Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Wade picked up the sandwich and said, "I have to go to Remus's house first, and then I have an appointment with Marchionne."

"Oh... the one at Aslan's magic workshop..." Michael suddenly realized, and then said, "Then we will split up when the time comes. When you are done, see you at the Three Broomsticks?"

"Okay." Wade nodded.

After breakfast, the two arrived at the school gate. Filch was checking the list of people entering and leaving the school, guarding against those younger students who took the opportunity to slip out.

Several girls were queuing up to pass through the gate. One of them saw Michael and Wade approaching and suddenly raised her voice:

"Honestly, Parvati, there's nothing much to look forward to at tonight's feast. Do you remember the last dance at Sam's house? I thought it was awesome!"

"I remember that boy named Charlie asked you to dance!" Parvati giggled. "He was so nervous that he almost tripped over himself!"

"Yeah, don't you think he's cute?" Padma said, glancing at Michael behind her out of the corner of her eye.

Wade looked to the side and saw Michael staring straight at Filch, as if he hadn't heard anything at all.

"pass."

Filch said with a gloomy expression. Padma snorted and pulled her sister Parvati towards the carriage next to her.

Several girls left in the same carriage, and some turned around and waved to them.

"What's going on between you and Padma?" Vader asked at this time.

Michael sighed, "Do you know Eric from seventh grade? He published a paper in Transfiguration Today and was so happy that he held a small dance in the common room a few days ago. Many people attended."

"and then?"

"Lydia from the fourth grade asked me to dance—"

Chapter 371: Hogsmeade Weekend

Michael felt that if he refused the girl's invitation, it would be very embarrassing for her, so he accepted it.

In fact, Michael has always maintained good relationships with many girls, and Padma knew it. But for some reason, Padma was very angry this time, and even proposed to break up after a big fight.

Michael tried his best to act nonchalant, shrugged and said, "You know, it's normal to have fights when you're in a relationship. We just need to calm down."

Wade handed the application to Filch and nodded and smiled at the administrator.

"pass."

After the two walked out of the door, Wade asked Michael: "So when you heard Padma say that silly 'Charlie' was cute, how did you feel?"

Michael stopped talking, his face slightly gloomy, his lips stretched into a straight line.

"Think about it, Michael," Vader said. "I remember you told me before that you saw Padma in the Mirror of Erised... Don't forget what you really want."

Michael climbed onto the carriage with his head down, and then saw Wade looking at the front of the carriage, then reaching out and touching something in the air.

He knew it was a Thestral, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only see empty air.

After a while, Neville hurriedly ran into the carriage, accompanied by Hermione.

"Ah, luckily there are still carriages left." Neville said thankfully, "I forgot that today is the Hogsmeade weekend. Fortunately, Hermione called me when she was leaving."

"Hermione?" Michael asked curiously, "You didn't go with Harry and Ron?"

Although they didn't get along very well at the beginning, after more than two years, Hermione formed a fixed pair with Harry and Ron. After all, they were classmates in the same college, and many conflicts were resolved by spending time together from morning to night.

"Don't mention it!" Hermione said angrily, "I don't want to hear Ron's name today!"

Michael looked up at the sky intently, and several people couldn't help but look up as well.

"What are you looking at?" Wade asked in confusion, seeing that there were no clouds in the sky, not even a bird.

"I want to see the phase of the moon today—" Michael said solemnly, "Is today a special day? Everyone tends to become grumpy."

Neville took it seriously. He looked at the sky again and said seriously, "But - there is no moon in the sky now!"

Hermione, who had a stern face, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then she explained why.

Hermione bought a cat as a pet this year and named it Crookshanks. Although the cat's appearance is not cute at all, Hermione loves it very much.

Ever since Scabbers turned into a bald man, Ron has kept his distance from creatures like rats.

Last Christmas, Wade gave everyone a puppet pet. Ron got a teacup dog, which was about the size of a mouse, but cute and well-behaved. It could roll around and look for things, so it was naturally Ron's favorite.

As a result, when they were returning from class yesterday, they saw Crookshanks holding the teacup dog in his mouth, as if he was going to bite it.

Ron completely forgot that it was a puppet, rushed forward to snatch his pet from the cat's mouth, and yelled at Crookshanks to get out.

Hermione chose to defend her cat without hesitation:

"You scared it, Ron! They're just playing, and the golems can't be hurt by this!"

One of them thought the other was making a fuss, and the other thought the other was not taking good care of his pet. The students around them watched them quarreling and laughed.

Everyone else thought it was funny, but the person involved didn't.

Ron was so angry that he didn't talk to Hermione the whole day. When they were going to Hogsmeade village today, he took Harry and a few other boys with him and set off first.

Hermione didn't have a good relationship with most of the girls in Gryffindor, and she didn't know how to please others, so she deliberately dawdled for a while in the morning and only set off after everyone else had left.

Finally she passed the common room and saw only Neville who thought Hogsmeade weekend was tomorrow.

Like most other classmates, Michael felt that their quarrel was a bit exaggerated, but at this time he was Hermione's friend, so he naturally stood on Hermione's side and condemned Ron.

As they were talking, Weed suddenly asked, "Khalil also went to Hogsmeade? Who signed his application?"

"Caryl?" Hermione thought for a while before saying, "I didn't notice it, but he also submitted an application form... Professor McGonagall should know."

"It was Dumbledore." Neville suddenly said in a muffled voice: "I saw him when he passed by me."

"Dumbledore?" Michael wondered, "Is the headmaster his guardian?"

"I don't know, there must be a reason, right?"

Hermione said casually, she was still mad at Ron.

Vader frowned slightly, but said nothing.

——Dumbledore certainly had his reasons for making such an arrangement.

Although Vader didn't understand, he couldn't say that this was wrong.

……

"Want to hear the sound of your teeth chattering? Then you must have two ice mice! And this super bubble gum - I guarantee that its bubbles will last at least five days!"

Frum, the owner of Honeydukes, was enthusiastically selling his products to students. When he saw a student standing nearby just watching but with no intention of buying, he realized something.

He took out a basket of fragrant milk candies and enthusiastically distributed them to the students in the store:

"This is a sample of our new fudge. It tastes different than anything you've ever had before! Try it, kids!"

A handful of candy was stuffed into Khalil's hands. He was holding obviously twice as much candy as others. He looked up and saw the owner smiling and nodding at him, then distributing samples to other children.

Khalil felt the little change in his pocket and made up his mind to take out a handful of Nat: "I want to buy this lollipop."

In fact, when they arrived in the UK, they had a large amount of funds for the operation, including a lot of money from both the wizarding world and the Muggle world.

But of course the money would not be kept with Caryl. When those three men died or escaped, and Caryl was caught and brought back by Dumbledore, he only had a few Knuts on him.

Dumbledore gave Caryl a bag of money according to the school's standard for supporting poor students. But considering that this was his fund for one semester, Caryl naturally had to spend it frugally.

"Bloody lollipop?" the shopkeeper said, "This flavor is quite bizarre, and usually only vampires like it - are you sure you want to buy it?"

"I want to try," Khalil insisted.

A few minutes later, Khalil, holding a lollipop with a strong smell of blood, restrained himself from looking at the necks of his classmates around him, and observed the surrounding buildings curiously.

Last time, they were hiding very close to Hogsmeade, but they had no chance to walk into the village and could only see a small area through the lens of the stream mirror.

But Hogsmeade is different today. It is packed with Hogwarts students, and all the shops display their best merchandise to welcome these customers.

Therefore, there are many tourists in the village, some of whom are parents who come here specifically to visit their children.

Because it was also Halloween Eve, the whole street was decorated with Halloween costumes, huge pumpkins could be seen everywhere, and pale skeletons were placed outside many windows.

A ghost disguised itself as a sunny doll, hanging under the eaves and dangling. Sometimes it would suddenly scream, scaring the students nearby.

There were also some magical bats hovering in groups on the streets. The students watched with joy, only occasionally bending down to avoid the flying bats.

Some bats hang under the eaves, like a string of wind chimes that don't ring. I guess at night, the Halloween atmosphere here will be even stronger.

Khalil smiled sarcastically at the sight of the decorative bats and lowered his head to crunch his lollipop.

Before he knew it, he bumped head-on into a pedestrian on the road.

"I'm sorry." Khalil apologized, not caring much, walked around the other person and prepared to move forward.

When we passed each other, the other party suddenly asked: "Is it enough to just apologize?"

The hoarse voice sounded familiar, and it was accompanied by a slight smile.

Khalil raised his head suddenly and saw a man with extremely pale skin standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile.

The man had a noticeable tattoo on his face. Perhaps because of this, he wore a large hood to hide his face.

Kari immediately showed a surprised expression, and just as he was about to speak, the man raised his finger and shook his head slightly.

Khalil shut up and just followed the other person, going around and around, until they came to the corner of the village.

It was a very quiet place, with the surrounding houses hidden among the trees and the noise from the commercial street almost completely inaudible.

As they approached, the door of a house was suddenly opened, and a plump woman in a gray dress and with her hair tied up walked out quickly, looking at Khalil with surprise.

She covered her mouth and cried with joy: "That's great... Khalil, you're still alive..."

Khalil couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed over to hug her: "Mom——"

The tattooed man looked around and pushed them into the house: "Let's talk inside. There are spies of British wizards here."

Walking into the house, Caryl asked in surprise and joy, "Dad, Mom, why are you here in Hogsmeade?"
