Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

#65 - Tom: I don’t know them well! Really! Believe me!

“The Black family? Li Er?”

As the current head of the Black family, Palex Black has some knowledge.

Although he hadn't heard of who Li Er was, he vaguely remembered that in that ancient eastern country, there were indeed many pure-blood families with the surname Li, and their heritage was frighteningly long.

In addition, he knew Aberforth, although Palex had some grudges with him, he also knew that he was Dumbledore's brother.

Aberforth usually only left his broken pub when carrying out Dumbledore's commissions.

Which meant that these two children personally picked up and dropped off by Aberforth must be Dumbledore's intention…

Now, as Dumbledore's reputation grew, even these pure-blood families, who were arrogant and conceited, dared not underestimate him more and more.

Therefore, when Palex thought that these two children could actually make Dumbledore send his brother to pick them up and drop them off in person, he already believed 90% of what Li Weide said.

However, although he knew that he was in the wrong, as a pure-blood family, even if he was afraid of the family behind Li Weide, he couldn't just admit his mistake!

His wife and children were watching!

“Humph… Since that’s the case, I look forward to meeting your family's adults.” Palex said in an arrogant tone.

However, since he said that, it meant that he now believed Li Weide's words.

After he said this, in theory, he could just leave gracefully.

But unexpectedly…

Li Weide said with some excitement: “Really? Then let's make an appointment. I just happen to have an uncle who recently came to visit me, and I heard that he is not in a good mood… Perhaps, sparring with the pure-blood wizards of England would make him feel better.”

Palex's face suddenly turned pale.

Although his dueling ability was not bad, when he thought of the other party's thousands of years of family heritage, and also a guy who would be happy to fight, he must be the kind of guy who was proficient in duels…

Palex couldn't help but feel a little timid.

My children are still young, and my wife is still young…

Moreover, how could an elegant and noble pure-blood wizard fight and kill like a reckless man?!

“Hehe, it's a pity, I don't have much time recently, I have a lot of things waiting to be dealt with, consider your uncle lucky, otherwise… hum hum…”

After Palex finished speaking his words to save face, fearing that Li Weide would say anything else, he hurriedly pulled his daughter towards the wall.

When the girl was pulled away, she still glared at Li Weide fiercely, her eyes full of unwillingness.

Li Weide didn't care about this at all, and even the look in his eyes when he looked back at her was filled with a trace of condescending pity.

It was as if he was pitying her for being born into such a “humble” family…

As Li Weide expected, his pitying eyes almost made the girl explode with anger.

However, before she could speak, she was pulled into Platform 9 3/4 by her father.

“Dad! You don’t really believe what that guy said, do you?” The girl said angrily as soon as she walked into the platform.

“Walburga, do you think a Mudblood would have such confidence?” Palex said unhappily.

That kid looked more like a pure-blood than him!

Walburga thought about Li Weide's performance just now, and in her heart, she actually felt that her father was right.

But… she was just very unwilling! When had she ever been looked down upon like this by others?

Thinking of this, the indignant Walburga pinched her younger brother hard. “Why didn’t you speak up for me just now?”

“Why are you pinching me? This… it wasn’t me who made you angry…”

Alphard felt extremely wronged. He didn't dare to speak at all just now, but unexpectedly, he still couldn't escape his sister's clutches.

Irma looked at her husband and couldn't help but say, “You obviously have nothing to do recently… Could it be that you’re afraid…”

“Afraid? How could I be afraid? I’m just… I’m just… Did you want to see me fight and kill like a reckless man, Irma?” Palex said angrily.

“Okay, it’s just a misunderstanding, there’s really no need…” Irma saw that her husband was already red-faced, so she didn’t say anything more.

Outside Platform 9 3/4.

After the Black family left, Li Weide took back the expression on his face that was more pure-blood than a pure-blood wizard.

He turned his head and saw Aberforth and Tom looking at him with strange eyes.

Tom swallowed hard, and then asked: “Are you really from that… what Li family?”

Li Weide shrugged, “I made it up. Tom, you wouldn't believe it, would you?”

Tom was dumbfounded, “Fake… fake?”

Li Weide spoke so confidently just now, that look, that expression, was like he was talking about something that couldn't be more real.

Now he was telling himself that it was all fake?

Li Weide patted Tom on the shoulder, “I’ve said it before, when you’re out and about, your identity is given by yourself. Anyway, our information at the orphanage has been destroyed. If I say I’m a pure-blood, who can say I’m not? For this kind of arrogant guy, you have to act more arrogant than him. Of course, your strength has to keep up, otherwise you’ll easily get beaten…”

Tom frowned and said: “Aren’t you afraid of being exposed? What if there really is a pure-blood family with the surname Li…”

“Li is a common surname. In China, there are at least several million people with the surname Li. There must be many pure-blood families with the surname Li. I didn’t say which Li family it was. Let him investigate if he has the ability.” Li Weide said nonchalantly.

“Okay, as expected of you, Weide, shameless enough!” Tom said with emotion.

Li Weide stroked the cold snake body of Nagini in his hand and said leisurely: “I’m very happy that you can praise me, but I don’t like your wording, Tom.”

Hearing this, Tom was immediately startled and quickly changed his words.

“Ahem, I mean, you are indeed wise…”

When the two were talking, they didn’t notice Aberforth’s thoughtful expression.

In his opinion, what Li Weide said might not all be lies…

He decided to write to his brother after he got back.

Aberforth knew that his brother had always been very curious about Li Weide's background.

And now, according to the information Li Weide said today, it might be possible to deduce some information about Li Weide's background.

Platform 9 3/4 can be said to be bustling with activity.

It was crowded with Hogwarts students and parents who came to see them off.

When Li Weide and the others came in, they could no longer see the Black family.

And Aberforth also left in a hurry after putting them on the train.

There were also many people on the Hogwarts Express.

However, fortunately they didn't arrive too late, Li Weide and Tom still found an empty compartment.

After putting down his suitcase, Li Weide sat down by the window.

But Tom, contrary to his usual self, didn't sit down to read. After telling Li Weide, he left the compartment.

Leivde naturally knew what Tom was up to, so he didn't stop him. Instead, he chatted with Nagini in his half-baked Parseltongue.

Tom's eyes were gleaming as he walked out of the compartment.

What Leivde had said earlier had indeed moved him.

He planned to make some "friends" and discuss their families' "foundations" and such…

After meeting the Blacks earlier, Tom knew what kind of people these pure-blood families were. Therefore, he could easily recognize them without much effort…

Tom strolled casually through the middle of the train, looking into each compartment, searching for his targets.

Suddenly, he stopped outside a compartment because the two Black siblings were inside.

Tom hid behind the door, peeking inside.

Besides the two siblings, there were several other people in the compartment.

The blond boy at the head was saying something to the girl.

However, the girl seemed to be in a very bad mood, probably still resenting Leivde.

Tom curled his lip in disdain. "Can't even take a few words?

Back then, I…"

Remembering the days of being oppressed by Leivde, Tom couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

At this moment, the girl suddenly said loudly, "Leave me alone! Malfoy! I'm very annoyed right now. Can't you stop hovering around me?"

Tom quickly walked away from the door and watched from a distance as the blond boy, looking somewhat crestfallen, led a group of people out of the compartment.

He raised his hand, gently stroking his chin, deep in thought…

Leivde was in the compartment, boredly reading a book with Nagini.

He spread the book on the table in the compartment and let Nagini coil in front of it, so that they could read together.

Nagini tapped the page with her tail, signaling Leivde to turn the page.

Leivde had just turned a page when the compartment door was yanked open!

A blond boy rushed in with four or five other boys.

Leivde glanced at them, vaguely seeing a familiar figure hiding behind the door.

Leivde immediately understood.

"I'm sorry, this compartment can only seat two more people at most. So many of you won't fit."

The blond boy glared at Leivde. "Are you the one who angered Walburga?"

Leivde frowned and looked up. "Who?"

"You're not going to play dumb, are you?"

Leivde shrugged and said, "Play dumb? I don't even know who Walburga is."

"Looks like we need to teach you a lesson! Beat him up!"

The blond boy waved his hand, and the four or five boys behind him swarmed forward!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The muffled sound of fists hitting the body echoed in the compartment, stopping after a long while.

The blond boy smiled triumphantly, his eyes bruised and swollen. "Heh heh, now you'll be honest…"

However, before he could finish his sentence, he felt a blur before his eyes, and everything in front of him changed.

Leivde, who had been pinned to the ground and beaten, had become his friend Flint!

And Selwyn, Travers, and the others who had rushed in with him were grabbing each other's collars, looking at each other in confusion.

The blond boy turned his head and saw Leivde, who should have been beaten up by him, standing next to a pale-faced Tom with his arms crossed, looking at them like idiots.

"What… what's going on? Abraxas, why are you hitting me?"

Flint looked at Abraxas Malfoy, who was grabbing his collar, with a wronged expression on his face, his face beaten like a pig's head.

"I… I was clearly hitting him. How could it be…" Abraxas was dumbfounded.

At this moment, Tom, who had been watching everything that had happened, was filled with fear and unease.

Because it was he who had instigated Abraxas Malfoy and the others to come.

After his observation, this guy named Malfoy might have a thing for that Miss Black.

Plus, Tom was also very good at gaining people's trust.

So, this guy was easily instigated by Tom to come and teach Leivde a lesson.

Tom had already made his calculations.

If these people could beat Leivde, then it would be revenge.

If they couldn't, he could also use this opportunity to see how strong the pure-blood family peers were and then assess his own strength.

After all, after knowing that he was a wizard, he had only fought against Leivde, a peer…

But he didn't expect… these guys had just rushed into the compartment aggressively, and before they could even draw their wands, they inexplicably started fighting each other!

And Leivde, the target to be beaten up, picked up Nagini, leisurely passed by the group of people fighting each other, and came to his side to watch the show with him…

"What… what exactly did you do to us?"

The current situation was already very obvious. Even if Abraxas was stupid, he guessed that their infighting was related to Leivde.

"Strange, what does your fight have to do with me?" Leivde said innocently. "I was just about to ask you why you had to fight in my compartment."

Leivde's words left Abraxas speechless.

The other students on the train had long been attracted by the commotion here.

They were pointing and whispering at them.

Embarrassed in front of everyone, Abraxas's face flushed red instantly.

"Bastard! You must have done something to us!"

Abraxas rushed up, wanting to continue beating Leivde.

Suddenly, his movements stopped, and along with his friends, he looked at Leivde with a look of horror, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"Ah…"

In the next second, these boys squeezed through the crowd and ran away like crazy.

Tom watched this scene dumbfounded, his heart full of confusion.

He knew that Leivde must have done something, but what exactly did he do… He didn't even draw his wand!

Just as Tom was puzzled, suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Then, Leivde's voice came slowly from his ear.

"Tom, your friends are really interesting. They were afraid we'd be too bored on the train, so they ran over to perform such an interesting entertainment program for us…"

Tom shuddered when he heard the word "friends."

"No, you misunderstood… I'm really not familiar with them… Really! Believe me!"
