Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"We finally found a job with high salary and little work..." Lockhart was reluctant to leave.

"If you want to go back to Azkaban, then you can stay! I'm leaving anyway."

After saying this, Gal decisively left along a path.

"Wait for me!" Lockhart hurriedly followed, saying, "How long will we keep hiding like this? Why don't you come with me to Telford? There is a fan there who adores me very much. She will definitely be willing to help us."

"Don't forget that your deception has been exposed!" Gal said bluntly, "All those who admired you in the past have been deceived by you. Maybe they hate you more than anyone else now!"

Lockhart was speechless, then asked: "So what do you think we should do?"

"Come to think of it... I know a vampire. He's my uncle." Gal said thoughtfully, "Maybe we can go and seek refuge with him..."

……

Wade didn't know that he had just passed by the two fugitives he was looking for.

The two of them returned to Sirius's house. Harry was obviously very happy because he had been beaten up by someone he hated, and he talked about his past experiences in a nostalgic tone.

"I once jumped onto the school chimney because they chased me... I've never jumped so high before!"

Harry said with regret: "Why can't I jump more than ten meters high when I didn't know I had magic, but I can't jump up after learning magic?"

"Because ignorant children are more likely to create miracles, perhaps because their minds are free?"

Sirius, who happened to be coming down from upstairs, heard what he said and continued, "But grown-up wizards are able to control their own power."

There was still some soot on his body, and it was obvious that he had just made a trip to 12 Grimmauld Place through the fireplace to return the portrait of Regulus.

Wade thought for a moment and said, "If an adult completely loses his memory and his mind is as pure as a piece of white paper like a baby, can he have two qualities at the same time? He can do something special with his will like a child, and he can quickly master his own power."

Sirius blinked for a moment before saying, "It's an interesting idea... but you have to find an adult with amnesia to verify it first, right?"

"Actually, there are." Lupin came out of the kitchen with a plate in his hand and said, "- the kind of person you are talking about, who has both qualities."

"Really? Who?" Harry asked curiously.

"Credence Barebone, an Obscurial who lived to adulthood, wreaked havoc in New York City, USA, many years ago, and later died."

Lupin said, "I once read his story in an old newspaper, and I think he is the kind of person you are talking about."

"What is the Obscurial? What kind of person is that?" Harry demanded.

"It's a long story, but it's lunch time," Lupin asked. "Who's going to help set the table?"

The three people sitting on the sofa stood up together.

Chapter 287 Mr. Will of Diagon Alley

After dinner, the task of washing dishes was given to the puppet, and everyone sat together to listen to Lupin telling the story he had summarized from reading old newspapers -

"I don't know much about that person either, because their story happened in the United States and France in the 1930s, and there weren't many reports from the UK."

This is Lupin's opening statement.

"No wonder I've never heard of it..." Sirius muttered, "We weren't even born at that time!"

He calculated the time and found that his parents were just born at that time. However, Sirius hated his parents and didn't want to mention them.

"Credence Barebone was raised by an anti-wizard society of Muggles. He became an Obscurial because of the abuse he suffered as a child, and was lucky enough to survive into adulthood."

Lupin said: "The reason I want to know his story is because I saw a sentence in an old notebook - Credence Barebone is the only one who can defeat Albus Dumbledore..."

Lupin told the part of the story he knew.

Wade had seen that part of the memory about the movie series from the Pensieve before, but at this moment, he still listened carefully.

The same story can be more interesting when viewed from different people's perspectives.

Lupin...or rather the British journalist who wrote the report at the time, did not know that Credence was actually also a Dumbledore.

He is Aurelius Dumbledore, the son of Aberforth Dumbledore. He was separated from his father since childhood and his mother died early. His life is a tragedy in capital letters.

During his tortured childhood, although Credence had great magical potential, he did not become a wizard. Instead, he became an Obscurial with dark powers. As a result, he was manipulated by Gellert Grindelwald and died tragically.

The uninformed British media exaggerated the destruction caused by the man in New York and played up the atmosphere of terror in Europe during Grindelwald's reign. Their original intention was only to highlight the power and greatness of Dumbledore, who ended it all.

For people at that time, the savior of the wizarding world had nothing to do with a little boy with a scar on his forehead. It was Albus Dumbledore who brought peace to the wizarding world, so they did not hesitate to use the most exaggerated words to praise Dumbledore.

But I think Dumbledore himself would not like to see such reports.

Those achievements praised by outsiders were built on the bones of his blood relatives.

Therefore, at least in the UK, there were not many reports about those deeds, and they were not very detailed. Even if Lupin deliberately searched for them, he could only understand the surface.

But even so, Harry was already very fascinated.

He had never thought about what Dumbledore was like when he was young, but after listening to Lupin's story, he had only one thought in his mind -

This is Dumbledore!

In the dangerous war years, he fearlessly defeated powerful enemies one after another. No matter how the enemies threatened, tempted, and intimidated him, he always adhered to his principles and protected countless weak and innocent people.

He had a secret desire in his heart, longing to become a wizard like Dumbledore, but it seemed that even speaking out such an idea required courage.

As they were preparing to go to Diagon Alley, Harry said to Wade:

"Gellert Grindelwald, Credence, Voldemort... It's hard to imagine how many evil wizards Dumbledore has fought against in his life."

"I once heard a saying -" Vader said: "If the heroes of an era are very dazzling, it means that this era is also very dark."

"Huh?" Harry was stunned for a moment. This was an angle he had never thought of before.

Wade continued, "Peace should be fought for by all those who yearn for peace...If the peace of the entire world rests on the shoulders of one person, it is hard to imagine how hard it would be for him."

Harry fell silent.

For a long time he said nothing, except when he entered the fireplace.

Amid the flickering green flames, everyone arrived at Diagon Alley once again.

It’s still the same process as before – withdraw money, buy necessities, then go shopping for something you like, or have a drink or something.

In the past two years, Aslan's Magic Workshop has always been the busiest shop in Diagon Alley. Many foreign wizards have traveled all the way to Britain just to purchase goods from Aslan's Magic Workshop.

So after buying the potion ingredients from the pharmacy, everyone went to the magic workshop.

From a distance, I saw a group of people gathered there.

"Come with me," said Lupin. "I know a side door that the staff use to get in."

He often had to represent Wade in liaising with people in the magic workshop, so he was very familiar with this place.

Several people followed Lupin, wandering around, and entered from a place that looked like the back door of a house, where they saw several people moving boxes.

"Hey, private residence, please no…Remus?!"

A staff member was about to drive them away, but when he saw Lupin, he immediately smiled in surprise.

He walked over quickly and gave me a strong hug instead of a handshake.

"Long time no see! I've been wondering when we can meet again!"

Wade and the others looked at this man curiously. He was wearing the blue and yellow work clothes of the workshop. He was tall and thin, with sparse hair. He looked malnourished, but his smile was enthusiastic to the extreme.

"Hello, Will, how have you been lately?" Lupin also smiled and hugged the other person.

"Great! It's never been this good! Half a year ago, I couldn't imagine that I could still live such a good life!"

Will said cheerfully, noting the people around Lupin: "Who are these..."

"Oh, let me introduce you..."

"Wait, wait! Don't tell me yet, let me guess!"

Before Lupin could finish his words, he was interrupted by Will, who looked at everyone with his slightly bulging eyes, starting with Sirius.

Will took a serious look and held out his hand: "You must be Mr. Sirius Black! I have always admired you very much! Your experience has given me a lot of strength and courage!"

"Uh...thank you?" Sirius shook hands with him somewhat awkwardly but also somewhat happily.

Then Will looked down and saw a pair of emerald green eyes and a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead.

He immediately showed an expression of astonishment, like a startled frog.

"No need to say! No need to say - Harry Potter! Our savior!"

He bent low and shook Harry's hand vigorously.

Harry's scalp tingled and he almost jumped up. He said hurriedly, "Hello, Mr. Will."

"It's an honor to meet you! Can you sign an autograph for me?" Will continued to hold Harry's hand.

"Okay, Will, you're going to scare him."

Lupin's words rescued Harry from his embarrassing situation, and Will turned his eyes to the last person.

Wade narrowed his eyes slightly and took the initiative to say, "No need to guess, my name is Wade Grey, nice to meet you, Mr. Will."

Will looked at his hand, then slowly took it, bending even lower.

"I am very grateful to you, Mr. Grey."

"You may not know me...but you gave me a second chance."

Chapter 288 Reputation

"Freshman?" Harry repeated the word oddly.

"Yes." Will smiled gratefully. "I am... uh, I have the same little problem as Remus -"

He smiled widely, showing his pointy teeth.

Suddenly they understood—he was also a werewolf.

"…Because of this, it was difficult for me to find a job and I almost starved to death… Later, Remus contacted us. He had made some money and was willing to sponsor us with the Wolfsbane Potion to help us return to normal society."

Will said gratefully, then looked at Wade and said, "Because Mr. Grey gave Remus a job, we also got help indirectly. So I said - you are the benefactor who gave me a second life."

Wade shook his head: "The one who helped you was not me, but Remus. I don't interfere with how he uses his salary..."
