The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Tom was speechless.

"Do you want to try it? This is much more fun than a dog!" said Li Weide.

"Ah? Me? What am I trying?" Tom was still in shock.

Tom looked at the Dementor. Even after being stopped, the Dementor did not dare to attack Tom.

However, he just stood there motionless, and Tom still felt the positive emotions in his heart constantly draining away!

This shows how terrifying this dark creature is.

And how evil is Levid who can tame such a dark creature!

"Try to control the Dementors!" said Levid.

"Can I too?" Tom looked at the Dementor again despite his discomfort.

"See the collar around his neck? That's the key to controlling him. I just need to teach you the spell, and you can do it too. If he doesn't obey, just recite this spell."

After a few minutes, Tom had completely mastered how to control the Dementors.

However, he didn't try any further and ordered the Dementors back into the suitcase.

After the Dementor closed the door of the box by itself, Tom collapsed to the ground.

It’s not that he’s unwilling to try more, but this thing, just standing there, is constantly sucking away his positive emotions!

Tom was still young and couldn't handle it. "So... your so-called good thing is to show off to me that you have mastered the method of taming Dementors?" Tom said breathlessly.

"No." Levid shook his head. "Didn't you say before that the Patronus Charm was the only thing you couldn't master in the entire book of advanced spells? Actually, as long as the Dementors are around, you can practice the Patronus Charm with twice the result with half the effort!"

Tom sat up suddenly. "But, you know... I can't seem to..."

"You really couldn't do it before, but now...how could someone who can comprehend Professor Dumbledore's magic of love not be able to cast the Patronus Charm?" Levid said with a smile, waving his hands.

"Yeah...and I do feel like my dark magic is becoming less powerful," Tom murmured.

He doesn't like to use black magic now. There is another very important reason. That is, the power of his black magic has gradually decreased, whether it is the power or the casting speed... If he really wants to fight the enemy, it is better to use defensive magic.

As a result, Tom's interest in the dark arts became less and less.

"So, you don't have to worry about being retaliated against. As long as you cooperate with the Dementors, you will definitely be able to practice the Patronus Charm!" Levid continued to fool him.

Tom frowned and thought for a long time, then looked at Li Weide suspiciously, "So, you really didn't come here to trick me today?"

"How could I cheat you, Tom? How could you think that?" Li Weide looked very hurt.

Tom narrowed his eyes slightly, "No! You must be trying to trick me! Although I don't know how you're going to trick me yet, but... every time you say that, I end up suffering!"

"Tsk, good intentions don't go unrewarded. Forget it, you can practice it or not! I can't use the Patronus Charm anyway, so it's good that you don't know it..." Li Weide stood up cursing.

Tom is too cunning now, and it's hard to fool him again. Li Weide has no choice but to make other plans...

However, after hearing Livid's mumbling, Tom immediately stood up and said, "You just said that you can't use the Patronus Charm yet, right?"

"Yeah! What's wrong? Don't you know the reason?" Li Weide said unhappily.

"Okay, then I'll learn!" Tom said happily. "I'm willing to learn knowledge that you, Lewes, can't, even if I have to get cheated again!"

"Hiss... Tom! How could you think that?" Li Weide was devastated. "I won't let you learn! I won't let you learn!"

Li Weide said as he picked up the suitcase and was about to leave, but Tom reached out and snatched the suitcase away. "Here you go!"

"Okay..." Li Weide had no choice but to look like he was unlucky and turned around dejectedly.

"Huh? Where are you going?" Tom asked as he checked the box in his hand.

"Anyway, I don't know the Patronus Charm, so I can't help you by staying here. I'll go talk to your father." Levid said, and walked into the woods, disappearing from Tom's sight.

Tom ignored Li Weide and looked at the box in his hand again.

"Fight!"

Tom took out all the chocolates in the house and prepared to recover after the big consumption.

Then, Tom opened the suitcase again!

……

Outside the woods, the decadent expression on Li Weide's face had long disappeared.

Now, Tom has learned his lesson. It won't be so easy to fool him anymore...

However, this time it was finally successful!

Even if Dementors don't actively suck people's positive emotions.

But whenever it appears, it can also passively absorb the positive emotions of the people around it.

Therefore, as long as Tom cannot practice the Patronus Charm, the Dementor will continue to passively absorb Tom's positive emotions.

Especially when Tom was trying to gather his happy emotions and concoct the Patronus Charm!

In this way, it will only take a few days for Levid to get a fully-functioning Dementor again!

At that time, Levid will let Tom rest for a day, and then take the Dementors away to harvest negative emotions!

Once the Dementors are sucked dry again, they can be thrown back to Tom!

In other words, Tom's positive emotions are food for this Dementor!

And negative emotions are the blood of this Dementor!

Li Weide is just a bloodsucking one among them!

As for whether Tom will be able to learn the Patronus Charm in just a few days?

That's almost impossible.

The purer the wizard's heart and the fewer evil thoughts he has, the faster he will practice the Patronus Charm.

For example, the later reckless Harry Potter.

As for Tom... a guy like him who has just changed his job from a dark wizard is now qualified to learn the Patronus Charm.

However, his attempt to learn the Patronus Charm was destined to be ineffective!

……

Master Riddle was very happy about Livid's arrival and sincerely invited Livid to spend Christmas at Riddle Manor.

Because Li Weide is their family’s savior!

So, Li Weide stayed in Riddle Manor for two or three days in a row.

Of course, he was not idle during these two or three days.

Every day, while reading and chatting in old Tom's study, he also made several deals with Master Riddle.

For example, luxury goods such as skin care products and perfumes are specially provided for ladies.

Levid had already improved the formula so that Muggles could produce and use it.

After seeing the efficacy of these products with his own eyes, Mr. Riddle instantly understood their commercial value and immediately negotiated a cooperation with Li Weide!

In this way, Levid will have income both in the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

However, the times were bad, the Muggle World War was going on, and there were fewer ladies who could afford these luxuries than before.

Just after three days, Li Weide went to Tom's cabin early in the morning.

When Li Weide saw Tom, he was sitting weakly on a chair outside the house with dark circles under his eyes.

The wrappers of various chocolates were scattered on the ground around.

And the box containing the Dementors was placed next to it.

"Tom! What's wrong with you? You look so bad!" Li Weide said, and took out a piece of chocolate and handed it to Tom.

Tom tore open the wrapper with difficulty and took a bite with a dull expression.

Li Weide took a look at the suitcase and he could feel that the cold atmosphere seemed to have returned to its original state!

The chives are finally grown!

Therefore, Li Weide, who was in a good mood, comforted Tom and said, "Don't be discouraged, Tom. The Patronus Charm is indeed a bit difficult. You are just starting to learn it, so it is normal that you have not made any progress..."

However, before Levid could finish his ulterior motives, Tom raised his wand.

Then Levid saw a hint of strong, dazzling white light from the tip of his wand!

"Hiss... What the hell? No... You really learned it?!"

Chapter 225: Increased Strength and Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets

The dazzling white light gradually condensed into a vague creature.

Just by standing by, Li Weide felt the warmth and joy... For no reason, even his mood became much better.

It's the exact opposite of how I felt when I was next to the Dementors!

So, Tom Riddle, the guy who would have been the Dark Lord, did learn the Patronus Charm!

Li Weide sighed and looked at the white creature again.

Under Tom's control, the white creature jumped nimbly in the woods outside the house.

However, no matter how Li Weide looked, he could not tell what kind of creature it was. It was as if there was a layer of smoke surrounding it, hiding its true body.

However, judging by the power of this Patronus Charm, it is already equivalent to the complete version, but... it is indeed a bit puzzling that the Patronus cannot be seen clearly.

"What kind of creature is your patronus?" Li Weide asked curiously.

As the creature faded away, Tom sheathed his wand and struggled to his feet.

"According to the book, it might be because the caster's heart isn't strong enough... but I'm clearly very determined! Besides, you saw its power; it's no different from a normal Patronus Charm."

"Isn't your heart firm enough?" Li Weide pondered. This might be related to the fact that Tom had just changed his job from a dark wizard.

However, Tom's change should not be fake, otherwise, he would not be able to release even this vague patronus.

"I need to have a good sleep... You can take the Dementor away. You were so kind to let me practice the Patronus Charm just so that I could feed him, right? So that's the trap! Haha... I fell for your trick again..." Tom walked into the house weakly, holding on to the wall.

Li Weide scratched his head. Tom was a really good learner. He was very good at summarizing his failures...

So, after I cheated him so many times, this guy became more and more cunning.

Li Weide sighed helplessly and picked up the suitcase and shook it.

I originally wanted to harvest Tom like leeks for a while, but I didn't expect that he would only grow once and then stop.

But...it doesn't matter. Anyway, there are more people that Li Weide can cheat than just Tom.

Early the next morning, Li Weide, who had left Riddle Manor, knocked on the door of Rosier's house.

Looking at the surprised expressions of Annie and her parents, Li Weide grinned, revealing two rows of shiny white teeth.

"Annie, do you want to learn the Patronus Charm?"

……

In the blink of an eye, more than half of the Christmas holiday has passed.

Hogwarts.

Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet walked down the castle's night corridors.

Because of the Christmas holiday, the entire castle lacked a lively atmosphere and seemed a little deserted.

"It should be in here," Dumbledore said, flipping through the manuscript in his hand. "But...why did he build the entrance in the women's room?"

Dumbledore looked at the manuscript, then looked up at the women's restroom in front of him, wondering if he had seen it wrong.

Headmaster Dippet shook his head. "It's not surprising. Thousands of years have passed, and the entire castle has undergone some major changes. You know, the renovation of Hogwarts Castle doesn't require the same extensive construction as Muggle buildings. So, it's not surprising that the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, which was a thousand years ago, is now a women's restroom."

"In that case..." Dumbledore closed the manuscript, "Shall we go in and take a look?"

"Yes, of course. We've been looking through the records left by Slytherin for so long, only to find a few clues. Coincidentally, Grindelwald isn't at Hogwarts yet. Now is the time to act."

Principal Dippet said, drawing his wand and striding inside.

Dumbledore had no choice but to follow.

This looks like just an ordinary women's restroom, nothing special about it.

But these two men were not ordinary wizards, and before long, they saw a tiny carving of a small snake on the faucet of the sink.
