The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

The more Tom thought about it, the more frightened he became. He quickly started to pry Li Weide's hands apart and prepared to run away.

I’m afraid that if the contact lasts too long, Li Weide will really not wake up!

After forcing Li Weide's hands apart, Tom took a deep breath and began to spin.

"Apparition..."

However, he had just turned half a circle when he was pinned down again.

"Ha! I remember!" Li Weide grabbed Tom's shoulders and shook him hard.

"Fuck! You evil creature, what have you thought of now?" Tom roared.

His Apparition was forcibly interrupted, and he almost split apart...

"I mean, I remember who you are, and... who I am." Li Weide smiled.

However, Tom did not relax, because this curse not only changed cognition, but also had the effect of tampering with memory.

This was true for Dumbledore, and for everyone else as well.

Li Weide's stunned look just now probably means that he failed to resist and was then forcibly instilled with a false memory by the curse...

If he guessed correctly, at this moment, Li Weide already thought that he was another person.

But this is also good, at least this bastard's memory and himself should not be directly erased...

"I remember. You are Tom. And I..."

"Who are you? Bastard?" Tom started to pry Li Weide's hands again, hoping to leave as soon as possible.

"What a bastard! You have no respect for your elders! My name is Li Weide, and I'm your adoptive father! My dear son, call me daddy!"

This time, Li Weide's voice did not change in pitch, but was his normal voice.

Tom stopped breaking his arms suddenly. He turned to look at Li Weide in surprise, and then saw his extremely annoying smile again.

"Fuck...were you kidding me?!"

Chapter 360 Tom, guess what emotion is deeper than friendship?

"Huh? That's strange, how did I trick you?" Li Weide asked in surprise.

"You clearly just now..." Tom stopped talking midway.

Because he thought that Li Weide was also cursed, it was just a guess based on Li Weide's performance.

It seems that Li Weide cannot really be blamed. After all, it was his own guess that was wrong...

No...it's not important!

"So you're not affected?" Tom asked eagerly.

"Influence?" Li Weide smiled and patted his shoulder. "Just now, the curse on you has been cleared."

"Cleared?" Tom looked at Li Weide in surprise, "I didn't see you do it!"

Li Weide spread his hands and said, "I'm an expert, so it's normal that you didn't see it clearly."

"But...it's that simple, it can be cleared?" Tom was a little unconvinced.

This curse that had troubled him for almost a day and a night was lifted just by Li Weide patting his shoulder?

It's a bit of a joke, huh? Bastard!

But... when he heard that the curse was lifted, Tom still breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tom, because this matter is actually very simple... Do I have to perform a ritual and then perform a shaman dance to exorcise the evil spirits for you?" Li Weide said.

Tom frowned. "What is that..."

"It's nothing... I've asked Fawkes to find Dumbledore. When he comes over later, you'll know whether the curse on you has been lifted." Levid said with a smile.

"What on earth is going on?" asked Tom eagerly.

Li Weide found a relatively clean stone nearby and sat on it. "I know you have a lot of questions to ask me. Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere today, so you can ask them one by one."

Tom looked around and saw nothing except the rock where Lewes was sitting.

His face was stern and he waved his wand violently.

"boom!"

The reef not far away exploded, and then Tom picked up a large piece of rubble from the ground and moved it over. He sat opposite Li Weide and stared at Li Weide.

"Wow...it seems you have quite a temper. I personally suggest you make some honeysuckle tea, it can relieve lung heat..."

"Are you still in the mood to joke? Do you think this is a joke?" Tom asked coldly.

"I'm not kidding... Honeysuckle really is..."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about!" Tom interrupted Lewes's rambling nonsense.

"Okay... okay... I was indeed negligent in this matter. I didn't expect the magic to go out of control..."

"Wait! Did the magic go haywire?" Tom asked.

"Yes……"

"So... my magic went haywire?"

"right……"

"So, you still used that weird magic of yours on me?! How could you do that? This is against school rules! I'm going to tell Professor Dumbledore... No! This is illegal! I'm going to report it to the Ministry of Magic!" Tom jumped up.

"Go ahead...you have no evidence now anyway." Li Weide shrugged and said.

"You..." Tom's teeth were about to break. Thinking of the worry he had experienced throughout the day and night, he really felt that it was not worth it!

"Don't be anxious, Tom. Professor Dumbledore actually knows about this. And it's not just you. Everyone who saw me receive the Special Contribution Award in the auditorium that day was affected by my magic..." Li Weide explained.

Tom looked at Levid in shock. "How could Professor Dumbledore agree to such a ridiculous thing?"

"I'm sorry, Tom... but I had no choice." Dumbledore's voice came from behind.

Tom turned around and saw Dumbledore standing not far away, with Fawkes standing over his shoulder.

Since Dumbledore appeared near him and was not affected at all, it proved that the curse on him had indeed been lifted...

But Tom looked at Dumbledore with a look of disappointment.

"Professor... I originally thought you would never do something like secretly casting a spell on a student..."

"Tom, what you said is wrong. It was me who cast the spell on you, not Professor Dumbledore." Li Weide said.

"But he agreed..." said Tom.

"I was too confident and thought I could hide it from everyone, but plans can never keep up with changes... I didn't expect that the magic I was so confident in would go wrong with you." Li Weide sighed.

"What on earth would you do that for?" asked Tom.

"I need to go out for a while..." Li Weide said.

"Going out for a while? Then you could have just told us directly... You didn't even need to tell us the truth, you could just lie and ask for leave. Why did you have to hide it from us... to the point of using magic to conceal it?" Tom said dissatisfiedly.

"No, Tom, no..." Dumbledore shook his head. "The Hogwarts Express was attacked on the first day of school... Actually, those people might have come for Wade. After the formula for the Dragon Pox potion was released, someone set their sights on something on him..."

Tom finally understood that Li Weide had been targeted and it was very unsafe for him to go out. So if he wanted to go out, it would be best to let everyone think that he was still in school...

"Then what on earth is going on that requires you to go out? You know someone is watching you outside!" Tom asked in confusion.

Dumbledore looked at Levid, who shrugged. "Tell him... She won't mind. Now she just wants to be free and doesn't care about anything else..."

"She? Who is she?" asked Tom in surprise.

So Dumbledore told Tom a brief account of the senior student.

"So, you have to risk going out, even if you have to cast a spell on all the teachers and students in the school, to rescue her?" Tom looked at Li Weide.

"Yes... Tom, once a debt of favor is owed, paying it back is never as pleasant as borrowing it..." Li Weide spread his hands.

"Then what about the magic on me?" Tom went around in circles and finally asked about the curse he was carrying.

Li Weide said happily: "Regarding this point, I am very happy that you really regard me as a close friend."

"What the hell! When did I ever consider you a close friend?" Tom shuddered when he heard that.

"The magic I cast on everyone is actually very simple. It just makes everyone subconsciously feel that I am in school, right next to you. Whenever anything about me is mentioned, the power of nightmare magic will intervene..."

"So that's how it is!" At this moment, Tom suddenly remembered a lot of things, and the memory of how he had cracked the nightmare magic and set Levid as [Friend W] also slowly came back to him.

"No wonder I always feel like I've forgotten something! It turns out that every time I think of you, my memory will be modified!" Tom exclaimed.

"Yes... No one else noticed, but you did. Because the friendship between you and me is greater than that of other classmates... So, it takes more effort for the nightmare magic to modify your cognition... What I am sure is that you must have briefly broken free from the constraints of the nightmare magic at some point, and then realized that I had disappeared..."

"The friendship of the hammer..." Tom said through gritted teeth.

Li Weide continued, "Then, here comes the exciting part... Although the nightmare magic was briefly broken by you, the greater the force of your attack, the stronger its counterattack... The powerful force of emotion amplified your magic power, breaking through the nightmare magic, but... The nightmare magic I cast on you relies on your magic power as energy to operate... Therefore, when your magic power is amplified by your emotions, the nightmare magic is also amplified, and the counterattack will naturally be more fierce... It even mutated, causing a certain degree of loss of control..."

"What about Professor Dumbledore? Why is he also affected? Even if my magic power is increased, it can't be as good as his, right?" Tom asked.

"Your magic power is indeed insufficient, but as I just said, nightmare magic relies on your own magic power to operate, and at that time, the nightmare magic in your body had already gone out of control and began to radiate and affect others. When Professor Dumbledore approached you, the nightmare magic would act on him... At the same time, the nightmare magic acting on him would rely on his magic power to begin to operate... In other words, Professor Dumbledore was confused by the nightmare magic activated by his own magic power... And after you left, without the magic power of your nightmare magic as a demonstration, his magic power would slowly return to normal, and the influence he had suffered would naturally gradually disappear. This is why Professor Dumbledore woke up as soon as you left Hogwarts."

Tom suddenly realized why Dumbledore had been tricked even though he had taken precautions...

"Then why weren't you affected?" Tom asked again.

"I'm different from you because I possess the power of nightmare magic. So, since I already know that your nightmare magic is driven by emotional power, how could I possibly be affected? I just need to use my emotional power, which is stronger than yours, to amplify my own nightmare magic, and then I can naturally dispel your nightmare magic... It's just bullying the weak, nothing special."

"Stronger emotional power than mine?" Tom looked at Li Weide suspiciously.

"Of course! You regard me as your best friend...and what emotion is deeper than the emotion between best friends?" Li Weide asked with a wink.

"What is it?" Tom got goosebumps.

Damn! That’s disgusting!

"Of course it's the love between father and son! After putting myself in the role of your father, the nightmare magic on you is simply not worth mentioning compared to our father-son love! So, shouldn't I call you my good son?" Li Weide said happily.

"You... hammer's father-son relationship!" Tom's anger rose again.

"Of course it's the love between father and son! What else do you think?" Li Weide asked in surprise. "Then tell me, if it's not the love between father and son, what else could it be?"

"I...how the hell should I know?"

"Oh, what a disappointment! I thought you could at least say brotherly love to me..."

Tom really wanted to pick up a hard piece of gravel from the ground and smash it hard on the bastard's face! See if he could still smile!

but……

Hold on... Hold on! I can't beat him yet!

Chapter 361 The great Lord Vader and his loyal little brother!

"Tom, go back."

Dumbledore had been listening to the conversation between Levitra and Tom.

It was only at this time, when they had finished their business and started to joke around, that he spoke again.

Then he looked at Li Weide again, with more joy in his eyes.

He always felt that Li Weide today was slightly different from before.

Even Li Weide's smile seemed more natural today.

"Go back? Of course I have no problem with that, but what about this guy? Has he completed his mission?" Tom pointed at Li Weide.

"I'm almost done... Let's go back. Because of your accident, I'm starting to lose confidence in my magic," Livid said, stroking his chin. "You know, I'm very popular in school and have many close friends. If something happens to someone else, it will be very difficult to deal with."

"Then let's go back together. I'm really worried about you being out there," Dumbledore said cheerfully. "Let's go to the nearest wizarding inn and borrow a fireplace. I left a passage through the office fireplace on my way out."

"Let's go..." Tom didn't look at Li Weide, picked up his bag and walked forward.

Dumbledore sighed, then said to Levid, "You should apologize to Tom when you go back."

"Okay, professor." Li Weide agreed straightforwardly, while Tom in front pretended not to hear.

"What did you gain from this trip?" Dumbledore asked again.

"Not bad. Although I haven't explored it completely, I am still confident that I can release her." Li Weide said.

"Heh... I guess when you were about to use magic on us before, you also said that you were very confident, right? You really haven't learned your lesson..." Tom's sarcastic voice came from the front.
