The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

"Tom, why are you so angry? I agree with you on everything you said!"

"You bastard!"

The quarrel between the two people became louder and louder, and immediately attracted the attention of the man and woman.

"Aha! Little guys, so you were hiding here!" the man shouted excitedly.

This is a hidden dead end. These two little guys are hiding here, simply walking into a trap.

"Haha, come with us, I'll take you to eat something delicious."

The woman said this with a smile, looking at Li Weide and Tom as if she were looking at two gold nuggets.

Two handsome little boys, with no adults around! This is free money!

The greedy gazes of these two people made Tom feel disgusted and angry, and the anger that had been aroused by Li Weide was ignited at once.

"Get out of here! You two filthy bastards!"

Tom rushed out in a rage.

"boom!"

The man and woman were like being hit by an invisible carriage and flew backwards in an instant!

Li Weide's eyes lit up as he watched from behind.

Emotions were indeed the key factor in enhancing the power of magic! He had spent so much time and effort trying to irritate Tom.

Tom also looked at his hands in surprise, as if he was also very shocked that he could use such powerful magic just now.

Then he looked at Li Weide, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

At this time, the two people had just rolled to the ground. The woman fainted on the spot, while the man struggled to get up.

He looked at Tom in horror, then struggled to run towards the alley entrance as if a devil was following him.

But the next second, he was frozen in place, standing there motionless, like a statue.

Li Weide slowly walked out from behind Tom.

"Don't lose your focus during a fight, Tom."

Tom looked at the man who had silently become as hard as a statue, and his eyes became clear again.

The confidence that had just risen due to his extraordinary performance was also suppressed by Li Weide.

"No... I can't beat Li Wei De yet... I can't turn against him yet!"

"We should go now. We've wasted a lot of time." Tom urged.

"Wait a minute, Tom, it's not over yet." Li Weide said as he walked up to the man.

He stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers in front of the man, and the man's head was instantly freed from the petrification.

However, his body was still like a statue, unable to move at all!

"You...devil! Devil! Spare my life! Don't eat me! I don't want to die yet!" The man was so scared that he burst into tears.

Just now, Tom knocked him away from a distance, and now his body was turned into a statue...

He was already considered very brave for not being scared to death by such a supernatural phenomenon.

"Shut up, or I'll make you a statue for the rest of your life!" Li Weide said coldly.

The man immediately shut his mouth. When he was petrified just now, all his consciousness was still there.

The feeling of being able to feel everything but being unable to move at all is simply terrifying!

He didn't want to try it a second time, let alone be unable to move for the rest of his life!

Li Weide asked expressionlessly, "Tell me, where is your lair? Who is the boss? How many children do you have? And... where is your money hidden?"

Tom suddenly realized, "So you want to rob your fellow thieves!"

"I want to save people. This is a good deed!"

"Bullshit! You want to save people, why are you asking where the money is? You're just trying to rob people!"

"Tom...don't you pay attention to the occasion when you speak?"

Chapter 12 When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself!

Li Weide and Tom hid in a dark corner, observing a small detached house not far ahead that looked very nice. There was even a nice little garden in front of the house.

It can be said that people who live here are definitely not short of money.

But according to the confession, the other trapped children were locked inside.

Tom wrapped his old jacket around himself. "I still don't understand why we have to postpone going to Diagon Alley just for the money!"

"I already told you it's not about money." Li Weide said unhappily.

He did this to earn merit points by doing good deeds, and robbing others of their wealth was just a side effect... Of course, there was no way to explain this to Tom.

"If you're not doing this for the money, then what are you doing this for? Are you really doing this to save someone? I can't believe you have such a kind heart."

"To tell you the truth, Tom, I've always been kind to everyone except you."

Tom shut up. It seemed like the bastard was right...

It's just that Li Weide has always bullied only himself, so he has the illusion that Li Weide has never been a good person.

In fact, in the eyes of others, Li Weide, who taught the bully a lesson, is really a good person!

"Forget it, let me tell you the truth. What you said is not entirely wrong. Besides saving people, part of my motivation was indeed for money." Li Weide turned and looked at Tom.

"The money Dumbledore gave us is definitely not enough. It should be just enough for us to use."

"This means that we have to buy many things second-hand, and there are many things we cannot afford."

"Are you really willing to use someone else's second-hand textbooks, wear someone else's discarded second-hand robes, and use someone else's worn-out second-hand wand? Well, these are not the most important things."

"The important thing is... Dumbledore said we can only use second-hand textbooks. What does this mean? It means that spell books must be expensive in the wizarding world..."

"We need knowledge, knowledge beyond textbooks, Tom! Don't you want to become stronger?"

Tom's heart beat fast at the last two words.

Admittedly, he could still tolerate the poor quality of life. After all, he had been living like that in the orphanage for so many years.

However, when it comes to the growth of his own strength, he can't compromise!

"Also, although we don't know the situation at Hogwarts, one thing is certain: that school is full of people with special abilities like us."

"That is to say, we are not the most special ones in here. If we still look poor... what do you think will happen?"

Tom asked, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this.

Putting himself in their shoes, as a veteran bully, he understood the mentality of such people better than anyone else.

Tom doesn't care at all about being isolated by ordinary people. You can't bully me anyway.

But, it's a magic school!

The power he possesses, others also possess it!

Tom is not afraid of being bullied by ordinary people, but what about other little wizards...

At this time, after some pua from Li Weide, Tom, who had a serious lack of understanding of his own strength, actually began to worry.

In fact, he was really worried that other students were as good as Li Weide.

"When you go out, your identity is given by yourself. So, we must have money first." Li Weide continued to increase his efforts.

"But... Dumbledore said that we can't use magic on ordinary people..."

Tom was still a little hesitant, but there was nothing he could do. Under the double blow from Levitra and Dumbledore, Tom had become much more cautious and not as confident as before.

Li Weide raised a finger and said, "First, they are planning to kidnap us, right?"

Tom nodded.

"So, I say we were acting in self-defense. Do you agree?"

Tom nodded again.

Li Weide then held up a second finger and said, "Secondly, we heard from those people that there are other children trapped, right?"

Tom nodded again. "So we are saving lives. It has nothing to do with money or anything like that!"

Li Weide said with relief: "You have learned to answer quickly now."

"You're right, Wade. Besides, since we have the ability, why should we live a miserable life?" Tom's eyes became firm.

Li Weide patted Tom on the shoulder and said happily, "You have even learned to draw inferences about other situations!"

A red light flashed in Tom's eyes. "Based on Dumbledore's behavior, he should be a good man. So, even if he knew what we did, based on the two points mentioned above, he wouldn't blame us. At most, he would only blame us for taking too much risk!"

Li Weide continued, "But we have to take risks, because those human traffickers even have black police as cover. Calling the police will be completely ineffective, so..."

"So... we had no choice but to come here ourselves." Tom nodded. "We have more than enough reasons, so let's save people first. As long as we save them, even if that Ministry of Magic that Dumbledore mentioned finds out, we'll have something to say."

"And... these bastards actually planned to capture me and sell me for money? They must pay the price!" Tom's eyes flashed dangerously again.

In fact, Tom is a very vengeful person. He can't afford to offend Levid who provoked him, so how can he not offend these ordinary Muggles?

"What are you going to do?" Tom continued.

"In fact, I first have to find a way to figure out how many people are inside and whether they have weapons like guns." Li Weide said seriously.

Even though he knew magic now, he was still very wary of the Muggle's deadly weapon - guns, and it was impossible for him to just barge in.

After all, he had only been formally learning magic for more than a week, and he was not a powerful wizard like Dumbledore, so he didn't have many methods to use.

"Tom...can't you control snakes?" Li Weide asked with a smile.

Tom's face turned red. He had indeed used a snake to try to find out the secret of Levitra's strength.

"I understand..." Tom said, then retreated to the corner, squatted down, and made a "hissing" sound from his mouth.

Tom is a Parseltongue, and can not only talk to snakes, but also command them.

In other words, many things that are inconvenient for humans to do can be done by snakes.

After a while, Li Weide discovered that green grass snakes kept poking their heads out from the cracks in the corners of the wall, and there were also many poisonous snakes among them!

The densely packed snake heads made one's hair stand on end. However, Tom seemed accustomed to this kind of scene.

"Hiss..."

Tom lowered his head and said something to one of the little snakes on the ground. Then the little snake turned its head, turned several times, and disappeared into the shadows.

Chapter 13 See, I knew you were a villain too!

"...So, there are five adults inside, all male. It's possible some of them have gone out and haven't returned yet. No guns have been found yet. However, there are quite a few weapons like machetes..."

Tom drew a crude floor plan on the ground and marked the positions of the men on it.

"Are there any children locked up inside?" Li Weide asked.

"Yes, they are all locked up on the first floor. There are eight children in this small room on the left." Tom pointed to the smallest room on the floor plan.

"Eight children crammed into such a small room... what a beast." Li Weide frowned.

Tom made no comment, but said anxiously, "I suggest that the snakes attack first. They'll definitely panic, and then we can sneak in and finish them off quickly... It's getting late, and we still have to go to Diagon Alley today!"

"Okay, let's do it." Li Weide didn't say anything else. He went straight through the alley with Tom and went around to the back of the detached house.

There was a back door, but now it was locked.

Tom picked up a stone and handed it to Li Weide. "When there's chaos inside, we'll break the door lock and rush in."

Li Weide glanced at Tom and threw the stone away.

"Why did you lose the stone?" Tom asked in confusion.

"Tom...we are wizards!"

Li Weide gently brushed the door lock with his right hand.

"Crack!"

The door lock was opened silently.
