From Azkaban

Even Harry, who also came from the Muggle world and had studied with Locke for two months, could not compare to him in this respect.

After finishing a class, Locke also made a distinction between the students in his mind. Hermione was undoubtedly the first tier, Harley Draco was the second tier, Ron could barely be considered the second tier, and the rest were basically the third tier.

This also once again deepened Locke's attention to Hermione. After all, for a brand new subject, one top talent is better than thousands of mediocre people.

Just like science in the Muggle world, it is always that small group of top talents who truly drive scientific progress.

"The club can start preparations now. Hermione cannot be left alone. She must be carefully trained. There are too few people like her who meet the standards."

In the Hogwarts library, Locke, who had just arrived, was looking for new books in the forbidden library while thinking about the follow-up arrangements.

"There are many geniuses, but there are very few who are geniuses in both systems. With such innate conditions, she is undoubtedly the most suitable person to study magic science."

"And her identity is also very advantageous. Her origin in the Muggle world will play a huge role in the future and become an iconic role model."

While thinking, Locke caught a glimpse of a book that was surrounded by a strong curse, and he immediately reached out and took it out without hesitation.

"The wizard population is too small after all, and even if we estimate it in the best case scenario, we won't be able to find talents like Hermione in the wizarding world in the next ten years."

"If you want a genius like Hermione, you can only replicate her situation and look for her in the Muggle world. Given the huge population base of Muggles, Hermione's situation is definitely not an isolated case."

Reaching out again and pulling out a book that was extremely dangerous to other wizards from the bookshelf, Locke stopped searching and took the two books to his exclusive reading area.

This exclusive reading area was set up by Professor McGonagall specifically for Locke because the books he reads are basically very dangerous.

Locke took the book to his exclusive reading area, but did not open the book to read immediately after he sat down.

"If you want to look for it in the Muggle world, you have to go out. Britain alone is not enough. The admission book of Hogwarts is basically guaranteed, so you can only look for it in other countries."

In fact, Locke is most inclined to go to the Eastern country to look for it. After all, when it comes to population base, talent base and level, it has always been the absolute world's top level since ancient times.

But thinking of the current situation in that country, Locke temporarily gave up the idea. The water there is too deep, and it is now an extremely sensitive and tense moment. It is better not to touch it for the time being.

"I don't know how the Dursleys are progressing right now. With Lucius' help, the acquisition of the Granning Company shouldn't be a problem. Once the Dursleys take control of the Granning Company, the next step will be expansion."

Locke's arrangements for the Muggle world have always been based on stability, so even if it is necessary to expand the base of the Muggle world, it is done according to the rules of the Muggle world rather than simplifying things with the power of wizards.

"We can take our time to contact Muggle wizard families, but before that, maybe we can contact Hermione's parents first."

Special cases require special treatment, and talents like Hermione naturally need comprehensive consideration.

Besides, like the Dursleys, Hermione's parents were in a relatively suitable position.

He belongs to the upper-middle class elite, but is generally far from reaching the level of Justin Finch-Fletchley. He is the most suitable person to contact in the early stage when the basic foundation of the Muggle world has not yet been fully developed.

Although it may make people feel uncomfortable to say this, there is no doubt that such families are easier to control and influence than the real powerful class.

If the price is higher, Locke cannot guarantee whether he or anyone in his social circle has knowledge of the wizarding world. If so, it would be a considerable risk of exposure.

Many members of the British royal family and senior political circles knew about the magical world and wizards, and Locke was very clear about this from the beginning to the end.

Therefore, once those guys become aware of Locke's layout in the Muggle world, their sensitive sense of political power will inevitably detect something immediately and respond quickly.

Even though these British politicians and senior officials may be slow to react and push each other in other aspects, once you make them feel that you have touched their vital points, you will witness what efficiency is.

That was not the situation Locke wanted to see. Although he could use magic to overcome everything, he was well aware of the hidden dangers that came with that method. If he wanted to survive for a long time, he couldn't rely on magic for everything.

Of course, the most important point is that Locke, relying on the inherent advantages brought by the plot, can be sure of the love of Hermione's parents for her. This is the fundamental reason why Locke chose to contact them first.

If it really comes to the top political elites in the UK, children may be important, but at the truly critical moment, children can also be bargaining chips or pawns. This is common throughout Europe and has been the case throughout history.

After all, in Europe's past history, brotherly love and respect for each other were just minor issues. What was really amazing was the regular scenes of a loving father and his son, or a loving mother and her son, and the frequency of these scenes was unrivaled in the world.

"Let's finish preparing the club first. There are seven grades, and I don't know how many people will be able to join after screening."

Locke's professor club is different from other professors' clubs. His club is not a place for students to expand their relationships and prepare for future employment.

His club is a place for students to continue their studies and allow real talents to concentrate on learning and growing.

Simply put, if Hogwarts is compared to high school, Locke's club is the university. Those who are selected can continue to learn and grow in this university, regardless of whether they graduate or not.

Volume 1: Chapter 131: The Bear and Grindelwald

At present, the Locke Club is mainly set up for sixth and seventh grade students.

After all, these students are about to graduate. At this stage, even if they are interested in magic science and have shown talent, time does not allow them to learn more.

After all, the society of the magical world is also a society, and wizards also need to enter society and deal with life, becoming hard-working workers.

So Locke chose to open his own club to solve this embarrassing situation.

The Round Table has never been short of money, whether it was when they came out of Azkaban just now or now.

For real talents, it is an absolute waste to let them go and compete with life.

Therefore, as long as the student can enter his club, Locke will solve all his economic and social status problems to ensure that he can study and grow with peace of mind.

When he grows up enough to be independent, he will be able to graduate from Locke, and at that time, there will be various positions already prepared waiting for him to choose.

In a nutshell, as long as you join Locke's club and keep maintaining your level, you will definitely have a bright future.

This kind of extremely elitist education has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can cultivate a group of talents in the shortest time and lay a good foundation for the future of magic science.

The downside is that it will give rise to academic cliques and related interest groups, leading to a monopoly of knowledge.

However, this problem is not a problem for Locke. After all, this is a world where the power of an individual can suppress everything.

Locke did not dare to say anything else, but at least before his death, such a monopoly of knowledge was bound to not occur.

.............................

Because there were no classes today, Locke was reading in the library until he saw Mrs. Pince leave work. Then he put the two books back and went back to his office.

Normally, as a professor, Locke could borrow banned books, but because the books Locke read were too dangerous, even though he was a professor, he could only take them away for one night.

However, borrowing books in that way was too troublesome, so after trying several times, Locke made a more profitable choice, which was to read the books in the forbidden library during the day and read his own collection in the office at night.

Now Locke basically only rests for an hour and a half every day for meditation. This is the limit that can be compressed at present. It can manage the time to the greatest extent without causing accumulation of mental fatigue and affecting learning efficiency.

"I hope tomorrow's second grade class will give me a surprise."

Locke's schedule is simple, with one class per day, starting with the first grade on Mondays, and so on to the seventh grade on Sundays, with each class taught by all four colleges together.

Because of this course arrangement, Locke's club will not be launched until the end of the first week, when he has also preliminarily screened students from seven grades.

Locke's club does not set any conditions for joining. If you have to say, there is only one condition, and that is his invitation.

After the club was prepared, it was time to take time to contact Hermione's parents. Locke thought the Christmas holidays were a good choice.

The world-weary heart writes the postscript of the eagle's successor

"Speaking of Christmas holidays, this year is 1991. I remember that the bear seemed to have cracked this year..."

When this time point was mentioned, Locke's memory was triggered and he immediately thought of this key question.

"Hiss~ It seems like there is a lot of potential!"

Locke had been busy before and his thoughts had never been about this, so he had never thought about this matter. Now that he thought about it, he realized that he almost missed a great opportunity.

"The division and turmoil in the Mao Bear is world-class, and it is foreseeable that not only the Muggle world, but also the wizarding world over there will inevitably be affected."

Locke's pace gradually slowed down, his eyes flickered, and he was looking through the memories of his previous life.

Soon, Locke found what he wanted in the memories of his predecessor, the largest magic academy in Russia, Kodosdoriz.

Unlike Durmstrang, this is a magic academy located in the native land of the bear country and is also one of the 11 registered schools of the International Federation of Witches.

This school, like Durmstrang, hides its location very well. Thanks to the vast land of the Russian Federation, this school may be the most difficult to locate.

"There is great potential for the students in this school..."

Locke summarized the existing information and came to a rough conclusion that the majority of students in Kodosdoriz are most likely Muggle wizards.

The reason is simple. The enrollment area of ​​Durmstrang in Northern Europe is very close to Z, which is separated from Kodosdorri.

But Durmstrang only recruits non-Muggle-born, that is, pure-blood students, so Locke inferred that Kodostoriz's enrollment is very likely to include Muggle-born students from Northern Europe and Eastern Europe, and the number of Muggle students is even greater.

After all, with the competitor Durmstrang around, some, or even a large part, of the pure-blood student resources will inevitably be taken away.

"I just can't determine where this school is..."

This is the biggest difficulty. Given the area of ​​Russia’s territory, it is not easy to find it in a short period of time.

“This is something that needs to be considered carefully.”

Keeping this in mind, Locke quickened his pace and quickly returned to his office. However, just as he put his suitcase away and prepared to log into the magic network to contact Lucius, there was a sudden knock on his office door.

"dong dong"

Locke, who was interrupted, raised his head and looked at the door. "Come in, the door is not locked."

"Squeak~"

The office door was pushed open, and a skinny hand was holding the door. The next moment, an old man with an equally skinny and sunken face, wearing a white inner garment and a black windbreaker on the outer garment, walked into the room.

"you are?"

Looking at the old man who entered the room, Locke narrowed his eyes slightly. The first time he saw the old man, Locke sensed a sense of threat from him. It was not high, but slightly less than Dumbledore.

Wizards of this level are not easy to come by. Looking at the other party's skinny appearance and those strange black and white pupils, Locke gradually had a guess in his mind.

"No way, when did Old Deng become so decisive?"

Just as Locke was guessing in his heart, the old man entered the room, closed the door, and smiled at Locke.

"Nice to meet you, Professor Cazier. I am the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gellert Grindelwald."

The old man's straightforward self-introduction made Locke's pupils shrink slightly, and then the corners of his mouth raised and he smiled.

"I really didn't expect that Headmaster Dumbledore would bring you here, Mr. Grindelwald."

To be honest, this situation was beyond Locke's expectations. Seeing that Grindelwald was obviously not here just to say hello, Locke secretly released the detection magic and did not find Dumbledore around.

"Before we start chatting, may I ask you a question? Does Headmaster Dumbledore know that Mr. Grindelwald is coming to meet me?"

Volume 1: Chapter 132 Progress

"Grindelwald...Witch Party..."

Locke sat in a chair, leaning back against the backrest with his eyelids drooped.

Just now, Locke had a conversation with Grindelwald. The content of the conversation was not complicated. It was mainly because it was the first time the two met, and there was not much to say.

However, Grindelwald mentioned his former followers, the Witch Party, during the conversation.

Normally, with the fall of Grindelwald, these followers of Grindelwald will inevitably be liquidated, either dying or being imprisoned in Nurmengard with Grindelwald.

But in reality, this kind of thing is unrealistic. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for all of Grindelwald's followers to be wiped out.

After all, that was the wizarding elite of the whole of Europe, and among them were countless pure-blood families from the magical world of various countries.

The only way to completely settle the matter is for Dumbledore to call out the names one by one with his wand.

Locke was not surprised by this. Just like when Voldemort fell, Lucius and other pure-blood families relied on their family background to survive.

What really surprised Locke was another piece of information Grindelwald revealed.

In just two days since he left Nurmengard, he had actually recalled a large number of his old subordinates, and from Grindelwald's tone, those old subordinates were still willing to follow him.

This is what really surprised Locke, because Grindelwald’s followers were once spread all over Europe and even the United States.

Locke understood that with Grindelwald's charm and ability, he must be much stronger than Voldemort, so it was normal for him to summon his old subordinates.

But the efficiency of action is so fast. In the current magical world where communication still basically depends on writing letters, Locke thinks there is only one possibility to achieve this.

"It seems that even while staying in Nurmengard, Grindelwald still maintained contact with his old subordinates."

Thinking of this, Locke couldn't help but compare them and found that the gap in level between the first and second generation Dark Lord was really huge.

"Both are downfalls, but one is like a broken chain, cutting off some of its connections and lying dormant. It can come back anytime it wants, while the other is like monkeys scattering like monkeys when the tree falls."

Locke shook his head slightly. How should I put it? There is no doubt that the magic world is going downhill. If no intervention is made, it will be the end of it in the future.

And this is also the reason why Grindelwald came to find Locke. In the two days since leaving Nurmengard, Grindelwald has already roughly understood the current situation in the wizarding world.

Grindelwald gave an evaluation of the current magical world, "a bunch of self-tamed scum."

Grindelwald couldn't imagine how a group of wizards who couldn't even perform the Shield Charm would be able to withstand the attack of Muggles in the future.

"Forget it, let's put this matter aside for now. The Wachowski Party... let's wait and see. The Round Table Council has no plans to leave the UK, so we won't meet them for now."

Having made the decision in his heart, Locke stopped thinking about it. He connected his consciousness to the magic network, entered the exclusive space of the Round Table Council, and began to contact Lucius through the magic network.

"The most important thing now is the promotion of the magic network and magic technology. The rest is to see if we can get involved before the bear breaks apart and get a piece of the pie."

Thinking of the size of the woolly bear, Locke felt a surge of excitement in his heart. If he could get a piece of meat from the woolly bear, it would bring huge benefits to the development of the Round Table Council and the Muggle world.
