Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"But there are ancient magic words on it..."

After the "ticking" sound disappeared, Vader heard Padma gathering outside the Ancient Magic Rune classroom, discussing the issue of the locked door.

I guess it’s not far away. I was walking towards this side with Hermione an hour ago, right?

Without hesitation, Vader transformed into a peregrine falcon, avoiding places where his past self might see him, and flew to the eighth floor of the main building with a single flap of his wings.

He entered the Room of Requirement and spent a few minutes finishing his homework for the Ancient Magic Runes class. Then he rested for half an hour before casting an Invisibility Charm and heading to the foyer.

"...Of course, if you can get a manticore, he'd be willing to be your half-brother."

The old him walked into the hallway, chatting and laughing with Michael.

Wei De knew how sharp he was, so he didn't get close. Instead, he followed like an ordinary student, not too far away.

It was not until the past Vader used the converter and disappeared from the spot that he lifted the Disillusionment Spell and walked over quickly.

"The Manticore is out of the question... but I'm going to borrow a couple of books about Hippogriffs. There must be someone writing about them—they're so beautiful! And so smart and human!"

Michael exclaimed: "I wish I could have one."

"You know what?" Vader replied, "Traveling on a Hippogriff is a violation of the Statute of Secrecy."

Michael frowned, then had another idea:

"I can cast a Disillusionment Charm on it, and myself of course - it won't be illegal if I'm not spotted!"

"Wake up, you are not a hippogriff."

"What if I get pregnant in the future? I have to be prepared..."

……

The evening light enveloped the small village of Hogsmeade, with only the noisy sounds coming from the tavern.

Suddenly, the door of the Three Broomsticks was pushed open, and a very tall figure walked in with his head lowered.

"Good evening, Hagrid!" said Madam Rosmerta, who was in the tavern, with a smile. "What would you like to drink?"

"Four pints of mead," said Hagrid. "Remember to add plenty of honey."

As he spoke, he looked around and found the gray-robed wizard sitting behind the decorative vines.

"It's been a while, Remus. What have you been up to?"

Hagrid walked over and sat down, and the chair groaned.

"Accompanying Sirius to track down Peter, and also investigating some things."

Lupin said briefly, frowning and looking unhappy: "I want to ask you something, Hagrid, about Hogwarts."

"What do you want to ask..." Hagrid was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered something and looked more apologetic. "By the way, I want to apologize to you about Harry. Although little Malfoy is indeed a bastard, most of this matter is my responsibility..."

"Oh... huh? What?" Lupin was startled: "What happened to Harry?"

Chapter 340 Hagrid: I can't remember

Hagrid was also stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "He is injured..."

He recounted the whole story, during which time Lady Rosmerta brought him the mead he had ordered.

After listening to this, Lupin sighed deeply, feeling proud and worried:

"Harry is much better than we were back then. He would even risk his life to save his enemies... He's just like James and Lily..."

"Yeah." Hagrid nodded vigorously and took a big sip of wine. "This time, thanks to Wade and Harry, otherwise I might not even be able to keep my job as a gamekeeper."

Lupin shook his head and said, "Malfoy's power is not that great. If he wants to get rid of you, he has to get rid of Dumbledore first."

"Yes, Professor Dumbledore has always trusted me... If I messed up on the first day, I don't know how to face him... Fortunately, my class today was very successful, and the children helped me a lot."

Hagrid said with emotion.

When he was first hired as a professor, he was so happy. But after he really started working, Hagrid realized that being a professor was very different from being a gamekeeper.

In the past, he only needed to patrol once or twice a day to make sure that the students in the school did not sneak into the Forbidden Forest and get hurt.

In your free time, you can grow vegetables, keep pets or raise livestock. You don’t have many responsibilities and you don’t have any worries.

He was very happy when he was the maze referee, and the students trusted him more and more. However, some children looked down on him and thought he was just a handyman hired by the school, which made Hagrid feel uncomfortable.

He thought that becoming a professor would earn him respect and love from his students, but in reality, the responsibilities of a professor, the scrutiny of his students, and the evaluations from the outside world all became a burden on Hagrid's mind.

How to prepare for class? How to assign homework? How to make those unruly students learn to abide by classroom rules?

Hagrid had so much to learn that he wanted to tell Dumbledore to give up several times, but he was too embarrassed to say it, so he could only grit his teeth and continue working hard.

Fortunately, today's class was very successful and the children responded very well, which helped Hagrid regain some confidence and began to feel that his efforts were useful...

Hagrid, under the influence of alcohol, chattered away all the troubles in his heart. Lupin listened carefully and gave him some advice from time to time.

"The Flobberworm is too outrageous, no student would like it. The Fire Crab is not bad, but you have to be careful about safety."

"Assignments don't have to be too complicated, just one paper per week will do... You can keep it simple at first, just a few inches will do..."

"If you don't know what to do, why don't you ask Professor Kettleburn? He lives in Hogsmeade, not far away."

"Professor Kettleburn has been teaching this course for decades. He must have encountered all kinds of situations and has extremely rich experience... and he is also very clear about what the Ordinary Wizard Level Examination and the Ultimate Wizard Level Examination will test..."

"That's right!" Hagrid agreed. "I'll go tomorrow morning... No, I have classes tomorrow morning... I'll go see Professor Kettleburn tomorrow at noon. He likes Norbeta very much. As long as I give him some of Norbeta's scales... Oh!"

Hagrid suddenly remembered that he had given all the dragon scales to Vader.

But it didn't matter. He could go find Norberta first - and take little Malfoy with him to complete the deal between them - pick up a few dragon scales, and then go find Professor Kettleburn.

Hagrid sorted out the things he had to do in his mind, and felt that the originally difficult things suddenly became clear and simple, and this was all thanks to Remus's advice...

Then he slowly remembered that Lupin had invited him because he had something to ask.

"By the way, Remus, what was your question?" Hagrid asked.

"That's it—"

Lupin put down the half-drunk pear soda, thought for a moment, and asked: "-I want to know, who is in school this summer?"

Hagrid put down his glass and thought for a long moment before saying:

"That's a lot, more than usual."

"Dumbledore, me, and Filch, we've always been here."

"There were also reporters from the Daily Prophet who came to interview him and took photos of the Chamber of Secrets and the snake slough. Professor McGonagall came with them... It seemed that because the basilisk's body was in Snape's hands, someone else went to interview Snape. He was also in school during those days..."

"Ilvermorny in the United States, Beauxbatons in France, and Durmstrang all sent professors to the school. It seems that they want to discuss something important. Most of the professors were in the school during those days."

"Are there any people coming from Ilvermorny?" asked Lupin.

If it was the other two schools, he would think of the Triwizard Tournament, which had been suspended for centuries. But with Ilvermorny added, Lupin was not sure.

"Yes, Ilvermorny," said Hagrid unhappily. "These people were wandering around the maze, and one of them tried to take our Bowtruckle away, but I stopped him... a bunch of thieves!"

"So... who came to Hogwarts between July 7th and July 16th?" Lupin asked.

Hagrid was stunned. He opened his mouth and thought hard. After a long while, he asked, "When did you say it was?"

Lu Ping: "..."

He asked again patiently:

"From July 7 to July 16, the Flow Mirror had just started to be sold in Diagon Alley. Do you remember that? The video of Harry and his friends defeating the ball python in the maze was also broadcast, and there must have been people discussing it in Hogsmeade a few days before that - you should have remembered it."

"Ah - no wonder there were so many owls flying here every day for a while! I was wondering - the students are not in school during the holidays, so who are those owls sending things to?"

Hagrid said in sudden realization.

Then he closed his mouth, frowned, and thought again and again.

Time passed minute by minute. After a long time, Hagrid shook his head apologetically: "I'm sorry, Remus, I really can't remember."

"I just remember a period of time when Aragog had a poor appetite. I was thinking about this all the time and didn't pay much attention to anything else."

Aragog is a giant eight-eyed spider raised by Hagrid since childhood. When Lupin and his three companions were still in school, they encountered the spider during their night tour of the Forbidden Forest.

Lupin had guessed from Hagrid's reaction. He sighed and said, "That's all."

He thought that few people would have the opportunity to come into contact with snake sloughs during the holidays, so it would be easy to identify the suspects. But when Hagrid said that Hogwarts was not idle during the summer vacation, Lupin did not hold out much hope.

So what if Hagrid remembered who had been there?

Hagrid also had to eat, rest and patrol. Perhaps Hagrid didn't see the person who commissioned Will when he entered and left the school.

The investigation has reached a deadlock...but no news, or perhaps good news.

Lupin tried to think positively, but he couldn't be so optimistic.

Chapter 341: Vader: Cry If You Are Sad

In the evening, when Hagrid met Lupin, Vader also arrived at the Umbrella House.

After entering the third grade, the additional courses made everyone's study pressure even greater. In order to complete the homework smoothly, everyone gathered in the umbrella house almost every night.

Although Hermione did not allow everyone to copy each other's homework, as long as you discuss with your friends, the paper that you originally had no idea about will become much easier to write.

Among them, Neville is always the last one to finish writing because of his slow reaction and poor memory, so he is usually the most serious and hardworking one.

But tonight, Wade found that Neville was not doing his homework at all. He didn't even open the book. Instead, he was in the practice room, casting spells over and over again at the wooden target.

"Expelliarmus! Stun! Flame! Stun!"

The light of the spell flew out, and the target standing there had several more cracks, but Neville did not stop.

He was so tired that he was sweating profusely. He supported himself on his knees and gasped for a while, then picked up the wand again.

Padma secretly peeked, then immediately retracted her head and shook her head at everyone.

Hermione sighed, and Harry also looked helpless.

Wade asked in confusion: "What happened to Neville today? Did he quarrel with Malfoy again?"

"No, it's Snape!" said Harry angrily, "He has always disliked us!"
