Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"Tom, you can leave this to me. Go back to your room and rest." Li Weide took the tattered rag from Tom's hand and waved him away.

Tom suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Li Weide.

To be honest, Li Weide had been acting strangely these past few days, single-mindedly doing good deeds…

It would be one thing if he was just crazy himself, but he even forced me to come and help!

Honestly, Tom had grown up so much, and even though he was a member of the orphanage, when had he ever done any work?

Even when he was assigned work, he would have other children "voluntarily" help!

But…

Who told him to be unable to beat Li Weide?

He just didn't expect that after enduring humiliation and working odd jobs behind Li Weide for a few days, this bastard would actually let him go back to rest early today for the first time?

Something's not right! There must be a conspiracy!

"No… I'm not tired at all, really. I can still keep working." Tom silently took back the rag and put on a standard smile.

Although he didn't know what bad idea Li Weide was brewing, as long as he didn't do what he said, he definitely wouldn't suffer!

"Huh? I was thinking about something else just now, I didn't hear clearly, what did you just say?" Li Weide looked at Tom.

Meeting Li Weide's kind gaze, Tom's smile gradually disappeared…

Okay, he doesn't know if he will suffer in the future if he doesn't do what Li Weide says, but now… he will definitely suffer!

"I mean, I'm indeed a little tired, so I'll have to trouble you with the rest of the work."

Tom very willingly returned the rag to Li Weide, and then quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Li Weide naturally didn't let Tom return to his room for no reason. When Dumbledore wanted to see Tom later, it would be better in Tom's room.

After all, Li Weide also wanted to see Dumbledore's famous scene of setting the wardrobe on fire.

Li Weide put down the rag, turned around, and hurried to his room.

To prevent Dumbledore from coming to his room first, he had to hide all the bottles and jars he had hidden under the carpet in another place. After all, this level of great wizard can always see some traces that others cannot see.

These past few days, the system store hadn't actually refreshed with anything good. Most of them were potions and some strange-shaped materials.

These things could all be bought in the wizarding world, so after Li Weide selectively bought some potions for backup, he didn't buy anything else.

And in the past few days, Li Weide discovered another thing, that is, if he did some good deeds himself, the increase in merit points seemed insignificant.

However, if he dragged Tom to do it together… the result would be completely different!

Li Weide guessed that the more evil the guy he forced to do good deeds was, the more merit points he would get.

Perhaps, it was because his behavior reduced the probability of him doing evil in the future?

After all, the system had also prompted him when it gave him 100 merit points before, seemingly because he had changed some of Tom's life trajectory…

Of course, this was just a guess, and Li Weide planned to find another villain to try it out in the future.

However, also because of this reason, after Li Weide dragged Tom for some "labor reform"\n… he successfully saved up a full 300 merit points!

Oh… Tom, may Merlin protect him!

After Li Weide hid the potions, he nonchalantly returned to the corner of the stairs and picked up the rag.

Just at this moment, Madam Cole walked out of the office with a flushed face, and Dumbledore slowly followed behind her. Obviously, their business was over.

"Oh… Weide." Madam Cole immediately called out to him when she saw Li Weide.

As Madam Cole approached, Li Weide smelled a scent of gin. It seemed that her flushed face was because of the alcohol.

"This is Mr. Dumbledore… I'm sorry, it's Dumblebore… He's here to find you and Tom. He's here to tell you… Forget it, let him tell you himself. Where's Tom?"

Meeting Dumbledore's gentle gaze, Li Weide replied, "Tom went back to his room to rest."

"What's the excuse this time? Sigh… oh well, he's changed a lot since he started playing with you… What else can I ask for? God, when have I ever seen Tom help other children? Dear, this must be your credit." Madam Cole said with great emotion.

Since Li Weide came, the withdrawn and eccentric Tom seemed to have changed into a different person.

Not only did he no longer bully other children, he even went with Li Weide to help the other children in the orphanage!

He never neglected some of the chores in the orphanage.

Madam Cole was a little puzzled by such a huge change in a bad child in such a short period of time, but she was more gratified.

"Madam Cole, I didn't actually do anything. Tom was very kind to begin with, but in the past, he was just a little introverted and didn't know how to communicate with others." Li Weide said with a smile.

'Hmm, Tom has always been kind and introverted in front of me.'

Kind? Introverted? Is that Tom you're talking about?

Madam Cole couldn't help but curl her lips, but since there were outsiders present, she didn't say anything more.

"I still have a lot of things to do. Since this gentleman is looking for both of you, then you can take him to Tom's room…"

"Madam Cole~"

Madam Cole hadn't finished speaking when Ellie's call rang out from the distance again.

"Coming!" Madam Cole responded loudly, and then looked at Li Weide helplessly. "Are you okay on your own?"

"Of course, I'm fine." Li Weide nodded.

After Madam Cole left in a hurry, Li Weide looked at Dumbledore. This was the first time he was alone with Dumbledore.

Just by looking Dumbledore in the eyes, Li Weide knew that although this person looked very gentle, he was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

That was an instinctive feeling, like looking up at a high mountain at the foot of the mountain… full of an indescribable sense of oppression, giving people a feeling of being difficult to climb.

Li Weide said politely, "Sir, please come this way."

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards Tom's room.

Dumbledore immediately followed. Li Weide keenly felt that Dumbledore's gaze had been fixed on him.

"Aren't you curious about why I'm looking for you?" Dumbledore suddenly asked from behind.

"Of course, I'm curious."

"Then why don't you ask me anything? You don't seem like an introverted child."

Dumbledore was indeed a little puzzled. Children of this age generally had a strong curiosity.

Since he knew that he was here to find him and Tom, why hadn't this child asked a single question along the way?

"Since you're looking for me and Tom at the same time, it should be for the same thing. Since that's the case, then we can just talk about it together when we see Tom, so you don't have to repeat it."

"Hmm… that's true, but I don't actually mind repeating it a few more times. After all, what I'm about to tell you isn't something that can be explained in just a few words."

Dumbledore looked at Li Weide's thin back with great interest. He had seen many eleven-year-old children, but he had never seen a child as calm as Li Weide.

Moreover, according to Madam Cole, this child with the face of an oriental person was picked up from the street by her, and had always been tight-lipped about his past.

Madam Cole guessed that he must have experienced unspeakable pain in his past, so she didn't explore his background too much. However, his words and actions all indicated that his origins would definitely not be too ordinary.

This made Dumbledore have some curiosity about Li Weide. Perhaps this child came from a pure-blood family in the East?

"I heard… Tom did a lot of bad things before he met you, but after he met you, he suddenly changed? How did you do it?"

Hello? Is anyone watching?
