Chapter 216 Grindelwald Takes Office

After Grindelwald appeared, students and professors looked at him.

Those who were unfamiliar with the name were surprised by the way he appeared, while those who were familiar with the name were filled with shock and confusion.

"Gellert Grindelwald, why are you here?"

Professor McGonagall directly drew out her wand:

"You should now..."

"What should we do? Should we stay in Nurmengard until we die?"

Grindelwald turned around with a smile, looked at Professor McGonagall pointing at his wand, and shook his head slightly:

"Obviously, this is why your new headmaster bailed me out and hired me as a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Simply pointing a wand at someone will not have any deterrent effect..."

Grindelwald walked directly to the teacher's desk and sat down in his own seat:

"Professor McGonagall, if your students can only deal with those vicious dark wizards like this, I'm afraid one day you will only see their cold corpses."

Professor McGonagall was choked with anger, but then she heard Grindelwald say:

"Check that parchment carefully. I was really hired by your new professor. If you have any questions, go to him."

Professor McGonagall was silent. The parchment did say that Grindelwald was the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, so she just suspected that she had read it wrong.

They originally thought that Adam would be more reliable than Dumbledore, but who would have thought that after more than a month of being reliable, Adam would give them such a big surprise without saying a word!

The end of the freshman dinner was obviously a bit strange, but most students didn't actually know what happened. The name Grindelwald was too far away for them, and not everyone would listen carefully to the boring history of magic class.

In contrast, the extraordinarily sumptuous freshman dinner was the focus of students' attention.

"Do you know? This is a delicacy made by our Hufflepuff seniors!"

A Hufflepuff said to the new students with great honor:

"This senior has applied for early graduation. The Storm Restaurant and Fantasy Dessert Workshop in Hogsmeade Village are his properties!"

Adam's early graduation was not widely publicized, but it was announced on the bulletin board, and his transcripts with all O's in the previous five years were also attached.

The students were all very full, but the professors were all unsatisfied, especially the four deans who knew the identity of the new president.

After the dinner, the prefects were asked to take the freshmen to the common room, and the four deans rushed to the principal's office together.

"The principal is waiting for you."

Since Adam became the headmaster, the gargoyle has been replaced by a portrait - a portrait that seems to be Anubis who is judging souls.

After Anubis in the portrait finished speaking, he made way for the four of them.

"Adam!"

Entering the principal's office, Professor McGonagall was the first to speak,

"How could you allow such a dangerous criminal to be a professor to your students?"

"Everyone, calm down and listen to my explanation."

Adam raised his hand and pressed it, signaling the professors to calm down:

"Grindelwald is indeed the most suitable candidate at this time - first of all, with the current situation, it is very difficult for Hogwarts to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor with sufficient strength."

After finishing speaking, Adam looked at Professor Snape and said:

"I know Professor Snape has always been interested in this position, but I'm afraid you don't have the ability to deal with the curse that comes with this position, right? I don't want Hogwarts to lose its youngest potions teacher for one year of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor Master - but Grindelwald can."

"You can definitely ask him to change his name!"

Professor Snape seemed to be convinced, but he still spoke and asked another question:

"Grindelwald has not appeared in front of the public for more than half a century. I even doubt that anyone in the UK can recognize him now, as long as he changes his name..."

"Why do you want to change the name? Can't you get the name Grindelwald?"

Adam spread his hands:

"Grindelwald, who once started wars around the world and led the Wiccan Party to fight against the Ministry of Magic around the world, is there anyone in the world who understands Defense Against the Dark Arts better than him?"

Professor Snape's eye twitched sharply.

That is true, but the problem is that it is difficult for anyone in the world to understand black magic better than him!

"Even Grindelwald is peacefully working as a professor at Hogwarts, doesn't it prove the safety of Hogwarts even more?"

Without waiting for Professor Snape to refute, Adam continued:

"Other than that, there are other subjects, but in terms of Defense Against the Dark Arts, you all know the current situation, and you have also seen the newspapers during this period... What students need now is not how to cope with exams, but practical An effective way to resist the cruel dark wizard!"

"In this regard, Hogwarts has not done very well in the past few years...so what I need is a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who can quickly teach students how to fight in practice."

Recalling the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors from previous years, the deans looked at each other for a while and had to admit that what Adam said made sense.

"I promised that they would be absolutely safe in Hogwarts, but I cannot still protect them after they leave Hogwarts. For their safety, I think hiring Grindelwald is necessary."

"Don't worry about the Ministry of Magic. If parents have any doubts, I believe they will make the right choice after seeing the current situation in the wizarding world. As for Grindelwald himself..."

Adam smiled at the four people:

"Don't worry, professors. I'm here, and Professor Dumbledore is here. Can't the two of us keep an eye on Grindelwald?"

Adam used his own name and Professor Dumbledore's name (Professor Dumbledore:?) to vouch for Grindelwald, and the four professors finally reluctantly recognized the existence of Professor Grindelwald.

Adam was not afraid that Professor Snape and others would go to Professor Dumbledore for verification. He and Professor Dumbledore still had this tacit understanding.

I didn't know what happened after the dinner yesterday, but Harry and Ron, who were popularized by Hermione about Grindelwald's life in the common room, looked at the schedule, especially the first Defense Against the Dark Arts class today, and swallowed their saliva.

How to say it, looking at what is written in the history of magic, Grindelwald and Voldemort are not much different.

"Didn't the new headmaster say he would protect us? He won't let him do whatever he wants, right?"

Ron twisted his body, feeling uneasy.

Harry quickly adjusted his mentality:

"I believe in the new headmaster, and no matter what kind of person Grindelwald is, he won't be worse than Umbridge."

Ron: ...That's true.

"Good morning, everyone~"

Grindelwald stepped into the classroom almost on time:

"This is my first class for you. Let me introduce myself again: I, Gellert Grindelwald, a revolutionary, a dark wizard - until Dumbledore defeated me. After that, I was a prisoner for decades, until now - as you can see, I have become your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

Looking at the students below who were shocked by his self-introduction, Grindelwald smiled slightly:

"I will not hide my past failures. On the contrary, I am proud of it. At least I have fought for my ideals with all my strength, and - to borrow someone's words, let the whole world dance for me."
