The Dark Lord's Guide to Employment at Hogwarts

Chapter 356 What do you mean Tom is lost? Explain to me, what do you mean Tom is lost!

Dumbledore looked at the office door that closed again, and heard the strange shouting of the lantern outside the door.

He slowly sat back in his chair, newspaper in hand.

Something is wrong... something is extremely wrong!

From the beginning, although everything was very normal, as if just one student had some psychological problems... but Dumbledore felt more and more that there was an unspeakable sense of disharmony!

"Levi...Levi...Livid?" Dumbledore murmured the name, feeling more and more familiar...

……

Slytherin common room.

"equality."

The stone door was opened.

Tom came in silently.

He looked back at the stone door that had been closed again, feeling extremely complicated.

In the past, Slytherin's password has always been pure-blood, or pure-blood honor and other words related to pure-blood wizards.

But after Levitra founded a mutual aid society and subdued all the pure-blood wizards in the school, the password to the Slytherin common room changed...

However, today, when Tom asked others about this matter, everyone looked at him in surprise and told him that it was he who led the mutual aid society to defeat all the pure-blood wizards in the school...

"Bullshit... I didn't have this courage when I was in the first grade." Tom snorted coldly and strode towards the dormitory.

"Tom? Are you okay?" Annie's voice came from the side.

Tom turned around and saw many members of the mutual aid society sitting in front of the fireplace. Everyone looked at him with worry in their eyes.

There's no way. Tom has been running around today, asking everyone so many weird questions, and has already attracted other people's attention.

Tom looked at Elena...

Elena was brought back by Li Weide from the Soviet Union... He also went to ask today... The result was not beyond his expectations.

She didn't know who Li Weide was, and it wasn't Li Weide who took her out of the Soviet Union, but herself...

When Tom thought of this, he felt very depressed... He had never even been to the Soviet Union!

"I'm fine... I just went to see Professor Dumbledore. I was just browsing a second-hand book and got caught in a harmless little curse... It's been broken now." Tom made up an excuse.

He no longer wanted to talk about what happened during the day with these people because it was useless.

Unless he wants to be treated as a lunatic by these people forever...

Seeing these people's curious faces, Tom quickly said, "I'm sorry, I just lifted the curse and I'm a little tired. I have to go rest first."

"Okay, then you should have a good rest...we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything." Annie said.

Although Tom's reason was a bit far-fetched, it was reasonable.

It is normal for books in the wizarding world, especially second-hand books of unknown origin, to carry some strange curses.

Tom didn't actually lie completely. He was indeed very sleepy. After returning to the dormitory, he tidied up a little and lay down directly.

Tom lay on his side in bed, staring intently at the empty bed opposite him.

The image of that bastard lying there reading Muggle novels day and night seemed to still be before my eyes...

"Shit... this bastard..."

Filled with resentment, Tom gradually fell asleep...

When Henry and Alphard came back, they saw him sleeping soundly. Although they were curious, they did not wake him up.

late at night.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Tom's eyes flew open, and he took up his wand and tapped each of his eyelids.

The next second, the pitch-black environment suddenly became bright in his vision...

Tom stood up quietly and looked out the window.

Outside the window, the green bottom of the black lake reflected the moonlight falling on Tom's face, making his pale complexion appear a dismal green...

Tom picked up the backpack he had prepared long ago, and gently swept the wand in his hand in front of him, and his figure slowly disappeared into the air.

A few seconds later, the dormitory door opened by itself, and then quietly closed...

Time passed by minute by minute.

The sky gradually brightened...

The bottom of the Black Lake also welcomed the first ray of morning light.

The morning light filtered through the Black Lake, bringing shimmering light onto the bedside table and onto the newspaper from September 1st...

Suddenly, it was as if the void was distorted.

The picture of the Ministry official in the newspaper slowly faded away...

Instead, there was the resolute figure of Li Weide facing a hundred dark wizards alone...

……

The fire in the fireplace was still warm.

Dumbledore stood before the fireplace, clutching the September 1st newspaper tightly in his hand.

"What went wrong?" Dumbledore murmured.

At this moment, the first rays of morning light shine through the window...

Dumbledore sighed. Before he knew it, the weather had turned cold.

He sat back in his chair tiredly and rubbed his eyes with his left hand.

He still planned to take some time to have a good talk with Tom today, as this matter seemed very complicated.

"Li Weide..."

When he thought of the name again, Dumbledore suddenly felt that his memory seemed to have changed...

It seems like the memory of last night is fading quickly!

"Huh? No!"

Memories change like the tide!

But Dumbledore was faster. His Occlumency technique started working quickly as soon as he thought about it!

Those memories that were changed and disappeared were successfully retained!

At the same time... new memories resurfaced in his mind!

Dumbledore's eyes widened in shock and he jerked up the newspaper in his hand.

In the front-page photo of the newspaper, Li Weide’s back instantly caught the eye!

Dumbledore stood up suddenly.

"not good!"

……

"Hiss..." Li Weide sat up from the flying carpet and wrapped himself in the blanket. "Speaking of which, it's so cold. Is it really okay for us to camp in the sky? It's too cold!"

Slytherin was still sitting at the front of the flying carpet. Upon hearing this, he picked up a lighter and lit a stick of incense with a "ding" sound.

He took a deep breath and said with a comfortable look on his face, "How would I know if I'm cold? I'm a ghost, I don't feel cold... Besides, you're a wizard! I've never seen a wizard afraid of the cold! Don't tell me you don't know any of those simple little warming spells..."

"Shit... I really don't know how to refute what you said..." Li Weide was speechless.

He had fallen asleep while reading last night, so he really hadn't remembered to cast a little spell or two on himself to keep warm.

"Okay, stop complaining. I made you some breakfast. Let's get on our way after we finish eating." Slytherin waved his wand lightly.

There was a lot of food on the simple dining table next to it.

In addition to a large pot of hot milk, there are also steaming bread, various styles of cakes, perfectly fried bacon, etc.

Livid stared at Slytherin with wide eyes in shock.

"You actually made breakfast for me?"

"I'm a person who distinguishes gratitude from resentment... Ghost. I really like the incense you made yesterday, so this is a thank you gift." Slytherin took another sip of the incense, and then continued: "Anyway, it's just a matter of waving the wand... Try it, this is the recipe Helga gave me, and no one has been able to taste it until now."

"Then I have to try it!" Li Weide walked over curiously and sat at the simple dining table.

"Haha... enjoy it, this is the taste from a thousand years ago!" Slytherin said proudly.

Li Weide happily picked up a piece of cake and took a bite.

Crispy and sweet...

Hiss! Don’t tell me! Don’t tell me!

When Li Wei De picked up a piece of bacon with his fork...

"puff!"

A huge fiery red bird instantly appeared on the dining table...

Li Weide was surprised, "Fox? Why are you here?"

Phoenix Fox tossed the letter in his mouth to Li Weide and snatched the bacon from his fork in one bite...

Levid didn't care about the food being stolen. The fact that Fawkes was asked to deliver the letter meant that something very urgent must have happened on Dumbledore's side.

He quickly opened the letter and read through it at a glance.

"Hiss...broken..." Li Weide frowned, "What do you mean Tom is lost?"

"What's going on? What happened again? What happened to Tom?" Slytherin floated over and looked at Fawkes. "Hmm...it's actually a phoenix..."

"There is bad news, but I hope you can remain calm when you hear it." Li Weide frowned.

"Stop wasting time and speak quickly!"

"Your great-grandson is lost."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Slytherin looked at Levid in confusion. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he threw the incense burner in his hand aside, grabbed Levid's shoulders and shook him back and forth.

"What did you say? What do you mean my great-grandson is lost?"

"It's Tom who's lost..."

"Of course I know Tom is missing! I'm asking you what happened!"

"I don't know either... maybe something unexpected happened to the magic I left at Hogwarts..." Levid handed the letter in his hand to Slytherin.

While Slytherin was reading the letter, Levid was also quickly thinking about the reason.

"Didn't you say that your magic was foolproof? How could this go wrong? If anything happens to Tom, I will never forgive you!" Slytherin said angrily.

"The nightmare magic I left behind at Hogwarts will only slightly stimulate people's subconscious, making them feel that I am always by their side... Logically, it won't cause any harm." Li Weide tried his best to remain calm...

"Don't worry about your ancient magic! Now go and find Tom!" Slytherin said excitedly.

"Of course! Even if you didn't tell me, I would have found him!"

Li Weide sat back at his desk, took out a blank piece of parchment and began to write and draw quickly.

"Dumbledore said he might come out to look for you! All you have to do is send him a letter, right?" Slytherin said anxiously.

"You're just too worried..." Levander's eyes were calm, his mind clearer than ever. "If writing a letter could get him back, Dumbledore wouldn't have sent the letter to me..."

As Li Weide spoke, the parchment in front of him was quickly filled with runes of various magical traces...

"Why can't I send a letter?"

"According to what Professor Dumbledore said in the letter...any letter any of us sends to Tom will change the moment he opens and reads it! Anyone who gets close to him...will also have their memories and senses unconsciously altered..."

Li Weide frowned and said, "This is indeed the characteristic of nightmare magic, but... if it is just nightmare magic. What I don't understand is... why even Dumbledore can be affected! My nightmare magic can't be so powerful! Unless... something changed in Tom that I don't know about..."

If he guessed correctly, Tom was now like a mobile hotspot... Anyone who approached him would automatically connect to this hotspot that had forgotten who Li Weide was...
