The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Amando..."

"Well, it seems that you are more concerned about my position."

"Amando, you are at the age of struggle..."

"Ha, stop trying to tease the old man! Have you talked to Wade yet?"

Dumbledore looked at Headmaster Dippet in surprise. "Didn't you talk to him?"

"What? I thought you went to talk to him! How can you expect an old man like me to do that? It's more appropriate for you to go than for me! You know, that kid has always respected you!"

"I...well, it's because he respects me that I don't know how to say it..." Dumbledore said bitterly.

……

From that day on, Grindelwald appeared in the classes of other professors in addition to Dumbledore's.

He sometimes appears in lower grade classes and sometimes in higher grade classes.

It will even appear in the career counseling courses for recent graduates, introducing the Ministry of Magic's job search situation to students graduating next June...

After each class, I would take notes very carefully, and then ask the professor some questions or make some suggestions.

Moreover, he would often appear in the corridors, auditoriums, and even the Quidditch field to chat with students and understand their situation.

He really looks like a director of the Education Department who is dedicated to education, rather than an ambitious person with evil intentions.

As time went on, the students' initial vigilance towards Grindelwald gradually decreased, and many of them even developed some good feelings towards this amiable Director of the Education Department.

……

It was soon mid-October and the weather had turned a little cold.

That day, Li Weide came to the club activity room and took a walk around.

After hearing some students' positive comments about Grindelwald, he turned around and walked towards the door of the club activity room.

Tom asked in confusion, "Where are you going?"

"The time has come, Tom..." Li Weide said happily.

"When did it arrive?" Tom frowned. "Is it related to what they just said?"

"Of course... when they say that..." Levid's face showed an ambiguous smile. "Tom, I have to go find Professor Dumbledore. Do you want to come?"

"I...I haven't even started with Occlumency yet..."

"It's not a big deal. You don't know what I'm thinking anyway, and... Dumbledore won't read your mind unscrupulously." Levid waved his hand.

Tom looked at Li Weide in astonishment. Is this... the first time that this guy hasn't disliked him?

"Follow me later. Make the same expression as me... Well, you're pretty good at imitating me, aren't you?"

"Okay..." Tom's curiosity was also aroused by Li Weide.

……

Dumbledore stood before the warm fireplace and sighed deeply.

He knew that he couldn't delay any longer...

Dumbledore naturally noticed the changes in the students over the past few days.

However, Grindelwald did not do anything out of line, and even Headmaster Dippet didn't know how to stop him.

Dumbledore was very sure that after a while, when the students' vigilance and fear of Grindelwald completely disappeared, he might have to start instilling his own ideas into the students!

So… even if Grindelwald hasn't revealed his other intentions yet, there's no way to delay this any longer! He has to have a good talk with Levid today!

Dumbledore turned and walked towards the door. Just as he opened the door, he was surprised to find that Levitra and Tom were standing at the door, with anxious looks on their faces!

"Weider, Tom...what's wrong with you? What happened?"

For a moment, Dumbledore thought that Grindelwald had finally lost his patience and was about to attack the students.

However, he quickly suppressed this ridiculous idea.

Although it shouldn't be done, if Grindelwald really did that, it would actually be easier for him...

"Professor, why don't you react at all?" Li Weide said anxiously.

Tom had no idea what Li Weide wanted to say, but that didn't stop him from nodding eagerly.

"What?" Dumbledore was a little confused.

"I went to a club today. Do you know what I heard?" Li Weide asked.

"Don't be anxious, Wade, Tom, let's go in first, sit down and talk slowly." Dumbledore let Wade into the office and closed the door.

"Please sit down. Don't be anxious, take your time." Dumbledore calmly pulled over a chair, asked Levitra and Tom to sit down, and then made them each a drink.

"I heard everyone is praising Grindelwald!" Levid took a sip of the drink Dumbledore offered him and continued, "This would have been impossible a month ago! That man... has been doing so much lately to deceive everyone's trust. It won't be long before he's indoctrinating everyone with his theories! Why hasn't the school reacted at all?"

Tom lowered his head and drank his drink, not daring to let Dumbledore see his eyes, but when he heard what Levid said, he couldn't help but be surprised.

In Tom's opinion, wasn't Grindelwald's actions condoned by Levid? Why was he now looking for Dumbledore?

For a moment, Tom was a little confused...

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Livid with admiration, "Very sharp insight...Livid."

As he spoke, Dumbledore couldn't help but sigh. He had been planning to talk to Levid about this matter, but he didn't expect that he would come to him directly.

"In other words, you all know what Grindelwald is doing?" Levid asked in surprise.

"We do know that he came to Hogwarts with ulterior motives, so we planned to observe him for a while. However... I'm ashamed to say that after a month of observation, we have only discovered this relatively obvious plot of his."

"Then...what does the school plan to do?" Li Weide asked.

"In fact, I was planning to talk to you about this issue today..." Dumbledore looked embarrassed.

"Is what you want me to do difficult?"

"It's not difficult, but... it might be a little dangerous." Dumbledore's face showed deep apology. "We shouldn't have placed such a burden on you... a child. This is a problem we should have solved. But..."

"I understand, you want to use my mutual aid society!" Levid pointed out Dumbledore's idea sharply.

"You are very smart, Wade..." Dumbledore was becoming more and more conflicted. Wade was arguably the smartest student he had ever met.

However, what he has to do now is to push such a smart student into a vortex of danger!

If anything goes wrong…

For a moment, Dumbledore actually felt a little regretful.

Otherwise... I should just become the minister... I absolutely cannot put this child in danger.

"Professor, what do you want me to do?" Li Weide asked with a firm look.

"No... I can't do this. I still..." Dumbledore shook his head in confusion.

Before talking to Levid, Dumbledore had already made up his mind, even though he was struggling.

However, when he came face to face with the child, Dumbledore immediately regretted it.

If something really happened to Levitra, the blow to Dumbledore would be no less than the death of Ariana...

Because if anything happens to Li Weide, it will be because of him!

"Professor! Grindelwald wants to indoctrinate us students with his ideas, so... you want me to help you resist his indoctrination, right?"

"How... did you guess that?" Dumbledore looked at Levid in shock.

"Right now, the only thing I can do to have a positive impact on this matter is my mutual aid society... Everyone respects me. To be frank, even Professor Slughorn, the advisor, doesn't have as much influence on the members as I do. So... the best way is for me to lead everyone in resisting his brainwashing!"

"Wade...you are the smartest child I have ever met, but...I just thought about it, I can't do this! It's too dangerous...We were too selfish before! Minerva is right, putting such a burden on a child is a shame for all of us!" Dumbledore completely regretted it after fully realizing Wade's intelligence.

Rather than facing the pain of losing Ariana again in the future, Dumbledore would rather be the Minister of Magic!

"Professor, this is the best way..." Li Weide said slowly.

"We don't need to do this! I said, we were wrong!" Dumbledore said anxiously.

"Professor... Now, I already know this method, so whether you agree or not, I will do it. If Grindelwald wants to brainwash the members of my club... he has to ask me first! As long as I instill the correct ideas into the members first! Grindelwald will not be able to brainwash them!" Li Wei's eyes were so determined that he wanted to join the party!

Dumbledore looked at Levid with emotion, what a good boy he was… Even though he knew that doing so would directly anger Grindelwald and put his life in danger, he still did it without hesitation!

While Dumbledore was moved, Tom had already fully understood Levid's intention!

Indoctrination!

Levid's goal is not to stop Grindelwald from brainwashing!

He was looking for a suitable reason to openly instill his ideas into the members!

Li Weide’s own thoughts!

Even when he was instilling ideas and building his own loyal team, Dumbledore would not only not object, but would also support him!

And Grindelwald... thought that Levid was one of his own, so naturally he would also think that Levid's behavior of indoctrinating people was contributing to his cause!

In this way, both Dumbledore and Grindelwald once again became pawns for him to profit!

Horrible... so terrible!

You still call yourself a good person? You're not afraid of doing something wrong!

Chapter 207 Tom: Who? I go and deal with Grindelwald?

After coming out of Dumbledore's office.

The righteous expression on Li Weide's face gradually disappeared. He stood in the corridor and pondered for a long time. Then he turned to Tom and whispered, "Do you understand now?"

"I see." Tom nodded.

Based on what Levander had done before, combined with what Levander had just said to Dumbledore, Tom had completely understood Levander's thoughts.

"What do you understand?"

"Unified thoughts..." Tom paused, "our thoughts."

"Very good!" Li Weide smiled and then turned and left.

Tom quickly followed, "Where are we going now?"

"Go find Grindelwald!"

Tom couldn't help but wipe away the cold sweat. Li Weide was simply playing with fire.

After fooling around here, they continue fooling around there!

Isn't this cheating both sides...

"Are you sure?" Tom asked, chasing after him.

"I'm sure, but it doesn't matter if we fail. At Hogwarts, as long as Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet don't object, it will be fine. It won't affect the overall situation." Levid said calmly.

"It will be very dangerous, right?" Tom just felt a little tired.

Wouldn't it be better to just go to school peacefully? As for Grindelwald, let Dumbledore fight him?

If you want to develop your career, you can wait until you graduate and have more experience before planning it slowly!

Do we really need to start taking action now?

The person you provoked is a dark devil who kills without blinking an eye!

What’s the difference between this and dancing on the edge of a knife?

Just when Tom was worried about his life, Li Weide made another big move.

"But Grindelwald is now too wary of me, so this time you will deal with Grindelwald for me. I can see that he admires you very much."

"Who? Me?! I'm going to deal with Grindelwald?! I'm going to die!" Tom made a loud noise.

Tom was dumbfounded. I just wanted to go to school...how could going to school put my life in danger?

"No. He admires you very much." Li Weide said confidently.

"Appreciate... If he uses Legilimency on me, won't it fail? If it fails, won't I be dead? Grindelwald is not Dumbledore! He really knows how to use Legilimency!" Even though Tom was using the Whispering Charm to convey his message, his voice was trembling.

Levid rubbed his chin. "I admit that I did gamble a bit... If you fail, your life will be in danger. However, the odds are very good! So there's no need to worry too much! You just need to tell Grindelwald everything you just saw, and he will naturally make a judgment!"

"You're not risking your life, so of course you can talk without any worries!" Tom said anxiously.

A trace of disappointment flashed across Levid's face. "Tom, if you could stay calm instead of being so afraid of Grindelwald, you would have seen that I was just joking."
