Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 80 When sending and receiving information

As night fell, Harry and Hermione returned to the Gryffindor common room together - Neville accidentally hit his head while practicing spells, and had to go to the school infirmary to see Madam Pomfrey for treatment.

At this time, only two or three students were still on the sofa. The fire in the fireplace was jumping in the hearth, casting mottled and swaying shadows on the wall, like a mysterious and ancient painting.

"Good night, Harry." Hermione said, "Go to bed early tonight."

"Okay, good night." Harry watched Hermione walk towards the girls' dormitory. He also happily walked along the spiral staircase towards the boys' dormitory. When no one was watching, he couldn't help jumping twice.

During the study session tonight, only Harry succeeded in disarming his opponent. This was the first time he learned a spell faster than Hermione. Almost no one else could perform the spell smoothly. At the end, Hermione only made her opponent take two steps back... Then it was Michael, who made his opponent flinch... But that might have been because the beam of light from the wand was a little scary...

Harry thought of the surprised and admiring looks he received from everyone - not because he was "Harry Potter" or because he was "the boy who survived", but because of the talent he showed in learning spells.

Each member of the SSC has his or her own specialty. Harry originally thought that he had nothing to say except Quidditch, but now he knew that he should be very good at Defense Against the Dark Arts spells... Wade even praised him - he was a genius in practical skills...

And all this joy ended the moment he opened the door of the dormitory.

Ron was leaning against the bed, flipping through a magazine, and he didn't look up when he heard the door open. Seamus and Dean were probably asleep, and the figures lying behind the curtains were breathing evenly.

The atmosphere in the dormitory was somewhat unusual.

Harry suddenly remembered that he had promised Ron before he left - if Wade and others also welcomed Ron to join the SSC, he would post a message in the Friends Book and Ron would go over immediately.

Harry noticed that Ron was still in his going-out clothes instead of his pajamas.

"Hi, Ron," Harry said dryly, almost running out the door.

Ron looked up at him and asked slowly, "Is it over? How were your club activities?"

"--Not bad." Harry said stiffly, "I learned the Disarming Charm."

He didn't know why he added the last sentence. By the time he said it, he couldn't get the sound back and Harry immediately regretted it.

"Then did you ask me a question?" Ron asked, "You must have asked, right? It doesn't matter if they don't agree, you can tell me the truth - I can accept it."

Harry didn't know what to say: "I - I didn't -"

"—no?" Ron's eyebrows raised.

"The SSC has rules that we can't let anyone join at will. Everyone must agree... I'm just a newcomer... so..." Harry stuttered as he explained, and he didn't even feel that his explanation was convincing.

"Oh." Ron said coldly, "I see."

He drew the curtains shut, and lay down, covering himself with the quilt.

Harry stood alone by the door, feeling mixed emotions. …

A white ball of light slowly floated onto the candlestick and settled down, illuminating the entire dormitory brightly.

Wade sat at the window and began to check the messages in the friend book.

The friend account cannot retain text for a long time. If someone checks the message in time, the text will disappear from the page soon; if it is not opened, the text will disappear in half an hour at most.

So his parents and friends usually choose to communicate before going to bed.

[Zoe: Zoe thanks Vid Grey for the candy! Zoe shared it with her friends, and McGee and Tess will try to copy it. Vid Grey will also be able to eat it at the breakfast table! ]

[Steven: I have collected some information about bird snakes and sent it to you. I hope it will be helpful to you. By the way, Mr. Scamander wrote back to me and said that I am welcome to help! I am so happy, Wade! I never thought that this day would come! This is all thanks to you. Fortunately, you reminded me, my friend! ]

[Marchioni: Regarding the revision of the Friends' Book, I hope to have a meeting with you - can we meet in Hogsmeade on Saturday? I know that you can only get permission to go out in the third year, but maybe Professor Murray can take you out? In fact, I also know a secret passage that leads to the outside of the school...]

[Ferdinand: Wade, I received a reply from the person you mentioned.]

Vader's eyes lit up, and he wrote quickly on the parchment -

【Vader: Remus Lupin? 】

[Ferdinand: Yes. Just as you requested, he claimed in the letter that he is proficient in most of the Defense Against the Dark Arts including the Patronus Charm, has excellent grades in Transfiguration, is familiar with the training methods of Animagus, and is willing to accept a weekly salary of 10 Galleons. The letter is signed by Remus Lupin. I have an appointment with him to meet at the Leaky Cauldron tomorrow.]

Vader let out a long breath and couldn't help but smile.

He could ask Professor Flitwick about Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he couldn't always do so because Professor Flitwick had to teach classes, grade homework, manage Ravenclaw College, and sometimes patrol the castle. When he was free, he would go to the bar with his friends to have a drink and relax. Wade couldn't always occupy his time, and the same was true for Professor Murray.

During the Christmas holidays, Professor Flitwick gave Wade a copy of the "Compendium of Spells", but later he discovered that it was actually an abridged version. Most of the dark magic, curses, and poison spells were deleted by Professor Flitwick, and he also removed some spells that he thought Wade should not be exposed to at present - such as Apparition, Disillusionment, Animagus, Portkeys, etc.

Professor Flitwick's attitude was clear - although he felt that Wade was outstanding in Charms, he also insisted that as a first-year student, he should learn and master safe and harmless spells, and that advanced magic should be learned step by step in the senior years.

Wade didn't want to argue with the professor about whether his concern was what he needed, because Professor Flitwick was a very decent and kind person. But among the things Wade wanted to learn, there were some things that Professor Flitwick could never teach him. And if he practiced on his own, even with the bonus of the golden finger, it would be quite dangerous.

In each chapter of the textbook, usually more than half of the content emphasizes the same thing - failed spells can have extremely serious consequences, some of which cause the wizard to die tragically, some turn humans into non-human creatures, and some cause damage that cannot be reversed by magic.

So he needs a teacher.

A highly skilled, trustworthy and non-conformist teacher.

And what better choice than Remus Lupin?
