The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

You only know how to pick on an honest person like me and bully me, right? I've never seen such a shameless person!

Just wait, when I can beat you... I will take revenge for both old and new grudges!

"You two have such a wonderful relationship..." Dumbledore sighed, thinking back to when he had a similar friendship, and they also quarreled like this back then. It was a pity that now...

Tom's face darkened as he angrily said, "Hammer's feelings! I've only known him for less than two weeks!"

"A friend in need is a friend indeed, Tom. . . . What does it matter if we've known each other only a short time? Hasn't this been a story of ours?"

"Ah! I've had enough! Professor...can you arrange for me to go somewhere else? If all else fails, you can just drop me off at another orphanage!"

……

Of course, Dumbledore would not send Tom to another orphanage.

Only Li Weide can control Tom's personality. If he were in another place, he would definitely relapse into his old ways...

Dumbledore would never sit idly by. He didn't want another person more difficult to deal with than Grindelwald to appear in the future!

A moment later, they stopped in front of a bar, and Toby followed them, carrying all the luggage using levitation.

In the wizard settlement, Toby naturally doesn't need to hide.

Levid also told Dumbledore about Toby's origins.

In response, Dumbledore said that Levid's kindness was rewarded, and after instructing Levid to treat Toby well, he didn't say anything else.

In his opinion, having an extra house-elf to take care of them was a good thing.

"The Hog's Head?" Tom struggled to read the name of the bar on the dirty, almost unrecognizable sign.

"Yes, the owner here is my brother. You will be safer here than in Godric's Hollow," said Dumbledore.

But he looked a little nervous.

"Professor, what's wrong with you?"

"Well... actually, the relationship between me and my brother is a little... delicate... Okay, come in." Dumbledore took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the bar.

This was a bar with an atmosphere comparable to the Leaky Cauldron. From Li Weide's perspective, even the clientele was similar...

"Welcome, what would you like to drink..."

Behind the bar stood a tall and thin man, wiping the wine glasses with his head down.

Levid noticed that he had the same blue eyes as Dumbledore and a small mustache above his lips.

This should be Dumbledore's younger brother, Aberforth.

At this moment, Aberforth raised his head, and when he saw that it was Dumbledore, his already stern face suddenly fell.

"So... that bastard successfully escaped from your hands again last night?"

I don't know if I can try it out, I'm nervous and anxious...

Chapter 33 The Secret in the Attic

In fact, Dumbledore's relationship with his brother was not as bad as he said.

At least, Aberforth did not refuse to let the homeless Levid and Tom stay.

In Levander's opinion, Aberforth was just a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart towards his brother.

He didn't say anything to spare his brother, but he would still do his best to complete the tasks assigned by his brother...

Li Weide and Tom stayed after all.

Aberforth gave them a room on the second floor.

Since Aberforth took in Levid, Toby is now very grateful to Aberforth.

Therefore, he volunteered to help Aberforth tend the bar.

In his opinion, as long as he puts in enough work, his master, who is temporarily living under his roof, will be able to live a better life.

Aberforth did not object to this. Having an extra house-elf to help him would make things easier for him.

As a result, his attitude towards Li Weide and others also became friendlier.

……

"Except for the attic, you can go anywhere else. If you want a drink, you can go to the cellar and get it yourself. Oh, and there are many other shops in Hogsmeade Village. If you want to buy something, you can go out and look around."

Aberforth said this, then turned and left the room with Toby, who had volunteered to work.

After Aberforth left, Levid turned around and lay on his bed. He hadn't had much rest since last night and was a little tired now.

On the other side, Tom sat on another bed, took out a spell book and read it attentively.

For him, the only way to become stronger and escape from the hands of the pervert Li Weide is to study non-stop!

"Tom, what do you think is in the attic? Why won't Mr. Aberforth let us in?"

"This is someone's home. They have their own privacy. What's so strange about that?"

"Well...oh, it's so boring, Tom, how about we go out for a walk?"

"No! Go by yourself."

Tom refused immediately. He was still studying magic last night when he was interrupted by the witch party. Now he had to make up for the progress he lost last night!

Li Weide pulled the quilt over himself and covered himself with it. "Even studying requires a certain amount of relaxation... At the very least, you need to get enough rest, otherwise you'll get half the result with twice the effort. I'd better take a nap."

"I don't mind getting half the result with twice the effort. As long as there's progress, that's all that matters. If you want to sleep, just sleep by yourself and don't disturb me," Tom said coldly.

What's wrong with being a little tired? I enjoy it!

After a while, Li Weide sat up from the bed.

"I was sleeping, but you were studying... Tom, how could you do something that affects unity? You make me feel guilty!"

"Don't worry about it. I can't sleep. What's wrong with studying? And your snoring is disturbing me!"

Li Weide narrowed his eyes slightly, "You said... you can't sleep? That won't do..."

"What...what are you going to do?" Tom immediately felt something was wrong and looked at Li Weide warily.

"Nothing, I just wanted to help you. Insomnia isn't good... fainting!"

"Vade! You're such a dog..."

Tom fell asleep before he finished scolding, and slept very soundly...

"Ahem, don't thank me, Tom."

Li Weide clapped his hands, and the quilt on Tom's bed automatically covered him.

Sharing a room with Tom, how could Li Wei De sleep if Tom couldn't sleep?

After checking Tom's sleep quality, Li Weide lay down with satisfaction and pulled his quilt over him again.

He was exhausted that night, unlike Tom, who slept as long as he had fought with the witches last night, so he is still so energetic now!

Li Weide slowly closed his eyes, drowsy and about to fall asleep.

Suddenly, a dull voice came from upstairs.

"Tuk!"

Li Weide didn't care and continued to rest with his eyes closed.

Just when he was about to fall asleep again.

"Tuk!"

The dull sound appeared again.

After this sound appeared many times in a row, Li Weide finally couldn't fall asleep.

Because although the sound was not loud, strangely, it could wake Li Weide from his sleep every time.

Li Weide stared at the ceiling in confusion. This time he did not sleep, but waited quietly for the next sound to appear.

Li Weide didn't have to wait long. About a minute later, the voice appeared again.

It's like a stick stuck in thick carpet.

"Tuk!"

Li Weide sat up from the bed. He finally understood something.

There was actually a faint magical power contained in this voice.

Moreover, this kind of magic seems to have the ability to attract the magic in other wizards, so he is constantly awakened by this sound!

Levid had seen many magical props with magical powers in Diagon Alley.

But the magical sound... he had never heard anything other than the sound of wizards chanting spells.

If this kind of sound can be magical, then anything that makes the sound can use magic as long as it makes this kind of knocking sound?

This is a good idea. If we can figure out the principle, can we create a device that can automatically cast magic without the need for a wizard to chant spells?

Just then, the voice sounded again.

This time Li Weide heard more clearly, and he keenly noticed that the magic power contained in the voice this time was much stronger than before!

Levid looked at the ceiling again. Upstairs... wasn't that the attic that Aberforth didn't allow them to go up to?

What's up there?

Li Weide's curiosity was aroused...

Logically speaking, since Aberforth said that they were not allowed to go to the attic, he should not go to the attic or even ask about it.

However, the sound was so special that it seemed to wake the wizard from his sleep.

Tom didn't wake up because he was under a stun spell... If he was sleeping normally, he would inevitably be awakened by such a sound.

So... Levid decided to ask Aberforth directly.

He was troubled by the sound, so it was reasonable for him to ask about it.

What if Aberforth was willing to tell him?

Even if you don't tell yourself, it's better than sneaking up and spying on other people's secrets without saying a word.

Li Weide listened for a while, and when he found that the magic of the voice was getting stronger and stronger, he stood up, put on his coat, and opened the door.

The Hog's Head is similar to the Leaky Cauldron and actually has guest rooms.

It's just a little smaller than the Leaky Cauldron, with only three floors, and there are a few fewer guest rooms than the Leaky Cauldron, and they are all concentrated on the second floor.

Li Weide and Tom now occupy one room, and the other rooms are empty today.

So, after Li Weide walked out of his room, he could see a somewhat narrow corridor.

There is a wall on one side of the corridor and the door to the guest room on the other.

At both ends of the corridor are stairs leading downstairs and up to the attic respectively.

Li Weide closed the door, glanced at the stairs leading upstairs, and then prepared to turn around and walk towards the stairs leading downstairs on the side.

The moment he turned around, he suddenly felt a cold breath coming from behind him.

Could it be a ghost? Li Weide wondered in his mind as he turned his head again.

"Wow……"

When he saw clearly what was opposite him, Li Weide couldn't help but widen his eyes.

On the opposite staircase leading upstairs, a strange black mist was constantly flowing down like water...

Moreover, the fog was gradually gathering together, slowly filling the entire enclosed corridor!

Chapter 34 Aurelius Dumbledore

Looking at the black fog gradually filling the corridor in front of him, Li Weide slowly retreated...

When facing a wild beast, the most taboo thing is to turn your back on it and run away.

Li Weide was worried that if he turned around and ran, the black fog would suddenly rush up!

After all, what's the difference between a madman like Mo Molan and a wild beast?
