Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

#116 - Tom: Is there no one who speaks up for me?!

Li Weide pushed open the dormitory door, a cat in his arms.

Since it was already nine o'clock in the evening, everyone in the dormitory was present.

"What's that thing?" Tom asked, frowning.

The Kneazle curled up, hiding in Li Weide's arms, so from a distance, he could only see a ball of fluff…

"Thing? How can you say that, Tom?"

Li Weide held up the Kneazle, showing it to everyone.

"Found a cat, everyone. It wanted to come home with me! So I just picked it up."

The Kneazle lazily scanned the people in the dormitory, then disdainfully turned its head away.

None of these guys are as powerful as its owner!

Suddenly, the Kneazle jumped out of Li Weide's arms, its fur standing on end, hissing at Tom!

Li Weide was a little surprised. Could it be that these two Toms were going to fight at their first meeting?

Tom also looked at the cat with some surprise.

He didn't quite understand why this thing was so hostile towards him.

Suddenly, Nagini raised her head on the bedside table next to Tom.

"Hiss hiss hiss… (That is a Kneazle)"

Then Tom understood that the Kneazle wasn't hostile to him, but to Nagini…

Wait, a Kneazle?!

Tom suddenly looked at Li Weide. Was this guy crazy?

Bringing a Kneazle back to the dormitory?

This thing is very aggressive! This completely violates the Ministry of Magic's…

Sigh… Tom sighed.

It would be strange if a guy like Li Weide could abide by the rules.

Well, but the pot shouldn't call the kettle black. Anyway, he, Tom, was definitely not a law-abiding wizard…

"Relax, Tom. That's not an enemy. Her name is Nagini, and she won't hurt us," Li Weide squatted down and stroked "Tom's" head.

The Tom opposite him looked puzzled. How did that guy know that I was tense just now?

After Li Weide's comfort, "Tom" returned to normal.

Li Weide brought the cat to his bed and used a transformation spell to turn a pile of snack wrappers and other garbage that he hadn't had time to throw away into a beautiful and warm little nest.

"Come on, Tom, have some dried fish," Li Weide said with a smile.

"I don't eat dried fish…" Tom's reply was only halfway through when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He stared wide-eyed, watching Li Weide feed the cat dried fish.

"Wait… you wouldn't name that cat Tom, would you?!"

"Yes, its name is Tom, and your name is also Tom. You two must get along well in the future," Li Weide said with a smile.

"I…" Tom had a lot of swear words, but he didn't dare to say any of them now, all of them churning in his heart.

Get along well?

If this thing wasn't a Kneazle, very fierce, and raised by this bastard Li Weide!

I would hang it from the rafters tonight!

"Hey! This cat is quite smart!" Henry said in surprise.

He didn't know that this was a Kneazle, he only saw that under Li Weide's "persuasion", it completely cancelled its attack mode.

Naturally, he thought this was an overly intelligent cat.

"Yeah! So smart! Where did you find it?"

Alphard said, taking out a lot of snacks from his cabinet and putting them in front of the Kneazle.

The Kneazle naturally did not refuse the tribute from this "servant."

It comfortably nestled in its new nest, then happily ate the "tribute."

"In the evening, I was strolling along the edge of the Black Lake, and then I ran into it. Alas, there was no way, it insisted on coming home with me," Li Weide said with a smile.

At this time, Tom was watching these guys tease the cat with a speechless expression.

No, is that the point?

Isn't the point that this bastard Li Weide gave the cat the exact same name as me?

Is there no one to speak up for me?

Does having a common name mean you have no human rights!

In the dream.

Li Weide had just told his senior all of his research and thoughts for the day.

The senior was silent for a long time before saying: "I never thought before what would happen if I controlled the amount of various emotions in this 'remnant'… Moreover, I am really surprised that you can study 'remnants' to this extent."

"Now it seems that the situation is still optimistic. After adjustment, although the negative effects of the 'remnants' will not be reduced much immediately, the influence of positive emotions on people is far less than that brought by negative emotions," Li Weide said with a smile.

"But…" Li Weide became distressed again, "This is just a study to improve the existing 'remnants'. As for the 'remnants' in your body… Although I have some ideas now, but… With my current ability, I can't do it."

The senior smiled and said: "You can improve this power, which is already very amazing. I remember you said before that you wanted to make something similar to my cloak to store the 'remnants' in my body."

"Yes… Now, I can be sure that my ancient magic can't do this. Therefore, I may have to rely on alchemy. As far as I know, goblin metal can be used as a material, but… I don't have much research on alchemy, especially the alchemy that goblins are good at," Li Weide was also a little helpless.

He might be able to learn a smattering of alchemy in a short period of time with his strong learning ability, but… Goblin metal is, after all, something made by goblins, and can be regarded as their secret recipe…

And with human wizards' alchemy, it would take too much time to re-create something similar to goblin metal. The senior can't wait that long.

The senior suddenly smiled again: "Actually, I should be able to do it."

"You are able to do it?" Li Weide suddenly woke up when he heard this. "Right… That's right!"

Although he can't do it, the senior's knowledge is much higher than his own, it's not surprising that she can do it!

The senior smiled again: "Moreover, our opportunity has come regarding the goblin metal."

"What opportunity?"

"I was bored these past few days, and when my consciousness was wandering in the Forbidden Forest, I found that new goblins had come again. And… Judging from their titles, the one leading the team this time is a very powerful goblin craftsman…"

Li Weide's interest was immediately piqued.

"Goblin craftsman? Isn't this sending me a pillow when I want to sleep?"

Li Weide became happy. Of course, goblin craftsmen are best at making alchemical tools with goblin metal and the like.

"You tell me the address, and I'll catch him tomorrow night. Then I'll use the Imperius Curse or something to control him and let him make things for me… Although it may still take some time for me to master their knowledge…"

The senior shook her head, "You just need to catch him back, that's all, leave the rest to me."

"Uh… Oh right… I forgot again," Li Weide sighed helplessly.

“Don't say that… Leave it to me. I can't just watch you toil for me while I do nothing myself.” The senior said, “Anyway, I'm just idle every day now… Besides, I've spent nearly a century with the ‘Remnants.’ In this world, I believe no one is more familiar with these things than I am… Moreover, after your reminder, I also have many experimental ideas…”

Li Weide said shamefully, “You're right. I've always been too self-important in the past. No matter what it is, I always feel that I have the ability to do it, so I always think about doing it myself… I… I'm too arrogant…”

“In fact, you are not overestimating yourself. You do have the ability to do it, but you haven't fully grown up yet, so it will take some time. Weide, don't be so anxious. You're only eleven years old this year. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Also… don't underestimate me. Although I've been trapped for so many years, my consciousness has been to many places, and I've even learned a lot from the dreams of many powerful wizards…”

Before meeting Li Weide, the senior had actually been trying to save herself.

Therefore, in the years when her consciousness wandered, she used nightmare magic to enter dreams, and she didn't know how much knowledge she had learned…

It's just that those involved are often confused. It wasn't until today that she woke up from Li Weide's research and realized that the emotional ratio in the “Remnants” can be adjusted!

This undoubtedly gave her great inspiration!

Moreover, in terms of controlling the emotional power of the “Remnants,” the senior's pure consciousness ability is much more sensitive than Li Weide's.

Li Weide agreed to the senior's suggestion without hesitation.

To be honest, although Li Weide is not really an eleven-year-old kid,

the magical knowledge he possesses, in the senior's eyes, is really not much stronger than that of ordinary eleven-year-old wizards.

“I should have told you everything I knew earlier. I should have been more humble…”

Li Weide, who had woken up, felt very ashamed.

His experience before time-traveling always made him carry a kind of inappropriate arrogance.

This led him to always ignore the most important point, that is, all his previous experience before time-traveling, in this magical world, actually doesn't help as much as he thought!

Therefore, with his current ability, what he should do is not to hide in the wizard tower's laboratory and painstakingly use his current shallow magical knowledge to research.

Without a mistake, a first, a first, an inside, a content, a, in, a look!

Instead, he should use his previous experience to propose some novel ideas, and then hand over the experimental research part to the more knowledgeable senior…

In this way, he can not only save a huge amount of time, but also the success rate of the experiment is much higher than doing it himself.

For example, in his research this afternoon, he spent several hours separating the emotional power in the “Remnants,” because he failed many times…

In fact, this step would only take the senior a few seconds…

When he woke up from his dream, it was still dark.

Tom Cat was curled up in Li Weide's quilt, snoring loudly.

But the other Tom seemed to have woken up long ago. He was sitting on his bed, holding a magic wand, reading a book by the light of the Lumos spell.

“Are you just waking up, or haven't you slept?” Li Weide asked.

“Haven't slept.” Tom said concisely.

“Why are you so diligent? Isn't it the same to read after waking up?”

“I just want to become stronger faster… That way, I won't be so easily bullied.”

“Tom, are you mocking me?”

“No, no… If you want to pick a fight, you can just beat me up. There's no need to beat around the bush!” Tom said coldly.

This dog thief just woke up and was asking east and west, all of which were pointless things.

Based on past experience, besides wanting to pick a fight and beat himself up, what else could it be?

Could it be that he had a bad dream and came over to beat me up to vent his anger?

“If you want to do it, do it quickly. Don't disturb me from reading.”

Tom threw the book away and lay down on his back, posing as if he was at someone's mercy.

“Tom… How can you misunderstand me like this?”

Li Weide sat up and took out a book from the side, then started flipping through it.

With the Eagle Eye Technique, he didn't even need to use the Lumos spell to read.

“You… you actually read books in the middle of the night too?” Tom was a little surprised now.

He had never seen this guy get up in the middle of the night to read a book.

“I realized my shallowness, so… I urgently need a lot of knowledge to arm myself…”

Li Weide said with emotion.

Li Weide, who had suddenly woken up, clearly realized that his current task was to deepen his shallow magical knowledge as soon as possible.

The previous glory was, after all, a thing of the past.

Having come to this world, everything starts from scratch…

“Your knowledge is still shallow? Hiss… Could it be that you've been possessed by some dirty thing? You've actually started to become humble? Is it that cat? If that's the case, why not just throw that cat away!”

“No! How can you think about throwing away my Tom!”

“Get out! I feel like something's wrong with what you're saying!?”

The next day.

During a break in class, Li Weide took the time to come to the secret passage leading to the battle between the senior and Lan Locke again.

At this time, Tobby was already waiting there.

“Tobby, can you take me inside? This is what it looks like inside.” Li Weide said, raising his magic wand.

Thick white mist sprayed from the tip of the wand.

These mists then formed a scene of a dilapidated secret room in the air.

“I'm sorry, Master Weide. If it were other places, Tobby would be able to take you in. But, this is Hogwarts… The magic of Apparition is restricted. If it's just Tobby himself, he can barely use Apparition in Hogwarts, but if he's taking Master Weide… Waaah, Tobby is useless, he disappointed Master Weide!”

Li Weide stopped Tobby from banging his head against the wall.

“It's okay. Maybe it's more reasonable if I can't get in…”

After Li Weide pondered for a while, he took out a floor plan.

“Tobby, can you understand this picture? This is the floor plan of the secret room inside.”

Tobby nodded, “If Tobby goes in and takes a look, he should be able to recognize it…”

“Well… how about this, you go in and take a look first, remember the terrain inside, and then come out.” Li Weide said.

“Okay!” Tobby said, and disappeared from the spot.

After about five minutes, Tobby reappeared in the secret passage.

“Tobby has remembered the terrain inside. Well… I'm sorry, Master Weide, Tobby feels a little dizzy, because it's too stuffy inside.”

“It's okay, you can just take a rest…” Li Weide said, snapping his fingers.

Then Tobby lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Afterwards, Li Weide directly entered Tobby's dream with nightmare magic!
