Had I stopped Nagini from falling into darkness? How had I done that?
Li Weide was rather puzzled. It seemed he had merely used a Transfiguration spell on Nagini to shrink her.
After that, he had left everything to Dumbledore...
Could it be that Dumbledore had killed Nagini?
But how could that be possible? Dumbledore shouldn't have done something like that...
Li Weide fell into thought.
Tom, over there, had already braced himself for Li Weide to continue "bullying" him.
Yet for some reason, this guy suddenly stopped talking.
Still, Li Weide's silence suited him just fine, so he said nothing either—and hoped Li Weide would never speak again!
Unable to think of an answer, Li Weide decided not to dwell on it. In any case, the large haul of Merit Points proved that he had done a good deed.
Besides, if he wanted to know where Nagini had gone, he could just ask Dumbledore later. There was no need to overthink it.
Once Li Weide stopped brooding over it, his mood improved somewhat. As a result, he spared the still-trembling Tom.
"It's already past ten. Why are you still lying around? Shouldn't you have gotten up early to read? This is the age when you should be striving forward—how can you possibly sleep?"
Tom stared at Li Weide in utter bewilderment. "But... but weren't you the one who wouldn't let me read the Spellbook...?"
"Huh? If you don't want to study because you're lazy, you should look for the reason in yourself. How can you blame me? Just because I wouldn't let you read the Spellbook, does that mean you couldn't read anything else? Like Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, and so on? Sigh, kids these days..." Li Weide said, shaking his head as he walked out of the room.
