Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 423 Tom: My dream? Does being a salted fish count?
When Li Weide heard that the names of Tom Cat and the other two appeared in the admission book, his eyes flickered.

Because through this news, he confirmed a possibility...

"Then... Professor, can they really come to Hogwarts to study?" Levid asked tentatively.

"Why not?" Dumbledore said happily, "I've talked to that kitten. Since they can understand human language and even write, even if they can't speak yet, they are no different from real human wizards."

Li Weide said tentatively, "Really? But, this matter... don't you want to discuss it with Principal Dippet?"

Dumbledore sighed, his head aching at the thought.

"If Armando is willing to take more charge, I would actually be happy to discuss these issues with him..."

It really is... Principal Dippet seems to be increasingly fond of taking matters into his own hands...

"It seems that you will soon become the headmaster of Hogwarts. Otherwise, Headmaster Dippet would not have gradually handed over the affairs to you." Li Weide said.

Dumbledore was hesitant to speak after hearing this.

In fact, except that he does not have the position of headmaster, what Dumbledore does now is no different from that of a headmaster.

He decided that if he became a principal in the future, he would do the same when he was old...

If you can hone your successor's abilities and allow yourself to be lazy, why not do it?
"By the way, Tom Cat and the others...how did you do it?" Dumbledore asked.

Levander had already prepared an explanation for Dumbledore's questions.

After all, three animals that can use magic...even if their names are not written in the admission book, they will definitely attract other people's attention.

"This is an unexpected result. I've been researching a potion that can cure Squibs recently. I just made a small bottle of the experimental product when the greedy Tom cat drank it as a drink. Then... his magic went riot and he turned into a cat wizard... So, I tried it on Jerry and Spike too..."

This explanation makes sense, as no one can be sure of the effects of the experimental potion.

And the original intention of treating the Squibs was good, Dumbledore shouldn't be suspicious...

Sure enough, Dumbledore looked at Levid with relief, "If you can develop this potion... many families will be able to suffer less! This is a great thing!"

Li Weide said, "I also think this is a good thing... I have seen some Squib children who were unable to be admitted to Hogwarts at King's Cross Station several times. The look in their eyes when they said goodbye to their brothers and sisters deeply hurt me. So... I think that since I have such ability, I should do something about it."

Levid's answer was still perfect and directly hit Dumbledore's soft heart.

Dumbledore looked at Wade with joy. "That's what you said before...with great power comes great responsibility! Many people can talk a lot of great things, but few can actually put them into practice. Wade, you really did it! Don't worry about your research, and if you need any help, just ask me! I also know quite a few Potions Masters!"

……

After a wave of favorable impressions, Levid walked out of Dumbledore's office with Dumbledore's trust and expectations.

The vaccination has been done...

If I "accidentally" make some potions with unexpected effects in the future... that would make sense, right?

The week after the final exams ended quickly and the students' grades came out.

The professors were very happy because they found that the grades of Hogwarts students had been getting better and better in recent years.

Even the previously lazy little badgers have achieved good results.

With the end of the semester dinner, another batch of graduates left school...

Tom stood by and watched Li Weide chatting and laughing with the graduates who graduated this year.

Most of these graduates are members of mutual aid societies.

In Tom's opinion, among these people, apart from the pure-bloods who had no trouble finding jobs, most of those students from ordinary Muggle or mixed-blood families would eventually return to Levid's hands after suffering a certain degree of social abuse...

He knew very well that through his connections with the Malfoy family and the Shafik family, Levitra also partnered with more pure-blood families to open many companies, and these companies were involved in various industries.

Because of this, these companies provide a large number of jobs for these graduates.

And... the best graduates will choose to join the Ministry of Magic...

Grindelwald's reforms to the Ministry of Magic provided these graduates with suitable promotion channels, so that the Ministry of Magic would no longer be dominated by members of pure-blood families.

At that time, it would be natural for Levid to extend his hand to the Ministry of Magic.

Grindelwald will therefore not be able to completely infiltrate the Ministry of Magic, and neither will the pure-blood families, because there will be a new emerging force in the Ministry of Magic.

Only then did Tom understand why Levid promoted Grindelwald's reform of the Ministry of Magic...

As time goes by, as more and more members of the mutual aid society graduate, Li Weide will have more and more people under him, and his influence and connections will grow unknowingly...

Of course, Tom knew that Lewes had a big heart and that Hogwarts graduates alone could not satisfy his appetite.

Then the next step, when Andre returns, Li Weide will reach out to Britain...

Seeing those graduates leaving with tears in their eyes under Li Weide's encouragement, Tom knew that Li Weide had won over a new wave of people...

"Let's go, go back and rest early, we should go back tomorrow." Li Weide walked over and said.

"Okay." Tom, who witnessed Li Weide's performance throughout, said lightly.

The dinner was over and summer vacation was about to begin the next day.

Except for the graduates who were still immersed in the sadness of graduation, other students were full of excitement.

No student is unhappy the day before the holiday.

Li Weide and Tom walked silently behind the excited crowd.

"Tom, do you have a dream?" Li Weide suddenly asked.

"Dream?" Tom frowned. "What's that?"

"Dream is...what you want to do most in the future...or in other words, what is the goal you want to achieve most." Li Weide said.

Tom thought about it carefully, then shook his head.

In the past, he might have had some goals he wanted to achieve, but now...

After hanging out with Li Weide, I feel like there is nothing in particular I want to do.

Li Weide laughed and said, "Tom, how can a person not have dreams? If a person has no dreams, what's the difference between him and a salted fish?"

“My dream used to be to finally defeat you, but now it seems…” Tom shook his head again, “Being a couch potato isn’t so bad.” Ever since witnessing the battle between Li Wade and Grindelwald, Tom’s dream has been completely shattered.

He always thought that as long as he kept improving, he would be able to defeat Li Weide in the future!
But... he overlooked one point, that is, if he could improve, then Li Weide would naturally improve too! And the speed of his progress would definitely not be slower than his!
When Li Weide was distracted by studying other things, he was still able to maintain that speed of progress...

How can I defeat this pervert?
"Even fire dragons doze off sometimes. You will definitely find an opportunity in the future, right?" Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom sneered, "I want to defeat you fairly. If it's a sneak attack... even if I kill you, I won't be happy. I'd rather be nothing."

Li Weide said with emotion: "A few years ago, you would never say that."

Tom was slightly stunned. It seemed that... what Li Weide said did make sense.

In the past, he wanted to kill Li Weide, no matter what means necessary.

Later, for some reason, his goal became to defeat Li Weide.

And now... he has even lost the courage to challenge Li Weide.

"I don't know..." Tom said, "I don't have the ability to predict the future. Who can tell?"

"Yes... who can tell what the future holds? Perhaps, you and I will become wanted criminals, or perhaps you will become Professor Riddle, and then become Headmaster Riddle decades later, or perhaps, you will join me in establishing a career..."

Tom suddenly said, "Grindelwald can predict things... but I don't know what we will be like in those prophetic images he saw..."

"The future is not set in stone. I believe that if he were to catch that flash of inspiration and predict the future again, he would see something different."

"That's not necessarily true... It's possible that the image they see is the same, but the meaning is completely different. If he sees you standing on a podium... who would know if you're giving a speech or being tried?"

Li Weide lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded. "That makes sense... The road I'm going to take is full of thorns. I can only say that I will do my best and leave the rest to fate."

"Are you actually worried that you will fail?" Tom looked at Li Weide in surprise.

"No matter how careful the plan is or how thorough the preparation is, there may be mistakes. No one dares to say that he can succeed 100%... The future is really unpredictable. Maybe... my friends now will all become my enemies in the end?" Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom frowned and looked at Li Weide. "Could it be that... there will be many people who oppose what you are going to do in the end?"

"I'm not sure about that. The more complicated the plan is, the greater the chance of accidents happening, and the more uncontrollable the results will be. As I said, I can only try my best to complete the plan. I don't even dare to think about what the final result will be." Li Weide said with emotion.

Tom looked at Li Weide in confusion, not understanding why he suddenly expressed such emotion tonight.

"I won't be your enemy anyway, Wade," Tom said calmly.

"Oh? I didn't expect you to be so loyal to me..." Li Weide seemed very happy.

"Loyalty?" Tom smiled. "I don't want to be your enemy, just because I don't want to die young."

The more people understand Li Weide's abilities, the more unwilling they are to become enemies with such a perverted guy!

Tom believed that he was not the only one who had such thoughts.

"Tom, I really still like the way you speak the truth..."

"You said before, when you meet someone you can't defeat for the time being, you should try to be sincere. Because you can't hide it anyway."

……

Early the next morning, students boarded the Hogwarts Express and left Hogwarts.

The train arrived at King's Cross Station around noon.

As soon as Levid got off the Hogwarts Express, he saw Miravia and Nagini.

"Are you here to pick me up?" Li Weide asked happily.

Miravia nodded. "Yes, Nagini said that everyone else has someone to pick you up, so she doesn't want you to be left alone. Since we live in your house, we are your family. If we don't come to pick you up, who will?"

Nagini asked hesitantly, "Teacher, it wasn't you who suggested it... Yes, it was me who suggested it."

After receiving a sharp glare from Miravia, Nagini immediately changed her words.

"I didn't expect you would come pick me up. I'm very happy." Li Weide didn't expose Miravia, but smiled and said, "This is the first time someone has picked me up."

In the past, there were people who sent Li Weide to school, but this was the first time someone came to the station to pick him up...

Tom picked up his suitcase, said hello to Miravia and the others, and then said to Li Weide, "I'm going back first. My father sent a car to pick me up."

Unlike before, Li Wei De now has his own home, so naturally there is no need to go back to Riddle Manor with him.

After leaving King's Cross Station, Li Weide and the others watched Tom get into a brand new car and leave.

Although the Riddle family's business was affected by the war, it was still thriving, and even their means of transportation were changed from horse-drawn carriages to cars.

"Tsk...damn rich second generation." Li Weide said with emotion, "Now this guy doesn't even need to take a carriage to go home..."

Miravia looked at the car curiously. "Muggles don't have magic, but they always manage to create 'magical' things like this."

"Muggles can actually do magic, but their magic is called 'technology'." Levid smiled, "Do you want one? I can send one to you."

Miravia looked at Li Weide with disdain, "You just called them a hateful rich second generation, but didn't you say you could buy it?"

"That's different. Tom is a hateful rich second generation, but I am an excellent rich first generation! This is much better than a rich second generation." Li Weide said proudly.

Miravia ignored Livid's boasting. For a wizard like her, money actually meant nothing.

Gringotts was run by goblins, and in Miravia's eyes, the goblins' money was her money...

Moreover, she was indeed capable. Even if she robbed Gringotts in front of the goblins, the goblins would not know anything.

Miravia looked at the car and licked her lips. "How much is a car like that worth in gold galleons?"

"You can't buy it with gold Galleons. You have to use Muggle money..." Levid laughed, "But coincidentally, besides having a lot of gold Galleons, I also have a lot of Muggle money."

Looking at Tom's family's car, Li Weide was also a little excited.

He thought of Mr. Weasley, who was good at transforming Muggle items in the future...

A flying car is always much more comfortable than a broom or a flying carpet.

And... Levid "happened" to hear that Mr. Nicolas Flamel was also interested in Muggle products...
