"But I have to face it..." Tom said.
"It's okay if I didn't know before, but now that I've finally got a clue, I can't just sit there and do nothing."
Levid smiled.
"So, I support you going.
I'm just reminding you to be mentally prepared.
There are many impoverished pure-blood families living worse than beggars, even those of Slytherin descent."
Tom nodded, then asked, "Let's not talk about my story anymore.
Let's talk about yours. Did you find your stuff?"
Levid's smile faded. "There was an accident..."
Tom was a little surprised.
It was the first time he'd seen Levid come up empty-handed after making such a detailed plan.
Levid looked toward the door and suddenly said, "Actually, I should have brought Nagini with me..."
"Why?" Tom asked, puzzled.
"Sometimes, snakes can sense things that humans can't see," Levid said with a hint of meaning.
Tom looked at Levid again with confusion.
This guy always said something baffling when it didn't make sense.
"We should go," Levid said.
Tom responded, put the books back on the table, and followed Levid.
Same Disillusionment Charm, same mystical magic, same route.
The return trip went much more smoothly than the return trip.
They encountered neither the night watch professor nor Peeves.
It was past four in the morning when they quietly returned to the dorms.
Alphard and Henry were fast asleep.
Levid said goodnight to Tom, tapped his head with his wand, and instantly fell asleep.
This stunned Tom.
This guy was too cruel. He actually cast a spell on himself just to fall asleep quickly!
Nagini, spitting out her tongue, looked at the sleeping Levid, then used her mouth to pull the blanket over him.
Tom sighed and lay down as well.
After a long while, he sat up helplessly.
"Can't you give me a hand first?
I can't sleep either!
"Senior, your notebook is lost."
Levid fell asleep so quickly just to discuss this matter with her.
The timing was so bizarre.
Just as they were about to take it, it was already taken!
You have to remember, no one else knew about this except the two of them!
And they were still dreaming when they discussed this!
The senior's nightmare magic was so terrifying; she was the only one who could invade other people's dreams, not hers.
If someone had truly invaded the senior's dreams and learned what they were discussing, why would they just take a notebook?
Wouldn't it be better to arrest them both? One of them was only an ordinary adult wizard, the other still a novice.
With such abilities, it would be easy to deal with them.
Everything about this matter was strange and illogical!
"I put the notebook in the restricted section on a whim. I didn't tell anyone," the senior's voice was weary.
"Could someone have learned the notebook's location from your lost consciousness?"
Li Weide asked.
"No...that doesn't make sense. My consciousness is like an insect's sense of touch.
It's the web I use to observe the world, and it doesn't contain any memories."
The senior student shook her head, dismissing Li Weide's speculation.
"That's strange...how could someone know this in advance...wait. In advance..." Li Weide suddenly thought of something.
"In advance...you mean, prophecy?
Did someone see something in the prophecy?"
"That's right. Otherwise, it can't be explained at all!"
The senior nodded, "Indeed...prophecy can indeed see some fragmented pictures of the future...Maybe, he only saw the location of my notebook, and hasn't seen other things yet..."
"Prophecy..." Levid sighed, "As far as I know, there seems to be only one person who can predict to this extent."
"Who?"
"Gellert Grindelwald...As far as I know, he once predicted in public that a war between Muggles is about to come.
Facts have proved that the Muggle world is indeed about to go to war..."
"Gellert Grindelwald.
I know this name...Do you have any intersection with him?"
"Unfortunately, I have had an intersection with him before, and he seems to be very interested in Tom and me..."
"He should be regarded as the most influential dark wizard in the world.
I know this kind of person very well.
He will not be interested in anyone for no reason...You have to be careful!"
The senior said seriously.
"You mean... he actually saw something in the prophecy, so he came to England to find us?"
Levid pondered, "Indeed... How could a man like him really make such a fuss about dealing with two underage wizards like us just because he was curious about Dumbledore's motives..."
The senior sister said, "If it was just Grindelwald, maybe it would be good news.
At least, you haven't been targeted by the guy who plotted against me..."
Levid said, "I must find out who took the notebook."
"Do you have any solution?" asked the senior sister.
Levid smiled and said, "If I took the notebook, I would definitely go to the locations on it.
Besides, only people from Hogwarts can enter the restricted area like this..."
The senior student said, "I understand.
It's just that there are too many locations on the notebook, and I don't remember many of them..."
Levid smiled and said, "Do you remember the first few locations in the notebook?"
"Of course.
That was my first time exploring ancient magic, and I still remember it vividly."
"That's good.
I think most people read books from the first page, right?
But what if he starts in the middle, then I'll be out of luck..."
"Are you trying to wait and see?
But didn't you say that the notebook was taken away in advance? Maybe he's already been there?"
"Probably not.
The traces left on the notebook are still fresh.
It couldn't have been taken more than three days ago, and we've only been in school for less than two days.
This person shouldn't have had time to explore these places.
In other words, I still have a chance to catch him!"
"Okay, then be careful."
"Don't worry, as long as he didn't transform himself to sneak in, I won't have any problems."
Levid woke up at eight o'clock in the morning as usual, and then washed up refreshed.
The nightmare magic allowed him to be full of energy even though he had only slept for a few hours!
Then, he saw Tom with two dark circles under his eyes in the bathroom.
"Good morning, Tom.
You look so good!" Levid said happily.
Tom:...
"I'm kidding.
Maybe you should need a stimulating potion."
Levid took out the potion that he had prepared long ago from his pocket.
After seeing the potion, Tom's resentment decreased a lot.
However, after he took the potion from Levid's hand, Levid did not retract his hand.
"A high-quality stimulating potion, 5 gold galleons at a discount!"
Tom widened his eyes: "You still want to charge money?"
"Don't blame me, Tom, it's a small business, and I have to spend money to purchase goods!
You probably don't want to buy on credit, right?"
"Even if I'm charging you, isn't five Galleons a bottle too much?"
"Well, at least let me make some money, right?"
"The Invigorating Potion is only one Galleon a bottle at most, and you're asking five?
I refuse to force a sale!"
Tom threw the potion back.
Levid quickly caught it: "Hey, even if it breaks, you'll still have to pay!"
"It's not broken, is it?"
"Okay, okay... Are you sure you don't want a potion to perk you up? You have a lot of classes today."
Tom shook his head, his eyes determined.
"I'm dead tired! I'd rather die in a cauldron in Potions class!
I'd rather jump to my death from a Hogwarts castle tower!
Than I'd drink a sip of your potion!"
Levid gave a thumbs up.
"Good! You're brave!
But for Potions class later, you need to find someone else to team up with.
I'll have to stay away from you..."
Tom laughed, a slightly creepy laugh.
"You think you can run away?"
Potions class was in the morning, two periods in a row. And Herbology was in the afternoon.
Today's classes were pure hell for Tom, who hadn't slept all night.
After breakfast, Tom forced himself to head to Potions class.
Levvid was still trying to sell Tom his revival potion, but Tom was adamant he wouldn't let Levvid win!
On the way to class, they ran into Annie again.
After listening for a moment, Annie decisively bought Levvid's revival potion for five Galleons.
After watching Annie drink the revival potion, Tom whispered to Levvid using a Whispering Charm, "Looks like we weren't the only ones who couldn't sleep last night..."
Levvid hummed, looking at Anne's back thoughtfully..
The Potions class was in the basement.
At the door, several Slytherin freshmen took a few steps back at the sight of Levvid and Tom, their eyes filled with fear.
Levvid smiled. Aren't these the same guys Tom had beaten so badly yesterday?
Aside from the seniors, everyone else was there.
When they entered the classroom, they realized it wasn't just the guys who had been beaten.
The other pure-blood students looked at Levander and his friends with strange eyes.
Fear tinged with a sense of alienation and rejection.
They whispered to each other as they watched Levander...but even though their voices were low, Levander, with his excellent hearing, heard it all.
Apparently, word of yesterday's fight had spread.
And, for some unknown reason, the fact that Levander came from some mysterious Eastern pure-blood family had also spread!
Levander suddenly realized why these people were so distant and rejecting him.
It must be because of the resistance and resentment that their own pure-blood families harbored towards foreign ones.
After all, Levander, an outsider, had beaten one of their own; it was like being attacked right on their doorstep!
Neither Levander nor Tom cared much about it.
If they weren't convinced, they could just give him another beating...
Slytherins generally admired the strong, so finding an opportunity to beat them up a few more times should have some effect.
On this point, Levitra and Tom were in complete agreement.
Tom, expressionless, found a random seat.
Levitra said, "Annie, how about you sit in the middle?"
"That's not good. I'll sit between you?" Anne said a little sheepishly.
"The view from the middle is better," Levitra said sternly.
Tom said coldly, "He's worried I'll be too tired to brew the potion and cause him to collapse!"
Upon hearing this, Anne very sensibly declined Levitra's request.
No one wants to be overwhelmed by the potion!
"Tom... do you really have to die together?"
Levitra said helplessly.
"Hehe..."
"I'll move," Levitra stood up.
But just then, Professor Slughorn walked in with a smile.
"Class has started. Everyone, take your seats."
Levitra turned around and saw that almost the entire classroom was full...and he couldn't sit in the Gryffindor seat next to him...
"Okay, then we'll both die together," Levitra sighed and sat back down next to Tom.
"I've always believed that Potions is the most fascinating subject.
Various seemingly unrelated ingredients, when combined, can produce all sorts of miraculous effects..." Professor Slughorn began today's class.
After a brief introduction to Potions, he moved several cauldrons to the podium.
"Can anyone identify the potion in these? If you can, it proves you've studied the textbook carefully! I'll have a special gift!"
As soon as Professor Slughorn finished speaking, the classroom erupted in a clamor.
Clearly, everyone was very interested in Professor Slughorn's mysterious gift!
"Anyone volunteer to identify it?
Flipping through the book won't count right now."
Professor Slughorn turned his gaze to the Slytherin students.
As the Head of Slytherin House, he naturally hoped this reward would stay with Slytherin.
Seeing the hesitation among the group, Professor Slughorn said, "How about everyone come up and take a look, and then write down your answers on paper..."
Before Professor Slughorn could finish his words, two hands raised.
Professor Slughorn looked up and smiled with satisfaction.
"Wade, Tom, since you've raised your hands, come up together.
Then write your answers on parchment.
If none of you are correct, have everyone else come up and see."
Professor Slughorn did this to the new students every year, hoping to identify those who truly enjoyed Potions.
After all, those who prepared for the tedious Potions textbook before entering school were the ones with a genuine interest in the subject.
Levitra and Tom immediately stepped forward.
Both knew that Professor Slughorn clearly had a special opinion of them.
Perhaps this professor would be a great help to them in the future, so they wanted to please him for their future. To put it
bluntly, they couldn't let the teacher sit there in silence.
Moreover, they had a vague idea of what the teacher was going to do.
Sure enough, when Levitra and Tom finished writing, Professor Slughorn excitedly said, "All correct! I'll give you both 20 points each!"
Li Weide and Tom looked at each other, thinking, "As expected!
With so many points deducted, I have to find more opportunities to make them up!"
