Hogwarts: Why do you call me the Demon King?

In this exam, Percy Weasley earned 12 certificates, all with perfect scores.

Next comes the NEWTs (Ministry of Magic's Advanced Professional Examinations) for seventh-year students, the highest-level exams at Hogwarts that determine admission to high-end magical professions.

Professions such as Aurors, St. Mungo's healers, high-ranking officials in the Ministry of Magic, alchemists, and spell researchers all require a high NEWT score in the corresponding subject.

Percy Weasley also achieved perfect scores on all 12 exams.

This was also an important condition for him to become the personal assistant of the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement as soon as he joined the Ministry of Magic.

What exactly is this Department of Magical Law Enforcement? Well, let's put it this way: it has a subordinate unit called the Auror Office.

This Magical Law Enforcement Division is equivalent to a combination of the Muggle world's Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Justice, police system, and Supreme Court.

Its director has always been a strong contender for Minister of Magic.

Percy Weasley was chosen to be the secretary to the Director of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, which was certainly due to his surname, Weasley.

However, having 12 perfect scores is also a strict requirement for exceptional promotion.

But Barty Crouch, the then-director, never expected that he would recruit a "fool".

Ignoring Percy Weasley's later dismal career, he was undeniably outstanding during his time at Hogwarts.

Even the most studious students at Ravenclaw admit this.

Doesn't this meet Dumbledore's definition of a good young wizard?

"Of course not, Isaac, you're focusing on the wrong thing. Grindelwald and Tom's excellence has never been about their certificates or so-called achievements."

"Grindelwald's excellence lies in the fact that he displayed an amazing, or rather, terrifying, talent for dark magic at the age of 16."

Tom, however, is the true backbone of their excellence, thanks to his Parsleyan accent, his talent for magic, and his dueling prowess.

"So..." Isaac pondered, "to achieve such talent, one must do things that ordinary wizards cannot?"

Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction; his excellence in his youth was not an award from Hogwarts.

Rather, he was able to engage in academic exchanges with alchemist Nicolas Flamel and magic historian Bathilda Bagshot.

In other words, if you want to follow the same "invincible path" as Dumbledore, Grindelwald, and Voldemort, being outstanding at Hogwarts is not enough.

Even if someone is as outstanding as Percy Weasley, they are still just an excellent ordinary wizard.

A true "young master" must do things that his peers cannot.

“So…” Isaac understood what Dumbledore was trying to say.

"So you can try to subdue a dark wizard. Don't worry, I'll be watching from the sidelines."

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Isaac didn't think about himself, but rather about Harry Potter's "adventures" at Hogwarts.

First graders sleep with their teachers and Voldemort; second graders sleep with their teachers and Basilisks; third graders sleep with fugitives and Dementors; fourth graders sleep with students from other schools...

Don't tell me, you really shouldn't tell me!

If we follow Dumbledore's theory, Harry Potter's enemies at Hogwarts over the years have been of exceptionally high quality.

Even at their age, Dumbledore and Grindelwald were unable to face an enemy like Voldemort.

Even though it was just a remnant soul and was restrained by Harry Potter, the quality of that "adventure" was exceptionally high.

When Harry Potter is in his seventh year of school, he will be able to exchange magic beams with Tom, which may be due to the added advantage of his invincible magic path.

The only difference between Isaac and Harry Potter is that Harry embarked on this "magical path" without knowing it.

Now Dumbledore has laid this path before Isaac and is asking him if he is willing to take it.

Let's go! Of course we'll go!

In this world where magic is power, there lies an invincible path that has already been paved by predecessors.

With a world-class "guardian" to look after him, it would be a fool for Isaac not to agree.

He's just a lowly dark wizard, deal with him!

The enemy will never wait until everyone is ready to attack, and he is no ordinary little wizard!

"it is good!"

"Don't worry, Isaac, your... what did you say?" Dumbledore seemed to want to persuade him further, but he didn't expect Isaac to agree so decisively.

He is not only decisive, but also has strong execution ability.

"Professor Dumbledore, hide well. Oh, and remember to protect Anthony for me later."

He's too old to withstand the torment of a dark wizard.

Isaac promptly pulled out his wand and examined it carefully, like a warrior preparing his weapon before going into battle.

Finally, he nodded to Dumbledore and left the Magic Candy Shop.

After leaving the Magic Candy Shop, Isaac headed straight for the exit of Diagon Alley, passed through the Leaky Cauldron, and summoned the Knight Bus at the door.

After giving the address 12 Medway Street, Isaac strapped himself to the "seat" of the bus and experienced the magic bus speeding along.

Isaac was quite certain that the dark wizard who was following him hadn't boarded the magic bus, but he had no doubt that the dark wizard had a way of finding 12 Medway Street.

He just needs to wait for the enemy to come to him.

About 20 minutes later, a wizard appeared at Isaac's doorstep using Apparition.

He first checked the house number, then sneered twice.

"Alohomora!" He pointed his wand at Isaac's front door, and the next second, with the sound of the lock popping open, the iron gate outside the garden slowly swung open.

Chapter 21 Uncle Ge, I want to take care of you in your old age!

"Tsk... An unexpectedly well-mannered dark wizard?" Isaac stood at the window, watching the dark wizard enter using a lock-picking spell, marveling at the excellence of Hogwarts' education.

"I thought he was going to use a blasting spell to blow the door open."

It has to be said that Hogwarts really does have a bit of a compulsory education feel to it in the wizarding world.

Most dark wizards in the British wizarding world received their basic education at Hogwarts.

This kind of education enabled these dark wizards to use different spells in different situations, even before their minds were completely corrupted by dark magic.

For example, if faced with an iron gate, an invading dark wizard will still use a lock-picking spell.

As soon as he stepped into the garden, the dark wizard looked up abruptly and met Isaac's gaze, who was standing by the window.

Isaac waved his wand at him and then disappeared by the window.

"Hmph! You ignorant brat." The black wizard narrowed his eyes and quickly walked towards the two-story villa.

“Gellert, I’m a little curious, do all wizards who study and use dark magic eventually become this irrational?”

Isaac moved quickly, but didn't run around the villa. He held his wand cautiously but without fear.

He even had the mind to discuss the dark wizard's mind with Grindelwald, who was standing next to him.

Isaac's behavior in Diagon Alley was fairly typical for a young wizard, so it's somewhat reasonable that the dark wizard who was tracking him didn't suspect anything.

But now, he had already invaded the little wizard's house and brazenly walked into Isaac's yard.

The two looked at each other through the glass. Instead of panicking, the little wizard smiled and waved to him from the window.

Most people would think that there might be a trap involved.

The dark wizard didn't think; instead, he charged even more fiercely.

"What is your definition of a dark wizard?" Grindelwald remained the same elegant old man.

He followed Isaac at a leisurely pace, completely disregarding the dark wizards below.

He certainly had the right to not care about the dark wizard, and most importantly, his true form wasn't here.

Isaac didn't have the ability to simply throw the dark wizard into Nurmengard.

Having not seen Grindelwald for many days, Isaac suspected that the old man's appearance this time was not for him.

It was for Dumbledore, who is currently hiding somewhere unknown.

Alright, alright, so the old folks used this first-year wizard as a bridge for love stories, huh?

"A wizard who uses black magic?" Isaac thought for a moment and gave a somewhat uncertain answer.

Grindelwald laughed heartily after hearing this, and then said that according to Isaac's standards, at least 99% of the wizarding world in Britain would have to be imprisoned in Azkaban.

Isaac, that little wizard, was even more extreme than Grindelwald.

“To be precise, he should be a wizard who abuses dark magic,” Grindelwald explained unhurriedly.

"The wizard's will influences magic, and magic can also erode the wizard's will."

The moderate use of dark magic will not cause a wizard's personality to change drastically, but its abuse will accelerate the erosion of willpower by magic.

Grindelwald gave a very straightforward example: "Like saints and death eaters—my followers never make themselves look like madmen."

Grindelwald somewhat disliked his junior, Voldemort.

While Grindelwald was still active in Europe, he was never called the "Demon King".

Because he is not a terrorist.

He could be a reformer, a dictator, or even the most dangerous criminal.
