The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

The big snake stopped attacking after hearing what Tom said.

However, although it did not continue to attack, it still tilted its head and observed the two human cubs in front of it.

"What did it say to you?" Li Weide turned his head and asked while looking at the big snake vigilantly.

"It..." Tom frowned, "It didn't say anything!"

"So what did you say?"

"I...I ordered it to leave!"

At this time, the big snake was spitting out its huge tongue and staring at them quietly.

"I think...why don't we leave first..." Li Weide said first.

"I agree." This was the first time Tom agreed with Levitra's suggestion. "But...why doesn't it obey orders?"

"Maybe you're too weak right now. Will you obey the orders of someone weaker than you?"

Although Li Weide's words were so blunt that they hit Tom's young heart hard, he no longer wanted to dwell on it.

Just when the two were planning how to leave.

"hiss!"

The big snake actually launched an attack again!

Levid hit its head with another barrier spell, but this time the effect was much worse than before.

It just knocked its head a little sideways, and its sharp fangs grazed Li Weide's shoulder and bit the ground!

Tom, looking pale, once again ordered the snake in Parseltongue, "Hiss! (I order you to retreat!)"

A hint of amusement flashed in the snake's eyes, and he raised his head, as if preparing to launch a second attack.

Li Weide's heart sank. In a narrow place like the sewer, there was no way to escape from such a big snake.

It seems that there is only one way out, a fight to the death...

However, the magic resistance of this big snake seems to be ridiculously high!

Li Weide is ready to fight to the death.

There's no way around it. He's only been learning magic for too short a time. If he'd been given another week to study, he wouldn't have been pushed to the point of fighting to the death!

At this moment, the big snake suddenly stopped moving, and then its whole body began to tremble violently!

"hiss……"

Looking at the big snake in front of him that was suddenly roaring desperately as if it was possessed by an evil spirit, Tom looked at Li Weide in confusion.

"You did this again?"

"Do I need to run away if I have this ability?! Stop talking! Let's go now. As long as we get to the ground, we will be safe!"

"Wait!" Suddenly, Tom grabbed Li Weide, turned to look at the big snake, his face full of shock.

"what happened?"

"It...it spoke!"

"What did it say?"

Li Weide frowned. The snake must have said something that shocked Tom. Otherwise, Tom, who cherished his life so much, would never stop.

"It said... let's run quickly! It has temporarily controlled itself..." Tom looked at Li Weide in confusion.

Li Weide turned his head to look at the big snake. Sure enough, the snake's trembling body had stabilized, but its eyes were much clearer, completely devoid of the ferocity it had just had...

"Tom... ask it what its name is." Li Weide looked at the big snake and said thoughtfully.

Tom gave Livid a strange look, but did as he was told.

After a moment, Tom said, "It said its name was Nagini..."

Chapter 15 Diagon Alley

Li Wei De and Tom walked silently on the muddy streets of London.

Tom pressed his newsboy cap in shock, somewhat surprised that this wide hat was not thrown into the sewer.

Li Weide tightened the backpack containing his money and secretly felt lucky that the gold was not lost.

"That snake... said it used to be a human female and was attracted by my snake language... But how is that possible?" After Tom recovered, he was the first to break the silence.

"Tom, you have to admit that there are indeed many magical things in this world... Just because we don't know about them doesn't mean they don't exist." Li Weide said calmly.

In fact, Levitra knew Nagini's story very well, but he couldn't tell Tom because he couldn't explain why he knew it.

Nagini was originally a kind and gentle woman, but unfortunately, she was a blood-cursed orc.

Because of the blood curse inherited from the maternal side of the family, he was cursed from birth and could switch back and forth between human and snake states.

But as she grows older, this curse will eventually cause her to completely lose her humanity, forget all her memories as a human, and turn her into a complete beast...

Of course, the current Nagini is not the ferocious snake that Voldemort turned into a Horcrux decades later.

Li Weide speculated that Nagini was now on the verge of completely degenerating into a beast, and could only wake up occasionally.

And just now, Nagini's true consciousness woke up in time at the critical moment.

Tom was silent for a while before he said, "I have a feeling I'll meet her again in the future."

Li Weide looked at Tom and was somewhat surprised to see a flash of pity in his eyes.

"Maybe... But we have to get stronger quickly, otherwise, the next time we meet, you might be swallowed by her."

As Li Weide said this, he jumped onto a tram that had just stopped, and Tom quickly followed suit.

Because they didn't have to walk, the two arrived at their destination quickly this time.

Li Weide looked at the pedestrians in front of him, who were taking a strange route to avoid a certain distance.

Next to that road, there was a tattered sign hanging - The Leaky Cauldron.

Li Weide and Tom looked at each other, then walked over quickly.

Tom nervously brushed the dust off his clothes. They had just fallen into the sewer and were both in a mess.

The most important thing is that there is a faint smell on the body...

Just as Tom began to frown and planned to change his clothes somewhere.

Suddenly, I felt a slight chill all over my body, as if being gently blown by a breeze.

Then, he was surprised to find that all the dust and odor on his body had disappeared!

Tom immediately turned his head and looked at Li Weide.

At this time, Li Weide was looking at his clothes and silently chanting a spell in his heart.

"Clean up!"

The next second, his entire body became spotless.

"Wade, I've actually been wanting to say this for a long time. Have you known for a long time that you're..." Tom looked around and realized no one was paying attention to him before he whispered, "Have you known for a long time that you're a wizard? And, where did you get the method for using magic?"

"No, this is all my experimentation... Don't you understand yet that the power of magic is subjective?"

Tom's suspicion was not beyond Li Weide's expectations, but of course he would not admit it.

In fact, even without the spellbook, he could still test out many magical effects through experimentation...

"Magic is idealistic..." Tom repeated this sentence, thinking.

"Okay, it's time for us to go in. The new world is beckoning us." Li Weide patted Tom's shoulder, then took the lead and walked into the Leaky Cauldron.

The environment inside the Leaky Cauldron did not surprise Levitra. It was really dirty and cramped.

However, despite this, the bar was still bustling with activity. However, these customers seemed to be of mixed backgrounds...

Li Weide came to the bar and saw a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head wiping a cup.

"Hello, may I ask, where do we enter Diagon Alley?" asked Levid.

The middle-aged man put down his cup and lowered his head to look at Li Weide and Tom.

"Oh...you are the freshmen at Hogwarts this year, right? Haven't you been to Diagon Alley? Well, please follow me."

Tom and Li Weide looked at each other and followed.

Along the way, people kept greeting the man.

"Tom, is there anything to eat? Give me a piece of flatbread! I'm so hungry I could eat a cow! And give me a glass of sherry!"

"Please wait a moment, Joum, I still have to take these two new students to Diagon Alley."

"Oh? Is it a little Muggle-born wizard?"

"Yes Yes……"

As they were talking, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron, named Tom, brought Li Weide and another Tom to the small patio behind the bar.

Tom endured the discomfort and asked his boss, who was also called Tom, "What does Muggle-born mean?"

"Hmm? It seems that the professor who explained the situation to you didn't explain it clearly to you. The so-called Muggles are a general term for people who don't understand magic. Muggle-borns are wizards who come from Muggle families. Hmm... aren't you guys the same? If you were from a wizarding family, it's impossible that you haven't been to Diagon Alley." The boss Tom looked at the two boys in front of him with some suspicion.

"No, it's true that we are Muggle-born. We are just curious about the meaning of the word Muggle," Levid explained.

"Oh, so that's it..." Boss Tom didn't take it seriously. He turned around, took out his wand, pointed at the wall where a trash can was placed, and said, "Start from this trash can, count three blocks up, then count two blocks horizontally, and then knock..."

"Tuk!"

The next second, the brick wall moved rapidly, bricks jumping to the side one by one, and then an entrance appeared in front of the three people.

Li Weide walked into the entrance first, and a long cobblestone street appeared before him.

The first thing that catches your eye is the various strange-shaped shops on both sides of the street and the bustling crowds of people on the street.

The entire Diagon Alley seemed extremely lively.

"Well, now you know how to get in and out of Diagon Alley. I should go back."

"Oh, by the way, don't leave the main street. Otherwise, it will be dangerous if you accidentally walk into Knockturn Alley." After giving a warning, boss Tom left.

After the entrance behind him turned back into a wall, Tom suddenly said, "I think I'm definitely not a Muggle-born. I think my father must be a wizard, but my mother isn't. Otherwise, she wouldn't have died so easily in front of the orphanage..."

"Anyway, we're both from an orphanage now...which also counts as Muggle-born."

"Okay...but I'm going to find out about my father sooner or later!" Tom took out the shopping list and didn't mention his father again. "What should we buy first?"

"Of course, we'll go buy a wand first. But... we need to exchange some money first." Li Weide patted his backpack and said.

……

A few kilometers away from the Leaky Cauldron, the door of a small house was surrounded by police.

The two-story house is now tilted and seems like it will collapse at any time.

"Sheriff, we found the traffickers tied up, but..."

"But what?" asked the sheriff with a mustache.

"Well... the floor of the room collapsed for some reason, and several of the traffickers fell down and were injured. And... they all seemed to be scared out of their wits!"

"This is really weird..."

A tall and thin man suddenly walked out of the crowd. The policeman next to him acted as if he didn't see him and let him walk into the building that was about to collapse at any time.

Dumbledore frowned as he looked at the tragic scene in the building;

He closed his eyes and carefully felt it, because he found that the trajectory of the magic power at the scene was somewhat familiar...

Suddenly, Dumbledore opened his eyes, a puzzled look on his face. "It's them? How could it be them?"

A trace of worry flashed across Dumbledore's face, and then he jumped into the sewer through the big hole.

Dumbledore ignored the stench of the sewer and after a thorough investigation, he suddenly bent down and groped in a corner of the sewer.

When he stood up, he found a dark green scale on his hand...

"Is this... Nagini?! Has she finally fallen? Wait! What if they encounter Nagini..."

The worry on Dumbledore's face grew even more intense as he put the scale into his pocket.

"Snapped!"
