The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

This is how Dumbledore made the pumpkin juice he gave to Levitra and the others at the Wu Orphanage...

Tom stared at the cake and couldn't help but look at Li Weide.

You obviously have this skill... Every night when you want to have a midnight snack, you actually wake me up and ask me to go to the kitchen to get you food?

You bastard! You are deliberately making things difficult for me, Tom!

At this time, Li Weide poked the cream cake with his wand again.

The next second, the cake began to deform rapidly, and finally turned into a goblet.

Dumbledore looked at the goblet with exquisite patterns, his eyes full of admiration. To make such a delicate goblet made by Transfiguration, it must be the level of a fifth-grade student!

And at this age, Li Weide can use Transfiguration so skillfully...

He found that he seemed to have underestimated Vader's talents, especially his talent for transfiguration!

Dumbledore was about to speak when suddenly, Levid waved his wand again and the goblet quickly transformed again.

From an exquisite golden goblet, it turned into a very cute little kitten!

Dumbledore was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but reach out and pick up the kitten.

The furry touch, the warm body temperature... The kitten stretched out its tongue and gently licked the back of Dumbledore's hand...

When Dumbledore raised his head and looked at Levid again, there was shock in his eyes.

There are students at Hogwarts who can achieve this.

However, at least they were all outstanding students in the fifth and sixth grades, and they were all members of the Transfiguration Club.

And now, Li Weide hasn't even started school yet, and he has reached this level just by self-studying from basic books!

How could this not shock him? This kind of talent... was even stronger than when he was young!

In fact, although Levid's talent was not bad, it was not as high as Dumbledore thought.

The reason why he was able to improve Transfiguration to such a level in just two weeks was not only because he had the magical strength of an adult wizard, but also because he had the book "The Complete Guide to Transfiguration" produced by the system.

This book records the experiences of all the masters of transfiguration throughout the ages!

All the difficulties that Li Weide encountered when practicing Transfiguration can be found in this book!

That is equivalent to having hundreds of highly skilled masters of Transfiguration serving as teachers to Levid, and even Dumbledore himself, who was completely unaware of it, was one of them.

In addition, Li Weide has a strong memory to help him study.

It's no surprise that he can reach his current level.

At this moment, Professor Hicks also looked at Dumbledore in shock. She naturally knew how difficult it was to learn Transfiguration to this level at this age.

Dumbledore sighed and placed the kitten back on the table. "Wade, you've given me another huge surprise... Your Transfiguration skills are now far superior to those of many adult wizards. Moreover, you've achieved this level through self-study... It's no exaggeration to call you a Transfiguration genius rarely seen in a century!"

"Ah?" Li Weide was a little confused.

In fact, Li Weide really didn't know the extent of his transformation skills.

Because according to his memories before he traveled through time, it seemed that by the third or fourth grade, the little wizards could turn dead things into living things.

So, he didn't think it was so great that he could turn a kitten into something special.

You know, he just wanted to show off a little bit of his talent in front of Dumbledore.

As a result, it seems now that I have overdosed my efforts?

Tsk! This is trouble! He doesn't want to be labeled too much in Dumbledore's eyes...

A Transfiguration Genius? I'm really not!

"Is this... so exaggerated? Many people can do it..." Li Weide asked unwillingly.

"That's not an exaggeration, Wade. Being able to turn inanimate objects into living things is something many lower grade students can actually do after diligent practice."

"But you're the only one who can use Transfiguration to transform living things into something so detailed and perfect at this age... Of all the Hogwarts students I've met, you seem to be the only one."

At this time, Tom was dumbfounded.

Could it be that what Li Weide said in the woods just now was not completely pretense?

Is the gap between him and me really that big?

It turns out... my feeling that I could challenge him was actually just an illusion...

Chapter 38 Tom: Touched? How could I have such a ridiculous emotion?!

At this moment, Li Weide silently made a summary in his mind.

His judgment of his own abilities this time was wrong, entirely because his understanding of the wizarding world was mostly based on his memories before he traveled through time.

Relatively speaking, it is still very shallow.

He previously thought that this superficial understanding was enough, which seemed too blindly confident.

This problem can be said to be big or small, and now it is just a misjudgment of my own abilities.

If one day we misjudge the enemy's capabilities, we will be in trouble.

To sum up, in one sentence, I haven't read enough books.

And in the British wizarding world, and even in the European wizarding world, where is the place with the largest collection of books?

According to Levid's current superficial understanding, the library with the largest collection of books in the wizarding world is in Hogwarts.

So, now Li Weide is full of anticipation for the start of school.

When Levid was looking forward to the start of school, Dumbledore was also looking forward to Levid's admission.

In his opinion, Li Weide, who could reach this level through self-study, was a piece of top-quality unpolished jade.

As a professor, how could he not be excited?

"I once taught a student who was very talented in Transfiguration. Now, she is the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts." Dumbledore said with a smile, "I believe she will like you very much."

Li Weide asked in surprise: "I thought you were our Transfiguration professor?"

"I was," said Dumbledore, "but when she came to Hogwarts I switched to Defence Against the Dark Arts."

"This professor is so outstanding? What's her name?" Li Weide asked curiously.

"Minerva McGonagall..."

"Ah?" Levid looked at Dumbledore in surprise.

According to his memory, Professor McGonagall should be only a few years old now, and it is impossible for her to be a professor at Hogwarts...

However, if we follow the world view of the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", Professor McGonagall has indeed become a professor.

It was not until now that Li Weide was fully sure that the world he was in was slightly different from what he had imagined before.

"What's wrong? Have you heard of her before?" Dumbledore asked curiously.

Li Weide’s reaction just now was indeed a bit too much.

"Um... I saw her name in a magazine about transfiguration..." Li Weide explained.

Dumbledore said happily, "It should be in the magazine 'Transfiguration Today'? Believe me, it's not surprising at all. However, I believe that with your ability, it won't be long before you can publish your own Transfiguration paper in this magazine."

"Your praise makes me blush... So, in order for that day to come sooner... Professor, can you find some books for me to read?" Li Weide asked without blushing or panting.

"Poof..." Tom, who was drinking water, sprayed it out.

Just ask the professor for the book? Yeah! Why didn’t I think of that?!

Not only can you get a professor's recommended reading list...but you can also save a ton of money on books! I have to say, you're such a wimp!

Li Weide glared at Tom who had lost his composure.

"Ahem, the water is too hot, sorry..." Tom quickly tried to save face.

"I do have quite a few books on Transfiguration that I can recommend to you." Speaking of books, Dumbledore seemed even happier. "I can send you some when I get back."

"Well... Actually, I'd like to explore my other talents. So..."

"Haha, of course. I have quite a few books on other subjects, too. I can compile a list for you," Dumbledore said with a hint of pride. "To be frank, at Hogwarts, even Headmaster Dippet's collection isn't as extensive as mine."

Tom next to him held his water cup tightly, his eyes red with jealousy.

Although good students are usually favored by teachers, this is too much discrimination...

"Isn't this... inappropriate? Your time is too precious..." Li Weide said hesitantly.

"It's nothing. I just happen to have some free time recently. In fact, it's time for me to get back to my teaching work."

"Then Tom and I are really grateful to you!" Li Weide said excitedly.

Tom next to him was slightly stunned when he heard this. What did Li Weide mean by mentioning me in his words?

Could it be that... I also have a share of those books?

He...he actually doesn't plan to eat alone? !

For a moment, Tom felt a little ashamed. After all, if he were in Li Weide's shoes, he would definitely eat alone.

Any hesitation is a disrespect for knowledge!

"This is what a professor should do. Especially for outstanding students like you." Dumbledore said with a smile.

Tom asked uncertainly, "Professor, can I read those books too?"

"Tom, what stupid questions are you asking? This book was originally sent for the two of us to read together!" Li Weide looked at Tom as if he were a fool.

Tom was finally convinced when he saw that Dumbledore did not object to this statement.

Even though they didn't mention me in their words just now, they never forgot me from beginning to end...

Why are my eyes feeling a little hot? Could it be...

Oh, how could I have such a ridiculous emotion?!

……

Dumbledore was so happy today that he only remembered the important business here when he was about to leave.

"It's not a long-term solution for you to always live in the Hog's Head Inn. So, I'm looking for a suitable guardian for you..."

"Professor...don't bother. We are not used to integrating into other people's families." Li Weide suddenly said.

Hearing this, Tom looked at Li Weide in surprise. He didn't expect Li Weide to be so brave.

What about the long-term plan? Just saying it straight away? What if they disagree? Wouldn't that expose their plans in advance?

But since Li Weide activated his "skill", he had no choice but to follow the group.

"Yes, professor, we are not sociable people in the orphanage... I'm worried that our presence will affect other people's families." Tom also looked uneasy.

I have to say that after someone's guidance, Tom's acting skills have improved recently.

Dumbledore was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the two children to worry about this issue.

"Don't worry, I promise. The guardians I've found for you are all very kind and tolerant. You will be well taken care of in their homes. You don't need to feel any pressure."

Li Wei De shook his head firmly, "Professor... I don't know why, but... we have been targeted by Grindelwald!"

"You never know when he will suddenly appear in front of us!"

"I...we don't want any more accidents to happen and implicate others!"

"Thinking back on what happened that day, we're still terrified. If Mr. Kovalski and his family had arrived a day earlier, they might have been killed by us!"

"So, no matter what you say, even if you expel us, we will not look for another guardian."

After listening to Li Weide's words, Tom silently shouted in his heart, "Beautiful!"

They almost implicated someone else before, so they don’t want to implicate anyone again in the future! This reason is really perfect!

Levander's words hit Dumbledore's weakness hard!

Because it concerns the safety of others, Dumbledore will definitely give it more consideration even if the chance is only one in ten thousand.

Sure enough, Dumbledore frowned and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

"We plan to buy a house and move out of the Hog's Head Inn in a while. We definitely have enough money. Besides, we have been bothering Mr. Aberforth for a long time." Livid said while the iron was hot.

"How can this be?" Dumbledore waved his hands repeatedly. "You should stay here for now. Besides... you are still young, how can you live without a guardian? Besides... although your concerns are not unreasonable, I still have a way. All it takes is a Fidelius Charm..."

Li Weide was completely numb.
