The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

I could only send a letter through Owl, and then tactfully mentioned that I wanted to find some information about the senior, and then asked for her name in the letter.

After his conversation with Dumbledore last night, it was completely reasonable for him to want to look up information about his senior.

I think Dumbledore would not have any doubts about this.

At this moment, Tom in the bed opposite finally woke up.

He rubbed his head hard and climbed up with difficulty, even his eyes were bloodshot.

"Ah, my head hurts... What! It's already past ten o'clock?! Hiss... Why do I feel like I've been hit by a coma spell?!"

Li Weide turned his head silently, took the towel and washbasin on the table, and pretended not to see Tom get up.

Tom's eyes instantly locked onto Li Weide, and he asked suspiciously, "Did you use the Stunning Spell on me again?"

"Why do you have such a strange idea?" Li Weide asked with a puzzled look.

"I never get up later than eight o'clock every morning. And... if I sleep normally, I never have a headache when I wake up! You should know when was the last time I woke up with a headache!" Tom stared at Li Weide closely.

"Tom, we've been through so much together, isn't that enough to earn your trust even once? It really makes me sad..."

"You bastard! It's you! I'm going to fight you!"

Chapter 57: How to Keep Nagini Conscious

Dorset.

At Scamander's house.

"Is this really Nagini?" Newt looked at the miniature snake in front of him that was in a coma.

"Yes, I checked, and this is indeed Nagini. She was subdued by one of my students and then reduced to her current size using Transfiguration." Dumbledore nodded.

Newt looked at the dark green scale in his hand. It was the same one that Dumbledore had picked up in the sewer.

Based on his years of research on magical animals, he could easily imagine how huge a snake would have to be to have such a large scale.

But now, such a big snake has been transformed into such a small size.

"This student of yours is really powerful... I thought you did it yourself." Newt sighed.

"My student is a little special, let's not talk about it for now. Now, we should think about how to place her." Dumbledore looked at Nagini with concern.

"Nagini is a blood-cursed orc. Although she has completely transformed into a beast, we can't just leave her alone." Newt raised his head with a firm gaze.

Dumbledore nodded, but then added, "The Transfiguration that shrunk her may wear off soon... Are you sure?"

A shrunken Nagini is harmless, but if the Transfiguration wears off and she returns to her original size, she will become extremely dangerous.

Newt said, "Let's try to wake her up first. I need to see what her personality is like and then formulate a plan... Don't worry, I have a lot of experience in dealing with dangerous magical creatures."

Suddenly, Nagini on the table moved.

Newt quickly asked, "Has the Transfiguration spell failed?"

Dumbledore took a look and said, "No, it must be the time when the Stunning Spell I added later ran out."

At this time, Nagini on the table had fully woken up.

She raised her snake head, looked at her body in confusion, and then looked at the surrounding environment.

After seeing Newt and Dumbledore, she suddenly became excited.

"Hiss..."

"She seems to be saying something to us..." Newt turned to Dumbledore excitedly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Nagini should be awake now!"

Dumbledore nodded. "I can understand some of it. She said she is now conscious... Yes, I once learned some Parseltongue out of curiosity."

"You are truly knowledgeable, Professor," Newt said admiringly. "Um, what is she talking about now?"

Although Newt is a master of magical creatures, he can usually guess what magical creatures want to express based on their actions or calls.

But he still couldn't translate the animals' words accurately.

Dumbledore listened to Nagini's voice again, then turned around, took a piece of parchment and a bottle of ink, and placed them in front of Nagini.

When Nagini saw the ink, she put her tail into the ink bottle and began to write crookedly on the parchment.

After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of Dumbledore and Newt.

"You mean that by remaining in your present state you can remain conscious?" asked Dumbledore.

Nagini spit out her tongue and nodded slowly. Then she started writing on the paper with her tail again.

"As the beast's body weakened, the beast's soul also weakened, so your consciousness as a human took over? Hiss... Even the soul was weakened, can Transfiguration have such an effect?" Newt looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

Dumbledore fell into deep thought. As a master of Transfiguration, he naturally knew very well that ordinary Transfiguration could not reach this level and could not affect the soul.

In other words... is this a characteristic of ancient magic?

Levid used the ancient magic of Transfiguration to shrink Nagini to this size.

Otherwise, even if Levid was a genius in transfiguration, he would not be able to successfully make Nagini so small.

In other words, if the ancient magic-powered transformation technique is used on humans or animals, it can greatly weaken all the opponent's attributes, including physical and soul attributes.

The situation of the blood-cursed orc Nagini is actually equivalent to having two souls in one body, one is her soul as a human, and the other is the beast soul produced by the curse.

As she grew older, the beast soul grew stronger, and when the beast soul became stronger than the human soul, Nagini could no longer turn back into a human.

And now, when Nagini was still controlled by the beast soul, Levid directly performed an ancient magic transformation on her.

This transformation not only weakened her physical attributes, but also weakened the soul attributes of the beast soul that was controlling her body at the time. In this way, the human soul, which had always been at a disadvantage, temporarily became stronger than the beast soul. Therefore, Nagini was able to wake up in this size.

After thinking it all through, Dumbledore finally smiled.

"Perhaps, we have finally found a way to temporarily curb the onset of the Blood Curse of the Blood Curse Orcs..."

Newt asked doubtfully, "Just by Transfiguration?"

"No, ordinary Transfiguration probably won't work." Dumbledore smiled.

"And unusual Transfiguration?"

"Yes... very unusual! Well, I will explain this to you later. Now that I have found a solution, I will take Nagini away first." Dumbledore stood up.

Newt nodded. "Alright, you can write to me later. Right now, saving lives is the most important thing."

Dumbledore nodded, then picked up the cage and opened the door. "Please come in first. I have found a way to help you temporarily curb the blood curse."

Nagini nodded happily and slowly climbed into the cage.

Dumbledore closed the cage door and was about to leave when suddenly an owl flew in from the window.

The owl landed on the table, looked at Dumbledore, and dropped the letter in its beak in front of him.

Dumbledore picked up the letter and immediately saw the familiar handwriting of Levid.

A smile appeared on Dumbledore's face, and he opened the letter and began to read.

"Ah... so you want to see the information, and by the way, you want to know the name of that senior..."

Dumbledore stopped talking halfway, and his smiling face became full of doubt and uncertainty!

……

The Hog's Head Pub.

Livid put down the quill, picked up the parchment, blew the ink on it dry, and then tapped the parchment lightly with his wand.

The next second, the parchment turned into a butterfly. The butterfly took off, circled around Li Weide's head, flew out of the window, and flew towards the attic...

Tom was lying on the bed. After seeing Levid's fancy transformation, he turned his head away with disdain.

But when he turned his head too violently, the injury on his body was affected, causing him to grimace in pain.

Facts have proved that if you rashly fight with Li Weide when you are not strong enough, you will have to pay a price.

This time, not only was my whole body aching, but I was also punished by not being allowed to read any spell books for the entire day...

This wave is really a blood loss!

Tom could only lie quietly in bed, summarizing his experience of failure, and then imagining how to defeat Li Weide...

After a while, a thousand paper cranes made of parchment flew down from the attic, landed in front of Li Weide, and then opened automatically.

There was a line of words written on the paper.

"I'll keep it a secret for you. Also, thank you for saving me and Nagini... Oh, and that's a beautiful Transfiguration! —Aurelius."

Li Weide burned the note happily, then turned to look at Tom.

"After reflecting on this for so long, do you know you're wrong?"

"I know..." Tom said unwillingly.

"What's wrong?"

"You're going too far!" Tom couldn't help it again.

"A servant cannot contradict his master..."

Just as Li Weide continued to bully Tom, suddenly, a long-lost voice sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully stopping Nagini's evil fall, and saving those who would die in Nagini's mouth in the future!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5000 merit points!"

Li Weide:?

Chapter 58 The Mysterious Disappearance of Names

Stopped Nagini's fall? How did I stop it?

Levid was a little confused. It seemed that he just used a transformation spell on Nagini to shrink her.

Everything after that will be left to Dumbledore...

Could it be that Dumbledore killed Nagini?

But how is this possible? Dumbledore wouldn't do that...

Li Weide pondered for a moment.

Tom over there was ready to be "bullied" by Li Weide again.

But, I don’t know what happened, this guy suddenly stopped talking.

However, Li Weide's silence was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't say anything else and hoped that Li Weide would never speak again!

At this time, Li Weide, who couldn't think of the answer, decided not to worry about it. After all, the large amount of merit points he received proved that he was doing a good thing.

Moreover, if you want to know where Nagini is, you can just ask Dumbledore and you won’t have to think too much about it.

After Li Weide stopped worrying about it, he felt happier and let go of Tom, who was still a little nervous.

"It's already past ten o'clock, why are you still lying down? Shouldn't you get up early and read? You're at the age of striving, how can you sleep?"

Tom looked at Li Weide in bewilderment, "It's not...it's not you who forbids me from reading the spell book..."

"Eh? You don't want to read because you're lazy. You should look for the reason within yourself. How can you blame me? I don't allow you to read the spell book, but can't you read other books? For example, Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology and the like? Alas, the kids nowadays..." Levid said as he left the room shaking his head.

Tom stared at Li Weide's back in amazement.

You bastard...it was you who punished me by not allowing me to read!

Also, if it weren’t for your coma spell, how could I have slept until after ten o’clock?

How did it suddenly become my fault for being lazy? How shameless of you!

However, Tom just opened his mouth and couldn't say anything in the end.

Forget it... At least that bastard Wade said so, so I can study again...

I can't beat you now...but one day, I want you to feel the pain I'm feeling now!

……

Levid was just about to go out with his toiletries when he ran into Dumbledore carrying a familiar cage.

"professor?"
