not bad." Principal Dippet said leisurely.

Dumbledore said nothing, but just stared at Headmaster Dippet.

"What's wrong? You think I'm getting senile and want to take my position sooner? That's great! I've wanted to retire for a long time!" Principal Dippet said happily.

"Come on, you're still a few years away from being two hundred years old. It's a good age to strive for progress..." Dumbledore waved his hand and said unhappily.

Headmaster Dippet looked at Dumbledore in shock. "Ah... you are truly cold-blooded and heartless... Okay, enough joking. Objectively speaking, Grindelwald's move is not without merit."

"That would be too dangerous..." said Dumbledore.

"Albus... we still have to be objective. Even though he has a long history of bad deeds, we can't completely deny all his decisions just because of what he has done in the past." Principal Dippet frowned and said, "Besides... even if I speculate with the utmost malice, I don't see how he can make any tricks out of this matter. To be precise, the other party has already made a move, but it's not yet complete. We might as well wait and see... At the very least, we don't need to use our last resort yet. Isn't that good news?"

"Hmm... It seems that this is the only way..."

"Or... you just give in, go to the Ministry of Magic and take Welfare's position, and then..."
