Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Hmm? Isn't this all Gryffindor?

He looked at the others.

Theo glanced at Ryan and said with a smile, "We're not going either...but I'll save dinner for you."

"What do you mean?" Harry had a bad feeling in his heart: "Deathday party... no food?"

"They should just serve ghost food," Theo said politely.

Harry blinked.

"Should I...shouldn't I agree to go to Nick's Deathday party?"

"But you already agreed," Padma said gloatingly.

Hermione nodded. "Once a word is spoken, it can't be taken back! Besides, the party is not just about eating!"

Michael smiled and said, "What a rare view, isn't it? Most people don't have this opportunity."

"So do you want this opportunity?" Neville asked nervously.

"Well... forget it." Michael refused gently but firmly.

"Wear more clothes." Wade finally reminded: "It will be very cold where ghosts gather."

……

In the blink of an eye, Halloween is here.

In the evening, Wade and others came to the auditorium. Like last year, countless candles were hung above the auditorium and bats decorated the ceiling.

The huge pumpkins were carved into lanterns of various shapes, fairies flew around on the vines, and the tips of the tiny magic wands sprayed colorful starlight.

The golden plates on the long table were filled with delicious food, most of which were not usually seen on the dining table.

Michael grabbed two pieces of the fried crispy cheese and took a big bite. The rich and crispy taste was almost addictive.

He finished his meal in a few bites, put two more pieces on his plate, and said happily to Wade, "If Harry and the others knew how much delicious food we have tonight, they would definitely regret it."

"I guess they regret it now." Wade forked a piece of French lamb chops and said, "Ghost food is rotten."

"Uh..." Michael advised, "Don't say such terrible things while eating, okay?"

While we were eating, a skeleton dance troupe performed on stage.

Those pale skeletons sometimes danced hand in hand to the cheerful music, sometimes floated up like cartilaginous snakes, and even suddenly scattered their skeletons on the ground and then pieced them together again.

The teeth of these skeletons chattered with each other, leading the audience to clap their hands and cheer along with them, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.

Except for Professor Snape who still had a gloomy face as usual, the students and teachers were all very happy and applauded one after another.

"This is great!"

Lee Jordan from Gryffindor pulled a black girl onto the stage and they both danced with the skeletons, bringing the heat of the venue to a new level.

When the dinner was over and the students were returning to the lounge, Wade saw Harry and his group coming up from the basement.

Except for Fred and George, who still had smiles on their faces, everyone else looked extremely haggard.

"It's horrible." Ron groaned. "Moldy, maggoty, smelly food... everything there makes me feel sick."

Theo and the others laughed and shared the food they brought from the auditorium with them.

"Thank you very much." Harry stuffed the food into his pocket and sighed, "But I can't eat anything now... I think my nose is going to fail."

A group of people walked out of the hall, then separated and followed the crowd to the lounge of their own college.

“This is the best Halloween I’ve ever had.”

On the way back to the dormitory, Michael was still talking excitedly.

Padma unconsciously hummed a song sung by the Skeleton Dance Troupe and said, "Yeah. It was great last year, but the trolls messed everything up."

"That's not the case." Michael said, "You joined us after that day, so that Halloween was great too."

Padma looked at Michael and gave him a sweet smile.

Wade consciously shook them off and returned to the lounge first.

He took out the gift for the house-elf from his bag - a shape-shifting mask - and wrote a blessing message on it and placed it on the table.

That way they can get it at night.

Even though Vader had a good relationship with several elves, they still followed the moral code of house elves and would not easily appear in front of Vader unless summoned.

Vader stood by the window and waited for a moment.

The huge castle gradually became quiet, and the students of Ravenclaw fell asleep one after another. Presumably, the students of other colleges were the same.

There were no screams, no petrification, no confusion or fear.

This was exactly what he expected - a peaceful, fulfilling and interesting school life.

Vader smiled.

……

On the second day of Halloween, after the afternoon class, Wade received a note from Professor Sprout -

【After dinner, come to the third greenhouse. 】

Wade was delighted, and after dinner he could not wait to go to the third greenhouse, where he saw the grown mandrakes swaying slightly.

"Although the mandrakes are not yet mature, their leaves are ready to use," said Professor Sprout.

A purple vine tried to quietly hook onto the witch's shoulder, but she calmly slapped it away.

"Great!" Vader said happily, "Then I can use it to practice Animagus, right?"

"Yes, that's right," Professor Sprout said with a smile. "It could have been a week ago, but I think it would be a shame to make you miss the Halloween dinner, wouldn't it?"

"Thank you, Professor," Vader said gratefully.

"Learning about Animagus is a long process, Vader."

As Professor Sprout spoke, he took out a pair of large scissors and searched carefully among the mandrakes.

"You have always been successful in learning magic, but you should know that it is normal to fail two or three times in practicing Animagus, especially the first step."

"For a whole month, you must hold a mandrake leaf in your mouth. You cannot swallow it or take it out. If you fail, you have to start the whole process over again."

"Let's choose the leaves today. Before the full moon, you have to get used to the feeling of talking, eating, and sleeping with a leaf of similar size in your mouth, and be careful not to swallow it. Practicing in advance will help you know which mistakes to avoid when you officially start."

Professor Sprout held the scissors and smiled, saying, "Well, choose a piece, Vader."

Still two-in-one, 4000 words.

Tomorrow's update will probably still be in the evening

Chapter 155 Pumpkin Carriage Teapot Bird

The leaves of a grown mandrake are longer than an adult's palm, so it is impossible to hold it in your mouth. Therefore, you can only choose smaller tender leaves.

But if it is too small, it can be easily eaten.

“It’s best if it covers a third of the upper jaw but doesn’t touch the teeth.”

Professor Sprout shared the experience of his predecessors: "The curl of the leaf is also very important. The tighter it fits the palate, the easier it is to succeed."

Under the guidance of Professor Sprout, Wade selected the leaves. Then Professor Sprout picked and chose, and cut off five or six leaves of similar size.

She soaked the leaves in green herbal juice to dissolve the inherent magic of the mandrake, then cast a preservation spell and handed the leaves to Wade.

"You can practice with these leaves before the full moon."

"So many?" Wade asked in surprise.

Calculating the time, there were only six days left until the full moon, which meant that Professor Sprout had given him a leaf every day on average.

Professor Sprout smiled. "The beginning is always the hardest. If you don't use up all the leaves before the full moon, you'll be successful."

……

"Good afternoon, Vader."

The little witcher jumped open the office door and said in a low, hoarse voice: "You are late."

Vader stretched out his hand and made the sign of five.

The demon hunter actually understood what he meant, frowned and said, "Five minutes is also late."

Vader waved his wand, and a string of golden words appeared in the air.

【Something happened during lunch, which delayed us.】

At this time, Professor Murray came out.

Wade asked in text: [Has Jerry become more lively? ]

"Jerry" is the nickname given to the witcher by Professor Murray.

“That’s the wonderful thing about the alchemy of life.”

Professor Murray smiled and said, "Unlike the rigid chess pieces in wizard chess, he will gradually grow, absorb more knowledge, and even his personality may change."

Vader sighed: [It's as if real life has been created. ]

"That's why it's so fascinating." Professor Murray asked, "What's wrong with your voice?"

[I'm practicing Animagus.] Vader replied: [I have a mandrake leaf in my mouth, so it's not convenient to talk.]

On the first day alone, he scrapped two leaves.

One of them was when I accidentally knocked it with my teeth while answering a question in class. I immediately tasted a strong bitter taste in my mouth. The taste lingered for a long time and I had to brush my teeth several times to get rid of it.

Another piece was sacrificed during the meal.

Wade had used a sticking spell to stick the leaves to his palate, and then he felt choked and had difficulty breathing.

Instead, it sticks to the tongue, making speaking and swallowing more difficult and more prone to damage.

Vader now truly realized how difficult this was.

Holding a thin leaf in your mouth without breaking it is not as easy as holding a piece of candy.
