Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"Mr. Grey." Looking at Wade, Professor Sprout's expression eased a lot: "I am very satisfied with your performance in class today."

"Thank you, Professor," Vader said softly.

Professor Sprout smiled and asked gently, "Have you mastered the silent spell now?"

It's not that she wanted to treat them differently, but in the eyes of this witch, the Slytherin students had often shown malicious expressions to Wade since last semester.

As for the reason...is there any need to explain?

Slytherin never needed a reason to target children born into non-magical families.

She was sure that there had been a direct and serious conflict between the two sides.

All the professors in the school knew that one day last year, several first-year Slytherin students went to the infirmary crying.

Things had calmed down since then... but Malfoy still seemed to be holding a grudge.

Comparing the two, even without considering the difference in academies and only looking at the attitudes of both sides, the witch would unconsciously lean towards Wade's side.

"Silent spells are quite difficult. I can only use silent spells for a small number of spells at the moment."

Vader said modestly, then waved his wand.

The earmuffs and shovels that the students had casually placed on the shelves all flew up and landed neatly back where they belonged, and the dust and manure on the ground also disappeared.

It's so smooth and natural, without any sense of "force".

"Excessive modesty is arrogance, Mr. Gray."

Professor Sprout smiled and said, "That's a nice silent spell. I'll give you ten points. And... um... your detention will also start at nine o'clock tonight, in the second greenhouse."

"Okay, Professor," Vader responded.

The two of them understood each other tacitly that this was not so much confinement as it was the professor giving him special treatment.

As they left the greenhouse together, Wade said again, "Professor, when these mandrakes grow up, can I apply for a leaf?"

"Leaves?" Professor Sprout realized. "You want to practice Animagus?"

"Yes." Vader did not hide it.

"This is a very advanced Transfiguration."

Professor Sprout said with emotion:

"Minerva must be very satisfied with your Transfiguration performance, but she would not agree with you practicing Animagus in this grade?"

"I actually have a very good tutor."

Vader smiled and said, "Professor, could you please keep this a secret for me for now? The preparation time for Animagus is very long... I don't want others to know until I'm sure of success."

Some people can even take several years to prepare for their Animagus, so it is not surprising that he starts now but only succeeds in the sixth or seventh grade.

So Professor Sprout said tolerantly: "Of course. But you have to promise me that the last step of this magic must be carried out under the supervision of a teacher."

"Yes, I won't be reckless." Wade said seriously.

He hoped to master the magic of transforming from a human into an animal, but he did not want to actually become an ignorant animal.

Chapter 128 Soft Light Badge

After walking out of the greenhouse and looking at the distance from here to the castle, Wade raised his wand decisively:

"Here comes the broom!"

A flying broom flew through the window of Ravenclaw Tower, drew an arc in the air, and landed steadily beside Vader.

He mounted his broom and flew directly back to the dormitory with great skill.

Wade had thought before that if he wanted to buy a broom, he would definitely buy a new one that had not been used by anyone else.

Just like he doesn't want to buy a used car.

But since the three house-elves happily gave him this flying broom, Vader no longer thought so.

So what if we swept 140?

He wasn't going to Quidditch, and as a short-term means of transportation, the old broom would work just as well as a new one.

This broom carries a sincere heart, which is more precious than a competition broom bought for thousands of galleons.

Moreover, after Vader got it, he modified the magic attached to the broom many times. Although this broom is not as fast as the Nimbus series, its stability and comfort are not inferior at all.

Wade returned to his dorm and took a quick shower. The bell rang in the castle. He changed into clean clothes and went to the auditorium. Many students were already having lunch.

Wade randomly picked an empty seat and sat down. He had just forked himself a piece of steak and toast when Michael sat next to him as usual.

Vader gave him a surprised look.

Michael raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"

He reached for a piece of treacle pie and chose between several types of roast meat.

Wade lowered his eyes and smiled, "After being told that today, I thought you would distance yourself from me."

Michael tutted.

"Why would I push my friend away because of what my enemy said?" He shook his finger. "If I were someone who was so easily provoked, I would have separated from you in the Herbology class."

"Right."

Vader nodded, and the vague worry in his heart was blown away.

Michael looked towards the Slytherin table.

Malfoy was still in a very bad mood. He didn't eat much and seemed to have a conflict with the person next to him. He pushed the plate away and strode out of the hall.

Crabbe and Goyle seemed to want to chase after them, but looking at the food on the long table, they finally stayed.

Michael narrowed his eyes.

Bad ideas popped up in Michael's mind like bubbles.

Suddenly, a beautiful girl passed by him. Her reddish golden curly hair seemed to glow, and Michael's eyes were unconsciously attracted to her.

Someone nearby uttered a loud "Hmph," walked past Michael, and bumped him hard, nearly sending him crashing into the plate.

Michael was about to get angry when he saw that the person who bumped into him was Padma.

The girl looked down at him with a look as sharp as a knife. Michael immediately withdrew his gaze and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Have you eaten yet, Padma?"

Padma snorted again, turned around and left with the girls in her dormitory.

Michael touched his nose awkwardly.

After Padma left, he unconsciously looked at the girl he had just seen, and was surprised to find that it was Marietta, a third-year student.

A girl whose appearance was not outstanding in the past.

But after just one summer vacation, she became beautiful and exceptionally dazzling and charming.

"Girls change so suddenly..." Michael said with emotion.

"What?" Wade was confused.

"Well……"

Michael was about to speak when he realized that it wasn't just Marietta. Many of the girls in the auditorium... and even some of the boys... looked like they had changed drastically since last semester.

Simply put, everything looks better.

He touched his face which was tanned at the beach and was actually a little shocked.

"This is so weird." Michael said to Wade, "Why are everyone else getting better-looking, but I'm the only one getting darker?"

Wade looked around and immediately understood what was going on. He asked, "Does anyone in your family subscribe to Wizard Weekly?"

"Yeah," Michael said, "Aren't witches usually the ones who subscribe?"

Witch Weekly is a magazine that publishes celebrity gossip, quizzes, fortune-telling, recipe weaving and advice columns, and is very popular among witches.

Michael's mother was an ordinary person. Apart from the Daily Prophet, their family only subscribed to women's magazines published by Muggles.

"There was an article published in Wizard Weekly a few days ago. You'll know why if you read it."

Wade pulled a magazine out of his bag and handed it to Michael.

One of the shapes of the pencil case is designed to be a school bag. Since it is not very heavy, he usually stuffs a lot of messy things into it and is too lazy to take them out.

Michael took the magazine and looked at him strangely: "Ved, will you still subscribe to Witch Weekly?"

Wade looked calm and said, "This is a sample copy someone sent me."

Michael opened the magazine and saw several comparison pictures in color at first glance.

There were witches in their twenties and fifties and sixties, middle-aged balding wizards, and young men with freckles.

The same person wore the same clothes and stood in the same position for photos. In one photo, his complexion was gray and his skin was rough; in the other photo, he was radiant and his skin was delicate and soft.

Looking again, I saw that this was an article introducing Aslan Magic Workshop's new product, the Soft Light Badge.

Every line of the text is telling others that a small badge can make ordinary people instantly have beauty comparable to that of a Veela.

It also implies that anyone who does not wear this badge in the future will most likely lose love, self-confidence, and a harmonious family.

and many more……

Aslan's magic workshop?

Michael immediately grabbed Wade's arm: "Wade, this isn't your invention, is it?"

Wade nodded and asked, "Why are you so excited? This is a product for women."

"Who said that!"

Michael unfolded the magazine with a "whoosh" and pointed at the two wizards on display.

"See? The pursuit of beauty knows no gender! There must be a lot of boys in school wearing badges too!"

He said so! Today Malfoy actually looked more refined than usual.
