Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 45: Book of Friends

Of course, Wade knew the significance of the "telephone". But he thought that since the Muggle world already had mobile phones and the Internet, the emergence of an instant communication device in the wizarding world was nothing to be surprised about.

Moreover, wizards already have tools such as two-way mirrors that can be used for "video calls". The advantage of parchment is just that it is cheaper, and the spells are simple and easy to understand. It can be said that wizards have already had the prerequisites for its creation hundreds of years ago, but for some reason, no one seems to have thought in this direction.

Wade kept a smile on his face, hoping that Professor Murray could understand what he meant - if you want the research results, you can discuss it, and the glory will be shared by everyone. Don't get angry on impulse, let alone take action.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to fight back.

Wade didn't really believe that Hogwarts was absolutely safe with Dumbledore around, and the Obliviation Curse and the Imperius Curse were not very difficult.

But Professor Murray didn't seem to understand. He retorted without hesitation: "Why not? The American continent existed thousands of years ago, but Columbus, who discovered it, was also called a hero! Dumbledore discovered the twelve uses of dragon's blood. Didn't people study dragon's blood before? Of course not! Child, there is nothing shameful in standing on the shoulders of giants - the important thing is that you are the first person to invent it! Wait, I have two letters to write!"

Vader's racing heart slowed down.

He suddenly realized that Professor Murray had no intention of monopolizing his alchemical achievements. He was just simply happy for Wade.

It was just that Professor Murray's expression was too extroverted and his eyes were too excited, which made Wade feel threatened.

He slowly adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, realizing that there was something wrong with his mentality.

——Because of Quirrell and... Dumbledore, he now has very low trust in the professors in the school, and subconsciously assumes the greatest malice towards them.

But in fact, Professor Flitwick was gentle and enthusiastic, and Professor Murray had been helping and guiding him since they met, so it was really wrong for him to have such doubts.

Professor Murray had no idea what was going on in Wade's mind. He wrote a few lines and suddenly asked, "By the way, Wade, what's the name of your work? It should have a name, right?"

Wade said as calmly as possible: "Yes, I call it - "The Book of Friends"."

He wrote "Book of Friends" on the paper, but felt that it lacked some charm, so he wrote the three words "友人帐" in Chinese characters.

"What is this?" Professor Murray curiously poked at the three words that looked like flowing paintings.

"The Chinese characters for 友人帐." Wade explained and read it again in Chinese.

Professor Murray imitated it clumsily, pondered it for a moment, and smiled: "Not bad. This can become your unique symbol."

He buried his head and continued writing: "Wade, have you applied to stay in school during the holidays?"

"No." Wade sat next to him, "My parents have been waiting for me to come home."

"On the third day after Christmas, I will hold a small party at my home. Remember to set aside time on that day." Professor Murray said, "I can introduce you to some... um... friends who may be very helpful to you."

"Of course, my pleasure, Professor."

Because of the guilt in his heart, Wade is now particularly easy to talk to.

"Also, your 'Friends' Book' is confidential now and should not be made public." Professor Murray blinked and said with a smile: "I will give you a surprise during the holidays."

With some residual suspicion still lingering in his heart, Wade subconsciously became alert and said hesitantly, "Uh... Actually, I was planning to give it to my friends as a Christmas gift - if the response is good, I will sell it on a small scale among my classmates and make some pocket money -"

"Oh—Vader—Vader—"

Professor Murray raised his eyes and looked at him, as if he was looking at a young child, and smiled gently: "My child, you are still young, so you don't understand. There are two kinds of alchemists in the world - one is those who have learned a little alchemy and work in the Ministry of Magic or various companies. They are called alchemists, but in fact they are just the labor of capital; the other kind of alchemist is me -"

He tapped his own chest with his finger, then pointed at Vader.

"--and you."

Wade's eyes widened slightly. "Surprised? Do you think this is too early for you?" Professor Murray asked as if he could read your mind.

Vader nodded. "I thought... it was just a simple little thing... I'm just getting started in alchemy."

Professor Murray smiled and shook his head: "The person who invented the quill pen must have thought it was just a simple little thing, but we have been using it for more than a thousand years."

He wrote the letter, stamped it with his seal, and sent it away by owl. Finally, he reminded Wade: "It doesn't matter if friends give each other small gifts, but forget about selling them yourself - you should spend your time on more useful things instead of being a peddler or a craftsman."

……

In the evening, after Wade finished making all the friend books that he was going to send out during the holidays, he returned to his lounge, lay exhausted on his bed, and thought about all the people he had met here.

Quirrell and Voldemort wandering around the castle.

Dumbledore, the guardian of this school, cruelly placed the lives of all teachers and students on the chessboard.

"Don't you feel wronged?" Michael asked him.

Ryan said: "I thought these things were far away from us."

Fred said, "Dumbledore really knows everything."

Hermione said: "Dumbledore is right... the heavy reality and hatred will overwhelm him."

And Harry Potter... the Boy Who Lived...

Vader covered his eyes with his hands and looked as if he was asleep.

Suddenly, a soft "pop" sound was heard in the room, as if a bubble had burst.

Vader immediately opened his eyes and turned to see the house-elf Zoe standing in the middle of the dormitory.

"You're here, Zoe." Wade smiled: "Thank you for agreeing to my request before."

Zoe whispered, "Ved Grey needs help, and Zoe is certainly willing to help him. But Zoe hasn't received a signal, so I came to see him."

"Because I wasn't in danger today. Professor Murray was better than I thought."

Wade pulled a green "bean" out of his pocket and showed it to Zoe.

This is a communication device between them, and Zoe also has one.

After completing the Book of Friends, Wade also made these small magic beans, using the association spell and the transformation spell. As long as he squeezed it hard, the beans in Zoe's hand would heat up.

Ever since his "chance encounter" with Quirrell, Wade has been thinking about how to ensure his survival. Dumbledore has his own plans, and the professors at the school will not ignore Dumbledore's orders to be his bodyguards. The only people who can be relied on and are willing to help him unconditionally are the house elves at the school.

Fortunately, he had a good relationship with the house-elves in charge of Ravenclaw Tower.

This strange creature can Apparate anywhere in Hogwarts, and its magic is even stronger than some adult wizards. Although they cannot disobey the school professors, it does not violate their duties to help a student escape from danger.

So Wade made an agreement with Zoe - as long as the magic beans in his hand became hot, Zoe would come to him immediately and take him to a safe place quickly.

Before meeting Professor Murray today, Wade brought the magic beans with him. He prepared for the worst, but fortunately he didn't have to use them.
