Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil
#20 - Why buy a book? Can't you just memorize it?
Li Weide and Tom spent a lot of time in the magic wand shop.
Li Weide's performance gave Ollivander some inspiration that only he himself could understand.
He didn't even charge Tom and Li Weide money... …
Standing at the door of the magic wand shop, a trace of confusion flashed in Tom's eyes.
"What's going on? Now that I have money, I can't spend it?"
"If you want to spend money... you can help me buy my list..." Li Weide happily handed over his list.
"Buy your own things yourself!" Tom said, then turned around and left quickly, as if some dirty thing was chasing him.
Li Weide shook his head helplessly. Now that the child has money, his wings have hardened.
After sighing for a while, he began to stroll through Diagon Alley according to his shopping list.
It's already three o'clock in the afternoon, and time is running out. They have to get back to Wool's Orphanage before dark.
Li Weide was very fast. Before long, he arrived at Flourish and Blotts with large and small bags of things on his back.
This is his last stop for shopping today, and it is also the one he is most looking forward to.
Of course... it's also the stop Tom is most looking forward to.
Li Weide had already seen his figure. Tom was now looking at all kinds of spell books with great interest.
However, he did not go up to disturb Tom, as he still had his own things to do.
He looked at the time and felt it was still early.
Li Weide handed the textbook list to the clerk and asked him to bring over all the textbooks he needed to buy.
The clerk skillfully went to get the books for Li Weide.
Li Weide walked alone into the towering bookshelves, searched for a while, took out a book and opened it to read.
… …
"We should go!"
Li Weide only felt his shoulder being patted. He turned his head and saw Tom.
At this time, the afterglow of the setting sun shone into the bookstore, and it was already very late.
Li Weide turned his head and quickly finished reading the last few pages of the book in his hand, and then came to the counter with Tom.
Their textbooks had already been packed and placed there.
Next to Tom's textbooks, there was also a stack of books, presumably these were the books he wanted to buy separately.
Tom frowned as he looked at the pile of books and the large and small bags, feeling a little troubled.
"Can you help us send these books to us?" Li Weide asked politely. "There are too many, we can't move them."
"Of course. Please write down your address." The clerk smiled and handed over the pen and paper.
"Then can you help us send these together?" Li Weide took the other things to the clerk.
"Yes, but there will be a handling fee for books that are not from our store."
"No problem." Li Weide readily agreed. He didn't care about this small amount of money.
After writing down the address, the two walked out of Flourish and Blotts empty-handed.
Except for their own wands, they chose to have everything they bought today sent to them.
"Didn't you buy any other books?" Tom looked at Li Weide suspiciously.
He had just noticed that Li Weide had not bought any books other than the textbooks required by the school.
Tom knew Li Weide's character very well. This guy, like himself, was extremely eager for power.
How could he give up buying spell books to increase his power?
"I bought a lot of magic automatic quick-write pens. And a lot of parchment." Li Weide said happily.
"What are you buying those things for?" Tom asked suspiciously.
Li Weide asked in surprise, "I've memorized all the books I'm interested in. I can just write them out when I get back. Why should I buy them?"
"Tch..." Tom didn't believe a single punctuation mark of Li Weide's bragging.
Tom didn't know that Li Weide wasn't bragging, because he really had the ability to remember everything he saw... …
Li Weide looked at the clock in the roadside shop and suddenly sighed, "Instead of worrying about this here, you might as well think about how to explain to Mrs. Cole later. We've been missing for a full twelve hours... …"
Tom's face changed drastically when he heard this, "You... you're not planning to tell her that I took you out to play all day, are you?"
Li Weide blinked, "Isn't that... the case? You suggested sneaking out this morning. Also, I'm a 'good' boy... Guess who Mrs. Cole will believe, you or me?"
"Damn it! If you hadn't insisted on ripping off those thugs, we would have been back long ago!"
"So what? Didn't you spend the money you earned? Those books you bought in Flourish and Blotts cost one or two Galleons each. If you hadn't gone with me, could you have bought so many?"
"You... you bastard!"
"Speaking of which, you've gotten so many benefits, shouldn't you contribute a little and take the blame? You can't just freeload, can you?"
"Freeload? You freaking... didn't I do anything? When we raided the human traffickers' lair, who summoned those snakes?"
"Oh, right, right, right, and then you summoned Nagini, and almost lost your life, right?"
"Aren't you ashamed? That was clearly the idea you came up with!"
"I don't care about that... Anyway, I was just dragged out by you to sneak out."
"You... don't you think I'm really afraid of that old cat?"
"Then take the blame!"
"No! I refuse!"
"Then are you afraid of me?"
"You... you're ruthless!"
The two walked back, bickering. By the time they returned to the orphanage gate, it was completely dark.
After walking so far, Tom only felt that his legs no longer belonged to him... …
However, Li Weide next to him did not look tired at all.
He had walked several kilometers, but he still looked radiant.
"Why aren't you tired at all?" Tom gasped for breath. He had never tried walking so far at once!
"Well, I bought some temporary body-enhancing potions... You know what potions are, right? It's that kind of... …"
"I know what that is!" Tom said dissatisfied: "Why didn't you remind me to buy some too?"
"Someone didn't seem willing to walk with me, so how could I call you? So I had to buy it myself."
"You..." Tom felt that his lungs were about to explode. He really wanted to retort, but he was the one in the wrong, and he couldn't retort at all... …
Just as he was feeling depressed and preparing to draw his wand to fight Li Weide.
"It seems... you guys were very busy today." A familiar voice came from the shadows.
Li Weide and Tom stopped talking instantly as if they had been hit by a Silencing Charm.
Dumbledore slowly walked out of the shadows, his scrutinizing gaze falling on the two children in front of him.
Tom only felt his blood run cold... He really hated this feeling!
"Good evening, Professor Dumbledore. What a coincidence, we can even meet here... …"
Li Weide broke the silence.
He looked at the orphanage door behind Dumbledore. Obviously, this was no coincidence... Dumbledore was definitely waiting for them here!
