Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 70 I, Tom, will never let my friends take the blame for me!

"He fought one against eight people and still held his own. He is worthy of being my favorite."

As Levid passed by Tom, his left hand easily passed through the armor spell around Tom and patted his shoulder hard.

"Why are you here?" Tom asked sternly.

"Well... I just happened to walk over here, and I felt that your magic power was fluctuating very violently, so I couldn't help but come over to take a look... Oh, this fuchsia is well used."

As Li Weide spoke, he looked at the unfortunate people lying in all directions with interest.

"Where's Annie?" Tom noticed that Li Weide came alone and couldn't help asking.

It was obvious that there was something wrong with Anne, and her target seemed to be Li Weide, and Tom certainly saw that.

That's why he was very curious why Annie didn't follow him.

"Well... when we were passing a certain staircase, it happened to move, and she happened not to follow, so we separated temporarily." Li Weide said casually.

Tom knew Levi's abilities very well, so it was very likely that Annie was quietly dumped by him on the road.

Sure enough, all the slight worries that had arisen before were unnecessary. This guy has been causing trouble for thousands of years, how could he fall so easily?
"You two, do you think we are nothing?" the senior student said coldly.

He had been tolerating the two bastards for a long time, if he hadn't seen Levid use an armor spell at will, which made him a little afraid.

He had already thrown several evil curses at me.

"Who are you?" Li Weide asked.

"Andrei Shafik," the senior student answered proudly.

"So you're from the Shafik family..." Li Weide nodded, then smiled and said, "You can stand to the end in the fight with Tom, which proves that you are really good. How about it? Do you want to join me?"

Tom looked at Li Weide in surprise and said, "I thought you were here to save me, but I didn't expect that you were here to recruit younger brothers?"
Andre sneered at Li Weide, "Just you?"

"Yes, just me."

Andre's smile froze instantly because he found that the voice this time came from behind him!

And Li Weide, who was in front of him just now, had stood behind him without him knowing when!
At this moment, he finally understood why Abraxas, a third-year student, had to ask for help from fifth-year students to deal with a freshman! There was something wrong with this guy!

Andre turned around without hesitation and cast a stunning spell.

"bump!"

The sound of the spell hitting the human body was heard.

But Andre's pupils suddenly contracted.

Because it was only then that he realized that the person standing behind him was not Li Weide, but the first-year student who had been standing behind him before.

At this time, the unlucky guy had been knocked unconscious by his stunning spell.

And Li Weide... was still standing beside Tom! It was as if everything he had just seen was an illusion!

"This...how is this possible? What on earth did you do?" Andre stared at Li Weide, his eyes full of fear.

Since the other party can directly affect his senses, that is to say, he can knock himself down at any time, or even... control himself to do things that he would never do normally!
Andre was terrified when he thought about it. At this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression from Li Weide!

Tom was also shocked as he watched this scene.

Even though he had seen it more than once, he could still feel the horror of Levid's nameless magic!
Li Weide didn't even move, but Andre fell into an illusion! This ability is really unsolvable!
From this, Tom became even more certain that Li Wei De had never taken his clumsy plots seriously in the past!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be standing here healthy today...

At this time, on the other side, just when Andre couldn't stand the pressure anymore and wanted to give in.

"Merlin! What on earth is going on here?"

On the other side of the corridor, young Professor McGonagall hurried over.

Tom turned pale when he saw the professor coming.

When Dumbledore talked to him in the orphanage, he told him that he was not allowed to use magic to attack others at will.

From that time on, Dumbledore paid close attention to him, fearing that he would make mistakes again and abuse the magic he had learned...

Although there were reasons for what happened today, it was also a fact that he knocked down his classmate on the first day of school.

Tom was not afraid of being punished. What he feared most was that Dumbledore would keep a closer eye on him!
If Dumbledore changes his mind and insists on finding him a guardian, that would be terrible...

Of course, what Tom feared most was that Dumbledore would expel him from Hogwarts because of this!
At this time, Tom actually didn't know Dumbledore very well. He only knew that he was very strict with him, so the more he thought about it, the more scared he became.

"You two have really grown in ability! You're already fighting each other on the first day of school! And you're fighting with classmates from the same academy! Since you're so energetic, you should all go to detention! For a month! It just so happens that Mr. Ogg always complains about being short-handed when patrolling the Forbidden Forest recently!"

Professor McGonagall never tolerates any sand in her eyes, let alone this kind of student fight... The most important thing is that these students are all Slytherin! She has no reason to show mercy!
The other students who had just been rescued were all horrified when they heard that they were going to be put in solitary confinement in the Forbidden Forest.

Slytherin students all have a sense of being a gentleman who does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Therefore, they always stay away from the Forbidden Forest, which is said to be filled with dark creatures at night. They are not Gryffindors!

Therefore, when they heard that they might be thrown into a dangerous place like the Forbidden Forest for a whole month, they all remained silent.

However, Li Weide's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Of course he had been to the Forbidden Forest and had a keen interest in it.

Unfortunately, he was not familiar with the routes in the Forbidden Forest, nor did he know what kind of potion materials were in which place. Of course, he did not know which area had what kind of magical animals...

And now, if they were put in solitary confinement, that is to say, there would be a professional leading this group of people to tour the interior of the forbidden forest.

By then, he will be able to learn as much important information about the Forbidden Forest as possible from Mr. Oger!

Therefore, he really had to be put in confinement!
However... he seems to have just arrived, and he didn't do anything, so he might not be punished, then...

Li Weide turned to look at Tom, only to see that his face was pale and his eyes were panic-stricken... Li Weide knew Tom's past very well, so after thinking about it carefully, he understood what Tom was afraid of.

While Professor McGonagall was sternly questioning Andre about what happened, Li Weide quickly whispered to Tom, "I know what you are thinking. Otherwise, just put the blame on me! Just pretend that I beat them all!"

Tom looked at Li Weide in shock. "How can this be possible? It was me who injured them... Besides, they are not dumb. I am afraid they will tell the professor soon. How can the professor not know that it was all my fault?"

"Don't worry, I have a way to make them say what I want them to say." Li Weide said lightly.

Tom immediately thought of Levi's magical magic that seemed to cause hallucinations.

It seems...he can really do this!
Tom hurriedly said again anxiously: "If that's the case, why can't we just put the blame on them? Just say we just got here, right?"

"Their purpose of coming here is to deal with someone, that's for sure... Oh, don't worry about that, just put the blame on me."

Levitra was halfway through explaining his desire to enter the Forbidden Forest, but he was too lazy to explain to Tom. Tom was too smart and it was becoming increasingly difficult to fool him. No matter how he made up a reason, it seemed to have loopholes, so Levitra simply didn't want to make any more excuses.

But when Tom heard this half-explanation, he suddenly understood.

At this moment, Tom felt that Levid's magic might not be perfect enough.

The objective fact that the other party is here to deal with someone may not change much.

We can only let them change their perception of this goal from themselves to him...

So, Li Weide is planning to take the blame for himself!

"You...why are you doing this?" Tom said in a deep voice: "This obviously has nothing to do with you!"

"Why so many whys?" Li Weide said impatiently. "Just say what I tell you to say, or don't blame me for doing something to you later!"

Tom was silent.

It turned out that all his previous guesses were true!
This guy Li Weide...actually considered himself a friend!
Otherwise, why would he take the blame for himself without hesitation after guessing what he was worried about?
Sure enough, all my previous bad guesses were just judging others by my own standards!

Thinking back to how he almost defeated the seven or eight people on the opposite side just now, he used almost all the skills and magic that Levid taught him!

Tom felt confused. If Li Wei De was really hypocritical and treated him very badly, how could he learn so many useful things from Li Wei De?
Li Weide suddenly asked again: "By the way, you didn't do anything ruthless just now, did you?"

"No." Tom shook his head.

Li Weide said: "That's good... At least, I don't have to worry about being fired."

Tom:?!

Tom's mood became more complicated.

……

Just when Tom was in a state of confusion, Andre also confessed.

Because they were originally here to block Li Weide and Tom, but because Li Weide was not there, they only blocked Tom...

Therefore, it is not as difficult as Li Weide imagined to change some of these guys' cognition.

It just made them have the wrong impression that Levi was there from the beginning, and that they were all defeated by Levi, not by Tom!

Of course, nightmare magic was not as imperfect as Tom thought. It was just that Levitra wanted to be put in solitary confinement in the Forbidden Forest, so he did not completely change his perception.

Otherwise, this matter would have turned into a fight between Andre and the others...

Professor McGonagall tried several times before she finally let Abraxas down from the air. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes. She had never seen such a spell before.

Professor McGonagall walked towards Levitra and Tom. She glanced at Tom and then stared at Levitra.

"I already know almost everything that happened, but no matter what, you have violated school rules, fought in private, and cast spells in the corridor... I have to punish you!"

Professor McGonagall turned around and glanced at the students behind her with pale faces. "Because the nine of you made mistakes, Slytherin will be deducted 180 points! And you will also be given a month's detention! When you receive the notice, report to Mr. Ogg at the time of the notice!"

This punishment was quite severe. Not only did they have to be put in solitary confinement in the Forbidden Forest, but each person also had twenty points deducted from their score!
It's only the first day of school. No doubt many Slytherin students will feel devastated when they see the scoring gems after class...

Tom, who was listening nearby, was deducted 180 points, which means... as the culprit of this incident, he did not receive any punishment?
In other words, Li Weide did change the other party's perception, making him think that it was Li Weide who did it, not him, Tom!

"Okay, everyone come with me. I have to take you to see your headmaster, Professor Slughorn, and tell him about this!" said Professor McGonagall.

Tom took a step forward, "Professor, I..."

"As far as I know, this matter has nothing to do with you, Mr. Riddle." Professor McGonagall frowned.

"I don't think you should punish Wade for this." Tom took a deep breath and said, "You can't let Wade choose to endure these people's unprovoked attacks instead of fighting back! Strictly speaking, this is bullying! And we are the victims! If you insist on punishing the victims, then count me in too. Just now, I... Anyway, if you had come a little later, I would have already taken action!"

Upon hearing this, Professor McGonagall began to ponder.

Li Weide immediately turned around and glared at Tom, "Tom, what are you doing?!"

Li Weide felt very nervous. He was about to succeed, but Tom came out and said nonsense! Something unexpected happened! What if Professor McGonagall was persuaded and didn't let him be detained?
Sure enough, after Professor McGonagall pondered for a while, her tone became much softer, "Well, in that case, whether he should be put in detention is left to your dean to decide, but..."

Professor McGonagall's tone became stern again, "He did take action, so points will still be deducted!"

A few minutes later.

The group followed Professor McGonagall dejectedly towards Professor Slughorn's office.

Li Weide and Tom followed at the end of the team.

"Tom, what are you doing? Didn't we agree on this? Why are you saying so much? Now you're causing trouble!" Li Weide said angrily.

Tom just walked by in silence.

Anyway, he would never admit that he couldn't just sit back and watch this guy get locked up for him!
Of course, it is definitely not some boring emotion like feeling guilty because a friend took the blame for me!
