Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 264 What is stealing? That's too ugly! I'm borrowing!
Morning, auditorium.

"Potatoes... potatoes... nothing but potatoes."

Li Weide looked at the food in front of him and lost his appetite.

Because he stayed up late to do experiments last night and drank too much invigorating potion, Li Weide is still very excited.

"You can have oatmeal," said Tom, pushing a bowl of porridge over.

"To be honest, I'm a little tempted to give a cookbook to the house-elves in the kitchen." Li Weide took the oatmeal porridge helplessly.

"Better not..." Tom said without looking up from the fried eggs in front of him.

"Why not? This way, at least we don't have to keep enjoying these British 'delicacies'. I mean, at least we can have some French food... Henry, pass me a sausage." Li Weide said.

"Because I sent it to them a long time ago." Tom said helplessly.

"Huh? Then?"

"And then? You should know those guys!" Tom said angrily, "I regretted it as soon as I sent the recipe. Have you ever seen hundreds of house-elves crying?"

"In fact, I've only seen one elf, Toby, cry bitterly," Livid replied.

"You're lucky!" Tom said angrily. "These guys have weird minds! They actually think I despise their cooking skills... The house-elves who were in charge of cooking that day were so sad that they almost smashed the stove with their heads!"

"This... is certainly something a house-elf would do," Levid said, rubbing his chin. "But you're certainly partly responsible, too."

"What's my responsibility?" said Tom dissatisfiedly.

Li Weide shook his head and said, "You must have said the wrong thing. In fact, sometimes the art of language can avoid many bad consequences... What did you tell them at that time?"

"Me? I told them at the time that everyone was tired of eating the same food all the time, so I asked them to come up with some new dishes according to the new menu... Who knew they would react so strongly?" Tom said, grabbing his hair.

"If you say this to your cook, there will be no problem. But for the house-elves, it's like the sky is falling. Since you also understand the elves' thought process, you should change your way of saying it." Li Weide said lazily while biting a sausage.

"What would you say?" asked Tom.

"First, praise their cooking skills. Everyone likes the food they cook! Guess how they will react?" asked Li Weide.

"Excited? Grateful?" Tom said with a look of disgust.

"Right, now you can take out the recipe. Then tell them that you are such good cooks, you will definitely be able to master more dishes easily. So, I brought you this recipe book as a gift..."

Tom couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard what Li Weide said.

Considering the personalities of those house-elves, if Levid said so, they would definitely accept the recipe with great joy, and even try to make new dishes on the spot and let Tom taste them...

"The art of language is to speak the truth to one person and the lies to another... Nick, your new beard looks great!"

At this time, the Gryffindor ghost who was passing by the Slytherin table, almost Headless Nick, smiled happily after hearing these words.

"Ha, you're the first little wizard to notice that I changed my beard style! Even though you're a Slytherin, I have to say you have really good taste!"

Tom was like seeing a ghost, watching Li Weide quickly become friends with Nick, with whom he had never communicated before.

Just because Li Weide casually praised the other person's new beard...

No wonder this bastard is loved by all the professors... He can't learn... He really can't learn...

Tom had no choice but to turn his head and concentrate on his breakfast.

When I looked up, I saw my own owl "Xinsheng" flying in from the skylight of the auditorium.

This is the owl Tom left for his cheap dad. He usually doesn't write letters to himself.

Tom soon noticed that in addition to the letter in his mouth, the "new boy" was also holding a box by his foot.

Tom pushed his breakfast away from him, and the owl swooped down.

After feeding the owl a few biscuits, Tom opened the letter and began to read.

The content of the letter was very simple. Apart from a few simple words of concern, it mentioned the box sent by the owl.

"Is this a box for Li Weide?" Tom looked at Li Weide beside him with some confusion.

At this time, Li Weide was looking at the box with great interest.

Seeing Tom looking over, Li Weide asked, "Is this something your father sent me?"

"Yes..." said Tom.

"Ha, I knew it." Li Weide happily picked up the box and stuffed it into his coat pocket...

Tom was speechless as he watched such a big box disappear into Li Weide's pocket.

"What did you ask my cheap dad to send you?"

“Something very interesting. But… we can’t let anyone see it now,” Li Weide said mysteriously. Tom glanced at the letter in his hand; it also mentioned not to open the box in front of others.

"Wait, let me see it?"

"Of course! In fact, I've prepared a portion of what's in here for you, too."

Tom's curiosity was so aroused that he had no appetite for breakfast.

"Tom! Wade!" Suddenly, Anne hurried over from a distance.

"Good morning, Annie. You're a little late today." Li Weide said enthusiastically.

As soon as Annie sat down, she said anxiously: "Weide, I have some news to..."

Li Weide interrupted her and said, "Have breakfast first."

"Uh..." Annie had no choice but to take the mashed potatoes that Li Weide pushed over...a big plate.

Then, Annie heard a slight voice in her ears.

"Don't panic, it's me. Continue eating your breakfast. I'll teach you a spell that can convey your thoughts to others without speaking..."

Anne was surprised, but she didn't show it on the surface.

After Levander taught her the Whispering Spell, Anne finally understood why Levander and Tom would sometimes look at each other inexplicably...it turned out that they were communicating secretly!
No wonder...these two people set a trap for me so easily...

They can conspire face to face at any time. How can I deal with two people on the opposite side by myself?
Besides, I can't defeat either of these two guys...

Anne was also very talented, and after a simple attempt, she mastered the Whispering Spell.

"If you have any news, you can tell me now." Li Weide said.

The current situation is that Grindelwald already knows Levid's true identity, but he doesn't know that Anne has defected to Levid.

Because the Rosier family is tied to Grindelwald, Grindelwald would not easily suspect that anyone from the Rosier family would defect.

That's why Li Weide chose to be more careful.

"I found out that man is going to give us some kind of test..." Annie said anxiously, but on the surface she was still eating breakfast without raising her head.

With the whispering spell, the three of them no longer need to find a secret place to plot.

"What test?" Tom also asked using the whispering spell.

"He built a big tent in the Forbidden Forest! The tent is divided into many areas, and he has placed dark creatures of varying strengths in each area... Of course, there are also quite a few magical beasts, and they are very aggressive. Our assessment is to enter these areas according to our grade, and then come out safely..." Annie said anxiously.

"How did you know this news?" Li Weide asked.

"In order to help me pass the assessment easily, he took me to see it. He also told me which area is safer... Even now, many dark creatures have not been moved in." Annie said.

Levid nodded. "This must be part of Grindelwald's educational reforms. No wonder Dumbledore and the others reacted so violently earlier... Having students deal with dark creatures is truly too dangerous. To prepare for these assessments, Hogwarts' curriculum will presumably be more practical... Grindelwald is training his students the same way he trains elite Aurors."

Li Weide speculated that many new school rules would be promulgated in the near future.

The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere of Hogwarts may soon be gone...

The word "militarized management" appeared in Li Weide's mind.

Although it may not be as outrageous as Umbridge, it will definitely not be too easy.

Li Weide didn’t really care whether the environment was relaxing or not. What he cared about was that once the castle was put under militarized management, he might not have as much time to carry out his interesting research!
Li Wei De only hopes that old man Grindelwald will take care of himself and not go too far!

But... since it was Grindelwald's plan... then doing something bad to him myself can be considered as practicing justice.

"You mean... he collected a lot of dark creatures?" Li Weide asked, licking his lips.

Anne said, "Yes... I even saw Inferi and female ghosts... He also told me that if werewolves weren't highly contagious and uncontrollable, he would have wanted to capture a few werewolves, use black magic to permanently transform them, and then throw them in..."

"It's crazy...but I like it." Li Weide grinned.

"What do you want to do now?" Tom felt a chill in his heart for no reason when he saw Li Weide's smile.

"I happen to be very interested in dark creatures recently, Tom." Li Weide smiled.

Hearing this, Tom remembered the Dementors that Levid had forcibly tamed...

"You don't want to..."

"Let's go borrow some dark creatures? He has so many of them anyway!" Li Weide said happily.

"I knew it..." Tom put his hand on his forehead. "But what good would you do with those dark creatures? I can understand if you steal any magical creatures..."

"What do you mean by stealing? That's too harsh. I'm borrowing..."
