The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Tom looked at his gift, then looked at Li Weide's... At that moment, he once again realized the differences between people.

"Why do you have so many..."

"It's very simple, Tom. When you maintain this state and return to school, you will receive the same amount next year." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom's heart tightened when he heard this. Li Weide's words were full of hidden meaning. He was pointing at him!

If we keep this up, will we be able to receive this much next year?

Doesn't this mean that as long as I keep up the pretense, I can make more friends at school... and then receive more gifts next year?

I knew you couldn't forget what happened that day!

However, Tom decided to never admit that he was pretending. Dumbledore couldn't just use Legilimency on him, right?

It seems that I need to train my brain to practice Occlumency!

At this moment, Li Weide, who had just ordered Tom, found a very interesting gift among his pile of gifts...

Judging from the gift box, this is a gift from Mr. G.

After opening it, Li Weide saw something very familiar...

"You got it too?" Tom asked in surprise.

In his hand, he also held an opened gift box of the same style.

"Yeah...that's very interesting."

Li Weide smiled and weighed the fairy metal ball in his hand.

Of course he was familiar with this thing, because he had originally made it to fool Grindelwald.

But now it seems... Grindelwald gave this thing to himself and Tom as a gift?

"What does Grindelwald mean?" Tom asked with a frown.

"This is a gift, Tom, and, logically speaking, it's a big gift!" Li Weide said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Tom had to admit, if this was truly magical power that could enhance one's strength, it would indeed be a great gift...

"When someone gives you a large gift, besides asking you to do something, they're also trying to win you over..."

Chapter 131 Where's my Christmas present? Did you forget it?

"What's the point of him trying to win us over?" Tom asked in confusion, "We are just two underage wizards!"

"Tom, if we were insignificant, Dumbledore wouldn't have gone to so much trouble to send us to the safe house." Levid shrugged and continued, "It's just that we don't know what he wants from us yet..."

"He actually dared to send these things to us... Isn't he afraid that we will hand them over to Dumbledore and his plan will fail?" Tom asked.

"Tom, you're playing dumb too much... Don't you know why?"

After hearing this, Tom stopped asking nonsense questions.

According to Anne, this kind of magical power is what Levitra and Tom are striving for. How could they possibly tell Dumbledore?

Grindelwald sent these things with confidence because he believed he had grasped Levid and Tom's desire for power.

Li Weide looked at the two small balls in front of him and felt very happy.

Two were sent back, which means that the other one should have been opened by Grindelwald.

In other words, Grindelwald must have fully realized the power of this... He must have taken the bait!

Tom suddenly looked at Li Weide suspiciously. This time, he didn't ask any nonsense questions, but asked the key point!

"Since he sent these things, doesn't that mean... your 'fakes' have fooled Grindelwald? Didn't you say that your 'fakes' can only fool Anne, but not Grindelwald? Why..."

"Oh, Tom, you're clever again... Well, wait a minute, let me think about it. Oh, right, this is because technology is improving! Those things before couldn't fool Grindelwald, but these things now can fool him!"

"You were just making up excuses, weren't you? Damn it... you can't even think of making up a reason to lie to me in advance?!"

"Nothing."

"So, those so-called 'fakes' you gave Annie to absorb before were all real?!"

"you misunderstood."

"Vade! I won't trust you anymore!"

Tom angrily grabbed a small ball, turned around and left, not even wanting to pay attention to the other Christmas presents.

This time Tom was really about to go crazy. He originally thought that what Anne absorbed was fake and felt sorry for her.

I never thought...the clown would be me?!

Thinking about how he had been so eager to give real things to others, Tom felt so regretful!

"Tom..."

"Hmph!" Tom ignored Li Weide and prepared to go up the stairs.

"then."

Tom turned his head and saw another metal ball thrown by Li Weide. Tom quickly caught the small ball.

"You...what do you do?"

Tom looked at the other ball that Li Weide had thrown in his hand in surprise. What if this one broke? What a waste!

"You can take it together." Li Weide said indifferently.

"You...you don't want it?" Tom suddenly became suspicious.

At this time, he also woke up from his rage, and then realized that something was wrong again.

Isn’t Li Weide very eager for power?

Why is he not interested in something that can improve his strength?

Not only did he generously give all the things he had discovered before to Annie, but now he also gave his share to himself?

Could it be that he had already absorbed enough when he was secretly investigating before?

No! Tom denied this possibility.

Because although Li Weide's strength is still strong for him, there is no sign of him suddenly becoming stronger!

He knew very well how Annie suddenly became stronger after absorbing this magical power!

If Li Weide also absorbed it, and absorbed a large amount, it would be impossible that there would be no signs at all!

"Why don't you want it? Does this magical power really have any side effects?" Tom asked in a deep voice.

Li Weide sneered, "A truly strong person would never bother to use these external things to make himself stronger."

"Huh, I knew it. This will definitely have side effects!" Tom looked as if he had expected it.

"I've already told you that I don't use it simply because I disdain it. How can there be any side effects?" Li Weide frowned.

"This has no side effects. Would you be willing to give it to me?" Tom said with a sneer.

"How come you suddenly become so smart? Forget it, it's up to you to use it or not." Li Weide said unhappily.

Although residues have side effects, that is based on the premise of large-scale absorption.

If it's just a little bit, it's not enough to become addictive. On the contrary, it can increase your strength.

Since Tom doesn't want it, forget it.

Seeing Li Weide's expression, Tom became suspicious again.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally walked over and put both balls back in front of Li Weide.

Since you can't make up your mind... let's see what Li Weide does.

Since Li Weide is unwilling to use it, then he won’t use it either. This is the safest method!

"It's amazing, Tom, you can now resist the temptation of power!"

"Humph……"

Tom stood up unwillingly, holding his gift, and walked to another corner of the living room to slowly open it.

Of course, he didn't look back the entire time, fearing that if he saw the two little balls, he would lose control of his impulse again...

Levid chuckled. If this Tom could grow up, he would definitely be much more terrifying than Voldemort.

Because even though it was difficult, he had indeed learned the hardest quality to learn… restraint!

Li Weide turned around and started opening his gift again.

Opening gifts at Christmas is actually a good opportunity to sort out your relationships.

After all, only those who have intersections with you, or who desire to have intersections with you, will give you gifts.

This is also his network of contacts.

Soon, Levid discovered that the gift from the Malfoy family was not a gift from Abu, but... a gift from Abu's father.

It was a gorgeous cane of great value, and the handle of the cane could be disassembled, and after disassembly, it became a very good magic wand handle.

That said, it's a nifty cane that hides a wand.

"Tsk tsk, this Malfoy family, their aesthetic taste really hasn't changed much over the generations."

Despite all the complaints, Levitra still happily accepted the gift because it represented the Malfoy family's complete surrender.

Next, Li Weide also discovered gifts sent by other pure-blood families. Without exception, they were all expensive items.

Obviously, someone from the Malfoy family had revealed something to them.

For these surrendered families, Li Weide sent them a Christmas card without exception...

Christmas cards are not worth much, and one silver coin can buy a lot of them. However, the fact that Li Weide replied to them means that he, or the "family power" behind him, has accepted their surrender. This is of great significance to these pure-blood families who are fence-sitters.

Then, Levitra opened the gift from Dumbledore.

It was a book of Transfiguration techniques written by him personally. Although it no longer had much practical significance for Levitra now, it gave Levitra an excuse to use Dumbledore's unique Transfiguration technique in the future.

Professor Slughorn's gift was still simple and crude, a full bottle of Felicity Potion...

Although Li Weide already has the Fuling potion, he wants more of this kind of potion!

Even if you can't use too much yourself, you can still make a lot of money by selling it directly!

I have to say, Professor Slughorn was surprisingly kind to Levid.

Of course, as a prominent figure in the school, Li Weide received gifts from not only these two professors but also other professors.

Apart from the gifts from these professors and those pure-blood families, the other gifts seemed much more ordinary.

However, Li Weide seemed even happier because these people were all members of his society. Strictly speaking, they were the team he would build his fortune on in the future...

Of course, in order to stabilize these people's hearts, Li Weide spent a lot of money on the gifts he gave.

After Li Weide was busy and finally opened the gifts, it was already noon.

Tom had already opened his presents and had been watching Li Weide do the same, feeling a little sad.

Normally, he was in charge of the club, but these guys... only gave him some greeting cards. The best gift was actually a snack box from Annie...

And what about the gifts they sent to Levid? Either all sorts of fun wizard toys or all sorts of delicious food...

Comparing people to each other is so annoying...

"Hmph... finished dismantling it? You're so tired!"

Li Weide said happily: "In fact, not tired at all!"

As he said that, he tied a pink bow on Nagini's snake head, "Nagini, this is my Christmas present to you!"

Li Weide picked up a mirror and placed it in front of Nagini.

Nagini looked at the bow on her head with disgust, and rubbed it uncomfortably on the table, but unfortunately it didn't come off...

"Toby! You have a gift too."

"Toby... Toby, does he have a gift too?" The house-elf Toby was so happy that he almost fainted when he heard this.

"Of course there is!"

As Li Weide spoke, he reached into his pocket, took out a large gold ring, and threw it over.

"Toby, as my personal butler, you need to look stylish! Bring it on!"
