Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Harry relaxed a little and asked in a deliberately casual tone, "Does Parseltongue sound strange?"

"It feels creepy... Anyone who doesn't understand it will seem very advanced." Wade imitated Harry's hissing sound, and then asked: "What does this mean?"

Harry hissed back.

Wade was helpless: "Harry, can you please speak English?"

"Oh!" Harry realized that he had just spoken in Parseltongue again. He thought about it for a moment before saying, "It means 'Hello, please coil up'."

"How do you say 'thank you'?" Vader continued to study.

Harry taught him the same.

"So... don't move?"

"Open?"

"attack?"

"Playing dead?"

Wade took notes as he studied, and Harry was happy that what he had learned could be useful to others, so he gave guidance very enthusiastically.

So everyone listened to them making strange hissing and laughing sounds, and the cold feeling quickly disappeared.

They looked at each other, and then Hermione, who was a top student, took out her notebook first.

"Why are we learning this?" Fred asked.

George shrugged. "Don't you think that's cool?"

Wade tapped the quill snake coiled beside Harry with the tip of his pen and said:

"The most incredible thing about the snake speaker is that I can control even snakes created by magic. Logically, this snake should obey my will, but it obeyed Harry's orders."

"So Parseltongue isn't just about talking to snakes..."

Vader said thoughtfully: "Snake creatures seem to be born to obey the snake speaker, just like the relationship between the inferior and the superior..."

"So... Harry, are you a descendant of Slytherin?" Michael asked.

"It's very likely." Neville hesitated and said, "But I've seen the family tree of pure-blood families...it seems that the Potter family has no marriage with the Slytherin family!"

"Don't be so sure, Neville."

Fred put his arm around his shoulders.

"Slytherin has been around for over a thousand years. Who knows how many families his descendants have married into? You know, people who are expelled from a pure-blood family will not be recorded in the family tree, let alone their descendants."

"It seems that there has never been a Parseltongue in the Potter family." Theo also speculated: "Maybe it's the bloodline of Harry's mother..."

"Then why is Harry in Gryffindor?" Michael couldn't help asking, "The Sorting Hat should have sorted you into Slytherin."

"Well... this is also a secret..."

Harry hesitated and said, "Actually, the Sorting Hat wanted to put me in Slytherin, but I refused."

Everyone nodded, and they all thought that he was right to refuse.

……

The professors examined the maze for a week but found no clues except some remnants of khat in the stable.

The other animals in the maze didn't eat anything they shouldn't have. They ate and slept every day as usual without any other worries.

So despite strong protests from students, the maze decided to reopen on Saturday afternoon.

But there was another big event on this day, which was the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin.

Speaking of which, this game has been postponed for two weeks.

Sirius's case was retried, and the Ministry of Magic sent people to Hogwarts to investigate several times. The Weasley brothers and Harry, who lived in the same dormitory, were often called in for questioning. The competition was therefore postponed to the end of November.

This week it's Gryffindor vs Slytherin, next week it's Ravenclaw vs Hufflepuff.

As the first Quidditch match of this semester approaches, the atmosphere in the school becomes heated again, and conflicts between Gryffindor and Slytherin are frequent.

At eleven o'clock, teachers and students began to head to the Quidditch field. Wade went to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor, opened the Vanishing Cabinet, and a big, shiny black dog jumped out.

He excitedly ran around the room twice, and then turned into a tall and thin man with black hair and gray eyes.

He was wearing a dark grey wizard robe, his hair was cut short and combed neatly, his cheeks had more flesh, his eyes were bright, and he looked handsome in a different way.

"You are Vader? Vader Grey?"

Sirius spoke quickly, and before Vader could answer, he bowed and saluted, then held out his hand: "Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Grey, you have given me a new life."

"Hello, Mr. Black." Wade shook his hand and said, "I admire your loyalty and courage."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

They both had black hair and grey eyes, but Sirius's eyes were droopy, similar to a dog's, while Wade's eyes were rounder and slightly upturned.

Lupin also came out of the Vanishing Cabinet.

"Remus, you're so slow." Sirius said anxiously, "The game is about to start, right? I want to go to the stadium to watch Harry play! Let's get going quickly!"

Before he could finish his words, he pounced to the ground and turned into a big black dog again.

The dog's body seemed to affect Sirius's thinking as well. He turned around twice, swishing his tail vigorously, and then rushed towards the door.

"Wait, Sirius."

Lupin hurriedly pulled him back and grabbed the black dog's tail. Sirius yelped and almost jumped three feet high, turning back to glare at Lupin.

"Sorry." Lupin quickly let go of his hand and explained, "You have now registered your Animagus form with the Ministry of Magic, and your transformed appearance is too conspicuous. The students will definitely recognize you at a glance."

Sirius thought... thought... He shook his head unwillingly, his ears drooped, but he still moved closer to Lupin.

Lupin hit him on the head with his wand, cast a Disillusionment Charm, and the black dog disappeared into thin air.

Then it couldn't wait to open the door with its paws and rushed out like a gust of wind.

"Sirius actually wanted Harry to see him in the audience," Lupin explained to Wade. "Fortunately, he didn't insist on his idea."

Wade was silent for a moment, then asked, "If you want to use the Disillusionment Charm... then what's the point of turning into a black dog?"

Lupin seemed to have just remembered: "Ah... I forgot to remind him..."

Vader: ...You did this on purpose, didn't you?

Chapter 175 Friendship and Competition

Ever since Sirius was released, Wade always felt that his impression of Lupin as a gentle and generous elder was being shattered.

He became much more lively, and his dark side would occasionally show up.

Of course, when facing Wade, he is still that gentle and tolerant friend.

Lupin glanced out the window and said, "Let's go. The Vanishing Cabinet is already where you said."

Wade had originally planned to do so, but just now, when he saw Lupin's eyes looking at the Quidditch field in the distance as if unintentionally, he was suddenly touched.

"You want to watch Harry's game too?" Wade asked.

Lupin shook his head and said, "There will be many more games to come. Since you think it is necessary to act at this time today, then business is more important."

"My business is of course important, but this game is not dispensable either."

Vader put his backhand on the cabinet door and closed it again.

"Harry flies beautifully. Professor McGonagall says he's as good a flyer as his father."

Wade said: "It won't take much time to leave after watching the game, but we have to get to the stadium quickly."

Lupin was slightly startled, then smiled and accepted Vader's kindness.

He also used the Disillusionment Charm to hide his figure, and followed Wade out of the room. They quickened their pace towards the Quidditch field.

Snake-like lightning streaked across the sky and dull thunder sounded in the distance.

Lupin looked up at the gloomy sky and said, "It's going to rain."

"Yeah." Wade also looked up and suddenly laughed, "I don't know why, but I always have a feeling that important games will be held on rainy days."

Lupin smiled: "What's the connection between the two?"

"Muggle movies and TV shows like to present it this way," said Wade.

"You seem to talk about Muggle-related things often, and your inventions also borrowed from their ideas."

Lupin said: "This is very special... because most of the wizards I know who come from the Muggle world try not to talk about things over there. When they grow up, they will still choose the wizarding lifestyle."

"I come from Muggle origin, why should I be afraid of Muggles?" Wade said in return: "It has been hundreds of years since the witch hunt, and the two sides are still so isolated. I find it incredible."

"Maybe it's because many people seem to despise Muggles, but in their hearts they think Muggles are terrible?"

Lupin said: "For us, the greatest punishment is the excruciating pain of the Crucio; but for Muggles..."

"I've read in books that Muggles invented all sorts of horrific and cruel punishments to deal with their own kind. Very cruel... Vader... the extent of that is far beyond the imagination of a child like you."

"Bathilda Bagshot, who wrote A History of Magic, wouldn't even dare put that in her book."

"Wizards are just as terrifying as Muggles!" Wade said, "I read in Modern History of Magic that Grindelwald once released a magic fire that burned half of Paris?"

Lupin shook his head.

"How many people are there like Grindelwald who can take lives without hesitation and feel no guilt at all? His soul is not twisted by dark magic, because people like him are probably born to be dark."

Lupin said in a heavy tone: "But most wizards who use dark magic will distort their minds, and killing people will cause irreparable damage to the soul."

Wade thought of Tom Riddle's once handsome face, which later turned into a noseless monster.

The reason for his change was that his soul was torn into pieces, causing his body to undergo terrible changes.

Under the gray sky, the conversation between the two people gradually faded away. They each thought of something depressing, so that a strange silence filled the air.

Until the students suddenly burst into loud cheers, breaking the silence.

"It looks like the game has already started," said Lupin.

They quickly climbed the stairs and reached the top level of the stands before finding a few empty seats.

The two sat down and looked up at the sky like all the spectators, only to see a dozen team members moving quickly in the air.
