Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 1014 A Terrifying Prophecy
As they saw Wade approaching with Harry and Ron, the eyes of everyone at the Hufflepuff table lit up immediately.

"Hey! They're here!" Michael waved vigorously, beaming, and said, "Over here!"

"You all have to try this, it's a new meat pie from the kitchen, it's absolutely amazing!" Theo picked up a steaming hot pie and gestured for it to be served.

“We have Neville to thank for that,” Ryan said with a smile. “He taught the house-elves the secret recipe that Old Lady Longbottom had kept hidden away.”

“It’s not that exaggerated,” Neville said shyly. “My grandma just discovered by chance that adding a spoonful of Worcestershire sauce to meat pies and adding roasted nut crumbs to the toppings makes the flavor much richer.”

"Really? Then I'll definitely try it!"

Ron eagerly grabbed a pie, took a big bite, chewed it a couple of times, and then his eyes lit up as he gave Neville a thumbs up.

Hermione closed the book in front of her, and a warm smile appeared on her face as she looked at Wade, her eyes seeming to say, "You're finally back."

Padma waved back, muttering to herself, "To celebrate, eating a piece of cake isn't too much to ask, is it?"

She finally gave up fighting her stomach and quietly reached for the small cake.

Fred and George also took a moment to turn around and wink at Wade: "Hey, Chief Advisor! Come and assess the market prospects of our 'Buggy Bubble Gum'!"

Harry thought he'd misheard: "What bubble gum?"

Wade smiled and sat down in the seat that had been specially reserved for him. Everything was the same as before, as if he had just spent a little more time in the library.

Soon, his ears were filled with discussions about homework, competitions, holiday plans, and "burp bubble gum."

However, Harry and Ron were not very good at hiding their emotions. After the initial ease and joy, they quickly recalled Trelawney's prophecy and suddenly found it hard to swallow the food in their mouths.

Hermione keenly noticed the unease on their faces, but instead of immediately pressing for answers, she tapped the table.

"Tap, tap!"

The crisp sound drew everyone's attention to her.

Hermione said, "It seems we need to shorten lunchtime. Harry and the others must have something to say... How about we go to the Umbrella House together in ten minutes?"

Although she asked the question, her expression suggested she wasn't expecting a negative answer.

Even the Weasley twins nodded and said, "Sure!"

Harry's expression immediately relaxed a bit, and he quickly said, "Okay, let's do it that way!"

Everyone understood and quickened their eating pace, devouring the food on their plates in no time.

In just five minutes, the group of people got up in unison, walked through the bustling auditorium, and moved toward the Umbrella House.

……

During Vader's absence, the Umbrella House underwent some minor changes. For example, several thriving magical plants appeared by the windows; two animated sketches with simple drawings of everyone were added to the walls; and the beverage cans and snack boxes on the shelves were frequently replaced.

The practice area has been replaced with more durable dark wood planks, the targets in the corners have been upgraded, and there are even a few more heavy wooden stakes to test the strength of spells.

Wade paused slightly in his steps.

He noticed that his table was almost unchanged from when he last left, and there were still a few unfinished alchemical trinkets on the shelf.

as well as……

The room remained the same as before; no extra seat had been added for Ron. He casually sat at Harry's desk, seemingly unconcerned.

The Weasley twins were also sitting at the table, so Ron's movements didn't seem so abrupt.

The door had just closed when Hermione, having put down her bag, turned around, arms crossed, and sharply scanned the three of them: "Alright, now you can tell me what happened?" Harry took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with Ron, and then looked at Wade.

Wade nodded slightly, indicating that he could speak.

“We…just heard a prophecy,” Harry said in a hoarse voice.

"prophecy?"

Hermione's brows furrowed immediately, and her face revealed undisguised suspicion:
"Is it Trelawney's thing again? What did she say... ominous, shadowy, or death?"

"Let me guess, is she referring to someone whose lifeline is unusually short, or that she saw the shadow of a skull behind one of you?"

Her gaze swept over Harry and Ron, finally settling on Wade's face: "Wade, don't tell me you're starting to believe it too! Don't we all know Trelawney is just a charlatan spouting nonsense!"

"This time is different, Hermione!"

Ron interrupted her abruptly, his face pale. "She's really different! She...she's completely changed. Her voice sounds like...like she's crawled out of a grave! And you can't understand a word she's saying!"

"Wow, cool!" Fred whistled. "Looks like Professor Trelawney has invented a new trick to fool people. Her followers are going to increase again, and even our little Ronnie won't be immune!"

George continued, "So what did she predict? That you would find true love in the future, and that the object of your affection would be Filch's crab?"

"Shut up, you two!" Hermione glared at the joking twins, her expression turning serious as she looked at the others and asked, "What did you say?"

"Wait, I've written it down."

Ron quickly pulled a crumpled piece of parchment with slightly smudged ink from his pocket, cleared his throat, and began to read it aloud, albeit haltingly:

"Two shadows vie for the sun, one crawls out of its grave... Um... the time has come, shall we get married?"

He squinted, struggling to decipher his own scribbled handwriting, his voice filled with disbelief.

Wade choked on his breath and started coughing; Harry stared in astonishment, while the twins, who had been serious, burst into laughter. Hermione shouted angrily, "What are you saying?!"

Ron said, feeling wronged, "But that's what she said! They heard it too."

He pointed at Wade and Harry, and Harry, who was being pointed at, suddenly became uncertain and said hesitantly, "It seems...it seems to be this pronunciation?"

"You should finish reading first," Wade said vaguely.

He realized that Ron had probably misheard two words from "Weave the Web of Time" as "we've" and "wed," and then mentally combined them.

But Wade didn't correct him; he just listened.

He disliked the part of the prophecy that might relate to him.

Ron made up his mind and continued reciting the prophecy he had heard:

"He wanted to create the world by letting it into the cloak on the deck, and also... to cast aside his shame?"

"Another one, walking in flames, with a golden crayon... and scissors... cut life... In his country, rivers weep, diamonds turn to ash..."

"Those standing on the bridge, be careful... be careful of the autumn abyss and the brightly lit corridor? Go back, go back, only by returning to the original difference can you find your own key and stone?"

After reading it, Ron himself fell silent.

He was so focused on catching the words he heard that he jotted them down with lightning speed that he didn't even look at the details.

Stunned by Trelawney's eerie demeanor and voice, Ron instinctively felt that what he had written down was extremely important and serious.

But looking at this now, doesn't something seem a little off about this prophecy?
