Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

The Great Hall was noisy. Besides the new students and those who had gathered around Levid at the entrance, almost all the students had now taken their seats at their respective house tables.

Despite Grindelwald's arrival, the students were somewhat worried.

However, as they gathered and chatted, this worry gradually dissipated.

At this moment, the other house club members behind Levid greeted him and returned to their respective house tables.

Then, they excitedly began sharing what had happened at the entrance with the others at the table.

After all, only a small portion of the students had gathered at the entrance, and the students who had entered the hall earlier didn't know.

As for Levid and the Slytherin club members, they noticed something unusual when they returned to the Slytherin table.

Compared to the harmonious atmosphere at the other house tables, the Slytherin students were clearly divided into two groups, sitting at opposite ends of the table.

Overall, it looked like a long snake that had been cut in half.

The group glanced at the situation at the table and then silently sat down on the other side.

Before long, Walburga and her followers also walked in from outside.

However, their expressions were not good, especially when they saw Levid and Alphard behind him, their faces were full of resentment.

Alphard shivered and couldn't help but shrink back.

It could be said that his psychological shadow had been cast over these days.

"Is she really your sister? Alphard? You weren't adopted, were you?" Tom couldn't help but ask.

"No…" Alphard hid behind a tall older student, letting the student shield him from his sister's murderous gaze before he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tch, damn pure-blood customs," Tom said indignantly.

Although he was a half-blood, he was still considered Muggle-born and belonged to the group that these pure-bloods looked down on.

Being despised by trash who were far inferior to him made Tom very angry!

"…I might not be able to go back in the future. Once my sister sends a letter back tonight, my parents will definitely burn my name off the family tree with a candle…" Alphard said bitterly.

"What are you afraid of? If they kick you out, then come live at my house!" Henry said generously. "Although my parents have also joined that person's camp… at least they're not as rigid as your parents!"

Henry knew his parents very well. They belonged to the weathervane faction, and their bottom line was very flexible, which was different from the stubborn and conservative Black family.

As long as he spoke up, his parents probably wouldn't say much. After all, Alphard was, in the final analysis, a pure-blood, a very pure one.

"Thank you, Henry… but… that would be too much trouble for you," Alphard said hesitantly.

"Don't say such things between friends!" Henry waved his hand.

Alphard's eyes welled up with tears again.

Being removed from the Black family tree meant being kicked out of the house.

In that case, he would be homeless.

Without any money, let alone continuing his studies, he might not even be able to afford food.

And now, Henry was willing to accept him…

"No, I'd better not… I'll go rely on my distant relatives. I remember… I seem to have a distant relative who is a Squib, and then…"

"You said they're distant relatives, and they might not welcome you. Since bothering them is bothering someone, and bothering me is bothering someone, then why not bother me? At least I won't think you're bothering me," Henry frowned.

"But… I…" Alphard was still hesitating.

Levid said, "If you don't want to trouble anyone, Tom and I can help you find a place to live. You don't need to worry about any expenses."

"I know you and Tom don't lack money, but, I…"

Tom said, "If you feel uneasy, just think of it as me lending you money. After you graduate in the future, you can pay me back when you earn money."

"Sigh…" Alphard sighed. He was really grateful that his friends were willing to help him.

But… he really didn't want his friends to spend money and effort for him… In that case, he wouldn't know how to get along with his friends in the future…

He couldn't accept the idea of his friend becoming a creditor… even if his friend didn't think of himself as his creditor…

It was a very strange feeling, or rather, a very sensitive sense of self-esteem.

Levid looked at him deeply. He used Legilimency slightly and understood his thoughts.

"Do you still want to go back? Back to that home," Levid asked cautiously.

"Home? That's not my home anymore, Levid…" Alphard said sadly, "Actually, from childhood to adulthood, I've felt out of place there… My sister…"

"If that's the case, then don't call that woman sister anymore. You should call her the defendant!" Levid said solemnly.

"Ah? Def… Defendant?"

"You have been hit by many curses, and some even belong to Dark Magic… This is already a violation of the Intentional Harm Ordinance promulgated by the Ministry of Magic," Levid said seriously.

The charge of intentional injury isn't unique to the Muggle world; it exists in the wizarding world as well.

"My sister… I mean, Walburga, what she did to me, does that count as intentional injury?" Alphard asked in surprise, having never considered it that way.

"What else would it be? If that doesn't count as intentional injury, wouldn't wizards be able to attack others with curses at will without consequence? If that were the case, Grindelwald wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths with a public trial."

Liweide reached into his magically expanded pocket and pulled out a thick volume of Magical Law, published by the Ministry of Magic, placing it on the table and pushing it towards Alphard.

"You actually read this kind of book? How can you even get through it? Don't tell me… you've memorized the whole thing?" Tom looked at the incredibly thick compilation of legal statutes in shock. Such a dry book; he couldn't even get through a single page!

Liweide glanced at him. "I just flipped through it casually during my leisure time and memorized it. Is that difficult?"

"Isn't that difficult?" Tom was stunned.

And… who would read this kind of book for leisure! And memorize it!

"You never know when knowledge will come in handy, Tom… Go away, don't interrupt!"

Liweide turned back to Alphard. "So, if you're unwilling to accept our assistance… I suggest you turn them into defendants. As long as you win the case in the Wizengamot, Walburga and those Pure-bloods who participated in your abuse will have to compensate you. And your parents, even if they disown you from the Black family, according to the Ministry of Magic's laws protecting underage wizards, they will still have to pay you child support every month. That way, all your expenses afterward will be what you're entitled to, and there won't be any question of who owes whom."

"Ah? This… even if I'm kicked out of the family, I can still get money? Why have I never heard of this before?" Alphard was astonished.

"Actually, although the Ministry of Magic seems a bit rough compared to Muggle governments, these laws have always existed! It's just that… few wizards pay attention to this knowledge…" Liweide rubbed his thumb and middle finger together. "You're an underage wizard; if you're kicked out of your home, you can demand compensation and child support from your parents!"

The people around the long table, looking at the thick law book, couldn't help but swallow.

They suddenly felt that it was quite reasonable that everyone rarely paid attention to this kind of knowledge…

"This… is it really possible?" Alphard's voice trembled slightly.

Liweide shook his head. "Whether or not you do it is up to you, but I want to say that the Wizengamot Tribunal always exists!"

Tom patted Alphard on the shoulder and said, "Let's wait a bit, what if your parents don't kick you out of the family? But… I still have to remind you, if your parents really burn your name off the family tree… that proves they no longer consider you family. Since you're no longer family, then you don't need to be polite anymore. You've been bullied in that house for so many years, haven't you felt any anger at all? Are you really willing to be discarded like trash? You're a person! Not some pet cat or dog!"

Alphard's eyes welled up again. "Yes… I'm not a cat or dog… how can they do this? Since they don't see me as family, then… let's do it this way!"

"Not wait any longer?" Liweide asked.

"I know my parents very well, Liweide… If they hear about what happened today, my name will definitely be burned off! They never disappoint when it comes to favoring Walburga… So, no need to wait…" Alphard's tone became increasingly firm.

Liweide nodded. "I will help you."

Alphard Black, in the original history, was eventually kicked out of the family, and his name was burned off.

When Sirius was similarly kicked out of the family, Alphard, who was still alive at that time, gave Sirius a lot of help.

Presumably, when Alphard saw Sirius at that time, he was reminded of his own situation…

Liweide gently stroked Nagini's cold scales, a thoughtful glimmer in his eyes.

Tom keenly noticed this. Whenever Liweide looked like this, he was definitely brewing some big plan!

"Liweide? What are you thinking about?" Tom couldn't help but ask.

"What happened to Alphard may not be an isolated case… even if they're not Pure-bloods…" Liweide said, "Perhaps, we can make things bigger, and then… create some publicity for our club…"

"Publicity for the mutual aid club?" Tom frowned. "Is that necessary?"

Liweide said gently, "Tom… you don't think that the mutual aid club I created is only limited to Hogwarts, do you?"

Tom suddenly understood.

Sorry, you looked too righteous just now, I almost forgot you were a Dark Lord!

How could the great Dark Lord abandon his basic foundation after graduation?
