The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Now it was Tom's turn to sit on the bench and eat his ice cream.

After hearing what Ollivander said, he couldn't help but frown again.

"What do you mean?" asked Tom.

"What he means is that we have many similar traits," Li Weide replied.

"That's right! So, some wands are suitable for both him and you." Ollivander said with a smile.

Suddenly, Li Weide asked, "So...if I use Tom's wand, would that be suitable as well?"

"Haha, maybe it will be very suitable!" Ollivander said happily.

"No! This is my wand, don't even think about it!"

Tom quickly put the yew wand he had been holding in his hand and couldn't let go of it into his pocket.

"Don't be so stingy, Tom. If there really is an emergency and I need your wand, are you really not going to lend it to me?"

"You should give up this idea!"

Tom covered his pockets, then scooped up a large piece of ice cream with a spoon viciously, as if he was digging into Li Weide's crown.

"Haha, you two are really good friends. This reminds me of my good friends from the past..." Ollivander said with a smile.

Tom glared at Ollivander angrily. "I don't know him well."

"Mr. Ollivander is still sulking about the ice cream incident. We don't need to bother with him." Levander said with a smile.

Ollivander also remembered the important matter, "Okay... then, let's try these five first. These are the five that your friend just tried."

As he spoke, Ollivander handed a sandalwood wand to Levid.

"Buzz!"

As soon as Li Weide tightened his grip on the magic wand, a dazzling white light emerged from the wand!

"Ah! Very good! This wand suits you very well!" said Ollivander happily.

He didn't expect that Tom had such a hard time choosing a wand just now, while Levitra, who had such similar characteristics to him, succeeded on his first try.

Ollivander was planning to have a second arduous "battle".

Tom opened his mouth and stared at Li Weide's back.

How could he be chosen by the wand so quickly!

There is no harm without comparison. Thinking back to how much trouble he had taken to finally get a suitable wand... Tom felt very unhappy!

However, there was not much joy on Lewd's face. On the contrary, he was looking at the wand in his hand, as if thinking about something, which made Ollivander feel a little strange.

"...You got the most suitable wand, why don't you look excited at all?" Ollivander asked.

"Indeed... this wand looks good, but... I always feel that it is not the best one for me." Li Weide raised his head and said.

"Oh, if you say that, the wand in your hand will be unhappy. After all, it is the wand that chooses the wizard, not the wizard who chooses the wand." Ollivander's expression became a little serious.

"No offense, Mr. Ollivander. I just think... since it's the wand that chooses the wizard, shouldn't I also give other wands a chance to observe me? After all, according to what you just said, these wands are actually very suitable for me. It just depends on who can choose me, right?"

Ollivander nodded involuntarily. "Well, what you said makes sense. If that's the case, let's give it a try."

Ollivander had no objection to this. After all, the wands were out, so it would be okay to let Levid try it.

Tom couldn't help but curl his lips when he saw that Levid wanted to try other wands, and then finished the last bite of ice cream.

He felt that Li Weide was simply wasting his time...

"This wand has a black walnut body and a dragon nerve core..."

"Buzz!"

Before Ollivander finished his introduction, the black walnut wand in Levander's hand just emitted a golden light!

"Huh?" Ollivander opened his mouth wide and forgot to continue his introduction.

He had never seen anyone experience strange phenomena with two wands in a row when testing them.

You know, only when a wizard gets a new wand that suits him very well will phenomena like glowing appear...

But how could there be a second such new wand that is so perfect for a wizard?

"Hmm...it still feels a little off. Can I try the third one?" Levid returned the black walnut wand to Ollivander.

"Oh... of course, of course..." Ollivander quickly took out the third wand.

In fact, at this point, Ollivander was also curious to see if there would be any abnormality with the third wand.

As a result, Ollivander even forgot to introduce the wand.

This time, the wand did not glow.

However, the moment Li Weide picked up the wand.

"brush!"

A wand box that the wand tip was facing turned into a squeaking little white mouse!

"Oh! Merlin! This wand is actually more suitable for you than the previous two!" Ollivander exclaimed.

It was not until this time that he realized that what Levid had said just now, that neither of the two wands was the most suitable for him, was not an exaggeration.

"It's still almost there..." Levid returned the waxy yellow wand.

At this point, Ollivander no longer had any objections, but continued to hand over another wand...

Sure enough, the visions continued to occur.

Sometimes it glowed, sometimes it deformed objects, sometimes it caused a thick fog to form in the room for no apparent reason, sometimes it made things in the store float up automatically, and sometimes even Li Weide himself floated up...

All this happened so strangely and contrary to common sense that Ollivander was unable to recover for a long time.

Tom had been sitting in the back watching. Seeing the series of actions that Livid had made, he suddenly felt that the yew wand in his pocket was not so good anymore...

I don't know how long it took, but a pile of wands had piled up on Ollivander's counter.

The flashing lights made passers-by outside think that there was thunder in Ollivander's shop...

After a while, Li Weide held a reddish-brown wand and asked with interest: "What material is this wand made of?"

"Oh... this one has a beechwood shaft and a dragon's nerve at the core. It's twelve and a third inches long and very soft..."

Suddenly, Ollivander paused, because he was shocked to find that the wand in Levid's hand did not have any unusual phenomenon!

Li Weide took the magic wand and tapped the little white mouse that he had accidentally created.

"Whoosh!"

The mouse instantly transformed back into the wand box.

"This... How is this possible? This wand clearly doesn't show any special signs in your hand, but... but it seems to be more compatible with you... No! It should be said that it is the most compatible with you so far!"

Ollivander only felt that his previous cognition was distorted...

"That's because it's a little shy... I can feel it." Levid handed over the beech wand, "I want this one."

"Ah... of course, of course..." Ollivander seemed a little absent-minded.

"I'm sorry for making such a mess here," said Li Weide.

"Oh, that's okay...it's okay..." Ollivander finally came back to his senses at this time.

Tom suddenly asked, "Hey, didn't you just say that the wand chooses the wizard? Why does it look like he's choosing the wand now?"

"...Alas, it seems that my understanding of wandlore is not as thorough as I thought..." Ollivander sighed.

"The wand chooses the wizard..." Ollivander glanced at Levid and continued, "The wizard also chooses the wand... Merlin, I have never seen this happen before!"

Chapter 20 Why buy a book? Can’t you just memorize it?

Levid and Tom spent a lot of time in the wand shop.

Because of Levander's performance, he gave Ollivander some inspiration that only he could understand.

He didn't even take money from Tom and Li Weide...

Standing at the door of the wand shop, a trace of confusion flashed in Tom's eyes.

"What's going on? Now that I have money, I can't spend it?"

"If you want to spend money...you can buy the items on my list for me..." Li Weide happily handed over his list.

"Buy your own things!" said Tom, and he turned and walked away quickly, as if there was something dirty chasing him.

Li Weide shook his head helplessly. Now that the child has money, he will become more independent.

After sighing for a while, he followed his shopping list and strolled around Diagon Alley step by step.

It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it's getting late. They have to get back to the Wu Orphanage before dark.

Li Weide was very fast. Not long after, he arrived at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore carrying a lot of bags.

This is his last shopping stop today, and also the one he is most looking forward to.

Of course...it's also the stop Tom is most looking forward to.

Li Weide had already seen him. Tom was currently reading various spell books with great interest.

However, he did not go up to disturb Tom, as he had his own things to do.

I looked at the time and it felt like it was still early.

Li Weide handed the list of textbooks to the clerk and asked him to help him bring over all the textbooks he needed to buy.

The clerk went to help Li Weide get the book with ease.

Li Weide walked into the towering bookshelves alone. After searching for a while, he took out a book and started reading it.

……

"We should go!"

Li Weide only felt someone patting his shoulder. He turned his head and saw Tom.

At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the door of the bookstore, and it was already very late.

Li Weide turned around and quickly flipped through the last few pages of the book in his hand, then went to the counter with Tom.

Their teaching materials have been packed and placed there.

Next to Tom's textbooks, there was a pile of books. I guess these were the other books he wanted to buy.

Tom frowned as he looked at the pile of books and the large and small bags, feeling a little troubled.

"Could you please help me send these books to us?" Li Weide asked politely. "There are too many. We can't move them."

"Of course. Please write down your address." The clerk handed over a pen and paper with a smile.

"Can you send these for us together?" Li Weide brought the other things to the clerk.

"Yes, but since the books are not from our store, we will charge a handling fee."

"No problem." Li Weide agreed readily. He didn't care about this small amount of money.

After writing the address, the two walked out of Blooms and Blotts empty-handed.

Except for their respective wands, they chose to ship everything they bought today.

"You didn't buy any other books?" Tom looked at Li Weide puzzled.

He just noticed that Li Weide did not buy any books except the textbooks required by the school.

Tom knew Li Weide very well. This guy, like himself, was extremely eager for power.

How could he possibly give up buying a spellbook to increase his power?

"I bought a lot of magic automatic sketch pens. And a lot of parchment." Li Weide said happily.

"What did you buy those things for?" Tom asked in confusion.

Li Weide asked in surprise, "I've memorized all the books I'm interested in. I can just write them down when I get home. Why should I buy them?"

"Tsk..." Tom didn't believe even a single punctuation mark in Li Weide's boasting.

Tom didn't know that Li Weide was not bragging, because he really had a photographic memory...

Li Weide looked at the clock in the roadside shop and suddenly sighed, "Instead of dwelling on this, you should think about how to explain it to Mrs. Cole later. We've been missing for a full twelve hours..."
