Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 112 Of course you are the bait, could it be me?
"Why are you so late tonight?" Mr. Ogg was very dissatisfied with the three people coming back so late, and there was even a little panic in his tone...

In fact, he regretted it soon after letting the three little brats into the forbidden forest.

He didn't know what was wrong with him. After being flattered for a few times, he actually dared to let three underage wizards enter the Forbidden Forest...

He didn't follow before because the senior students were leading the team.

The senior students are fully capable of handling the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.

But as for the three first-year wizards... I can only say that it’s a good thing nothing happened!
If something really happens... losing his job is the least of his worries, he might even end up in Azkaban!

"Sorry, we just saw a group of moon-crazy beasts dancing on the road. Then we unknowingly watched them for a little longer."

Lies are something that Li Weide can easily come up with.

"It turns out to be a moon-crazy beast... No wonder, this little creature likes to dance in the moonlight." Mr. Oger had no doubts.

This cute and magical animal, the Moon Beast, is indeed very attractive to little ones of this age.

"Next time I'll take you in myself! It's too dangerous to let you go in by yourselves!" Mr. Ogg said, and sent the three people back to the castle.

Walking in the empty corridor of the castle late at night, Li Weide said with some worry: "What should we do... If Mr. Ogg wants to go in with us in the future, it will be difficult to deal with. It seems that this search for magical power can only be suspended for a while. I have to find a secret passage leading to the outside of the castle..."

Tom couldn't help but look at Li Weide again. Wouldn't it be easy for this guy to deal with Mr. Oger?
Besides, secret passages and such were not...

Then Tom discovered that Li Wei was looking in the direction of Anne.

In other words, this sentence was still said by Li Weide deliberately for Annie to hear.

Tom came to his senses, closed his mouth, and swallowed back the words he was about to say.

After hearing what Li Weide said, Annie hesitated for a moment and then said nothing.

Originally, she wanted to say that she knew a way that led directly from the castle to the Forbidden Forest.

This was the secret passage her aunt told her.

Before, she had always used this route to sneak into the Forbidden Forest.

But after thinking it over again and again, she decided not to tell Li Weide and Tom.

In fact, it would be best if Livid and Tom couldn't go with me!

In this way, she can take all the "magical power" by herself!
At night, there are always witches wandering around and searching in the Forbidden Forest.

The reason why they didn't run into the Witch Party tonight was because she reported to Nurmengard about their plan to go to the Forbidden Forest tonight.

In order to prevent Levitra and the others from discovering his plan, Grindelwald suspended the search tonight.

That is, as long as she wants to go out and collect magical power in the future.

All we need to do is tell Grindelwald in advance that Levi and Tom will be out at night, and the witches in the Forbidden Forest will stop their actions that night.

In this way... her actions of going out at night to collect magical power would be truly unnoticed by anyone!

Thinking of this, Annie was both excited and nervous!

Suddenly, Li Weide asked, "Annie, you look a little excited. Do you know the secret passage out of the castle?"

Anne came back to her senses and quickly shook her head and said, "No, I don't know either. Tonight is my first time in the Forbidden Forest. How could I know?"

"Oh...so that's the case. That's such a pity..." Li Weide said with regret.

Tom looked at Anne with pity.

He knew Li Weide very well, so he knew very well that when Anne answered that she didn't know, she was already in Li Weide's little notebook.

Li Weide is a guy who holds grudges!

Tom has a lot to say about this...

Soon, the three people, each with their own hidden agenda, fell silent. After a while, they returned to the door of the common room.

"harmonious!"

Anne gave the new password and the door to the common room opened.

As the influence of the mutual aid society expanded, the door order for Slytherin's common room was changed from "pure blood" to "harmony".

This has to be said to be a great victory for the mutual aid society...

"...Don't worry, we will find a way out. Um...good night..."

After Annie finished speaking, she walked towards the girls' dormitory.

Li Weide and Tom watched her back disappear around the corner of the second-floor stairs and did not return to the dormitory immediately.

They found a secluded spot near the window and sat down.

Outside the window of the Slytherin common room is the black lake bottom reflecting the dark green water.

Sitting near the window, you can clearly see the fish swimming at the bottom of the Black Lake.

Occasionally, you can even see a huge tentacle passing through the darkness...

Li Wei De picked up the magic wand and drew a graceful arc in the air.

Then Tom noticed that the crackling sound in the fireplace, which he could faintly hear just now, had completely disappeared.

Obviously, the sounds here were blocked by some magic that Levid did not understand.

"It seems that Annie is not telling the truth."

Tom spoke with confidence after making sure that no one would overhear him.

Li Weide smiled and asked, "This is normal, Tom...Put yourself in her shoes. If you were her, would you tell us about the secret passage?"

Tom was silent. In fact, if he were Anne, he also wouldn't want to tell others about the secret passage. This way, he could keep the magical power to himself and become stronger quickly!
"Even if that's the case...how could she find other locations without your help in estimating the location?" Tom asked after a moment of silence.

"Have you forgotten that she is very familiar with the route tonight? You don't think they can't find those places, do you? They just don't know how to find those powers in those places... Now, I have provided her with the method, so she can naturally leave us alone... and even leave the people behind her alone to work alone."

Tom couldn't help but feel a little relieved, relieved that those so-called magic powers were fake, and all this was just arranged by Li Weide. Otherwise, Annie might really be able to take all the magic powers for herself!
At this moment, Tom thought of the "fake" made by Li Weide.

“Those fakes…seem to be really effective?”

"Of course. Don't you see how many precious potion materials I used? Although this stuff is a fake made by me, it can indeed improve a person's strength."

"What?!" Tom's eyes widened. "Can this thing really..."

"Don't get excited, Tom... Do you think there's no need to pay a price for the sudden increase in strength? There are side effects." Li Weide said calmly.

Anyway, the residue did have side effects, so what he said was not completely deceiving Tom.

"So there are side effects..." Tom felt relieved immediately after hearing that. At the same time, he felt even more sorry for Anne.

Not only was I tricked, but I also absorbed fake products with side effects!
Of course...if Tom finds out that he is the one who has been tricked the most, he will definitely fight to the death with Li Weide...

"Anyway, we just need to wait and see what happens, and let her absorb the energy without worrying about it. When she finds that her power has grown to the point where she can no longer hide it, she will naturally help us pass the news to Grindelwald..."

Tom nodded. "That shouldn't be a problem, but...if Grindelwald comes, how are you going to deal with it? Are you going to tell Dumbledore? What reasons are you going to use to explain why you know all this?"

"Tom, if Grindelwald comes, we definitely can't count on Professor Dumbledore." Levid said calmly.

"Why?" Tom asked puzzledly.

"Grindelwald knows Dumbledore's power better than anyone else, so...if he wants to come to Hogwarts to cause trouble, he must find a way to transfer Dumbledore away."

"Yeah... Anyway, Dumbledore doesn't know what's going on here. If he is transferred away, there may be no one else in Hogwarts who can match him except Principal Dippet. However, Principal Dippet is already very old... He may not be a match for Grindelwald." Tom asked worriedly, "In that case, how are you going to deal with Grindelwald?"

If we can't defeat him just by attracting him, then there's nothing we can do...

"If I can't beat him, then I can't beat him. Anyway, my goal is not to defeat Grindelwald... It's not surprising that we can't do something that even Dumbledore can't do."

"Then what are you doing..." Tom was now confused.

You spent a lot of time scheming and finally managed to lure Grindelwald and his witch party here, but in the end, you have no intention of defeating Grindelwald. So what's the point of doing this?
"My target has always been the wizard party under him. We are just first-year wizards, so we only need to do what we can." Li Weide said with a smile.

"You want to arrest all those witches he brought here? But... can you really defeat so many witches? And... I don't think Grindelwald will just sit back and do nothing!"

Tom still felt that this was unreliable. No matter how powerful Levitra was, he was only eleven years old. It was almost impossible for him to fight so many witches.

"Don't underestimate Principal Dippet. How could he be the headmaster of Hogwarts for so many years and live to such an old age without some ability? He will definitely be able to stop Grindelwald for a while. We just need to find a way to take down those witches before Grindelwald comes to reinforce us."

"What difference does it make? If Grindelwald comes, he will definitely bring a lot of witches with him. How can you possibly defeat so many witches in such a limited time?" Tom paused, then continued, "Besides, how do you know that Grindelwald will personally deal with Principal Dippet? If I were him, I would let my men tie up the principal, and then I would go find that kind of power myself!"

"Tom, you are very smart. You even thought of this." Li Weide smiled approvingly.

"Do you have any other solution?" Tom saw that Li Weide was not surprised at all, so he knew that he must have thought of this as well.

"Yes... I have prepared several plans for dealing with this." Li Weide smiled. "What I just told you is just one of the situations, and I haven't finished yet... What you are most confused about is how we can easily defeat so many Wu Cui Party members, right?"

"It's not us... I'm not that confident, it's you..." Tom corrected.

Two people against a bunch of witches? Don't drag me into this! I don't want to die!

"Tom, fortune and honor are achieved through risk... How can you become strong if you are such a coward all day long?" Li Weide said as he took out several spherical objects from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Dung bombs? Do you want to defeat the Witch Party with dung bombs?" Tom was stunned.

The dung bomb is a prank prop that is hated by the castle manager, even if the current manager is not a squib.

Because once this kind of thing is smashed open, the smell of manure inside will remain there for a long time...

"Tom, don't forget that I am now Professor Slughorn's favorite student. Do you think there is any way for me to get some powerful drug formulas from him?"

Tom suddenly realized, "That's right... We still often go to the Forbidden Forest in the name of confinement, and we also send him some materials from the Forbidden Forest from time to time... We just need to say that we plan to use these drugs to knock down those powerful magical animals, and then get materials from them..."

He looked up at Levitra, and then continued, "Although Professor Slughorn would definitely not agree if someone else told him this, but if it were you... he would definitely give you the formula. Then we just need to make the drug into something like a dung bomb... If it is operated properly, we can naturally knock down all the witches..."

Li Weide smiled and said, "Your method is really good. Even I couldn't think of it."

"Um...what are you going to do if Professor Slughorn disagrees?" Tom asked.

"It's okay. In fact, I have the formula for a powerful drug." Li Weide said confidently.

What powerful drug recipe is not included in the potion book rewarded by the system?
"Then why are you asking Professor Slughorn?" Tom asked puzzledly.

He didn't doubt at all that Levi had the potion formula. After all, there was a "big family" behind him. He just wondered why Levi would go to such great lengths.

"I went to Professor Slughorn just to ask him to be a witness for me... I just need to let him know that I want to use drugs... Your excuse is actually very good. Even if Professor Slughorn disagrees, he knows that I have the idea of using drugs to deal with magical creatures. In this way, these 'drug-filled dung bombs' in our hands have a reason to exist."

Tom suddenly realized again, "Yes... Otherwise, even if we catch those witches, it will be difficult to explain why we happen to have so many 'dung bombs'! The motive is not easy to explain. As long as we find Professor Slughorn, we will have the motive."

Suddenly, Tom asked in surprise, "Wait... Could it be that when you applied to Professor Slughorn to be detained in the Forbidden Forest, you already had this plan? But... at that time we didn't know the existence of that kind of magical power!"

"That's right... So, the 'bait' I planned at that time was something else." Li Weide smiled.

"So...what were you going to use as bait?" Tom asked with a frown.

"Wasn't Grindelwald very interested in the two of us before?" Levid asked back.

"Yes...hiss...you want to be the bait yourself?" Tom asked in shock.

"Tom... do I look like such a selfless person?" Li Weide asked again meaningfully.

"If it's not you...wait...you're not planning on using me as bait!"

"Hehehehe...of course it's you, could it be me?"

"You bastard! I…"

"What, you're not convinced?"

"...You know me. I always obey you...Um, put your wand down first, don't be impulsive..."

　The more I write, the worse I feel about my writing. What should I do? Does anyone really like to read it?
