Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 365 The Vanished Friends...

"Me? I'm Herora Paris. Do you want to come over and talk to me?"

Helora still did not directly answer Li Weide's question.

"it is good."

Li Weide agreed without hesitation. His strong curiosity did not allow him to refuse.

The castle manager's office is on the first floor.

Unlike Filch's messy office in later generations, although Helora was a new administrator, her office was very clean and tidy.

What surprised Li Wei De was that there was a small door in Helora's office that was not closed. Through this small door, Li Wei De discovered a small kitchen...

"Are you cooking in the office?" Li Weide couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, it's not that I don't like the food cooked by the elves, I just prefer to cook it myself. Studying food is also a wonderful thing."

Helora asked Li Wei to sit on the small sofa next to her, and then brought him a pot of drink.

"This is a drink I made myself. I used seven different kinds of fruits, added some honey, and added some magic to make it taste better..."

The amber drink poured from the pot and fell into the glass looked like real amber and was very beautiful.

Li Weide looked at the colorful drink in front of him and picked it up.

He brought the cup to his nose and smelled it. A fragrance that Li Weide had never smelled before rushed into his nose, which made him feel refreshed.

Li Weide seemed to hesitate for a moment while holding the cup, but finally took a sip.

This unique drink has a smooth texture and a fragrant fruity aroma...

Li Weide could swear that he had never tasted such a delicious drink in his past or present life...

"Actually, there are several useful spells for testing whether food is cursed or poisonous... I can teach you." Herora smiled.

Li Weide was slightly stunned when he heard this. It turned out that his little action of secretly checking the drinks just now did not escape Helora's eyes?

"Sorry, these are just some of my little habits..." Li Weide said casually.

"This is a good habit. You should keep it in the future." Helora didn't seem to mind Li Weide checking her drink at all.

"Ahem... This is indeed the best drink I have ever had, Ms. Paris." Li Weide said after two dry coughs.

This was indeed true; he had never tasted a drink that tasted so good.

"I'm glad you like it!" Helora seemed very happy. "If you like it, I can give you the recipe later."

"Oh? Is it really possible?"

"Of course, for someone who enjoys studying food, there's nothing more satisfying than seeing other people enjoy the food you cook."

Li Weide put down the cup, "About the question just now..."

He hasn't forgotten his business yet.

"You want to ask me why I know her?" Helora put down the drink pot and sat opposite Li Weide.

"Yes." Li Weide nodded.

"We used to be friends." Heroura waved her wand, and plates of snacks floated out from the small kitchen...

"Friend?" Li Weide looked at Helora with some confusion.

There was no such character in the games he had played.

However, the plot of the game only describes what happened in the year when the senior student just became a transfer student, and no one knows what happened after that.

Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that he became newly acquainted with this Ms. Paris after graduation.

"Yes, my friend... She is a very capable person. She has helped many people both in school and after graduation. Therefore, not many people can have so many friends like her..." said Helora.

"So you just said... that you buried her with your own hands..." Li Weide said hesitantly.

"Yes... I and her other friends personally put her into that narrow crystal coffin... I made all her clothes for her..." Helora sighed.

"Then how do you know that I have a relationship with her? What you just said to me proves that you know that I have a relationship with her." Li Weide asked calmly.

"You have 'residues' on you, right? And they weren't extracted by you, but from her body. I can recognize them. Omnis and I toiled for days to create that cloak..." Helora said, "This means you've met her... and must have stayed near her body. No one else could have entered that place without her invitation. So, she must have known you, and you must have learned about her past from her..."

"Okay, since that's the case... then I have a question." Li Weide suddenly said.

"what is the problem?"

"She told me that not long after she was trapped, her close friends suddenly disappeared one after another and never came to see her again... Where did you all go?"

"Shortly after she was buried, we visited her every year, but in the fifth year, she fell into a deep sleep... For the next few years, she didn't wake up. Her breath gradually weakened... And so, many years passed, and many things happened. Her friends all met different fates." "Sebastian was busy trying to lift the curse on his sister, and for that he frequently ventured into various dangerous ruins. Slowly, he disappeared without a trace."

"Omines was in poor health, and she expended too much of her life force in crafting the cloak that covered the remnants... So, she died shortly after being buried..."

"There are other friends who are also scattered all over the place. Some have gone to other countries for life, while some have passed away..."

Li Wei De grasped the key point from Helora's words, that is, the senior sister had been asleep for a long time.

During this time, many things happened to her friends, so it was many years later when she woke up and was able to use nightmare magic to make her consciousness wander around.

Most of her friends are no longer around, which may have given her a great sense of disconnection, making her think that her friends disappeared suddenly.

If Li Weide guessed correctly, even the senior sister herself didn't notice how long she had slept.

Long-term loneliness has made her neglect time...

Or perhaps she deliberately didn't check the time.

The ever-evolving passage of time would terrify her... because it would make her realize how much of her life she had wasted!

Li Weide finally understood how much the senior wanted to leave that prison...

Li Wei De looked at He Luo La, and he also noticed that He Luo La had never mentioned the name of the senior sister...

He knew very well that unless he took the initiative to mention it, everyone who knew the senior sister would subconsciously omit her name.

"Why did you suddenly come to me today? Also, why do you want to be an administrator at Hogwarts?" Levid asked.

"I'm looking for you because you're like her, and... you've had contact with her. So I want to learn a little about her from you. As for why I want to be a caretaker at Hogwarts... it's because I like it here, I always have. I've been traveling around the world, and now, as an old man, I'm returning to my roots... I just hope to spend the last part of my life at Hogwarts."

There was nothing wrong with Helora's answer, but Levid always felt that she was not telling the truth.

"Can I tell you about her situation now?" asked Helora.

"of course can."

"Is she... okay now?" Helora hesitated for a moment before asking such a general question.

"Oh no, she's going crazy thinking about freedom every day." Li Weide said.

"It was only when I saw you recently that I realized you had her magic... and it wasn't until now that I knew she had awakened. I should have gone to see her earlier." Helora felt a little regretful.

Li Wei De felt a little emotional. If Helola was not lying, then she had not been to her senior's hiding place for a long time.

Time is indeed a poison... No matter how sincere the friendship was in the past, it will gradually fade under the wear and tear of time.

"She doesn't have much time left," Li Weide said suddenly. "At most, she'll have another year before the remnants of her body can no longer be suppressed."

In fact, with Li Weide's help, the senior sister was no longer in a situation where she could not hold on, but Li Weide still said so.

Helora looked at Li Weide in surprise, and then a trace of sadness and vicissitudes flashed in her eyes, "Is that so... Another friend is leaving."

"But I have a way to save her and let her out." When Li Weide said this, he stared at Helora closely, not missing any of her micro-expressions!
Occlumency might prevent others from looking into your mind, but it couldn't control your subconscious reactions.

Li Wei De now wants to know whether Helora is really the senior's friend... or is she the senior's enemy?
Helora looked at Li Weide in surprise, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true. I'm fully prepared now and can release her at any time." Li Weide withdrew his gaze.

Judging from the changes in Heroula's expression, she seems to be a friend of the senior...

But for the specific details, I still have to ask the senior in person.

"What's the method? Is it dangerous?" asked Helora.

"I can't tell you the specific method for now." Li Weide said calmly.

Helora immediately understood Li Weide's concerns, "It seems that your relationship with her is extraordinary."

"She helped me a lot. Strictly speaking, I owe her that. So no matter how dangerous it is, I have to repay her," Li Weide said calmly.

If the senior student were here, she would probably complain about Li Weide saying one thing to one person and another to another.

But it really works, and Herora looked at Livid with admiration in her eyes.

"Okay, try the snacks I made..."

While Li Weide was tasting the snacks, he was already thinking in his mind.

If the senior student had not turned against me, then this Ms. Paris might have been able to help me.

But if the senior turns against me... then the precautions will have to be changed.

No one knows who Ms. Paris will help at that time.
