Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

[Young Weed Grey looked at the wise Professor Lockhart with admiration with his innocent eyes, thanking him for his support and encouragement in difficult times.

"There is no doubt that the invention of magic pets could not be achieved without your help, Professor."

Vid Grey said sincerely: "Your talent and creativity are truly amazing. I just think it's a pity that you have used all your great talents in writing, otherwise you would have become a great alchemist."

I smiled and said to him:

"Don't feel sorry for this, dear Vader. I admire those alchemists who can promote social progress, but children also need the encouragement of words. I know my articles will inspire them to pursue a better self."

Wade's eyes were filled with gratitude and emotion, and tears could not help but flow down. He said affectionately: "Professor Lockhart, you are the best professor I have ever met!"

Lockhart looked at the text, put down his pen with satisfaction, and waved his wand to make the ink dry quickly.

Now all I need is a photo as supporting evidence.

He was not worried that Vader would expose his lie, because Lockhart knew that Vader Grey was also his admirer and he had answered the test questionnaire very well - of course, still not as well as Hermione Granger who got a perfect score.

And other professors said that he was a child who loved learning and respected professors. For this kind of nerdy good student, the affirmation and encouragement from the professor would only make him happier, and he would not regard a little bit of "literary adaptation" as a lie.

But Lockhart rarely saw Weed Grey on campus.

Lockhart also wanted to let Wade perform his great drama during class, but for some reason, every time he stepped into the classroom, there were always other thoughts occupying his attention. It was not until the end of the class that he suddenly remembered his original plan.

Unfortunately, by that time, the elusive student had often disappeared from his classroom.

"…What a lonely and shy child! But it doesn't matter. He will know that his Defense Against the Dark Arts professor actually admires him. A little fame and the Order of Merlin should not be an obstacle to the communication between us as teachers and students."

At breakfast, Lockhart said to Professor Flitwick:

"Of course, I have no objection to your teaching methods, dear Professor Flitwick. I just think that in addition to teaching, we should also guide children to actively express themselves and make more good friends, rather than having nothing in their heads except knowledge."

Professor Flitwick's beard was almost standing on end because of his anger. He shrilled:

"Thank you, Professor Lockhart. I think I know how to teach my students well!"

"Of course, of course, you must be very experienced!"

Lockhart smiled and comforted the furious Professor Flitwick, patted his arm, and added:

"But I suggest you read my book, Weekends with Werewolves, carefully. I mentioned seven ways to quickly and effectively improve your interpersonal skills in the book, as well as many conversation skills that will have immediate results. I believe it will be helpful to you."

Professor Flitwick ignored him completely.

The short professor cut the apple pie on the plate viciously, silently scolding Lockhart in his heart, and at the same time feeling a little bit of gloating.

In fact, after listening to Lockhart's doubts, he guessed what was going on. He was surprised that Lockhart had never thought of the possibility that the student would use the Ignore Spell or even the Exorcism Spell on him.

Professor Flitwick had no intention of exposing his student. He only thought about having a good talk with Wade later - how could he use these spells on a professor casually?

If we are caught, it won't be as simple as violating curfew.

Not even Lockhart could...

Even if... Lockhart... Even if...

The conversation hadn't lasted five minutes when Professor Flitwick changed his mind.

Vader was absolutely right.

As a professor, it is really unacceptable for him to be less intelligent than his students.

Professor Flitwick quietly sealed his hearing, and breakfast finally became delicious.

……

Lockhart wasn't actually that stupid. He just constructed an image of a nerd in his mind, and then used this image to understand Vader's behavior.

But after the same "forgetfulness" happened dozens of times, Lockhart naturally understood the reason.

——This student is not as withdrawn and well-behaved as he thought.

But it does not matter……

He was a professor, and Weed Grey was just a student.

The gap in status between teachers and students means that the other party can only use some tricks secretly to avoid attracting his attention, but cannot refuse the reasonable request made by the professor in person.

Look at Harry Potter!

Even if he was the savior, wouldn't he still have to play the role of a stupid vegetarian vampire and eat half a head of lettuce in Professor Lockhart's class?

Lockhart adjusted his plan with confidence and found himself a helper -

His pink dolphin, Victoria.

The effect of magic will be affected by the caster's consciousness, so magical pets not only differ in appearance, but their individual abilities and personalities will also be affected to a certain extent.

For example, dogs are very enthusiastic, cats are more curious, elephants have a strong carrying capacity, and dolphins are good at hearing.

"Vicky, you will definitely be able to find Vid Grey earlier than me. Remember to remind me when the time comes!"

Lockhart held his little pet in his arms and admonished.

"Ok."

Victoria nodded her chubby head and spoke softly.

Lockhart smiled with satisfaction.

……

The weather has started to get warmer recently, with temperatures reaching over 10 degrees. The snow on campus has melted, and some eager weeds have broken through the hard soil and spread out their tender green bodies.

Students were spending more and more time outside the castle, especially the Slytherins and Hufflepuffs, who would often walk in groups on the lawns.

"If I don't get some sun, my bones will get moldy."

Wade heard Pansy complaining to Daphne as several girls stayed outside in the corridor, raising their faces so they could better absorb the sunlight.

Of course, Slytherins wouldn't say that when they see students from other houses.

They always casually describe the marvelous view of the lake bottom that can be seen from the lounge, the sound of waves crashing in their dreams at night, and the occasional giant squid passing by the window.

Vader also saw Draco Malfoy. He was always with a few senior Slytherin students, and Goyle sometimes tried to get close to him, but was ignored.

During breaks, there are always some students sitting on the lawn, cheering or shouting, creating an exciting atmosphere.

And between them is often an enlarged piece of parchment or a torn net dotted with small decorations.

The Weasley twins have recently invented a series of new games - such as pet climbing competitions and pet maze races.

A hand-drawn maze map on parchment was sold by them at a high price of three silver Sickles; the climbing frame was sold at a minimum of five silver Sickles, but it was still in short supply.

The twins also secretly opened a gambling game. They knew that the professors would never allow it, so they did it secretly and even had to sign a magic contract.

At the end of a game, Fred poured a small bucket of copper Knuts and a few silver Sickles into his purse, listening to the coins clinking inside and smiling with satisfaction.

A puppet Sniff poked its head out of the purse, picked up a copper Knut that accidentally fell out, and then showed the same satisfied smile.

This was the Christmas gift Wade gave him, and George also got a Niffler.

By the way, Ron's magical pet is a teacup dog. He was very surprised when he saw the package. He never expected that he would receive a gift.

In fact, this was just a courtesy from Wade. The SSC members, as well as the Weasley siblings who went to 12 Grimmauld Place during those days, each received a magical pet, for example, Percy got a lion, and Ginny got a white lamb.

"Honestly, Vader. As long as you keep the numbers down, there's no harm in this."

Fred added: "It's only one copper knut at a time. Even if I lose every time, who's it going to hurt?"

"Really?" Wade said calmly, "I heard that Ron has lost all his pocket money."

George gave a mysterious smile: "There's nothing we can do. Our youngest brother seems to have a bit of bad luck."

Fred also laughed: "Let him realize this earlier so that he won't suffer any loss in the future!"

Vader shook his head helplessly.

He knew that these two brothers were causing trouble.

However, apart from bullying their younger brother, the Weasley brothers were very trustworthy and were open about losing money. Otherwise, they would not be able to do this business.

"Seriously, Vader, as the inventor of magical pets, how come you've never seen your pet?"

George said as he held down the Niffler that was trying to get out of his pocket.

"I have a lot, but I put them all away." Wade said: "For now, the only one I can consider a pet is Ava..."

"Oh, Wade, you little rascal! I finally caught you!"

An enthusiastic voice sounded from behind him, and before he turned around, his arm was grabbed forcefully.

Lockhart looked at him with a smile on his face and said in a joking tone:

"I heard you want my autographed photo? You're welcome, take it! I can even take a photo with you! Isn't it a surprise?"

Chapter 220 Advice

Wade was a little surprised when he was suddenly caught by Lockhart. He blinked, but before he could say anything, a photo frame was forcefully stuffed into his hand.

Lockhart, wearing a golden wizard robe, walked around in the photo, showing his proud smile from time to time, with dazzling white teeth.

Lockhart's distinctive floral signature is found in the lower right corner, and he playfully drew a flower at the end.

"Take it, this is what you've always wanted."

Lockhart put his arm around Vader's shoulders without hesitation and held his picture with him, saying enthusiastically, "Smile, Vader!"

With a "click", a black camera recorded this scene.

The faint white smoke dissipated, and Wade squinted his eyes and looked forward.

When the bulky camera was lowered, the face revealed was not Colin Creevey from Gryffindor, but Rolf Scamander.

The boy blinked briefly, and Vader smiled a genuine smile.

"Thank you, Roll!"

Lockhart patted Rolf on the shoulder and said affectionately, "When the photo is developed, don't forget to send me a copy. This is your reward."

He handed over a signed photo of himself.

"Okay, Professor! Thank you, Professor!"

Rolf had a camera hanging around his neck and took the photo with both hands, looking very happy.
