Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying!

The day after Halloween, after afternoon classes, Wade received a note from Professor Sprout—

After dinner, come to the third greenhouse.

Wade was overjoyed and couldn't wait to go to the third greenhouse after dinner, where he saw the grown mandrakes swaying slightly.

“Although the mandrakes are not yet mature, their leaves are already usable,” Professor Sprout said.

A purple vine tried to sneakily hook onto the witch's shoulder, but she calmly brushed it away.

“Great!” Vader exclaimed happily. “Then I can use it to practice Animagus, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Professor Sprout said with a smile, “Actually, a week ago would have been fine, but I thought it would be a shame to make you miss the Halloween dinner because of that, wouldn’t you?”

“Thank you, Professor,” Wade said gratefully.

“Learning Animagus is a long process, Vader.”

As Professor Sprout spoke, he took out a large pair of scissors and carefully searched among the mandrakes.

“You’ve been doing very well in your magical studies, but you should know that it’s normal to fail two or three times when practicing Animagus, especially the first step.”

"For a whole month, you must keep a mandrake leaf in your mouth. You can't swallow it or take it out. If you fail, you have to start the whole process all over again."

"Let's choose the leaves first. Before the full moon, you need to get used to talking, eating, and sleeping with a leaf of similar size in your mouth, and be careful not to swallow it. Practicing beforehand will help you know which mistakes to avoid when you officially begin."

Professor Sprout, holding the scissors, smiled and said, "Well then, choose one, Wade."

Still a two-in-one work, 4000 words.

Tomorrow's update will probably still be in the evening.
