Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"I want you to see this—"

Wade said as he took out a box from his schoolbag. He then noticed that the friend book next to him was getting slightly warm. Wade paused for a moment, then closed his schoolbag and placed the blue-gray box, which was only the size of a pencil case, on the table.

Professor Murray's eyes lit up: "You succeeded so quickly?"

“Only a preliminary result has been achieved.”

Wade opened the box and saw a few feather pens and ordinary fountain pens inside. He could see the bottom at a glance, which seemed to be all. Then he closed the lid and tapped the magic wand. The pen box turned, expanded, extended, and stretched like the pages of a book...

After a moment, a wardrobe more than one meter tall stood in the middle of the room.

Videla opened the door and said with a smile, "Professor, perhaps you would like to go in and take a look?"

Chapter 102 Wardrobe Space

The space inside the closet was far from the small world that Wade had imagined. It was only slightly larger than the umbrella house. The room was empty and there were no decorations.

Of course, what Professor Murray wants to "see" is not these superficial things.

He didn't have the same eyes as Wade, but he had his own way to examine the magic pattern circuits -

The layers of inlaid ancient magic runes formed a structure as delicate and perfectly balanced as a honeycomb;

The traceless stretching spells that are linked together like chains are complex and orderly, simple and neat;

Hundreds of spells are like whirlpools, which not only ensure the stability of the structure but also leave ample room for expansion.

This is just a prototype.

But it took root, sprouted, and grew tender leaves in the most perfect posture. Professor Mori examined its veins and could almost see the moment when it grew into a towering tree.

After walking out, Professor Murray looked at Wade and said with a smile: "There is nothing more I can teach you about the Traceless Extension Spell, Wade."

Vader did not hide his joy and smiled happily.

This made him look more his age than usual.

"What are your plans for the summer vacation?" Professor Murray asked again.

"Reading, studying, nothing else," said Wade.

Professor Murray hesitated for a moment, frowned and said, "Students cannot use magic during the summer vacation. This is very inconvenient for your studies. You live in a Muggle area, and once you cast a spell, the Ministry of Magic will immediately discover it..."

"Actually..." Wade explained, "I plan to stay at home for a few days and then book a room at the Leaky Cauldron. This way I can bypass the Ministry of Magic's surveillance of Trace."

Professor Murray nodded slightly and said, "That's a solution... but it's not a good idea. Old Tom is a good person, but there are often unidentified guys in that place. It's not safe for a child like you to live in a bar, and the environment is not good either."

"Mr. Lupin can accompany me, he will also teach me Defense Against the Dark Arts!" said Wade.

"Lupin?" Professor Murray snorted. "That's exactly what I was worried about!"

His opinions about werewolves were deeply rooted, and he would never truly trust them.

"Well, you go home first..." Professor Murray thought for a while and said, "I'll go talk to Mr. Scamander. Maybe he'll be willing to let you visit him."

"Mr. Newt Scamander?" Wade's eyes lit up: "You mean--"

"Yes, I guess you must want to see his magical suitcase." Professor Murray smiled and said, "No one is better than him in the use of space spells and weather spells."

In Wade's excited eyes, Professor Murray added: "It just so happens that he likes Steven very much, and Steven has told him about you - yes, he mentioned you several times - Mr. Scamander also has a good impression of you."

When he left Professor Murray's office, Wade still felt his heart beating fast, his eyes were bright, and he walked very briskly.

Newt Scamander.

To Wade, this man was just the protagonist of the "Fantastic Beasts" series of movies. He was kind, gentle, and dull, and almost never looked at people straight in the eye. He loved magical animals, was loyal to Dumbledore, and would go through fire and water for the old headmaster.

Coming to the magical world, Wade discovered that Newt had also left an important mark in the modern history of magic. His magical box, his outstanding performance in the two wizarding wars, and his lifelong efforts to protect magical creatures were all recorded in history books.

Even included - he once captured Gellert Grindelwald.

This is a man full of legends, although he himself may not want such a reputation.

……

After walking out of the astronomy tower, Wade opened the friend book.

The earlier messages had disappeared—of course, since his lesson with Professor Murray lasted nearly two hours.

The latest message comes from Padma.

【Padma: They went to the restricted area on the fourth floor. 】

【Ved: Padma? Where are you? 】

[Padma: Merlin! You finally saw the news! ]

【Padma: I’m outside the corridor on the fourth floor. 】

[Padma: It's almost curfew time. Filch's cat has been staring at me. I think I saw Peeves just now... What should I do? Dumbledore is not here... No one has come back...]

Just from the messy words, you can feel the girl's fear and worry.

【Ved: Wait for me.】

Wade walked quickly to the main tower. When he passed the entrance hall, he turned to the Great Hall and packed some bread and barbecue. Filch was standing at the entrance of the entrance hall, staring at the students who were still eating dinner with displeasure.

Wade nodded at him and said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Filch."

Filch was slightly surprised. He stared at Wade suspiciously, as if wondering if he had any bad ideas.

But Vader had already walked past him quickly.

Coming all the way to the corridor on the fourth floor, Padma walked back and forth outside the restricted area, looking out from time to time, as if she was afraid that her movements would be too big and would be noticed.

At a corner not far away, the skinny Mrs. Norris was squatting on the ground, staring at her quietly. When she heard Wade's footsteps, she turned her head and looked over here.

Wade threw two dried fish to Mrs. Loris and came to Padma.

"Ved!" Padma looked like she was about to cry, and the hem of her clothes was wrinkled by herself.

"Don't worry." Wade stuffed a sandwich into her mouth and asked, "Eat something...Have you notified the professor?"

"Michael went to see Professor Flitwick, and he said the Philosopher's Stone is safe, so we don't have to worry and just enjoy the days without exams."

Padma's tone couldn't help but carry a hint of resentment towards the professors.

"That's what Professor McGonagall told Harry. She also warned us not to mess around or we'd lose a lot of marks. Professor Sprout was teaching the fifth years, so we didn't get a chance to talk to her."

Padma said quickly, holding the sandwich and unable to eat it.

"Where's Professor Dumbledore?"

"He received an urgent letter from the Ministry and went to London."

Padma said tearfully, "We don't have his friend list, so we can only send letters via owl. I don't know when he will receive them... Maybe by the time he comes back, it will be too late."

"Don't worry, remember what we said before - Dumbledore knows everything about Hogwarts."

Vader comforted.

After regaining his previous memories through the Pensieve, Wade was even more certain that Dumbledore had full control over the school during Harry's first year at the school, and the opportunity Quirrell thought was just a flaw that Dumbledore deliberately revealed.

——The "level-breaking game" in the underground is the real "final exam" left by Dumbledore for Harry and his companions.

Chapter 103 Deep Sea

Having said that, Wade couldn't just sit there and wait - the little wizards who went to challenge the levels were unlikely to die, but injuries were inevitable.

So much time has passed, I wonder how far they have come.

"I'll go check it out." Ved said to Padma, "It's almost curfew, go back to the lounge first. If I find anything, I'll tell you from the friend's book."

But Padma grabbed his sleeve and shook her head vigorously.

“Padma?”

"Michael told me the same thing..." The girl choked up, "I don't want to wait any longer... Waiting is more painful than anything else. I would rather go with you to face God and the mysterious man..."

Wade was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "...Okay, then you follow me."

Padma nodded and followed Wade to the fourth floor.

"Meow-"

Mrs. Norris suddenly uttered a sharp roar, bent her back and stood in front of them.

Wade glanced at it and saw the dried fish scattered on the ground, seemingly motionless.

"I'm sorry, but we have to pass."

The two walked forward. Mrs. Norris first bared her teeth and took two steps back. Then she rolled her eyes and ran downstairs quickly.

"Collapse!"

Vader swung his wand, and a flash of red hit the gray cat on the back. She fell with a thump and slid to the side of the corridor.

"Great - she must want to inform Filch." Padma couldn't help but say, "How could there be such a nasty cat!"

"In the eyes of her owner, she is the most loyal and good cat."

As Vader spoke, he pushed open the half-open wooden door. Padma gasped when she saw the scene inside.

The ferocious three-headed dog was tearing a harp apart. Upon hearing the sound, it immediately looked towards the two of them and let out a low growl from its throat.

Padma's lips trembled as she spoke tremblingly, "Harry said... as long as it hears music... it will fall asleep... Can I sing to it?"

But in a hurry, she couldn't remember what she could sing.

"Music?"

Wade threw a small ball to the ground. It rolled around and pleasant piano music began to play halfway.

"What is this?" Padma asked blankly.

"To Alice, a classic work by Beethoven," Wade replied.

"No - I mean, what is this little ball?"

Padma asked as she looked at the small ball that not only sang, but also rotated and emitted colorful light.

"Music player—magic version."
