The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

As time went by, Li Weide's mastery of alchemy became deeper and deeper.

Finally, on the eve of Christmas, Li Weide followed the blueprint and made the converter.

Li Weide observed the palm-sized ball in his hand. In order to test whether this thing was useful, he urgently needed some strong emotions.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s happy or negative, but the amount must be enough!

Thinking of this, Levid sneaked back to Hogwarts Castle from the Wizard Tower.

At this time, the castle was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of Christmas Eve.

However, Li Weide had no way to collect these emotions. After all, he couldn't just grab these happy students and extract the residue from their bodies...

Or...beat Tom up, capture him while he's full of resentment, and refine him instantly?

Li Weide just thought about it and gave up the idea.

Tom has been behaving well lately, so I feel a little reluctant to hit him now. After all, Li Weide is a good man.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Weide has no excuse to beat him!

What's more, Tom now often goes to Dumbledore to ask for advice on the magic of love.

Li Weide was a little worried that this kid would go to Dumbledore to complain...

Perhaps we could find a Dementor! That thing feeds on positive emotions, and its entire body is filled with negativity! It's the perfect experimental material!

Finally, Levid, under the Disillusionment Charm, knocked on Grindelwald's office door.

Grindelwald opened the door and was slightly stunned when he saw that there was no one there.

"It's me." Li Weide said.

Hearing Levid's voice, Grindelwald's eyes lit up slightly.

He opened the door directly and let Li Weide in.

After closing the door, Grindelwald smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. You've practiced magic quite well. Even I couldn't see through this Disillusionment Spell at first glance."

Li Weide cancelled the Disillusionment Spell on his body and said, "You're too kind. It's just average. I just practiced blindly."

Grindelwald certainly didn't take his words seriously. "Well, what do you want to talk to me about? Is your plan about to begin?"

"There's no rush for that. I can't enter until Professor Slughorn can no longer hold on," Levid replied.

"Tsk, you're really smart. Well, then, you came to see me today specially, it shouldn't be to wish me a Merry Christmas in advance, right?"

"It could also be... The most important thing is that I want to ask you for a favor." Li Weide said.

"Oh? What is it that you have to ask me for help instead of asking Dumbledore?" Grindelwald asked with interest.

"About an experiment of mine." Li Weide said vaguely.

"Interesting... What do you need?" Grindelwald immediately perked up when he heard that.

Since Li Weide came to me, it proved that the experiment he was going to do might not be very "legal".

When it comes to doing dark magic experiments in school, who else can be as professional as Grindelwald?

You know, he was expelled from Durmstrang because he made a big mistake by doing dark magic experiments.

"I need a Dementor! A living Dementor!"

"What? Dementors? That won't do!" Grindelwald flatly refused.

"Why not?" Li Weide asked.

Grindelwald said seriously, "Vade, you have to have some self-awareness! You can't practice the Patronus Charm! If a dark wizard practices the Patronus Charm by force, something terrible will happen! I don't want you to die now!"

Li Weide:?

"No...am I that evil?!" Li Weide said unconvinced.

"What do you think?" Grindelwald looked at him with a half-smile. "If it was Tom who came to me asking for a Dementor, I would definitely give it to him. He's a kind child..."

"Fuck you..." Li Weide felt insulted.

"Actually, I'm the kind one... Never mind, I can't explain this to you!" Li Weide said helplessly, "I want Dementors, not to learn the Patronus Charm. I told you, this is related to an experiment of mine."

"Well... if it's just for an experiment, then there's no problem. But, don't do anything stupid. You won't be able to learn the Patronus Charm!"

"You don't need to emphasize this again!" Li Weide said with a dark face.

"Ha! I'm just reminding you!" Grindelwald said seriously again, "If you're not using it to practice the Patronus Charm, I can give you a Dementor. There are plenty of them in Azkaban. But... you have to prove that you can control such a creature. Without the Patronus Charm, how are you going to control them? You have to give me a convincing reason."

"Get one first and I'll show you. If you think I can't control it, you can take it back." Li Weide said.

"Hmm... I guess it's impossible to take it back," Grindelwald said, stroking his chin. "If you can't control it, I'll have no choice but to destroy it."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I don't know the Patronus Charm either." Grindelwald spread his hands.

"You are quite self-aware." Li Weide sneered.

"So, I also hope that you will have some self-awareness and not try the Patronus Charm lightly."

"It's not over yet... I told you it was for an experiment!"

"Ha, young man, don't be angry. If you want Dementors, then... as you wish. I just hope you won't break your promise to me."

Chapter 220 Li Weide: I have a dream!

After leaving Grindelwald's office far enough away, Levid finally removed the Disillusionment Charm on his body in a corner.

Don't break your promise?

Bao can’t possibly go back on his word!

The one who agreed to your conditions was Tom Riddle. What does it have to do with me, Levid?

Li Weide made up his mind and turned to leave.

On the other side, Grindelwald was not idle after sending Levid away. He immediately wrote a secret letter to Anne.

Because he always felt that Li Weide was not a honest boy, so he had to have someone keep a close eye on him just in case.

As for the Dementors...is that a thing?

……

Li Weide did not return to the Wizard Tower or the Room of Requirement to study alchemy.

Instead, he went to the club activity room.

Although he doesn't take care of the club's affairs now, he still comes to visit the club occasionally.

The old members all knew Li Weide, but the new freshmen were still unfamiliar with Li Weide, the leader who was only in his second year.

As soon as Li Weide entered the club activity room, he saw a short figure fighting with someone on the duel stage.

"Snapped!"

As the red spell flashed away, Flitwick's opponent was knocked off the duel stage.

"Hey..."

The one facing off against Flitwick was a second-year club member who had been practicing dueling in the mutual aid club for at least a year, but now he was no match for Flitwick, who was only a first-year.

I have to say that Flitwick is indeed very talented.

Li Weide raised his wand lightly, and the club member who was knocked off the duel stage stopped in mid-air, then landed lightly on the ground.

"Uh... Captain, thank you." The club member found that he was not injured and hurriedly thanked Li Weide with a pale face.

"You're welcome. It seems we still need to set up some safety measures under the duel stage." Li Weide pondered.

The dueling stage is not high, and even if there are cushions around it, it is inevitable to get injured if you fall down.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

"When we're really on the battlefield, there's no cushioning to protect us. The more injuries we suffer now, the less we'll suffer later when the real thing comes!"

Li Weide turned around and saw Tom with a grim face.

"Tom, you are really strict." Li Weide said happily.

"Hey, isn't this the leader whom I haven't seen for a long time? Why are you suddenly so interested in the trivial matters of the club today?" Tom said resentfully.

Li Weide, the hands-off boss, made Tom and the new club agent Anne miserable, so when they saw Li Weide in the club, they were of course sarcastic.

"Are you the leader of the mutual aid society?" Flitwick on the stage said excitedly.

"Yes, I am." Li Weide said with a smile.

Flitwick climbed down from the high dueling platform with some difficulty.

"I really like the support group!" Flitwick ran over and said, "Oh, by the way, my name is Filius Flitwick. You can just call me Filius!"

"I'm glad you like our club," Li Weide said happily. "Of course, the smooth development of the club is also thanks to Tom and the others. Because I usually don't take charge of things..."

"So you knew that," Tom said through gritted teeth.

"Tom, I'm giving you a chance to practice!"

"Should I thank you then?"

"We are all good brothers, don't be polite. You can continue exercising! Don't care about my feelings!" Li Weide said righteously.

Tom's face turned pale.

He was clearly taking advantage of core members like Annie and me, exploiting their labor, yet he acted so generous, as if he was getting the biggest advantage...

If he could beat him, he really wanted to whip this bastard.

"Senior Tom takes good care of us new members," Flitwick said with a smile. "Also, none of the other club members look at me with any strange eyes! This is what touches me the most..."

Although Flitwick was used to other people's strange looks, it was impossible for him to say that he didn't care at all.

In order to get him admitted to school, Dumbledore spent a lot of effort to persuade the officials of the Ministry of Magic.

After all, Flitwick seemed to have a connection with goblins.

At this time, the Ministry of Magic was still very vigilant against goblins.

They didn't even want goblins to own magic wands, let alone let a wizard of goblin descent enter Hogwarts to study.

From this we can see that Flitwick himself was under tremendous pressure when he entered Hogwarts to study.

However, under such pressure, he discovered a club that could make him completely stress-free. How could he not feel happy?

"This is one of the tenets of our club, Filius." Li Weide said with a smile, "In our club, everyone is equal. As long as you join, you will be our brothers and sisters."

"I know! When Senior Tom came to recruit me into the club, I thought the purpose was just talk. Until I heard what happened in the entrance hall on the first day of school! You were willing to lead a rebellion to stand up for the club members... It was truly... so touching!" Flitwick said with a deeply moved look on his face. "From that moment on, I knew this was where I belonged!"

"This is exactly why I founded the mutual aid society... and, Filius, I have a dream that is neither big nor small." Li Weide said with a smile.

"What dream?"

"I hope that mutual aid societies don't just exist at Hogwarts. In this world, oppressed people don't just exist in Hogwarts. There are countless wizards living in dire straits. When I graduate, I hope to continue my current career and enable all oppressed brothers and sisters to overthrow the privileged class that oppresses and exploits them and obtain the rights they deserve! Let this world become a fair and just world. At that time, everyone will be equal, and there will be no more discrimination and exploitation..."

Upon hearing Levid's dream, Flitwick's eyes lit up. "What a great dream! When that time comes, I hope I can have a place in your career!"

As someone who is often looked down upon in the wizarding world, Flitwick is extremely empathetic towards those who have experienced the same thing as him.

How could he not be excited when he heard Li Weide's dream?

"So, we must study hard now, hone our skills, and work hard for the future of the wizarding world!" Li Weide said with clenched fists.

"Work hard for the future of the wizarding world!" Flitwick also waved his short hands excitedly.

Tom was dumbfounded watching from the side. He had spent a lot of effort to get Flitwick into the society and gain his trust.

But now, with just a few words, Levid had Flitwick completely trusting him...

Moreover, regarding the goal that Li Weide just mentioned...Tom felt that he had some understanding again.

This is what Li Weide has always emphasized before, to follow the people's path, right?

And now, Grindelwald seems to be walking on this path, but his path is a little different...

Hiss... Could it be that Levid was actually not sure whether the path he envisioned would work, so he designed to let Grindelwald pave the way for him?

If that were possible, he would steal Grindelwald's victory.

If this approach doesn't work, then after Grindelwald's failure, he will summarize his experience and make revisions?
