Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 67 Tom: Does he really consider me a friend?

The auditorium, which was originally filled with whispers, now became completely silent.

Both the professor and the students who were whispering to each other were looking at Tom in astonishment.

Tom's face turned pale as he was being stared at by so many people.

He knew what Azkaban was after having been in contact with the wizarding world for some time.

That's clearly a wizard prison!
Why on earth did the Sorting Hat put him in prison?!
The Sorting Hat sorts people into different houses. It seems that people will go wherever it says. So, would it really throw itself into Azkaban?
At this moment, Tom wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into...

"Hmm?" After the Sorting Hat said Azkaban, it was also very confused. It didn't understand why it made a slip of the tongue.

This has never happened since Hogwarts was founded!
Dumbledore also looked at the Sorting Hat in confusion. He was about to pick it up to check.

The Sorting Hat spoke again.

"Haha, I was just joking with him. How could it be Azkaban? It should be... Slytherin!"

After hearing what the Sorting Hat said, the silent auditorium was finally filled with discussions again.

To be honest, they had never heard of the Sorting Hat playing such a joke on freshmen.

Of course, no one took the Sorting Hat's words seriously. They just thought that the old hat might have malfunctioned.

After all, it is almost as old as Hogwarts.

However, Tom has become famous right after entering school...

Tom took off the Sorting Hat and fled away from the hateful old hat.

At this time, Levitra, who had already sat down at the Slytherin table, stood up and said to Tom with a smile: "Welcome, my dear friend, the prince from Azkaban..."

His words caused laughter at the long table.

"Shut up!" Tom was going crazy.

Livid smiled and pushed Tom to the seat next to him. "Don't be angry, Tom. It's just a little joke. Can I really assign you to Azkaban?"

"This embarrasses me greatly! Wade..." Tom clenched his fists and said angrily.

Li Weide said meaningfully: "It's better to be embarrassed than to be beaten, isn't it, Tom?"

Tom was startled awake by these words.

Tom, who had been overwhelmed by embarrassment and anger, finally came to his senses...

This must be Li Weide’s revenge!

Li Weide put on the Sorting Hat before him.

In other words, he must have done something to that lousy hat at that time! He made that lousy hat embarrass him!

Then use this as revenge for his little behavior on the train!

Tom knew that Li Weide would definitely take revenge, and he had already done a lot of psychological preparation for this.

He even fantasized that he might be able to guard against Li Weide's revenge.

But I didn't expect that he would do this...

No matter how strong Tom is, he can't bear it anymore!

This bastard is so cruel!

But after Tom's anger, he was terrified and frustrated.

Because even though he knew that it was Li Weide who did it, he had no idea how Li Weide did it!

On the train, the same thing happened. Those who were instigated by me to cause trouble for Li Weide started fighting each other as soon as they met Li Weide...

Moreover, judging from their subsequent behavior, it was clear that they were hallucinating.

They all thought that the person they beat up was Li Weide. But in fact, they beat up their own people...

Based on these clues, Tom guessed that Li Weide seemed to have mastered a kind of magic that could confuse others, even magical objects!

Thinking of this, Tom's heart was once again filled with a sense of powerlessness.

He studied so hard and tried so hard to become stronger.

But in the end, he found that the gap between himself and Li Weide seemed to be getting bigger and bigger!

Could it be that... my idea that I can catch up with Li Weide sooner or later is really just an illusion?
"Tom, there's no point in thinking too much. It's better to focus on what you're going to eat later." Li Weide looked at the British "delicacies" on the table with interest.

"How... did you do it?" Tom couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Li Weide smiled and said, "Tom, you know me. When you knew me, I liked to experiment with all kinds of magic. So, it's not surprising that I can come up with one or two magics that you haven't seen before, right?"

Tom was speechless.

While he was still working hard to learn various magics in the hope of becoming stronger quickly, Levid had already developed new magic.

And he also witnessed the power of Levitra's new magic...

Faced with such a monster, I still have the delusion that I can catch up with it?

Tom couldn't help but laugh bitterly at himself. At this moment, Tom's previous spirit had been completely wiped out by Li Weide.

"Tom, you seem a little depressed?" Li Weide suddenly said, "Are you planning to give up?"

"What else can I do if I don't give up? I...I have no other choice..."

"That's not something you would say, Tom." Li Weide said with a bored look on his face. "The Tom I know is not the kind of person who gives up when faced with difficulties. He will only endure first, and then at the right time, bite the enemy's throat like a venomous snake and kill him with one blow!"

Tom looked at Li Weide in astonishment.

He didn't understand why Li Weide told him all this. He had already planned to give up and would never dare to challenge his authority again...

Isn't Li Weide trying to boost his fighting spirit by saying this?
Li Weide continued, "Tom, I know your abilities... I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of surprises you can bring me in the future."

Tom couldn't help but feel angry when he heard this.

Does Li Weide feel that he has no ability to threaten him at all, so he just treats himself as a joke?
Do you think you are a clown who overestimates your own abilities?
Li Weide, who possessed great strength, stood on a high mountain, and from the top of the mountain he watched himself shouting at him like a clown at the foot of the mountain...

This thought made Tom's resentment reach its peak.

"You will definitely see the surprise I prepared for you in the future!" Tom said word by word.

Li Weide smiled and said, "Again, I am looking forward to it, Tom."

In Li Weide's eyes, Tom is his best tool for gaining merit points.

We can’t let him be hit too hard and become depressed, so we have to stimulate him like this.

It now seems that the effect is very good.

Suddenly, Alphard next to Tom said, "You two have such a great relationship. My sister never encourages me."

Tom was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Encouragement?"

"Yeah, wasn't Wade encouraging you all along? If she were my sister, she would have criticized me to the point of being useless." Alphard said helplessly.

Tom frowned and looked at Li Weide again. At this time, Li Weide was already chatting with a strange senior student next to him and was not paying attention to the situation here.

Tom couldn't help but recall what Li Weide said, and suddenly felt a little confused.

Could it be that what Li Weide said just now was really just to encourage himself?
Clowns and the like... am I just being too sensitive and overthinking things?

At this moment, Tom couldn't help but recall everything that happened after he met Li Weide.

Then he was silent again.

Because he found that after getting to know Li Weide, although he tried to plot against Li Weide many times, Li Weide's revenge was always a small punishment or a severe warning.

For example, today, I wanted to find someone to beat him up, but his revenge only embarrassed me. Other than that, he could be said to be unharmed.

Moreover, all along, he never forgot what good things he had.

For example, when Levi asked Dumbledore for a book to read, he also asked for one for him...

To be honest, if it were him, and he met someone who was much weaker than him and kept provoking him, he would have found a way to kill the other person long ago!
There is no way he can get along with me like Li Weide does!
Could it be that... although Li Weide seems to have many conflicts with me on the surface, in fact, he really regards me as a friend?

Could it be that I have really misunderstood him all along?
Thinking of this, Tom was really confused.

On the other side, Li Weide, who was chatting enthusiastically with his senior, had no idea that in just these few minutes, very subtle changes had taken place in Tom's heart.

At this time, Annie ran over and sat next to Li Weide excitedly.

"Vade, Tom, I knew you were Slytherins too!"

Anne was sorted after Tom.

After Tom's farce, Dumbledore carefully checked the Sorting Hat and confirmed that there was no problem before continuing the Sorting ceremony.

So, it was not until this time that Anne completed the sorting ceremony and was successfully sorted into Slytherin.

Li Weide moved aside a little without making a sound, but the smile on his face was still warm.

"It's great that we can be in the same college. You don't know, I was a little worried that I would be assigned to another college just now."

Anne said, "You don't have to worry about that. You must be a Slytherin. I'm very good at judging people. But... Tom, how did you let the Sorting Hat put you in Azkaban just now?"

Tom hadn't come back to his senses yet. When he heard Anne's question, he shook his head subconsciously and said, "I don't know..."

Annie said in surprise: "You actually answered me! We have known each other for several hours, and you have never spoken to me before!"

"Tom is just not good at talking to girls. He doesn't have any opinion against you, Annie." Li Weide said with a smile.

Tom looked at Li Weide with a strange look.

The fact that Li Weide spoke for him had happened many times before, but he had never thought much about it and just thought it was Li Weide's bad taste.

But now, after Alphard's reminder, Tom's thoughts were completely different from before.

It seems... Li Weide really treats me as a friend...

Otherwise, why would you always protect me intentionally or unintentionally?
Friends... Can I have friends?
