Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

After finishing the experiment, Levid immediately cleaned up the laboratory.

The potency of these stupefying draught dung bombs is very strong. If they were to accidentally explode, he might have to sleep in the wizard's tower for a century…

After carefully tidying up those stupefying draught dung bombs.

Levid looked at the Niffler, wanting to release it back into the Forbidden Forest.

“Well… thank you for your contribution to my experiment. In that case, I'll give you a sweet dream as a reward.”

As Levid spoke, he gently tapped the Niffler's head with his wand.

In the next second, the Niffler's tightly furrowed brow immediately relaxed.

Even the corners of its mouth showed a hint of human-like smile.

This was also Levid's habit.

Whether it was fleecing magical creatures or using them for experiments.

After it was over, he would give the other party a sweet dream as a reward.

This could both train his Nightmare Magic and comfort his dwindling conscience, thus eliminating some of the negative effects of dark magic.

Thinking about it this way, he felt it was quite a bargain.

Levid let the Niffler sleep there, then turned his attention back to the study of the "residue."

“This is truly a magic that makes people love and hate…” Levid sighed.

After fighting Annie, Levid had already obtained the approximate amplification data.

Levid compared this data with Annie's previous data.

Annie's magic intensity had increased by about one percent.

One cannot underestimate this one percent increase in magic intensity!

This is a strengthening of the wizard's basic stats!

Afterwards, the amplifications brought about by emotions, concentration, and the like are all built on this foundation!

Levid had already collected enough data after beating up Tom and so many pure-blood young wizards.

Although Tom is now stronger than those of the same age.

But if it's just testing magic intensity, with Tom's current good talent, his basic magic intensity is only about one to two percent stronger than those ordinary pure-blood young wizards!

One percent intensity, plus the strengthening of emotions, concentration, and proficiency, this one percent intensity will be amplified several times again.

After Tom was forced into a dead end, he suddenly could easily cast a complete Shield Charm, which is the most powerful proof that emotions and concentration have an additional amplification effect on magic intensity.

Therefore, after Annie increased her magic intensity by one percent, the change was so great.

Moreover, after feeling the increase in strength, Annie's self-confidence made her magic several times stronger.

In this way, even advanced spells like the Lightning Explosion, she could completely release it…

Levid suddenly thought of something.

That is, after Tom became Voldemort, his face was completely changed.

This was a sequela brought about by many failed dark magic transformations.

Undoubtedly, although these dark magic transformations failed, they still greatly increased his basic stats.

Otherwise, his magic intensity would not have suddenly become so strong.

According to the normal growth cycle, if Tom wanted to reach Dumbledore's magic intensity, he would have to settle down for at least a few more decades.

However, Tom in his fifties or sixties was already able to fight Dumbledore on equal footing.

In that battle in the Ministry of Magic, if Voldemort hadn't been too cautious and afraid to risk his life, it would have been hard to say who would have won.

“It's a pity that this 'residue' is brought about by negative emotions. It's harmful to the human body…” Levid said again regretfully.

Suddenly, Levid frowned. He had discovered a blind spot.

In the beginning, Professor Morgana discovered this "residue" entirely because she wanted to help her father get rid of his sad emotions.

Later, she indulged in the power that this "residue" brought her, so she uncontrollably collected negative emotions at Hogwarts…

That is to say… if I didn't use negative emotions to extract the residue in the first place, but used happy emotions instead?

“Hiss…” Levid became excited and immediately took out a ball of "residue" and began to study it.

But after a long while, Levid's face was filled with disappointment.

After Professor Morgana lost control, she was not limited to extracting negative emotions, she extracted all of people's emotions!

Whether it was sadness, happiness, anger…

People who had all their emotions taken away briefly turned into empty shells without emotional fluctuations.

At that time, many of the Hogwarts students became like puppets… without joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.

Therefore, the professors at Hogwarts were able to discover Morgana's plan so quickly at that time.

“Alas… what a pity!” Levid sighed regretfully.

At this time, the Niffler over there turned over in its sleep, and the smile on its face still remained.

The sweet dream that Levid gave it filled its heart with joy…

“Wait…” Levid suddenly widened his eyes again. He had discovered another blind spot again.

A normal person, especially a student who stays in school and studies hard every day, must have mostly negative emotions!

That is to say, the "residue" that Professor Morgana extracted from the students in the first place was mostly negative emotions!

This is also consistent with the results Levid tested out just now!

In this case… if I only extract happy emotions and then make them into "residue", what will be the effect?

Without the influence of negative emotions, then, will this "residue" still have the negative effect of distorting people's personalities?!

Also, if it's just pure happy emotions, will this "residue" still have such a powerful amplification effect?

This new guess made Levid excited again.

Levid picked up his wand and planned to extract some happy emotions from himself.

But… if he can't feel happiness, then it will also have a certain impact on the research…

Thinking of this, Levid's evil gaze fell on the happy little kitty in the distance.

“Sorry, little kitty… I promise to give you two more sweet dreams, how about it?”

The sleeping Niffler's tranquil face was gradually covered by a black shadow…

…

“So that's how it is…” Levid extracted the "residue" from his body with some frustration.

Only this time, the "residue" was completely pure white, completely different from the previous black with red, and red with silver.

Overall, the feeling was also completely different from the previous one.

Levid had accidentally absorbed a small amount of the previous "residue" before.

It also allowed the ancient magic power in his body to awaken in advance.

When absorbing that kind of "residue", although one could feel a strange sense of pleasure produced by the soaring strength.

However, hidden in this sense of pleasure was a strange sense of guilt.

This sense of guilt was like secretly doing something that makes people feel happy, and then being afraid of being discovered…

And now this new "residue" can also bring people a sense of pleasure.

However, this pleasure is a very pure kind of pleasure, without any sense of guilt.

It's as if you just played a game of ball, and the happiness you get is reasonable and legal…

It's a pity that, after testing, Leewood discovered that this white "residue" only offered a relatively limited increase to a person's base magical power.

It didn't provide as much enhancement as the previous "residue".

The reason for this was that the previous "residue" contained all sorts of emotions.

In other words, using that kind of "residue" to strengthen oneself allowed one to adapt to spells requiring all kinds of emotions!

Because all kinds of spells require emotions, and these "residues" contained them all!

But now, this white one… seems to only strengthen things like the Patronus Charm.

Also, because a single emotion isn't as strong as a combination of emotions, this incomplete "residue" doesn't enhance a wizard's magical power as much as combined emotions do…

"Combined emotions, huh…" Leewood didn't remain discouraged for long before starting another experiment.

This time, he used ancient magic to analyze the "residue" with combined emotions.

Then, he very patiently separated the emotions within, roughly dividing them into three major categories: joy, anger, and sorrow, placing them in three separate glass bottles.

This work took him a very long time…

Afterward, he patiently divided the three major categories of emotions into almost identical portions, and then used ancient magic again to extract them, forming a new "residue"!

In this residue, three equal categories of emotions were forcibly bound by ancient magic, forming a balance…

As soon as Leewood extracted this clump of residue, he felt its power.

In Leewood's vision, if the amount of these emotions were equal and maintained balance, they would cancel each other out and would not affect the host's emotions at all.

However, after Leewood absorbed this "residue," he found that he didn't receive any enhancement at all!

Leewood helplessly extracted the "residue" again.

It was truly a case of success and failure both stemming from balance.

Even though this "residue" contained greater enhancement power than the previous ones, because it was too balanced, it not only negated the negative effects, but also eliminated the positive ones…

This was a bit awkward…

Leewood adjusted the "residue" again.

Fortunately, he remembered the proportions of each emotion in the "residue" that Professor Morgana had extracted before.

Therefore, he deliberately swapped the proportions of joy and anger.

The previous "residue" had significant side effects, entirely because the proportion of anger was too high, as anger contained essential emotions for dark magic, such as hatred…

Now, with sorrow unchanged, anger and joy were completely swapped…

This time, the "residue" turned into a silver-red, red-black mist…

Leewood absorbed this "residue" again.

"It works!"

Leewood was pleasantly surprised to find that the side effects of this "residue" were much less than before!

Moreover, the enhancement was hardly reduced!

Of course, there were still side effects, similar to… the feeling of having too much Felix Felicis, a bit too excited…

Although this side effect was still not ideal, it was still a huge improvement.

If he couldn't find a better solution in the end, he would simply transform the "residue" in his senior's body into a completely balanced form and then absorb it, which would have no side effects at all.

Of course, in that case, there would be no enhancement either.

However, these large quantities of "residue" would not disappear as a result; in the future, he and his senior, who had turned danger into safety, could slowly explore ways to use it…

Leewood tidied up the lab again and returned the happy emotions extracted from the Kneazle back to it.

Just as Leewood put the happy emotions back, the Kneazle opened its eyes.

Leewood couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It turned out that his experiment had taken too long, so this Kneazle had simply woken up…

"Alright, thank you very much for your help. I'll take you home now."

The Kneazle didn't meow, just quietly looked at Leewood.

Seeing that the Kneazle didn't actively attack, Leewood tentatively reached out to it.

Oddly enough, the Kneazle not only didn't resist at all, but actively rubbed its head against Leewood's palm.

"Huh? What's going on?" Leewood was a little surprised.

Although he didn't know what had happened, since the Kneazle didn't object, Leewood picked it up and Apparated to the place in the Forbidden Forest where he had caught it.

"Go on."

Leewood put the Kneazle down and prepared to leave.

However, he quickly felt his robe being tugged.

Leewood turned around and found that the Kneazle was biting the corner of his robe.

Looking at the affection in the Kneazle's eyes, Leewood suddenly understood.

According to the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," once a Kneazle takes a liking to a wizard, it will become their most suitable pet…

This Kneazle clearly liked Leewood!

Leewood frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly understood something.

It seemed that when he had just put the happy emotions back, it had woken up, and then…

In its eyes, Leewood had become the person who could bring it happiness.

No animal dislikes the person who brings them happiness.

The Kneazle was certainly no exception.

So…

"Hiss… are you saying you want to come with me?" Leewood asked.

"Meow~"

"Uh… but, wizards need a license to keep Kneazles… I don't have one yet…"

"Meow~"

"Alright, alright! You can come with me, but you can't hurt anyone without my permission!"

Thinking of the Kneazle's peculiarities, Leewood finally decided to take it back.

"Meow!" The Kneazle nodded human-like.

"Hiss… no wonder they're called fantastic beasts! They can even understand human speech!" Leewood said in surprise.

"Um… but I can't take you back like this… at least until I get a license, you can't look like a Kneazle." Leewood picked up his wand, "If you're going to follow me, I have to change your appearance."

Suddenly, Leewood had a mischievous smile.

A moment later, the Kneazle's appearance had completely changed, turning into a British Shorthair Blue Bicolor cat with beautiful blue fur and wearing "white socks."

The Kneazle licked its tail a little uncomfortably, then looked at Leewood pitifully.

"Alright, from today on, you'll be called Tom!" Leewood said cheerfully.

Far away in Hogwarts Castle, Tom suddenly sneezed loudly.

"Huh? What's going on? Why do I keep feeling like someone is calling my name?"
