Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 347 Worried about your safety? I think being your friend might be more dangerous! (10,000-word chapter)
"Our captain! Charles...Charles Bulstrode!" the Auror said hurriedly.

The Auror's heart almost stopped in fear. After all, the world-famous dark wizard, Grindelwald, was pulling him by the collar with a ferocious look on his face...

Now he just hoped that Grindelwald would not lose control and kill himself with a killing curse.

"Bersted?" Li Weide touched his chin.

"Do you know him?" Grindelwald turned and asked.

"I don't know him, but the surname Burst is one of the twenty-eight holy clans... It's a very pure-blooded family." Li Weide said.

"What are you talking about now, pure-blood or not? Does it matter?" Grindelwald frowned.

"Is it really not important?" Li Weide asked back.

Grindelwald was stunned for a moment, then gradually calmed down and slowly loosened his grip on the Auror's collar.

"Ugh..." The poor Auror fainted after Grindelwald let go of his hand.

The Aurors who were asked to stay behind to guard the gate were relatively inexperienced...

Grindelwald's behavior just now was a bit too stimulating for a new Auror.

"Pure-blood..." Grindelwald sensed something was amiss in this matter.

Logically, he wouldn't dare to provoke his Welfare Minister or the pure-blood family that depended on him, but now they are taking the risk of offending him by taking on things!

Boster took the person away so blatantly that he didn't even notice it.

Besides, everyone has left, why leave someone to guard the door of this empty tent?

This proves that the other party took the person away secretly! Leaving someone at the door is to prevent himself from discovering that the person is missing immediately!
This is totally wrong!
Li Wei De took out a bottle of joy potion and poured it into the unconscious Auror...

Dumbledore watched Levid's actions with satisfaction, while not forgetting to glare at Grindelwald.

When Grindelwald saw Dumbledore's expression, he suddenly felt like vomiting.

Now that Levid is feeding the Auror potions, you think he is a good person...

If you felt sorry for that Auror, why didn't you stop me just now?
"Where did he take his men?" asked Dumbledore.

The Auror who had just woken up was finally less frightened under the effect of the euphoria potion. He pointed his finger tremblingly to the east.

Dumbledore looked towards the east and realized that going east was the direction of Hogwarts...

Grindelwald said nothing, but silently took a flying broom from the hand of a witch next to him.

"Whoosh!"

Watching Grindelwald's back soaring into the sky, Dumbledore looked at Headmaster Dippet.

"Go ahead, I'll watch from here," said Principal Dippet.

Dumbledore nodded, then flew up and chased after Grindelwald...

"Aren't you going?" Principal Dippet turned to look at Li Weide and asked.

"There's no point in me going. If the two of them set out together, it seems like not many people can stop them." Li Weide said.

"That's not your character, Wade. I thought you'd be curious..." said Principal Dippet.

"The point is, given the abilities he's shown, after all this time, I don't think I'll get any useful information by chasing him now." Li Weide shrugged. "So, it's best for me to stay and help the healers. You know, my healing skills are pretty good."

Headmaster Dippet stroked his beard and said, "Actually, it's okay for you to go with them. I've just checked around, and no students are seriously injured. With the healers from St. Mungo's here, the minor injuries the students have sustained can be healed in no time."

Li Weide's pupils shrank slightly. "No one was seriously injured?"

"Yes, I have to say, it's a miracle..." Headmaster Dippet said with a long sigh of relief, "Thank goodness... Otherwise, I don't know if Hogwarts can continue to operate."

Li Weide just felt very strange. When he rushed to the front of the car, he clearly saw that many students were seriously injured!
"You look strange?" asked Principal Dippet.

"It's really strange... When I got off the bus earlier, I clearly saw many people were seriously injured..." said Li Weide.

"Is there such a thing? I'll go ask other students." Principal Dippet said, then turned and left quickly.

Everything that happened today seemed full of weirdness.

"I guess it was the old witch who helped cure it." Tom's voice came from the side.

Li Weide turned to look at him, "Did you see it?"

"No... She's the strangest person on the train today! And judging by her behavior, she seems to be a friend, not an enemy." Tom said, "You saw that protective magic, too. We've never seen it before... Not everyone has the ability to cast magic like that... So, if those seriously injured people are healed, it's most likely her."

"Where is she?" asked Li Weide.

"She disappeared in the blink of an eye...and...she seemed to have seen through your last resort." Tom said in a deep voice.

Li Weide was obviously a little surprised. By now, there were not many people who could easily see through his nightmare magic.

At the very least, it would take a wizard like Grindelwald to notice something was amiss...

"She has such ability, but she just stands there and watches? I'm still a child!" Li Weide frowned.

Regardless of Li Weide's current strength, he at least looks like a teenager of thirteen or fourteen. An average adult wizard wouldn't watch him take on so many enemies alone! Furthermore, that old witch is obviously very powerful...

"Annie asked, but she said she is not good at fighting and only knows some auxiliary magic... Also, can you please stop saying things like you are just a child? It makes me want to vomit..." Tom said helplessly.

Li Weide automatically filtered Tom's words, and then said that he couldn't believe a single punctuation mark in the old witch's words.

A nurse who only knows how to use support magic? Come on! This isn't a game!

"Let's not talk about it for now. Let's go and see how the others are doing." Li Weide said.

"Hmm..." Tom caught up and suddenly asked with a whispering spell, "Why didn't you tell Dumbledore and the others that they were coming for you?"

Li Weide turned his head and looked at him, "You think too much, I just didn't have time to say it."

Tom looked at him suspiciously. "To be honest, if you hadn't killed so many wizards yourself, I would have thought you had recruited them all just to put on a show for you..."

"I don't have such a powerful force, and attacking the Hogwarts Express is stupid, Tom...but I am indeed being targeted." Li Weide replied.

"I'm not surprised at all that you're being targeted... A tall tree attracts the wind. Don't you notice that you've been a little too popular lately?" Tom frowned.

"You mean, they want to get something from me?" Li Weide also understood what Tom meant.

"Why not? Wade... don't you know the true value of the things you brought out? Just the dragon pox potion you made earlier is enough to revive a declining pure-blood family! I remember... your formula hasn't been officially announced, right? When Professor Slughorn handed over the formula, the healers at St. Mungo's signed a contract not to disclose it!"

"Oh? How did you know?"

"Damn it... Don't you read the newspaper?! Besides, you can easily come up with an unprecedented formula, and you don't seem to care at all... Doesn't this prove that you have many other more valuable things? You're just like a three-year-old kid parading around with a big gold brick! There aren't many people in this world who follow the rules, but there are a lot of desperadoes who don't! Not everyone is afraid of your family who lives thousands of miles away! You're out of reach, don't you understand? If I were you, I'd go back to the safe house and hide well! Anyway, you don't really need to come to school, you bastard!"

Li Weide snapped his fingers. "Your analysis is correct, Tom. I think so too. Hmm... It seems that you have indeed grown a lot over the years. However... I still have to go to Hogwarts... This is related to our career. I just fought hard and the impact has been made. Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot! How can I hide?"

"What do you want?" Tom couldn't understand Li Weide's thinking. Shouldn't his life be more important? You know, no matter how powerful Li Weide is, it's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark! Even lions have their naps!

"What should I do? Tom...didn't I tell you a long time ago? Long live Hydra!"

……

The Hogwarts Express is temporarily out of service.

Aurors drove the Thestrals over from the direction of Hogwarts.

Hogwarts has not been closed yet, and the students must return to school safely before making further plans.

The students boarded the carriages one after another...

In front of an empty carriage, Principal Dippet found Li Weide who was about to get on.

"Those seriously injured students were indeed healed by that mysterious witch..." Principal Dippet said, "But we don't know who she is... Ms. Pukins, who originally sold snacks, couldn't come due to illness, so she took over temporarily."

"Not even a name?" Li Weide asked.

"Yes. Her registered name is... Herora Paris. I asked the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic to check, and I believe there will be results soon. After all, selling snacks on the express train must first be approved by the Ministry of Magic, so there will definitely be records." Principal Dippet sighed, "Although she left quietly, which is a bit suspicious, she did save many students. We cannot deny this..."

Tom said, "Maybe she just doesn't like the spotlight... unlike someone else. So she left after the matter was resolved."

Li Weide pretended not to hear the sting in his words, "It is indeed possible... Well, it would be best if it is because of this. That would at least prove that she is a good person..."

"Roar!"

In the distance, the giant woke up, and a large group of Aurors, led by Newt, tried to subdue it.

"Principal, what will happen to the giant?" Hagrid, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

Principal Dippet had obviously met Hagrid before and was aware of Hagrid's special situation, so he was not surprised by Hagrid's question.

"The Ministry of Magic will first find out which giant tribe he comes from. That way, we can also find out who hired him... As for this giant..." Principal Dippet paused, "He attacked the wizard, Hagrid."

The meaning is very clear. After getting the information, it is the date of the giant's death.

Wizards can reluctantly accept the coexistence of these non-human creatures, but that must be based on the premise of non-aggression.

And now, the giant broke the rules.

Hagrid said nothing, then climbed into the carriage...

Principal Dippet looked at Levid again, "After this incident, many students may have opinions about giants, and as a result... they may vent their emotions on Hagrid, so..."

If a giant attacks, many students will hate giants even more. Although almost no one knows that Hagrid is a half-giant, his large size makes it easy for people with ulterior motives to make associations... and serious bullying may then occur.

"I understand. Isn't the purpose of establishing a mutual aid society to deal with these issues?" Li Weide agreed.

After chatting for a while, Li Weide also got on the carriage.

The Thestral carriage soared into the sky...

Li Weide looked at the Hogwarts Express lying on the ground with a flickering look in his eyes.

……

By the time the carriages arrived one after another, night had already fallen.

When Li Weide got off the carriage, he could still see many traces of battle at the school gate...

At this time, there were also many people at the entrance of Hogwarts, most of whom were Aurors from the Ministry of Magic.

Hogwarts had just been attacked, so how could the Ministry of Magic not send Aurors to guard it?
After Li Weide got off the car, he saw Elena following Professor McGonagall from a distance.

Elena had arrived long ago.

It was agreed that she would take a carriage and deliberately arrive later than the train.

After all, she was a transfer student and felt a little embarrassed, so she wanted to wait until the sorting ceremony began and then send her to the sorting house. This way, it wouldn't be too embarrassing for her.

But this year something unexpected happened and the Hogwarts Express was attacked.

The investigation and treatment took a long time before the students finally returned to school in the hastily arrived Thestral carriages.

The professors spread out and welcomed the students into the school gate.

"You're finally here! What happened?" Elena came up and asked anxiously.

"It's hard to explain, Elena... You have encountered a major event that only happens once in a thousand years." Li Weide said with a slightly tired look.

Elena wanted to ask more, but Tom interrupted her, "Don't ask, it will definitely be reported in the evening edition of the Daily Prophet... We are so hungry now that we can eat a whole bison. I really don't want to say a word."

Upon hearing this, Elena had no choice but to give up...

Because no one was seriously injured...or rather, those who were seriously injured were cured.

Therefore, the opening dinner was not cancelled.

The sorting ceremony went on as usual, but it was much simpler than in previous years.

Originally, the Sorting Hat had planned to sing a song as per its annual tradition, but in the end, it never happened...

Principal Dippet felt that the students had been greatly frightened today and it was inappropriate to sing now. It would be better to quickly complete the sorting ceremony, eat a full meal, and go back to rest.

The Sorting Hat was unhappy about this. After all, it had been preparing for today's new song for a whole year...

Dumbledore returned to the Great Hall midway through the Sorting ceremony, without Grindelwald.

Levander noticed Dumbledore's expression...probably he found nothing.

Dumbledore waved to Levid and then walked into a small room next to the hall.

Li Weide stood up and walked over quickly...

When the students saw this, the buzz of discussion rose again, almost drowning out the sound of the Sorting Hat.

The small room next to the auditorium was not big. There was nothing in it except a few chairs. The walls were bare, without even a painting.

Li Weide guessed that this might be the room where the warriors gathered during the semi-finals of the future.

Dumbledore extended his wand and lit the fireplace...

The cold room finally warmed up.

"Wade... I need you to tell me as many details as possible," Dumbledore said. "After all, among so many students, you are the only one who has fought against those people."

Li Weide sighed. If possible, he just wanted to have a good meal and then have a good sleep.

Nightmare magic consumes much more physical strength and energy than other magic... and he almost gave it his all tonight.

"This is a matter of great importance... The sooner we find a clue, the better. By the way... let's have dinner here. Let's talk while we eat."

Dumbledore said, transforming a fallen bench into a table.

As he knocked on the table, the next second, the table was filled with food...

Li Weide didn't hesitate to pick up a chicken leg and started chewing it. "Professor, that Captain Burst..."

Dumbledore sighed. "He was attacked. We found him collapsed on the ground halfway along the way. The carriage was empty... After he was rescued, he insisted that he was under the Imperius Curse and could not control his actions. Grindelwald obviously did not believe his explanation."

Li Weide nodded. The power of the Imperius Curse lies in its invisibility, making it difficult to detect afterward...

So, maybe Bulstrode could really get away with it by claiming he was under the Imperius Curse.

In the original story, after Voldemort was crippled by Harry's counter-curse of the Death Curse at the beginning, the arrested Death Eaters, such as Lucius, explained it this way... the Imperius Curse, plus a large sum of Galleons, and he was acquitted... However, Mr. Burstir clearly had a guilty conscience...

After all, Grindelwald is not someone who must obtain evidence before doing anything, even though he seems to be on the right path now.

"Professor, if I'm not mistaken, they are coming for me." Li Weide said calmly.

However, when Dumbledore heard these calm words, he instantly thought of a lot!
"Why do you think so?" asked Dumbledore.

"If they really want to attack the students, even I can't stop them completely... They have plenty of time to rush in before the mysterious witch uses protective magic!" Li Weide explained.

"So their intention wasn't to attack students," Dumbledore said. "But attacking the Hogwarts Express always has a purpose..."

"Although I may sound a bit blunt, when I think about it, the most valuable target on the entire train... is me... Moreover, when they saw me, the first thing they asked was if I was Levid. Moreover, they used non-lethal magic at the beginning... And, at the beginning, the twenty or so strongest people didn't take action, as if they were observing me... testing me..."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore understood what Levid meant. Someone had set his sights on Levid, wanted to test his abilities, and was extremely interested in what he possessed... This was not good news!

"You've certainly... attracted a lot of attention recently," Dumbledore said with a frown.

Ever since the dragon pox potion came out, Levid was destined to have no peace.

"There's no other way. I can't just watch Mr. Malfoy die... and that's on the premise that I have a way to save him." Levid said in a heavy tone.

"It's not your fault, Wade... I know you well enough to know you could save someone, yet remain indifferent. It's truly impossible," Dumbledore frowned. "Alas... this matter ultimately comes down to Horace's negligence. You clearly had already given him the potion formula... If he had thought of that, hidden your name, and kept you from others, you wouldn't have been in such a hot spot."

Li Weide fiddled with the fork in his hand calmly...

In fact, Levander asked Professor Slughorn to do this so that he could make a name for himself... otherwise, how could he squeeze funds from those pure-blood families?

As for choosing Professor Slughorn, there was a reason for that. Given Professor Slughorn's personality, how could he resist bragging about his students when they became successful?

As a professor, he feels proud only when his students are outstanding!

If Levid wanted to hide himself, he should have asked Dumbledore for help instead of Professor Slughorn...

However, having said that, these words cannot be said to Dumbledore.

After carefully considering his words, Levid said sincerely, "You can't blame Professor Slughorn for this. He was really happy for me when he got the potion formula I gave him. Although the formula was not invented by me, it can make me famous at a young age, which is very beneficial to my future development... Professor, please don't blame Professor Slughorn. He is also concerned about my future..."

Dumbledore was indeed touched by Levitra's words. "Levitra, you are too kind... No matter what time, you always speak from other people's perspective..."

"But it's true, Professor... Professor Slughorn..." Levid argued anxiously.

"Okay, okay, Wade... don't worry, I won't cause trouble for your teacher." Dumbledore said helplessly.

After a moment's silence, Dumbledore asked again, "Let's talk about the enemies you faced. I'm not surprised that you were able to defeat them. I know your strength. But... how did you capture them? I heard... they all Apparated back to their starting point together in the end?"

Obviously, Dumbledore also learned about the battle with Levid from witnesses, so he was so curious.

It is possible to defeat the enemy when fighting alone against many, but it is a bit difficult to capture all of them at the same time.

With so many of them Disapparating at the same time, if Dumbledore were there, he would only be able to catch a few at most...

Levid had an excuse for the nightmare magic a long time ago.

"This is the power of ancient magic," Levid said. "Remember how I managed to hold Grindelwald back when I fought him? I was able to cause my opponent to experience a temporary hallucination... Now I've become more and more proficient in using this power."

When in doubt, ancient magic... Anyway, Dumbledore has no talent for ancient magic, so it is impossible for him to fully understand the characteristics of ancient magic.

Sure enough, Dumbledore did not doubt it, but nodded and said, "So that's it!"

Dumbledore really didn't know much about ancient magic. He thought about how Levitra was able to use the illusion effects of ancient magic to entangle the unsuspecting Grindelwald in his first year. Now, it shouldn't be difficult for him to use some tricks on those who were far inferior to Grindelwald.

When those wizards successfully Apparated away, their vigilance must have been at its lowest, because they all thought they had successfully escaped.

Therefore, when they find themselves back on the battlefield, they will definitely not be able to react. At this time, Levid's little trick of dispersing the spell will come in handy!

"This is a remarkable ability! I hope you can use it properly." Dumbledore said sincerely.

"Hmm... but with my ability, I can only control the opponent briefly when I activate it... However, this ability can be extended, as long as the triggering conditions are met..."

Dumbledore waved his hand to interrupt Levid. "As for your secret method, just keep it to yourself. Don't tell anyone... not even me. This is your trump card, your way to save your life..."

"But I don't think you, professor, will harm me." Li Weide said as a matter of course.

"Of course I won't harm you, but... what if someone defeats me and gets this memory from my brain?" Dumbledore said seriously, "Besides, you trust others too easily... Remember what I'm going to say next, I won't tell these words to other students... From today on, don't trust anyone, I mean, anyone! Including me! Including any of your friends! What if someone pretends to be us... You are indeed strong, but I am also afraid that you will be ambushed... The knife in the back is the most terrifying!"

Li Weide frowned, looking helpless.

Dumbledore continued, "You are different from other students now... In the eyes of some, you are a walking gold mine! The probability of them coming for you is extremely high! They even dared to attack the Hogwarts Express... What else would they not dare to do? Moreover... they were able to send people to attack three places at the same time... and the enemies from each place are extremely powerful, which is enough to prove that the other party is indeed all-powerful..."

"Professor..." Li Weide whispered, "Is there really such a powerful person in this world? If there is such a person, he can't be unknown, right?"

"It is almost impossible for a single person to have such strength... so... it can only be that certain people have joined forces." Dumbledore made his final judgment.

A single pure-blood family might not seem that strong, but it would be different if multiple pure-blood families joined together... because they were really rich!
As long as they have money, they can hire a lot of people to do things for them... In many cases, the power of capital is indeed very strong.

"It's a pity that the prisoner escaped..." Li Weide said regretfully.

This time he truly felt regretful. Who could have imagined there were bad guys among the crowd? He'd been caught, yet they were still let go by their own people...

But this is no one's fault. At that time, the Hogwarts Express was attacked, and everyone was trying to understand the situation and wanted to know how many people were killed or injured.

Even Grindelwald is actively trying to understand the situation because he doesn't want to be blamed...

Who could have thought that the other party would make a move in just over ten minutes?
Therefore, there was nothing we could do about not being able to interrogate the prisoners in time...

However... if the other party is really an alliance of the richest pure-blood families, then even if there are captives, they won't be able to do anything to them!

"Then the Burst family must be one of the people who joined forces?" Li Weide asked.

"No... I don't think anyone among them would be willing to take the blame." Dumbledore said bluntly.

Can you expect this group of daring desperadoes to selflessly stand up and take the blame and protect their other accomplices?

Any fool knows that anyone who lets a prisoner go will be strictly scrutinized... Therefore, the probability that Bulstrode was under the Imperius Curse is very high.

Li Weide pondered and said, "That is to say... when you came to rescue, there was an enemy among the people you brought, and he secretly cast the Imperius Curse on Bulstrode."

"This is very likely. It's not surprising that there are people from their team in the Ministry of Magic. So... I hope you don't trust anyone," said Dumbledore.

Li Weide said hesitantly: "Right now... the people who are most interested in me... are only those pure-blood families. So..."

"It must be them. I just don't know which ones... When you wanted the Malfoy family to assist you, many people must have felt uncomfortable... Those who abide by the rules will naturally come to the Malfoy family and discuss cooperation with you. But... for some people, this feeling of being forced to cooperate is like an insult... So, instead of groveling and begging for cooperation and then only getting a small portion of the benefits, it is better to grab it quickly... that way they will get more."

"Uh... this approach is indeed very pure-blooded..." Li Weide couldn't help but scratch his head. "But fortunately, there aren't that many wealthy pure-blood families, so we can just use the process of elimination..."

"...How do you know that the only ones targeting you are the pure-blood families of Britain?" Dumbledore said seriously, "Your recipe for the Dragon Pox potion... is like spilling a drop of blood in a shark-infested ocean. Some people always have a keen sense of profit."

"Hiss..." Li Weide took a breath, "I only released a potion formula... How did they know that I had other valuable things?"

Dumbledore said seriously, "They don't need to know, they just want to try their luck... If you only have that recipe, then take it and share it among everyone. This will make up for the loss of manpower and effort, but what if... you have something else... then they will make a profit!"

Li Weide was a little confused. Isn't this just trying to get something for nothing?

"...That's why they took a tentative approach at first...After seeing my considerable abilities, they became even more certain that I had a remarkable background!"

Dumbledore said, "We will protect you, and you must be careful too. That safe house... you will need to stay in it during your vacation."

Dumbledore had not expected that the safe house, which was originally built to guard against Grindelwald, would now come in handy in this situation.

……

Dumbledore and Levid talked for a long time.

By the time Li Weide came out of the small room, the opening dinner had ended early.

The auditorium was empty, lit only by the bright light cast by thousands of candles suspended from the ceiling.

Levitra strolled through the cold corridor, heading towards the Slytherin common room.

At this point, the uneasy expression he had when facing Dumbledore had completely faded.

Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth...

During his conversation with Dumbledore, he learned a lot...

In fact, he had already guessed that some pure-blood families might break the rules and unite to deal with him when he announced the formula for the dragon pox potion.

When many people use all means to do something, the water will be muddied, and he wants to take advantage of the muddied water to do something.

However, he didn't expect that these guys would act so quickly and come up with such a crazy plan.

They actually dared to attack the Hogwarts Express directly... If nothing unexpected happened, there might be children in their family on the train!

Of course, this is not a big deal for a desperado who puts profit above all else. Family interests are above everything else!
Combining all the information he learned today, Li Weide gradually had a clear outline of what happened today...

The attack on the Hogwarts Express was intended to confuse the public... By attacking a group of people, others wouldn't know who they were after...

If Levitra hadn't been able to fight them off, and had been just like an ordinary third-year student, then this group would have definitely taken some students away after the attack, and then openly demanded ransom from the Ministry of Magic. Of course, Levitra would have been one of them.

In this way, almost no one would know that their real purpose was the secret of Li Weide.

By the time the Ministry of Magic got the reward and redeemed Levitra and the others, the secrets in Levitra's mind had already been emptied out by them without them noticing...

This is not difficult, it can be done with Veritaserum, Imperius Curse, Legilimency and other means.

When it's time to release him, cast a forgetfulness spell on Levid to make him forget some of his memories. If you don't check it specifically, it will hardly be discovered.

Even if he is discovered, there is no need to be afraid, because no one will know what memory Li Weide has lost!
In this way, the valuable things in Li Weide's mind will become theirs unknowingly, but Li Weide himself will forget what he once had because of the loss of his memory!

Of course, you can also just kill Li Weide directly...

It is very normal to be kidnapped by kidnappers and die at their hands.

The plan was very good, but unfortunately Li Weide's fighting ability was beyond everyone's expectations... So many people not only failed to capture him, but were captured by him instead.

"Oh, this is really interesting. Who came up with this idea? This just muddies the waters even further... If I don't use this opportunity to do something big, I'd be letting them down for the chance they created for me!"

Li Weide suddenly felt himself becoming a little excited.

"Tsk... What's so exciting about this kind of shit? I'm not some villain..."

……

Slytherin common room.

There was also a small group of people gathered in front of the fireplace and did not go to the dormitory to rest.

After noticing that the stone door opened and Li Weide walked in, the group immediately surrounded him.

It turned out to be Tom and Annie...

Li Weide was surprised to find that Elena was there too.

"Huh? You were sorted into Slytherin?" Levid was a little surprised.

He thought such a cocky little girl would be sorted into Gryffindor.

Elena shrugged. "The hat said I could go to both Slytherin and Gryffindor, and then asked me where I was going... I know you're in Slytherin, so..."

"Oh..." Everyone looked at Elena thoughtfully.

Anne squinted her eyes, bit her lip, and stared at Elena...

"Don't get me wrong, I... I just don't have any acquaintances in other colleges." Elena explained quickly.

Tom obviously had no interest in this matter, because as soon as he opened his mouth, he brought the subject back to the main topic.

"Did Dumbledore find out who the murderer was?"

"No... all in vain. Poor Mr. Bulstrode is evidently under the Imperius Curse..."

"Is it true?" Tom didn't believe it.

"Otherwise, would those guys be so selfless?"

"That's right..." Tom nodded. No one knew pure-blood families better than him!

The ugly behavior of the Gaunt family had long made him realize the ugly behavior of those corrupt pure-blood families...

Next, Levander gave them a general summary of the conversation with Dumbledore.

And he emphasized that there might be someone coveting his secret...

After listening to Li Weide's story, everyone looked at Li Weide with eyes full of worry.

Anne said, "I think... Professor Dumbledore is right. You can't trust anyone! So, don't tell us about your secrets. It would be bad if one of us gets caught and has our memories searched by Legilimency..."

Anne's words were unanimously agreed by everyone.

After a while, everyone said good night to Li Weide and went back to their dormitories to rest.

They were already very sleepy, and they were staying here to wait for Li Weide just because they were worried about him.

On the way back to the dormitory, Tom walked silently to Li Weide's side.

"How funny... they're actually worried about your safety..."

"Is this funny?" Li Weide asked.

Tom said slowly, "Rather than worrying about the safety of a man who can easily defeat hundreds of dark wizards... I still think it's better to worry about my own safety... Because now it seems that being your friend is more dangerous than yourself."

"Oh...Tom, you are becoming more and more boring now."

"Is it because I've become smarter that you can't fool me anymore?" Tom sneered.

"Hehe...but you still consider yourself my friend, don't you?"

"Don't be so self-indulgent! I will defeat you sooner or later!" Tom was angry and embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it..." Li Weide said with a smile.

"Tsk!" Tom strode past Lewes angrily and went back to the dormitory.

　A 10,000-word chapter, so only one chapter today...
