Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 70: Box and Crown

"Tell me about your understanding of the Traceless Extension Charm." Professor Murray continued with a smile.

"Yes." Wade said seriously: "The Traceless Extension Charm is a space-related spell. I guess it should be able to achieve space extension and space folding at the same time. This spell can be applied to any material - metal, soil, cloth, wood, and the premise of use is a closed, limited space. In theory, the Traceless Extension Charm can expand the space from finite to infinite, but in actual application it will be affected by various factors, the most direct of which is the material and the wizard's magic power, and the understanding of the spell -"

Professor Murray nodded slightly.

Most of what Vader said can be found in the book, but it is not an easy task to integrate it. What's more, it also contains Muggle theories and his own thoughts, which can be regarded as an excellent paper if written down.

It can be seen that he did a lot of homework beforehand, and this serious and rigorous attitude is what Professor Mori appreciates most.

"——In summary, the Traceless Extension Charm is extremely difficult to use and can be easily abused. Therefore, it is strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic——"

Wade paused here, glanced at Professor Murray, and then continued in his smiling eyes: "The Ministry of Magic in each country has regulations that the Traceless Extension Charm cannot be used for private purposes. It can only be used for the production of individual items approved by the relevant Ministry of Magic. At the same time, wizards are not allowed to possess items that can be used to cast the Traceless Extension Charm without the approval of the Ministry of Magic."

Professor Murray couldn't help laughing: "Yes - we are now discussing how to violate the laws of the Ministry of Magic. But Wade, if you are an alchemist but don't have a suitcase with the traceless extension spell, you can't be considered a real alchemist. Of course, in order to avoid trouble from the Ministry of Magic, we also need to learn some hidden means -"

He raised his hand and summoned a book from the shelf, handing it to Wade.

"This book contains a clever trick that teaches you how to make your box appear ordinary at ordinary times, and change into another appearance when you need it. It is very difficult, child, whether it is the box with the traceless stretching spell or this hiding spell, it is very difficult. I look forward to your performance, and - yes - you can ask me any questions you have."

Vader flipped through the book, put it away carefully, and then pulled out a piece of parchment.

"Actually, I do have a lot of questions for you."

There were as many as twenty or thirty questions listed on the parchment, and none of them could be explained in two or three sentences.

"Oh—very studious, isn't it?"

Professor Murray grunted, then put on his glasses and began to answer the questions one by one. Wade immediately took out a pen and paper and began to take notes. When the Q&A session was over, it had actually far exceeded the scheduled tutoring time.

"Professor." Before leaving, Wade said, "I actually have one more thing to ask."

"Um, what?"

Professor Murray was already a little tired, but he still spoke patiently.

"Look, I took some time out these few days to make a box, and I'd like you to help me see if there are any flaws."

Wade pulled out a long oak box from the bottom of his backpack. It looked ordinary in appearance, with no obvious traces of magic runes.

Professor Murray chanted the spell and examined it carefully.

"Hmm - can it block the aura of magical items? No - it should be said to be isolated - there are also anti-theft spells, anti-Alaho opening spells, curse-breaking spells, and anti-jinx spells -"

He looked at Wade in surprise: "Are you collecting some powerful black magic items?" Wade smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I want to borrow some books from the restricted area, but I heard that some books themselves have powerful black magic attached to them. As long as you get close to them, you will be affected-"

Professor Murray laughed out loud: "Oh - Wade - Wade - my child, you are a little too cautious -"

He laughed for a while, and when he saw that Wade was getting more and more embarrassed, he wiped away the tears from his eyes and said, "Don't worry, when books in the restricted area are borrowed by students, Madam Pince will take some measures to avoid any bad influence on the students—"

Vader blushed slightly, and said in frustration, "So - I prepared this box in vain?"

"Oh, not really - it's always better to be cautious." Professor Murray comforted him: "Your box is perfectly made. Most dark magic items can be completely isolated and will not have any adverse effects on the outside world. At least you can use it to put away dangerous books when you go to bed at night."

Wade didn't seem to be completely reassured yet, and asked, "What are the small number of dark magic items that cannot be completely isolated?"

"It depends on the size, kid." Professor Murray still had a smile on his face. "If it can't be completely contained by it, the magic power will naturally leak out. But if it can be completely sealed from beginning to end by your box, you don't have to worry about any dark magic power."

……

In the dead of night, a figure was walking back and forth on the eighth floor of the castle.

"I need a place to hide—a place to hide—a place to hide—"

The familiar door appeared again. Wade opened it without hesitation and walked in, lighting up the surroundings with his wand.

In the room that looked like a city, the stacked furniture made the shadows around it look bizarre. Wade searched along the central aisle section by section, and finally saw his target next to a cabinet with a bubbling surface.

The old, rusty crown was placed on the pile of junk. It looked no different from the other garbage here, even more shabby, and the gray gems on it looked like unpolished stones.

Above the crown, there are the words [Tom Riddle].

If it weren't for this line of words, Wade really wouldn't be able to determine his target in this garbage-like place. Because he vaguely remembered that the crown seemed to be placed in a box, and it looked gorgeous, not this gray appearance.

But no matter what, the memory of more than ten years ago was unreliable, but his eyes did not deceive him.

Wade opened the box and put it on the ground. He picked up an old pair of tongs from a nearby garbage pile, stretched out his arms to pick up the crown from a distance, threw it into the oak box, closed the lid, and sealed it with heavy spells. Only then did he relax his tense mood.

With the crown, Wade could not study the functions of the Room of Requirement as he wished. He was afraid that he would be affected by the crown if he was not careful. Wade was also worried that others would find out about the Room of Requirement because of his frequent visits to it, and then be bewitched by the Horcruxes like Ginny Weasley, causing a big mess. At this time, the Horcruxes were completely isolated, eliminating the trouble, and Wade could not help but feel a little excited.

Just with this Room of Requirement, he has so many unknowns that he wants to study!

When he was leaving, Wade subconsciously pressed his schoolbag with his hand, but he heard a voice suddenly say, "It's best not to take anything out of the Room of Requirement, kid."
