Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 217 Why don't you transfer to Gryffindor?

"Okay, okay..." Tom handed the experimental manuscript back to Li Weide with a pale face.

After all, Tom is still young and can't bear to see such bloody things.

Levitra didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and even felt that the Slytherin's knife-cutting technique in the illustration needed to be improved.

After all, he used to study biological sciences, and work like anatomy was basic skills.

"Let's go, it's time for us to leave." Li Weide said after putting the books and manuscripts back in their original places.

"You don't have anything?" Tom asked in surprise.

"I've memorized everything, so you don't need to bring it... Oh, don't forget the remains of Nocto Gaunt. You must bring it with you. We need to find a good place to bury it."

Tom:…

After this hard trip tonight, although Levitra said that he didn't need Slytherin's inheritance, he still gained the most...

Tom himself nearly lost his life, but gained almost nothing except some insights.

He didn't even find some of the rewards that Nocto Gaunt was supposed to have on him.

Obviously, after Nocto Gaunt, someone else came, and the reward on her should have been taken away by that group of people.

However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, Levitra did not take all the Slytherin inheritance for himself as he had imagined.

It's just that he doesn't want to accept those things anymore.

Otherwise, even if he took a few spell books now, Levid would not stop him.

After observing the door in front of him, Li Weide reached out and pressed the snake pattern on it.

Then, the wall in front began to rotate, revealing a small compartment at the back.

Tom didn't think any more and followed Li Weide in.

As they walked into the compartment together, the compartment started to rotate again, and the wall just rotated out again, but Li Weide and Tom were turned in.

As the cubicle stopped rotating, Li Wei De felt that the cubicle suddenly began to move upwards! Just like the elevator in the Muggle world.

"Crash!"

After the cubicle stopped rising, the door in front of it opened.

Li Weide and Tom hurried out.

Then, they saw a familiar corridor and the familiar door to the Slytherin common room opposite!
Li Weide turned around in surprise and saw a very small snake carving on the wall that was closed again behind him.

When Li Weide turned it again, he felt as if something scanned his body, and the next second, the closed wall opened again!

"I see. It seems that only those who have passed the trial path can open the door of the study from here." Livid turned to Tom and said, "If you want to find a good place to learn the dark arts in the future, you can go directly to Slytherin's study."

Tom shook his head. "I don't want to go near this place again... and after telling Dumbledore, we may not be able to come to this place quietly anymore."

"Okay, let's go find Dumbledore now," said Levitra.

"Ved, have you forgotten something?"

"what?"

"We seem to be on a night tour now... How can we explain the whole process of encountering the entrance to the trial? If there is no suitable excuse, how many points do you think each of us will be deducted? You know, the Slytherin gem has just started to return to zero from negative numbers..."

"Tom, this is very simple! Aren't you a descendant of Slytherin? Just say that you felt the call from your ancestors when you were sleeping! And then..."

"Ah! This excuse is too old-fashioned! And it's disgusting! I would rather tell the truth to Dumbledore directly! With Dumbledore's character, maybe after deducting our points, he can add them back! You know, we discovered Slytherin's legacy and pointed out the crisis in the school!" Tom decisively rejected the lame excuse that Levitra came up with.

Being summoned by an ancestor, Tom just felt a little uncomfortable now. Besides, that was Dumbledore! He hadn't mastered the art of occlumency yet. He only needed to look at him to know if he was lying, so he might as well be honest.

"Are you sure?" Li Weide said, "What if points are deducted..."

"For Dumbledore, sincerity is always the key to success! Isn't that what you said?" said Tom.

Li Weide said with satisfaction: "That's right, Tom. It seems that you have indeed learned a lot of excellent qualities from me!"

Tom sneered, "Like learning to travel at night, secretly studying the dark arts, growing dangerous magical plants, etc."

"It's that other quality! Tom! I have many other excellent qualities! For example, wisdom and so on!"

……

The fire in the fireplace crackled slightly. Dumbledore, wrapped in a purple nightgown and a woman's nightcap, was frowning at the two little kids who were still awake in the middle of the night.

He also listened to the story roughly. To be honest, Dumbledore had never seen such a restless Slytherin student before...

"So... you guys were awake late at night because you accidentally discovered the trials left by Slytherin. After going through a trial that nearly cost you your life, you finally discovered Slytherin's study room filled with a huge amount of dark magic manuscripts?"

Li Weide and Tom nodded repeatedly.

"Moreover, you also brought out the bones of a Gaunt who died in the trial... in a bag?"

Li Weide and Tom continued to nod.

"At the same time, you also discovered that Slytherin seemed to have left a mysterious creature in the school. This creature may threaten the safety of students in the future?"

Li Weide and Tom felt tired of nodding at this moment...

"Do you... know how many school rules you have violated?" Dumbledore asked unhappily.

Tom's face turned pale and he kept his mouth tightly shut because he knew he shouldn't make any sound at this moment.

But... Li Weide next to him actually started counting with his fingers.

"Vader? What are you counting?" Dumbledore asked.

"We have violated ten school rules in total, professor..." Li Weide put down his hands and said honestly.

Dumbledore almost laughed out of anger, "It seems that you are more familiar with school rules than me, the vice-headmaster!"

Tom suddenly said, "Weid once told me that only after fully understanding the school rules can we better break them."

Li Weide stared at Tom with wide eyes: "Professor, he is slandering me! He is slandering me! I clearly said that only by fully understanding the school rules can we better abide by them!"

Dumbledore sighed deeply, "Why not... you should be transferred to Gryffindor. Slytherin's points are not enough for you to lose... How dare you rashly enter a place you don't know anything about?! Do you know that this might cost you your life?"

"Professor... we can't do anything. The door was locked right after we entered..." Tom said aggrievedly. "Besides, he's already gone in, so I can't just stay outside..."

"Fortunately, he followed in, otherwise I would never have been able to pass the last level. This dead Gunter is a lesson for me," said Li Weide.

"Tom can come to me in time! You are different from her, you have the professor to help you! In this way, maybe you won't have to go through that thrilling trial." Dumbledore said seriously.

Li Weide and Tom both wisely kept their mouths shut.

"Okay... I'll take you to see the headmaster first. In any case, Slytherin's heritage is of extremely important value. We have to discuss your punishment before we can come to a conclusion... If you're lucky, maybe Headmaster Dippet will give you extra points. When you get to the headmaster's office, tell us in detail what happened tonight."

Dumbledore passed his wand over his body, and his nightgown turned into an ordinary wizard robe.

"Let's go. It's better not to let Grindelwald know about this..." Dumbledore said, took off his nightcap, and opened the office door.

Then they saw Grindelwald standing outside the office door with a smile on his face.

"Good evening, Albus... Oh? I didn't expect that besides me, there were two other children who couldn't sleep?"

Dumbledore frowned. This was the situation he least wanted to see!
"when did you come?"

"When I heard you say it's best not to let me know." Grindelwald smiled and said, "What little secret is it that you don't want me to know?"

Dumbledore's door was completely soundproofed by magic, but when he opened the door just now, the magic failed, so Grindelwald happened to hear the second half of Dumbledore's sentence.

"Since I told you not to know, why are you asking?" said Dumbledore.

"If we are just friends, you can of course keep secrets from me, but... I am a senior investigator sent by the Ministry of Magic. I have the right to know everything about Hogwarts, so..." Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore with a provocative look.

"We were caught by Professor Dumbledore while we were out at night." Before Dumbledore could answer, Tom said, "Now, he is planning to take us to see Headmaster Dippet."

"Oh? Really?" Grindelwald looked at Tom with a smile, "If it was just a night stroll, Dumbledore would be able to deal with you. Why would we have to go to the headmaster? Moreover, since it is such a small matter, why do you have to emphasize it and hide it from me?"

Tom was speechless for a moment and looked away quickly to avoid looking directly at Grindelwald.

Li Weide suddenly said in a very helpless tone: "This is all because of you... Because you have been too close to us during this period, so when the professor caught us wandering at night, he thought we were doing things for you."

Tom breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Dumbledore quickly reacted.

He stood in front of the two children, looked directly into Grindelwald's eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Since you must know, then I will tell you! Even if you have a legitimate name now, you and I both know what kind of person you are. Therefore, I don't want the best students of Hogwarts to be influenced by you! I am planning to advise these two children to stay away from you together with Principal Dippet! Then check whether they have any dark magic you secretly cast on them!"

"This is a very serious accusation, Dumbledore!" Grindelwald frowned.

"You asked me to say this, Grindelwald. If you hadn't insisted, we could have saved some face for each other, right?" Dumbledore stared at Grindelwald, refusing to give in.
