Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 12: When you go out, you give your identity to yourself!

Li Wei and Tom hid in a dark corner, observing a small detached house not far ahead that looked very nice. There was even a nice little garden in front of the house.

It can be said that people who live here are definitely not short of money.

But according to confessions, the other trapped children were locked inside.

Tom wrapped his old jacket around himself, "I still don't understand why we have to postpone going to Diagon Alley just for the money!"

"I've already told you this isn't about money." Li Weide said unhappily.

He did this to earn merit points by doing good deeds, and robbing others of their own money was just a side effect... Of course, there was no way to explain this to Tom.

"If you're not doing this for the money, then what are you doing this for? Are you really doing this to save people? I can't believe you have such a kind heart."

"Tom, I've been hard on you, but I've always been kind to everybody else."

Tom shut up. It seemed like the bastard was right...

It's just that Li Wei De has always bullied only himself, so he has the illusion that Li Wei De has never been a good person.

In fact, in the eyes of others, Li Weide, who taught the bully a lesson, is really a good person!

"Forget it, let me tell you the truth. What you said is not entirely wrong. Besides saving people, part of my motivation was indeed for money." Li Weide turned and looked at Tom.

"The money Dumbledore gave us is definitely not enough. It should just be enough for us to use."

"This means that we have to buy many things second-hand, and there are many things we cannot afford."

"Are you really willing to use second-hand textbooks left by others, wear second-hand robes that others no longer want, and use second-hand wands that others have worn out? Well, these are not the most important things."

"The important thing is... Dumbledore said that we can only use second-hand textbooks. What does this prove? It proves that spell books must be expensive in the wizarding world..."

"We need knowledge, knowledge beyond textbooks, Tom! Don't you want to become stronger?"

Tom's heart beat fast at the last two words.

Admittedly, he could still tolerate the poor quality of life. After all, he had been living like that in the orphanage for so many years.

However, when it comes to the growth of his own strength, he can't compromise!
"Also, although we don't know the situation at Hogwarts, one thing is certain: that school is full of people with special abilities like us."

"That is to say, we are not the most special among them. If we still look poor...what do you think will happen?"

Tom asked, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard this.

Putting himself in their shoes, as a veteran bully, he understands the mentality of such people better than anyone else.

Tom doesn't care at all about being isolated by ordinary people. You can't bully me anyway.

But, it's a magic school!

The power he possesses, others also possess it!
Tom is not afraid of being bullied by ordinary people, but other little wizards...

At this time, after some PUA from Li Weide, Tom, who had a serious lack of understanding of his own strength, actually began to worry.

In fact, he was really worried that other students were as good as Li Weide.

"When you go out, you give yourself an identity. So, we need money first." Li Weide continued to increase his efforts. "But... Dumbledore said that we can't use magic on ordinary people..."

Tom was still a little hesitant, but there was nothing he could do. Under the double blow from Levitra and Dumbledore, Tom had become much more cautious and not as confident as before.

Li Weide raised a finger and said, "First, they are planning to kidnap us, right?"

Tom nodded.

"So, I say we were acting in self-defense. Do you agree or not?"

Tom nodded again.

Li Weide then held up his second finger and said, "Secondly, we heard from those people that there are other children trapped, right?"

Tom nodded again. "So we are saving lives. It has nothing to do with money or anything like that!"

Li Weide said with relief: "You have learned how to answer quickly now."

"You're right, Wade. Besides, since we have the ability, why should we live a miserable life?" Tom's eyes became firm.

Li Weide patted Tom on the shoulder and said happily: "You have even learned to draw inferences from one example!"

A hint of red light flashed in Tom's eyes. "Based on Dumbledore's behavior, he should be a good man. So, even if he knew what we did, based on the two points mentioned above, he would not blame us. At most, he would only blame us for taking too much risk!"

Li Weide went on to say, "But we have to take risks, because those human traffickers even have black police as cover, so calling the police will be completely ineffective, so..."

"So... we have no choice but to come here ourselves." Tom nodded. "The reasons are sufficient, so let's save people first. As long as we save people, even if the Ministry of Magic that Dumbledore mentioned finds out, we will have something to say."

"And... these bastards actually planned to capture me and sell me for money? They must pay the price!" Tom's eyes flashed dangerously again.

In fact, Tom is a very vengeful person. He can't afford to offend Levitra who provokes him, so can he not offend these ordinary Muggles?
"What are you going to do?" Tom asked.

"In fact, I first have to find a way to figure out how many people are inside and whether they have weapons like guns." Li Weide said seriously.

Even though he knew magic now, he was still very afraid of the deadly Muggle weapons - guns, and it was impossible for him to just barge in.

After all, he had only been formally learning magic for more than a week, and he was not a powerful wizard like Dumbledore, so he did not have many methods to use.

"Tom...can't you control snakes?" Li Weide asked with a smile.

Tom's face turned red. He had indeed used a snake to try to find out the secret of Levi's strength.

"I understand..." As he said that, Tom retreated to the corner, then squatted down, making a "hissing" sound from his mouth.

Tom is a Parseltongue, and can not only talk to snakes, but also command them.

In other words, many things that are inconvenient for humans to do can be done by snakes.

After a while, Li Weide discovered that green grass snakes kept poking their heads out of the cracks in the corners of the wall, and among them there were many poisonous snakes with extremely venom!
The densely packed snake heads made people's hair stand on end. However, Tom seemed to be accustomed to this kind of scene.

"Hiss..."

Tom lowered his head and said something to one of the little snakes on the ground. Then the little snake turned its head, turned several turns, and disappeared into the shadows.
