The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

According to Grindelwald's original character, he would definitely start educational reform directly at Hogwarts.

Students' challenge training will also be forced to be included in their daily learning subjects.

But now... Grindelwald secretly included this challenge training in the final exam!

In this way, the general public and parents of students will not understand the reason and will just think that it is just an extra exam, so they will naturally not oppose it strongly.

But when did Grindelwald's methods become so gentle?

"It seems his determination is even stronger than I imagined," Levid sighed. "Even if it takes more time, he'll use gentle means that won't offend anyone... It seems Grindelwald really wants to improve."

"Isn't this the trick you taught him?" Tom couldn't help saying.

"I didn't teach him that. I just showed him a path... Now it seems that Grindelwald is even more terrifying... Tom, do you know when the beast is most terrifying?"

"When?" asked Tom.

Li Weide smiled and said, "That's when they know how to hide their claws..."

Tom was slightly startled when he heard this, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Li Weide did not seem to be clicking on him intentionally.

"That exam...are you going to take it?" Tom asked.

"I designed all the exam levels. What's the point of me participating?" Li Weide looked at the snake egg again. "By the way, how are their strengths now?"

Tom naturally knew who Livid was asking about, and immediately replied, "According to your request, club members should come to train combat skills whenever they have free time... By the way, among the freshmen, the most outstanding ones are undoubtedly Filius and Alastor. Anne was almost defeated by Filius because of her carelessness."

"Very good, this way, everyone doesn't have to worry about Grindelwald's exam. As for you... Tom, I hope you can take part in the seventh grade level trial." Li Wei De said.

"Seventh grade?" Tom was surprised. "That's the most difficult one... and I'm only in second grade!"

"Tom... do you think it's appropriate for you to participate in the second-grade trial now?" Li Weide smiled and looked at him quietly.

Tom seemed a little anxious under Li Weide's gaze that seemed to see through his heart.

"It's indeed not suitable...Okay, I'll go participate in the seventh grade trial..."

"Very good, I will explain it to the professors, and you can just go there when the time comes."

Li Weide turned around again and looked at the snake egg.

Tom's mood changed from relaxed to nervous.

Even for him, the seventh grade trial had to be extremely alert.

After all, even though he was extremely talented, he was still young. Compared with seventh-grade adult students, he had no advantage in magic power and was even at a disadvantage.

Even a seventh grader would find it a strenuous challenge... To be honest, Tom didn't have much confidence in himself.

After all, he wasn't a wall-climbing character like Li Weide, who started with a max level character...

Suddenly, a crisp sound came from the insulated box in front...

"Tom, it's coming out." Li Weide's joyful voice brought Tom back to his senses.

Tom also came over and looked at the incubator.

Li Weide handed Tom a pair of alchemical glasses.

After all, this is a clone of the basilisk. Even if its eyes are not as powerful as the basilisk's, they still have some lethality.

At this time, the cracks on the snake eggs in the insulated box became longer.

The next second, a piece of eggshell fell off, and Li Weide and Tom saw a small snake head crawling out...

……

on Monday.

The students soon found an announcement on the school bulletin board.

Students in every grade, including the graduating seventh graders, have an additional practical exam at the end of the semester.

At first, most of the students seemed very depressed.

Exams are already tiring, and adding another exam to the mix, who would be willing to do it?

However, by the time they got to the end of the announcement, everyone became excited.

Because they found that the scores in practical exams can make up for the scores in other subjects.

For example, if you fail Potions, you can use the results of the practical exam to make up for it and turn the failure into a pass.

If you pass all the subjects, you can convert the scores into college points and add them to your respective college, which will directly affect the ownership of the college cup at the end of the semester!

As for students who are about to graduate from seventh grade, if they pass this exam, they can add one more item to their resume.

If they later wanted to join the Ministry of Magic, or take the Auror exams.

The threshold for entering the Ministry of Magic can also be appropriately lowered based on the scores of this exam!

As a result, students no longer have the previous aversion to the added exams, but instead have more expectations and fighting spirit.

Gryffindor students were especially excited about this!

While clamoring for Gryffindor to win the house cup this year, he also worked hard in practice.

The Slytherin students naturally did not want to be defeated by their arch-rival Gryffindor, so they also began to fight.

Moreover, many Ravenclaw students who had not originally joined the mutual aid society have also quickly submitted club applications recently!

Ravenclaw, never be inferior to others! I used to think that dueling and other things were useless for grades, so I didn't have much enthusiasm for clubs.

But now... I have to practice more!

Just like that, the number of members practicing dueling in the mutual aid society suddenly increased.

Seeing that the club was becoming popular again, Levid asked Tom to ask Professor Slughorn to apply for a few more club activity rooms.

Moreover, people are intentionally or unintentionally guiding the training direction of these students.

Otherwise, if they just practice blindly like this, when the challenge comes, it’s hard to imagine more than a third of them passing...

Grindelwald was of course aware of Levid's little tricks, but he did not stop it.

After all, his purpose, in addition to tempering the will of these students, was to give them the power to defeat their imaginary enemy.

As for who the imaginary enemy is? Of course it's the Muggles!

That's why Grindelwald didn't object to Levid replacing his dark creatures with humanoid puppets.

Because the attack methods of Levitra's humanoid puppets are exactly the same as those of Muggles!

Moreover, what Grindelwald appreciated most were the warheads that had been tampered with!

In order to no longer endure that kind of pain, these little guys must be eager to become stronger...

……

Soon, it was exam week.

The practical exam is scheduled after all the exams.

Although Li Weide was exempted from all homework, he still could not escape the fate of taking exams.

However, the content of these exams did not stump Li Weide.

During the Transfiguration exam, Professor McGonagall even announced that Levid had received full marks...

The boring exam week is finally over, and the practical exam is scheduled for the weekend of the exam week!

Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Weide. After the exam, this guy went back to the laboratory.

As for Tom, he was dragged by Professor Slughorn to line up in front of the seventh-year level tent with a bitter look on his face...

……

In the laboratory.

Li Weide stretched out his hand, and a small green snake crawled up his wrist.

It was the little snake monster that was cloned earlier.

Tom named it Snicker.

Li Weide asked him why he chose such a name, and Tom just said that he chose it randomly...

It’s really quite random…Isn’t this just the word for snake, with just one letter changed?

You might as well just call Snake!

Compared to the real basilisk, the little basilisk Snicker's abilities are indeed much weaker.

First of all, the baby basilisk cannot grow as big as a real basilisk. It can only grow to two or three meters long at most.

Secondly, the magic in the little basilisk's eyes can only petrify people at most, and it is only simple petrification, not the kind of petrification that requires mandrake to solve. The good news is that the little basilisk can control this kind of petrification magic by itself.

Finally, the venom of the little basilisk is not as strong as that of a real basilisk. Of course, this is only compared with the basilisk. Compared with ordinary venomous snakes, the venom of this thing is still very strong.

"Come on, Snicker, eat something."

Li Weide took out a syringe, which was already filled with nutrient solution.

He slowly injected the nutrient solution into Snick's mouth.

Snick spat out his tongue and quickly opened his mouth to bite the syringe.

Apparently, the nutrient solution created by Li Weide is very tempting to animals...

"I suppose you wouldn't keep a basilisk at Hogwarts?"

Dumbledore's voice came from behind him.

Levid turned around, and Snicker in his hand also looked at Dumbledore warily.

"Of course not. I wouldn't dare do anything dangerous like that. This is a little snake I bred based on the appearance of a basilisk."

At this moment, a light flashed in Snick's green eyes!

"Snik! Stop!" Li Weide hurriedly stopped him.

But Snicket finally made eye contact with Dumbledore.

However, Dumbledore still stood there as if nothing had happened.

Apparently, young Snicket's petrifying gaze couldn't harm Dumbledore in the slightest.

"So it's not a basilisk... That's good. If you can breed a snake with similar medicinal effects to the basilisk but not as dangerous, that would be a good thing." Dumbledore smiled again.

Snicker looked at Dumbledore warily. For him, Dumbledore was the first person who could block his sight! He was a dangerous person!

"Yes, that's why I cultivated it..." Li Weide nodded. "Professor, why didn't you go to watch the practical exam today?"

"The headmaster is watching over there, so it won't be a problem." Dumbledore pulled over a chair and sat down, then looked at the surroundings curiously.

This was the first time Dumbledore came here since the laboratory was established.

Of course, Levid also knew that Dumbledore would come at any time, so it was impossible for him to conduct any extraordinary dark experiments here.

"As for why I came to you, of course it's because of the alchemy problem you gave me last time!" Dumbledore took out a notebook from his arms.

"Professor, have you solved the problem of the energy core of the Gublai Fairy Fire?" Li Weide asked excitedly.

"In fact, this is a big problem for me." Dumbledore said honestly, "However, I happen to have a good friend whose achievements in alchemy are more than ten times better than mine. So, I sent your problem to him. He is also very interested in your problem and sent back some solutions today..."

Upon hearing this, Li Weide immediately knew that this wave was stable.

Who else could this close friend of Dumbledore be other than Nicolas Flamel, the legendary alchemist who created the Philosopher's Stone?

Chapter 295 Tom is so lucky to have a good friend like you!

Levid took the small black notebook from Dumbledore with great interest, pulled over a chair and sat down to read it.

Dumbledore didn't care, but walked around the underground laboratory casually.

Sometimes he would look at the thriving devil's snare over there, and sometimes he would go and tease those vigorous little roosters.

Even the little snake monster Snicker was caught and taken a look at by Dumbledore.

Facing this powerful wizard whose defense even his petrification magic could not break, the little snake monster Snik instinctively felt only fear similar to encountering a natural enemy.

Not to mention opening her mouth to bite him, she didn't even dare to move. She could only tremble and let Dumbledore pick her up and look her over.

It's just a small snake! How dare it challenge such a powerful opponent?

Dumbledore wandered around leisurely until he stepped on the tail of Tom the cat who was sleeping soundly next to him.
