Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 400 The "Ghostly Thing" Hidden in the Shadows...

"You just said you had a discovery." Grindelwald adjusted his sitting position and looked at Levid with a sharp gaze. "Now that I have shared my findings, it's your turn."

"Remember the Purger we met in Azkaban?" Levid asked.

"Of course, you said he was dying and there was a strong suspicion it wasn't him," Grindelwald repeated.

"Yes... He's dying, and some of his memories have been deleted." Li Weide said, "And I discovered tonight that the physical conditions of those we subdued are the same as that person's. They are all dying, and their magic power is weak..."

Grindelwald stood up suddenly and looked at Levid in surprise, "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

Li Weide said, "I checked many of them in succession, and every one of them was... and the interesting thing is... I found that the magic power of several of them had not become weak, but was decreasing rapidly! After a while, they were as weak as the man in Azkaban... So, Mr. Director, I think my previous judgment was wrong. The man in Azkaban is me..."

Grindelwald turned to look at a witch next to him. The witch immediately understood, opened the door and left in a hurry.

Levid understood that Grindelwald had sent someone to check.

Grindelwald sat down with a heavy heart, saying nothing.

Dumbledore said, "If that's the case... then it means they may have mastered a method to temporarily increase their magical power... Otherwise, if they are all like the Scourer in Azkaban, our attack tonight would be impossible to resist."

Each of Grindelwald's witch party members is strong, not to mention that all the elite members are out tonight.

A group of elite witches attacked a group of weaklings, but it was so difficult to defeat them that Grindelwald and his men had to take action personally to break in...

There is no other explanation except this one.

Grindelwald spoke again, "In other words... this might be a temporary method of increasing strength with very significant side effects. Once used, it will consume a large amount of vitality. So, after the time is up, their magic power will return to its original level, and they will all look like they are about to die..."

"It does seem to be the case at the moment, but to be rigorous, I think you should still consult a healer at St. Mungo's," Levid suggested.

Grindelwald's expression was grim. He believed in Levid's ability, and this matter was almost certain...

Since this is true, it proves one thing, that is, these guys are just tools, that is, the "truth" he is about to see is just something others deliberately let him see.

Including those pure-blood wizards who were about to be imprisoned, they were just poor scapegoats...

There is no doubt that even if those pure-bloods were given truth serum, the answer they would get would definitely be... that it was all their orders.

In other words, all my efforts for so long were just being led by the nose!
For a moment, Grindelwald's anger was almost suppressed, and everyone felt that the temperature in the whole room seemed to drop by several degrees.

Miravia stopped wiping her wand and her eyes fell on Grindelwald.

Grindelwald felt a chill on his back. He turned around and glanced at Miravia in confusion...

Then, the cold feeling disappeared.

"Forget it, now that things have come to this... let's just end this matter here. Just do as they wish and let those pure-bloods take the blame. They weren't innocent to begin with anyway..." Grindelwald said slowly.

It sounded as if Grindelwald had given up struggling, but his cold eyes told everyone present that this matter was not over yet!

Moreover, since this group of people came out once, they will definitely come out a second time!
This time he admitted defeat, but if they come out again...

Grindelwald looked at Levid, as if he wanted to say something, but when he saw Dumbledore was still beside him, Grindelwald didn't say it.

He walked towards the door, opened it, and then turned around and said, "Tonight's affairs will end here for now. I have to go and get busy. You... can go back. Of course, I will not forget your help tonight, so on behalf of the Ministry of Magic, I will give each of you an appropriate reward..."

Grindelwald said, closing the door and leaving.

"It seems someone is in trouble tonight," murmured Tom.

Grindelwald is now forcibly suppressing his anger... Therefore, whoever runs into him tonight will definitely become a punching bag and be in big trouble.

"His temper is much more restrained now. If it were in the past, this town would have been engulfed in flames." Li Weide said softly.

"Well..." Dumbledore stood up. "I won't let him do anything too extreme. You... go back first. And... Wade, it's best not to go out for a while. That group of people has been targeting you from the beginning... This incident seems to be just the aftermath of their failed operation..."

With that, Dumbledore also left the command post.

Li Weide sighed and stood up.

"Let's go, let's go back..."

He had long known that this world was much more complicated than the one he knew.

It's simply a parallel world within a parallel world. God knows what kind of ghost things are hidden in the darkness.

……

If Levid and his crew want to return to the moving castle, they don't need to go through so much trouble.

After they turned the ring, they were teleported directly back to the castle.

After saying good night to each other, Li Weide returned to his room.

Tom Cat was sleeping soundly in front of a plate by the wall. The plate contained not the iconic milk, but magical animal nutrient solution.

On the wall next to the plate, there is a small arched door. Behind the door is a small room that Li Weide specially prepared for Jerry...

Li Weide sat back at his desk, casually pulled out a piece of parchment, and then drew lines on it with a quill pen...

Countless winding lines combine to form a complex pattern.

A method that could drastically increase one's strength... even if it might cost them their lives, Li Weide didn't miss it. Therefore, during his inspection, he drew the trajectory of the magic that dissipated as those people's magic vanished...

"If we can eliminate these negative effects, it might be another trump card..."

……

Early the next morning, Toby brought Levid breakfast, newspapers, and a box sent in the name of the Ministry of Magic.

The front page headline of the Daily Prophet was the news that the attack on the Hogwarts Express had been solved.

The culprits were a few haggard, dejected-looking pure-blood wizards...

The newspapers said that it was they who instigated the remnants of the Purgers to attack the Hogwarts Express, intending to destroy the next generation of wizards in the British wizarding world...

The footage of the battle last night was also published in the newspaper, but Li Weide did not find his own people in those photos.

Dumbledore probably wanted them to keep a low profile. After all, he and Tom were still students, and they were not allowed to use magic during the holidays.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald turned a blind eye to this. If someone else saw it, it would be disastrous.

Li Wei De put down the newspaper and opened the box from the Ministry of Magic.

Inside the box was a stack of magic manuscripts.

Obviously, this was sent by Grindelwald in the name of the Ministry of Magic as a reward for Levitra's help last night.

He knew that Li Weide was not short of money, so he got a few magic manuscripts...

If Li Weide guessed correctly, each of Tom and the others would have their own reward.

Just as Li Weide was thinking this, his door was opened.

Miravia walked in carelessly, biting an apple, and sat directly on Li Weide's special sofa.

"Shouldn't you knock on the door before entering a boy's room?" Li Weide said helplessly, and then he tidied up his messy bed.

"Sorry, I forgot." Miravia said, "You know... I didn't have to knock on the door no matter where I went for the past few decades."

Li Weide was speechless. This girl only had consciousness before. Apart from the door of the Department of Mysteries, there was really no other door that could stop her...

"Did you know that I got a promotion today?" Miravia handed over a very beautiful piece of paper.

Li Weide took it and looked at it, only to find that it was an appointment letter, and it was an appointment letter appointing Miravia as the deputy director of the Department of Mysterious Affairs...

"Did you do it yourself?" Li Weide asked.

"No... I haven't been to work for days. I just received this message today." Miravia shook her head. "Besides, if I were to do it myself, I would have made myself the director."

"It seems this is Grindelwald's reward for you..." Levid smiled. "Actually, the position of Deputy Director is perfect. You can just be listed as a figurehead and don't have to work at all. You can continue to skip work."

Li Weide pondered as he looked at the appointment letter in his hand.

It now seems that even if Grindelwald hasn't completely taken over the British Ministry of Magic, it's almost there...

The battle last night and the vigorous arrest operation scared many people out of their wits.

Of course, I'll do whatever Grindelwald tells me to do...

Moreover, Grindelwald is now very powerful, and he found out that Miravia is a Unspoken Person so quickly.

Moreover, he must have noticed the strange changes in the Department of Mysteries, otherwise he would not have directly given Miravia the position of deputy director to do whatever she wants. This would have directly confirmed Miravia's identity without leaving any loopholes.

By doing this, on the one hand, you can demonstrate your abilities, and on the other hand, you can simply do a favor.

Of course he hoped to win over a witch like Miravia. It would be a good thing to do her a favor. After all, it was a position in the Ministry of Magic and Grindelwald didn't have to spend a single gold Galleon.

"Click!" Li Weide's door was pushed open again.

"Ved! Grindelwald sent me this..." Tom rushed in.

"No...do none of you really know that you have to knock on the door before entering someone else's room?" Li Weide said helplessly.

Tom said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say we are all brothers? Then I will naturally not be an outsider..."

"Okay, okay... What did Grindelwald send you?" asked Levid.

"A box of memories." Tom took out a box.

Li Weide discovered that there were dozens of small bottles neatly arranged in the box, and each small bottle contained a memory that could be placed in the meditation basin to be read.

"He also left a letter saying that this box contains his memories of fighting in the Witch Party... Let me think about it carefully," said Tom.

"This gift suits you quite well..." Li Weide paused, then continued, "But... we need to buy a Pensieve... Tom, do you have any money?"

"Ah? You still want me to spend money? We are good brothers, right?!" Tom said dissatisfiedly.

"Yeah, since we're good brothers, how can you have the nerve to ask me to help you spend money?"
