The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Isn't she your classmate?"

"Classmate? How is that possible? I only met her after graduation, and she was already quite old then... That's why I was so surprised. To be honest, after so many years, considering her age, I would have thought..."

Li Weide touched his chin, then took out his wand and released a white mist. After a while, the image of Herora Paris condensed in the air...

"Was she like this when you first met her?"

"Yeah, she must be very old now..." The senior looked at Heroura with nostalgia.

"No... this is what she looks like now," Li Weide said.

The senior student looked at Li Weide in surprise, "So, she has always been like this?"

"That should be it..." Li Weide sighed, "Your friend doesn't seem that simple..."

"She's always been something special...Okay, I need to meet her," the senior student suddenly said. "If what you say is true, maybe she can help you get me out...You might have taken some risks saving me before, but now, with her by your side, you definitely don't need to."

"Do you need me to show her the way?"

"She buried me, so why would I need you to lead the way? She'll probably come find me soon. Okay, I know what you're thinking, Wade. But this is a reunion between two women after many years. How can you stay and listen in? I never realized you were so nosy before."

Li Weide had anticipated this and was not too disappointed.

Besides, he wasn't just gossiping, but he wanted to get more information from their conversation...

However, since the senior student disagrees, it doesn’t matter. He has already learned a lot of valuable information through these two conversations anyway.

Besides, he had other ways of finding out what kind of person Helora Paris was.

……

"Can you build the equipment required?"

In the fairy workshop, Li Weide handed a piece of paper filled with requirements to a fairy craftsman in the workshop.

After a quick glance, the goblin craftsman nodded and said, "It should be possible. I wonder what kind of equipment you need made, sir? A necklace? A pocket watch? Or something else?"

"Can these functions be condensed into the ring I asked you to make last time?" Li Weide asked.

"It's a bit difficult, but it can be done. But the cost may be a bit high." The goblin craftsman said honestly.

"Make a sample for me first. Oh, and then give me the blueprint and the list of materials needed," Li Weide said. "By the way, if you need any new materials, you can ask wizards like you to buy them for you."

The wizards who were similar to the goblins were the dark wizards that the senior had enslaved. These people were the perfect people to purchase materials on behalf of the goblins.

Otherwise, a group of strange goblins going to buy materials would be too conspicuous.

The goblin craftsman took the ring from Li Weide and retreated respectfully.

The advantage of having a fairy workshop is that Li Weide no longer needs to do everything himself when researching equipment.

He just needs to put forward the demand, and then they can help you research it...

……

The weather got cold especially early this year.

It's only the end of September and students already need to get out all their thick clothes and put them on.

"I have a little heating spell that can make you feel warm as spring even in the cold winter," said Tom.

"That's great! Then I don't have to dress so bulky!" Anne looked delighted.

"Teach us quickly." Flitwick urged, rubbing his hands.

Hagrid stupidly took a sip from the cup of pumpkin juice, then asked in confusion, "Is it really that cold?"

"Cold! Too cold! Ah... I really envy your figure, Hagrid... You're tall and strong, and you're not afraid of the cold!" Flitwick stood on a chair, and still had to crane his neck to look at Hagrid who was standing.

"Really... I don't want to be so tall... people will always look at me strangely." Hagrid bent down and carried Flitwick to sit on the table, as if he was holding a baby.

Flitwick laughed heartily, not caring at all, as he enjoyed the view from his high vantage point.

"Haha, since I'm being looked at strangely by others now, I might as well be taller. At least I'll be happy..."

"Tom, was this little spell for keeping warm also taught to you by Wade?" Annie asked curiously.

"No! He didn't teach me that." Tom straightened up for no reason. "I have my own background, right?"

The little spell for keeping warm was very simple. Even Hagrid, who was not very smart, was able to use it successfully under Flitwick's hands-on teaching.

The four of them stood by the window of the club room, watching the snowflakes falling outside...

After a while, Annie began to pull off her thick clothes. "Where's Wade?"

Tom shrugged. "I just saw him leave with Principal Dippet. I don't know what he was going to talk to the principal about."

Hagrid said with envy, "...He's amazing. He can always chat and laugh with those important people. I feel cramps in my calves when I stand in front of them..."

"Although I don't want to say this, but... he is indeed different from us..." Tom said with a complicated expression.

Everyone fell silent again after hearing this.

Indeed, how could a normal student kill so many dark wizards right after entering the third grade...

"Why are you gathered here?" Li Weide came from a distance.

Tom felt an inexplicable joy in his heart when he saw Li Weide wrapped tightly and shivering.

Because Li Weide obviously doesn't know the little magic spell to keep warm!

This time, it was me, Tom, who won!

Li Weide looked at Tom, who looked very proud, in confusion.

"Annie, aren't you cold wearing so little?" Li Weide asked.

"It's not cold!" Anne puffed out her chest, trying to show off her somewhat immature curves. It was indeed better looking than wearing a bulky winter coat. "Tom taught us a little spell to keep warm! Do you want to try it?"

"Oh?" Li Weide now understood why Tom looked so proud. "Let me see..."

He leaned closer to look at them, then shook his head, "Annie, you'd better put on some clothes... Tom's a poor learner, and if he dares to teach, you dare to learn too! Be careful not to get frozen."

"How could that be? I'm not cold now..." Annie objected.

"If you don't believe it, put your hand on your face and try it," said Li Weide.

Anne did as she was told, and was surprised to find that her hands were frozen like ice cubes...

"Tom, this spell can only make you feel cold, but in reality, your body is still cold... So, this spell is suitable for situations where you still feel cold even if you are wearing thick clothes..."

"Ah!"

Before Li Weide could finish his words, Annie sneezed loudly... and then she pitifully put on the winter clothes she had just taken off.

Flitwick was stunned and said, "Fortunately, I didn't act rashly just now..."

The pride on Tom's face had turned into depression. "It's not in the book..."

"You have to practice it first, Tom. It's better to have no books than to believe in them blindly." Lewes said, taking out a bottle of potion and handing it to Annie.

After Anne drank the potion, white smoke came out of her nose and ears, making her look like the locomotive of the Hogwarts Express.

"What did you talk about with Principal Dippet just now?" Tom asked.

"I asked who that Ms. Paris was," Li Weide replied.

Since Headmaster Dippet agreed to let Ms. Paris come to Hogwarts as the castle warden, it proved that he already knew who she was.

After all, he had investigated her before.

"What did the principal say?"

Li Weide shrugged. "He told me that I could trust her unconditionally... As for who she was, he didn't tell me."

Several people were surprised by this answer.

"Principal Dippet actually trusts Ms. Paris so much? I remember you said before that he investigated her and suspected that she had problems." Tom said in surprise. "Will he..."

"Principal Dippet is not under the Imperius Curse." Levid said directly.

"Okay..." Tom nodded.

Since Li Weide said that the principal was not cursed, then the principal probably was not cursed.

"Why are you curious about Ms. Paris's identity?" Anne asked curiously. "How about... I go ask that man?"

"No need... The reason I'm curious about her identity is because the snacks she makes are so delicious." Li Weide took out the golden box and shared Ms. Paris's snacks with his friends.

Tom looked at Li Weide suspiciously. He didn't believe that Li Weide would inquire about Ms. Paris just for this reason.

"Oh right... Professor Dumbledore is a bit overwhelmed, so we'll probably have to start learning the Dark Arts in this week's Defense Against the Dark Arts class," Levid said. "That's what Principal Dippet just told us, so we should be prepared."

"I don't like the Dark Arts..." Flitwick frowned.

Tom scratched his cheek. "I used to like it... but I don't really have any talent for the Dark Arts... It's hard to learn, and the power is average..."

Chapter 367 No! Why does this noseless bald guy look so familiar to me?

"Today, according to the requirements of my superiors, I have no choice but to teach you the knowledge about the Dark Arts that I originally started to teach you in fifth grade..."

Dumbledore stood at the podium and spoke seriously.

"I imagine that some of you may already be very familiar with the Dark Arts before you even started school... But today, you will temporarily put aside your understanding of the Dark Arts and start from scratch. Let me explain it to you."

He picked up the Defense Against the Dark Arts textbook in his hand and put it aside. "Today's lesson is not in the textbook, so I hope you can take good notes..."

The students hurriedly put away their textbooks and took out their notebooks and quills.

"First of all, we need to know what dark magic is... So, does anyone know what kind of magic can be called dark magic?" Dumbledore looked at everyone.

Tom raised his hands high.

"Tom."

Tom stood up and answered, "Objectively speaking, any magic performed against humans with malicious intent can be called black magic... And black magic doesn't just include spells, it also includes curses attached to objects... These are called black magic items. And attacks from certain dark creatures can also cause damage tainted with black magic curses..."

"Very good answer, Tom. Five points from Slytherin," said Dumbledore with satisfaction.

He turned and wrote the words "malice" and "curse" on the blackboard.

"In the wizarding world, the most notorious dark magic is the three unforgivable curses..."

"The three Unforgivable Curses are Avada Kedavra, the Cruciatus Curse, and the Imperius Curse. It's worth reminding you that these three Unforgivable Curses are absolutely forbidden to be used. As long as the Ministry of Magic knows that someone has used any of these Unforgivable Curses on others, they will be arrested and imprisoned in Azkaban without trial, and will stay there forever..."

The students couldn't help but shudder when they heard Dumbledore's cold tone...

Dumbledore saw that the effect was quite good and continued.

"These three curses can be said to express malice to the fullest. Yes, they all require extremely extreme malice to be cast normally..."

"For example, when casting the Killing Curse, the wizard needs to possess strong hatred. Only if you truly wish the other person to die will the curse take effect... The Cruciatus Curse requires the caster to derive pleasure from torturing the other person for the spell to be effective. In other words, you must truly desire to cause the other person extreme pain for the spell to be effective... The Imperius Curse requires the caster to harbor the malicious intent of completely controlling the other person's freedom..."

For the next half class, Dumbledore focused on the three Unforgivable Curses, explaining the negative effects on the caster, and the tragic consequences for those who were struck by various forms of dark magic...

Dumbledore listed countless detailed examples... He also showed the miserable conditions of those cursed on the slides, and also showed the ugly faces of some dark wizards who had over-cast spells...

Let the students' san value drop wildly!

Dumbledore also emphasized that using dark magic will have a great impact on appearance.

When he said this, many girls couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Even some young witches from pure-blood families, even though they were used to seeing dark magic, could not help but feel a strong resistance to it...

Li Weide was listening with great excitement because he was the one who made all these slides!

Dumbledore sought him out because of the excellent slideshow he made for the Morality class...

Dumbledore's requirement was very simple, which was to fully demonstrate the harm of dark magic, and to make it as exaggerated as possible!

Li Wei De has a lot of materials for this. Those ugly guys under the senior sister's command, any one of them can be taken a photo, and they are all top-notch materials.

As for the materials for the cursed... there are plenty of them in Slytherin's experimental manuscripts!

Now it seems that the effect of his slides can be said to be very good...

Many people who once had some admiration for black magic are now full of resistance.

"In addition, excessive use of black magic can have a very negative impact on a person's mind! It can even cause mental disorder and emotional instability!"

"...In Hampshire, there was a Dark wizard who became insane and delirious due to excessive use of Dark Magic. One afternoon, over a trivial matter, he suddenly went mad and killed his entire family of seven. Eventually, he was captured and imprisoned in Azkaban, where his soul was sucked away by the Dementors..."

As he spoke, Dumbledore turned the projector, and a clipping from the Daily Prophet appeared on the screen. It was reporting this very news...

"And this one. In order to become even more powerful, I performed multiple dangerous black magic transformations... and ended up looking like this."
