Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

It gently placed the black gem in Vader's hand.

Lupin looked at it curiously and saw that it was more like a black stone with a pattern made up of triangles and circles on it and several cracks in the middle.

Any curse or magic attached to it had been burned away by the fierce fire. Wade picked up the gem through the handkerchief and looked at it in the light.

The light seemed to be swallowed up by the gem.

He knew that this was one of the legendary holy objects given by the god of death to the three Peverell brothers. It was called the Resurrection Stone and had the power to bring the dead back to life.

As long as you hold the resurrection stone in your hand and turn it three times, you can bring the dead back to the world.

But the dead are not truly resurrected, and only the user of the Resurrection Stone can see it, so even if they stay in the human world, they will only feel endless loneliness and pain.

This thing looks like a divine artifact, but is actually no different from a curse. Its function is far inferior to the Old Wand and Invisibility Cloak, which are also called the Deathly Hallows.

In the plot, Dumbledore carelessly put on the ring because he was eager to see his dead parents and sister, and thus was cursed by Voldemort. Even with Snape's potion, his life was only extended by one year.

Of course, Dumbledore was Dumbledore.

He set up a big scheme in his last year, and even though he was dead, he still allowed Harry to send Voldemort away under his arrangement.

But the year without Dumbledore was also the darkest and most dangerous year for the entire wizarding world and Hogwarts.

Harry and his two friends had to leave school and flee. Many Muggles and wizards were killed. The Ministry of Magic became Voldemort's accomplice, and all the students of Hogwarts except Slytherin were tortured.

If it weren't for the sudden explosion of the protagonist's halo like Harry and Neville, who found and destroyed all the Horcruxes at the last moment, and if Harry hadn't used the ownership of the Elder Wand to rebound the Killing Curse and kill Voldemort, then darkness would have continued to shroud the British Isles, and Voldemort's reign of terror would have spread to the whole world.

It all started when Dumbledore got the Resurrection Stone.

If it weren't for the curse on the stone, a wizard as powerful as Dumbledore should have lived a long time.

Apart from Nicolas Flamel, who took the Elixir of Life, the witches on the Hogwarts Express have been doing this job since 1830. Some students think that this position has changed many times, but in fact it has always been the same.

There is also the former headmaster of Hogwarts, Armando Dippet, who lived for more than 300 years and only died recently.

However, Armando Dippet had been in seclusion for many years, and the magical world had almost forgotten him. The news of his death only occupied a small page in the Daily Prophet.

Excluding the original founder, Dumbledore's magical power is the greatest among all the headmasters, so even though he is now gray-haired, he can still live for a very long time before he faces the end of death.

—If he could die of old age.

……

Wade also placed the Resurrection Stone into a magic-shielding box, then transformed the suitcase into a wardrobe, opened the door, and asked the Firebird:

"Michal, can you stay in here? Be careful not to burn anything."

Michal nodded, flew in, circled once, found a dry place to stay, and chirped twice.

So Wade got some stones and dead branches from the mountain to build a nest for it. Mihaly blew a mouthful of fire into it, lit the branches, and then lay comfortably in the fire.

Wade put away his pencil case and left the woods quickly with Lupin. When they returned to Little Hangleton, they saw a fire engine passing through the village.

The sharp sound of the whistle woke up the sleeping people. They sat up in a daze and stared at the thick smoke in the distance.

"Fire!"

Panic sounds finally sounded from all directions. No one thought there was anything wrong with falling asleep, nor did they pay attention to the two people who hurriedly passed by on the path.

When they arrived at the pub, there were a few people standing outside the door, looking at the forest in the distance. Lupin and Wade walked through the crowd and returned to the room they had booked.

A black disappearing cabinet stood in the center of the room.

Lupin opened the cabinet door and said to Wade, "You go back to school first. I will take the Vanishing Cabinet back to Hogsmeade."

Wade nodded, said nothing more, got into the Vanishing Cabinet, and returned to Hogwarts in the blink of an eye.

Zoe was standing outside the closet, waiting for him with a smile.

……

Lupin closed the cabinet door, cleaned up the traces of life left by several people, opened his suitcase, moved the Vanishing Cabinet in and put it away, then picked up the suitcase, put on a gray bowler hat, lowered the brim of the hat, and walked out of the room.

The bartender of the pub was discussing with the guests the cause of the sudden fire in the forest. He guessed that someone had unethically lit a bonfire while having a picnic and did not put it out in time.

"It could be that the wind carried the cigarette butts in," Mike said seriously, "most fires are caused that way."

"Why don't you talk about the two guests from before?" said the bearded drinker Pete. "I still don't believe that a grown man can suddenly turn into a child."

"It's true." Mike, the bartender, said seriously, "How could I be mistaken? They all have black hair and gray eyes. They must be the same person..."

Pitt complained: "Isn't it more likely that they are father and son than they are young again?"

"But I didn't see anyone else go in..." Mike argued.

"You must have missed it!" said Pete.

Behind them, Lupin apologized wordlessly, then raised his wand -

"Everything is forgotten!"

A light flashed by, and the two people at the door blinked, their expressions a little dull.

After a while, Mike said, "It could be that the wind carried the cigarette butts in. Most fires start that way."

"No... I think the fire started deep in the woods. It's more likely to be a campfire that hasn't been extinguished."

"...No matter what, there are always some people who don't have the awareness of forest fire prevention, and those of us who live nearby are always the unlucky ones."

After Mike finished speaking, he suddenly felt the door behind him move.

He looked back, saw nothing, and turned his eyes away without caring.

Chapter 181 Forbidden Book and Curse

The next morning, Vader read the news of a fire in Little Hangleton in the Daily Prophet.

The article said that it was suspected that a dark wizard was conducting an evil experiment and burned down an uninhabited homeless man's house. After monitoring, the Ministry of Magic found traces of the burning of the Fiendfyre.

Fortunately, no one was injured or killed in the incident.

There was no mention in the newspaper that it was the Gaunt family house, let alone their glorious history as descendants of Slytherin.

I don’t know whether they felt it was unnecessary to mention it, or whether the young Ministry of Magic staff no longer knew to whom the “homeless hut” once belonged.

But Wade was sure that Dumbledore would not ignore this.

He looked at the breakfast table and saw the old headmaster recommending today's lamb chops to Professor Flitwick. There was a thick stack of newspapers on the table next to him.

Wade dropped his eyes and turned to another newspaper.

This was a daily newspaper published by Muggles, and Ferdinand had sent it to him specially. The newspaper showed clear pictures of the scene, taken from above.

The flames burned a perfect circle in the woods, with no grass growing inside the circle and no grass growing outside the boundaries.

The newspaper described the incident in an exaggerated tone and finally suggested mysteriously that this might be the trace left by the landing of an alien spacecraft.

In another newspaper, the author believed that a certain country was secretly experimenting with high-precision strike weapons, and launched an all-round criticism of Britain's defense, military, technology, bureaucracy, etc., believing that the country was not far from national destruction.

Vader: “…”

He laughed silently and then put the newspaper aside.

Breakfast is still porridge.

The house-elf minced the meat and vegetables very finely so that he could swallow them smoothly without chewing them with his teeth.

The mixed porridge doesn’t look very good, but these cute little guys are sprinkled with a layer of finely chopped celery and sesame seeds, which makes it look much better.

There were not many people in the auditorium, because the students rushed out of the auditorium quickly after breakfast. Today, the maze was reopened, and many students even rushed to line up early in the morning without eating.

After dinner, Wade went to the library to borrow and return books as usual. Thanks to Lockhart, he was able to borrow the books he wanted from the restricted area every time, and he also heard Madam Pince complain that Lockhart was too casual every time.

Wade suspected that the librarian actually knew a lot of things, such as the true origin of his notes, but Madam Pince never said much, as long as he showed the notes, he could borrow books from her.

Although she complained, she would not question the origin of the note, nor would she confront Professor Lockhart.

Vader didn't know if Madam Pince was like this to every student, or if he was getting some special treatment here.

Wade didn't delve into it. He just took the book back to the Umbrella House and absorbed all kinds of knowledge eagerly. Recently, he spent a lot of time learning about the curse.

Voldemort was an expert in curses, and the curse he placed on the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was something that not even Dumbledore could remove.

If you want to deal with Voldemort without understanding the curse and without the protection of blood magic like Harry, you will most likely suffer.

From the book, Wade learned some interesting and ancient ways of cursing, some of which he had seen in fairy tale books when he was a child, but he never thought that wizards could really do it.

Simply put, for example, the limp-leg curse is actually a curse that does not last long and is mostly used by students as a joke.

The Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse are also curses that require very strong emotions to be performed.

These effects were very short-lived, and what Vader learned in school was basically how to resist these spells.

Among the curses, there are some that last for a long time, have far-reaching effects, and can even be passed down through blood. They require superb skills, complex preparations, and powerful magical powers.

For example, there is a blood curse that turns people into animals, or a blood covenant that establishes an unbetrayable bond between two people.

Among the ancient curses, there are some that can turn people into animals or plants forever, or make people unable to wake up after sleeping, or make people always unlucky, etc., which are even more complicated.

The caster of the spell may also be subject to some hidden, negative influence.

Wade was watching intently when suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, Wade," Michael said, "Put the book down! It's almost eleven o'clock, we should leave!"

Theo and Ryan were already waiting at the door.

Wade was stunned for a moment and asked, "Let's go?"

Michael raised his eyebrows: "You didn't forget, did you? Today is the match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff!"

Wade suddenly realized.

He was immersed in the joy of destroying the Resurrection Stone Horcrux yesterday and went to bed very late, and indeed forgot about the football game in his own college.

Because the match between Lion and Snake was postponed for two weeks, it ended up colliding with the match between Eagle and Badger.

After entering December, the wind in the sky was biting cold. The deans of several colleges were unwilling to continue to postpone their own college games, so as not to adversely affect the players' condition, so they simply arranged both games on this weekend.

They arrived at the stadium and there were already a lot of people there, but not as clearly divided as in yesterday's game.

Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff are both popular, and their respective teams are mixed with students from other houses.

Wade even saw a few Ravenclaw students secretly taking off their cyan scarves and blending into the Hufflepuff team.
