Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

"What should we do? He's been standing at the door, we can't get into the library..."

Tom was a little worried. Peeves was different from other ghosts.

With the slightest abnormality, he could cause a great commotion.

Tom didn't want Peeves to attract the patrolling professors.

Leved didn't answer, but raised the wand in his hand.

Tom only felt a wisp of white mist appear on Leved's wand.

Immediately afterward, he felt a blur in his vision, and then a ghost covered in silvery-white blood appeared in front of them.

Tom looked at the ghost in surprise, "Isn't this the ghost of our house, the Bloody Baron? Why is he here?"

A smile appeared on Leved's face, "Guess?"

Tom decisively closed his mouth.

At this moment, the Bloody Baron floated in front of Peeves.

"Ah! It's the esteemed Baron! May I ask, Your Excellency, what can I do for you at this late hour?"

Peeves's legs went weak when he saw the Bloody Baron.

The Bloody Baron was Peeves's nemesis, and no one knew why, but he was particularly afraid of this ghost.

"Get out of the way, don't block the path," the Bloody Baron said coldly.

"Yes, sir!" Peeves was greatly relieved, and ran through the wall of the corridor in a puff of smoke.

After Peeves disappeared, the Bloody Baron also disappeared in Tom's astonished gaze.

"This... what's going on? Can ghosts disappear on the spot? Wait..." Tom finally understood why.

This was a fake Baron! In other words, this was an illusion created by Leved!

Tom finally understood why Abraxas and the others suddenly left in such panic on the train.

Leved must have shown them something they didn't want to see!

This time, Leved also enveloped himself in the illusion, allowing himself to see the Bloody Baron, which was also a kind of warning!

"Crack..."

While Tom was still in a daze, Leved had already opened the lock on the library door...

Tom quickly followed.

After they went in, Leved suddenly turned his head to look outside the door.

He looked suspiciously at the corridor behind him, but there was nothing in the corridor.

After a moment of silence, Leved tapped on the door with his wand.

Then, the library door closed automatically, and the lock was relocked.

Tom suddenly felt another blur in his vision, and then found that the library door was still open!

In other words, what he saw just now was still an illusion!

Tom believed that if someone approached, they would see the library door tightly locked.

They wouldn't realize that the door had actually been opened...

From this, it could be seen that Leved was indeed well-prepared, and every step was logical, considering almost all possibilities of being discovered.

Suddenly, Tom thought of something, that was, was his joining also within Leved's plan?

Otherwise... why would he prepare spells like the Whispering Charm in advance?

"How exactly did you do it?" Tom asked. "I've never seen magic like this before."

"This is my trump card, want to learn it?" Leved asked.

"You'll teach me?" Tom asked excitedly.

"Dream on! Would you give me your trump card?" Leved said coldly.

"Of course! I'll even teach it very carefully!" Tom said decisively.

"Heh heh, have you forgotten that your so-called trump card was also taught by me?"

Tom was silenced by Leved's words.

In fact, his current trump card was indeed learned from Leved...

Why is the gap between people so big!

Leved threw a black glove over, "This glove is very sensitive to magic. Before you turn the pages, put on the glove and touch the cover. If the glove reacts violently, it means that the book has powerful dark magic, then don't open it. As far as I know, the kind of book you want to find can be said to be historical secrets, so it shouldn't have powerful magic."

Tom looked at the glove in surprise. He had heard before that many of the forbidden books in the restricted section had strong curses.

Opening them rashly could easily lead to being cursed...

But now, with this glove to detect, safety is guaranteed to the greatest extent!

"Where did you get the glove? It's so useful," Tom asked in surprise.

"Found it in a junk shop," Leved said casually.

He couldn't possibly tell Tom that this was one of the few magical items left in the Somlennow family...

"Be careful, I don't want to have to carry you to the school hospital in the middle of the night..."

"Got it..." Tom said weakly.

After dealing with Tom, Leved decided to make a quick decision.

The strange feeling just now made him feel alert.

But now that the arrow was on the string, it was impossible to turn back now.

That would only startle the snake.

So, Leved silently changed his plan.

Tonight, he would first pretend to browse through the forbidden books, and then, when passing by the place the senior mentioned, he would secretly take a look to see if the notebook was still there.

After all, so many years had passed.

After seeing the notebook, he would find time to take it in the future!

Bringing Tom was the right choice. To some extent, Tom's presence could also well conceal his true purpose.

In matters concerning ancient magic, Leved didn't dare to be careless at all...

Even when fighting, he would use Nightmare Magic if he could.

While Leved was thinking, he expressionlessly cast various counter-spells that made Tom dizzy on the red warning line in front of the restricted section.

However, this warning line didn't seem to have any protective magic.

Behind the warning line was the restricted section. Not far from the warning line was a long staircase leading to the lower level of the library...

In fact, the restricted section was also divided into several floors. The first floor of the restricted section was actually not that dangerous.

But from the next floor onwards, it was all dangerous things.

And according to the senior's introduction, each floor seemed to have ghosts helping to guard it...

Therefore, the Disillusionment Charms on the two of them couldn't be removed yet.

The tireless ghosts were indeed the best guards...

Without a single mistake!

However, under Leved's Nightmare Magic, these ghost guards were not a problem.

He only needed to create a little illusion to block their senses.

The ghosts had long lost the magic they had as wizards, so Leved's Nightmare Magic could still handle them.

"Okay, let's split up and look," Leved said.

Tom knew that Leved didn't want him to know what book he was looking for.

But he didn't care. Who didn't have their own little secrets?

Tom nodded, indicating that he understood, and then started searching from the first floor.

Leved went directly to the next floor.

On the first basement floor, there was also a front desk similar to the one on the first floor.

As soon as Leved entered, he saw a ghost sitting at the front desk reading a book.

Leved raised his wand, and the ghost's eyes immediately became dazed...

Leved carefully walked past him and came to the rows of bookshelves behind!

Hogwarts deserved its thousand-year heritage, collecting forbidden books as numerous as hairs on an ox.

In comparison, the open books on the first floor could be said to be just the tip of the iceberg of the Hogwarts Library...

According to the plan, Leved didn't go straight to the location of the notebook at the beginning.

Instead, he put on a glove and slowly touched the bookshelves...

When he encountered interesting books, Leved would pick them up and browse through them.

Just like a student who really came to the restricted section to peek at forbidden books.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Leved also went from the first basement floor to the third basement floor.

Finally, he slowly approached the bookshelf that the senior had described in detail.

Bookshelf marked 3-5-5-1, counting from the bottom up, the third column, the far right...

Leved touched it with his glove as usual.

He quickly stopped at the far right of the bookshelf.

His movements paused, and then he expressionlessly took out a book from inside and started reading it.

And right next to this book, there was a mark...

Although Leved's expression was impassive, his heart was turbulent.

Because the senior's notebook had disappeared!

This was actually not a strange thing, after all, the senior had left Hogwarts for so many years.

Even if the notebook was lost, it wouldn't be too strange...

However, judging from the dust marks left on the bookshelf, the notebook had actually been taken away recently!

In this case, Leved couldn't help but think more.

It had always been there before, and he had just learned the location from the senior, and it was immediately taken away?

What was going on?

Leved's mind was full of thoughts. After pretending to browse through many other books, he quietly retreated.

At this time, Tom was sitting by the window on the first floor, staring blankly out the window.

And in front of him, a black book was spread open.

"Tom, we should go."

"Leved... I found it."

"What?"

"Gaunt, my mother's last name..." Tom's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Although I don't know who my father is, but, my mother's relatives... are descendants of Slytherin! That is to say, I'm not a Mudblood, Slytherin's own blood does flow in my veins!"

"Once the holiday arrives, I will go find the Gaunt family... maybe some of my mother's people are still alive. Leved, will you come with me?"

Leved nodded, "Then let's go... but, you have to be clear, if your mother's relatives are still alive, but your mother still died tragically in front of the orphanage, what does that represent? I suggest you don't presuppose your mother's relatives to be too wonderful!"

Leved's words were like a bucket of cold water, poured on Tom's fiery heart.

But, he had to admit that Leved was right.

If his mother's relatives were good enough, then how could his mother, when pregnant, have fallen raggedly at the entrance of the orphanage?
