The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Li Weide looked at the colorful vortex on the top of the tent, and then said, "Take away all the dark creatures in the tent."

"No!" Grindelwald said stubbornly. "It's not completely proven that the dark creatures are to blame!"

Education reform is an indispensable part of his plan and cannot be stillborn!

Dumbledore said coldly, "Grindelwald! Isn't the current situation obvious enough? The longer these dark creatures gather together, the more frequent these things will happen! You know, today during the day, it was just some hallucinations! At night, the hallucinations became reality! Aren't you worried at all?"

Li Weide looked at the vortex on the tent that was slowly growing larger at an imperceptible speed and said calmly, "Professor, we can't delay any longer. Since he doesn't want to transport these dark creatures...how about this...we store them in several different places?"

Levid's words made Dumbledore and Grindelwald's eyes light up.

Since these strange situations are most likely caused by the excessive gathering of dark creatures, which creates a chaotic magical magnetic field, such strange situations have occurred.

It is indeed a feasible method to store these dark creatures separately to reduce the magical magnetic field.

After all, nothing so strange had happened before these dark creatures were brought here.

"Okay... everyone, let's do it!" After ensuring that his own interests would not be harmed, Grindelwald made a prompt decision.

The witches immediately rushed into the tent.

After a while, packed boxes of all sizes floated behind these witch party members and flew out of the tent.

"Sir, how should we divide it?" asked a Wu Zetian member.

"Spread out according to the original grade divisions!" Grindelwald said solemnly. "First-years, those dealing with the dark creatures, go that way. Second-years, go this way... Each group should be two hundred meters apart."

The witch party members were very efficient. After a while, they each took the boxes containing the dark creatures and quickly left in all directions.

Dumbledore immediately felt that the chaotic magical magnetic field was rapidly weakening!

He looked at Li Weide, "How is it?"

Dumbledore couldn't see the situation of magic and could only rely on his senses, so he wanted to get more accurate information from Levid.

"Far away! Five hundred meters is best!" Li Weide said in a deep voice after looking carefully.

Grindelwald did not ask any more questions at this time and directly conveyed the order, changing the distance between each other from 200 meters to 500 meters.

When everyone arrived at the location, Li Weide found that the originally colorful vortex had gradually dissipated.

"It really works." Li Weide said.

Dumbledore also felt it, although the dark magic power of the dark creatures was still there.

But that chaotic magical magnetic field completely disappeared!

Everyone stayed there for a long time, and the inexplicable situation before did not happen again!

In other words, these strange situations are actually caused by that chaotic magical magnetic field?

After Grindelwald had everyone set up their tents again to prevent the dark creatures from attacking them, he seriously asked Levid, "What on earth is going on? What did you think of just now?"

Dumbledore also looked over, wanting to know what Levid was thinking.

Li Weide looked at the lawn below him, then sat down cross-legged.

Seeing this, Dumbledore and Grindelwald simply followed Levid and sat on the ground.

Li Weide didn't keep the secret and said directly: "I think these similar people may come from a parallel world, or in other words, a parallel universe..."

The reason why Li Weide thought of the parallel world was because of his own time-travel experience!

Since I traveled from the original Earth to the current Earth, why can't it be said that it is another parallel world?

At this moment, Dumbledore and Grindelwald looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

"What does this mean?" Grindelwald asked.

At this time, Li Weide also remembered that the theory of parallel worlds was proposed by Muggle physicists in the 1950s.

In this modern age, it is not surprising that Dumbledore and Grindelwald were unaware of this.

Li Weide thought for a moment, then said, "To make it easier for you to understand this concept, let me first give you an example similar to this theory... You should know what time travel is."

Grindelwald nodded. "Yes, of course I know. There's a room in the Department of Mysteries within the Ministry of Magic dedicated to the study of time... What? Do you think the people we just encountered were all versions of ourselves from different time periods?"

"No, please listen to me first." Li Weide said.

"Okay, go on..."

"I want to ask, what would happen if someone deviated while time traveling and accidentally changed something in the past?" Li Weide asked again.

Dumbledore replied, "This has indeed happened in the past. A time traveler encountered an accident while using a time-twister and was transported back centuries... When she returned to the present day, her body seemed to have aged by centuries... Moreover, because of her accident, many people who should have existed disappeared without a trace... It must be that she changed something in the past, causing many people who should have existed to not be born! This was a catastrophic mistake..."

Li Weide nodded and tapped the ground with his wand.

The lawn in front of him suddenly turned into sand.

Li Weide used his magic wand to draw a straight line on the sand. At the left end point of the line, he marked a number "1", and in the middle of the line, he marked a number "2".

Li Weide continued, "Suppose these two points are time nodes, and her time travel is from the time node of point 2 back to point 1. Originally, according to the development of history, the time flow at point 1 would naturally come to point 2. However, after the accident..."

Li Weide then drew a branch diagonally to the side between point 1 and point 2, and then added a straight line on the branch parallel to the previous straight line.

Then, on this new straight line, at almost the same place as point 2, point 3 was marked.

"After the accident, the timeline changed. What was supposed to arrive at point 2 has now arrived at point 3. A lot of things have changed."

"For example, at time point 2, Tom was attending school at Hogwarts. However, after the changes, Tom, who was supposed to be born, was not born this time. So, at time point 3, there is no Tom at Hogwarts..."

"The Hogwarts at Point 2 and Point 3 are exactly the same. There's Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and the same students from other departments... It can be said that, except for the absence of Tom, the world at Point 3 is almost identical to the world at Point 2!"

"However, precisely because of Tom's absence, the timelines of Points 2 and 3 have become two extremely similar yet different worlds!"

"Because of changes in the past, Tom is gone in timeline 3, but in timeline 2, Tom exists!"

"If this time traveler knew Tom, then she should have memories of Tom when she returned to the present!"

"This also means that while Timeline 3 exists, the original Timeline 2 will not disappear!"

"On timeline 2, this time traveler may not have returned to the past..."

Dumbledore said, "I think I understand what you mean. In our timeline, Tom exists, but in the other timeline, Tom does not exist... These are two possibilities... They become two similar yet different worlds."

Grindelwald also understood a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he continued to look at Levid.

Li Weide continued, "Since different timelines have similar worlds, similar people, and similar events, then... can we think of it this way: outside of our world, there are also worlds that are similar to ours, but different?"

"You mean... what I just encountered was myself from another world?" Grindelwald asked.

"Yes, do you remember what's different about the two new Bests?" Li Weide asked.

Dumbledore said, "Their hair color is different... Moreover, the newly appeared Grindelwald still holds the Elder Wand... In other words, the Elder Wand of Grindelwald in that world has not yet been confiscated by me. This is the difference between similar worlds..."

Chapter 273 The person who was replaced! The memory gradually disappeared!

"Each kind of dark creature emits different black magic powers. At present, it seems that when these types increase in number, it is possible that the two parallel worlds will partially overlap. At the same time, people in the overlapping area will see themselves in another world. Of course, judging from the situation just now, it may be that two worlds overlap, or it may be that three worlds overlap..." Li Weide concluded.

"This is truly a remarkable discovery..." Dumbledore looked at Grindelwald with a complicated expression. "I suppose, from ancient times to the present, no one besides you has ever attempted to collect so many dark creatures and put them in one place?"

"Strange... Really strange..." Grindelwald muttered to himself.

He recalled the brief confrontation with his other-worldly self. He had to admit, the Elder Wand's amplification was indeed very powerful...

However, now that the Elder Wand is in Dumbledore's hands, it will not be so easy for him to get it back.

Suddenly, Grindelwald's eyes began to flicker...

"I want to ask, why does the self from another world appear when parallel worlds overlap? Why don't other people appear?"

Li Weide said: "Because parallel worlds are both similar and different. Since we are here today, it is very likely that we from another similar world will also appear here, even if the reasons are different. Of course, if we happen to overlap with a parallel world that does not exist, we will not see our other self..."

At this moment, Dumbledore and Grindelwald both remembered that during the day, a non-existent witch seemed to have appeared in the team...

In other words, this witch party does exist in another parallel world, but not in this world.

Suddenly, Grindelwald and Dumbledore looked up at each other at the same time, and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

Grindelwald said slowly, "Today... several of my friends attacked the centaurs... I believe they saw centaurs from another world. And the centaurs from that world were about to attack... These friends have always vaguely remembered a mutual friend, but now, that friend's memory is gradually fading... And the others who were present at the time don't remember having such a mutual friend... Does this mean..."

Li Weide frowned. "You mean... when the parallel worlds overlapped, there was a replacement? They from another parallel world came to our world, while they from our world went to another world?"

"Hmm...is that possible?" Grindelwald asked hesitantly.

"Are you familiar with those people?" Li Weide asked.

"Of course! They are all my beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters!" Grindelwald raised his head and said with a little pride.

"Please call them over." Li Weide said.

Grindelwald waved his hand, and soon the four witches from the daytime came over.

"When he asks you questions, answer them truthfully," Grindelwald said.

The four witch-conspirators all nodded.

"Excuse me, what are your names?"

"Gregor Hawkins."

"Godfrey Hill."

"Yuli Miller."

"Gottfried Martin."

The four of them gave their names one after another, and Levid looked at Grindelwald. "Are their names correct?"

"Of course." Grindelwald asked doubtfully, "Why do you ask?"

"A parallel world is another world that is similar to our world but different from it. This difference can be manifested in any aspect. That is to say, even if the characters are exactly the same, their names may not be the same," said Li Weide.

"Is that so...then they were not switched," Grindelwald mused.

The four of them looked at each other, completely confused as to what Grindelwald and the others were talking about. However, since he was their boss after all, they didn't dare to ask...

"I can't draw a conclusion yet..." Li Weide touched his chin, "Can you take out your wands for us to see?"

The four of them drew out their wands and placed them in their palms.

Just as Levid was about to ask a question, Grindelwald beside him spoke in surprise, "Gottfried, where is your ebony wand?"

"What ebony wand?" Gottfried Martin looked at Grindelwald in confusion. "I've always used a cherry wand. This one was given to me by you."

Grindelwald's eyes widened as he looked up and down at Gottfried Martin in front of him in confusion.

Li Weide narrowed his eyes slightly, "Ebony? Cherry? You... do you still remember the friend you mentioned today?"

The four of them frowned and recalled.

Gottfried Martin hesitated and said, "We were just discussing this... This morning we did remember there was such a person, but we had forgotten his name and appearance. But now... we no longer have the familiar feeling we had during the day... Maybe it was really an illusion..."

Grindelwald waved his hand and let the four people leave.

Grindelwald waited until they were far away before speaking solemnly, "Gottfried's wand was the gift I gave him when I recruited him. It was modified by a wand master. But... the wand I gave him was ebony, not cherry!"

"Oh... poor Mr. Martin..." Li Weide said with pity.

Suddenly, Li Weide said again: "No, it should be more than just Mr. Martin. The other three should also be people from parallel worlds. However, the difference between the other three people may not be in their wands. The reason... is that they all have a common friend who is gradually being forgotten!"

"Well, now we have a new conclusion!"

With the new discovery, Li Weide looked very excited.

"In addition to the reasons we mentioned earlier that can cause parallel worlds to appear, there is also the possibility that the same person in a parallel world, for some reason, such as standing in the same position, may be replaced when the parallel world's passage disappears."

"If there are people or things in another world that exist but not in our world."

"And if the person who swapped in happened to remember this person or thing before, then after the passage to the parallel world closes, the memory of this person or thing in the other world that existed in their mind will slowly disappear..."

"Because it's like a different timeline, in our world, that person or thing doesn't exist! So, after the channel is closed, this part of the memory will gradually disappear."

"Of course, we can't rule out the possibility of memory recovery. For example, if the two parallel worlds intersect again... I can't confirm this yet!"

Because the same person appears, but the wand becomes different.

At this time, Grindelwald, who had originally doubted Levid's speculation about the parallel world, now couldn't help but believe it.

“I just hope that in that parallel world that Gottfried accidentally went to… [I] won’t be too suspicious…” Grindelwald sighed deeply.

After all, they are two parallel worlds. God knows what the differences are?

What if the self in that world is still a cruel and suspicious person? If Gottfried shows any difference, he might be mistaken for a fake and killed...

"Memory...parallel world..." Li Weide fell into deep thought again.
