Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"What's the use of him trying to win us over?" Tom asked, puzzled. "We're just two underage wizards!"

"Tom, if we were insignificant, Dumbledore wouldn't have gone to such lengths to send us to a safe house." Leved shrugged and continued, "It's just that we're not clear on what he wants from us…"

"He actually dared to send us these things… Isn't he afraid we'll give them to Dumbledore and ruin his plans?" Tom asked.

"Tom, you're playing dumb too much… Don't you know the reason?"

Upon hearing this, Tom indeed stopped asking pointless questions.

According to Annie, this kind of magical power was what Leved and Tom were desperately seeking. How could they possibly tell Dumbledore?

Grindelwald sent these things over with confidence because he believed he had grasped Leved and Tom's desire for power.

Leved looked at the two small orbs in front of him, feeling very pleased.

Sending back two means that one of them must have been opened by Grindelwald.

In other words, Grindelwald must have fully realized the function of this power… He should be hooked!

Tom suddenly looked at Leved suspiciously. This time, he didn't ask pointless questions, but instead asked the key question!

"Since he sent these things over, does that mean… your 'fake goods' fooled Grindelwald? Didn't you say that your 'fake goods' could only fool Annie, not Grindelwald? Why…"

"Oh dear, Tom, you've become smarter again… Hmm, wait, let me think, ah, that's right, it's because technology improves! The previous ones couldn't fool Grindelwald, but these ones can!"

"Were you just making up a reason just now? Seriously… You can't even be bothered to prepare a reason to deceive me in advance?!"

"That's not true."

"So, the so-called 'fake goods' that you gave Annie to absorb before were all real?!"

"You misunderstand."

"Leved! I won't trust you anymore!"

Tom angrily grabbed a small orb and turned to leave, not even wanting to bother with the other Christmas presents.

This time, Tom was really about to go crazy. He originally thought that Annie was absorbing fake goods and felt sorry for her.

Unexpectedly… the clown was me?!

Thinking that he had been eagerly giving her real things before, Tom regretted it immensely!

"Tom…"

"Hmph!" Tom ignored Leved and prepared to go upstairs.

"Catch."

Tom turned his head and saw the other metal orb being thrown over by Leved. Tom quickly caught the small orb.

"You… What are you doing?"

Tom looked in surprise at the other small orb that Leved threw over in his hand. What if it broke? What a waste!

"You can take it together." Leved said nonchalantly.

"You… You don't want it?" Tom suddenly became suspicious.

At this time, he also woke up from his rage and noticed something was wrong again.

Isn't Leved very eager for power?

Why is he not interested in something that can improve his strength?

Not only did he generously give all the ones he found before to Annie, but now he's also giving his share to me?

Could it be that he had already absorbed his fill when I secretly investigated him before?

No! Tom denied this possibility.

Because although Leved's strength is still strong to him, there is no sign of him suddenly becoming stronger!

He was very clear about Annie's sudden increase in strength after absorbing this magical power!

If Leved had also absorbed it, and absorbed a lot of it, it would be impossible for there to be no signs at all!

"Why don't you want it? Could it be that this magical power really has side effects?" Tom asked in a deep voice.

Leved sneered and said, "The real strong are never willing to use these external objects to make themselves stronger."

"Hmph, I knew it, there must be side effects!" Tom had an 'I knew it' expression.

"I said I don't want to use it just because I disdain to use it. Where are the side effects?" Leved frowned.

"If there are no side effects, would you be willing to throw it out for me to use?" Tom said with a sneer.

"You, why have you suddenly become so shrewd? Forget it, use it or don't." Leved said unhappily.

Although the residue has side effects, it must be based on the premise of a large amount of absorption.

If there is only a little bit, it is not enough to be addictive. On the contrary, it can amplify power.

Since Tom doesn't want it, then forget it.

Seeing Leved's expression, Tom became suspicious again.

After struggling for a long time, he finally walked over and put the two small orbs back in front of Leved.

Since I can't make up my mind… then let's see what Leved does.

Since Leved is unwilling to use it, then I won't use it either. This is the safest way!

"Amazing, Tom, you can now resist the temptation of power!"

"Hmph…"

Tom reluctantly stood up, hugged his gifts, and walked to another corner of the living room to slowly unpack them.

Of course, he didn't look back the whole time, for fear that if he looked back at the two small orbs, he wouldn't be able to suppress the impulse in his heart again…

Leved chuckled. If this Tom can grow up in the end, he will definitely be more terrifying than Voldemort.

Because although it is very difficult, he has indeed learned the most difficult quality to learn… restraint!

Leved turned around and started unpacking his gifts again.

Unpacking gifts on Christmas is actually a good opportunity to sort out one's relationships.

After all, only people who have interacted with you or are eager to interact with you will give you gifts.

This is also his network.

Soon, Leved found a gift from the Malfoy family, not from Abraxas, but… from Abraxas's father.

It was a valuable and gorgeous cane, and the handle of the cane could be opened. After opening it, it was a very good wand handle.

In other words, this is a beautiful cane that can hide a wand.

"Tsk tsk, this Malfoy family, this aesthetic is really… not much has changed in generations."

无一错 一首 一发 一内 一容 一 在 一一看 ！

Although he complained, Leved happily put away the gift, because it represented the complete surrender of the Malfoy family.

Next, Leved also found gifts from other pure-blood families. Without exception, they were all valuable items.

Obviously, someone from the Malfoy family had revealed something to them.

For these surrendering families, Leved invariably sent them a Christmas card…

The value of a Christmas card is not high, a sickle can buy a lot, but Leved's reply represents that he, or rather, the "family power" behind him, has accepted their surrender, which is of great significance to these fence-sitting pure-blood families.

Next, Leved unwrapped the gift from Dumbledore.

It was a Transfiguration Technique experience book written by himself. Although it no longer has much practical significance for the current Leved, it can be regarded as giving Leved an excuse to use Dumbledore's unique Transfiguration Technique in the future.

Professor Slughorn's gift is still simple and crude, a full bottle of Felix Felicis…

Although Leved already has Felix Felicis, he wants as much of this potion as possible!

Even if he can't use too much himself, selling it directly is also a lot of wealth!

It has to be said that Professor Slughorn is indeed unusually good to Leved.

Of course, as a prominent figure in the school, in addition to these two professors, other professors also sent some gifts.

Apart from the gifts from these professors and those pure-blood families, the other gifts seemed much more ordinary.

However, Leved seemed even happier, because these people were all members of his club. Strictly speaking, they were the foundation for his future fortune…

Of course, in order to stabilize these people's hearts, Leved also spent a lot of money on the gifts he sent.

After Leved was busy and finally unpacked the gifts, it was already noon.

Tom had already unpacked the gifts and had been watching Leved unpack them, feeling sour in his heart.

He usually manages the club, but these guys… only sent him some greeting cards, and the best gift was actually a snack box from Annie…

And what about the gifts they sent to Leved? They were either all kinds of fun wizarding toys or all kinds of delicious things…

Comparing people is infuriating…

"Hmph… Finished unpacking? Exhausted you!"

Leved said happily: "In fact, not tired at all!"

Saying that, he tied a pink bow on Nagini's snake head, "Nagini, this is my Christmas gift to you!"

Leved took a mirror and put it in front of Nagini.

Nagini looked at the bow on her head with a disgusted expression, rubbing it on the table uncomfortably, but unfortunately, she couldn't rub it off…

"Toby! You have a gift too."

"Toby… Does Toby have a gift too?" The house-elf Toby was so happy that he almost fainted.

"Of course!"

Saying that, Leved reached into his pocket, took out a large gold ring, and threw it over.

"Toby, as my personal butler, you have to have style! Wear it!"

Toby excitedly put the shiny gold ring on his hand, and then he really fainted happily…

"Wait… Why does this ring look so familiar?" Tom looked at the ring suspiciously.

"Well, of course, it was made from the Gaunt family's heirloom ring! Anyway, the Resurrection Stone is not going to be inlaid back, and you don't want it either. Don't waste it! It's just right to decorate my butler!"

"You seriously… Forget it… Then where's my gift?"

"Huh?"

"You… You wouldn't have forgotten, would you… I even gave you one!"
