The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

The applause gradually died down, and everyone looked at Li Weide eagerly.

"Classmates... no, brothers, sisters, friends, welcome... welcome you!"

"In my opinion, your enthusiastic applause should not be dedicated to me, but to yourselves."

"You are here tonight because you yearn for..."

"And we deeply understand that...conservative ideas no longer work for us!"

"You came here because you long for something new... civilization, equality, harmony, friendship, integrity, justice, freedom! Common progress! Yes, these are things that no one has ever mentioned before..."

Li Weide paused, looked around, and then continued, "Many people say that I hate pure-blood wizards... bullies, bullies, and pure-blood supremacists!"

"No... Actually, I don't hate them, not at all..."

"Because our society wasn't founded on hatred... and we don't fight for hatred!"

"I don't actually think those pure-blood supremacists are truly evil. It's just that they have different values... They are not hopeless, but a group of pitiful people who urgently need our rescue!"

"Speaking of this, I have to mention a companion who has come to his senses. He was once my enemy... but is now my friend!" Levid's gaze fell on Abraxas in the audience. "Abraxas Malfoy!"

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Abraxas, causing his body to stiffen slightly.

"His sudden awakening just proves this point!"

"And oftentimes, coming to one's senses requires tremendous courage! He needs to be brave enough to completely cut ties with his past! This alone deserves everyone's applause!"

Warm applause broke out immediately, and some people even cheered while looking at Abraxas.

Abraxas felt a little uncomfortable, but... to be honest, it was the first time he was applauded and praised by so many people at the same time!

For a moment, I felt as if I had drunk some fine wine...

Abraxas put on a reserved smile and bowed repeatedly to the students around him...

Although the cost of this defection was very high, it now seems... not so bad?

After a long while, the applause gradually faded away.

"Magical talent only blossoms in a select few... and all of us standing here are this most special 'few'!"

"We are all wizards! We are all miracles of life!"

"If that's the case, why do we still use bloodlines to superficially distinguish between high and low? Why do we still waste our energy on such trivial matters?"

"We are still young now! We are the rising sun! The future wizarding world belongs to us!"

"So, our mission at school has never been about bloodline discrimination, nor has it ever been about grudges and disputes between schools!"

"Hogwarts isn't supposed to be like this! We're supposed to have higher aspirations!"

"Our mission should be to cherish this hard-earned learning opportunity, support each other, and make progress together! Fight for the future development and prosperity of the wizarding world!"

"This is the reason why Hogwarts exists! This is also the reason why our mutual aid society came into being! This is also the goal we strive for!"

"Everyone, let's work hard together!"

Although Li Weide didn't say much, his words contained too many factors that could make young people excited.

Therefore, even though Li Weide had left the stage, the applause from the audience was still warm and lasted for a long time!

Tom looked at Li Weide's back, his heart filled with emotion and envy.

To sum it up in one sentence... A real man should be like this!

Professor Slughorn kept clapping as he greeted Levid who was coming down.

"Wade, your speech makes me feel ashamed! Hogwarts really shouldn't be like this... Merlin... Slytherin House has been devastated by internal conflict under my leadership and has become like this..."

"Teacher, everything will change! Now, hasn't the change already begun?"

……

Nurmengard.

Grindelwald closed his eyes and rubbed his brows with his hands.

"...The team sent to investigate the Forbidden Forest has completely lost contact," Vita continued. "The goblins aren't aware of this either, as their entire exploration team has vanished without a trace! Only traces of fire were found at their former campsite..."

"There's really no good news at all... Vita." Grindelwald released his hand, looking very tired. "Any news from Annie?"

"No..." Vita pulled out the notebook she'd used to contact Annie. "It seems she's helping Wade establish a mutual aid student club, so she doesn't have much time to visit the places listed..."

"Club? What club?" Grindelwald was attracted by the word.

"Student Mutual Aid Society...well, this is Anne's complete description of the society, and...this is what she wrote down of the scene of the first society meeting." Vita said, handing over the notebook.

Grindelwald took the notebook and glanced through it quickly.

"Ah... I see. A student support club? That's a great idea... I just didn't expect Dumbledore to agree. He really isn't worried at all."

"A speech... huh? Why does this speech sound familiar to me?"

Chapter 101 Albus, you are confused! That guy is not a good person!

After Grindelwald finished reading the whole process described by Anne in the notebook, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Vita, you've also read Anne's description. What do you think of this child, Wade Lee?"

Vita pondered for a moment, then said, "He must be Dumbledore's favorite type of student."

"Oh? Why?" Grindelwald asked with interest.

"Because his every word and action is based on a positive stance. The slogans he shouts out are also the kind that Dumbledore likes most... Overall, he is the kind of 'decent' student that Dumbledore likes." Vita analyzed.

"Well... yes, Dumbledore did think so... and it was precisely because he thought so that he let his guard down..." Grindelwald smiled.

"Huh? Did Dumbledore see it wrong? Did this Wade deceive Dumbledore?" Vita asked in surprise.

Grindelwald smiled and said, "Don't you realize that he has developed a large number of followers for himself with some very good reasons?"

"Follower? Not really? He's just a member of a student club..." Vita said doubtfully.

"The first step for people to become someone's followers is to identify with the ideas of those they follow. Haha... When I first saw Wade, I knew he was a very ambitious person. I just didn't expect that he would be unable to restrain himself so soon and start to use the name of forming a society to build a team for his future self." Grindelwald had a playful smile on his face.

"In other words, Wade is quietly developing his own power in a way that even Dumbledore approves of?" Vita asked in surprise.

"Yes."

"But he's only eleven!"

"It's precisely because he's only eleven that Dumbledore isn't so wary of him. This kid is no simple matter. He knows very well that now is the best time to form this club! If he were any older, Dumbledore would have to keep a close eye on him."

Grindelwald continued, "Have Anne focus on Wade. As for the location in the notebook... since there's been no results so far, just ignore it for now."

"I understand." Vita picked up the notebook and turned to leave.

Grindelwald looked at Vita's graceful back as she walked away, but Dumbledore's figure appeared in his mind.

"Albus...you've become much more confused than before..."

……

Hogwarts.

The first meeting of the mutual aid society was a great success.

Everyone raised their hands in agreement with the mutual aid society's program.

As for the point system proposed by Professor Slughorn later, and the reward system linked to the point system, it made everyone very excited.

Originally, they thought that mutual assistance was just an obligation, but now it seems that there are rewards?

Moreover, the rewards set by Professor Slughorn are all worth a lot of money!

From the Blessing Potion to the Beauty Potion... even if you don't use these rewards yourself, you can get a very considerable amount of gold galleons by selling them!

Of course, these valuable prizes are only available to the top 20 in the standings.

However, there are also consolation prizes for those ranked 20th and above!

These consolation prizes include premium candies, rare Chocolate Frog cards, exquisitely crafted wizard chess sets, and more...

Although the value is not too high, it is very meaningful because you can choose it at will.

Soon, the members began looking for people to help.

Li Weide was well prepared for this and he screened everyone's information.

He knows very clearly who is good at which subjects and who is not good at which subjects.

Then, people who can complement each other are gathered together according to their grades and then distributed to the members.

Of course, this is just a recommendation and not a mandatory pairing. Everyone can find someone else to help them.

To this end, Li Weide also left a large blank wall in the club activity room so that students in need of help could hang their requests for help on the wall.

In fact, mutual aid societies mainly use the method of posting information on the wall to match people up.

The reason why Li Weide screened the information and recommended matches to them was actually just a cover.

In fact, after he looked through the information of these members, he had already learned about all of them with his powerful memory!

It's clear at a glance who is a useful talent and who can develop into a core member in the future...

As time went by, the operation of the mutual aid society gradually got on the right track.

Aside from the club's funds being temporarily advanced by Professor Slughorn...

There was no way. Even if Professor Slughorn had a lot of influence, a new product couldn't be profitable immediately.

……

Just like that, two weeks passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather is gradually getting colder.

When news came from Professor Slughorn that Levid's beauty potion started to make a profit.

Li Weide planned to hand over the management of the society to Tom.

However, before handing over the reins to Tom, he had one more thing to do...

In a corner of the club activity room, there is a small office area.

This is where Li Weide and other core members of the club handle club affairs.

Li Weide sat in his seat, and in front of him stood a Slytherin student.

This student was the non-pure blood who had asked Li Weide if he would no longer be bullied after joining the club.

"Yake, now that the club is gradually getting on track, it's time to resolve your problem." Li Weide said in a gentle tone.

"Huh? What's going on with me?" Jack seemed a little confused.

Since joining the mutual aid society, with the help of responsible seniors, his grades have improved rapidly.

Moreover, ever since he joined the club, the children of pure-blood families no longer dared to bully him.

Compared to the past, his days at Hogwarts were much better!

Therefore, facing Li Weide's questions, he was actually a little confused, because now he has no confusion at all!

"Have you forgotten? When you first joined, you once asked me if you would no longer be bullied after joining." Li Weide reminded.

"Yes! I did ask that! And, it turns out, you were right! Now no one dares to bully me anymore!" Yake said excitedly. "Uh, Captain, what do you want to ask me when you mention this?"

"Well, members of the mutual aid society, you were not bullied in vain in the past, so tell us who those people were who bullied you." Li Weide held a pen and parchment and looked at Yak quietly.

"You...Captain, are you planning to avenge me?!" Yak was extremely excited.

Although I am not bullied now, the pain of being bullied in the past still lingers for a long time!

However, now that he has joined the mutual aid society and is no longer bullied, Jack has buried this sad memory.

But this doesn't mean that he forgives those bastards!

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. We're not going there for revenge, but to save them from this stupid pure-blood supremacy! Correct their wrong values!" Li Weide said seriously. "Besides, they owe you an apology, don't they?"

"I...this, what should I do?" Although Jack really wanted to hear an apology from those bastards, he also didn't want the leader and the others to be punished by the school because of a possible conflict.

If the club is closed down by the school because of him again... then he will fall from heaven to hell again!

"It's not just you, Ark. We'll seek justice for all club members who have been wronged! Bullies must pay the price... Every single member is your strongest supporter, and this isn't just talk! I'm just fulfilling my promise to you!"
