Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Claire carefully reached out her hand and gently shook hands with Wade. She still had an uneasy expression on her face, but she felt a little more relaxed.

A few minutes later.

The two sat outside the ice cream shop. Wade ordered two ice creams. He pushed one of them to Claire. The girl scooped up a small spoonful, put it in her mouth, then narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a very satisfied expression.

"It's delicious." She sighed and then smiled: "Thank you for treating me to ice cream."

"Nothing," Vader said.

"Um...what do you want me to do?"

Claire held the spoon and whispered, "As you can see, I am a werewolf transformed from an ordinary person. I don't know magic, and I'm not very strong... and I don't have any money."

Wade was silent for a moment, and seeing that Claire was very reserved and looked like she was about to run away at any time, he said:

"Actually, I want to study whether lycanthropy can be cured, so I need to find a werewolf who can cooperate... I just heard you say that you are willing to help test the medicine..."

Hearing Wade's purpose, Claire's eyes suddenly lit up, and before he could finish, she nodded and said, "Sure, sure! If you can stop turning into a werewolf, I'll do anything for you!"

"But drug testing can be dangerous... and the reward I can offer is not very high..."

Seeing that she was very active, Wade said in a difficult manner.

Claire gritted her teeth and said, "It's okay, I don't need any money!"

"How can that be possible? I definitely can't let you work for nothing."

Wade smiled and said, "In fact, this kind of research is best done with a reference group. Can you introduce that magical companion to join our research? This way I can eliminate the interference of magic and find out what causes lycanthropy."

"Will..." Claire hesitated for a moment before saying, "Will may not be able to do this. He has work to do... Can I introduce other werewolves to you? They also have magic."

"Well, either is fine." Wade said casually, "Do you know a lot of werewolves?"

"We have our own community and we can help each other on weekdays. Because... you know, most wizards can't accept the existence of werewolves." Claire said as naturally as possible.

"How do you make a living?" Wade asked.

"I usually find some odd jobs in ordinary cities, such as working as a restaurant waiter or handing out flyers." Claire said softly, "Because I can't work before and after the transformation, I am often fired."

"What about when you transform?"

"Just lock myself up in advance. I'll also take a few sleeping pills... but they don't work very well. I heard that the water of life and death is very effective, but... the potion is too expensive..."

Claire tried to smile, as if to say 'It's nothing', and her fingers unconsciously stretched her sleeves until they covered the backs of her hands.

In July, she was still wearing long sleeves and long pants, with an old scarf around her neck.

But even so, Vader could see that she had a long, thin scar near her ear.

He remembered some of the things he had read about werewolves in books.

For example, on a full-moon night, a werewolf will become extremely brutal after transforming, and will indiscriminately attack anyone within sight, even if they are relatives or friends.

The Ministry of Magic stipulates that werewolves must lock themselves up on full moon nights to avoid harming others.

However, werewolves without a target to attack will not calm down. The manic and bloodthirsty desires are still boiling in their blood. They will only be calmer if they are accompanied by other animals.

If they are not accompanied, they will turn on themselves, until they wake up in the morning, scarred and restored to human form, while remembering all their actions after wolf transformation.

This process is obviously going to be very painful.

Therefore, law-abiding werewolves will appear more haggard and weak, while werewolves who indulge themselves will gradually lose their humanity.

The effect of wolfsbane potion is to allow the werewolf to remain rational after transformation, not to hurt others or himself, and to spend the night peacefully.

Even so, this period was very difficult to endure, so Lupin always looked particularly weak in the days after his transformation. It was not until Sirius was released from prison and always accompanied him that Lupin regained his health.

It was not until this moment that Wade suddenly understood why he felt something was wrong the first time he saw Will, but he didn't know where the problem was.

——That person’s mental state is too high.

Although he was as thin as Lupin in the past, he did not have any dark or depressed mood. On the contrary, he was very enthusiastic and his smile was so bright that it even made Vader feel aggressive.

Of course, we can’t say that someone has a problem just because he has a cheerful personality... After all, Will might be a born e-person who can face any setbacks and hardships happily.

Or maybe he just expressed his cheerfulness in a more exaggerated form because his living conditions had improved recently.

Wade gently stroked the handle of his wand, and many thoughts suddenly came to his mind.

"Um... Mr. Werner..."

Claire finished her ice cream and whispered, "When do I start work? Do I need to prepare anything?"

Wade had just found an excuse to strike up a conversation and was about to deal with it casually, but before he opened his mouth, he saw Claire's eyes.

Her eyes were filled with strong desire, hoping that what he said casually would come true, but she seemed to know in her heart that it was impossible.

Therefore, in those eyes, there was dependence and pleading, but also deep fear.

Chapter 292 Dang!

Wade paused, took out a blank friend's book from his pocket and handed it over, asking, "Do you know how to use it?"

Claire swallowed, took it carefully, and said, "Maybe... you know? I've seen others use it..."

Wade nodded, "Write your name on it so you can contact me. I have other work these days, so I'll contact you in about a week."

"Okay, I know……"

Claire thought for a moment and added, "I'll contact the other werewolves."

"I will also prepare the contract... What is your full name?" Vader asked.

"Griffin. My name is Claire Griffin."

Claire said with a smile.

……

After returning from Diagon Alley, Sirius's house had an extra streaming mirror, and Harry went to watch the show every day.

Later, Wade placed two mirrors in his own house and Moody's house.

"Is this the magic TV?" Ferdinand turned behind the mirror and said in surprise, "There really are no cables?"

"Really?" Fiona also walked around the TV, then turned to Wade and asked, "What kind of energy does it rely on?"

Ferdinand smiled at her and said, "Of course it's magic, dear."

"Ah! Yes!" Fiona clapped her hands, and then exclaimed: "Wade, did you really invent this? How did you do it?"

"Hmm..." Wade thought for a while before saying, "To put it simply, it's mainly about using spells to connect different mirrors so that they show the same picture at the same time..."

Fiona nodded, not quite understanding: "Well, anyway... magic is amazing."

"Is this Quidditch?"

Ferdinand quickly immersed himself in the TV program.

They already knew the rules of Quidditch, but this was their first time watching a game.

"Flying so high?" Fiona was frightened by the height of the player and said worriedly, "What if he falls..."

Before she could finish her words, the two people in the picture collided violently with each other, and then fell straight down like a kite with a broken string.

The couple exclaimed at the same time, Fiona grabbed her husband's arm tightly, and the two subconsciously leaned together, interlocking their fingers.

The two fallen players hovered very close to the ground, and were then hurriedly carried away with blood all over their faces.

Wade consoled him, "The audience and players of Quidditch matches are all wizards, so it's easy to control the situation if an accident occurs. There are also special healer rescue teams in professional matches, so deaths rarely occur."

Fiona's eyes widened. "-Rarely? That means it happened? And more than once?"

Vader: "Uh..."

"Even if they didn't fall to the ground, the speed at which they collided would have been enough to break their cervical vertebrae and rupture their internal organs." Ferdinand looked at Wade with relief and said, "Fortunately, you didn't participate in this kind of competition."

Vader: ...

In fact, when he was in school, he would ride a broom up and down the tower almost every day.

Of course, during normal flying, his speed does not need to be very fast, let alone comparable to the fierce competitive professional competitions.

But when he transforms into a peregrine falcon, his speed can reach two or three times that of a broomstick.

Vader thought for a moment, then skipped over himself and turned to talk about Harry.

"…He joined the Gryffindor team in his first year, and once fell from fifty feet and only broke his arm…"

Fiona: "Oh my god! Isn't he scared? If it were me, I would never dare to ride a broom again!"

"For Harry, this is just child's play in his experience." Wade said, "In June, he also participated in the activity of exterminating the Millennium Basilisk..."

Ferdinand: "What?!"

Vader: "...Millennium Basilisk."

As they were talking, the Quidditch game ended and a huge basilisk suddenly appeared on the mirror. Under its bloody eyes, its long fangs seemed to be dripping with venom.

——Aslan's Magic Workshop has not prepared many programs at present, so the wonderful clips will naturally be played repeatedly. Anyway, the audience will still enjoy watching them.

Moreover, the streaming mirror is different from the TV. The images it presents are like those in a real mirror. They look very real. The basilisk seems to be right in front of them and may rush out of the mirror at any time!

The Grays were startled again, and Ferdinand subconsciously stood in front of Fiona.

Then they saw Harry rushing in to fight. Compared to the basilisk, he was so tiny.

"Is this the basilisk?" Fiona exclaimed, "Is the principal of your school crazy?"

"No... We carried out the activity only when safety was guaranteed..." Wade didn't know why his voice was a little weak: "And in the end, no deaths were caused..."

He suddenly realized that his ideas had deviated a little without him realizing it.

Wade was already used to accidents of all sizes in the wizarding world. In his opinion, as long as they didn't die or suffer irreversible damage, it was basically just a matter of a bottle of potion.

But for his parents who live in the world of ordinary people, the scene of the basilisk slapping people away is very horrifying. Considering that the "warriors" who shouted charge were all teenagers, it was almost cruel.

If they could see the live broadcast of the Potions class, I don't know how many sharp explosions would be heard during the class, and 999 would be flooded with calls.

Fiona immediately became alert: "Weid, you are not participating too?"

"No." Wade said immediately: "Look, there is no me in the picture at all."
