Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"You might think I'm being arrogant, but I'm just trying to do my job, and I hope you can actively cooperate, Professor Dumbledore," Grindelwald said calmly.

"Grindelwald…"

"Please use my title while working, Professor Dumbledore."

"Alright, of course… I will certainly cooperate with your work, Minister."

Sitting in his chair, Dumbledore leaned back and quietly looked at Grindelwald.

"Since the Minister believes that our educational policies, which have produced countless outstanding talents over the years, are too outdated, then may I ask, how do you plan to reform them?"

"You might think I have ulterior motives, but… I'm serious about this," Grindelwald said.

"I compared the list of so-called outstanding students who graduated from Hogwarts in the last twenty years, and so far, the most promising one… became the Head of the Auror Office.

But… he was kicked out after only five months because of his cowardice and incompetence."

Grindelwald flipped through the documents in front of him and then continued, "Because of this, I had to look at the information of his competitors when he took office… and then I discovered that he was able to take the position not because of his own ability, but because of his pure-blood family background.

In fact, his competitors, whether in terms of qualifications or ability, were much stronger than him.

And these competitors… all graduated from Hogwarts more than forty years ago and have more than thirty years of Auror experience…"

"What does this prove, Minister?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"This shows that the so-called education that Hogwarts prides itself on has not played its due role…" Grindelwald said bluntly.

"These outstanding wizards who manage to make a name for themselves rely on decades of experience gained after graduation… I think that if our education could do a better job, they wouldn't need to work so hard for so long.

Moreover… many people didn't survive these trials… And this is just the data from the Auror profession…"

This time, Dumbledore didn't mock him, because he had to admit that the data Grindelwald presented was very compelling.

Indeed, the Aurors who could reach that position were all outstanding individuals who had survived countless battles.

Even Newt's brother, Theseus Scamander, although very talented, still couldn't compare with these old Aurors in terms of experience.

Therefore, Theseus is still just a captain in the Auror ranks, and has not yet become the Head of the Office, because his qualifications are still a bit lacking.

"Then what do you think is the problem with our original educational policy?" Dumbledore asked.

Grindelwald replied, "First, the management is too lax.

Students don't have enough pressure! You and I both know that young wizards are impetuous.

Without enough pressure, many people won't focus on their studies.

Second, the teaching materials are too old and conservative… For example, Defense Against the Dark Arts… Students haven't even learned Dark Arts themselves, so how can they accurately defend against them?"

Dumbledore raised his hand to interrupt Grindelwald, "We can still discuss the first point, but the second point… I'm sorry, Hogwarts students don't need to learn Dark Arts!

You and I both know the dangers of Dark Arts to young wizards… They will get lost in this power and eventually fall!"

Grindelwald said excitedly, "That's exactly the meaning of our education, Dumbledore!

Do you think that if we don't teach them Dark Arts, some of them who are interested in it won't secretly learn it?

Instead of letting them learn it secretly and then succumb to the power of Dark Arts without supervision, we should teach them!

Then give them the right guidance!

When they can truly feel the danger of this power under our education, they will have awe for this power!

Dark Arts is a double-edged sword, I won't deny that, but at least we should teach them how not to hurt themselves!

And… when should they draw this sharp sword!"

Dumbledore frowned.

Although he still subconsciously felt that letting students come into contact with Dark Arts was too absurd, because he always felt that the students at Hogwarts were just children…

However, after thinking carefully about Grindelwald's words, he found that what Grindelwald said didn't seem to be unreasonable…

However, Dark Arts is still Dark Arts, and even for adult wizards, the dangers of Dark Arts are very great!

Therefore, Dumbledore still felt that Hogwarts should not teach these things!

Dumbledore took a deep breath and then said, "Minister… Although what you said is not entirely unreasonable, I still think that they are too young to be exposed to Dark Arts…"

"Then we can start with the upper grades… For example, fifth-year students.

Fifth-year students are fifteen or sixteen years old, almost adults, and it's the right time to learn Dark Arts… However, lower-grade students can't relax their studies in this area either.

They also need to be exposed to the theoretical knowledge of Dark Arts.

This way, when they are in the fifth grade, they can better accept the study of Dark Arts…"

Dumbledore asked, "Why are you so determined to have young wizards learn Dark Arts?"

"Because our current education is cultivating a group of lambs!

Now, many wizards in the wizarding world can't even use an offensive spell!

This shows that they can't even beat Muggles… Once they encounter danger, the consequences are unimaginable.

For the future of the wizarding world and their future survival, we need to cultivate a group of wolves, not a group of lambs!" Grindelwald waved his arms, his expression excited.

"Gr… Minister, may I think that you are training a wizard army?" Dumbledore asked with a grim face.

"If you have to ask it that way… yes.

It's best to have military-style management… Although in this way, their pleasant school life may not be so pleasant, but… at least I won't hear about wizards being caught, hanged, or burned to death by Muggles again…"

"Is that so?

Why do I feel that you are training an army that can go to war with Muggles?" Dumbledore said coldly.

Military-style management?

Once it's military-style management, then these students will not only have their behavior regulated, but most importantly… their thoughts will also be regulated!

As for what it will be regulated to, do you still need to ask?

Grindelwald's sinister intentions are obvious!

There are still many people who oppose Grindelwald's proposition, but under the influence of his educational policy, there will be fewer and fewer young wizards who oppose him in the future!

"Professor Dumbledore… you always have a knack… a knack for distorting all my intentions into conspiracies!" Grindelwald said coldly.

"Whether there is a conspiracy or not, you know best yourself," Dumbledore said.

"I don't object to you reforming education, but it must be based on reasonable reform… It's not like you can do whatever you want just because you became the Minister of Education, regardless of the voice of the people!

Although you can temporarily force us to implement your educational reforms now, no parent will want their children to be educated like that!

If everyone opposes you, can you still continue to be this Minister?"

"Is that so?" A dangerous light flashed in Grindelwald's eyes.

"I know what you're thinking, Minister… But from the moment you chose to embark on this path and change your past ways of doing things, you have to follow the rules like me," Dumbledore said with a smile.

Grindelwald's face changed suddenly, and his expression was uncertain.

Dumbledore continued, "In the past, no matter what bad things you did, you didn't care whether I could find out, but now, you have to care, don't you?

Now you seem to have the upper hand, but… when you chose to enter politics, you also put an invisible shackle on yourself!"

This time, Grindelwald didn't speak, because he knew that Dumbledore was right…

With Dumbledore's ability, if he wanted to investigate something, he would definitely be able to investigate it clearly.

One mistake, one first, one hair, one inside, one face, one look!

In the past, when Grindelwald was doing bad things, the reason why he wasn't afraid of Dumbledore's investigation was because he wasn't in politics, he was already black!

Everyone knew he was a bad guy, so Dumbledore's investigation of him was useless!

But now… he has been whitewashed and has embarked on the path of politics.

That is to say, if he continues to do the kidnapping and murder thing like before, Dumbledore will definitely be able to find out!

At that time, he would be caught!

Then this path of whitewashing through politics would be a complete failure!

That is to say… now he has to "follow the rules" like Dumbledore!

It was not until this moment that the complacent Grindelwald realized this… This dealt a heavy blow to him!

"I will be watching you, Grindelwald…" Dumbledore said, standing up and picking up his hat.

"Okay, I will be waiting for the Minister's reform plan at Hogwarts, and I will fully cooperate at that time… Of course, it must be on a reasonable basis…"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he left Grindelwald's office.

Grindelwald looked at the door that was closed again, his chest rising and falling…

After a long while, he slowly sat down, closed his eyes, and thought.

These days, he had indeed become a little carried away…

Causing his actions to become a lot more impetuous!

Now, it's time to calm down and reflect on it…

The path should not be wrong, but… you can't be impatient!

You have to take it step by step!
