The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"I'm just worried you might kill yourself," Miravia said.

"No, I just spent ten minutes and fully understood how to use this car..." Li Weide sat in the driver's seat.

Now, Li Weide is almost fifteen years old and is growing quite fast, so after sitting in the car, he did not encounter the embarrassing situation of not being able to step on the accelerator and brake because his legs were too short.

"Start!" Li Weide said, turning the key.

however……

The car just made a crackling sound but wouldn't start.

Li Weide was slightly stunned, then continued to try.

However, after wasting five or six minutes, Li Weide still couldn't start the engine...

"Haha...you totally understand how to use it, right?" Miravia teased.

"It shouldn't be..."

This time, even though Levid's face was thicker than the walls of Hogwarts Castle, he couldn't bear it anymore.

"Ahem..." Levid coughed dryly and took out his wand.

"Do Muggles also need to use wands to start the car?" Miravia said with a joking smile.

"Ah? Oh! Of course not... I just wanted to check the car..."

Li Weide now has some doubts as to whether he has bought inferior goods.

However, when he glanced at the dashboard, he looked out of the car window in astonishment.

"Oh...Tom...please don't tell me you forgot to refuel!"

Tom Cat was shocked, then he took out a large bottle of gasoline from the box.

It unscrewed the cap and poured gas into the tank, grinning with its teeth bared.

"You see, they are the ones who are so deceptive. I just know that there is nothing wrong with my operation!" Li Weide quickly tried to save face.

Miravia could only offer a polite smile at this.

With the gas filled up, Li Weide started the car easily this time.

The main driving method of a classic car is actually not much different from that of later cars, but some operations such as shifting gears are very different.

However, the car finally started to move slowly and steadily in the open space...

Miravia looked out of the car window with a look of curiosity.

"It's so slow, can you go faster?"

"Well... I'll try my best... after all, it's my first time driving." Li Weide carefully changed gears according to the driving instructions.

"Didn't you say you knew exactly how to drive a car?"

"Oh...of course, I mean, of course I completely understand."

"Then your speed won't work either."

"No? Sit still!"

"boom!"

As Li Weide stepped on the accelerator, the car rushed out of the garden gate...

Only Tom Cat and the other three were left there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

Tom Cat spread his hands towards his two friends.

We haven't gotten on the bus yet!

Chapter 425 Beautiful lady, please hold my gear lever tightly

The classic cars of this era were not very fast, so Li Weide quickly took control of the car.

Then, just before hitting a big tree, the car successfully turned a beautiful corner and drove back to the open space in front of the castle.

"Isn't it time you told me what you bought this toy for?" Miravia said softly, looking out the car window.

"Oh? How do you know I didn't buy this for fun? What if I saw Tom's house had one and wanted one too?" Li Weide said as he continued driving the car, maintaining the speed and circling in the open space.

"If you were just doing this for fun, you wouldn't be so anxious... You just came back yesterday, but you got the car overnight. It must have taken a lot of effort... If you're so anxious, it would be strange if you didn't have some evil ideas in your mind." Miravia laughed.

Livid nodded. "You are right, Miravia. I told you before that Dumbledore will come to see me in the near future. That's because he wants to take me to visit an elder, and this elder likes these things..."

"He likes Muggle cars?" Miravia asked in confusion.

"Of course he likes it. The cars in his family's collection are definitely much more valuable than what I can buy on the market now... So, of course I can't just give him a car." Li Weide said with a smile.

Miravia smiled and said, "So you're planning on modifying it?"

"Yes, modify it." Li Weide nodded.

"Are you sure this is really legal?" Miravia said, "What if it's not legal...if Dumbledore sees this modified car, you'll go from being a good kid to a bad kid."

"You're right, but... there are still loopholes in the Ministry of Magic's laws regarding the modification of magical items, so... there's no need to worry at all!" Levid said with a smile.

The Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Act was enacted in 1760, but it was only enacted in response to the phenomenon of wizards abusing magic to trick Muggles.

This was just a ban that was ignored. Although the Ministry of Magic had set up a department to prohibit the misuse of Muggle artifacts, it was a veritable empty office...

The most important thing to do is some simple post-processing work.

For example, if a Muggle's nose is bitten by a teacup, they are responsible for clearing the memory and destroying the teacup...

So far, the Ministry of Magic staff who have been assigned to work in this department are all marginalized people with no future.

Therefore, given the lack of manpower, it is actually difficult for them to control the problem of wizards modifying Muggle items... It should be said that even if they want to, they can't.

And...how strict can you expect such a group of lazy employees to be in supervising the prohibition of misuse of Muggle items?

As far as Li Weide knew, it was not until the Muggle Protection Act was introduced in 1992 that the functions of this department were expanded and then systematically supervised the modification of Muggle items.

But now... Mr. Weasley, who pushed for departmental reforms and formulated the Muggle Protection Act, hasn't been born yet.

In this context, coupled with Levid's personality of liking to research and transform, even if Dumbledore saw the modified car, he would not be too dissatisfied.

In fact, Levid didn't believe that Nicolas Flamel would be able to resist taking these Muggle vehicles apart and taking a look after purchasing them.

Now that you have opened it and seen it, how can you resist giving it a try?

Well... it's the real "magic modification".

As an alchemist himself, Li Weide understands alchemists' preferences too well.

If that were the case, he would have to come up with some new tricks that Nicolas Flamel had never thought of.

Even if Nicolas Flamel had made the same transformation, it would be fine...

Rather, that would be better!

Because in that case, they will naturally have more topics to talk about!

Having more topics to talk about is the beginning of a closer relationship!

"Okay, then, how do you want to change it? You know, I know a little bit about alchemy." Miravia hinted at Li Weide with her eyes.

Li Weide stopped the car immediately, then turned around and looked at Miravia sincerely, "Please help me..."

The senior sister was very capable, and the key was that she wasn't difficult to coax at all. So, of course, Li Weide knew what to say.

"Hmm..." Miravia smoothed her hair with satisfaction. "Of course I'll help you, but I can only offer some advice... The specific steps are up to you. You should know that your elder probably doesn't want to see traces of another alchemist on the modified car."

Li Weide looked at Miravia in shock. This senior wanted him to be grateful to her but didn't want to put in any effort!

However, she was not without reason.

Since you want this gift to be meaningful, it is necessary to polish it yourself!

"Then let's pull the car to the laboratory and work together with the research puppets!" Li Weide said with a smile.

It seems that he gained Nicolas Flamel's favor through his own efforts, but in fact, all the conscious beings in the laboratory were working for Levid alone.

With everyone working together, the results are naturally much more comprehensive than those produced by Nicolas Flamel's imagination alone.

As long as most of the functions are modified, Nicolas Flamel will definitely like it.

……

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

Dumbledore had not arrived yet, but Levitra had already completed the preliminary modification of the car.

The car was moved to the open space again.

Looking at the car in front of her, which seemed to be no different from before, Miravia was also a little confused.

"Although I only gave you some advice and didn't help you personally...but you're not kidding me, are you? Have you really changed?"

"Of course, why don't you give it a try?" Li Weide stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

Miravia hesitantly approached the car.

"Crack!"

The passenger door opened automatically, and then a magnetic voice came from inside the car...

"Delaman is at your service. Welcome. Please get in the car."

Miravia was stunned for a moment, "You added a consciousness to the car?"

"Yes, I named it Delaman. You know, with a conscious body, it can achieve autonomous driving." Li Weide smiled. "Do you want to sit in the driver's seat and try the autonomous driving function?"

Miravia just felt very curious. She actually changed direction and sat in the driver's seat...

As the car door was closed.

"Ding Dong! Welcome aboard! The engine has been started for you. Would you like Draman's professional guidance and then enjoy the driving pleasure? Or would you like Draman to take control of the car and activate the automatic driving function?"

Li Weide also sat in the co-pilot seat at this time.

Miravia suddenly said, "I choose to drive myself, and you give me guidance."

"Okay, Delaman will provide you with professional guidance. Please follow Delaman's instructions strictly." Delaman's voice sounded again. "Please note that improper driving will bring tears to your loved ones..."

"Ah? You want to drive yourself?" Li Weide was surprised and asked quickly.

"Yes! You can learn it in ten minutes. It probably won't be difficult. And with the professional guidance of the consciousness you set up, I believe I can master it quickly." Miravia said happily.

Li Weide hesitated to speak, and finally fastened his newly added seat belt silently...

Merlin, please don't damage the car too much...

"Okay, please tell me, what should I do first?" Miravia asked.

"Since the engine has started, the first step is to step on the clutch and brake..." Delaman's voice sounded again.

"and then?"

"Beautiful lady, the second step is of course to hold my gear lever tightly...ah...yes, this one...please hold it tighter, um...please move it a little higher, so that I can feel it more...then rub it down hard...I mean, move it!"

Li Weide's eyelids twitched and cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he listened.

No! This consciousness was so serious just now, why does it feel like something is wrong now?

What went wrong?!

Shit! It must be a soul mark problem!

Miravia turned to look at Li Weide and asked suspiciously, "Why do I feel that this is a bit strange?"

"What's strange about that?" Li Weide wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Aren't I teaching you how to drive?"

……

While Li Weide was wiping his cold sweat, the car finally started moving.

Although there are always some bumps while driving...but for a novice, it is already very good...

At least it didn't stall...

"How do we speed up?" Miravia asked.

"Speeding up is easy, beautiful lady... just step on my... accelerator harder!"

"Huh? Where? Here?"
