Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 358 Have you ever thought about your weight in Tom’s heart?
In the bare stone chamber.

There is a crystal clear crystal coffin.

Li Weide was standing next to the crystal coffin, quietly looking at the senior sister who was like a sleeping beauty in the coffin...

"Weid, as a gentleman, it is very impolite to stare at a woman like this."

Li Weide turned around and saw the senior sister's soul passing through the wall of the stone chamber...

"Did you do this?" Li Weide asked straight to the point.

The senior student was not surprised at all that Li Weide would ask such a question.

"You're the second person to ask me that question today."

Li Weide understood that the first person to ask the senior this question must be Dumbledore.

"Then you should already understand this matter..."

"Yes. But I only found out about it today... Don't be surprised. Although my consciousness often wanders around, you only cast a spell on Hogwarts a month ago, so I didn't pay much attention to it... until Dumbledore came to me today."

"What do you think?" Li Weide asked.

The senior student looked at Li Weide with a playful look on her face, "You said I didn't do this, and you just believed it?"

Li Weide nodded, "Yes, I believe it."

"Haha... It's really interesting to see you lying seriously... In fact, you have never trusted anyone, right?" The senior student looked at Li Weide with a smile.

Li Weide said calmly: "You really didn't lie just now."

The senior student said, "Yeah... You don't believe me. You just reasoned through various factors and concluded that I wasn't lying. That's why you said you believed me... I have to say, you're the most confident person I've ever met."

"Why do we have to reveal the truth..." Li Weide sighed.

"The reason why I'm telling you this is because this matter has a lot to do with your characteristic." The senior student said slowly.

Li Weide looked at the senior in surprise, "So, it seems that you already know why the nightmare magic riot occurred?"

"It's almost there..." The senior sister stretched out her fair and slender hand and waved it gently, and the parchment in Li Weide's pocket floated out.

The parchment floated in front of the senior and unfolded automatically...

After briefly browsing Li Weide's analysis, she nodded slowly and said, "Your analysis is very reasonable, so reasonable that there are almost no mistakes or omissions. It's like a battle puppet with a set magical program. It is rigorous, but also a bit rigid..."

"I know my reasoning is incomplete," Li Weide said. "But perhaps you can help me fill in the gaps I missed... and then I can save Tom."

"Well... Dumbledore also asked me today how to rescue Tom. So, I gave him an idea... Use brain occlumency to protect your real memory, and then approach Tom." said the senior student.

"This is indeed a good idea. The characteristics of Occlumency seem to be just right for this curse... and Professor Dumbledore's Occlumency should be pretty good as well... With a little effort, Professor Dumbledore might really be able to save Tom!" Livid's eyes lit up.

The senior student smiled and said, "He couldn't save Tom. When Tom approached him, his Occlumency subconsciously resisted, but his memory and cognition still changed... Strictly speaking, even the reason why he allowed his Occlumency to work was changed."

"So, you have been watching from the side the whole time? That is to say... Professor Dumbledore's approach to Tom as you did was just an experiment arranged by you?" Levid thought thoughtfully.

"How can you know the specific situation without doing the experiment? Facts have proved that this experiment is worthwhile, because it really allows me to see some of the essence of this magical accident." The senior sister's gaze fell on Li Weide again.

Li Weide said: "You look at me like this, does it prove that this is still related to me? I know this is related to me, after all, it was me who cast the nightmare magic..."

The senior student interrupted him, "No... It has nothing to do with who cast the spell. It has to do with something you have been ignoring."

"what?"

"emotion."

"Emotions?" Li Weide looked at the senior student in confusion.

"Emotions can amplify magic... You should be very clear about this." said the senior.

"Of course... the residue in your body, after all, is a substance produced by negative emotions. This substance can amplify magic... and negative emotions are just one of many emotions..." Livid paused, then continued, "You said I ignored emotions. I can't defend myself, but what does this have to do with this magical accident?"

"I just told you that you never trust anyone," said the senior.

Li Weide looked calmly at his senior, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her point of view. The senior didn't wait for his response, but continued, "Because you never trust anyone, you can't possibly have any true friends."

"I have friends." Li Weide defended himself.

"No...you didn't. The people who gathered around you...including Tom, are just people who help you, nothing more."

"What you said is too harsh..." Li Weide said helplessly.

"How can a person who never trusts others have real friends? Even if he does, they are just pretend friends." The senior student mercilessly tore off the fig leaf that Li Weide had barely pulled up.

"You're a smart person, and you know the right words to say to the right people. So in the eyes of your companions, you're a good friend. In the eyes of the professor, you're a good student. Even in my eyes... you're a trustworthy kid. And what about you? Do you consider us friends? Or... just tools to help you achieve your goals?"

Li Weide took a deep breath and said, "I find it hard to agree with what you said... Besides, you're going a bit far..."

The senior student smiled and said, "Okay, let's talk about Tom again... Based on the reasons I mentioned above, you may just think that Tom is a tool for you. But what about Tom? Have you ever thought about your own importance in Tom's heart?"

"Indeed... on the surface, you did suppress him in every way, making it impossible for him to resist. It seemed as if he had a grudge against you. But... think about all the things you've done for him."

"...You got him out of the orphanage with its harsh conditions, constantly urged him to improve, resolved the rift between him and his father, and then, in the most critical moment, you swooped down from the sky to save his family. You then helped his family's business, taught him the new spells you invented, and gave him a share of any new equipment..."

"Wade, tell me, if it were you, would you consider such a person your enemy? Moreover, if someone really has a grudge against you, would he wholeheartedly help you with things?"

"Weider...you underestimate your position in Tom's heart!"

"So... out of all the people at Hogwarts who were bewitched, he was the only one who noticed something was wrong..."

"Deep emotions caused the nightmare magic wrapped around him to change despite his strenuous resistance... This is the essence of this magical accident."

"The magic analysis you just showed me...it was filled with hundreds of words, but not a single one mentioned emotion. That's why I said you overlooked this crucial point."

After hearing what the senior said, Li Weide couldn't help but take a breath.

He tried to put himself in her shoes and finally had to admit that what the senior said made sense.

If I were Tom, I would definitely regard this person who helped me so much as my best friend...

If I had a friend like this, even if we were just playing around a lot, once something went wrong, I would definitely do my best to find out the truth...

The senior student looked at Li Weide's changing expression and couldn't help but say, "Weide, I don't know what exactly you've been through that makes you always subconsciously put on a mask and try hard to act in front of everyone... But in fact, deep down in your heart, you are not completely emotionless towards people like us. You just habitually ignore these emotions that may delay your acting. That's why I said just now that you ignore emotions, not that you have no emotions."

Li Weide remained silent. He really didn't know what to say.

"On the night you left, you actually discovered that I was eavesdropping, right?" the senior student suddenly asked again.

Li Weide: ...

"That's why you told Dumbledore so confidently that you trusted me." The senior student sighed, "Wade, aren't you tired of living like this? However, it's normal for you to be wary of me. After all, my origins are indeed unknown... But there's no need to be wary of Tom."

The senior student thought it was normal that Li Weide should not be wary of Tom.

After all, he didn't know that Tom's original future would be to become the evil dark devil Voldemort.

But...is the current Tom still the same Tom?
A Tom who can cast the Patronus Charm... no matter what, he can't become Voldemort again...

At this moment, Li Weide felt as if something heavy had been lifted from his heart...

"Then...then how should I save Tom?"

"You already know the answer, why are you still asking me?" The senior rolled her eyes. "Hurry up and get this done, then come back and let me out! I've been holding this in for so many years, it's driving me crazy! I've almost forgotten what it feels like to eat!"

Li Weide hesitated to speak.

"What else do you want to say?"

"I want to say... I can burn some incense for you..."

"roll!"
