The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

The Hufflepuff sighed, "Then ask."

"Why did I become a ghost? How did I die? Where did my body go? What exactly happened back then?" Slytherin asked all the questions in his mind in one breath.

Died in a confused state, and then turned into a ghost in a confused state after sleeping for a thousand years... This is the biggest knot in Slytherin's heart.

"I'm sorry, Salazar, we don't know much about this. You had already left Hogwarts, and the news of your death was brought back by your disciples... We only know that your disciples found you dead when they brought you breakfast that morning. You seemed to be doing research at the time... And the strange thing is, when your disciples and descendants put your body into the coffin and prepared to hold your funeral... your body disappeared... There has been no news since then..."

Slytherin was stunned. He had never expected that after so much trouble, he would meet a close friend, but he still couldn't explain the reason for his death...

"I actually didn't know you'd become a ghost before. It's just that when I came back to England this time and wanted to go back to Hogwarts to reminisce about the past, I ran into Wade at the station... I felt your... Salazar's magic on him. And the boy standing next to Wade - Tom, was obviously your descendant. I thought you weren't dead, and I happened to want to go back to Hogwarts, so I found a way to sneak on the train, intending to get in touch with Wade and Tom. I didn't expect to run into that attack... However, during that attack, I also got more information from Wade and the others... I guess even if Salazar wasn't in Hogwarts, he must have left something behind, so I just came to be the castle warden."

Li Weide suddenly realized, "No wonder when Principal Dippet asked the Aurors to check you, there was no trace of you... It turns out you sneaked onto the train. Moreover, Principal Dippet trusts you so much..."

Dumbledore now understood why Headmaster Dippet told him not to worry about Hufflepuff...

As the most benevolent and philanthropic of the Four Giants, she really had no reason to hurt anyone in Hogwarts...

"Does the senior know your identity?" Li Weide asked.

"She doesn't know. It's best to keep my identity secret... If I hadn't happened to meet Salazar today, I wouldn't have told you." Hufflepuff said, and turned back into Ms. Paris.

"I've been hiding in my Chamber of Secrets...so it's normal that you can't find me." said Slytherin.

"Chamber of Secrets?" Hufflepuff frowned. "I don't remember you leaving behind a Chamber of Secrets at Hogwarts... Wait! Did you build it before you left?"

"Yes..." Slytherin's eyes were a little evasive.

Hufflepuff keenly sensed something was amiss, "So, why did you leave the Chamber of Secrets?"

"No...nothing..."

"No... I still remember the arguments you had with Godric before you left! So... you really left your monster in Hogwarts? In the Chamber of Secrets?" Hufflepuff was rarely angry.

"The basilisk is gone..." Slytherin said angrily.

"Really?"

Afterwards, Slytherin and Hufflepuff briefly explained what had happened before...

"Fortunately, no one was killed... What on earth were you thinking? Are you going to bring down the school you founded?" Hufflepuff said angrily.

Slytherin was speechless. In fact, he also felt wronged. You know, in his era, no one cared if ten or eight wizards were killed.

Who could have imagined that after a thousand years, there would be a Ministry of Magic and things like laws to govern it?

In the past, if someone died in school, it wouldn't affect the school, but now... even if a student died, as long as the cause couldn't be found, Hogwarts would be closed by the Ministry of Magic...

So even if his basilisk wasn't killed, it had already lost its effect...

Then the Hufflepuffs started nagging at the Slytherins again.

After enduring for a while, Slytherin finally couldn't hold it in any longer. "Alright, alright, stop talking. I don't know how many times Levid has said these things to me... No matter what, I still think pure-blooded wizards are more talented! Most of the pure-blood students nowadays have become so stupid because there is something wrong with their bloodline! These idiots have made stupid mistakes, and having children with inbreeding has resulted in each generation being worse than the previous one! Otherwise..."

Li Weide also felt that there was some truth to Slytherin's point of view.

If it weren't for frequent inbreeding that led to each generation being weaker than the previous one, as long as there were talented pure-blood wizards in every generation, and each generation had some accumulation, even if the accumulation was very small, if they had developed to the present, their families would be among the most powerful ones!

Recall that the Li family drove out Grindelwald's messenger, wasn't that the case?

God knows how powerful the foundation accumulated by these large and normally developing families over thousands of years is!

"Okay... I won't say anything about you. To this day, it's a great fortune to meet someone of the same generation, or even a former close friend. Besides, you have changed now, haven't you? Otherwise, you would not have been able to accept Tom's child." Hufflepuff said softly.

"Alas..." Slytherin sighed softly, took out a stick of incense and lit it. After taking a deep puff of the incense, he fell into memories of the past.

"call out!"

Suddenly, a green shadow streaked across the sky...

Then the senior sister appeared in front of everyone gorgeously!

Her originally pale cheeks now had some color.

Once she was freed, running could not express her joy, only flying could!

So, she directly used the flying spell she had secretly learned from Levid, and soared happily for a long time!

"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long." The senior student said, adjusting her glasses again.

Li Weide said: "We weren't actually waiting for you, we just happened to..."

The senior student's smile suddenly disappeared when she heard this. She ignored Levid and came to Hufflepuff, now Ms. Paris.

"Do you remember my friends? How many are still alive? Where have the living gone? And where are the graves of the dead?"

Ms. Paris took the senior's hand and patted it gently. "I will take you to see them. I know the whereabouts of most of them."

"Okay..." Thinking about how things and people have changed, the senior sister's originally cheerful mood became much lower.

She walked up to Li Weide again and handed him a small silver plate. "The conditions I promised you before are still valid. I hand over the workshop and this plate to you. From now on, those people will only obey your orders..."

"Happy transaction." Li Weide took the small sign happily.

"Deal? Maybe you think so, but I'm different from you. Strictly speaking, I still owe you a big favor." The senior student said solemnly.

The meaning of her words was very clear. That is, if Li Weide had any problems in the future, he could still come to her directly as before, but she would not say these words so clearly.

"Okay, senior sister... Well, actually, do you think it's a bit strange that both the professor and I call you senior sister?" Li Weide asked.

"What's so strange about this? I'm your senior... Besides, I don't want to lose my name. It's my fault." The senior frowned.

"Hiss... Actually, there is something I have wanted to say for a long time..." said Li Weide.

"What else do you want to say?"

"Since your original name has been lost... why don't you choose a new name?" Li Weide blinked his "innocent" eyes and looked at the senior student quietly.

The senior sister's figure suddenly froze...

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask..."

"You won't tell me if I don't ask you!"

"I...how do I know you didn't expect it if you didn't ask me?"

Chapter 374: Give up all the trustworthy people for the sake of a few untrustworthy people?

"Then please give me a name." The senior student didn't say anything more to Li Weide, but made this request.

Li Weide asked doubtfully, "Why do you want me to choose a name?"

The people present, whether Dumbledore, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin, were all knowledgeable people.

Logically speaking, I shouldn't ask a little kid like me (my physical age), who's only in the third grade, to help her choose a name...

"Please help me pick one. Just don't make it too ugly." The senior student didn't explain, but just insisted.

Levid scratched his head and looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded and smiled, "You've already accomplished something as difficult as saving people, so you might as well give them more names."

Ms. Paris looked at him encouragingly.

Li Weide scratched his head. "I'm just worried that I'm not well-educated enough to come up with a bad name, and then she'll blame me..."

"Ha, you've been smart all your life, but now you're confused..." Slytherin shook his head repeatedly.

Li Weide looked at him in confusion, and then he remembered the name.

She never talked about her senior sister's origins, and there was not much introduction to the previous game.

Therefore, Li Weide's deepest understanding of her is her superb nightmare magic.

He can travel through other people's dreams to weave stories, create illusions to confuse others, and roam the outside world with his consciousness, mastering the boundary between dreams and reality... elegant and dangerous, like a dream god...

"Hmm... in that case, you should be called Miravia. The Latin word mirare means phantom... The Greek word oneiros means dream... put them together and it's Miravia... what do you think?"

"Well... let's make do with it. From now on, my name will be Miravia." Although the senior student forced herself to look expressionless, the slightly raised corners of her mouth proved that she was actually very satisfied with the name.

"As for the last name..."

"That's not necessary. Just a name will do..." Miravia said to Ms. Paris, "I'll come see you later, and then... go see my friends."

"And you now?" asked Ms. Paris.

"Now... let me get familiar with this world again. Use another perspective..." Miravia said softly.

Levid said, "Goodbye then. We should go back... maybe we can still make it to the Care of Magical Creatures class this afternoon."

"Goodbye then, thank you for your name. By the way, I will take these things I lent you to the workshop later." Miravia said.

"Okay..." Li Weide hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say?"

"Then let me tell you... well... you've actually come out, haven't you? You didn't use nightmare magic to confuse us, did you?"

Miravia's face darkened instantly, "You..."

She wanted to curse a few words, but she suppressed it in the end.

"If even the current me can still deceive you, then all the nightmare magic I've taught you for so long is really in vain! Also... can you really trust someone for once?"

……

Hogwarts.

In Dumbledore's office, the flames in the fireplace suddenly turned green.

Then the figures of Dumbledore and Levid walked out of the fireplace.

In the end, only Dumbledore and Lewd returned to Hogwarts.

After all, "Ms. Paris" was still a little worried about her good friend and decided to stay with her for a while.

As for Slytherin, he reunited with his old friends from many years ago and didn't want to leave just yet.

Although his ideas were the most different from Hufflepuff's back then, that was all in the past.

As Hufflepuff said before, it's a miracle that we can still meet people of the same generation after so many years.

"Lucifer, are you sure you have dismantled all the arrangements just now?" asked Li Weide.

"Of course! I've already collected all the scattered flames! Without energy support, those arrangements will be useless."

Lucifer said as he landed on Levid's head, making it look like Levid's head was on fire.

Li Weide grabbed it, took out an oil lamp, stuffed it in, and hung it around his waist.

Dumbledore looked at the cursing flame curiously.

"Is this... the Gublai fairy fire?"

"Yes... it's, well, it's hard to explain. I don't know how, but all of a sudden, it started talking." Li Weide didn't know how to explain it either, so he could only attribute it all to the magic, to the randomness of the magic...

Dumbledore looked at Levid with a smile, "Haha, that's really amazing. Your cat is the same, it suddenly knows everything, and your Gupla Fairy Fire is the same, it suddenly can speak..."

"Yes, magic is really amazing..." Li Weide said without blushing or beating his heart.

Dumbledore did not say much on this issue, but took the initiative to change the subject.

"The name you just came up with is actually quite nice. Drawing inspiration from Latin and Greek... If you're like that and still claim to be uneducated, what will happen to the others?"

"Uh... really?" Levid originally wanted to leave, but seeing Dumbledore's expression, it seemed that he was planning to chat with him for a few more words?

Sure enough, Dumbledore asked him to sit down and brought out some desserts and drinks.

"These were all made by that lady herself. After eating the food and drinks she made, I don't know how to accept food made by others..." Dumbledore said with emotion.

"Yeah..." Li Weide felt the same way about this sentence.

Perhaps it was because Hufflepuffs had a deep understanding of soul magic, so she knew better than anyone else the favorite flavor of each person's soul.

Therefore, the food she made, even the most ordinary baked potato, could make people feel delicious from the depths of their souls...

"Actually... what Miravia said just now is correct. Wade, you can actually try to trust some people... I'm not asking you to let down your guard from now on. In today's world, it's right for you to be vigilant, but too much is as bad as too little... I'm worried that you will hurt the hearts of those around you in the future." After a little preparation, Dumbledore directly stated the purpose of the conversation.

"I will slowly adjust my habit..." Li Weide nodded.

Dumbledore added, "You must have been wondering why Miravia insisted on you choosing a name for her."

"Yeah...indeed." Li Weide nodded. He was indeed very confused. Before naming someone, he thought about it for a long time, just to figure out whether naming someone would bring about any curse...

The more he understood the magical world, the more cautious Li Weide became.
