Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

After spending half the night reading, Leivide actually found a potion for nurturing magical creatures.

The book stated that this potion could increase the intelligence of magical creatures and make them stronger…

After looking at the ingredients in this recipe, Leivide judged that it might also be a recipe from the future.

Because these ingredients were all very common now, it was just that there were a lot of processing steps required.

Leivide guessed that it was possible that in the future, many potion ingredients had disappeared, and the potion masters of the future had no choice but to use existing materials, undergoing various processes, to make them achieve the medicinal effects of potion ingredients that had once existed…

However, this also had its advantages. At least for Leivide, who was in this era, the cost of this kind of potion recipe was not as expensive as in the future.

This time, Leivide didn't even need to trouble Toby to go to Knockturn Alley again. He simply used the materials he had on hand to brew this nutrient solution specifically for cultivating magical creatures.

After successfully brewing it, he immediately ran downstairs excitedly and came to Tom the cat, who was curled up in front of the living room fireplace, fast asleep.

Tom the cat lazily raised its head, glanced at Leivide, and then glanced at the bottle of potion in his hand.

“Meow~” Tom the cat cried out in refusal.

It was a cat, not a toad, and couldn't test potions!

However, when Leivide opened the potion bottle, Tom the cat immediately widened its eyes and came closer.

It approached Leivide, gently licking the back of Leivide's hand, and then looked at the potion bottle in Leivide's hand with longing eyes.

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

“Is it that fragrant?” He muttered to himself, then used a cat hair from the ground to transform it into a plate and placed it in front of Tom the cat.

He first poured a little bit into the plate, and then pushed it in front of Tom the cat.

Tom the cat helplessly glanced at its stingy owner, then lay down in front of the plate and licked the potion in the plate clean in a few strokes.

“Meow~”

“You want more? But… I can't control the dosage…”

“Meow!”

“Okay, okay, okay! It's all for you…” This time, Leivide poured half a bottle down.

Tom the cat happily lay beside the plate and cheerfully drank the potion.

It seemed that this thing was even more delicious than the dried small fish that Toby had specially prepared for it…

After drinking half a bottle, Tom the cat still licked the plate with some unfinished business.

Seeing this, Leivide simply poured the rest in.

“If you can't drink it, then don't drink it…”

However, although Leivide instructed him like this, Tom the cat still licked the potion in that plate completely clean.

After Tom the cat was full, it rubbed the back of Leivide's hand with its head, and then walked back to the fireplace with cat-like steps, lying down in its favorite spot.

When Leivide approached to see its condition, Tom the cat was already snoring in its sleep…

“This… It seems that this potion can make magical creatures sleepy… I don't know what the effect is.”

Although the books given by the system didn't say what side effects this potion had, Leivide was still a little worried as he looked at Tom the cat, who was fast asleep.

Out of concern for Tom the cat, and out of curiosity about the effect of the potion.

Leivide didn't go back to his room, but lay on the sofa in the living room, reading a book while waiting for Tom the cat to wake up on its own.

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

Leivide immediately put down the book, approached, and carefully checked Tom the cat's body.

However, it didn't seem to have anything wrong with it.

Leivide stroked his chin, pondering, it seemed that this potion really didn't have any side effects… As for sleepiness, many healing potions have it, so it's not a big deal.

As for the effect, it might be that it has only just started taking it, and the effect is not obvious.

Just as Leivide was thinking this, he saw Tom the cat smile at him, and then stretch out its paw and point to its mouth.

Leivide widened his eyes and looked at Tom the cat with a question mark on his face.

Tom the cat seemed a little disappointed to see that Leivide was unmoved, so… it went to the cabinet next to it where the dried small fish were stored, opened the cabinet, and took out a can of dried small fish…

“Perhaps… maybe I'm not awake yet?”

Leivide rubbed his eyes hard and looked at Tom the cat again.

He saw Tom the cat standing in front of the cabinet, unscrewing the can, and then picking out the biggest dried small fish, throwing it into its mouth, and eating it with a munching sound, with a very intoxicated expression on its face…

“Fuck…”

Realizing that this was really happening, Leivide exclaimed in shock.

This was really ghostly!

Which cat walks like a human, and then goes to get something to eat like a human?

Yes, it was walking upright like a human, and “taking” things to eat like a human!

Moreover, it was smiling like a human!

Tom the cat was startled by Leivide's exclamation, and the can of dried small fish in its hand almost fell down.

It turned its head and saw that Leivide's face was not very good, and seemed to think that its owner was blaming it for stealing food, and quickly smiled shyly and put the can of dried small fish back, and then put its “hand” behind its back, pretending to inadvertently close the cabinet door with its foot…

“It's over… it's really become Tom the cat…”

…

Due to Tom the cat's special changes, that night, Leivide brewed that kind of potion again non-stop.

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

If this potion really works on all magical creatures... that's far superior to that nutrient solution from before!

At that time, it wouldn't be impossible to create an army of magical creatures!

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

Leivde hid in his room, quietly observing the Kneazle.

Tom the cat was sulking in his nest, watching Leivde.

Because his master had actually found another cat last night!

And fed it that delicious sweet water!

Hmph! Angry!

Without a single mistake, from beginning to end!

After Leivde explained that he was just doing an experiment, Tom the cat barely refrained from rebelling.

But this shocked Leivde even more, because Tom the cat now seemed to completely understand him, no matter how complex his sentences were...

It wasn't until early the next morning that the extra Kneazle he had picked up finally woke up.

Under Leivde's expectant gaze, the Kneazle only looked around warily, and then began to hiss at Leivde.

Because it remembered that it was this hateful human who had captured it.

Leivde spent a lot of effort, even having Tom the cat assist, before reluctantly discovering that although this Kneazle seemed to have become a lot more clever, it hadn't undergone such a drastic change as Tom the cat!

In other words... was there some unknown factor that caused the change in Tom the cat?

Was this just an unrepeatable accident?

After this, Leivde locked himself in his room and did many more experiments.

He changed many of the small magical creatures used for the experiments, but without exception, they were only a little more clever than before, and their bodies were only a little stronger, but none of them had undergone a change like Tom.

In other words, Tom the cat's change should just be a random phenomenon caused by one of his steps...

In order to find out which was the key, Leivde specifically entered the dreamland and asked the busy senior.

After hearing Leivde's discovery, the senior checked Tom the cat's body and its dreams with great interest, and even possessed Tom the cat again to experience it.

"It's the power of ancient magic and nightmare magic... Leivde," the senior finally concluded.

"Ancient magic and nightmare magic?" Leivde was a little surprised. "I used ancient magic to strengthen its Transfiguration, and I also used nightmare magic. Is it because of this?"

"Not because of you, but because of me..." the senior said, "When I possessed it, because I had to use its brain... therefore, my power unintentionally strengthened its brain and soul... You can check and find that its current brain capacity is much more developed than other Kneazles."

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

"This is the most wonderful part. Your potion can make magical creatures stronger and smarter... and the ancient magic power and nightmare magic power I left in its brain happened to amplify the effect of this potion." The senior smiled: "In fact, even if you didn't make this potion, if I possessed it more often, it would gradually become smarter. Your potion just shortened this process. It's really amazing... Leivde, you seem to have unintentionally created a miracle of life."

Leivde looked at Tom the cat's consciousness, which was now sleeping in the dreamland, 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 smiled, "In other words, its body has also been strengthened..."

After a long while, Leivde woke up from his dream. He stared blankly at the ceiling, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.

In other words, Tom the cat's brain capacity gradually became the shape of the senior's in the senior's repeated possessions, so it became more and more intelligent, and then, under the strengthening of that potion, it became what it is now.

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

Leivde believed that as long as he dared to make such a request, the senior would dare to give him nightmares for ten years...

My army of magical creatures...

"Meow?" Tom the cat also woke up at this time, looking at Leivde with a longing expression, as if asking Leivde for the potion.

"I'm not in the mood, go brew it yourself. You've watched it so many times, you should have learned it..." Leivde said casually.

Then... he was surprised to see Tom the cat deftly setting up the cauldron, lighting the fire, processing the ingredients, and stirring the cauldron...

Leivde was silent. I really said it casually, you're really doing it!?

Just then, Leivde's door was opened, and Tom walked in.

"Did you die in the room? School starts tomorrow, are you ready... no..." Tom's words became a little unnatural towards the end.

Because he was seeing a cat brewing a potion like a human...

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

"What?"

"Are you still quibbling? I'm already hallucinating!"
