"Hmm...... Well done, Mikhail. ”

It was a dimly lit room, with a very high ceiling, and only a dark void could be seen from the heights, and fine dust, floating in the air, and a low voice paused for a moment, and then sounded again

"Go back, and you, Victor—"

Ning An slowly put a note full of people's names in his hand on the wide black desk, leaned back on the back of the leather chair, and looked at the two wizards standing at the table, with their heads down and respectful faces.

"Keep watching, those who are against it, and then just like this, just report it up, you guys are doing a great job." He tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and the room was so dark that no one could even see when he put his hand on the table.

"Let Pani send you off, and I'll look for you again."

As soon as Ning An's words fell, a figure stood up in the darkness, "This way, please-", he said coldly, the two wizards nodded hurriedly, bowed deeply, followed Pani, and walked out the door.

The door opened, and a bright light shone into the corner of the room, and Parney flashed out, and the two wizards glanced back one last time, and sat behind their desks, leaving only a dark figure, bowing slightly, and walking out of the room.

"Bang," the door closed softly, and silence returned to the room.

"Hmph, I didn't expect that there are quite a few people who oppose it, did you guess it, Karkaroff?"

Ning An threw the white note in his hand back on the table, and a silverware with a long mouth immediately crawled over, picked up the note, and held it in his mouth, the bird-shaped silverware pointed mouth was already stuffed with a thick pile of papers.

There was a shaking in the darkness, and the tall and thin figure trembled twice, "The Brin family and the Grasso family have always been the senior directors of the school...... He is also a supporter of the pure-blood idea, so ......"

"So you're very unhappy with my proposal to open up Durmstrang's admissions conditions, right?"

The tall and thin figure slowly stepped forward and stood in front of the desk, his face could not be seen clearly in the dimness, only a few long handfuls of goatees, which trembled as his mouth opened and closed, "I'm sure you must have a way to solve it...... Even Mikhail? Brin, and Victor? Grasso has already obeyed, and the others ......"

"What can I do," Ning An smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's just magic, poison spells, coercion and temptation, and you should know this very well." ”

There was a burst of small laughter in the darkness, and even if you couldn't see the face clearly, you could imagine that Karkarov's forehead seemed to be oozing sweat, and he was struggling, as if his mouth was open, and as if he was silent, only a few obvious swallowing sounds came from the darkness.

"Let me go——!" A sharp voice sounded, a figure stood up from the darkness, and the sound of "click" footsteps sounded on the marble floor in a hurry, and after a while, he rushed to Ning An's desk and stood next to Karkaroff.

It was a feminine female voice, "Let me go, master, I'll go and show those guys some color, and let them know who to obey and who to listen to!" ”

"You've just come back, Samantha—" Ning An rubbed his brows, as if he couldn't do anything about this person, and pressed his hand twice and said:

"I'll let you know if I need you, don't worry."

The room was silent again, only a few short breaths, which sounded from time to time, and after a while, Ning An seemed to finish thinking, stretched his waist, and said slowly:

"Pull back the curtains, Mr. Crouch."

Near the window on the left, someone seemed to stand up, and then, a blinding light shone through the gap that gradually spread, illuminating the dark room.

It was a large and spacious room, with a smooth marble floor, and an open space in the middle, like a small square, facing the desks, and there were many chairs, some of which were empty at the moment, and some of which were occupied by people.

In the corners of the room, there are many transparent glass cabinets, which store all kinds of strange-shaped silverware, antique seals, old music boxes, and even a clear glass bottle, dripping and spinning, staring at the magic eyes of everyone in the room.

The concave and convex shape, the gray-white wall, hung some portraits of no one and the medals in the green, the moment the sunlight penetrated, it seemed to touch the sensitive nerves of some utensils, and the silver box with eight legs kicked up and down in the glass case, making a "pop" sound.

There was also a teapot with a mouth, as if it was boiling, howling "woo-woo", the sound was ugly and harsh, and the black shadows on the ceiling slid by in a fleeting way, I don't know what it was, as if it was a ghost with an unclear shape, parading and dancing.

"Well, forget it, pull it up, pull it up-" Ning An leaned back in the leather chair, stretched out his hand to block the light that was shooting at his face, and saw Barty? Crouch said again with a half-blank face:

"It's ten o'clock in the evening, hell, why is it still so bright."

With a flutter, the curtains were closed again, and the room was dark again, "Light the torch, light it." Ning An rubbed his forehead helplessly, Durmstrang's summer days were very long, but he didn't expect that there would be a polar day, it was obviously ten o'clock in the evening, but it was bright outside, just like daytime.

"The flames are blazing." As he commanded, two incantations were whispered, and the orange dusk light suddenly lit up, and the room was shrouded in a dim light, not as intense as the sun, but like a gloomy dungeon with torches.

The silverware stopped screaming, but from time to time there would be a faint black shadow sliding around the wall disgustingly, and it was so fleeting that no one could tell what it was.

The principal's office of this ancient school is probably this style, Ning An also felt uncomfortable when he first came, but now he is used to it, as for those utensils, let them go for the time being, he thought to himself, if he thinks it is not suitable, he will slowly clean it up later.

Although there are many undesirable and even creepy magic props, the decoration of the whole room is still gorgeous, all the chairs and tables are inlaid with gold corners, the legs and spans of the tables and chairs are engraved with carefully carved ornaments, and in inconspicuous places, Durmstrand's school crest is painted.

The marble fireplace and the polished floor are reflected in the dark marble tiles, and even the torches that jam the silver shelves on the walls are reflected in the ground, smooth enough that not a single hair can be seen, and on the side of the desk it is almost entirely covered by an ornate carpet with a transparent display case and several gilded mirrors.

"About the hiring of teachers for the next semester...... I'll take a look at ......"

Ning An said, stretched out his hand, and the silver bird-shaped silverware jumped over, and spit out a piece of paper from his mouth,

"Magic spell - Adrian? Schoen, Dark Arts Common Sense - Nils? Althouse...... "Ning An nodded, they were all people close to him, Adrian was Barbara's eldest son, Nils was one of the twins of the Althouse family, and his elder brother was in-

"Oh, I found it", Ning An looked down, "Linus? Althouse – Research Experiment Class, "

"But with so many teachers changing all at once, will the students adapt to it?" Ning An looked up at Karkaroff, who looked restless, listened to Ning An's question, and was stunned for a moment before reacting.

"But it doesn't matter, let's see how many more students will stay this semester." Ning An didn't wait for him to answer, he lowered his head and looked at the paper in his hand, and found his name in the "School Administration" column at the end, Principal - Ning An, School Assistant - Pani? Starr......

"Hmm...... I'm actually glad that you're willing to stay, Karkaroff-" Ning An put down the paper in his hand and handed it back to the bird-shaped silverware's mouth, swinging his ten fingers back and forth, "There is no one more suitable for a duel class professor than you, I believe in your experience in this area, no matter what kind of magic ......"

"But......" Karkaroff stretched out his hand, as if trying to grab something, "but you promised-"

"Don't worry, it's only a substitute for a year, it's very safe here, and Voldemort won't find you." When Ning An said the name, Karkaroff trembled violently, like a dehydrated washing machine, and there was a gasp in the whole room.

Ning An ignored this, he reached out and grabbed a newspaper on the table, he had already read this newspaper, and he felt a little embarrassed to pick it up at the moment, as if to ease the atmosphere, he smiled and asked:

"How? What do you think of Rita? Skeeter's report, it's okay to write, right? ”

Karkaroff looked deeply at the young man in front of him, as if he had been crushed into a large stone in his heart, as if he had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, since the night of the third project, he felt the call, the call from the Dark Lord, he panicked.

He was too scared, he knew very well that the Dark Lord had returned, and that it might not be long before the Death Eaters would reunite under the Dark Devil's mark, and Karkaroff, he knew too well, what would happen to the traitors, none of those Death Eaters did not want to end his life with his own hands.

At that time, Ning An showed his strength, he had a force that was not weak, although it was not known, but Karkaroff vaguely felt that he could rely on it, at least if he asked for something, and he could satisfy him in exchange for shelter, Karkaroff was willing to accept it.

But during this time, witnessing what they did, Karkaroff shuddered even though he was not involved, what is the difference between this and the Dark Lord.

Was it he who put Durmstrang's two school trustees, Victor of the Grasso? Grasso and Mikhail of the House of Bryn? Brynn introduced it to Ning An, and then he used the Imperius Charm to control the two people.

Crisply, without the slightest dragging of mud and water, even Karkarov was caught off guard, and from that moment on, he knew that something was beyond his expectations.

Immediately after that, Azkaban was breached, and the stupid British still counted it all on the so-called new leader of the Death Eaters, Sirius Black, who Karkaroff had seen with his own eyes the situation of Ning An in the North Sea, summoning his huge pet sea monster, the Kraken.

There are two other terrifying wizards, one of whom is an old man who summons a giant basilisk that can move on the sea, and the other is a seductive witch who can fly out of thin air without the help of a broomstick, Karkaroff only knows that his former master, the Dark Lord, can do this.

After the report of the "Daily Prophet" appeared, he found that even the reporters of the Daily Prophet were Ning An's people, and the other party's tentacles seemed to be everywhere, and he didn't know how far out of the shadows, Karkaroff wanted to escape from all this, he begged Ning An to give him a safe place to hide, but Ning An told him

"Durmstrang, that's the safest place."

He cast a lot of protective magic on this place, and discussed it with the wizards around him one by one, Karkaroff, it can be seen that they want to use this place as a base, but he has no choice but to follow Ning An's arrangement.

"How's it going, is there any news of those two people?" When Karkaroff was stunned, Ning An had already changed the topic.

"Not yet."

It was a hoarse voice, and Karkaroff knew that it must be the little man named Walter, who couldn't even tell his age, he was said to be just 17 years old, but he looked as if he was 57 years old, and it was hard to imagine how such a young wizard could survive that time in Azkaban.

He and the little wizard named Samantha, who was one of Karkaroff's most feared people, came out of Azkaban as madmen.

"Let those Death Eaters go, I think they must have done it on purpose!" A shrill female voice rang out, and Samantha again, his face full of indignation, in the light of the fire, became obscure.

"Maybe those two friends have their own plans, let's try to find them for the time being, but I don't think it's easy to find them."

"Bang bang," there was a knock on the door, and Ning An said please come in, Pani? Starr walked in from behind the door.

"Are the two already gone?" Ning An asked.

"Yes," Parney said slowly, stepping across the smooth marble glade to his desk, "having cast the Oblivion Charm to let them go. ”

"What are we going to do next?" Pani asked softly, and Karkaroff stood aside and shouted in his heart, "This is what I want to ask, what exactly do you want to do?" ”

Ning An leaned back again, as if he had found a position that made him more comfortable, and he said with a playful smile:

"Watch what happens," his fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, "Voldemort must not want others to know that he is back so quickly, especially not Dumbledore, he wants to act quietly and secretly." ”

"But now Dumbledore knows all this." Parney continued.

"Yes," Ning An withdrew his hand, hugged it on his chest, and smiled easily: "So let's watch first, maybe in a few days, there will be guests who want to visit, you pay attention, and see if there are any magic marks that come to visit at any time......"
