The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

While Tom was still wondering, Li Weide had already started spreading mashed potatoes on the pancakes and then wrapping them into the shape of dumplings...

Tom's eyebrows rose involuntarily.

Transfiguration can be performed while eating? Is this his unique way of practicing? But I've never seen him do this before...

Just when Tom was about to imitate him.

Annie came closer.

Seeing this, Tom frowned slightly.

Ever since Li Weide became erratic all day, Annie always did this, pretending to come and chat casually, and her words were always tentative.

Obviously, this was instructed by Grindelwald. He wanted to find out what Levid was doing!

No matter what Li Weide is doing, it must be related to their future!

In other words, Grindelwald must never be told!

Thinking of this, Tom became alert.

Then, before Anne could speak, he took the initiative to interrupt and start chatting with Anne.

Because of Tom's initiative, Anne was unable to bring the topic back to Li Weide...

This made her feel very impatient.

More than half a month has passed, and she still hasn't been able to find out what Li Weide is doing!

Although Grindelwald didn't say anything, she could clearly feel that her aunt seemed a little dissatisfied with her...

Seeing that Tom was still standing between her and Li Weide, talking about this and that, Annie finally couldn't help it.

She looked past Tom and asked very bluntly, "Wade, what have you been busy with lately? Apart from attending classes, we haven't seen much of you lately."

Tom frowned and wanted to say something, but Li Weide patted his shoulder.

Tom's heart moved and he shut his mouth tacitly.

"Recently, I've been looking for something." Li Weide said vaguely.

Annie was a little excited when she heard this. "Looking for what? We can help you. We are all friends, right?"

Li Weide hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether to speak or not.

Seeing this, Annie quickly said, "We are all members of a mutual aid society and should help each other."

"You're right, Annie." Li Weide looked at the others and found that no one was paying attention to him. Then he whispered, "Originally, I didn't intend to say it so early, but... you and Tom are my best friends, so... I can tell you, but you also have to promise me that you will never let anyone know!"

"What's going on here that's so mysterious?" Anne tried to hide her excitement.

She had been beating around the bush and testing the waters for almost half a month, but she didn't expect that when she spoke directly today, it would actually work?

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn’t have wasted so much time!

"I found some manuscripts in the restricted area. They said that in the Forbidden Forest and even in Hogwarts, there is a magical power hidden that can make wizards stronger!" Levid said mysteriously.

Tom blinked, and he understood instantly that Levid was going to pass a message to Grindelwald through Anne!

But... wasn't Li Weide planning to secretly search for that kind of magical power?

Why would they inform Nurmengard through Anne at this time?

However, as I said before, Tom knew that there must be a reason why Li Weide did this, so he also pretended to be curious.

"What manuscript is it?" Anne asked quickly.

At this moment, her heart was very uneasy.

At first, only the goblins knew about that power! Then the goblins told Grindelwald...

The notebook she had obtained before should also be related to this power, but it has been sent back to Nurmengard.

But how did Li Weide know the existence of this power?

"That's a manuscript left by someone named Isidora Morgana, who seems to have been a professor at Hogwarts. I've been searching for this power based on the manuscript she left behind... and now I've got some clues!"

Anne was shocked when she heard this. The people from Nurmengard and the goblins were about to turn the Forbidden Forest upside down, but they still couldn't find that kind of power.

Now Li Weide says there is a clue? !

"Those manuscripts...can I take a look at them?" Anne said hurriedly.

Li Weide opened his pocket, revealing a stack of yellowed papers.

"Let's talk about it after dinner!"

Happy New Year, fellow book lovers! I've been thinking lately about whether I should create a group to chat with you...

Chapter 108 I, Tom, have never been inferior to others in my life!

"It took me a lot of effort to dig out these manuscripts from the restricted section..."

In the Request-Granting Room, Li Weide shared the manuscripts with Tom and Annie.

Since the establishment of the club, this group of people has rarely come here.

So there is no one else here except the three of them.

Tom looked at the manuscripts in amazement.

In just half a month, Li Weide actually found so many clues!

He thought that Li Weide would directly use the instruments seized from the goblins and slowly find out those magical powers!

But on second thought... if Levid wanted to convey information to Nurmengard through Anne, he would not be able to mention the seized instruments... that would expose him.

Find another reason...for example, the information learned from the manuscripts in the restricted area would be more convincing.

So... what Livid has been planning recently is a plan against Nurmengard?

Tom looked at the manuscript in his hand again...his eyes were full of confusion.

This thing doesn't look fake... Could it be that in order to target Nurmengard, Levid actually found all the information about that kind of magical power in the restricted area?

"Although these manuscripts are incomplete, I can still roughly guess some of their locations..."

Li Weide added, "However, I haven't found any further information about Professor Morgana...so I don't know if those magical powers are still there after all these years...Was she taken them away, or are there still some left?"

Anne looked at the manuscripts, appearing calm on the surface, but deep down she was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Because most of the locations recorded in the manuscript were the same as those recorded in the notebook he had stolen from the restricted area before!

Moreover, she has explored most of these places herself!

It's just a pity that there is nothing there anymore.

However, she finally got the answer from Li Weide.

The reason why the places she explored were empty was that they were probably taken away by Professor Morgana herself or someone else who discovered this power.

After all... Professor Morgana was a figure from many years ago. After so many years, it's not surprising that many things have changed...

Annie couldn't help but feel a little anxious. What if... all this magical power was gone?

"Wade, can you guess all the places where this magical power might exist?" Annie asked anxiously.

Li Weide said with some embarrassment, "This is difficult, Annie. Even though I have collected a lot of manuscripts, the clues are still too limited."

"That's right..." Annie also felt that she was a little impatient.

No matter how capable Li Weide was, it would be impossible for him to find all those locations based on these incomplete manuscripts.

Moreover, based on the few locations speculated by Li Weide, the notebook he took out at the beginning might have been written by Professor Morgana!

In other words, the places recorded above may all be the locations of this magical power!

Therefore, she may not need to get more addresses from Li Weide at all!

Thinking of this, Anne's mood became brighter again!

She couldn't wait to report this information to Nurmengard!

"Although there are only a few locations at the moment, we can explore them first. Maybe we can find some new clues besides finding some magical powers!"

Li Weide said, looking at Tom, "Tom, are you coming?"

Tom understood and nodded immediately, "Of course! Only a fool would not want something that can improve their strength!"

Li Weide looked at Annie with a smile, "What about you?"

"I...of course I went too! I'm not a fool!" Annie responded quickly.

In fact, Anne didn't really want to go, because she had actually been to most of the places listed by Li Weide.

Besides, there is nothing in those places!

In other words, if Li Weide went, he would be doomed to gain nothing.

But she couldn't refuse.

She was so interested just now, if she suddenly doesn't want to go now, that would be really suspicious!

"Well then! Better today than tomorrow! Tonight... Tom and I have to go to the Forbidden Forest for detention again. After so many visits, we've become somewhat familiar with the environment outside the Forbidden Forest."

"So, this time we can choose a new route halfway and explore this place! It doesn't matter if we delay a little. We can just tell Mr. Ogg that we didn't get lost by accident."

Li Weide pointed to an address on the parchment and said.

This location can be said to be the closest to Hogwarts among these locations.

And Annie recognized this place at a glance.

She remembered that this was the first place she explored...

Anne asked, "Well...you all have legitimate reasons for going to the Forbidden Forest, so what should I do?"

She found this to be a good reason to refuse to go along.

"Don't worry, I'll go find Professor Slughorn. I'll tell him that you're also curious about the Forbidden Forest and want to go and see it. I'll ask him to find a reason to put you in the Forbidden Forest as well!" Levid said with a smile.

Anne's smile froze. "Then... thank you so much..."

I said these words of thanks through gritted teeth.

You devil! Who would volunteer for detention? And... you applied for me!

The weather is so cold, wouldn't it be nice to just stay in bed and rest at night?! Why would I even want to go to the Forbidden Forest to enjoy the breeze?

Annie was filled with grief and indignation. After all, she had just been allowed to not go to the Forbidden Forest to enjoy the fresh air at night, but now...

It would be better not to hand the notebook in! That way, you can get more credit!

"That's a happy decision! Annie, go back and prepare to go to the Forbidden Forest. You have never been there before." Li Weide said considerately.

"Okay...see you tonight," Annie said with a forced smile.

"By the way, the fewer people who know about this, the better... This kind of thing that can significantly improve strength is too sensitive. It is an irresistible temptation for anyone." Li Weide warned.

"it is good……"

After Annie leaves the Room of Requirement.

Li Weide stood up and said tentatively in his heart: "I need a temporary passage to the secret passage on the fourth floor."

The Room of Requirement suddenly changed.

Then, in front of Tom's astonished eyes, a new entrance appeared on the original wall...

……

"Crack!"

In the secret passage, Tom watched quietly as the entrance behind him closed again.

The surroundings instantly fell into a pitch-black silence.

Suddenly, a soft yellow light lit up in the secret passage.

Li Weide held a lit candle in his hand, illuminating the darkness around him.

"If you have any questions, you can ask them now." Li Weide asked while holding a candle.

Tom asked, "Why don't you use a wand for lighting instead of candles?"

Li Weide was stunned for a moment, "I'm giving you a chance to ask questions... Are you sure you just want to ask this question?"
