Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"Of course we're coming."

The plump woman touched Khalil and said distressedly: "We heard that your team had an accident, so we immediately set out from the United States, but we have never been able to find out your whereabouts. I thought... I thought..."

she cried.

The woman's tears left Khalil helpless. He said in a panic, "Don't cry, Mom. Look, I'm fine..."

He looked to his father for help, but saw the tattooed man sitting next to him, asking seriously:

"What happened at that time? Why were you exposed?"

Khalil asked in confusion: "Didn't Granwhite escape? He didn't report it?"

The tattooed man frowned. "Answer my question, Khalil!"

His tone was cold, making Khalil feel uncomfortable.

The plump woman explained, "Glenwhite was worried about leading the enemy to our base, so he sent a message and fled to Africa. There has been no news from us in this period."

"...Then he was a little too cautious. Dumbledore has already returned to school." Caryl said speechlessly.

"Oh my god, you met Dumbledore?"

The slightly plump woman said in horror: "How could this happen? Didn't the leader say that Dumbledore is probably the most powerful wizard now? Why did you provoke him as soon as you arrived?"

Thinking of the scene at that time, Khalil was still frightened. He swallowed his saliva and recalled what happened before.

"After arriving in England, Granwhite said that they had to first investigate the reason for the disappearance of the werewolf Will. The last mission they used gold powder failed... The failure was very strange. Granwhite suspected that someone had betrayed them."

"He said that we must first know what forces are against us, whether the British Ministry of Magic is involved, and how much information the missing Will has leaked, before we can proceed with the next step."

"Will has a diary... After investigating, Nelle found a very suspicious person——"

"Before Will disappeared, he found a well-paid job through a werewolf named Remus Lupin, and also received a considerable amount of financial support from him."

"And this Remus Lupin lives in Hogsmeade..."

"Dal was poisoned by a giant Acromantula, which is native to Southeast Asia. There is only one place in the UK where there are a large number of Acromantulas..."

His words were a little disorganized, but the tattooed man had understood what Granwhite was thinking at the time. He slowly said, "The Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts."

"Yes."

Khalil nodded: "Granwhite said the same thing."

"He believes that everything is related to Remus Lupin... and as a dangerous werewolf, he must have obtained permission from the school's top management to live so close to the school."

"Krammi suggested that if we could break the wizard's trust in the werewolf, we could force him to leave the protection of Hogwarts, which would make it easier to deal with him."

"Moreover, the werewolves in the UK have formed a mutual aid association and signed the Werewolf Code of Conduct with the Ministry of Magic. Kurami said that we need to remind these weak wizards in the UK of the dangers and cruelty of werewolves, so that we can help werewolves awaken..."

Khalil's mouth twitched slightly. Even as he was retelling it, he found the idea absurd.

They take action to destroy the werewolves' relatively peaceful lives, let wizards discriminate against and kill werewolves, and then they "help" the werewolves "awaken"?

——Do werewolves in the UK really need such "help"?

But Khalil had no right to question it. After Kurami finished speaking, Granwhite and Nelle both thought it was a good idea.

After he finished speaking, he deliberately observed his parents' expressions and found that they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this idea.

——Am I the one who is wrong for thinking that this approach is absurd?

"Did you use wolf hormones?" asked the tattooed man.

"Yes. Granwhite requested three when he set out, and one of them was used on Remus Lupin, who turned into a werewolf on the street..." said Caryl.

"But..." The slightly plump woman frowned in confusion and said, "It seems that this matter has not been reported?"

Caryl lowered his head and said, "There are some powerful guys in Hogsmeade, and Lupin was traveling with a Hogwarts professor at the time...so there were no casualties after the werewolf went berserk."

"Originally, Neller and Kurami took photos and recorded videos, but that night, Dumbledore suddenly found us..."

Carlile recalled that when they were driving to the new Muggle town, the car suddenly stopped halfway, and that scary wizard stood on the road with cold eyes, as if he had been waiting for a long time...

He couldn't help but shudder, his face turned pale, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes unconsciously revealed fear and tension.

Except for the ignorant Muggle driver, almost everyone in the car was scared out of their wits. They didn't even think of resisting, and rushed out of the car yelling and ran away.

Granwhite and Nelle could both Apparate, so they were able to escape that way successfully the first time - only Kurami had a finger severed - which was incredibly lucky.

But later, several people realized that it was not luck, but the beginning of a nightmare.

"We dare not rest or sleep. If we stop for a few minutes, that person will appear..."

"So you took him to the base in France?" the tattooed man suddenly asked.

Khalil was stunned for a moment before he defended himself: "There are only Muggles there. Neller said that out of consideration for the Statute of Secrecy, Dumbledore would definitely..."

"idiot!"

"Snapped!"

The burning pain on his face interrupted Khalil's next words and made his eyes go straight with a blank expression.

The tattooed man suddenly became furious, slapped Khalil, then stood up and kicked him out.

"Muggles! Muggles! You only know that they are Muggles. Why don't you think about why there are so many Muggles in the organization's base?"

The tattooed man roared, "Those are precious researchers, but because of you, they are out of the control of the organization! Even some of their precious research materials have been taken away. Do you know how great a loss that is?"

Khalil trembled slightly and remained silent.

The plump woman stopped the man who was about to hit him and said angrily, "How could you hit a child? What does Khalil know? All the decisions were made by Granwhite! Why are you taking your anger out on the child?"

She knelt down, gently stroked Khalil's head, and said comfortingly:

"Don't be afraid. Mom knows it's not your fault. Please also understand that your father couldn't control his bad temper. The French base suffered heavy losses, and the leader was very angry. Your father was under a lot of pressure coming here this time."

"And the reason why he rushed to this dangerous country was because he was worried about you and loved you. Khalil... can you forgive your father?"

Khalil raised his head, looked at his mother deeply, and after a long while he slowly nodded.

The tattooed man, whose chest was heaving, took a deep breath and finally calmed down. He reached out to Khalil to pull him up, and leaned over to pat the footprints on his chest.

"I'm sorry, kid."

The man's voice was low and hoarse. He blamed himself and said, "I was in a bad mood today, and I took out my anger on you, causing you to suffer."

Khalil lowered his head and said, "It's okay... I know you didn't mean it."

Both the couple smiled with satisfaction, and the slightly plump woman gave Khalil a touching hug.

"Don't mention the French base anymore...Khalil, do you still remember what your mission is?" asked the tattooed man.

Khalil nodded.

"Then why weren't you with Ved Grey when I saw you on the street today?" asked the tattooed man.

His tone was calm, but Khalil still shuddered unconsciously.

This time, he did not argue that he was sorted into Gryffindor by the Sorting Hat, and that Weed Grey was missing all day except for classes, so it was difficult to find an opportunity to reminisce about the past and get closer to him.

He also did not mention that among the people who had traveled with him before was the young savior of the magical world. Khalil judged that it was necessary to build a good relationship with him, and that he could also join a society organized by Vid Grey through him.

He knew that in his father's eyes, a task was not completed if it was not completed, and any reason - even if he was actually doing more meaningful work - was an excuse.

Commands come first.

"I'm sorry, Dad." Khalil lowered his head and said, "I'm really sorry for not being able to meet your expectations. I will definitely work hard to complete the task. Please give me some more time."

The tattooed man's cheeks tightened, as if he was about to get angry, but after being glared at by the plump woman, he suppressed his anger.

He placed his palm on Khalil's head and said as gently as he could: "It's okay. Since you can recognize your mistakes, I believe you can do better in the future... Khalil, don't let me down again."

Khalil tried hard to suppress the discomfort from the top of his head to the back and nodded solemnly.

The slightly plump woman clapped her hands happily.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about such serious topics anymore. Carlile, you are not used to the food at school these days, right? Mom has prepared a big meal for you. Let's have a meal together as a family?"

"Okay." The tattooed man smiled and said, "Since Khalil went to the training camp, we haven't sat down to eat together for a long time - Khalil, will it delay your return to school?"

Khalil finally smiled sincerely this time.

"No," he said. "It's Hogsmeade weekend, I just have to be back before dinner."

"You can't stay that long." The tattooed man said, "We have someone watching the village. If Vid Grey shows up, you have to find a chance to run into him."

"……Um."

The smile on Khalil's face disappeared. He responded sullenly, looking at the two people who didn't pay attention to his emotions. He suddenly felt that compared with the parents in his memory, the people in front of him were so strange.

——It was all because of the damn British Ministry of Magic that they discovered their family’s identities as vampires, forcing them to flee to the United States.

Khalil didn't want to recall the hardships along the way. Afterwards, they were protected by the organization and escaped being hunted down.

My father and mother's personalities changed drastically because of this change...it's not their fault.

Only by completing the task by myself can the family live uprightly, and my father and mother will return to their original state...

Khalil secretly clenched the fork in his hand.

The slightly plump woman had already laid out a table full of delicious food - roast beef, eel jelly, stew, seafood soup, sausage and mashed potatoes...

The rich fragrance filled the air, and the atmosphere in the room finally became what a family should be like.

……

"How stupid! I was able to be ambushed by a vampire bat!"

Sirius directed the table knife to dig holes in the pumpkins in the yard, and said unsatisfactorily:

"Have your abilities degenerated to this point?"

His tone was mocking, but there was a cold light in his eyes.

"How should I put it?" Lupin smiled bitterly: "I might have drunk too much at the time and was not on guard..."

In fact, he actually felt in advance that a flying object was approaching him rapidly.

But perhaps the alcohol numbed his vigilance, and Lupin subconsciously thought that it was Vader who turned into a bird, so he did not dodge in time.

After all, in his mind, only Vader's Animagus was avian.

By the time Lupin realized he was being attacked, the needle had already pierced into his body, and the cold potion hit his blood vessels almost like a water gun.
