Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Fortunately, there were wizards with outstanding abilities sitting around the table, and they cleared the water on the table with a spell.

The puppet still stubbornly dragged the kettle towards its owner. Marchionne looked at the two and said, "Look, it's just such a little idiot, so basically no one is interested in the imitation puppets..."

"boom!"

The kettle almost hit Marchione in the face, he dodged it, but the remaining tea still splashed all over his face.

There were still two pieces of tea leaves hanging on his face.

Vader and Lupin tried to be polite, but they couldn't help laughing.

The puppet seemed to have completed its mission, standing quietly and waiting for the next order.

Marchionne wiped the water off his face, took a deep breath, and tapped the retarded puppet with his wand.

Then, the puppet disappeared from this world.

“——That’s it!”

Marchionne stubbornly ignored the two people's laughter and continued the previous topic: "The flexibility of imitation products is not even as good as that of wizard chess pieces, so puppets are our main business direction at present."

"But I heard that the British Ministry of Magic is planning a big event, which Fudge claims is unprecedented... This is a great opportunity for our workshop, but if we only have one or two main products, it will be too easy to fall behind..."

"I've actually been trying to get the Ministry of Magic to pass a law recently to prohibit counterfeit and shoddy Book of Friends from entering the UK, but it hasn't been going well... If I miss this opportunity, I don't know when I'll have another chance..."

Marchionne kept muttering to himself, and it was obvious that he had been troubled by this for a long time.

"But now that we have the Communication Bean, it's different - we can definitely catch those guys off guard!"

"But in order to avoid being copied by unscrupulous merchants, we may have to postpone sales for a year... at least half a year..."

"Actually..." Wade said, "There is a part in the design of the bean, which is to add a vanishing spell when it is sealed. If someone tries to break it, the spell will be activated."

"Vanishing spell?" Marchionne's eyes lit up and he asked quickly, "Can it be added? Will there be a conflict? Is there a chance that it could be triggered by mistake?"

Wade simply took out the design and showed it to him.

He never worried that Marchionne would leak the secret. When it came to protecting property rights, this businessman was more thorough than Wade could have imagined.

It has been almost two years since the release of The Book of Friends, but the outside world can only infer the production method based on the finished product and imitate some crude products. This shows the strength of Marchionne's protection.

Marchionne was once a student of Professor Mori, and his alchemy skills were not inferior to those of ordinary alchemists, so it was not difficult for him to understand the design drawings.

After looking at it for a while, Marchionne grinned and said, "Did Professor Murray help you correct your mistakes?"

"Yes," said Vader.

The two exchanged a knowing look.

"Then I have to start production quickly." Marchionne put away the design and stood up, grinning, "I can't wait to see those guys get into trouble."

"This is a chain of spells," said Wade. "A normal breaking spell will only make the beans themselves disappear, but if they try to remove the vanishing spell, it will trigger a counterattack."

"I understand." Marchionne nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll make the arrangements... Then, shall Remus and I handle the contract?"

"Yeah, sure," Vader said.

The signing of a magic contract is not just about writing a name. There are still many details to be discussed. In recent years, Marchionne's magic workshop has become more and more formal, and it is even learning management methods from large Muggle companies.

Wade doesn't have the patience for this.

Fortunately, Lupin was serious, meticulous and dedicated, so Vader felt relieved to leave the follow-up to him.

Lupin walked Vader all the way out of the Hog's Head before returning to the guest room upstairs.

Marchionne smiled and said, "Remus, when you were with Wade, did you take on the role of 'mother'?"

Lupin didn't get angry, he just explained calmly: "There are some dangerous guests in the Hog's Head, and I don't want Vader to come into contact with them."

"I know, I didn't laugh at you...in fact, I thought you did a great job."

Marchionne smiled, then said seriously, "Remus, since you are in Hogsmeade, you must protect Vader. Recently, several well-known alchemists have disappeared in France, Germany, Italy, etc."

……

Wade left the Hog's Head and prepared to go to the Three Broomsticks to find his friends.

When he was almost there, he saw a man staggering towards him, looking dazed and with an extremely ugly expression.

That's Khalil.

He accidentally bumped into a girl and was pushed down by her. Khalil just sat on the ground in a daze, without any reaction.

The girl left angrily. Wade watched for a while, sighed helplessly, walked over and half squatted down, grabbed Khalil's shoulders and asked, "Hey, Khalil, what's wrong with you?"

"Sea..." Khalil murmured.

"See?" Wade asked curiously, "What did you see?"

As he spoke, he looked around.

Khalil rubbed his face vigorously, forced a smile and said, "The Halloween costumes in a store just now were too scary... I suddenly saw it and was shocked."

"Really? Then I'll go and see it later."

Wade pulled him up forcefully and said, "But I remember you were not so timid. You are a Gryffindor."

"The main reason is that I have never seen these moving creatures in the magic world before. After all, I am just..."

vampire.

——Is it true?

Khalil suddenly had a huge doubt in his heart, as if he was covered by a layer of fog, preventing him from seeing the truth.

——Their whole family are vampires, so why are the delicacies in his memory all ordinary food, with no... no blood food?

Is it because they all obey the law?

Chapter 375 Mist

"What's wrong with you, Khalil?"

Seeing his pale face and strange expression, Weed couldn't help but ask.

"No...nothing..."

Khalil seemed to be trembling slightly. Wade frowned and reached out to touch his forehead.

The tentacles were icy cold, not even as hot as a normal human's body temperature.

This seemed to remind him that they were already different races.

Khalil was stunned by his action, and when he looked up, he grabbed Wade's arm tightly.

Vader: “……?”

Khalil forced a smile, loosened his hand and said, "It seems a bit cold today. Let's go to the Three Broomsticks for some butterbeer."

Of course Wade wouldn't refuse, as he was going there anyway.

The inn was filled with smoke and was very warm. The aroma of wine and food filled the air, making people seem to warm up instantly.

The bar was full of Hogwarts students. Michael and others were sitting together. Wade and Khalil walked through the crowd and headed over there. Everyone welcomed them with a smile.

In the corner of the bar, there sat a man in a grey wizard robe. He looked at the children secretly and slowly revealed a satisfied smile.

On the table in front of the man was a piece of parchment and a quill.

At this moment, the feather pen jumped up automatically and wrote lines of words on the paper.

[We integrated smoothly... We got along well... The plan went very smoothly...]

……

"all the best."

The tattooed man put down the friend book and said calmly.

"As long as it goes well."

The slightly plump woman clasped her hands in front of her chest and said thankfully, "Khalil is a very stubborn kid. I was always worried that he would deliberately cause trouble and sabotage the mission - fortunately, he didn't."

"It seems your method is indeed effective."

The tattooed man turned his head and looked at her and said, "For a child like this, ideals and beliefs don't mean much to him. Money and beauty don't appeal to him either. Only family affection can strangle him."

The woman smiled proudly: "It's worth all the hard work I put into learning cooking. It's hard to understand why Khalil likes British food even though it's so bad. Did you see that? He was so moved that he almost cried!"

She originally had a very gentle and kind appearance, but with this smile, her whole person seemed distorted.

Another person nearby couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked, "Major, what's so special about Khalil? Judging from his age, he should still be in the training camp."

"He is Weed Grey's childhood friend and your helper."

The tattooed man, Major Baird, said, "But he only knows that he has his own companions in school and doesn't know your identity. Don't worry that he will expose you, Sera."

The third person sitting in the room was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Sera Abigail.

Even though Baird said this, Abigail still looked unhappy and said angrily:

"I've said it before, I don't need extra manpower! And I'm about to get a puppet that Vader has personally ordered - a large puppet based on a magical creature! Do you understand what this means?"

"I know, I understand." Baird said patiently, "But the requirements of the mission have changed. Sera - the puppet is no longer the most important thing. The most important thing is Vid Grey."

"What?!" Abigail frowned and said, "There are so many alchemists in the world, why do you have to look for this one? He is under Dumbledore's nose. Aslan Magic Workshop and Terrence Murray are not easy to mess with..."

"Of course I am aware of the danger of this matter, Sera. I am also one of the executors of the mission. Dumbledore may be less than a thousand meters away from me now."

Baird said helplessly:

"But the alchemists we invited back all said that the puppets looked like enlarged versions of wizard chess, but in fact, the craftsmanship was unprecedented, and the creator had an outstanding and unimaginable level of alchemy."

"If they want to make a complete version of the puppet and mass-produce it, they must have a complete design drawing. Sera, can you get the puppet's design drawing from Gray?"

Abigail shook her head grimly.

Baird said: "That's right, alchemists are naturally conscious of copyright and protect their inventions very closely."

"More importantly, Vid Grey is a young and very talented alchemist."

"What he made, other alchemists can't even copy. So is it possible for him to complete the alchemy that other alchemists can't complete?"
