Hogwarts: Voldemort, don’t stop me from studying

Vader only said: “The vampire golem is ready. I made it very strong.”
One update tonight.
Chapter 383 Help [Two in One]
Dumbledore crossed his hands over his abdomen and lowered his eyes in thought.
Wade continued, “I don’t know if it’s right to doubt Professor Abigail, but I know… those guys are coveting the technology of the golems, and so far, among those who have shown an unusual interest in the golems, this professor is the most suspicious.”
Is it necessary to use a puppet to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts?
Of course not. Many monsters can be found in the Forbidden Forest or the Black Lake. If that doesn’t work, you can ask Hagrid to get them. Besides, real monsters can help students learn more.
Even if it was because of Professor Abigail’s unique teaching style, given her personality, she should have gone to the Forbidden Forest to catch a few more red hats to give her students a “surprise” instead of asking Wade to help make teaching aids.
Of course, the main reason why Vader was suspicious was because she was the professor of the Defense Against the Dark Arts course.
This cursed course has a strong attraction effect on all kinds of problematic people, and no one can stay in this position for a full year.
Of course, Abigail is neither a vampire nor a werewolf, and there is no evidence that she is related to the former, which is why Wade and Dumbledore are still unsure.
……
The wind was howling and thunder was rumbling. Staying in the room, you could see huge raindrops hitting the glass windows.
This made Michael feel very embarrassed when he woke up. He sat in the lounge with messy hair, looking at the bad weather outside with dull eyes.
Hearing footsteps on the spiral staircase, Michael turned around and saw Wade.
“Good morning, Wade.” Michael said, “Look, the weather is so bad today, the Quidditch game probably won’t go on as planned, right?”
“Hmm?” Wade asked in confusion, “Has there ever been a school game that was cancelled due to weather?”
He really doesn’t understand the detailed rules in this regard.
Michael sighed, “No… I don’t want to miss the game, and I don’t want to get caught in the rain.”
“Take an umbrella,” Vader said briefly.
Michael curled his lips and said, “It’s raining so hard that even an umbrella won’t be of much use.”
Wade spread his hands: “Then I have no choice. Either watch the game in the rain, or give up the game and stay comfortably in the lounge. You have to choose one.”
He knew that Michael was just complaining and would eventually choose to watch the game because he was a veteran Quidditch fan, even though his own skills were not that good.
Sure enough, even though Michael groaned as if he was about to grow onto the sofa in front of the fireplace, when Wade was ready to go out, he still followed him while complaining.
“Vade, can the weather spell change this terrible weather?”
“can.”
“Then can you…”
“No. Weather spells can change the weather, but my spells are not capable of such a large-scale change.”
“Hey…Weid, did you forget to bring your umbrella?”
“I don’t have to – I’m not going to the game.”
Michael became even more depressed.
The two soon arrived at the auditorium, and then Michael’s spirits suddenly improved – because he saw people who were more unlucky than himself.
The players from both the Gryffindor and Slytherin teams had come for breakfast, and both sides were trying to kill each other with their eyes across the long table.
When Michael thought about the fact that these people would soon go to compete in the storm, he felt that getting a little wet was nothing.
Caryl was also at the Gryffindor table, sitting next to Harry and talking to him with both hands and gestures.
“Hey, if you can’t see clearly, then others certainly can’t see clearly either. Then it’s time to compete with each other in vision…”
“Thanks, Khalil.” Harry said bitterly, “My eyesight is probably the worst in both teams.”
He said, pushing up his glasses.
“That’s what I’m saying! Why don’t you turn your glasses into waterproof binoculars? It would be even better if you could make it automatically track the Snitch! It would lock onto the battle situation!”
Harry stared at him blankly, his heart shamefully moved.
But soon, he came to his senses, shook his head and said, “No, this is definitely against the rules!”
“Oh, it’s raining so hard, who can tell that your glasses are different from usual ones? Everyone knows that you usually wear glasses…”
Khalil was halfway through his persuasion when he saw Wade and Michael coming in. He happily raised his arm to greet them, and then sat down at the Ravenclaw table without any hesitation and told Wade his thoughts.
“Don’t you think so? Doesn’t it make sense? Equipment is also part of the game!” Khalil said confidently.
Michael nodded repeatedly, but hesitated and said, “Although…but…if the professor finds out, I might be disqualified…”
“Hey, let’s see if you can figure it out first!” Khalil asked enthusiastically, “Wade, can you make telescope glasses that look like ordinary glasses?”
After Wade swallowed his toast, he said, “Yes, but you don’t have to…Give me that plate of boiled peas you have.”
“This?” Khalil handed over the boiled pea pods.
Wade tapped the peas with his wand, and the peas inside lined up and crawled out, leaving only empty pods.
Then he transformed a bunch of pea pods into the shape of windproof goggles and added a spell to make them waterproof and moisture-proof.
“Here, these goggles will last at least until tomorrow morning,” said Vader.
Khalil cheered: “Great, Wade, you are our savior!”
He ran back to the Gryffindor table holding his goggles and told Wood and the others. The Gryffindor team members were very excited and made a gesture of gratitude to Wade.
“Put it away! Put it away!” When the Weasley twins were about to put on their goggles, Wood said hurriedly, “This is our secret weapon to win. Don’t let the Slytherins find out!”
The Gryffindors nodded solemnly, put their goggles in their pockets, and looked at the Slytherin table with a confident smile.
There were two extra goggles, so Khalil kept one for himself and gave the other to Michael, saying happily, “Now I don’t have to worry about rain getting in my eyes when I watch the game!”
Seeing Khalil running back to the Gryffindor table and blending in harmoniously with the crowd like a member of the team, Michael whispered to Wade:
“I now understand why this transfer student is so popular in Gryffindor… He is so enthusiastic about other people’s affairs that he regards them as his own, so of course everyone likes to be friends with him.”
“Ah.”
Wade nodded. He remembered that when he was a child, Khalil also had a lot of friends, at least more than Wade.
A scent wafted in—Padma walked past them without even glancing at them, then sat down at the farthest end of the long table.
The smile on Michael’s face disappeared and he fiddled with the steak on his plate as if he saw nothing.
Vader sighed and tapped Michael’s umbrella with his wand as well.
“I put a spell on your umbrella so that when it’s open it’s big enough to shield two people and won’t be affected by strong winds.”
Vader said, “You should take this opportunity to reconcile with Padma as soon as possible… The state of the two of you is making others feel uncomfortable.”
Michael nodded silently.
……
After breakfast, students walked towards the Quidditch field one after another. The wind and rain were still violent, and many people’s umbrellas were blown away by the wind on the way.
But even so, the students would rather march forward against the wind, soaking wet, than return to the warm and dry common room.
Vader walked to the Room of Requirement alone.
Although he already had a headset for making calls, Vader did not stop working on improving the Book of Friends, but continued to do so, and it is now almost finished.
In fact, up to now, the profit of Book of Friends has been very slim, and the emergence of a large number of counterfeit products has also squeezed the already small market.
But Wade believed that no matter how convenient the call headset was, there must be a place for it in the Book of Friends.
Even if in the future, products similar to mobile phones appear in the wizarding world and the Book of Friends has to exit the stage of history, Wade hopes that its exit will be dignified, rather than being forgotten in the midst of contempt like an unfinished project.
“Oh!”
An object suddenly hit the nearby glass heavily. Wade was startled and looked up. He saw an owl with messy feathers lying outside the window, staring at him with round eyes.
Wade raised his hand, and the tightly closed window suddenly opened. The owl rushed in along with the sound of wind and heavy rain!
The cold wind instantly made Wade’s robe puff up. He waved his hand to close the window and at the same time caught the messenger who fell from the sky.
The owl was very thin and cold all over. It was shivering with cold and completely collapsed from exhaustion, but it still tried to lift its claws and handed the small cylinder tied to its claws to him.
Vader took the cylinder, chanted a spell, and passed his hand over the owl.
The cold rain disappeared and its body became warm again.
The owl looked around in surprise, and then found a small pile of owl food in front of it. It immediately lowered its head and started eating.
Only then did Wade take the letter out of the cylinder.
Inside was a piece of white paper rolled into a long thin strip. He rubbed it with his fingers. The surface of the paper had a rough texture, similar to the feel of parchment, but lacked that unique warmth.
Wade suddenly understood.
I guess this is a knockoff of the Book of Friends.
Wade took the owl and found an empty classroom to sit down. Then he checked it repeatedly with his wand before picking up the pen to write a “?” on it.
He did not rashly write his name.
After nearly half a minute, a line of messy words finally appeared on it:
【Help! Help me! He】
Wade stared at the hastily ended “He”, not sure if it meant help or was referring to a certain “he”.
He picked up a pen and wrote: [Calm down, who are you? What kind of help do you need? Why are you looking for me? ]
After a long while, new, crooked words appeared on the paper:
[I am the person you gave the invisibility cloak to – I am a beetle wearing glasses – please help me – I don’t know who else I can turn to except you -]
……
[Besides you, I don’t know who else I can turn to——]
Scribbled words appeared on the parchment.
This is a clean and bright room with a ceiling more than ten meters high. There are huge translucent glass walls around it. A shark is swimming slowly behind the glass wall.
