Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

After reading Ivan's letter, Jerry felt numb.

Aren't you a bookstore manager?Don't act like a dark wizard!

He is about to kill people at every turn, almost catching up with Voldemort.

Even if you are really a big shot and just want to experience life as a bookstore manager, why do you still come to consult me?

Jerry made up his mind never to have anything to do with those two people in his life.

But letters have been sent, and Jerry can't just turn a blind eye.

So the question is, how should I reply to the letter?

Just kill it?

Jerry felt that he couldn't do such a thing. After all, they were still nominally helping him.And he didn't have much faith in the manager's fighting ability.

Distinguish the relationship?

Benson always thought that the mark on the wild dog was some kind of enslavement magic. He would never leave him voluntarily until he found a way to contact the mark.Forcibly putting aside the relationship, what if the two of them find themselves dead together in despair?

Jerry didn't want to be secretly remembered all the time.

There was only one way, Jerry sighed.

Stabilize them first, give them something to do, and then let them go after you figure out a way to remove the mark.

It just so happens that Benson seemed to have said before that he has great experience in making magic props...

Jerry suddenly had an idea.

……

Diagon Alley, outside the warehouse of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

Ivan Greengrass took a deep breath and strode in.

The warehouse is filled with all kinds of books, stacked high to the ceiling.In a corner, in an open space that had obviously been cleared deliberately, there was something that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.

It was a simple wooden bed.

A strong man was sleeping soundly on the wooden bed, snoring loudly.

Sitting on the floor in front of the wooden bed was a thin young man with a pale face and fluffy blond hair.

He looked quite embarrassed, and his wizard robes, which had been washed white, were covered with patches.

He was holding a book and reading it carefully, with a calm face and a calm smile on his face.

That calm look made Ivan subconsciously dare not underestimate him.

These two people found him yesterday afternoon.

At that time, he was just getting ready to get off work. Due to the good sales of "The Three-Body Problem", he was in a very happy mood.

However, this pleasure was immediately interrupted by two uninvited guests.

One of them is tall and strong, the other is skinny. Standing together, the contrast is sharp.They are not very old, but looking at their clothes, you can tell that they are not guys worthy of being received personally.

Just as he was about to drive them away, the thin man leading the group suddenly spoke.

"You must be one of that lord's people too."

His voice was low and hoarse, but Ivan suddenly stood still when he heard the words.

He observed the surroundings vigilantly, and then shouted in a low voice: "What 'that adult'! I have no idea what you are talking about!"

"Interesting!" the man sneered, "I think that adult will be interested in your statement..."

Seeing that the other party turned around to leave without saying anything, Ivan finally couldn't stand it any longer and grabbed him.

"and many more!"

"Oh? Have you changed your mind?"

"I want to confirm first..." Ivan wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Before that, do you guys mind staying here for one night?"

The man smiled: "Of course, let me introduce myself by the way. My name is Ivan Evans, your loyal lackey."

……

After arranging the two of them into the warehouse, Ivan walked around the office, feeling nervous and excited at the same time.

Although he had done many things for Jerry before, the other party obviously did not fully trust him, and only regarded him as a link in the publishing industry and a liaison with the Greengrass family.

Now that his men suddenly find him, does it mean that he is finally willing to accept him?

Thinking of the two people who had just appeared, especially the stronger one, he couldn't help but be more in awe of Jerry.

Although it has been inferred from various clues that the young man is not willing to be Dumbledore's puppet and successor, and has already begun to form his own force.

But I didn't expect that his movements would be so fast.

The guy named Benson just now, the reverence and fear in his eyes were not just for show, and the strong one also gave him a great sense of oppression. He was obviously not a simple person.

He firmly believed that this was just the tip of the iceberg that the young man had revealed to him.

Ivan's heart began to tremble for the first time in a long time. Because he was not very talented and not very smart, he was just a little transparent when he was still in school.

No one took him seriously, and no one cared about him.

Even Severus Snape, who was often bullied, received more attention than him, and even the Dark Lord knew his name.

After the Dark Lord was defeated, he gained the favor of Dumbledore and stayed at Hogwarts to teach, becoming a well-known Potions Master.

And what about him?

He was unemployed after graduation. Because of Greengrass's last name, his family arranged for him to be the manager of Flourish and Blotts Bookstore.

He stayed in this position for a full 15 years after that. He even thought he would be like this for the rest of his life, but the young man suddenly appeared in front of him.

His talent, his ambition, his power... everything about him made Ivan tremble.

It's a pity that the family, or that guy Brewer, never believed what he said.

This is not difficult to understand.

Without seeing it with their own eyes, it would be difficult for others to imagine such a great existence.

Ivan seemed to have returned to that night many years ago.

It was at the graduation dance of Hogwarts. He was 17 years old and watched helplessly as the girl he had a crush on walked onto the dance floor with another tall and handsome boy.

Dancing gracefully, the girl smiled as brightly as a flower.

He stood in the shadows, heartbroken.

At that time, he tearfully swore that he would stand in the center of the stage next time. When that time comes, no one would dare to ignore his presence easily!

But the next 15 years of inaction almost made him forget the vow he made when he was a boy.

God favored him after all.

Change is coming, a new order is about to arise.

All those who try to confront the boy - no, that adult will be ruthlessly destroyed by him!

As the first person to take refuge in him, he will undoubtedly leave a mark in history.

Even the ancient Greengrass family will be reborn because of him!

But thinking of the two people who came to visit just now, Ivan's heart was cast into a shadow again.

If many people have already defected to that Lord, it will be difficult to determine my status...

He knows that he is not very smart and his magic talent is not high enough, so he can only rely on his previous connections to get by...

But the network of connections will only become less and less valuable as the adult's sphere of influence expands.

He has to find his own unique value.

Thinking of this, Ivan's heart moved. In his letter to Jerry, in addition to asking about Benson, at the end, he pretended not to know anything and asked tentatively:

Should we find someone to kill them both?
