Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Since Dumbledore hadn't found a suitable house yet, both Leavitt and Tom had to temporarily stay in Hogsmeade Village before the start of school.

To this, Leavitt and Tom both had plenty of patience.

Especially after they received dozens of books sent by Dumbledore this morning.

However, unlike Tom's excitement, Leavitt seemed much calmer.

For Leavitt, who had already inherited a massive collection of Dark Arts books, the books sent by Dumbledore were good, but not enough to cause any emotional fluctuations.

However, the oblivious Tom, after seeing Leavitt's composure and comparing it to his own excited expression, immediately felt somewhat ashamed.

He felt that he should always be in this state of being unperturbed by favor or disgrace.

Otherwise, being so easily surprised would make him no different from other ordinary fools?

'I, Tom, no matter where I am, no matter among whom, even if I'm always one step behind Leavitt, I must be the most extraordinary one under Leavitt!'

Tom looked at the newly unsealed books, originally wanting to pick a few directly, but after glancing at Leavitt, he withdrew his hand.

"Tom, what's wrong? Weren't you longing for these books?" Leavitt asked, a little puzzled by Tom's behavior.

"You choose first," Tom said calmly.

Leavitt said with some surprise, "Rare, you're actually so polite today."

"I'm not being polite, but... you're stronger than me, so you deserve to have the right to choose first when there are good things," Tom said calmly. "If I'm stronger than you one day, I won't be polite!"

Leavitt could tell that Tom was actually telling the truth this time.

It could only be said that... Tom was indeed a Slytherin, arrogant, but also possessing the Slytherin trait—admiration for the strong.

They considered themselves strong, therefore, they also admired those who were stronger than themselves.

Even Tom, who would become the famous Voldemort in the future, couldn't change his admiration for the strong after discovering that there was someone stronger than himself.

After understanding this, Leavitt didn't decline, but directly picked a book called "Outsmarting Dark Magic" from the pile of books.

"Then I'll read this one first. Okay, I'm done choosing, you take them."

After hearing Leavitt's words, Tom carefully selected several books that he was most interested in from the pile.

Leavitt glanced at them and found that the books he had chosen were: "Common Spells and Counter-Spells", "Collection of Self-Defense Spells", "Practical Defensive Magic and its Restraint on Dark Magic"...

Almost all of them were books on Defense Against the Dark Arts recommended by Dumbledore.

Without a doubt, what Tom was thinking about was how to become stronger quickly...

Suddenly, Leavitt put the "Outsmarting Dark Magic" in his hand in front of Tom.

"What's wrong?"

"I suddenly remembered that I have something to do today, you can read this book first, and return it to me when I come back," Leavitt said.

"Where are you going?" Tom was slightly stunned.

"I'm going to Diagon Alley with Toby. And buy something."

"What are you going to buy? Haven't we already bought everything we need?" Tom felt strange.

Logically speaking, the things that needed to be bought had already been bought before. If anything was really forgotten, most of it could be bought in Hogsmeade Village.

Even if Hogsmeade Village didn't have it, Leavitt could ask Toby to help him buy it back, there was no need for him to go in person...

Why waste study time?

"I'm going to buy a few more second-hand wands, this requires me to be present to pick the one that suits me best," Leavitt didn't hide it.

"Don't we already have wands? Did you lose your wand?" Tom looked at Leavitt in surprise.

"Of course not... In fact, I recently discovered a spell called the Flashback Charm, it can replay the magic that the wand has recently cast..." Leavitt looked at Tom quietly, his black pupils becoming a bit deeper. "And I don't really want others to know what magic I've cast recently through my wand."

Tom completely understood at this point, in fact, he agreed with this!

Tom immediately put down the book in his hand and said, "I'll go too..."

"I also need another wand as a backup. I heard that new wands have a kind of magic called the Trace..."

"It's used by the Ministry of Magic to monitor students' spellcasting outside of school. Because we can't use wands after the holidays."

"This is really a stupid policy! I don't want to just stare at my wand anxiously after the holidays."

Leavitt nodded, "Since that's the case, let's go together..."

...

It should have been effortless for Toby to Apparate two young wizards.

With no error, with one hand, with one thought, with one glance!

But Leavitt's magic power was the same as that of an adult wizard, so Toby had to take them to Diagon Alley in two trips.

Toby said, "Junk shops can buy almost all second-hand items. Although most of them are junk, sometimes people can find some good things inside."

He was too familiar with junk shops.

Back then, his former master often ran to this place...

Without lingering in other places, the two people plus a guiding house-elf arrived at the entrance of the junk shop in just a few minutes.

"Okay, Toby, I have a list here, help me buy everything on it, and then wait for us at the place where we just appeared."

Leavitt took out a piece of paper and a bag of Galleons and handed them to Toby.

"Yes, Master Leavitt!" Toby respectfully took it and disappeared on the spot.

"When do you think... we will be able to learn this kind of... magic that disappears with a 'pop'?" Tom looked at the place where Toby disappeared with some envy.

"This magic seems to be called Apparition, but the house-elf's Apparition is not the same as the wizard's. We shouldn't be able to learn it at our current age."

Although Leavitt said so, he was indeed tempted, just like Tom.

Tom was still young, and his magic power was only at the level of an underage wizard, so it was indeed not the time to learn Apparition.

But Leavitt was different, he already possessed the magic power of an adult wizard, and he could cast many advanced spells after practicing them.

That is to say, he could learn Apparition at any time now.

However, learning Apparition has very high risks, and if you are not careful, it can easily cause split body phenomenon.

Generally, when wizards start learning this magic, they need an experienced teacher to watch by the side.

In case of a split body situation, they can help him reattach the separated body.

Leavitt secretly pondered who he should find to "protect" him if he really wanted to learn Apparition.

He absolutely couldn't practice by himself.

He didn't want his head in one place and his body in another...
