The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Levander and Tom walked up immediately. Both of them knew that Professor Slughorn obviously looked at them differently.

Who knows, this professor might become a great help to them in school in the future, so catering to him is also for future planning.

To put it bluntly, they couldn't let the teacher sit there in silence. Furthermore, the two of them had a vague idea of ​​what the teacher was planning to do.

Sure enough, when Levitra and Tom finished writing, Professor Slughorn said excitedly, "All correct! I have to give you both 20 points each!"

Li Weide and Tom looked at each other and thought, "As expected! With so many points deducted, I have to find more opportunities to make up for them!"

Chapter 76 Tom: Tell me, who do you want to harm this time?

Professor Slughorn had just announced the bonus points, and the Gryffindor students were already getting restless.

At this point, even a fool would understand what Professor Slughorn meant.

Immediately, a Gryffindor girl with pigtails raised her hand and said, "Professor, since you haven't announced the answer yet, why don't we give it a try?"

"Haha, Miss McLaggen, this little test of mine not only tests your preparation, but also your courage. Since Mr. Lee and Mr. Riddle raised their hands first and answered correctly first, they are the winners. Since you were so confident, why didn't you raise your hands first?"

Professor Slughorn's words silenced the Gryffindor students.

Are they saying that the courage of Gryffindors is not as good as that of two Slytherins?

What a shame!

The troublemakers on the Gryffindor side looked at Levitra and the others with somewhat dangerous eyes.

Li Weide and Tom both ignored their thorny gazes.

Gryffindor and Slytherin never got along, so hostility between them was inevitable.

Anyway, beating Slytherin is the same as beating Gryffindor, so what's the difference?

Slughorn then announced the answer and spread out Levitra and Tom's notes for everyone to see.

Sure enough, their answers were the same as Professor Slughorn's.

"Come, Wade, Tom, come up and receive the gift I give you." Professor Slughorn took out two small glass bottles from his pocket.

Two glass bottles, each containing a small drop of golden liquid...

Tom looked at the liquid in the bottle with some suspicion, and was about to say something but stopped himself.

"Professor, this is too valuable!" said Li Weide.

"Oh? It seems that you also know what this potion is?" Professor Slughorn asked happily.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Felicity Potion," Li Weide said. "That's really too expensive. We just passed a small test, it's not worth it..."

"No, you are worthy." Professor Slughorn smiled and said, "I have taught many students. Although you are still young, I dare say that you will be the best among them. My vision has always been very accurate... So, I think you need more encouragement!"

Professor Slughorn has always been very confident in his own judgment. As long as he has high hopes for a student, no one will be ordinary after graduation.

And Li Weide and Tom gave him an even stronger feeling!

Whether it was their passion for Potions or their courage and strength to fight against a larger force at such a young age, it all showed that these two students were no ordinary people.

The most important thing is that even Professor Slughorn felt the hostility of other Slytherin students and Gryffindor students towards them.

However, the two children remained fearless, which was undoubtedly even more precious.

So, when he asked them to come up and receive the gift, he quietly replaced the original prize with a precious lucky potion.

For Slughorn, discovering these students with outstanding talents and bringing them into his circle is his greatest hobby.

After all, these students who are very fond of him and extremely talented will become part of his deep network of contacts after graduation, no matter what career they choose!

……

Felix Felicis is also known as the Luck Potion, so even students with the least interest in Potions have heard of this potion.

So, when the students heard that the prize was the elixir of life, they all looked at Li Weide and Tom with envy.

On the Gryffindor side, several students had an upset look on their faces, including Miss McLaggen.

They all felt that if they had not hesitated just now, this lucky elixir might have been theirs!

Having said that, Li Weide and Tom had no choice but to accept it.

After expressing their gratitude, they all happily returned to their seats.

Although Li Weide had exchanged a bottle of Felicity Potion in the system, who would think that such a precious potion was too little?

Tom was so excited that he felt all his sleepiness was swept away!

"Okay, next, let's start learning how to make boil potion." Professor Slughorn pulled over a blackboard and quickly wrote down the precautions for making boil potion on it.

"Does anyone know what kind of potion this is, Miss McLaggen?"

"This is a potent potion for measles, boils, and other symptoms of scrofula. It is a powerful potion with a strong character. Care should be taken when brewing it. Improper preparation may cause boils instead of curing them..."

"Ah! A very standard answer. It can be seen that you have indeed prepared for the textbook very seriously, Miss McLaggen! You have won 5 points for Gryffindor!" Slughorn said happily.

Although McLaggen was not as dazzling as Levid and Tom, he was also the kind of student he liked.

However, McLaggen's mood did not improve.

She didn't think she was worse than Li Weide and Tom, but they were able to get the Felicity Potion and even got 20 extra points each!

Obviously, this is not fair!

Professor Slughorn didn't know what she was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

When it comes to students from one's own academy, one naturally has to be more partial to them...

Then, after Professor Slughorn explained the process of boiling the boil potion, he asked them to start practicing in pairs.

Li Weide sighed and teamed up with Tom.

"Well, you can't get away, Tom. I just hope you don't get upset... Annie, are you serious about taking a half step back?"

When the two began to divide the work, Tom suddenly heard Li Weide's voice in his ear.

"When you put the porcupine quills in later, add a little more porcupine quill powder."

Tom looked at Li Weide in surprise, because this sentence was said with a whispering spell!

"Tell me, who do you want to harm this time?"

"What are you talking about! When have I ever hurt anyone?"

"Okay... so how much more is it?"

Li Weide picked out a small spoon from the tools and placed it silently next to Tom.

"Use this, half a spoon."

"Do you really want me to explode?"

"It won't explode, and it won't affect the quality of the potion. However, since it's made of powder, some of it will splash out."

"You want to get a face full of boils?"

"Of course not. I'll explain this to you later."

Li Weide said this and stepped back a little, revealing Annie next to him.

Seeing this, Tom immediately understood.

The two people divided the work and cooperated with each other, and the process of boiling the boil medicine progressed rapidly.

Professor Slughorn watched, nodding with satisfaction.

Tom's operation standards are textbook-like.

And Li Weide is even more amazing.

Especially his ridiculously fine knife skills and the speed with which he processed potion ingredients.

All of this surprised Professor Slughorn.

Before traveling through time, Li Weide was the youngest expert in biology. Operating on specimens and even performing dissections were common tasks for him.

So for him, dealing with potion materials was something he was very familiar with.

Levitra and Tom were also a little anxious. If Professor Slughorn was watching them all the time, they wouldn't be able to do anything...

Fortunately, not long after, a small problem occurred on the Gryffindor side. Someone got the steps wrong and the crucible started burning violently!

"Don't panic!" Professor Slughorn walked over quickly.

Tom breathed a sigh of relief, quickly moved on to the last step, and then lifted the crucible away from the flames.

Li Weide handed over a processed porcupine quill.

Tom threw the porcupine quills into the crucible and waited for the boil potion in the crucible to react.

Li Weide quietly handed over a small bottle.

The bottle contains powdered porcupine quills.

Tom glanced at Professor Slughorn's back, then quickly opened the bottle and scooped out a small half spoonful with the small spoon.

Li Weide nodded, and Tom immediately sprinkled the powder into the crucible...

"boom!"

The boil potion that was slowly forming in the crucible suddenly exploded with a splash!

"oops!"

Li Weide, who was well prepared, exclaimed and dodged easily.

The liquid, which had not yet completely turned into boil medicine, instantly splashed towards Annie.

Anne was reminded by Li Weide's deliberate exclamation.

Anne looked a little panicked when she saw the potion splashing towards her, but her hand holding the wand did not slow down at all.

"Whoosh!"

Before the potions could get close to Anne, she sent them back!

"Stab!"

The potion fell back into the crucible with a sharp sound.

"Sorry. I knew Tom would be furious!" Li Weide quickly said to Annie who was on alert.

Tom looked at Li Weide in astonishment. Good man, you sold me out again?

Professor Slughorn had just finished dealing with the incident over there and came over immediately after hearing the noise.

"What's wrong? Oh... Tom, you used a spoon covered in porcupine quill powder, didn't you? That won't work. While it won't damage the potion, the reaction will be too intense and cause it to splash out. There's a reason why the dosage is limited to this amount."

"I……"

"Yeah, I told him, but he insisted on using it," Li Weide said. "He almost got Annie."

Anne put away her wand and smiled, "It's okay. I'm glad I didn't switch places with you."

Tom shut up. This bastard is still as bad as ever...

It was clearly him who wanted to test Annie, but he refused to take the blame!

This must be revenge for me not buying his potion!

This bitch!

Forget it...I'm used to it...

In the distance, McLaggen also noticed this scene and curled his lips in disdain.

That's it? Even making boil medicine caused an accident. With this level of skill, how could he possibly get the Fuling Potion?

……

Potions class finally ended.

Tom walked out of the classroom exhausted.

He used a whispering spell to ask, "I've made such a great sacrifice, have you found out anything?"

Li Weide said: "There is a result."

"What's the result?"
