The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"I don't know. Maybe she doesn't have any purpose. She just wants to do a job that she is interested in. Look, she doesn't look like a bad person." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom didn't comment on Li Weide's joke. Who can tell good people from bad people by face reading? Can bad people carve the word "bad" on their foreheads?

"Look! Dumbledore followed Grindelwald to the back! Do you think they will fight?" Tom said excitedly.

He really wanted to see the battle between these two wizards again.

"Unless they want to tear down Hogwarts... and Grindelwald won't fight Dumbledore if he knows he can't win, and Dumbledore certainly won't. Assaulting a Ministry official is a serious crime." Levid glanced at them, then lowered his head to continue eating breakfast. "This matter may have nothing to do with us. Let's wait and see... and continue with our plan. If anything really happens, I'll take responsibility."

"Ha! You're really reliable..."

"You're being a bit surly."

"You're joking! How could I dare? I'm really admiring you from the bottom of my heart..."

"Tom, after breakfast, let's go practice. I think your fighting skills are still lacking..."

"If you want to settle a personal grudge, just say so!"

"Okay, I want to settle my personal grudge. Just give me a beating."

"You're so... unreasonable!"

"Tom, only the weak are reasonable... Look at Grindelwald, he only behaves reasonably when facing Dumbledore."

"Zhao! Hit me if you want! Come on!"

……

Dumbledore is indeed very angry now.

In the corridor next to him, he began to question Grindelwald.

"You're going too far!"

"Excessive? Didn't we already discuss this before? We will guide students to safely come into contact with the dark arts." Grindelwald said.

"We did discuss this, but how can you include this as the main content in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class?"

"If you're going to learn, then learn thoroughly. What's the difference between what you're referring to as extracurricular content and the Defense Against the Dark Arts classes we've been taught? We need to truly strengthen the new generation of wizards! This is the core content, the most important part of my educational reform!" Grindelwald was adamant about his opinion. "Can you teach? If not, the professorship will be replaced! I have many experienced people under my wing..."

"Did I say I can't teach?" Dumbledore said coldly.

"Then why are you stopping me to say these things? If you have any objections, just write a letter to the Ministry of Magic to complain!" Grindelwald pushed Dumbledore away and passed by.

Suddenly, he turned around and continued, "By the way, please keep your report as short as possible so that I can finish reading it quickly... Goodbye."

Grindelwald said this before turning and leaving triumphantly.

Go ahead and report it, the report letter will be sent to me anyway...

"You're a little impulsive, Albus..." Principal Dippet had arrived at some point.

"Feel sorry……"

"No need to apologize to me, Albus. You haven't done anything wrong... Once the Ministry of Magic issues an order, it's difficult to change it. You should be aware of his current influence in the magical world. Now that things have come to this... It's better for this part of the course to be in your hands than in the hands of the Wiccan Party."

"I see..." Dumbledore pondered for a moment, then continued, "Maybe this matter is not that bad... He only asked me to teach the Dark Arts, but he didn't say that I can't emphasize the many terrible negative effects of the Dark Arts..."

"Ha, I knew it wouldn't be difficult for you! After seeing the various terrible negative effects of black magic, maybe the students will hate it even more than before." Principal Dippet laughed.

"Oh right...Ms. Paris..."

Principal Dippet said, "I agreed."

"Why? She seems to have other purposes, and she came with Grindelwald." Dumbledore asked puzzledly.

"I can't tell you the reason right now. I can only say that she wouldn't hurt anyone at Hogwarts. And...she and Grindelwald are definitely not on the same page. I can't tell you anything more."

"You can't even tell me?" Dumbledore asked in surprise.

"No, this is something I promised someone else... Anyway, don't worry about Ms. Paris's affairs." Principal Dippet patted Dumbledore's shoulder and turned away...

Chapter 364 Tom: Letting members of the organization get tattoos on their arms? Only a fool would do that!

The change of the castle manager in the castle did not bring much change to the students' student life.

However, most students said that the new castle manager was more friendly than the previous one.

And Ms. Paris is very talkative. She can chat with students at any time.

Many girls who have experienced emotional setbacks even come to her to confide in her...

After secretly observing Ms. Paris for quite some time, Dumbledore had to admit that she was very conscientious and very popular...

Because he still had a lot of troubles, and thinking back to Principal Dippet's advice, he had to temporarily stop paying attention to Ms. Paris and start worrying about his own affairs.

In order to solve the big problem of adding dark magic content to the curriculum, Dumbledore even went to the Chamber of Secrets to consult Slytherin...

Slytherin was very enthusiastic, and even said that Hogwarts should have been exposed to the Dark Arts a long time ago!

However, Dumbledore told him that Hogwarts and the world today are different from his time after all.

There is no need for so much fighting and conflict anymore.

People in the wizarding world now yearn for a stable and peaceful life more than in the dark and chaotic times of the past.

Especially with the Muggle World War starting...

Slytherin was eventually persuaded by Dumbledore, and he put away his own collection of dark magic. He then compiled a new collection that focused on describing the various terrible negative effects of dark magic, and gave it to Dumbledore...

After announcing the curriculum reform, Grindelwald came to urge Dumbledore to change the course content almost every day and sent new teaching materials.

Dumbledore agreed on the surface, but after taking the textbooks for a long time, he still did not change the course.

After being urged, he always refused by using the excuse that he was still preparing.

In a rage, Grindelwald finally gave Dumbledore a week to prepare.

Dumbledore didn't care. During this time, he quietly compiled a new set of dark magic teaching materials based on those provided by Grindelwald...

……

The battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald has little to do with Levid.

Because the dark magic provided by Grindelwald was very child's play for Levid and even Tom.

Levid's Hydra plan is still proceeding in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the content of the ideological and moral education course that Professor Slughorn was in charge of also quietly changed.

Based on the lesson plan provided by Li Weide, plus specially made slides.

In the Morality class, Professor Slughorn gave a detailed account of the dark side of society to all the students who attended the class...

The miserable lives of those who are excluded from society.

The wizarding world, the plight of the lower classes... and so on...

Whenever this happened, Professor Slughorn would follow Levid's advice and mark out those students who were clearly empathetic.

In response to this, Li Weide said that these students have high ideological awareness and strong empathy, and are the people his mutual aid society needs most.

Professor Slughorn didn't ask any further questions, even though many of the people he picked out were already members of mutual aid societies...

In fact, he had some idea of ​​what Li Weide wanted to do.

However, for someone like Li Weide, it would be strange if he did nothing.

Ambitious and capable... this is the real Slytherin.

Although he was not sure what Li Weide was planning to do, he still hoped that he could leave his name in Li Weide's career!

……

In the club activity room.

"These people can serve as Hydra's reserve members... We can continue to observe their specifics later. Then we can slowly let them join... This is a long process, so we can't rush it."

Li Weide handed Tom a list.

Tom took it and flipped through it in surprise. "I originally thought you were holding a moral education class just to indoctrinate people, but I didn't expect it to be a way to select people? But... many of the people here are quite weak..."

Of course, there are mediocre and outstanding students.

Tom, who has been involved in community work for a long time, is actually very clear about which students are talented and which are mediocre.

But in these lists, mediocre students make up the majority, while talented students are few and far between...

Shouldn't we try to select talented people when recruiting?

Even most of the people on this list are Hufflepuff students... There are only a few Slytherin students.

"I only need people with high ideological awareness, because these people will stand by our side. Even if they are weak now, don't worry, I have the ability to make them stronger... Besides, our cause doesn't require everyone to be a fighter! Geniuses are not just those who are good at fighting, geniuses from all walks of life should also be considered! Our organization will have to have all kinds of talents in the future. We can't just have reckless men who only know how to fight."

Tom nodded and looked at the list in his hand again.

He suddenly realized that these ordinary names were the most ordinary group of people in the wizarding world... that is, the vast majority of people!

"This is... the people?"

Li Weide was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Yes, these are the people, the people we fight for, and our core. Don't think they are weak. When they unite, they are a powerful force."

"The wizarding world of the future..." A gleam flashed in Tom's eyes.

"The wizarding world? No, our future is not limited to the wizarding world." Li Weide corrected.

Hearing this, Tom suddenly remembered the entanglement between Levid and Grindelwald... and his previous speculations.

The intentions of these two people are this world...

"My vision is limited..."

"Okay, Tom, look at this," Livid said, throwing out a ring.

Tom took it and looked at it.

This is a small black ring. It feels warm to the touch and I don’t know what material it is made of.

There is a small Hydra emblem engraved on the ring face...

"Members of the same organization always have to have some token of their loyalty..." Li Weide said with a smile, "A ring is much better than just getting a tattoo on your arm, right?"

"Getting a tattoo on your arm?" Tom frowned. "What kind of idiot would do that? If you need to hide it, it's impossible to do it this way. Others can tell who you are right away."

Li Weide smiled but said nothing.

A fool named Voldemort did just that...

"Oh, by the way, I plan to add the function of transmitting information to this ring, which only requires the flexible use of some conversion spells." Li Weide said.

"Well, that's great. Can you convey the information to a specific person accurately?" Tom asked.

"This is a trial version now. It can only support group messaging...precise contact is not possible yet." Li Weide shrugged.

This is the first version he asked the Fairy Workshop to make. Next, he will need the fairies' help to continue improving it.

With the alchemy skills of those fairies, it probably won’t take long.

"The most important thing is that it has a hidden function. When necessary, it can be hidden in the hand and not discovered by others." Tom suggested.

"That's right. We also need to add a function to bind to the owner. In case something happens to the original owner, it will not be picked up by the enemy and infiltrated into our group..." Li Weide added.

Tom was startled when he heard this. It seemed that the road ahead was destined to be dangerous... otherwise Li Weide would not have even considered this.

"Okay, come here, I'll tell you about my vision for the future structure of the organization..." Li Weide took out another piece of parchment with dense writing on it and told Tom about it.

For some reason, the more Tom listened, the weirder it seemed...

"Wait..." He interrupted Li Weide, "You don't have to tell me so much... You've said so much, why do I feel like you're making arrangements for your funeral?"

"Ha! That's very unlikely, Tom. But, as the second-in-command of the organization, you need to understand these things better than anyone else. You'd better remember what I said. You'll be responsible for telling others later. I don't want to tell you again..."

"Oh, so you want to be lazy again..." Tom breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

"Of course! If the leader has to do everything himself, what's the point of having you guys as his subordinates?"

"I just feel that... you seem a little anxious lately."

"Time waits for no one, buddy. Although it may sound harsh, this Muggle war is indeed a good opportunity for us... If we don't hurry, we might miss it..."

……

"The organizational structure is resolved, and the next step is equipment..."

In the dark corridor of Hogwarts, Levid was thinking as he walked.
