The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Tom looked at the ghost in surprise. "Isn't this the ghost of our college, the Bloody Baron? How did he appear here?"

A smile appeared on Li Weide's face. "Guess?"

Tom shut up decisively.

At this time, the Bloody Baron floated in front of Peeves.

"Ah! It's the respected Lord Barrow! Excuse me, Lord Barrow, since you've come so late at night, is there anything I can do for you?"

Peeves' legs went weak when he saw the Bloody Baron.

The Bloody Baron is Peeves' nemesis. For some reason, he is particularly afraid of this ghost.

"Get out of the way," said the Bloody Baron coldly.

"Yes, sir!" Peeves ran away as if he had been pardoned. He ran through the wall of the corridor.

After Peeves disappeared, the Bloody Baron also disappeared in Tom's surprised eyes.

"This...what's going on? How can a ghost disappear on the spot? Wait..." Tom finally figured out why.

This is a fake Barrow! In other words, this is an illusion created by Li Weide!

Tom finally understood why Abraxas and the others suddenly left in such panic on the train.

It must be Li Weide who made them see something they didn’t want to see!

This time, Li Weide also enveloped himself in the range of illusion, allowing himself to see the Bloody Baron, which was a warning!

"Click..."

While Tom was still lost in thought, Li Weide had already unlocked the library door...

Tom hurried after him.

After they went in, Li Weide suddenly turned his head and looked outside the door.

He looked suspiciously at the corridor behind him, but there was nothing there.

Li Weide just felt like something was staring at him and Tom...

After a moment's silence, Levid knocked on the door with his wand.

Then the library door closed automatically, and the door lock was locked again.

Tom suddenly felt his vision blurry again, and then he found that the door of the library was still open!

In other words, what he saw just now was still an illusion!

Tom was sure that if anyone had come closer they would have seen the library door locked.

You won't realize that the door has actually been opened...

From this we can see that Li Weide was indeed well prepared, every step was logical, and almost all possibilities of being discovered were considered.

Suddenly, Tom thought of something, that is, was his joining also part of Li Weide’s plan?

Otherwise...why would he prepare a spell like the Whispering Charm in advance?

"How on earth did you do that?" Tom asked. "I've never seen anything like it."

"This is my most valuable skill. Do you want to learn it?" Li Weide asked.

"You want to teach me?" Tom asked excitedly.

"You wish! Will you hand over your most valuable possession to me?" Li Weide said coldly.

"Of course! I will teach you very carefully!" Tom said firmly.

"Haha, have you forgotten that I was the one who taught you your so-called ultimate skill?"

Tom was silenced by Li Weide's words.

In fact, his most powerful skill was indeed learned from Li Weide...

Why is the gap between people so huge?

Li Weide threw a black glove over. "This glove is very sensitive to magic. Before you open the book, put on the glove and touch the cover. If the glove reacts violently, it means that the book contains powerful black magic. Do not open it. As far as I know, the kind of book you are looking for can be said to be a historical secret, which is not likely to contain powerful magic."

Tom looked at the glove in surprise. He had heard before that many of the banned books in the restricted area contained strong curses.

If you open it rashly, you might be cursed...

And now, with this glove detection, safety is guaranteed to the greatest extent!

"Where did you get these gloves? They are so useful." Tom asked in surprise.

"I found it at a junk shop." Li Weide said casually.

He couldn't possibly tell Tom that this was one of the few remaining magical items of the Somleno family...

"Be careful. I don't want to carry you to the school hospital in the middle of the night for help..."

"I see..." Tom said weakly.

After dealing with Tom, Li Weide decided to end the battle quickly.

The strange feeling just now made him alert.

But the arrow has been drawn into the string, and it is impossible to turn back now.

That would only alert the enemy.

So, Li Weide quietly changed his plan.

Tonight he would pretend to look through the banned book, and then, when he passed by the place the senior student mentioned, he would take a quick look to see if the notebook was still there.

After all, so many years have passed.

Wait until you see the notebook and then find time to pick it up later!

It was right to bring Tom along. To a certain extent, Tom's presence could also effectively conceal one's true purpose.

When it comes to ancient magic, Li Weide dare not be careless at all...

Even when fighting, if you can use nightmare magic, then use nightmare magic.

While thinking, Li Weide used various spells that dazzled Tom to smash the red cordon in front of the restricted area with an expressionless face.

However, this cordon does not seem to have any protective magic.

Behind the cordon is the restricted books area. Not far from the cordon is a long staircase leading to the lower level of the library...

In fact, the restricted book area is divided into several levels. The restricted book area on the first level is actually not that dangerous.

But starting from the next level, everything becomes dangerous.

And according to the senior sister's introduction, there seems to be ghosts helping to guard each floor...

Therefore, the disillusionment spell on the two of them cannot be lifted.

The sleepless ghost is indeed the best guard...

However, under Levid's nightmare magic, these ghost guards are not a problem.

All you need to do is create a little illusion for them and cloud their senses.

The ghost had long lost the magic power it had as a wizard, so Levid's nightmare magic could still deal with it.

"Okay, let's look for it separately." Li Weide said.

Tom knew that Li Weide didn't want him to know what book he was looking for.

But he didn't care. Who doesn't have their own little secret?

Tom nodded, indicating that he understood, and then started looking from the first floor.

Li Weide went straight to the next floor.

On the first floor below ground, there is also a reception desk for the librarian, similar to the one on the first floor.

As soon as Li Weide entered the door, he saw a ghost sitting at the front desk reading a book.

Li Weide raised his wand, and the ghost's eyes immediately became confused...

Li Weide walked past him carefully and came to the rows of bookshelves at the back!

Hogwarts is worthy of its thousand-year-old heritage, and its collection of banned books is countless.

In comparison, the public books on the first floor can be said to be just the tip of the iceberg of the Hogwarts Library...

According to the plan, Li Weide did not go straight to the location of the notebook at the beginning.

Instead, he put on a glove and began to slowly feel his way across the bookshelf...

When Li Weide comes across interesting and captivating books, he will pick them up and read them.

It’s like they are really just students who come to the restricted area to take a peek at banned books.

Time passed minute by minute.

Li Weide also came from the basement floor to the basement floor.

Finally, he slowly approached the bookshelf that the senior student had described in detail.

Bookshelf sign 3-5-5-1, counting from the bottom, third column, far right...

Li Weide touched it with his gloves as usual.

It soon stopped at the far right side of the bookshelf.

He paused, then took out a book from inside and started reading it with an expressionless face.

And right next to this book, there is a mark...

Although Li Weide looked expressionless on the surface, his heart was surging.

Because the senior’s notebook disappeared!

This is actually not a strange thing. After all, the senior sister has been away from Hogwarts for so many years.

Even if the notebook is lost, it is not too strange...

However, judging from the dust marks left on the bookshelf, the notebook was actually taken away recently!

In this case, Li Weide had no choice but to think about it.

It had always been there before, and I just found out the location from my senior, and it was taken away immediately?

How is this going?

Li Weide had a lot of thoughts in his mind. After pretending to flip through many other books, he quietly retreated.

At this time, Tom was sitting by the window on the first floor, staring out blankly.

In front of him, a pitch-black book was spread out.

"Tom, we should go."

"Vade... I found it."

"what?"

"Gaunt, my mother's last name..." Tom's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Although I don't know who my father is, my mother's relatives... are descendants of Slytherin! In other words, I'm not a Mudblood, and I do have Slytherin's blood flowing in my body!"

"When the holidays come, I'll go look for the Gaunts... maybe someone from my mother's side is still alive. Wade, will you come with me?"

Li Weide nodded. "Then go... But you have to understand, if your mother's relatives are still alive, but your mother still died tragically in front of the orphanage, what does that mean? I suggest that you don't have preconceived notions about your mother's relatives that are too beautiful!"

Li Weide's words were like a bucket of cold water, poured on Tom's burning heart.

However, he had to admit that what Li Weide said made sense.

If his mother's family was good enough, how could his mother collapse in rags at the door of an orphanage while pregnant?

Chapter 75 I would rather jump off the tower than drink your potion!

"But I have to face it..." Tom said, "It would have been fine if I didn't know before, but now that I finally got a clue, I can't just do nothing."

Li Weide smiled and said, "So, I support you going. I just want to remind you to be mentally prepared. There are many impoverished pure-blood families who may live worse than beggars. Even the descendants of Slytherin."

Tom nodded, then asked, "Let's not talk about my business anymore. Let's talk about yours. Did you find your things?"

The smile on Li Weide's face disappeared, "Something unexpected happened..."

Tom was a little surprised. It was the first time he saw Li Weide get nothing after making a detailed plan.
