The Strongest Dark Lord

What's the most annoying thing about Hogwarts?

It's undoubtedly those stairs that change positions at any time along with the intricate corridors.

Every year, new students arrive late to classes because they get lost and Lucas didn't want this to happen to him.

"Yesterday I consulted with the second-year leader, Eli McMillan."

"After breakfast, there is still one hour before the morning's Transfiguration class. Mr. McMillan will send someone to guide us to familiarize ourselves with the routes leading to each classroom."

"I don't want people to lose points because they couldn't find their way just after school starts. Do you understand?"

"Yes, leader!"

Hearing everyone answer in unison Lucas nodded in satisfaction, signaling for those who were not full to eat more.

Not far away at the long table of Ravenclaw, Hermione looked at Lucas who seemed to be radiating light all over, feeling a little depressed.

She thought that Lucas was too outstanding. No matter where he goes, he will get people's attention.

But what about herself?

Aside from her learning ability which is pretty good. It seems that there isn't any other advantage.

And there are many shortcomings, such as the bushy hair and rabbit teeth, not to mention her difficulty socializing.

The young witch suddenly realized the troubles other than studying.

Cho looked at the friend she met only yesterday and smiled knowingly seeing who she was looking at. She turned to look at the Slytherin table.

Looking at that junior curiously, what kind of magical power does he have, so that the little witch who has only known him for a day is troubled by him.

Also watching Lucas was Dumbledore from the teacher's seat.

Although he was prepared in his heart, but seeing the respectful attitude of the Slytherin students towards Lucas his heart was filled with worry.

"Minerva, I remember the Slytherin children have your Transfiguration class this morning, right?"

"Yes, Headmaster."

"Then please help me send a message to Mr. Grindelwald, ask him to come to my office after class, and say that I want to talk to him."

Professor McGonagall nodded, her expression turning serious.

When he was talking, he didn't lower his voice so the other professors also heard it.

After hearing this, Snape also looked at the blond boy on the long table.

Can't wait to see through the other party now.

Noticing the attention of everyone in the teacher's table, Lucas decided to just ignore it.

According to the thinking of ordinary people.

With his status, he should try to keep a low profile when he comes to Hogwarts to avoid making Dumbledore suspicious.

Originally Lucas thought so too.

He even recalled the web articles he read in his previous life in his mind in hope to learn from the experience of his predecessors.

But later found out that what he did seemed superfluous, even a little silly.

Just for his last name, even if Lucas came to Hogwarts to clean the toilets Dumbledore would have still suspected he had ulterior motives.

That being the case. Why keep a low profile?

Better to just show himself in a high-profile manner and attract more people's attention, maybe someone will be willing to follow him.

Be it Grindelwald or Voldemort, they did it this way at the beginning, recruiting people right from school.

After finishing breakfast, Lucas asked Draco to leave first with the rest.

He came to the Ravenclaw table under the eyes of everyone.

Looking at the little witch who bowed her head silently.

Lucas teased and said, "Miss Hermione seems to have something on her mind. Did someone offend you? Tell me the name, your knight is willing to help you out."

"No, nothing!"

Hermione replied in a low voice, then ran out with her head down.

Lucas frowned slightly, wondering what was wrong with her for a while.

On the other hand, Cho Chang smiled and said, "Brave knight, what if it was you who offended Her Highness the Princess?"

"Me?"

Lucas sighed in his heart, the girl's mind is really hard to guess.

Although he didn't understand the specific reason, he still thanked Cho.

Not forgetting to praise her beauty before leaving.

...

When Lucas came to the transfiguration class classroom the little snakes of Slytherin had arrived before him and were already waiting for the teacher.

Seeing that no one was absent, he showed a satisfied expression.

Walking to the front row he saw the tabby cat sitting on top of the desk and bowed slightly saying hello to the other party.

Others may not know, but he knew that this was not a tabby cat at all but Professor McGonagall in her animagus form.

The so-called animagus is an extremely difficult transfiguration which can turn the human body into some kind of animal and retain their human mind.

Certainly, strong magic often comes with high risks.

Without an outstanding talent in transfiguration it is basically impossible to become an animagus unless you have help.

Lucas has always wanted to try but has never been successful, and even encountered danger a few times.

Fortunately, Vinda Rosier, a powerful witch, saved the day.

'When I get a chance, I must ask Professor McGonagall for advice.'

Lucas thought in his seat.

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps coming from outside the classroom door.

It was Harry Potter and his friend Ronald Weasley, who were late to class.

"Hey, I'm not mistaken, we're not late, you see Professor McGonagall isn't here yet."

Ron gasped and said to Harry beside him.

The voice just fell and the tabby cat on the table jumped down.

In the blink of an eye, it became Professor McGonagall.

Under the stunned expression of everyone, Professor McGonagall walked up to the two of them.

"That was wicked!."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Weasley," McGonagall replied gravely.

"Maybe I should turn Mr. Potter and you into a pocket watch, maybe that way you wouldn't be late to class."

Harry said shyly, "I'm sorry Professor, we got lost."

"Oh, then maybe a map, hurry and go to your seats, the next time I will be taking points."

Compared with the Slytherins who just came together, Professor McGonagall's tone became visibly annoyed seeing her own lions arriving late.

She turned back to Lucas' side.

"Mr. Grindelwald, Headmaster Dumbledore asked me to convey that he would like to invite you to his office today after class."

"The Headmaster's office is on the seventh floor of the castle behind the stone gargoyle. The password is lemon sherbet."

Lucas smiled: "Thank you Professor McGonagall, I will go right after the class ends."

His polite behavior earned him a smile from McGonagall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please open your textbooks, let's start class!"
