Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Chapter 98 Roar
Lupin was very efficient. At noon the next day he told Wade that he had bought the Vanishing Cabinet from Borgin and Burke's.

At the same time, Wade borrowed the Vanishing Cabinet in the castle from Professor McGonagall under the pretext of studying alchemy, and assured that he knew the dangers and would not go in to study it recklessly.

The Vanishing Cabinet is a black and gold cabinet with many ancient magic runes and various wonderful patterns engraved on it. Ancient magic has formed a wonderful passage between the two Vanishing Cabinets. Even in Hogwarts, where Apparition is prohibited, people can use the magic of teleportation through the two Vanishing Cabinets.

In the plot, the Death Eaters entered Hogwarts through this passage, and Dumbledore died that night.

Vader used the Shrinking Charm to bring the Vanishing Cabinet to the Room of Requirement, and then took time to experiment. He communicated with Lupin using the Friends Book, putting various objects into the Vanishing Cabinet and then taking them out from the other end.

The first few experiments went smoothly - things like apples, bread, pillows, buckets, etc. were put in and all came out intact.

Lupin then suggested using living creatures for the experiment - mice, rabbits, dwarf pig monsters... their sizes became increasingly similar to those of humans, and they were gradually replaced by creatures with magical powers.

The experiment went wrong at the thirteenth try.

Wade felt something was wrong when he opened the cabinet door. After opening the door, he found a dwarf pig monster lying inside that had stopped breathing.

【Vade: It's dead.】

【Lupin: What happened? 】

[Vade: No wounds, but breathing has stopped. You can take a look over there.]

Vader closed the door again, and Lupin opened it, revealing the cold body of the pig-monster. He moved it out and examined it carefully.

[Lupin: The body was very cold, as if it had been dead for at least three or four hours. There were strange cracks on the surface of the skin, and the bones became more brittle than biscuits. The moment the door was closed, it seemed to go to a strange place and die there.]

[Lupin: Vader, the Vanishing Cabinet is more dangerous than we thought.]

[Vade: I understand. The experiment is suspended. I will see if I can repair this cabinet.]

When he put down his pen, Wade couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

He thought the Vanishing Cabinet was smashed by Peeves when Harry was in his second year, but he didn't expect that it was not intact before it was smashed.

He stared at the Vanishing Cabinet intently. Slowly, countless golden magic pattern circuits emerged like flowing water. Complex magic arrays were stacked layer by layer, and hundreds of ancient magic runes were wrapped around the Vanishing Cabinet like chains.

Tiny flaws, incomplete lines, runes worn by time, magic that seems to be corroded by rust...

He found the missing parts of the disappearing cabinet bit by bit.

……

Umbrella house.

After the actual combat training, everyone applied bruise healing ointment to each other. Harry asked, "Wade seems to be very busy recently? He only comes to the umbrella house once every three or four days."

Every time he came, he would spend about an hour teaching them a new spell, pointing out some problems everyone encountered in their studies, and then he would soon disappear.

"Yes." Michael said helplessly, "The alchemy professor seems to have given Wade a very difficult assignment. Recently, he rarely even comes back to the lounge. He always stays somewhere else to study alchemy."

The cleaning crab crawled over with a clatter, took away all the sanitary tampons, and mopped the floor.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but follow it around, and they left the umbrella house only after the crab returned to its shell nest and lay down quietly. As soon as they walked down one floor, they met an unexpected person.

"Hello, you guys..."

Professor Quirrell seemed to be startled by this encounter. With an awkward smile on his face, he stretched out his hand and stammered a greeting to his students.

Michael, Hermione, and Ryan bowed their heads reflexively and said, as if in respect, "Good evening, Professor."

Harry and Theo said generously, "Hello, Professor Quirrell." Neville lagged behind and hurriedly said hello.

When the two sides were about to separate, Harry added: "Come on, Professor! You are really brave!" Professor Quirrell laughed briefly and nervously, stretched out his hand and waved slightly.

"You..." Hermione stared at Harry, her eyes seemed to contain thousands of words.

Theo said bluntly, "Harry, do you think Professor Quirrell is... uh... brave?"

——There is no more timid professor in the whole school than Quirrell.

"You don't understand." Harry seemed to have many secrets in his heart. He said deeply: "Professor Quirrell is fighting against evil. He is really amazing."

Although Theo and Neville didn't understand, they nodded in confusion. The others looked at each other with indescribable expressions.

"Keep an eye on him and don't let them get any closer," Michael said in a low voice.

Everyone nodded silently, feeling that they were burdened with a heavy responsibility.

……

Harry was unaware of other people's worries. He returned to his dormitory as happy as ever, shared what he had learned today with Ron, played wizard chess for a while, and then went to bed.

But for some reason, the scar on his forehead was aching tonight. When everyone else fell asleep, Harry couldn't fall asleep. He simply put on his coat and sat in front of the window, looking at the starry night view outside.

Suddenly, a dark shadow passed through his field of vision. It took Harry a moment to realize what was happening - it was a person flying through the sky on a broom!
Who is that?
What was he doing flying over the school in the middle of the night?
Without hesitation, Harry found his Nimbus 2000, went through the window, got on his broom, and jumped down from the eighth floor of the castle!

He descended rapidly in the air, quickly regained his altitude, circled in the sky for a moment, and spotted a figure by the Black Lake. Harry circled around from high in the air, and only after approaching did he realize that the person standing there was actually Wade.

"Hey, Wade." Harry put down his broom and walked over, asking, "Why are you here?"

"Harry?" Wade turned around, also a little surprised: "It's so late, why are you still not asleep?"

"I can't sleep." Harry touched the scar on his forehead and said, "I don't know why, but I have a headache today - maybe Snape is cursing me at the bottom of the Black Lake?"

Wade glanced at the lightning-shaped scar and answered the previous question: "I was about to go back to sleep at night, and suddenly I saw a white-haired man here... But when I flew over, I found that he was gone."

He was not sure whether the figure he saw tonight was the same one he saw more than half a year ago, but for some reason, Wade always cared about this matter.

Perhaps because the distance was too far, he had never seen that person's name.

Harry scratched his hair, without thinking too much, and guessed: "Maybe you saw it wrong?"

"may be."

Wade did not argue. He saw Hagrid carrying an oil lamp and his hound Fang, walking into the Forbidden Forest under the cover of night.

"Looks like Hagrid's still awake too," said Wade.

"Probably feeding Norbert?" Harry said casually.

"Nobel?" Wade suddenly turned and looked at him.

"Yeah! Oh, that's the baby dragon. Hagrid named it Norbert." Harry explained: "It grew too big to keep in the cabin any longer, so Hagrid moved it to a cave in the Forbidden Forest."

Wade was surprised: "Didn't send him away?"

Harry sighed helplessly: "Hermione persuaded him several times, and Ron also said that his brother Charlie was studying dragons in Romania, and he could send Norbert over to be taken care of by them, but Hagrid said he couldn't bear to let him go..."

"Roar----"

Suddenly, a huge roar was heard in the forbidden forest, and a beam of fire suddenly shot out and shot straight into the sky!
