Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 22 Umbrella House and SSC
That day, until he went back to the dormitory to sleep, all Wade thought about was the flying broom. At night, he dreamed that he was flying on a broom, as free as a bird - he flew over Hogwarts Castle, the stadium, the Forbidden Forest and the Black Lake -

He circled the grass and passed through the corridor of the castle. Everyone looked up at him in surprise. Michael was hanging on the stairs half dead, his eyes were dull from exhaustion. But Wade was far away from those damn stairs - he drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally passed through the window lightly and landed directly on his bed.

After waking up, Wade still had the wonderful feeling of flying freely in his mind. He looked at the ceiling with a sense of loss and couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

But first-year students are not allowed to bring brooms to school... and a Nimbus 2000 costs at least a thousand gold galleons...

Gray's father, Ferdinand, opened a toy factory, and the products were sold to the United States, so his family was relatively wealthy among ordinary people. Wade also had a lot of pocket money, which allowed him to buy all kinds of snacks at will. But in any case, Wade would never ask his parents for a thousand Galleons to buy something like a "toy".

It would be great if I could achieve financial freedom on my own - Wade couldn't help but think.

If he were in the Muggle world, he could quickly accumulate wealth with his knowledge of the future, but as a student in a boarding school, how could he make money?
Wade couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

……

The whole day of Saturday was a rest time. When Wade arrived at the practice room in the morning, he found Hermione already there.

Among the few people, Hermione spent the longest time in the practice room. Sometimes, Wade would read in the common room or dormitory of Ravenclaw because he didn't want to go downstairs, but Hermione spent almost all her free time in the practice room. Wade was sure that the girl didn't have any friends in Gryffindor College except Neville, and the girls in the same dormitory didn't seem to have a good relationship with her.

The girls always acted together, went to class together, ate together, and went to the bathroom together, but Hermione was always alone.

However, Wade did not advise her to get along well with her classmates - emotional intelligence is something that is innate, and Wade himself is not the type who is good at socializing, and he does not like to put himself in a difficult position to please others.

But today, the girl was unusually not studying, but was nailing something on the wall with a "bang bang" sound.

"What is this?" Wade leaned over to take a look.

The rectangular wooden board is decorated with simple patterns and a line of cursive characters on it.

"Umbrella room?" Vader's expression was a little strange. He thought of Umbrella Corporation, a company that created biological viruses and destroyed the world.

"Yes." Hermione nailed the last nail and said, "There are many practice rooms, but this is the only one that belongs to us. I think it should have a special name. In this way, when others hear us say 'Umbrella Room', they don't know where it is."

"Okay." Wade didn't care much about such trivial matters. He took a book from the shelf, sat down, and began to do the homework for yesterday's Herbology class.

The practice room, or umbrella room, has changed a lot since the beginning. Each of them has a space against the wall, with bookshelves placed along the wall and the table arranged according to their own preferences.

Hermione's shelf was full of books, many of which were borrowed from the library and had not yet been returned. She also had a thick stack of brand new parchment, two bottles of ink, and seven or eight quills - these things of hers were consumed very quickly. Since parchment was more expensive, Hermione usually took notes in notebooks bought from Muggle stores. The Granger family was not short of money, but the girl was more or less thrifty and would not spend money on unnecessary things.

In addition to textbooks, Wade's shelf also has all the notes he has compiled so far. Michael and others often borrow them. According to them, with Wade's notes, they can pass the final exam even if they don't attend classes. In addition, there are many props for transformation, such as buttons, matches, chess pieces and other common things. After the flying class, a miniature model of a flying broom was quietly added to his desk.

Michael's place was much more fancy, he put perfume, mirrors, gift boxes, chocolates and other messy things, a poster of a Quidditch star on the wall, a dragon model on the table, cookies that were not eaten yesterday, and badges collected from somewhere, etc. Michael proved with his own actions that not every Ravenclaw loves learning.

Theo from Hufflepuff is very much loved by Professor Sprout, and he is also very good at Herbology. On his shelf are two rows of small flower pots the size of a fist, which are filled with plants cultivated by Theo himself, including common white moss, mint, marjoram, yarrow, etc. There is also a pot of Mibu Mibao on the table. This plant looks like a diseased internal organ, covered with boil-like things, and will spray sticky and smelly liquid to attack others. In order to avoid accidental injuries, Theo put a hemispherical glass cover on it. Neville likes Theo's arrangement very much, and he also wants to make a similar one himself, but because he doesn't have much pocket money, he currently only has three or four pitiful flower pots. He also prepared some fertilizers, which everyone asked to be placed in the corner of the umbrella house to avoid affecting breathing.

Ryan is also good at herbal medicine, but his favorite is astronomy, so on his desk is a set of planetary models, large and small planets will slowly rotate around the sun in the middle. In addition, Ryan has collected a variety of different quills and different colors of ink, neatly placed on the bookshelf.

Several other people came to the umbrella house one after another. They noticed the new name of the practice room and praised it highly. Michael even clapped his hands on the table and praised Hermione for her cleverness and surprise.

Even though she knew that this guy was just complimenting women out of habit, Hermione's cheeks still blushed with joy.

Theo put down his bag and said, "I think not only should the practice room have a new name, but we should also have a name that shows that we are a whole."

"Yes." Ryan nodded: "If you always think that I am a Hufflepuff, he is a Ravenclaw, and you are a Gryffindor, there will always be a gap. We should be a collective that transcends the differences between colleges."

"It suddenly feels official!" Michael said excitedly: "Then what should we call him? Wade?" He looked at his good friend.

Wade was suddenly cueed and was stunned, "Uh... after-school tutoring interest group?"

"——You'd better not give any advice." Michael turned his head expressionlessly: "Hermione?"

"This——" Hermione suddenly became a little nervous for some reason: "Magic Lovers Club?"

Michael sighed, "Hermione, what's the difference between this and Wade's after-school tutoring interest group? Where's Neville?"

Neville stammered, "I-I can't think of anything for the moment."

"Theo?"

Theo said, “How about a sunflower club? Sunflowers represent hope, sunshine, loyalty, determination, and growth. Isn’t that very appropriate?”

"Well--"

Michael began to struggle.

Indeed - it was appropriate in every sense, but somehow it felt a little ordinary. If he were to name it himself, he couldn't have come up with a better one.

"Ryan?" Michael looked at the last person and decided that if he didn't have a good idea either, he would call the Sunflower Club.

Ryan fiddled with the planetary model on his desk, thought for a while and said, "How about Starry Sky Chaser? SSC for short."

Michael clapped his hands vigorously and praised loudly: "Cool!"
