Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 61 Train, Hyena

A sharp whistle sounded, and all the doors of the train closed. The front of the train began to move forward with a clang, spewing steam. Wade waved out of the window and watched his father's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

He turned around and sat down, feeling heavy in his heart.

The friend account felt slightly hot. After opening it, I saw that there were several more sentences on the first page:

[Fiona: Is the journey smooth? The train should have departed by now, right?]

[Fiona: Miss Ava seems a little unhappy. I think it might be because you didn't bring her with you.]

[Fiona: Is it cold on the train? ]

Wade smiled, took out a pen and replied one sentence at a time -

【Wade: We had a smooth journey. The train just departed. Dad should be on his way home.

If Miss Ava is unhappy, maybe you could feed her some dried fish? That's her favorite snack, I remember it's on the second shelf of the cupboard. Or some dried beetles or locusts, she would be happy too - but don't feed her too much, otherwise it will easily cause gastrointestinal problems.

Of course, you know these.

Also, there was probably a warming spell on the train to maintain the temperature, so it wasn’t cold and the scarf was also warm.

I'll remember to take more pictures. 】

"Hey, Wade!" When Wade was about to stop writing, Michael poked his head in and said happily, "I knew you should be in this direction - guys, here it is!"

He waved in the other direction, then dragged his suitcase into the car, saying excitedly, "Big news, isn't it, Wade?"

"——What?" Wade was a little confused.

"Of course it's the Book of Friends!"

Michael pulled out his wand, let the box float to the luggage rack and put it away, then sat down and said, "Before school started, my parents were eager to buy a copy! When they knew I had a whole book in my hands, they were all shocked! But I thought it was a secret among SSC members before, but I suddenly heard that it was already on sale in Diagon Alley - so the rumor is true, right?"

"-What rumors?" Wade found that after three weeks of not seeing each other, he had a hard time keeping up with Michael's topic.

"Oh, we all heard about it. Some people even came to ask me because they knew we were in the same grade -" At this time Theo also came in and continued: "- but I have to say, they didn't seem to believe it. They thought someone was lying!"

"Hi, Vader. Long time no see—" Ryan followed in and said, "I guess you rarely check the SSC chat page?"

"Well - because I still have to read..." Vader asked.

"I guess that's it, otherwise you wouldn't have said anything--" Ryan shrugged: "Let Theo explain, he knows better."

Theo Mancini, although his surname is not among the legendary Twenty-Eight Holy Clans, he is actually a pure-blood and is well-informed.

"It's like this. There were rumors before the Book of Friends came out—" Theo looked at Wade and said, "They said that there would be a new, cheap, and more convenient way of communication that might break the loose structure of today's wizards and make the relationship between people closer—"

Michael said, "I guessed at the time - maybe they were talking about the Book of Friends -"

So even though he had a friend book in his hand, he didn't dare to share it with his parents or friends. Instead, he put it at the bottom of the box. Every day, he took out the friend book and chatted with his friends secretly under the pretext of studying, and told them not to reveal the friend book to others. But at that time, except for Michael's friend book, everyone else had at least given a page to their parents. So everyone hurriedly patched up the matter and told their parents to keep it secret.

Unexpectedly, two or three days later, the gossip seemed to have spread all over the world and everyone knew about it.

"During those days, our Floo powder was used up several times faster than usual." Ryan said, "Many people wanted to get involved. My father said he knew a pure-blood noble who was trying every means to get the agency rights in America—"

"But Marchionne, the owner of Aslan's magic workshop, is a cunning and elusive character - this is what my grandfather said." Theo continued: "He said that Marchionne is like a hyena. If someone provokes him, he will pull the enemy's intestines out of... his ass."

Mancini's grandfather's words were actually more vulgar, and Theo was too embarrassed to repeat them, so he just mumbled them.

"No one dares to provoke Marchionne - no one has ever taken advantage of him. However, some people say that Marchionne also obtained the patent authorization for the Book of Friends from someone else, and the inventor is just a first-year student at Hogwarts -" Theo looked at Wade.

"Someone was trying like crazy to find you. I was really afraid to hear your name at that time, Wade." Ryan said with some worry.

Theo continued, "But the great alchemist Terrence Murray publicly stated at a banquet that the inventor was his student, and he would never tolerate anyone causing trouble or trouble to his student. If anyone bypassed him to find his student, it would be regarded as an insult and provocation to Terrence Murray-"

Ryan added: "It was only after this that I realized that Professor Murray had a very high status in certain fields - and there was Dumbledore in Hogwarts -"

At this point, a witch pushing a cart selling snacks happened to pass by the door. They stopped talking and each bought some snacks.

Then the interrupted topic continued.

"Professor Dumbledore also said that he hoped everyone would respect his students. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to defend the rights of his students. Suddenly, everything was calm again."

As Theo unwrapped the chocolate frog, he said, "I heard that those people with ideas are now going to Marchionne again. Maybe they think it's cheaper to provoke Marchionne - oh, my chocolate frog!"

The frog suddenly jumped out, and Theo tried to catch it but failed. Finally, Wade stopped it before it jumped out of the window.

"Thank you, Vader."

Vader handed over the Chocolate Frog and asked, "So... my name hasn't been spread?"

"Most people don't know. Many of them think she's a sixth or seventh grade student!" Ryan said, "But I guess it can't be hidden from those pure-blood nobles - even if Professor Dumbledore and Professor Murray say so, but Wade, you'd better not be alone in school -"

Michael put his arm around Wade's shoulders and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will be inseparable like conjoined twins. By the way, brother, it is rumored that Marchionne spent a large sum of Galleons to buy the royalties. Some people say that you are rich enough to rival a country. Is that true?"

While the other two avoided the topic, he asked it frankly.

Vader tried his best to speak calmly and not to sound boastful, "It's not that exaggerated. It's only 50,000 Galleons."

Michael grinned as if he had a toothache: "Fifty thousand Galleons! I have never seen so much money in my life!"

Theo smiled relaxedly and said, "Some people say it's a million Galleons! That's nonsense—"

Ryan suddenly pressed his shoulder, and Theo immediately stopped talking.

There was a knock on the door outside the carriage.
