A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 879 I, Grindelwald's disciple, accept your challenge!

As a Durmstrang student, this academic year has been quite a shock.

Previously, Karkarov was a cunning, stingy, and irritable old headmaster.

If there were a contest for Durmstrang's worst principal in 500 years, he would definitely be in the top three.

How bad is it?

To save money, they can turn off the heating, under the guise of:

To toughen their bodies.

Violating school rules results in being locked up in solitary confinement and forced to shovel snow in the plaza outside the school gate, under the pretext of:

Civilization is its spirit.

Paying a little money can get you out of punishment, under the guise of:

It lets you experience the harsh realities of society in advance.

But the start of a three-way championship changed everything.

Karkaroff was full of confidence and took Krum to Hogwarts, but in the end the championship was won by Granger.

Everyone thought that the principal would become even worse after returning, but unexpectedly, he changed his ways.

Not only did they abolish corporal punishment, but they also turned the heating up to the maximum.

This has attracted so-called advanced teaching experiences, with slogans such as "all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness and magic".

Every day he talks about Stark and Granger, telling everyone to be humble and learn from them!

Looking up at the sky?

Is this still the same old Kawhi Leonard who takes bribes without hesitation and never hesitates to eat their food?

The most outrageous:

The senior wizards who returned with him also began to defend Karkaroff, believing him to be a good headmaster.

Are you sure it's not due to excessive manipulation and the development of Stockholm syndrome?

They learned that in the Alps, when faced with giants, Karkaroff didn't run away but instead saved them...

Well, it's more plausible to say it's Stockholm syndrome.

Today, everyone's understanding of Karkarov has reached a new level.

He accompanied two unfamiliar young wizards as they toured the school, chatting and laughing, acting like a lackey.

He's completely different from his previous serious and unsmiling self.

That young wizard is quite outrageous too.

He casually fixed the school's magic fountain, which had been broken for many years.

Karkaroff was reluctant to spend money to have someone fix it, and the fountain was indeed difficult to repair; it contained various kinds of magic, and even the school professors couldn't fix it.

But the most outrageous things are yet to come.

This Easter, Krum returned to school to help the Quidditch team train.

The team was playing 3v3, and the young wizard was itching to play a few rounds too.

Since he was the principal's friend, out of consideration for face, several players wanted to step in and help block for him, but the wizard angrily rebuked them:

"Stop with your damn pick-and-roll! I want him one-on-one!"

Dude? Are you serious? This is a matchup against Krugs!

The man who caught the Golden Snitch in the last World Cup final!

But to everyone's astonishment, the wizard really did brutally defeat Krum in the bullfight.

He even once stood in midfield and scored an incredibly long-range shot.

The Krummen were dumbfounded.

Although he plays the Seeker position, he is a professional athlete and is quite good at the Chase position... How could he be completely outplayed by a random amateur player?

Krum then recalled attending classes at Hogwarts during the Triwizard Tournament last year:

That eccentric fortune-telling teacher told him... he would never receive a crown.

Thinking about how even amateur players could beat him, Krum's mentality... collapsed.

Many female students were immediately captivated.

Not only is his playing style more elegant than Krum's, but he's also much more handsome!

Yes, this wizard looks pretty ordinary.

But Krum, at eighteen, looks almost like a man in his thirties... Without comparison, there is no harm.

After making a few inquiries, everyone learned that... he was the son of the school board member.

Wizards who can become school board members come from the wealthiest and most prestigious families.

Just now, a few witches thought this wizard was plain-looking and a bit rustic... but once he came from a wealthy family, he became so handsome!

Even the famous Starks are nothing special, right?

Many female students were jealous of the woman next to the male wizard, who seemed to be his wife.

Hermione was also helpless.

She clearly told William to find an average-looking Muggle to administer the compound decoction, so he wouldn't get hit on this time, right?

I never expected that even though he's so low-key, he could still get flirted with by female students!

William didn't care much; he really had no interest in Scandinavian girls whatsoever.

However... Durmstrang is a pretty good school.

If there were a time loop and I could leave Hogwarts... I might as well come here and study more in-depth.

At the entrance to the Great Hall, William also saw the "Wall of Death" that Dumbledore had mentioned countless times.

In the principal's words:

Years ago, after Grindelwald was expelled from school, he left the Deathly Hallows mark at Durmstrang and then went to England, where he met him.

The two hit it off immediately, sparking a special connection.

Durmstrang Castle's layout is also completely different from Hogwarts, with the Great Hall at the very bottom.

At night, all the students who did not go home for Easter gathered in the auditorium.

The lobby is built with warm-toned ochre marble, which harmonizes with the honey-colored stone ceiling.

The decorations inside the auditorium were also particularly interesting.

The tall wizard held a hammer crackling with lightning, Frigga's golden wand, and a forkbell used to ward off vampires.

The dinner party began soon after.

William sat on the main table and looked down. All the girls had short hair, and all the boys had buzz cuts.

"Those two are students of the Carol family," Sirius whispered as he introduced them.

"They have been in contact with the Carlo siblings recently."

As a pure-blooded British family, the Carroll family occasionally sends their children to Durmstrang for education.

They were all Death Eaters, so Karkaroff must have recruited them back then.

Now he's become the eyes and ears of the Carol siblings, keeping an eye on Sirius.

"Will Voldemort use these two to infiltrate Durmstrang?" Sirius Black wondered.

William shook his head.

Sirius Black clearly didn't know much about Voldemort.

Young Tom enjoys using schemes and tricks; he values ​​intelligence and uses his wits to fight.

But Voldemort wouldn't.

That's right, even when he becomes a wandering spirit, he will secretly sneak into Hogwarts and do some petty theft.

But he was powerless then. Once he regained his strength, he became more domineering and high-profile, as if he was afraid that others would not know what he wanted to do.

In other words, Voldemort disdained any schemes; he had more faith in his own immense power.

Just as William was speaking eloquently, a voice suddenly rang out throughout the Great Hall.

The voice was high-pitched, cold, and clear, and it was impossible to tell where it came from; it seemed to be emanating from the wall itself.

"I am the Dark Lord—Voldemort. I think you have all heard my name."

Screams erupted from the students, some huddled together, and looked around in terror, searching for the source of the sound.

"You are no match for me. I do not wish to kill you. I have great respect for Durmstrang's teachers."

I don't want a pure-blood wizard to bleed.

The auditorium was completely silent, a silence so oppressive it seemed the entire hall could not contain it.

"Hand over Igor Karkaroff," Voldemort's voice said.

"None of you will be hurt. Hand over Karkarov, give me this servant who betrayed me."

I will keep the school safe and sound.

I'll wait by the lake until midnight... otherwise, I'll unleash my massacre.

Silence swallowed them all up again. Everyone turned their heads, and every pair of eyes seemed to have found Karkaroff.

William shrugged... As he said, Voldemort would kill Karkaroff in a high-profile way.

After all, there was no Dumbledore to stop him here.

The more high-profile they are, the more they can deter Death Eaters.

but,

He's here!

William jumped to his feet.

His voice echoed throughout the entire campus.

"I, Grindelwald's disciple... accept your challenge, Voldemort!"

William always keeps this principle in mind: use a smaller diaper when going out.

To protect Sirius from Voldemort's threat for the time being, they first need to raise a banner and find a protective umbrella.

This is part of the plan.

Grindelwald is neither too big nor too small, which is just right for this land in Northern Europe.
