Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 281 I remembered something happy, my little rooster laid an egg

"I did allow him to come to Hogsmeade once, to visit Aurelius," Dumbledore explained.

Tom finally relaxed after hearing this. "That's good... I'm glad you're not trying to trick me..."

Obviously, Tom was scared by Li Weide and didn't dare to believe what Li Weide said at all.

Tom felt Li Weide's sharp gaze.

"Hey, don't look at me like a traitor. I'm just telling the truth. It was you who really brought me here!" Tom said quickly.

"Okay, you're good, Tom." Li Weide grinned, revealing his white teeth.

Tom felt a sudden rush of emotion in his heart and immediately regretted it.

He knew very well how quickly Li Weide's revenge would come...

Tom turned his gaze towards Dumbledore and quickly noticed that Dumbledore's reddish-brown beard was a little burnt.

"Hey, professor, your beard... It seems that Li Weide really burned your beard yesterday! That's terrible!" Tom said quickly.

Dumbledore couldn't help but stroke his beard, a gratified smile spreading across his face. "Not bad... Wade has made great progress. Of course, Tom, you've made great progress too."

Li Weide glanced at Tom and said, "You must feel very guilty about praising me, right?"

"It's a fact, and I'm telling the truth. How can I say it's against my will?" Tom tried his best to make amends.

At this time, a man came out from behind the bar holding a large box of butterbeer.

After he put down the beer, he revealed a slightly pale and haggard face. It was Aurelius who had just recovered from illness.

"Vide, you're here." Aurelius was delighted to see Livid. "What would you and your friends like to drink? Just tell me, I'll treat you all for free."

Levid saved his and Nagini's lives.

It can be said that Aurelius is now full of gratitude to Livid, and he would not hesitate even if he asked him to die now.

"You're welcome. How's your health lately?" Li Weide said with a smile.

"Great! Better than ever! No need to worry about losing control, no need to force myself... I just feel more comfortable than ever, Vader... And all of this is thanks to you! I don't even know how to repay you!" Aurelius' eyes reddened. "So, no matter what you ask me to do from now on, I won't hesitate!"

"I'm glad you're okay. As for the reward... you've actually already paid it." Li Weide said with a smile.

"I paid?" Aurelius asked doubtfully.

Li Weide looked around the store and found that there weren't many customers. Then he leaned over and whispered, "Remember? I took Mo Mo Ran out of you... It helped me a lot."

"Uh...is that thing really that useful?" Aurelius was puzzled.

For so many years, Mo Mo Ran has been lurking in his body like a malignant tumor.

But now, Li Weide said that this thing is very useful to him?
"Professor Dumbledore also knows about it. It does serve some purposes..."

Aurelius saw Dumbledore nod, then he said again, "Well, I'm glad I didn't cause you any trouble... Well, what do you want to drink? It's all free!"

"Ah... I'd like a glass of sherry at this fine time of day," Dumbledore said happily.

"Uh... I'm sorry, if it's you... you have to pay... my father emphasized that." Aurelius looked at Dumbledore apologetically.

Dumbledore was stunned for a moment and involuntarily scratched his slightly burnt beard.

Li Weide and Tom pretended to look away, and in order to suppress their laughter, they thought about all the tragic things that had happened in their lives.

Dumbledore is still a bit sinister and petty now. If you laugh out loud when he is embarrassed, the special training tomorrow night will definitely be very sour!

"It's okay, give me a glass of sherry, I'll pay..." Dumbledore finally calmed down.

"Okay, one gold galleon per cup." Aurelius took out a cup and placed it on the table, then opened an unopened bottle of sherry.

"One Galleon per glass?" Dumbledore's eyes twitched slightly.

"correct."

“Isn’t this a bit too expensive?”

"Uh... if I sell it to others, it's five silver Sickles per cup. If I sell it to you... it's one gold galleon per cup." Aurelius still looked at his uncle with an apologetic look.

"Puff!" Tom and Li Weide finally couldn't help it.

Dumbledore looked at them.

Li Weide said: "Sorry, I remembered something happy..."

"Me too..." Tom nodded.

Dumbledore turned to look at Aurelius again, and the corners of his mouth began to twitch.

"Is this also what your father ordered?"

"Yes." The honest boy Aurelius nodded.

"Ah... Aberforth... Never mind, never mind... I won't drink it. One Galleon is enough for me to buy a lot of candy."

"But... this sherry has been opened..." Aurelius looked at Dumbledore with a simple face.

"So?" "So... once the bottle is opened, no refunds," Aurelius said. "That's what my father instructed me to do."

"Ah... so I have to buy it?" Dumbledore looked at Aurelius in shock.

"At least buy one cup... I have no choice, I just opened it because you asked for it..." Aurelius smiled.

Dumbledore gasped, "Fine... just... just one drink."

I originally thought that after my nephew got better, my relationship with my brother would get better.

But now it seems... he was overthinking...

"Puchi..." Li Weide couldn't help laughing again.

"What are you laughing at?" Dumbledore said helplessly.

"Sorry, I remembered that my little rooster laid eggs." Li Weide said.

Tom nodded and said, "Me too..."

Dumbledore reluctantly picked up the glass of ridiculously expensive sherry and took a sip carefully, then he couldn't help laughing.

"Sherry at one galleon a glass always tastes much better to me than what I usually drink."

"If it tastes good, I'll sell you the rest." Aurelius placed the opened bottle of sherry in front of Dumbledore.

"Hehehe...Okay, put the wine down." Dumbledore smiled.

"Haha, the boss is really generous!" Aberforth's sarcastic voice came from behind the door curtain.

Then, Aberforth's tall figure was seen walking out from behind the door with a bang.

Behind him, there was a reserved house-elf and a cat walking upright, holding a flower pot covered with a black cloth...

"Huh? Toby?" Tom looked at the elf and the strange cat in surprise.

Obviously, it was Toby, Levitra's house-elf, and Tom the cat, whose name Tom didn't want to say out loud.

It seems that Livid's visit to Aurelius today was not a simple visit.

"Master Wade!" Toby took a big box from Aberforth and stumbled to Lewd.

"Professor, I need an assistant when I do experiments, so I plan to let Toby live in the laboratory temporarily to help me. Is that okay?" Li Weide asked bluntly.

This puzzled Tom who was standing next to him. He didn't know whether Levid knew that Dumbledore was there when he came to the Hog's Head Inn.

However, Levander obviously didn't need to ask Dumbledore's opinion. It would be too easy for a house-elf to hide in Hogwarts.

Moreover, if Levitra said this directly, would Dumbledore really agree? In fact, everyone knew that the experiments Levitra was doing were definitely not very formal, right?
Even though Dumbledore has always trusted Levid, doing experiments always involves risks. Tom feels that no matter how much Dumbledore trusts Levid, he should always consider objective factors.

However, to Tom's surprise, Dumbledore agreed without much thought.

At this moment, Tom remembered what Li Weide had said to him not long ago.

Dumbledore was not afraid that they would do something bad, but that they would do something bad without telling him...

Thinking about it this way, Tom began to understand a little.

As long as the experiments conducted by Levander can be seen by Dumbledore, Dumbledore will not interfere.

Moreover, Dumbledore would only be happy that Levid was willing to demonstrate his experiments in front of him.

It's much better than this guy doing something secretly and then suddenly giving him a big surprise...

Whether it's Principal Dippet or Dumbledore... they're both quite old, and I can't help but feel scared...

Maybe they have already made some deal privately?
"Weid, the things you asked me to help prepare have been put into Toby's box." When Aberforth turned to Lewd, his expression instantly became amiable, in stark contrast to the dark face he had when facing his brother.

"Okay, thank you." Li Weide said gratefully.

"It's okay, you saved Aurelius, I'm willing to do anything you ask me to do!" Aberforth said, looking at Dumbledore again. "If he doesn't allow you to take these things, just tell me and I'll help you!"

Dumbledore spread his hands, "I have already agreed..."

"You'd better," said Aberforth.

"Oh... Aberforth, I am your brother after all. You have to give me a little face." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"Face? Then go ask her if she's willing to let me give you face." Aberforth pointed in the direction of the door curtain unhappily.

Dumbledore sighed, said nothing more, and continued to drink his sherry in frustration...

Behind the door curtain was a portrait of Ariana... The hurt caused to Aberforth by that incident in the past had made him hostile towards his brother to this day.

For the sake of the greater good, he would do what Dumbledore asked him to do, but to ask him to face Dumbledore with a friendly face... that was impossible.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold, Tom rolled his eyes and quickly said, "Weid, what did you ask Aberforth to bring you?"

"Oh... some very interesting experimental instruments. In addition to some that were custom-made, some were bought from Muggles." Levid looked at the big box in Toby's hand with joy.
