The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Oh no... It feels like I was beaten up." Tom sat up, shook his dizzy head, and it took him a long time to recover.

"It's okay to indulge yourself occasionally. You've been self-disciplined enough before." Li Weide said, handing Tom a beef pie and a glass of pumpkin juice.

Tom didn't bother to be polite with him. He just picked up the pie and started eating it, not even bothering to wash up.

It can be seen how much of a blow Dumbledore's special training this week has caused to Tom's young mind.

"Eat quickly. After that, we'll go to Hogsmeade." Levid said with a smile.

Tom paused while chewing the pie. "Do we need to have special training tonight?"

"Not necessary today. The great Professor Dumbledore decided to give us a day off." Levid sighed and said with regret.

"You don't seem happy about getting a beating less?"

"You don't understand, Tom... Facing a strong enemy, every challenge is fun... To be honest, yesterday my fire was so blazing... It seemed to set Dumbledore's beard on fire. Did you see it?"

"No, I just saw someone being walled into the wall by Dumbledore."

"How could you not see it? I clearly burned Dumbledore's beard!" Levid said anxiously.

Tom didn't talk nonsense with Li Weide anymore. After quickly eating the pie and drinking the pumpkin juice, he finally woke up completely.

Ten minutes later, the two arrived at Hogsmeade village through the secret passage.

It is already March now and the weather has started to warm up.

The snow gradually melted, making the ground in Hogsmeade village very muddy.

Li Weide and Tom, wrapped in their school uniforms, walked carefully on the muddy road.

"Magic is so convenient, why doesn't anyone repair the roads properly?" Li Weide complained.

Tom didn't respond, but asked Levitra another question anxiously, "Did you tell me before that your Marauder's Map is now in Dumbledore's hands?"

"Yes, it's in his hands." Li Weide nodded.

Li Weide did tell Tom this after he came back that day.

Dumbledore had the Marauder's Map, which was like installing surveillance cameras in Hogwarts. That's why Lewd told Tom about it, so that he wouldn't foolishly wander into the restricted area at night.

Although Dumbledore has now relaxed his vigilance against Tom, he also tacitly allows him to learn the dark arts.

However, there is more to the Restricted Section than just dark magic... there are also many books that record banned books and are inherently dangerous.

Therefore, sneaking into the restricted book area is still an unacceptable violation of school rules.

"You knew he had the Marauder's Map, and you still dared to go to Hogsmeade with me?" Tom suddenly felt uneasy. "We don't have permission to go to Hogsmeade right now..."

Tom had no objection to breaking school rules and going to Hogsmeade, but that was based on not being discovered.

But now, the Marauder's Map is in Dumbledore's hands. If the two of them violate the school rules at this time, wouldn't that be a curse from Dumbledore?

"It's okay. Dumbledore promised me that I could come to Hogsmeade to visit a friend. You left school with me, so it's not a big problem." Levid said calmly.

Previously, Dumbledore had promised Levid that he would allow him to visit Aurelius in Hogsmeade once.

Li Weide never had time to come and take a look before.

"Don't lie to me..." Tom was scared by Li Weide.

What if Dumbledore only saw his own name on the Marauder's Map and didn't see Levitra's name next to it... wouldn't Tom have died here today?

"Actually, you don't have to be too afraid. Dumbledore isn't as stubborn as you think when it comes to these harmless little infractions. In fact, he's not afraid of us doing something bad; he's afraid we might do something bad without telling him... So, even if we came to Hogsmeade without permission, as long as we didn't do anything out of line, he wouldn't care. At most, he'd think we were just having fun."

"You really won't care?" Tom asked uncertainly.

Li Weide said: "Although this sentence may sound a bit arrogant, you and I are different from other students after all. Apart from us, who else can receive special training from Dumbledore every night? Students like us will always receive some favoritism from the professor. Special people will always get some privileges..."

Tom was thoughtful after hearing this.

After a while, the two arrived at the door of the Pig's Head Bar.

There are many senior students hanging out in Hogsmeade village on weekends.

However, not many students would stop in front of the Hog's Head Bar.

Most students, if they wanted even a couple of drinks, would choose the Three Broomsticks over the Hog's Head.

After all, the Hog's Head had a wide variety of customers...

Generally speaking, Aberforth didn't do much business with students.

After all, except for those who are about to graduate, the other kids at Hogwarts are not old enough to drink yet.

Li Wei De and Tom also lived in the Pig's Head Inn for a while, so they were familiar with the place when they returned here.

"Danglanglang!"

Tom pushed the door open, saw the person inside, turned around and wanted to run, but Li Weide blocked the door behind him...

Levid looked past Tom and saw Dumbledore standing at the bar, smiling at them.

"Tom, can you please stand up for yourself... Everyone has seen you, what's the point of running now?" Li Weide pushed Tom, who was blocking the way, into the room.

Dumbledore smiled as he looked at the reserved Tom in front of him and the shameless Levid behind him.

"Since you're here, come in."

"Levi brought me here!" Tom betrayed Livid as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Tom, you are so promising!"

Chapter 281 I remembered something happy, my little rooster laid an egg

"I did allow him to come to Hogsmeade once, to visit Aurelius," Dumbledore explained.

Tom finally relaxed after hearing this. "That's good... I'm glad you're not trying to trick me..."

Obviously, Tom was scared by Li Weide and didn't dare to believe what Li Weide said at all.

Tom felt Li Weide's sharp gaze.

"Hey, don't look at me like a traitor. I'm just telling the truth. It was you who really brought me here!" Tom said quickly.

"Okay, you're good, Tom." Li Weide grinned, revealing his white teeth.

Tom felt a sudden rush of emotion in his heart and immediately regretted it.

He knew very well how quickly Li Weide's revenge would come...

Tom turned his gaze towards Dumbledore and quickly noticed that Dumbledore's reddish-brown beard was a little burnt.

"Hey, professor, your beard... It seems that Li Weide really burned your beard yesterday! That's terrible!" Tom said quickly.

Dumbledore couldn't help but stroke his beard, a gratified smile spreading across his face. "Not bad... Wade has made great progress. Of course, Tom, you've made great progress too."

Li Weide glanced at Tom and said, "You must feel very guilty about praising me, right?"

"It's a fact, and I'm telling the truth. How can I say it's against my will?" Tom tried his best to make amends.

At this time, a man came out from behind the bar holding a large box of butterbeer.

After he put down the beer, he revealed a slightly pale and haggard face. It was Aurelius who had just recovered from illness.

"Vide, you're here." Aurelius was delighted to see Livid. "What would you and your friends like to drink? Just tell me, I'll treat you all for free."

Levid saved his and Nagini's lives.

It can be said that Aurelius is now full of gratitude to Livid, and he would not hesitate even if he asked him to die now.

"You're welcome. How's your health lately?" Li Weide said with a smile.

"Great! Better than ever! No need to worry about losing control, no need to force myself... I just feel more comfortable than ever, Vader... And all of this is thanks to you! I don't even know how to repay you!" Aurelius' eyes reddened. "So, no matter what you ask me to do from now on, I won't hesitate!"

"I'm glad you're okay. As for the reward... you've actually already paid it." Li Weide said with a smile.

"I paid?" Aurelius asked doubtfully.

Li Weide looked around the store and found that there weren't many customers. Then he leaned over and whispered, "Remember? I took Mo Mo Ran out of you... It helped me a lot."

"Uh...is that thing really that useful?" Aurelius was puzzled.

For so many years, Mo Mo Ran has been lurking in his body like a malignant tumor.

But now, Li Weide said that this thing is very useful to him?

"Professor Dumbledore also knows about it. It does serve some purposes..."

Aurelius saw Dumbledore nod, then he said again, "Well, I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble... Well, what do you want to drink? It's all free!"

"Ah... I'd like a glass of sherry at this fine time of day," Dumbledore said happily.

"Uh... I'm sorry, if it's you... you have to pay... my father emphasized that." Aurelius looked at Dumbledore apologetically.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and involuntarily scratched his slightly burnt beard.

Li Weide and Tom pretended to look away, and in order to suppress their laughter, they thought about all the tragic things that had happened in their lives.

Dumbledore is still a bit sinister and petty now. If you laugh out loud when he is embarrassed, the special training tomorrow night will definitely be very sour!

"It's okay, give me a glass of sherry, I'll pay..." Dumbledore finally calmed down.

"Okay, one gold galleon per cup." Aurelius took out a cup and placed it on the table, then opened an unopened bottle of sherry.

"One Galleon per glass?" Dumbledore's eyes twitched slightly.

"correct."

“Isn’t this a bit too expensive?”

"Uh... if I sell it to others, it's five silver Sickles per cup. If I sell it to you... it's one gold galleon per cup." Aurelius still looked at his uncle with an apologetic look.

"Puff!" Tom and Li Weide finally couldn't help it.

Dumbledore looked at them.

Li Weide said: "Sorry, I remembered something happy..."

"Me too..." Tom nodded.

Dumbledore turned to look at Aurelius again, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

"Is this also what your father ordered?"

"Yes." The honest boy Aurelius nodded.

"Ah... Aberforth... Never mind, never mind... I won't drink it. One Galleon is enough for me to buy a lot of candy."

"But... this sherry has been opened..." Aurelius looked at Dumbledore with a simple face.

"so what?"

"So... once the wine is opened, no refunds will be given," Aurelius said. "That's what my father ordered."

"Ah... so I have to buy it?" Dumbledore looked at Aurelius in shock.

"At least buy one cup... I have no choice, I just opened it because you asked for it..." Aurelius smiled.

Dumbledore gasped, "Fine... just... just one drink."

I originally thought that after my nephew got better, my relationship with my brother would get better.

But now it seems... he was overthinking...

"Puchi..." Li Weide couldn't help laughing again.

"What are you laughing at?" Dumbledore said helplessly.

"Sorry, I remembered that my little rooster laid eggs." Li Weide said.

Tom nodded and said, "Me too..."

Dumbledore reluctantly picked up the glass of ridiculously expensive sherry and took a sip carefully, then he couldn't help laughing.

"Sherry at one galleon a glass always tastes much better to me than what I usually drink."

"If it tastes good, I'll sell you the rest." Aurelius placed the opened bottle of sherry in front of Dumbledore.

"Hehehe...Okay, put the wine down." Dumbledore smiled.

"Haha, the boss is really generous!" Aberforth's sarcastic voice came from behind the door curtain.

Then, Aberforth's tall figure was seen walking out from behind the door with a bang.

Behind him, there was a reserved house-elf and a cat walking upright, holding a flower pot covered with a black cloth...
