Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"Don't think you'll still be the 'killer' next time." Wade said lazily, "Professor Abigail should choose a different student every time."

"I don't want to be the one on defense - I have to stay alert all the time. I feel tired just thinking about it..."

Michael muttered.

When they returned to the lobby, they found a large group of students crowded inside to read the latest notice.

"Hey, what did you write? Read it to us!"

Michael, who was blocked outside the door, said loudly.

The students inside did not refuse. A tall boy from Gryffindor said, "This is the notice for the May Challenge."

"...May Challenge?"

There's only one left tonight.

Chapter 250 Notification and Preparation

The name of this notice first aroused everyone's curiosity.

"May Challenge?" Padma was curious: "Is there a June Challenge or something like that?"

"We have an event every month?" Michael said excitedly, "That's great!"

"Will the June challenge be the final exam?"

Suddenly, a voice that spoiled everyone's mood came from behind. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Hermione.

The girl looked very expectant, nodded to herself and said, "The final exam is not far away, we really should hurry up."

"Don't worry about what June is!" Fred, who was also blocked outside, stretched his neck and shouted to the people inside: "Wood, what's written on the back?"

Gryffindor captain Wood continued to read the notice, using magic to make his voice louder.

"May Challenge... This event will be held on Saturday, May 5th, starting at 16 am. The challenge target is an enlarged ball python."

"Please note, students, the ball python is Professor Kettleburn's personal pet, so it is forbidden to use the following spells on the ball python, such as ripped apart, blazing, eye disease curse, gut-pulling curse..."

Following this is a list of spells, as well as instructions prohibiting the use of poison spells and the like.

Then there are the rules of the competition and the criteria for winning.

This is a game that is more about fun, so it is not absolutely fair. The participating teams need to draw lots to determine the order of entry, and then overcome many difficulties before finally facing the ball python.

The enlarged python was originally a docile guy, but under the effect of the spell, it will be full of anger towards the contestants. The contestants need to leave the name of their team on the scales of the ball python while avoiding attacks and ensuring their own safety.

The team whose name is closest to the small red flag in the center of the ball python's forehead will be the final champion.

"Oh, damn it!" A Slytherin student in the crowd cursed angrily, "I've been practicing the Eye-Sickness Charm for two weeks!"

Obviously, he got some information in advance, but the information he got was incomplete.

Michael and George grinned and gave each other a secret high five.

"What are you all doing?"

At the entrance of the castle, Filch stood there, staring at the huddled students with a grim expression.

"No gathering or noise allowed in the hallway!"

Hufflepuff MacMillan bravely shouted, "There is no such rule in the school!"

Filch looked over gloomily, but didn't notice who was talking. He snorted coldly, "If you keep blocking here, we'll be there soon! Move now!"

The crowd finally began to move forward. As they passed the entrance hall, Wade nodded to Filch. Seeing that the administrator also nodded slightly to him, the curve of his mouth corners changed slightly in an instant.

Then, he immediately frowned and urged the students behind him to hurry up in a harsh tone.

When Wade and Michael entered, they saw Harry and his friends already seated at the end of the Hufflepuff table. Upon seeing the two of them, Theo immediately stood up and waved.

So Wade and his companions also walked over, and the Hufflepuff students around them were very understanding and made room for them.

There is one thing that is a bit inconvenient about Hogwarts. Even when eating, students usually have to sit at the corresponding long tables according to their respective colleges.

For a group like SSC, which is made up of several colleges, it is inconvenient to separate and talk when it comes to meal time. Therefore, they gradually get used to sitting at the same table.

Students from Lion and Eagle Houses all have xenophobic ideas, but Hufflepuff is much better. Even if there are students from other houses sitting at the table, the little badgers usually won't say anything and will even push the delicious food over here.

For them, it is a happy thing that their college is popular.

"Honestly, Vader, it would be great if you could join our team," Padma said. "Then we would have a great chance of winning the championship."

Wade shook his head: "Even if I win the championship, others might think it's because of me. And you have Harry with you, so your chances of winning are actually very high."

"--Me?" Harry, who was gnawing on a chicken leg, looked up blankly.

Then, when everyone looked at him, Harry blushed and waved his hands hastily, saying, "Don't forget that there are many sixth and seventh grade students participating! They know much more magic than us."

"There's no need to be so modest, Harry. The magic you know is actually more than enough." Wade smiled and said, "And according to the judging criteria this time, you have a huge advantage over others."

"Advantage? What is it?" Ryan looked at Harry and then at Wade and asked.

Although everyone in the SSC thought that Harry was very talented in combat spells, they thought it was a bit exaggerated to say that he was stronger than the students in the sixth and seventh grades.

Wade made a silent gesture with his finger and said, "You can't say this. Once you say it, the other teams will be prepared."

"Oh..." Although Theo was confused, he nodded.

"But to win the championship, you must first overcome the obstacles in front of you." Wade added: "If you fall down in the first half of the journey, there will be nothing."

"In fact, I have summarized the characteristics and distribution ranges of animals, insects, and magical plants that you will encounter in most mazes."

Hermione quickly pulled out a thick notebook and added, "I've also written down the simplest spells to deal with them... and planned a route with fewer obstacles."

"Hermione, you're amazing!" Michael exclaimed, took the notebook and flipped through a few pages, and then exclaimed: "So detailed... When did you do it?"

"Well... in the last few weeks." Hermione said a little awkwardly: "I, uh, I think you should be able to use it."

"Of course, it's so useful!"

Michael passed the notebook to others to read, and turned around to find Padma pursing her lips, seeming a little unhappy.

Michael stretched out his arm and took a piece of strawberry mousse cake from the other end of the table: "Wow, there is this cake today. I remember you said you wanted to eat it last time!"

Padma took it and finally smiled a little.

Elsewhere, as everyone was passing around their notes, Ryan asked Wade, "What are you going to do when we all participate in the competition? Are you going to be a referee with the professors?"

"No." Wade said, "In fact, the two-way mirror that Fred, George and I repaired has been roughly completed recently. I plan to try it out during the event that day."

Chapter 251 Television in the Magical World

"Two-way mirror trial?" Ryan thought for a moment and said, "I remember Fred mentioned that the two-way mirror you made this time seemed to be a one-to-many transmission image?"

"Yes, that's right." Wade explained, "It's just like a Muggle TV show. A main mirror acts as a TV station, and many sub-mirrors are TVs."

"Then all wizards in Britain can watch our game?"

Ryan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he glanced anxiously at Harry and others who were discussing preparations for the game.

Everyone is looking forward to it and preparing for it for so long. If I say I want to quit... isn't that immoral?

Wade smiled. "If everything goes well, wizards around the world should be able to see the same picture in the future. But this time, only the employees of Aslan's magic workshop are responsible for testing the sub-mirror... Of course, Remus and Sirius can also see it."

Ryan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, he doesn't have to struggle between friendship and his true heart.

Although there were some extra spectators, Ryan felt it was still acceptable compared to the wizards across the UK.

After the worry subsided, curiosity began to take over again.

"Will the sub-mirrors be sold in stores like televisions in the future?"

"Of course," Vader said.

"So we can see Celestina singing in it, and we can also see..."

He thought back to the television programs he had seen.

"Can we still see Mr. Bean getting his teeth fixed?"

"That's a TV show, which is a fragmented scene performed according to the script, shot and edited, but a two-way mirror can only broadcast live, that is, everything that happens in front of the main mirror is transmitted to all the sub-mirrors in real time."

Ryan seemed to understand what he said.

Vader was actually more surprised.

Because he knew that Ryan's grandmother was a Muggle, his father was a Muggle wizard, and his family had many Muggle relatives. But Ryan's understanding of Muggles was similar to that of "Muggle lovers" like the Weasley family.

I know a little bit of the surface stuff, but I don’t really understand it in depth.

So Wade explained the difference between the two to him again in an easy-to-understand way.

Then he added: "Of course, there are not many events like the Challenge that are suitable for broadcasting. So I thought that we could use the mother mirror to broadcast Muggle TV programs so that the electronic signals will not be affected by the magical magnetic field."

The best part is that they can choose TV programs from all over the world without having to pay any broadcasting fees.

This will also help the magical community better understand the lives of ordinary people, and avoid jokes where they are neighbors but can't even tell the difference between pajamas and formal clothes.

——It was with this reason that Wade persuaded Dumbledore to agree to let him conduct this experiment.

Although he felt that if he made a direct request, the headmaster probably wouldn't refuse, but some habits left in his genes made Wade subconsciously use a reason that sounded more orthodox and grander.

"Then I must buy a mirror. During the summer vacation, remember to broadcast Mr. Bean!" Ryan said with anticipation: "I watched two episodes at my uncle's house before, but I didn't have the chance to finish it."

"Of course, we will definitely bring in all kinds of great Muggle television shows."

Wade suddenly realized that his statement was too "official". Perhaps he was used to it when communicating with Mr. Marchionne, so he hasn't changed it yet.

He coughed and said, "I'll let you know in advance when the time comes... How about two episodes a day?"

Ryan thought for a moment and said, "Actually... I can watch it from morning to night."

He blinked at Vader, his meaning very clear.

Wade laughed: "Okay! Then wait until you get tired of watching it, then stop. We can replay it two or three times... I'm sure a lot of people will like it."

Wizards' entertainment options are actually very limited.
