The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Is Yuriev a pure-blood?" Li Weide asked old Paul.

"Ha, the Yuriev family is a famous pure-blood family! Some people say that they were already there before the Muggle Tsar's family came to power." said Old Paul.

Li Weide pointed at Andrews and asked, "Where's he?"

"The surname Ivanov is a Muggle surname, and... Andrews is an orphan." Old Paul replied.

"Why are you asking these questions?" Andrews drank two more glasses and became bolder, and began to ask Li Weide questions.

"Of course, it's to guess who hurt you!" Li Weide said with a smile.

Andrew's eyes widened immediately. "Then... have you figured it out?"

Li Weide smiled and said, "Generally speaking, if someone is framed, you only need to look at who is the biggest beneficiary to roughly know who the perpetrator is. After all, no one would harm someone for no reason. There must be some benefit... Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that some people are psychopaths who harm others for fun."

"You mean... Yuriev killed me!?" Andrews asked in shock.

"A thousand Galleons... that's a huge sum of money. Being able to be so generous and use a thousand Galleons to frame someone... isn't something that everyone can do. No wonder no one believed you at first... who else could it be except those dark wizards who make easy money?"

"But... just for the position of a small captain? He is going to spend a thousand gold galleons to harm me? This..." Andrews was puzzled.

"Team Captain? He's the head of the Auror Office now..." Levid smiled. "Actually, those 1,000 Galleons weren't just used to frame you. Think about it, after they were confiscated from your vault, who would have gotten the 1,000 Galleons?"

"This...this..." Andrews has completely understood.

"This is your life-saving money... You should be thankful that you are a Muggle-born, so those pure blood rooters don't take you seriously. Otherwise, how do you expect to get out of prison alive?"

Chapter 305: Genius? That’s just the threshold to see me

"So, I should be grateful that they don't treat me as a human being?" Andrews almost laughed out of anger.

Old Paul sighed, "At least you're still alive now, right?"

"Damn... Damn it..." Andrews' eyes turned red.

Just because they are too outstanding and don't come from a good family, they can ruin their lives at will?

Andrews held the wine glass and said word by word, "I don't know what exactly you want me to do for you, but... I just hope that before that, you can let me give it one last try..."

Li Weide raised his eyebrows, "You want to seek revenge?"

"If it were you, wouldn't you take revenge?" Andrews asked with a grin.

"Me? Actually, I wouldn't put myself in such a situation... Of course, if I were unfortunate enough to end up in the same situation as you... I'd have to cut open every earthworm in their house vertically."

"So, you should be able to understand how I feel... If you can let me go for revenge, I can do anything for you!" Andrews' eyes turned blood red.

"You are writing me a blank check, Mr. Ivanov. If you go to seek revenge, you will probably never come back, right?" Li Weide opened a piece of chocolate and put it into his mouth, savoring it carefully.

"Then I'll help you finish the job, and then you let me go." Andrews said coldly.

Li Weide looked quietly into Andrews's gray eyes, then suddenly smiled and said, "I originally just wanted you to be my guide. But... your experience and abilities have piqued my interest... How about this, I'll help you get revenge, and then you can join me?"

"If I want to seek revenge on that pure-blooded idiot, I can do it myself," Andrews said coldly.

"But you can't come back."

"One for one, I don't lose out!" said Andrews.

Li Weide smiled and said, "What a loss! Trading one for one with him is such a loss. If it were me, I wouldn't want to trade one for one with that idiot. Not only do I want revenge, but I also want to live well after that. Otherwise, how can I justify those ten years in prison and my bright future? It's only because you don't have a childhood sweetheart who was snatched away by him, otherwise..."

"Yes." Andrews' face was full of bitterness, "This... really exists..."

Li Weide silently put down the chocolate wrapper in his hand. "Ah... poor Mr. Ivanov... you're really full of debuffs. But as I said before, I can help you get revenge to your heart's content. After the revenge is completed, you can still live well... All I need is that you follow me from now on."

"Who are you? I don't believe that a kid who looks like a teenager can have such strength..." Andrews began to stare at Li Weide.

Li Weide grinned and said, "When you first graduated, were many people calling you a genius?"

"Well... they all say that I am a genius among geniuses..." Although Andrews is down and out now, his words are still full of pride when he thinks of his glorious moments.

"I'm different from you, Mr. Ivanov. Being called a genius is just the threshold to meet me..." Li Weide smiled.

Andrews and Old Paul both frowned. This was too pretentious!

"I know what you are thinking. Do you think that I became like this because I drank some polyjuice potion?" Li Weide asked.

Andrews and old Paul were both veterans. When they heard this, they immediately understood his implication.

"You...is this really your true appearance now?" Andrews looked at Li Weide in shock.

When he was fighting with Li Weide just now, he felt deeply the strength of this oriental boy.

In fact, he had already determined in his heart that the other party must be a powerful wizard who did not show his true face.

But now...this person actually said that this was his true appearance? Was he really just a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy?

Then, considering this young man's abilities... wouldn't it be a bit... to call myself a genius among geniuses in front of him...

"So you... are still in school?" Andrews spoke a little unsteadily.

"I'm a student at Hogwarts. I'm just an ordinary second-year student whose abilities are slightly better than those of my peers... or even better than many adult wizards... Oh, and in two months I'll be a third-year student."

Andrews and Paul both made a fadeaway move...

Although it is ridiculous, they have begun to believe it.

In fact, judging from the strength displayed by the other party... there is no need for such a powerful wizard to tell them such an outrageous lie!

Just like the wizard named Zhang he met during the day, his strength was enough to crush them, so he didn't waste any time talking to him, just knocked down his group and left...

But, a presumably third-year student who was incredibly strong…what was he trying to do by recruiting a younger brother?

"If you could reveal more of your information..." Andrews said hesitantly.

Li Weide ignored Andrews' question and said directly, "Put aside your grudge for now and be my guide for a while. This matter is settled. Of course... you can also try to run away... But I have remembered you, Mr. Ivanov. I believe you will make the right choice."

Li Weide turned to Old Paul and said, "Is there any vacant guest room? I want to stay here tonight."

"Of course," said Old Paul.

"Okay, I hope to see you here tomorrow, Mr. Ivanov." Li Weide said, turned around, picked up his luggage, and followed Old Paul to the guest rooms on the second floor of the tavern.

Andrews looked at Li Weide's back and felt helpless.

Whether it was the wizard named Zhang during the day or the teenager tonight, he couldn't defeat her...

In other words, although Li Weide looked smiling later, he actually had no choice!

When old Paul went downstairs, he found Andrews still sitting at the bar in a daze.

"Go back, young man, I'm ready to close..." said Old Paul.

"Tell me, can I trust him?" Andrews asked.

Old Paul smiled and said, "I think you might as well trust him. Anyway...what situation could be worse than your current one?"

"That's true..." Andrews sighed.

Old Paul gave him another drink.

"I can't afford the alcohol... Paul."

"This is for you, Andrews...for your tragic story."

……

Early the next morning, Li Weide walked down from upstairs refreshed.

At a glance, I saw Andrews sitting at the bar.

He changed his clothes and had his messy hair and beard cut.

"You look much more energetic today than yesterday, Mr. Ivanov." Li Weide said with a smile.

"I hope you can live up to my trust." Andrews said coldly.

"In fact, I rarely let my friends down... Of course, the premise is that you can really become my friend." Li Weide came to the bar.

Paul brought Li Weide a breakfast, "Breakfast included in the stay, sir."

"That's a clever marketing strategy, Mr. Paul," Li Weide said with a smile. "Give Mr. Ivanov one too. It's my treat."

"I've already eaten elsewhere," Andrews said.

Li Weide picked up a fried egg and took a bite. "Well... that's your loss, Mr. Ivanov. The breakfast provided by Mr. Paul tastes very good."

Andrews said, "I don't even know your name. And... since I'm your guide, shouldn't I get some compensation?"

Old Paul silently broke into a cold sweat for Andrews.

Last night, this reckless man attacked someone and was killed by him. Now he dares to ask for compensation?

However, Li Weide was not angry. "My last name is Li, Li Weide... As for the compensation... it's only natural to get paid for your work. So... how about two gold galleons a day?"

Andrews and old Paul were both surprised.

In this era, the purchasing power of gold Galleons is very great. A day's salary of two gold Galleons is already very high!

Now, everything outside is a mess. Where can I find a job that pays fourteen gold galleons a week?

"Don't be so surprised, Mr. Ivanov. If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it. I understand this simple truth better than anyone else." Li Weide said with a smile.

Li Weide knew very well that Andrews Ivanov was indeed worth the price.

Because although this guy has been imprisoned for ten years and was released not long ago, when they fought last night, Li Weide clearly felt that this guy's strength is much stronger than that of ordinary elite Aurors, and he is indeed qualified to be an Auror captain.

Two gold Galleons a day can recruit a wizard with the strength of an Auror Captain, which is very worthwhile.

"Okay. Deal." Andrews agreed very readily.

Faced with such a high salary, only a person with a normal mind would refuse it!

"In fact, if you continue to hire me at this price, I will continue to help you even if you don't help me get revenge." Andrews said in a deep voice.

Li Weide nodded and said, "It can be seen that you are really afraid of being poor."

Andrews' face was once again filled with bitterness when he heard this. Once upon a time, he was full of vigor and ambition and regarded money as dirt... But now...

However, in fact, even if Li Weide did not give him such a high salary, he would choose to trust Li Weide temporarily.

I talked to old Paul last night, and he was actually right. Is there any situation worse than where he is now?

This young man is very powerful at a young age, and his manners, conversation, and way of doing things do not seem to be an ordinary person.

Maybe the family behind him also has extremely powerful strength!

This may be his last chance in this life to completely overthrow the Yuriev family and take back everything he lost!

"We'll set off in half an hour." Li Weide said.

"Understood, boss."

Chapter 306: Wizards should also be considered magical creatures, right?

Thirty minutes later, Andrews was the first to walk out of the tavern, holding Li Weide's suitcase in his hand.

Li Weide then walked out, dressed like a little gentleman.

He looked at the sun outside and put on a hat...

Andrews turned around and saw Li Weide's flashy outfit, and couldn't help but frowned.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that Li Weide's clothes were not transformed by transfiguration.

It was as if every stitch and thread radiated the light of gold Galleons...

"Boss, you're easily robbed with this outfit..."

"Robbery? You know, I'm not afraid of that." Li Weide shrugged.

"But that would always be a hassle..." said Andrews.

"In fact, I dress like this for you, Mr. Ivanov. If I don't dress like this, how will others know that you, Andrews Ivanov, have got a decent job?" Li Weide said slowly.

"Is this important?" Andrews asked doubtfully.

"Of course... before today, you were just a prisoner who had just been released from jail, a poacher, and a smuggler. Even the tavern owner, Old Paul, knew that you were a hopeless case. But from today on, everything is completely different! If you want revenge, you must first have a decent identity... and now, I will give you this identity." Li Weide said with a smile.

Andrews pondered.

At this time, Li Weide found a dilapidated Thestral carriage parked at the door of the bar.

The two Thestrals pulling the cart were skinny...
