The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Whom I fight for... Whom I wave my wand for..." Tom muttered, repeating Levid's words.

Li Weide didn't say anything else, but just silently took out the floating teapot and teacup, then sat aside to drink tea.

He did not pour tea for Tom, because he knew that Tom would not be able to drink it for a while.

It was not known how long had passed, but when Levid felt his stomach was full of tea and even the Aurors had started to finish their work, Tom finally came back to his senses from his thoughts.

From the constantly fluctuating merit point balance on the system interface, it could be seen that Tom's mood might have undergone some changes that he was unaware of...

Tom turned and asked, "So... Dumbledore didn't lie to us... Is this... the magic of love?"

Levid almost spit out the tea in his mouth. Voldemort no longer studies the dark arts, but instead studies the magic he loves?

You, a noseless person, have also betrayed the revolution! ?

"Maybe so. I haven't experienced the change you just experienced, so I can't tell what changes have taken place in your heart..." Li Weide said perfunctorily.

"But... what is love? Why didn't I feel it before... even now? I just cast spells as usual, and then... the feeling suddenly became different... I even cast silent spells!" Tom frowned and said, "At that time, I felt that even without a wand, I could still cast magic! This... I don't know what that feeling is..."

"That's a very profound question, Tom... I believe everyone has a different answer to this question, because everyone desires different happiness. Even if you ask Professor Dumbledore, he can only tell you his own feelings and can't summarize them... Besides, maybe it's not that you don't feel love, but that you ignore this feeling."

Tom seemed a little disappointed when he heard this. He felt that he seemed to have grasped the trick... the trick that he most wanted to grasp when practicing spells... but now it seemed that he could no longer get that feeling back!

Seeing Tom so disappointed, Livid pondered for a moment before continuing to muddle along, "Personally, I feel that so-called love... is when you suddenly have something you care about... Of course, I mean something other than yourself. Well... and because you care about it, your thoughts will be drawn to it. You will be happy for it, and sad for it... Of course, the most important thing is that you won't let anyone hurt it... If someone wants to hurt it, then... it's time for you to pick up your wand... I think the gathering of all your emotions towards this thing is a manifestation of love."

As Li Weide spoke, Tom's eyes became brighter and brighter. "I... I seem to feel it again... that... that feeling... the feeling just now! Yes... I understand! What was it that I cared about the most just now... what was it that I least wanted to lose... family? Family affection? And then..."

Tom said this, stretching out his hand, in the palm of his hand was a dead branch he had just picked up from the ground.

But the next second, the dead branch gradually turned into an extremely delicate flower!

Flowers bloomed beautifully in Tom's palm...

However, even Li Weide, who was once a biologist, could not recognize the species of this flower.

Because this does not exist in this world originally, it was created by Tom's transformation at will!

Li Weide was very sure that before tonight, Tom's transformation would never be able to do this!

Even though his talent is several times stronger than his peers, at his age, the most he can do is turn a mouse into a goblet.

But now... he can cast spells without a wand and create a flower that doesn't exist at will!

So... you had an epiphany, too, Tom? Like Dumbledore?

Li Weide felt really numb. God have mercy on him. He really just said it casually!

In order to maintain his own personality, and just fool Tom!

Unexpectedly, Tom actually listened! And...

When will someone come along and give me this kind of epiphany?

Wait! Tom just had this epiphany about the magic of love, right? Is there something wrong?!

Li Weide quickly looked at his merit point balance, and saw that the balance was still jumping...

This time it seemed like the system needed time to settle the accounts. It was not added all at once, but was added bit by bit!

This shows how much impact this incident tonight has on Tom.

As we all know, as an important person who can have a huge impact on the future, the more Tom is affected, the greater his influence on the future will be...

Li Weide took his eyes off the balance. The system couldn't convert it for a while, and he kept staring at it. Li Weide felt his eyes were a little dizzy.

I can only secretly pray that this thing doesn't freeze... It's already a half-finished broken system, what if it breaks down again...

"Thank you, Wade..." Tom looked at the flowers in his hand and thanked Li Weide for the first time in his life.

"You're welcome..." Li Weide said weakly.

Tom looked at the flowers in his hand and seemed to be about to speak.

Li Weide jumped up immediately. "If you dare to give me that flower, I will stuff it up your nostrils right away!"

"Well...it's really weird." Tom said with a frown.

Two straight men, what’s the big deal about sending flowers?

"But, I have indeed become stronger because of your words..."

"Yeah... you have indeed become stronger, Tom... to be honest, I suddenly realized that I have the talent to be a professor... how about I apply for a teaching position after graduation?" Li Weide said helplessly.

I just casually say a few words, and then one after another... they all have sudden enlightenments or something. Is this some kind of world of cultivation? Maybe I should really be a professor or something?

If only I could have an epiphany someday...

Humph... Magic is indeed subjective!

"Wade, of course you can apply for a teaching position. I have never seen a child as talented as you to be a professor. If I were still at Hogwarts when you graduated, I would welcome you very much! How about teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts? I always feel that this position will be in short supply in the future..." Dumbledore appeared in front of the two.

According to Li Weide's understanding of this old guy, he must have been eavesdropping here for a long time!

Li Weide was frantically trying to recall whether there was anything wrong with the conversation just now, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Tom even threw the flowers into the flowerbed out of guilt...

Apparently, he felt the same way.

What he said to Li Weide just now may have directly exposed the fact that he had just used black magic!

If Dumbledore had heard...

How could he not feel guilty?

Suddenly, another voice came from the side.

"Such beautiful flowers, it's a pity to lose them like this."

Dumbledore's happy expression suddenly disappeared, because the person who came was Grindelwald...

Grindelwald waved his hand gently, and the gorgeous flower on the ground fell into his hand.

"Why are you here?" Dumbledore asked with disgust.

"If you, a professor, can come, why can't I, a senior official of the Ministry of Magic, come?"

Grindelwald lowered his head and sniffed the flower in his hand, then looked at Tom with a smile, as if he saw a dusty pearl suddenly emitting brilliance!

"If I remember correctly, you are only the director of the Education Department. The accident that happened here tonight should be handled by the Auror Office. What reason do you have to come here?" Dumbledore said dissatisfiedly.

Grindelwald conveniently pinned the flower to the upper pocket of his suit and said with a smile, "As you said, I'm the Director of the Education Department. Promoting education is my job... and right here are two junior Hogwarts students! One of them is a victim! Isn't it my normal job to care for their psychological problems? What if they're frightened and have any psychological problems? Wouldn't that affect their studies?"

Li Weide said in surprise: "Wow, it does make sense when you say that."

"Wade, don't learn bad things from him. You should stay away from him." Dumbledore said quickly.

"Learning bad habits?" Grindelwald looked at him in surprise, then took a look at his expensive suit. "I'm a senior official in the Ministry of Magic now! If he were to imitate me, how could it be considered bad habits? Wade is so talented in education, maybe he can succeed me as the Director of the Education Department in the future!"

"Really? Mr. Director? I thought you wanted him to take over something else..." Dumbledore retorted.

"I think their future achievements will definitely be higher than mine... in all aspects." Grindelwald said meaningfully.

Worried that Li Weide might learn bad habits from you? What a joke! I changed my approach, and now I'm in such a great position... I learned it all from Li Weide!

Hearing Grindelwald's words, Levitra and Tom both gasped. Old Dumbledore actually said such a thing in front of Dumbledore! Isn't this just putting the two of them on the fire?

Dumbledore hadn't mentioned the Dark Arts just now, but now that Grindelwald had said that, Dumbledore was reminded of everything!

This old man is really... bad!

"If you hadn't carried out the so-called education reform, I would be very confident that they would grow up in the future." Dumbledore was not to be outdone and retorted sarcastically.

"Education reform? What is that?" Li Weide immediately grasped the topic and started asking questions.

If we don't change the subject now, when will we?

"Oh! Speaking of educational reform! I plan to incorporate the study of the Dark Arts into the normal educational process." Grindelwald smiled. "That way, you won't have to learn the Dark Arts in secret! There will be professors to guide you, so even if you're learning dangerous Dark Arts, you don't have to worry about making mistakes..."

Li Weide and Tom were dumbfounded. Didn’t they agree not to mention the black magic?

Besides, why are you saying that we're learning the dark arts? Are you afraid that we won't be caught?

Has Old Deng become so mean and mean now?

Chapter 181 They speak sweetly and are beautiful, I love it so much!

Grindelwald left after adding fuel to the fire.

This made Li Weide wonder if this old guy came here specifically to stir up trouble!

To alienate the relationship between the two of them and Dumbledore?

Don’t tell me, it’s really possible!

What if Dumbledore is disgusted by some of their less than proper behavior and excludes them?

Then he would indeed have a chance to recruit the two of them.

After Grindelwald left, Dumbledore did not mention anything about the Dark Arts.

However, his deliberate avoidance actually suggests that he might have been secretly listening for a long time...

Otherwise, according to Dumbledore's character, he would have to give some advice and tell him not to learn bad things.

In other words, Tom's use of black magic can no longer be concealed.

However... Li Weide only came to rescue people this time and did not use any black magic.

Even if we really have to arrest someone and send him to Azkaban, it can only be Tom.

Just when Tom was worried, Dumbledore suddenly received a letter.

"Tom, great news..." Dumbledore smiled.

Tom was in a daze. What good news? Do I have any good news now?

Is there a bed available in Azkaban? Or is there a single room available?

Dumbledore had no idea what Tom was thinking. He raised the letter in his hand and said, "Your family members have all woken up. Thanks to the timely rescue, there are no sequelae."

"Is that so...that's great." Li Weide smiled.

"Professor...did they...just..." Tom stammered, not knowing what to say.

"What?" Dumbledore asked in confusion.

"What Tom means is, did Master Riddle and the others blame him for bringing the disaster back home...after all, so many people died." Li Weide said directly.

"Well...that's probably what I mean...I don't really care. Really, it's normal for them to blame me..." Tom himself didn't know what he was saying.

Some things, once you have tasted their deliciousness, it is hard to give them up again...

"So that's what you're worried about..." Dumbledore sighed, "Tom, Tom... You love your family, but doesn't that mean your family doesn't love you too? Love is always a mutual thing. If it's only one-sided, it can't be called complete love... Someone who loves you will tolerate your mistakes!"

Tom hesitated and said, "But... do they really have this kind of love for me? You know, we're not really familiar with each other. Why should I... do they?"

Dumbledore looked at Tom with delight. "What about you? Aren't you familiar with them? Yet you care so much about their safety! I think you should have experienced the power that this kind of emotion brings to you!"

Li Weide smacked his lips. Sure enough, the old man was eavesdropping just now, otherwise how would he know everything!

"But……"

"Tom, love is unreasonable... When your father pushed you away and blocked the curse for you... he never thought that this was just the first time you met!" Dumbledore's blue eyes sparkled in the moonlight.

Tom was silent, for he did not know what to say.

"Go to St. Mungo's and meet them. It's better to see what they say than to let your imagination run wild here!" said Dumbledore.

"Okay... then let's go meet him..." Tom seemed very unconfident when he said this.

If the Riddle family had any complaints against him, he could completely understand.

When that time comes, he will leave and never return to this place...

"Then you guys go. I should be leaving too." Levid picked up his suitcase. "I had planned to visit Tom first, and then go visit Mr. Scamander. Well, Nagini also wants to see an old friend. But I didn't expect... to run into this incident..."

"Wade, perhaps you should postpone your trip to visit Newt." Dumbledore smiled.

"Ah? Why?" Li Weide's liver began to tremble when he heard this.

Could it be that because of what old man Grindelwald said just now, Dumbledore grounded himself and Tom again?

"You were the one who provided emergency treatment to Tom's grandparents and father, right?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes... I did give them some necessary first aid measures..." Li Weide couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not a matter of house arrest.
