Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 72 Reply and Photos

A thin letter from Gringotts.

The letter listed his recent income and the expenditure of a sum of gold galleons taken out from the treasury by his father, Ferdinand Grey. Weed glanced at the figures and put the letter away casually.

The package came from Marchionne, with a letter attached, which described the recent sales of the Book of Friends, the income that Wade should get, and the next promotion plan for the Book of Friends - although productivity could not keep up, Marchionne had already expanded the market to Asia and Africa.

In the letter, Marchionne also drew several new versions of the Book of Friends that would be launched next, and "earnestly requested" Wade, as the inventor of the Book of Friends, to "give valuable suggestions" so that the launch of the new product could "achieve greater success."

From Marchionne's earnest words in the letter, it seemed as if the business tycoon was really worried about this and couldn't sleep at night, and only Wade could guide him in life.

Vader: ...

He understood why Professor Murray said - "Just use that guy's ability to help you make money. If he harasses you frequently, just ignore him."

I guess Professor Murray had often received this kind of owl from Marchionne before.

But for Wade, Marchionne not only brought him a large sum of Galleons, but also sent a package of alchemical materials - although most of them were ordinary, there were also precious materials such as African tree snake skin that were difficult to buy even with money.

Wade still wrote a letter back carefully.

Of course, it wasn't a trivial matter like which pattern was more attractive. What Vader wrote down were some ideas about improving the Book of Friends that he had recently come up with while studying alchemy.

For example, it was limited to only two or three people, which was often inconvenient to use. He changed the magic loop, and then only needed a simple spell to connect multiple blank friend books.

For example, a picture can be added to the bottom page of the new Friends' Book, listing various emoticons that can express emotions with simple symbols - although it is useless, Wade knows that this kind of thing is very popular among young people. Some words that feel too cold when written in words will appear humorous and cute when replaced with emoticons or emoticons, which may stimulate another wave of consumption desire.

In addition, you can also add special positioning functions to some friend accounts, so that you can check the other party's location at any time by holding the other party's friend account.

Wade thought for a while, and added another paragraph to the letter:

"I think that this kind of friend book should emphasize on the header that it has a positioning function, and the color and appearance should also be clearly different from ordinary friend books. If a friend book originally used for communication can also be positioned, it will be suspected of invading privacy, which ordinary people may find difficult to accept. Its buyers should be parents and children, or lovers with sincere feelings..."

I just don’t know if his Book of Friends will inadvertently break up a few couples in the future.

Vader imagined the scene -

In the past, lovers would ask each other: "Do you love me? How much do you love me? Swear!"

In the future, the way lovers express loyalty will probably become: "Can you exchange your location friends' books with me?"

Well……

The test came so unexpectedly.

Wade thought about his own situation again - he didn't mind his parents knowing his location, and as for the lover who had no shadow yet... if he fell in love in the future, he would definitely aim to get married, and loyalty to marriage would be the minimum requirement. And Wade didn't plan to get married at such a young age - was magic not magical enough? Or was alchemy not interesting enough? Falling in love? What's the point of love! It would only waste his precious time...

Therefore, the arrow he shot today would never hit him back.

Wade wrote confidently and finished it quickly. He handed the letter to the owl to catch, attached the revised version of the Friends' Book, and watched it fly away.

……

The Great Hall, the Entrance Hall, the Umbrella House, the Library, the Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, the Quidditch Pitch, the Ravenclaw Common Room, the Dormitory...

Wade took photos of almost every representative place in the school that he could visit. When he met familiar classmates and professors on the road, they would take photos together.

Although Wade has never been a parent, he has been a son for many years. When he traveled, he always liked to take pictures of various unique buildings and natural landscapes, hoping that his parents could share these beautiful scenery. Later, he realized that his parents were not interested in these scenery at all, they just wanted to see him in the scenery.

Therefore, in his camera now, no matter how wonderful the environment is, the focus is always on people - in front of the greenhouse, he stands next to the professor with a kind expression and a slight smile; by the Black Lake, he puts his arm around the shoulders of his smiling and lively classmates; inside the umbrella house, everyone from SSC sits together and talks and laughs.

Fear often comes from the unknown, just like walking in the endless darkness, but can only hear your own heartbeat. At this time, if you have a lamp in your hand to illuminate the surrounding environment, so that your eyes can see the thorns and quagmires clearly, even if the road is still bumpy, the fear will naturally dissipate gradually.

……

The film cameras that can be used in Hogwarts are of classic style. The process of developing photos was originally cumbersome and long, but magic speeds up the process.

Wade turned the Room of Requirement into a darkroom for developing photos, then put the negatives into the developing solution, and after a series of processes including developing, stopping, washing, fixing, and printing, he finally got a stack of moving photos.

He moved to a brightly lit environment and flipped through the photos one by one.

The camera not only recorded their movements and scenes, but also seemed to record their mood when taking the photos. The people in the photos seemed to smile more brightly than usual, Professor Sprout would touch his head from time to time, and Professor Flitwick would sometimes jump on the pile of books excitedly, and sometimes jump down again.

Professor Murray is usually kind and gentle, and Wade regards him as a source of wisdom and a mentor in life. Professor Murray in the photo was originally in this image, but after taking a sip of tea, his whole face suddenly wrinkled, his eyes closed, his eyebrows shifted, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as if he was extremely bitter.

——Is that cup of tea... so bitter? Did they put some black Americano in it?
Wade recalled carefully, but he didn't pay any attention to the cup of tea at that time. Now he looked at Professor Murray in the photo, grinning with bitterness, then taking another sip out of curiosity, and then grinning again...

Vader couldn't stop laughing.

This photo must be kept privately, otherwise if it is seen by Professor Murray, it will definitely be destroyed to ashes because it damages his image, right?
Wade continued to flip through the photos, but suddenly his hands stopped moving and his eyes instantly became gentle.

It was a photo of their family sitting on the sofa at Christmas time.

But at this moment, the three people in the photo are very close, with his parents leaning against him, holding hands. The two of them gaze at each other tenderly, kissing from time to time; or lowering their heads and kissing Wade's forehead in the photo.

Leaning against the window, Wade stroked the photo with his fingers and couldn't help but smile, with a warm light flashing in his eyes.
