The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

After he successfully cooked the soup, he ran downstairs excitedly and came to Tom the cat who was sleeping in front of the fireplace in the living room.

Tom Cat raised his head lazily, glanced at Levid, and then looked at the bottle of potion in his hand.

"Meow~" Tom Cat shouted in resistance.

It's a cat, not a toad, and can't try potions!

However, when Levid opened the lid of the potion bottle, Tom Cat immediately came over with his eyes wide open.

It came up to Levid, licked the back of Levid's hand gently, and then looked at the potion bottle in Levid's hand with longing eyes.

Li Weide picked up the potion bottle and sniffed it, but didn't smell anything special.

"Is it so fragrant?" he murmured, and then used a piece of cat hair on the ground to turn it into a plate and placed it in front of Tom Cat.

He first poured a little bit on the plate and then pushed it in front of Tom Cat.

Tom Cat looked helplessly at his stingy owner, then lay down in front of the plate and licked the potion clean in a few licks.

"Meow~"

"You want more? But... I can't control the dosage..."

"Meow!"

"Okay, okay! I'll give it all to you..." Li Weide poured half the bottle this time.

Tom Cat happily lay down beside the plate and drank the potion happily.

It seems that this thing is even more delicious than the dried fish that Tobit specially prepared for it...

After drinking half the bottle, Tom Cat licked the plate with a look of unsatisfied satisfaction.

Seeing this, Li Weide simply poured the rest in.

"If you can't drink anymore, don't drink..."

However, despite Livid's instructions, Tom Cat still licked the potion in the plate clean.

After Tom Cat had drunk his fill, he rubbed the back of Li Weide's hand with his head, then walked back to the fireplace with his cat steps and lay down in his favorite spot.

When Li Weide got closer to see its condition, Tom Cat was already snoring in his sleep...

"This...it seems that this potion can make magical creatures sleepy...I don't know how effective it is."

Although the book given by the system did not mention any side effects of this potion, Li Weide still looked at the sleeping Tom cat with some worry.

Out of concern for Tom Cat and curiosity about the effects of the potion.

Li Weide did not go back to his room. Instead, he lay on the sofa in the living room, reading a book and waiting for Tom Cat to wake up by himself.

Finally, at twelve o'clock in the morning, Tom Cat woke up from his sleep.

Li Weide immediately put down his book, came over, and carefully examined Tom Cat's body.

However, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.

Li Weide touched his chin and pondered. It seems that this potion really has no side effects... As for drowsiness, many potions for treating diseases will have such effects, so it is not a big deal.

As for the effect, maybe I have just started taking it now, so the effect is not obvious yet.

Just as Li Weide was thinking this, he saw Tom Cat smiling at him, then stretched out his paw and pointed at his mouth.

Li Weide widened his eyes and looked at Tom Cat with a question mark on his face.

Seeing that Li Weide was indifferent, Tom Cat seemed a little disappointed, so... he walked to the cabinet where the dried fish were stored, opened the cabinet, and took out a can of dried fish...

"Maybe it's because I haven't woken up yet?"

Li Weide rubbed his eyes hard and looked at Tom Cat again.

Tom Cat stood in front of the cabinet, unscrewed the can, picked out the largest dried fish, put it in his mouth, and started eating it with a smacking sound, and then his face showed a very intoxicated expression...

"Grass……"

Realizing that this was actually happening, Li Weide exclaimed in surprise.

What a hell!

How can a cat walk like a human and get food like a human?

Yes, it walks upright like humans and “takes” food to eat like humans!

Moreover, he smiles like a human being!

Tom Cat was startled by Li Weide's exclamation and almost dropped the can of dried fish in his hand.

It turned around and saw that Li Weide looked unhappy. It seemed to think that its owner was scolding it for stealing food. It quickly put the can of dried fish back with a sneer, then put its "hands" behind its back and pretended to close the cabinet door with its foot...

"It's over...it really has become Tom Cat..."

……

Due to Tom Cat's special changes, Levid worked tirelessly that night to brew the potion again.

He wanted to test again whether this potion was effective on all magical creatures!

If this potion really works on all magical beasts... then it would be much better than the previous nutrient solution!

By then, it won’t be impossible to create an army of magical beasts!

To this end, he even Apparated to the Forbidden Forest, caught a new Kneazle, and fed it the potion...

Li Weide hid in the room, quietly observing the cat-civet.

Tom Cat squatted in his nest angrily, looking at Li Weide.

Because its owner found another cat last night!

I also fed it that delicious sweet water!

Humph! Angry!

Only after Li Weide explained to it that he was just doing an experiment did Tom Cat reluctantly refrain from rebelling.

But this shocked Li Weide even more, because Tom Cat now seemed to be able to completely understand what he said, no matter how complicated his sentences were...

I waited until early the next morning, and the cat that I picked up extra finally woke up.

Under Li Weide's expectant gaze, the cat-civet just looked around vigilantly, and then began to breathe at Li Weide.

Because it remembers that it was captured by this hateful human.

Li Weide spent a lot of effort and even asked Tom Cat to come over for assistance, only to find out helplessly that although this cat-nose seemed to have become a lot smarter, but... it did not undergo such a drastic change as Tom Cat!

In other words...was it some unknown factor that caused the changes in Tom Cat?

Is this just an unrepeatable accident?

After this, Li Weide locked himself in the room and conducted many more experiments.

Many small magical animals were replaced for the experiments, but without exception, they were only a little smarter than before, and their bodies only became a little stronger, but none of them had undergone the same changes as Tom.

In other words, Tom Cat's change was probably just an accidental phenomenon caused by a certain step...

In order to find out which key it was, Li Weide deliberately entered the dream and asked the busy senior sister.

After hearing Li Weide's discovery, the senior student checked Tom Cat's body and his dreams with great interest, and even used her consciousness to possess Tom Cat's body again to experience it for herself.

"It's the power of ancient magic and nightmare magic... Vader." The senior finally came to the conclusion.

"Ancient magic and nightmare magic?" Li Weide was a little surprised. "I used Transfiguration, which was enhanced by ancient magic, and I also used Nightmare Magic. Could it be because of this?"

"It's not because of you, but because of me..." the senior said, "When I possessed it, I needed its brain... so, my power, intentionally or unintentionally, strengthened its brain and soul... If you examine it, you'll find that its brain capacity is now much more developed than other cat-kins."

"Is that so? Then this potion..."

"This is the most amazing part. Your potion can make magical animals stronger and smarter... and the ancient magic and nightmare magic power that remains in its brain just happens to amplify the potion's effects." The senior student smiled and said, "In fact, even if you didn't make this potion, it would gradually become smarter as I possessed it more often. Your potion simply shortens this process. It's truly amazing... Wade, it seems you've unintentionally created a miracle of life."

Li Weide looked at Tom Cat's consciousness, who was now sleeping in the dream, and found that its soul was indeed much more solid than before.

"Then it can walk upright and open cabinet doors and jars like a human..."

"Didn't you use ancient magic to strengthen its Transfiguration before? When I possessed it, I also left traces of ancient magic." The senior student smiled, "That means its body has also been strengthened..."

After a while, Li Weide woke up from his dream. He stared at the ceiling with lifeless eyes, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

In other words, Tom Cat's brain capacity gradually changed into the shape of the senior sister as she was possessed by him again and again, so he became smarter and smarter. With the strengthening of that magic potion, he has reached his current situation.

Therefore, Tom Cat's situation is difficult to replicate. You can't let the senior sister possess the magical animals one by one, right?

Li Weide believed that if he dared to make such a request, the senior sister would dare to make him have nightmares for ten consecutive years...

My army of magical beasts...

"Meow?" Tom Cat also woke up at this time. It looked at Levid with longing on its face, as if asking Levid for the potion.

"I'm not in the mood, you go cook it yourself. You've seen it so many times, you should have learned it..." Li Weide said casually.

Then... he was surprised to see Tom Cat skillfully set up the crucible, light the fire, process the materials, and stir the crucible...

Li Weide was silent. I really just said it casually. Are you serious?!

Just then, Li Weide's door opened and Tom walked in.

"Did you die in your room? School starts tomorrow. Are you ready... or not..." Tom's words became a little unsmooth at the end.

Because he saw a cat brewing potions just like a human...

Tom looked at Li Weide, "So... did you do something to me again?"

"what?"

"You're still quibbling? I'm hallucinating!"

Chapter 134 As a mature cat, you have to learn to cook for yourself

Early the next morning.

Li Weide has already packed his luggage.

Of course, all the luggage in front of Toby was just a small suitcase.

The traceless stretching spell that Li Weide has been practicing these days is not in vain.

Although I am not particularly skilled yet, it is not a problem for me to expand the space of a suitcase to about one cubic meter.

Therefore, even if Li Weide put all his books in the box, there was still a lot of space left.

"Okay, Toby, after we go to school, you can stay here and help me take care of the plants in the yard. I've already taught you all the methods..."

"Yes, sir! Master Wade! Toby will definitely complete the task you assigned me!" Toby, who was wearing a big gold ring, immediately responded loudly.

Li Weide nodded with satisfaction, then looked at his small suitcase again. At least now he no longer needed to drag a terrifyingly large suitcase to school.

Tom rubbed his chin as he looked at Lewes's small suitcase and then at his own large suitcase.

"I seem to have heard that... the Traceless Extension Charm is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic... It seems that private individuals are not allowed to use it casually."

Li Weide glanced at him and asked, "Why? You want to report me?"

"You never know..." said Tom meaningfully.

"Tom... aren't you just trying to provoke me into casting the Untraceable Extension Charm on your suitcase?" Levid smiled. "Because you think that if you say so, I'll cast the Untraceable Extension Charm on your suitcase as well to prevent you from reporting me, right?"

The smug smile on Tom's face immediately disappeared.

"Actually... why is it so troublesome? You just need to come to me and ask me, and I will naturally consider helping you." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Hmph...boring..." Tom was embarrassed to see through his little thought. He had no choice but to put on a straight face, push his suitcase, and walk towards the fireplace without looking away.

"Tom, actually, saying please isn't that difficult. How about... you give it a try?"

"Even if I get burned to death by the fireplace, Floo powdered to death, or hit by a suitcase, I won't say 'please' to you!" Tom said angrily.

"This kid is so stubborn..." Li Weide sighed and shook his head as he sat back down at the table. "But no matter how stubborn you are, you still have to finish breakfast first. It's not time to leave yet."

Tom, who wanted to leave immediately, slowly stopped because he was really hungry...

"I just pushed my luggage in front of the fireplace so that I can leave later. Who said I should leave now?" Tom sat back at the dining table without changing his expression and started eating the breakfast in front of him.

"Meow~" Tom Cat suddenly came to Li Weide, put his "hands" on Li Weide's thighs, and drooled as he looked at the sausage in front of Li Weide.

Li Weide put down his fork and rubbed its head with his hand. "You are already a mature cat. If you are hungry, you should learn to cook for yourself."

"Meow?"
