Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"Yes, Sirius." Lupin also said, "If you don't give yourself some breathing space, I think you're going to die suddenly."

Sirius raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, but said: "On the way back, I was thinking that even if Lockhart or that Gal was exposed, it would be difficult for us to catch Peter."

"Oh, why?" asked Harry.

"Just because three people escaped from prison together doesn't mean that they are tied together from now on."

Sirius said, "With Peter's cautiousness, there's no way he would stay with someone like Lockhart for long."

Lupin nodded slightly without refutation, obviously agreeing with his point of view.

Wei De asked curiously: "Since you know this, why are you still tracking down those two people?"

"Because Peter is very likely to have followed them from the sidelines after they separated, observing the Ministry of Magic's pursuit of the three."

Lupin said thoughtfully: "In his eyes, those two people are just bait he put out in the open."

"So finding them is equivalent to finding Peter. It just requires more concealment and caution."

Sirius concluded, before biting into a piece of roast meat with a ferocious look on his face.

As Wade cut the fried egg, he thought - should he just "resurrect" Peter Pettigrew?

And then die again in front of Sirius.

Otherwise, Sirius might never be able to let go of this matter in his life.

Even Harry and Lupin...even if they rarely showed it, they certainly wouldn't tolerate Peter getting away with it.

Chapter 318 New Books and Firebolts

After breakfast, Harry took two envelopes from the cupboard, handed one to Wade, and opened his own.

"Huh?" Harry made a surprised sound. "The list of books for Defense Against the Dark Arts is the same as last year?"

Wade also opened it and took a look.

The book listed in the bibliography was naturally not the full "Gilderoy Lockhart", but "Defence and Stunning Spells", the textbook that Professor Abigail asked to buy last year.

"It looks like Professor Abigail will be teaching us again this year," Wade said. "I wonder how long she can stay."

"I hope she'll keep teaching this course," Harry said hopefully. "What she teaches is really useful."

Vader shook his head secretly.

Abigail only attended classes for two months last semester before she was on vacation, so she was able to leave Hogwarts safely.

If she continues to teach this school year, I wonder if she will be able to make it until the Christmas holidays.

Wade felt a little gloomy in his heart - this professor...

"Well, no surprises there - The Standard Book of Spells, Grade Three, of course. Then there's Intermediate Transfiguration, The Monster Book of Monsters, Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles, and Clearing the Mist to Reveal the Future. And... um? What is this? The Monster Book of Monsters?"

Harry flipped through the list and said to himself, "No wonder Hagrid gave me this for my birthday. That leaves only five new books I need to buy."

"I have both The Standard Book of Spells and Intermediate Transfiguration. I can give them to you directly." Wade said, "You just need to buy the remaining three books."

Harry said in surprise: "Really? Thank you! Then I'll pay for your new book this time - don't be polite to me!"

"Okay!" Wade smiled and agreed.

What he gave was not only two old books, but also the "study notes" attached to them, which were very helpful for the third grade course learning.

Even though Harry had good grades, who would say no to something that would make studying easier?

Harry, in a good mood, came over to look at Wade's book list and said, "I remember you have twelve subjects to study. Do you need to buy those books?"

Wade showed him the list of books and said, "I already have 'Ancient Magical Rune Simple Introduction' and 'Magic Rune Dictionary'. The only other book is 'Digital Divination and Graphics'."

Harry took a look and said sincerely, "Honestly, I lost the desire to open the book after seeing the name... I don't know how you could continue reading it."

“It is as interesting to explore the essence of magic and to interpret it with mathematics and magic words as the magic itself.”

Seeing that Harry's eyes had begun to wander, Wade smiled and said, "I originally thought you weren't going to take Muggle Studies!"

"I used to think that Muggle Studies courses were unnecessary, but after taking Professor Abigail's class, I feel that I don't actually understand Muggle society—"

Harry thought of those terrible weapons with lingering fear, and said: "I just know some common sense better than most wizards, but I don't know the rest either."

In fact, if possible, Harry also hopes to be able to take all the courses like Hermione and Wade.

However, he had read the ancient magic books and notes that Wade placed on the table several times. Not only could he not understand them at all, he even started yawning when he tried to finish the first paragraph. Professor Bibbins' hypnosis class was effective.

As for divination by numbers... Unfortunately, I am not very good at math.

The courses he really wanted to take were Muggle Studies and Care of Magical Creatures, the former because of Professor Abigail's course, and the latter because Graling Farm left a very good impression on him.

Harry once thought that it would be great if he could become a protector of magical creatures like Mr. Steven (Professor Murray's son), and that would make him very happy.

But as he flew up into the sky on his broom, his dream of becoming a member of the national Quidditch team overwhelmed everything else.

As for Divination, Harry simply added it to make up the numbers because he heard that it was easy to get good marks in this course.

In this way, if the grades of other courses are not good, at least the scores in the divination class can save a little dignity.

……

Now that they had received the book list, Wade and the others set out again to Diagon Alley to buy books.

This time, they were surprised to find that most of the shops in Diagon Alley had a mirror inside, in order to attract customers who were just planning to pass by to come in and stop.

After an initial promotional phase, Marchionne has begun broadcasting Muggle television programs on StreamMirror.

The film being played today was a famous silent comedy. Although there was no sound in the mirror, the entire Diagon Alley was filled with happy laughter.

Even in Tom's Leaky Cauldron, there was a streaming mirror disguised as an ordinary TV, but the old bartender had no intention of using it to attract customers. Instead, he was so happy looking at the streaming mirror that he even forgot to pretend to wipe the wine glasses.

Passing through the Leaky Cauldron, whose hygiene was in questionable condition, and entering the bustling Diagon Alley, Wade could occasionally hear children pleading:

"Just buy one, Mom! Even the cheapest one will do..."

"Wait a little longer, buy it when your dad gets his salary next month."

"Then I'll have to come to Diagon Alley tomorrow!"

"Floo powder costs two Sickles a spoonful. If you stay here for a few more days, one Galleon will be gone..."

There were many children in Diagon Alley waiting outside the shops, eagerly watching the shows in the stores.

The only thing more attractive than the flow mirror is the new broom on display at the Quidditch boutique -

The best broomstick, the Firebolt.

The Bugatti of the magical world, it can accelerate to 150 miles per hour in less than ten seconds.

Harry was captivated by it almost the moment he saw it, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

Without saying a word, Sirius walked into the store and bought this incredibly expensive broom for Harry, patting his head and saying:

"Take it, just think of it as my early Christmas present to you."

Harry hugged his broom, his eyes shining, and he was breathless with excitement.

"One hundred and fifty miles in ten seconds... this is too fast. Without any protection, can the human body withstand it?"

Wei De muttered to himself, and at the same time placed an order to buy one.

He didn't really need such a fast broom, the Peregrine Falcon could sprint much faster over short distances... but this was a Firebolt!

Even if he didn't ride it, it would be nice to keep it at home as a collection. He didn't need the money anyway. As third graders, school rules also allowed them to bring brooms to school.

Then, Lupin took out some money and gave each of them a box of broom maintenance tools, which were also very expensive.

Lupin had a good salary and now had a large amount of savings, which made him seem more relaxed, and the shabby air that once permeated his flesh and blood had almost completely disappeared.

This also led to a person standing not far away across the street, watching for a long time, still unsure whether he had recognized the wrong person.

I owe you one more chapter, I will make up for it later

Chapter 319: The Monster Book of Monsters

Compared to the ever-changing Muggle cities, changes in the wizarding world always seem particularly slow.

In recent years, apart from the fact that Aslan's Magic Workshop produces something new every year and triggers new trends, other trends in Diagon Alley have hardly changed, as if they were all NPCs that refreshed at fixed locations.

Therefore, Wade and his companions followed almost the same process as every time in the past: they went to the robe shop to order new robes, went to the potion shop to replenish materials, and went to the bookstore to buy books.

In the window of the bookstore, there was a large iron cage filled with hundreds of copies of "Monster Books of Monsters". They were biting and fighting each other ferociously inside, just like a group of crabs with bared fangs and claws.

——Books are fighting in groups. Has anyone ever seen that?

Pieces of paper flew everywhere and hoarse roars were heard one after another, but the wizards seemed to be accustomed to it and walked past without even looking.

But even though Wade and Harry already had the book given by Hagrid, they still stopped to look at it.

At this moment, a student was buying books with a list in hand. The bookstore manager, wearing thick gloves and holding a knotty cane, was beating the student like he was driving away a group of vicious dogs snatching food, while roaring angrily.

While the monster books were retreating and avoiding, the manager quickly grabbed the book closest to him.

As he retracted his hand, a book next to him jumped up without warning, and sharp teeth opened between the pages and bit towards the manager's arm!

"careful!"

As Harry shouted, he shook his wand subconsciously, and a red light hit the monster book, causing it to fly backwards with a bang.

Harry himself was stunned. He stared blankly at the book that flew out, and then looked at his wand.

While he was in a daze, the manager quickly retracted his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could thank him, he saw another little wizard also draw out his wand and wave it -

All the monster books suddenly stopped moving, and then fell to the ground with a clatter. They were then tied up one by one with ropes that appeared out of nowhere, and finally piled up into a neat pile.

The monster books were still struggling and shaking, and their covers were slapping loudly, but they could no longer bite people or run around.

The manager was stunned again. He looked at the crazy books that had finally calmed down, and then looked at the two little wizards who were obviously not very old. They had dull expressions and were speechless for a long time.

"Vader, Harry!"

The student who came out of the bookstore after buying the book turned out to be Rolf Scamander.

He said happily: "You are here to buy books too! I never thought I could meet you here!"

"Hey, Rolf." Wade asked curiously, "Are you here to buy "The Monster Book of Monsters" too?"
