Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

At this moment, Leander silently made a summary in his heart.

His judgment of his own abilities this time was wrong, entirely because his understanding of the wizarding world mostly still relied on memories from before his transmigration.

Relatively speaking, it was still very superficial.

He previously thought this superficial understanding would be enough, which seemed too blindly confident.

This problem can be considered major or minor; right now, it's just a misjudgment of his own abilities.

If one day, he misjudged the enemy's abilities, that would be troublesome.

To sum it up, in one sentence: he hasn't read enough books.

And in this British magical world, or even the European magical world, where are the most books stored?

According to Leander's current superficial understanding, the wizarding world's library with the most books is at Hogwarts.

Therefore, Leander is now full of anticipation for the start of school.

While Leander was full of anticipation for the start of school, Dumbledore was also full of anticipation for Leander's enrollment.

In his opinion, Leander, who could reach this level through self-study, was an unpolished gem.

As a professor, how could he not be eager to discover talent?

"I once taught a student who was exceptionally talented in Transfiguration. Now, she is a Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts," Dumbledore said with a smile. "I believe she will definitely like you very much."

Leander asked in surprise, "I thought you were our Transfiguration professor?"

"I used to be," Dumbledore said. "However, after she joined Hogwarts, I switched to teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"This professor is so excellent? What's her name?" Leander asked curiously.

"Minerva McGonagall…"

"Ah?" Leander looked at Dumbledore with some surprise.

According to his memory, Professor McGonagall should only be a few years old now and couldn't possibly be a professor at Hogwarts…

However, if it's according to the worldview of the 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them' movie, Professor McGonagall is indeed already a professor.

Only now did Leander completely confirm that the world he was in was slightly different from what he had previously imagined.

"What's wrong? Have you heard of her before?" Dumbledore asked somewhat strangely.

Leander's reaction just now was indeed a bit excessive.

"Um… I saw her name in a magazine about Transfiguration…" Leander explained.

Dumbledore said happily, "It should be in the 'Transfiguration Today' magazine, right? Believe me, that's not surprising at all. However, I believe that with your abilities, it won't be long before you can publish your own Transfiguration paper in this magazine."

"You're making me blush… So, in order for that day to come sooner… Professor, can you find me some books to read?" Leander asked without blushing or panting.

"Pfft…" Tom, who was drinking water, spat it out directly.

Directly asking the professor for books to read? That's right! Why didn't I think of that?!

Getting a book list recommended by the professor, not to mention… it can also save a lot of money on buying books! I have to say, you're really cunning!

Leander glared at the out-of-control Tom.

"Cough, cough, the water was too hot, sorry…" Tom quickly tried to save face.

"Regarding Transfiguration books, I do have quite a few that I can recommend to you," Dumbledore seemed even happier when talking about books. "I can send you some when I get back."

"Well… actually, I also want to explore my talents in other areas. So…"

"Haha, of course, I also have many books on other subjects, and I can put together a reading list for you," Dumbledore said with a slightly proud expression. "It's no exaggeration to say that even Headmaster Dippet's collection at Hogwarts is not as rich as mine."

Tom next to him clenched his water glass tightly, his eyes red with jealousy.

Although it is said that good students are usually more likely to be favored by teachers, this is too much preferential treatment…

"This… wouldn't it be too inappropriate? Your time is too precious…" Leander said hesitantly.

"It's nothing, I just happen to have some free time recently. In fact, it's time for me to return to my educational work."

"Then Tom and I are very grateful to you!" Leander said excitedly.

Tom next to him was slightly stunned when he heard this. What did Leander mean by including me in his words?

Could it be that… I also get a share of those books?!

He… he doesn't plan to hog it all?!

For a moment, Tom felt a little ashamed. After all, if he were in Leander's position, he would definitely hog it all.

Hesitating even for a moment would be disrespecting knowledge!

"This is what professors should do. Especially for excellent students like you," Dumbledore said with a smile.

Tom asked uncertainly, "Pro… Professor, can I read those books too?"

"Tom, what stupid things are you asking? These books were originally sent for both of us to read together!" Leander looked at Tom as if he were an idiot.

Tom finally became convinced when he saw that Dumbledore didn't object to this statement.

Although they didn't mention me in their words just now, they never forgot about me from beginning to end…

Why do my eyes feel a little hot? Could it be…

Heh, how could I have such ridiculous emotions?!

No mistake, one first, one internal, one content, one look!

…

Dumbledore was very happy today, so much so that he only remembered the main business here when he was about to leave.

"It's not a long-term solution for you to always live in the Hog's Head Inn. Therefore, I am looking for suitable guardians for you…"

"Professor… no need to bother, we're actually not used to integrating into other people's families," Leander suddenly said.

Hearing this, Tom glanced at Leander in surprise. He didn't expect Leander to be so brave.

What about the long-term plan? He just said it directly? What if he doesn't agree, wouldn't it expose their plan in advance?

But since Leander activated the "skill", he could only follow the group.

"Yes, Professor, we're not very sociable people in the orphanage… I'm worried that our appearance will affect other people's families," Tom also had a look of unease on his face.

It has to be said that after someone's guidance, Tom's acting skills have improved recently.

Dumbledore was slightly stunned. He didn't expect these two children to worry about this issue.

"You don't need to worry. I guarantee that the guardians I find for you are very kind and very tolerant. You will definitely be well taken care of in their homes, and you don't need to feel pressured."

Leander shook his head firmly, "Professor… although I don't know why, but… we have been targeted by Grindelwald!"

"He might suddenly appear in front of us at any time!"

"I… we don't want any more accidents to happen and implicate others!"

"Thinking back to what happened that day, we're still afraid. If Mr. Corvuski's family had arrived a day earlier, they might have been killed by us!"

"So, no matter what you say, even if you expel us, we will never look for any guardians again."

After listening to Leander's words, Tom silently shouted "Beautiful!" in his heart.

They almost implicated others before, so they don't want to implicate anyone anymore! This reason is really perfect!

Leander's words simply hit Dumbledore's weakness hard!

Because it concerns the safety of others, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, Dumbledore will definitely consider it more carefully.

Sure enough, Dumbledore frowned, feeling somewhat embarrassed for a moment.

"We plan to buy a house after a while and move out of the Hog's Head Inn. Anyway, we definitely have enough money. Moreover, we have already troubled Mr. Aberforth for a long time," Leander said while the iron was hot.

"How can that be?" Dumbledore waved his hands repeatedly, "You should stay here for now, and… you're still young, how can you not have guardians? Also… although your concerns are not unreasonable, I still have a way, just a Fidelius Charm…"

Leander was numb.

No way! Dumbledore! You're really not giving us any chance!
