Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Chapter 120 Tom: I understand, I just need to imitate Levid…

“Why?”

On the way back, Levid couldn't help but ask.

“Why what?” Tom asked expressionlessly.

“I'm asking you, why did you tell Dumbledore about this? This isn't your style.” Levid asked curiously.

“I just wanted Dumbledore to come with us,” Tom said. “That way, you won't be able to trick me.”

Levid: ?

“Don't take me for a fool, Levid. You never do anything unless there's a profit. Why would you accompany me to see my family for no reason? You must be planning to trick me somewhere.”

“Tom, you misunderstand me too much. When have I ever done anything only for profit? Besides… have you forgotten that we're best friends? Isn't it normal for best friends to help each other?”

“Heh, you even said you were Annie's best friend… weren't you calculating everything clearly? Best friends are meant to be sold.”

“Nonsense! A best friend is a best friend!”

“Beware of fire, beware of thieves… beware of you! I'm never wrong!”

“Okay… whatever you say. Anyway, I really didn't have any other intentions this time…”

Levid really didn't have any other intentions this time. Just like when he wanted to see Dumbledore burn Tom's cabinet, he simply wanted to watch the fun.

He didn't expect that this kid had been tricked by him so much that he was now guarding against him to this extent…

Tom curled his lips. In his opinion, regardless of whether Levid was scheming or not, it was always right to be cautious.

Moreover, with Dumbledore around, he felt much more at ease.

Although Dumbledore didn't like him very much, he was very reliable when it came to serious matters.

Furthermore… Levid was right about one thing. It really wasn't his style to tell Dumbledore directly this time.

However, precisely because of this, it was a very good opportunity to improve his image with Dumbledore!

Tom wanted Dumbledore to see that he was no longer the gloomy, evil little devil he used to be!

A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold! Look, I'm not the Tom I used to be! I've started to change, so stop guarding against me!

…

Early the next morning.

The students of Hogwarts were heading towards the station with their luggage.

They had to take the Hogwarts Express to leave Hogwarts.

Levid and Tom did not follow the crowd.

They had taken their luggage to Dumbledore's office very early.

Dumbledore led them to the fireplace.

“Because the residence I arranged for you has been set up with the Fidelius Charm. As long as you don't reveal the location, no one will be able to find you…”

As Dumbledore spoke, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Levid and Tom.

“The location of your residence is written on it. Don't say it out loud, memorize it, and then burn the paper.”

Levid and Tom leaned closer to the paper.

They saw written on it, [Godric's Hollow, 81].

Levid and Tom exchanged surprised glances.

Because they had been to Godric's Hollow before, and then they were attacked by Grindelwald's followers.

And this number 81… didn't seem to be the same house as before.

However, since it was protected by the Fidelius Charm, it would be safe even if they returned to Godric's Hollow.

“Have you memorized it?” Dumbledore asked.

Levid and Tom nodded. Then, Levid threw the paper into the fireplace.

The paper instantly turned to ashes.

“Alright… I've temporarily set up a fireplace here that leads to the outside world.” Dumbledore picked up a small saucer filled with Floo Powder.

He grabbed a handful of Floo Powder and threw it into the fireplace.

The flames in the fireplace immediately turned a ghostly green, and the flames emitted also temporarily lost their temperature.

“Shout out the address, and then we can arrive.”

At this moment, Dumbledore's office was actually the Deputy Headmaster's office of Hogwarts.

Visitors who wanted to visit Hogwarts through the fireplace would come through this fireplace.

However, under normal circumstances, you had to apply in advance, otherwise, this fireplace would usually be closed.

Levid took the lead in grabbing a handful of Floo Powder and stepped into the fireplace, “Godric's Hollow, 81!”

“Bang!”

The green flames surged, and then Levid's figure disappeared.

Levid only felt like his whole body was sliding quickly in a long slide!

Along the way, it seemed that he passed through different fireplace exits.

He could even faintly hear the voices coming from other fireplace exits…

“Whoosh!”

Just as Levid wanted to try to hear clearly what they were saying, he suddenly felt his feet touch solid ground.

Levid stepped out of the fireplace and then found himself in a simply decorated living room.

Next to the living room was a small kitchen, and next to the kitchen was a spiral staircase leading to the second floor.

“Master Levid, you've arrived!”

Toby ran out of the kitchen and stood respectfully in front of Levid.

“Why are you here?” Levid asked.

Toby said happily: “Professor Dumbledore told Toby in advance to come here to wait for Master Levid. He said that from today onwards, this will be Master Levid's home.”

“I see…”

“Whoosh!”

Just as Levid was looking around, Tom and Dumbledore appeared one after another behind him.

“The rooms are on the second floor, would you like to go up and take a look?” Dumbledore asked.

“Okay…”

Levid and Tom planned to put their luggage in the rooms first…

The most important thing was… to snatch a good room from the other's hands!

“Whoosh!”

Just as Levid and Tom couldn't help but want to charge forward.

Suddenly, a fiery red figure suddenly appeared from the air!

Levid and Tom drew their wands at the first time.

However, the red figure landed on Dumbledore's shoulder.

No mistake, first release, first content, always read!

It was actually a big bird with a fiery red body…

“Levid, Tom, this is Fawkes, my friend… yes, it's a phoenix,” Dumbledore said with a smile.

Phoenix Fawkes tilted its head and looked at the two boys in front of it.

“Phoenix?” Only then did Levid remember that the Dumbledore family did indeed have phoenixes.

Looking at Fawkes, both Levid and Tom felt that this big bird was a bit ugly…

“It's so beautiful!” Levid exclaimed.

“Yes… I've never seen such a beautiful big bird,” Tom continued.

Faced with the insincere praise from the two, Fawkes proudly raised its head, appearing very proud.

“I'll leave Fawkes here. In case there really is any danger, it can take you away,” Dumbledore said with a smile.

Levid felt very surprised. Dumbledore actually left the phoenix here for their safety?

How much did he value the two of them…

Tom was also very shocked. Dumbledore's attention to them far exceeded his expectations…

Dumbledore's idea was actually very simple. First of all, these two people were indeed rare talents, and secondly… Grindelwald was interested in them.

Although he didn't know why, since they were people that Grindelwald was interested in, Dumbledore couldn't let Grindelwald succeed even if he didn't know the reason for the time being!

Therefore, he deliberately left the phoenix to protect Levid and Tom.

…

The house actually had five rooms on the second floor, and each room was not small.

Judging from the size of the living room, it was obvious that there were mostly five rooms because of the Undetectable Extension Charm.

With so many rooms, the two didn't have to fight anymore.

However, Tom still subconsciously chose the room farthest from Levid's room…

After packing their luggage, the two went downstairs to the living room.

Dumbledore was in the living room setting up a comfortable nest for the phoenix Fawkes on the fireplace.

Obviously, Fawkes liked the temperature on the fireplace.

“Fawkes likes to eat dried fish. I've stored a lot in the basement.”

Dumbledore instructed Toby while arranging the phoenix nest.

“Well, there is still a lot of food in the basement. If there is no more, you can have Levid write a letter to tell me. Let me prepare it for you, so you don't have to risk going out to buy it.”

“Toby can go out to buy and then Apparate home directly,” Toby said respectfully.

Toby was very clear about Levid's thoughts.

If even buying food had to be done through Dumbledore, what would be the difference between that and being under house arrest?

It was best to be as self-sufficient as possible and get rid of Dumbledore's supervision as much as possible.

“That's good too. In short, if you encounter any problems, be sure to find me,” Dumbledore urged again.

At this time, Levid and Tom had already come down.

Dumbledore asked: “Then… when do you plan to go to the Gaunt family?”

Tom pursed his lips, and then said: “Let's go today… if you have time.”

“Okay.” Dumbledore nodded without objecting. “The Gaunt family's house is in Little Hangleton. We can still use this fireplace to go directly… By the way, I won't close this fireplace. If you want to go anywhere, it's safer to use the fireplace.”

“Would you like to have some breakfast first? Toby has already prepared several servings of food,” Toby asked cautiously from the side.

“Okay, we haven't had breakfast yet.”

Levid did not reject the good intentions of the house-elf, which made Toby feel grateful…

Seeing this, Dumbledore's gaze became even gentler.

Levid would even consider the emotions of his own house-elf…

In the wizarding world, how many wizards could do this?

Dumbledore felt that he was right after all.

“Levid, you really are a gentle child…”

Tom watched from the side, feeling a little envious.

He had to try so hard to perform in order to get Dumbledore to change his opinion of him even slightly.

But this guy Levid… with just a few words, he could get Dumbledore to praise him greatly!

Tsk, it seems that I still have a lot to learn!

“Hiss… Is there a possibility that I don't actually need to think too much and just need to imitate that dog thief…”
