The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

He just felt it was unbelievable that Slytherin, one of the four giants, actually left a mysterious creature in the school, intending to harm the students in the castle!

However, there were also many manuscripts left by Slytherin in the restricted area, so Headmaster Dippet could easily recognize that this was indeed Slytherin's handwriting.

While Principal Dippet was surprised, the portraits of past principals on the wall woke up from their pretend sleep and started talking at once.

"I've said it before! Muggle-born students cannot be admitted! This is ruining the reputation of Hogwarts! I fully support Slytherin on this point! Only pure-bloods are..."

"Shut up, Phineas!"

"What? You still want to fight, Dexter?"

"Just hit us!"

Then a principal from the portrait frame next to him rushed into Phineas's portrait frame, and the two of them started fighting...

"Stop! Stop making so much noise!" A stern female principal stopped them.

The two people who had stopped fighting were quickly pulled apart by other principals.

"Thank you, Dai Lisi. And everyone, please keep quiet." Principal Dippet said to the portraits on the wall.

Except for Phineas who was still groaning, the other principals remained silent.

Headmaster Dippet looked at Dumbledore, "Albus, what do you think?"

Dumbledore put down the cup in his hand. "First, Grindelwald must not know about this. Second... we should go to that place and take a good look, and then find out where the creature is. Finally, we must find a way to eliminate this threat. We cannot let a threat always exist in the school."

"Well... let's do it then." Principal Dippet looked at Levid and Tom with a smile. "It seems you've indeed performed a meritorious service tonight. However, you've also violated many school rules. Furthermore, if I rashly give you too many points, I'm afraid it might arouse Grindelwald's suspicion. After all, he's met you before. So... how about neither adding nor deducting points?"

"No problem, Mr. Principal!"

"Okay, let's go."

……

When Li Weide and Tom took the two old men and started again from the trial level and finally arrived in front of the study, four knight puppets suddenly appeared!

I think this corridor can identify how many people are participating in the trial, and then send out the corresponding number of combat puppets.

After Levid's special greeting, Principal Dippet did not smash the heads of the four knight puppets.

Then Li Weide happily picked up the four complete cores.

Principal Dippet and Dumbledore did not stop him. After checking the cores, they let Levid take them away.

Just consider it as a small compensation for not being able to give them extra points.

By the time the four of them entered the last small room, the black door had closed again.

In other words, if you want to open it, you have to use the Cruciatus Curse...

Just when Tom was trembling, Principal Dippet just looked at the door, and then after performing a series of operations that neither Livid nor Tom could understand, the door was opened smoothly.

"Principal Dippet has removed the magic above. This way, you won't need to use the Cruciatus Curse when you come in from here next time." Dumbledore explained from the side.

"Wow! Such a powerful magic, and the principal was able to break it so easily? So amazing!" Li Weide said in surprise.

"Of course! Although I am old now and can no longer wave my wand, my knowledge has not faded with age like my physical strength." Principal Dippet said happily.

Obviously, Li Weide's casual compliment made him very happy.

Otherwise, why do people say that the old man’s personality is actually similar to that of a child?

After the door opened, the four of them officially entered Slytherin's study.

Afterwards, when they realized that the exit was right at the door of the Slytherin common room, Levitra and Tom were sent back to sleep.

Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet began flipping through books in Slytherin's study.

In the second half of the night, Tom tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. Finally, he sat up and looked at Li Weide who was lying in the bed next to him.

At this time, Levid was lighting his wand and reading a scroll given by Dumbledore with great interest.

"I just thought of a question." In order not to wake up the others in the dormitory, Tom asked using a whispering spell.

"What's the problem?" Li Weide asked casually.

"Do you know Principal Dippet's method to unlock the magic of the gate?" Tom asked.

"Which magic?"

"It's to break the spell that requires the Cruciatus Curse to open the door!"

"Oh, that, I don't know how. But... I have other ways to solve it." Li Weide said casually.

Li Weide is confident that he can solve it with the help of ancient magic.

Then, Li Weide felt a strong resentment coming from the side, like that of an old ghost who had died unjustly ten years ago.

"So... you could actually have solved it... but you still used the Cruciatus Curse on me!" Tom said gloomily.

"Can you blame me for this?" Livid closed the scroll. "Didn't I tell you at the time that I asked you to use the Cruciatus Curse on me?"

"Yes……"

"But you don't want to, and you insist on bearing it all by yourself! You won't listen to anything I say, right?"

"Okay...it seems like..."

"That's it! You've asked me so sincerely, so as your good friend, how can I not agree to your request?"

"But, you were able to undo that spell, and I wouldn't have had to take a Cruciatus Curse. Why couldn't you have told me in advance?"

"Tom! In order to fulfill your request, I risked my soul being tainted by black magic and resolutely used the Cruciatus Curse! You actually say this to me now, it really makes me feel cold! I don't want to talk to you anymore." After Li Weide finished speaking, he threw the scroll in his hand over and directly pulled up the quilt and lay down.

"Revenge! This is your revenge for me almost putting a blasting curse on you!"

Tom glared at Li Weide with gritted teeth, wanting to fight, but knowing he couldn't win...

Seeing that Levid still did not respond to him, Tom had to suppress his anger, picked up the scroll that Levid had just thrown to him, lit the fluorescent spell and started reading.

"Gublay Fairy Fire!? When did Dumbledore give you this? How come I didn't know about it?"

But Li Weide seemed to be fast asleep and didn't say anything.

Well, at least there is still the Gublai Fairy Fire that I can learn!

Not too bad...right?

……

Early the next morning, Levid and Tom went to the principal's office together, took the skeleton of Nocto Gaunt that was left in the principal's office last night, and walked into the Forbidden Forest.

Because this time it was specially authorized by Principal Dippet, they didn't have to do it secretly.

After walking for a while, Li Weide stopped on a small hill.

Although it is in the Forbidden Forest, this hill allows you to see Hogwarts Castle not far away.

"Let's go here. The feng shui here is good." Li Weide said pretentiously, pinching his fingers.

"Feng Shui? What's that?"

"Don't ask too much about Eastern magic." Li Weide said, picked up his wand, and started moving the soil on the ground to dig the grave.

Tom looked up at Hogwarts in the distance and thought it was a nice place, so he didn't say anything more and started joining the grave digging.

After a while, a beautiful grave appeared on the hillside.

There was also a stone tombstone standing on the grave, which was cut off by Tom using the Sharp Edge Shadow Curse.

"What should the epitaph say?" asked Tom.

"This is your ancestor's work, it's your turn to write about it," Li Weide said.

Tom stroked his chin and frowned as he thought for a long time before he carved a line of words on the blank space behind the tombstone with the Cutting Spell.

[Sleeping here is the most innocent and kind-hearted man in the world, Gunter.]

Chapter 219 Grindelwald: Wade, don't do anything stupid! You can't learn the Patronus Charm!

Another week passed after the discovery of Slytherin's study.

Both Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet chose to keep the matter of the Slytherin study secret.

They have been secretly reviewing Slytherin's information in Slytherin's study, hoping to find key information about the mysterious creature.

Li Weide did not remind them of this. They would find it sooner or later anyway, so there was no need for him to do anything unnecessary.

Meanwhile, Grindelwald wasn't idle either. It wasn't long before he began suggesting to Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet that the young wizards weren't receiving proper guidance, which was detrimental to their future development. Therefore, he hoped to serve as a mentor and correct the young wizards' erroneous thinking...

Dumbledore would have to be crazy to agree to his suggestion, and sure enough, Grindelwald's suggestion was rejected.

Grindelwald also pretended to be dissatisfied and took the opportunity to propose adding a new ideological and moral education class.

Sure enough, the next day, Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet agreed, but the professors had to be appointed and dismissed by Headmaster Dippet himself.

Principal Dippet emphasized that this was an internal school matter and asked Grindelwald not to get involved.

Grindelwald also planned to use his position as director to exert pressure.

But after hearing the news, parents sent letters to the Ministry of Magic to express their opposition!

After all, everyone knows what kind of person Grindelwald is, and no one wants such a person to teach their children's "thoughts"!

In the end, under the influence of public opinion, Grindelwald finally "helplessly" accepted the result.

So, after some discussion, Professor Slughorn, who was worried about Levid's safety, took the initiative to take on the position of professor.

So far, everything has developed as Levid had promised Grindelwald.

This made Tom, who witnessed all these changes with his own eyes, feel deeply moved again.

Sometimes, he really wanted to dig open Li Weide's skull and study his brain carefully to see how it was built! (And then use his skull as a bowl!)

There is no harm without comparison.

Compared to Li Weide, the other second-year wizards were like a group of little trolls who hadn't grown up yet...

The turmoil outside did not have much impact on Li Weide himself.

Even though it was a newly established ideology and morality class, Li Weide was not in a hurry to intervene.

It's best to wait on this matter.

The best effect would be achieved only if Levid could wait until Professor Slughorn became extremely annoyed before helping him.

At that time, Professor Slughorn would probably be very happy to hand over all this trouble to Levid.

During this period, Li Weide was not idle. What he mainly did was to study alchemy and then study the two drawings given to him by his senior.

After having Toby help him purchase all the materials and place them in the wizard tower.

It was there that Li Weide began to experiment with alchemy.

The alchemical collar that can control magical animals is not difficult to make. After spending some effort, Li Weide successfully made a sample.

The other converter is much more complicated.

Li Weide spent several days before he had a rough idea of ​​its operating principle.

There is no doubt that alchemy is the most complex and difficult subject of all the subjects that Li Weide has come into contact with.

It's not just because the books on alchemy in the library contain knowledge that is a bit outdated.

Moreover, this is a technical subject that cannot be learned just by having a strong memory.

For this reason, Li Weide had to consult Professor Dumbledore frequently.

There's nothing I can do about it. Ever since I outsourced a lot of my research work to my senior, she's had less and less free time to communicate with me. Lately, we've even been communicating directly via messages...

Therefore, it is currently not possible to get more guidance from her.

In addition to being a master of Transfiguration, Dumbledore is also a very good master of alchemy.

Although his skills are not as advanced as Nicolas Flamel's, they are still sufficient to guide Levid.

When Li Weide couldn't find a senior student, asking him for advice was a very good choice.

Dumbledore naturally would not refuse Levid's request for advice.

In fact, although he believed in Li Weide, he still hoped that he would not put too much energy on black magic. Therefore, when he saw Li Weide turn to study alchemy, he was still very happy.

To this end, he even took out the manuscript given to him by a good friend and let Li Weide study it.

This manuscript, suspected to be from Nicolas Flamel, was much better than the outdated alchemy books in the library, and benefited Livid greatly.
