Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 136 The Eagle Who Cherishes His Life
"Were they friends before?" Michael asked.

"Best friend." Theo paused and added, "...I heard."

"Where is that person now?" Ryan asked.

"Azkaban, of course."

Wade looked up at the empty spot where the photo was and said nothing.

After lunch, everyone went to visit Hogsmeade.

Theo had been here several times before with his parents, and it was the first time for Michael and Ryan to visit this famous village. They rushed into the shop and were so excited that they wanted to buy everything.

Wade and Lupin fell behind. The middle-aged wizard looked at the happy children with a look of relief but also a hint of melancholy.

"Next time I have a day off, I'll bring Harry with me," Wade said sympathetically.

"That would be great if you could."

Lupin smiled like a silly dad: "I didn't feel anything when I was alone before, but now... there's one less person at home, and it feels like the whole house is empty."

"Please keep today's events secret from Harry," Wade said. "He is living a carefree life now. There is no need for him to be involved in Tom's affairs."

Lupin naturally agreed.

He remembered the doubts in his mind before, and said, "Weid, remember the dark shadow in the cave?"

"Of course," Vader said.

"If you just inject thoughts into it, it won't form a real form, as if it has an independent soul."

Lupin said worriedly, "With Voldemort... Tom's level of magic, he must have mastered a lot of dark magic that we can't understand. The danger of the crown is beyond my expectation."

"Fortunately, you were very cautious and never came into direct contact with it."

"Of course, it's been destroyed now... but if you come across something like this in the future, be careful."

He did not suspect that Vader was hiding something from him, but he thought that Vader, based on his current knowledge, had misjudged the terrifying extent of Voldemort's weapon.

Vader said seriously, "Of course, I will."

"Just to be safe, let me check again." Lupin asked, "You didn't come across any other 'Tom's weapons', did you? You didn't, did you?"

Wade looked away and said, "Even Tom wouldn't have a lot of that kind of stuff, right?"

Lupin looked at him and sighed: "Let me teach you the Fiery Curse."

"Okay!" Wade smiled and said frankly, "I've been waiting for this."

"Promise me that you won't use it until you have full control!"

"Of course, I agree."

"You must discuss anything with me first, don't do it on your own."

"I know."

Vader agreed to all of this, but Lupin still looked a little worried.

When everyone returned to school through the Vanishing Cabinet, Wade was still the last person to enter.

"Thank you, Remus."

Before closing the cabinet door, Wade said with a smile: "But don't think of me as a reckless lion. I am an eagle who cherishes my life."

Lupin was stunned.

The black cabinet door had closed, and the people inside had already arrived at Hogwarts.

Lupin smiled bitterly and said to himself: "Not all lions are reckless."

He picked up the upside-down photo, stroked it with his fingers, and the piece of paper stuck on it floated down.

The black-haired boy in the photo showed a happy and uninhibited smile, looking very smart and full of energy.

Lupin felt a pang in his heart.

"...Isn't there still a poisonous snake hidden here...that no one can see?"

……

Back to school, everyone has a common secret, and they seem to be closer to each other. They go to the umbrella house and find only Padma, and then they learn that Harry has entered the infirmary.

"What's going on?" Ryan asked. "Are they fighting Malfoy again?" Theo made a reasonable guess.

"No. Harry fell off his broom during Quidditch practice," said Padma.

Wade frowned slightly. "Did he lose control of his broom? Or was he hit by a Bludger?"

——Dobby came to school so early to cause trouble?

“No,” Padma said, “he wasn’t hurt. He just fainted.”

……

In the school infirmary, Harry was lying on the bed, just waking up, surrounded by several Gryffindor students and team members.

There is also a little boy (Colin Creevey) holding a camera to record the moment Harry wakes up.

"I'm fine." Harry pushed the camera away and said helplessly, "Thank you, Colin. But I don't want to take a photo now."

"Was it scary when you fell?" Colin asked loudly, looking quite excited for some reason.

"It's scary to fall down suddenly." Team captain Wood patted Harry on the shoulder and said, "Have a good rest today, and we will continue training tomorrow morning."

"Are you a devil?" Ron was so shocked that he blurted out subconsciously.

Fred held his shoulder and said sadly, "What do you think? Ronnie... the team is very cruel."

George said seriously: "Of course Wood is not the devil... He is much scarier than the devil."

Wood tapped each twin on the head, then began to explain how important their new tactics were, how the players' coordination was terrible, but the game was imminent (actually still two months away).

The Weasley twins both put on masks of pain.

Angelina (another team member) gloated at the two and laughed silently.

While Wood wasn't paying attention, Fred made a face at her.

Harry tried to explain: "I didn't faint from the fall, but I suddenly had a headache at that time..."

Wood's voice echoed throughout the ward, but no one paid attention to what he said.

It was Ryan who had just walked in who heard it.

"Headache?" He walked over and asked in confusion: "About when did it happen?"

Finally someone listened to his explanation. Harry breathed a sigh of relief and said hastily, "It was about half past ten... or close to eleven."

"Ten forty-five." Wood somehow shifted his attention back to this point. He said regretfully, "We've only practiced for an hour and twenty-five minutes."

Ryan and Theo exchanged a look.

Ten forty-five...

If I remember correctly, the dark shadow in the crown was being burned at that time.

Could Harry Potter be able to sense something even though he was so far away?
Michael felt something was wrong. He looked at the person next to him, but saw that Wade didn't seem to notice the subtle moment, but was looking at Ron Weasley next to him.

"That's because you spent an hour talking about tactics..." Fred said to Wood.

Wood frowned and was about to speak.

George suddenly covered Fred's mouth and said with a chuckle, "I suddenly remembered that we have detention today. If we don't go, Hagrid will definitely be angry..."

"Are you guys in detention again?" Wood asked.

"Yeah, we just went for a walk in the Forbidden Forest and our gamekeeper caught us..."

Fred pulled George's hand away and shrugged.

"He thought he should teach us a lesson..."

"Cleaning the pigsty, you can't use magic..."

"Now that Harry is awake, we shall take our leave..."

The twins stepped back as they spoke, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared from Wood's sight.

Apparently, to them, Wood's nagging was more terrible than cleaning the pigsty.

Angelina burst out laughing.
