The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Li Weide reluctantly pulled out the "residue" again.

It is true that success depends on balance, and failure also depends on balance.

Even though the amplifying power contained in this "residue" was greater than those before, because it was too balanced, not only did they cancel out the negative effects, but even the positive effects were not spared...

This is a bit embarrassing...

Li Weide made another adjustment to this "residue".

Fortunately, he remembered the proportion of each emotion in the "residue" extracted by Professor Morgana before.

Therefore, he deliberately switched the proportion of joy and anger.

The previous "residue" had such a significant side effect, entirely because anger dominated the equation. Anger, as a broad category of emotions, contains emotions essential to black magic, such as hatred...

Now, the sadness remains unchanged, but the anger and joy are completely reversed...

This time, the "remnants" turned into a mist with silver and red, and red and black...

Li Weide absorbed this "residue" again.

"it works!"

Li Weide was pleasantly surprised to find that the side effects of this "residue" were much less than before!

Moreover, the increase has hardly decreased!

Of course, there are still side effects, similar to the feeling of...drinking too much euphoria, a bit too excited...

Although this side effect is still not very good, but... this is also a huge improvement.

If I can't find a better way in the end, I will have to change the form of the "residues" in the senior sister's body, turn it into a completely balanced form and then absorb it, and there will be no side effects at all.

Of course, in this case, there won't be any increase.

However, these huge amounts of "residues" will not disappear just because of this. I will slowly explore how to use them together with the senior who has escaped danger...

Li Weide cleaned up the laboratory again, and then put the happy emotions he had extracted from the cat-cat back into the cat-cat.

Just when Li Weide put his happy mood back, the cat-kneazle opened his eyes.

Li Weide couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It turned out that my experiment took too long, so the cat woke up directly...

"Well, thank you very much for helping me. I will take you home now."

The cat-kneel didn't make any noise, but just looked at Li Weide quietly.

Li Weide saw that the cat-civet did not attack actively, so he tentatively reached out his hand towards it.

It was very strange that this cat-nose not only did not resist at all, but instead took the initiative to rub its head against Li Weide's palm.

"Huh? What happened?" Li Weide was a little surprised.

Although he didn't know what happened, since the cat-nose didn't object, Levid picked it up and then Apparated to the place where the cat-nose was caught in the Forbidden Forest.

"Let's go."

Li Weide put the cat down and prepared to leave.

However, he soon felt his robe being pulled.

Li Weide turned around and found that it was the cat-kneazle that had bitten the corner of his robe.

Looking at the intimacy in the cat-kin's eyes, Li Weide suddenly understood something.

According to the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", once a Kneazle falls in love with a wizard, it will become the most suitable pet for that wizard...

This cat-nives obviously likes Li Weide very much!

Li Weide frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly understood something.

It seemed that just when I put my happy mood back, it woke up, and then...

In its eyes, Li Weide became a person who could bring it happiness.

There is no animal that doesn't like people who bring them joy.

Of course, the cat-kneazle is also one of them.

and so……

"Hiss...Are you going to follow me?" Li Weide asked.

"Meow~"

"Um...but wizards need a license to keep Kneazles...I don't have one yet..."

"Meow~"

"Okay, okay! You can come with me, but you can't hurt anyone without my permission!"

Thinking of the peculiarity of the cat-civet, Li Weide finally decided to take this guy back.

"Meow!" The cat-kin nodded humanely.

"Hiss... It's worthy of being a magical animal! It can even understand human language!" Li Weide said in surprise.

"Well...but I can't take you back like this...at least before I get a permit, you can't be a Kneazle." Levid picked up the wand, "If you want to follow me, I have to change your appearance."

Suddenly, Li Weide smiled evilly.

After a moment, the cat-kneazle's appearance changed completely, turning into a cat with beautiful blue hair and wearing "white socks"... a British shorthair blue and white.

The cat-kneazle licked its tail somewhat uncomfortably, then looked at Li Weide pitifully.

"Okay, from today on, your name will be Tom!" Li Weide said happily.

Tom, who was far away in Hogwarts Castle, suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Huh? What happened? Why do I always feel like someone is calling my name?"

Chapter 116 Tom: Is there no one speaking up for me? !

Li Weide opened the dormitory door holding the cat.

Since it was already nine o'clock in the evening, everyone was in the dormitory.

"What is this?" Tom asked, frowning.

The cat raccoon huddled up in Li Weide's arms, so from a distance, he could only see a furry ball...

"A thing? How can you say that, Tom?"

Li Weide picked up the cat and showed it to everyone.

"Pick up a cat, my friends. It wants to come home with me! So I picked it up."

The cat-like creature lazily glanced at the people in the dormitory, then turned its head away with disdain.

None of these guys can be as powerful as their master!

Suddenly, the cat-kneazle jumped out of Li Weide's arms, its fur standing on end, and it breathed in Tom's direction!

Li Weide was a little surprised. Could it be that these two Toms would fight when they met for the first time?

Tom also looked at the cat in surprise.

I don't really understand why this thing is so hostile to me.

Suddenly, Nagini raised her head from the bedside table next to Tom.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss... (This is a Kneazle)"

Then Tom finally understood that the cat-nives were not against him, but Nagini...

Wait, a Kneazle?!

Tom looked at Li Weide suddenly. Is this guy crazy?

Bring a kneazle back to the dormitory?

This thing is very offensive! This is totally against the Ministry of Magic...

Alas... Tom sighed.

It would be strange if a guy like Li Weide could abide by the law.

Well, let alone the second brother, Tom is definitely not a law-abiding wizard...

"Relax, Tom. That's not an enemy. Her name is Nagini and she won't hurt us." Levid squatted down and touched "Tom's" head.

Tom on the opposite side looked confused. How did that guy know that I was tense just now?

After Li Weide's comfort, "Tom" finally returned to normal.

Li Wei De brought the cat to his bedside, and then used Transfiguration to transform a pile of snack packaging bags and other garbage that had not been thrown away into a beautiful and warm nest.

"Come, Tom, have some dried fish." Li Weide said with a smile.

"I don't eat dried fish..." Tom had just said half of his answer when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

He stared with wide eyes as he watched Li Weide feed the cat dried fish.

"Wait...you didn't name that cat Tom!"

"Yes, its name is Tom, and your name is Tom too. You two must get along well with each other in the future." Li Weide said with a smile.

"I..." Tom had a lot of curse words in his mind, but he didn't dare to say a single one out loud. He kept them all in his mind.

Get along with?

If this thing wasn't a cat-nives, it would be very fierce, and it was raised by that bastard Levitra!

I'm going to hang it from the rafters tonight!

"Hey! This cat is quite smart!" Henry said in surprise.

He didn't know that it was a cat-civet. He only saw that under Li Weide's "persuasion", it completely stopped its attacking state.

Naturally, I think this is a cat that is too smart.

"Yeah! How clever! Where on earth did you pick that up?"

Alphard said as he took out a bunch of snacks from his cabinet and placed them in front of the Kneazle.

Naturally, the Kneazle did not refuse the tribute from Alphard, the "slave".

It nestled comfortably in its new nest and ate the "tribute" happily.

"In the evening, I was strolling along the edge of Black Lake, and then I met it. Oh, there was no way, it had to follow me home." Li Weide said with a smile.

At this time, Tom was watching these guys teasing the cat with a speechless look on his face.

No, is this the point?

Isn't the point that that bastard Li Weide gave his cat the same name as me?

Is there anyone who speaks up for me?

Does having an ordinary name mean you have no human rights at all?

……

In a dream.

Li Weide just told his senior sister about his research and ideas today.

The senior was silent for a long moment before she spoke, "I've never considered what would happen if I could control the various emotions within this 'residue'... and I'm truly amazed that you've been able to study it to this extent."

"It seems that the situation is still optimistic. After the adjustment, the negative effects of the 'residue' will not be reduced immediately, but the impact of positive emotions on people is far less than that brought by negative emotions." Li Weide said with a smile.

"But..." Li Weide began to worry again, "This is just a study on improving the existing 'residues'. As for the 'residues' in your body... Although I have some ideas now,... with my current abilities, I can't do it yet."

The senior student smiled and said, "It's remarkable that you were able to improve this power. I remember you said before that you wanted to make something similar to my cloak to store the 'residues' in my body."

"Yeah... Now, what I can be sure of is that I can't do this with my ancient magic. Therefore, I may have to rely on alchemy. As far as I know, fairy metal can be used as a material, but... I don't know much about alchemy, especially the alchemy that fairies are good at." Li Weide was also a little helpless.

He might be able to use his strong learning ability to learn a little bit of alchemy in a short period of time, but... Fairy Metal was created by the fairies after all, and it could be considered their secret recipe...

With the alchemy of human wizards, it would take too much time to recreate something like fairy metal, and I can't wait that long.

The senior student suddenly smiled again and said, "Actually, I should be able to do it."

"You have the ability to do it?" Li Weide suddenly came to his senses. "Yes... yes!"
