"Why?"
Levitra couldn't help asking on the way back.
"Why?"
Tom asked expressionlessly.
"I'm asking you, why did you tell Dumbledore about this?
This is not your style."
Levitra asked curiously.
"I just want Dumbledore to go with us."
Tom said.
"This way, you can't trick me."
Levitra:?
"Don't treat me like a fool, Wade.
You're always the type who won't do anything for no good reason.
How could you possibly accompany me to meet my family for no good reason?
So, you must be trying to trick me somewhere."
"Tom, you've misunderstood me so deeply.
When did I ever do anything for no good reason?
And... have you forgotten we're close friends?
Isn't it normal for close friends to help each other?"
"Haha, you still say you're Anne's closet friend... isn't that obvious?
Close friends are meant to be sold."
"Nonsense! Close friends are close friends!"
"Beware of fire and theft... Beware of you!
That's for sure!"
"Okay... whatever you say.
Anyway, I didn't have any other ulterior motives this time..."
Levander really didn't have any other ulterior motives this time.
Just like when he wanted to watch Dumbledore burn Tom's cabinet, he simply wanted to enjoy the show.
He didn't expect this kid to have been tricked so much by him that he was now so defensive of him...
Tom curled his lips. In his opinion, regardless of whether Levander had any ulterior motives or not, it was always right to be on guard.
Moreover, with Dumbledore around, he felt much more at ease.
Although Dumbledore didn't particularly like him, he was still reliable when it came to serious matters.
And... Levander was right about one thing; speaking directly to Dumbledore wasn't his style.
But, precisely because of this, this was a great opportunity to gain Dumbledore's favor!
Tom just wanted to show Dumbledore that he wasn't the gloomy, evil brat he used to be!
A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold! Look, I'm not the same Tom anymore! I've started to change, so stop being on guard against me!
Early the next morning,the Hogwarts students rushed to the station with their luggage.
They had to take the Hogwarts Express.
However, Levander and Tom didn't follow the crowd.
They arrived at Dumbledore's office early, their
luggage in hand.
Dumbledore led them to the fireplace.
"Because the lodgings I've arranged for you are already under the Fidelius Charm.
As long as you don't reveal your location, no one will be able to find you..."
Dumbledore said, taking out a piece of paper and handing it to Levid and Tom.
"Here's your address.
Don't tell anyone, memorize it, and then burn it."
Levid and Tom took a closer look.
It read: [81 Godric's Hollow].
Levid and Tom exchanged a surprised glance.
They had been to Godric's Hollow before, and it had been attacked by Grindelwald's witches.
And this 81... didn't seem to be the same house.
However, since it was protected by the Fidelius Charm, even if they returned to Godric's Hollow, they would be safe.
"Have you made a note of it?"
Dumbledore asked.
Levid and Tom nodded, and Levid threw the paper into the fireplace.
It instantly turned to ash.
"Alright... I've set up a makeshift fireplace here, connecting to the outside world."
Dumbledore picked up a small dish filled with Floo powder.
He grabbed a handful and dropped it into the fireplace.
The flames immediately turned a faint green, their heat temporarily fading.
"Shout out the address, and we'll be there."
At this point, Dumbledore's office was actually the Deputy Headmaster's office at Hogwarts.
Visitors wishing to enter Hogwarts through this fireplace did so.
However, this usually required prior approval; otherwise, the fireplace was always sealed.
Levid was the first to grab a handful of Floo powder and step into the fireplace.
"81 Godric's Hollow!"
"Bang!"
A burst of emerald green flames erupted, and Levid vanished.
Levid felt as if he were sliding down a long slide!
It seemed as if he passed through different fireplaces along the way.
He could even faintly hear conversation coming from other fireplaces...
"Whoosh!"
Just as Levid strained to hear what they were saying, he suddenly felt his feet touch solid ground.
Lewd stepped out of the fireplace and found himself in a plainly decorated living room.
Next to the living room was a small kitchen, and next to the kitchen was a spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
"Master Wade, you're here!"
Toby ran out of the kitchen and stood respectfully in front of Lewd.
"Why are you here?"
Lewd asked.
Toby said happily, "Professor Dumbledore told Toby in advance to come here and wait for Master Wade.
He said that from today on, this is Master Wade's home."
"Is that so..."
"Whoosh!"
Just as Levander surveyed his surroundings, Tom and Dumbledore appeared behind him.
"The room is on the second floor.
Do you want to go up and take a look
Dumbledore asked.
"Okay..."
Levander and Tom decided to put their luggage in the room first...
The most important thing was... they had to snatch a good room from the other party!
"Whoosh!"
Just as Levander and Tom were about to charge,a fiery red figure suddenly appeared from the sky!
Levander and Tom immediately drew their wands.
However, the red shadow landed on Dumbledore's shoulder.
It was a large, fiery red bird...
"Levander, Tom, this is Fawkes, my friend... Yes, it's a phoenix," Dumbledore said with a smile.
Fawkes, the phoenix, tilted his head and looked at the two boys in front of him.
"Phoenix?"
Levander then remembered that the Dumbledore family did have a phoenix.
Looking at Fawkes, Levander and Tom both thought the bird was a bit ugly...
"How beautiful!" Levander exclaimed.
"Yes... I've never seen such a beautiful bird," Tom continued.
Fawkes raised his head proudly in response to the two men's insincere praise, appearing quite pleased with himself.
"I'm leaving Fawkes here.
If there's any danger, he can take you away," Dumbledore said with a smile.
Levitra was surprised.
Dumbledore had actually left the phoenix here for their safety.
How much did he value them?
Tom was equally shocked.
Dumbledore's regard for them far exceeded his expectations.
Dumbledore's reasoning was simple: first, these two were truly rare talents, and second... Grindelwald was interested in them.
He didn't know why, but since Grindelwald was interested in them, even if he didn't know the reason yet, Dumbledore couldn't let Grindelwald succeed!
Therefore, he had specifically left the phoenix behind to protect Levitra and Tom.
This house had five rooms on the second floor, and each one was quite large.
Judging by the size of the living room, it was obvious that the five rooms were mostly due to the Undetectable Extension Charm.
With so many rooms, the two men wouldn't have to fight over them.
However, Tom still instinctively chose the room farthest from Levander's...
After packing their belongings, they went downstairs to the living room.
Dumbledore was setting up a cozy nest for Fawkes, the phoenix, on the fireplace.
Apparently, Fawkes loved the warmth of the fireplace.
"Fawkes likes dried fish.
I've stored quite a bit in the basement,"
Dumbledore instructed Toby as he prepared the nest.
"Well, there's still plenty of food in the basement. If you run out, have Wade write to me.
I'll prepare it for you so you don't have to risk going out to buy it."
"Toby, you can go out and buy it.
Then you can Apparate back home," Toby said respectfully.
He understood Levander's intentions.
If he had to ask Dumbledore for food, what difference would that make him a bit like being under house arrest?
It would be best to be as self-sufficient as possible, free from Dumbledore's supervision as much as possible.
"Alright. If you have any problems, come to me," Dumbledore instructed again.
By then, Levander and Tom had already come downstairs.
Dumbledore asked, "So... when are you planning to visit the Gaunt family?"
Tom pursed his lips before saying, "Today... if you have time."
"Okay," Dumbledore nodded, not objecting.
"The Gaunt family mansion is in Great Hangleton.
We can still use this fireplace to get there directly... By the way, I won't lock this fireplace.
It's safer to use it if you want to go anywhere."
"Would you like some breakfast first?
Toby has prepared several meals," Toby asked cautiously.
"Yes, we haven't had breakfast yet."
Levander didn't refuse the house-elf's kindness, which made Toby grateful...
Dumbledore's eyes softened even more at this.
Levander even considered the feelings of his own house-elf...
How many wizards in the wizarding world could do that?
Dumbledore felt he had been right.
"Wade, you are such a gentle child..."
Tom watched from the side, feeling a little suffocated.
He had to put in such an effort to make Dumbledore's opinion of him change even slightly.
But this guy Levander... just one sentence can make Dumbledore praise him!
Tsk, it seems that I still have a lot to learn!
"Hiss... Is there a possibility that I don't need to think too much and just need to imitate that bastard..."
