Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

When Vader walked out of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron, Lupine was already waiting for him.

Compared with the first time they met, the man's condition was obviously much better.

He was wearing a dark blue wizard's robe, which no longer looked like it had patches piled on top of each other. Most of the sadness and haggardness on his face disappeared, replaced by calmness and a touch of melancholy accumulated over the years.

Such a man is undoubtedly very attractive, and Wade saw some young witches sizing him up in a subtle way.

Lupine ignored the looks. After seeing Wade, he couldn't help but smile, walked over and said, "Long time no see, Wade."

In the past six months, they met very rarely, but their daily magic teaching never stopped. Through text exchanges, Lupine was already very familiar with Vader.

Although he is young, he does not have the common shortcomings of ordinary children, such as laziness, impulsivity, childishness, impetuousness, etc.

He has very clear goals and high concentration. He is constantly learning and growing, and he is full of an enterprising spirit. He is also good at listening and expressing his own ideas, but does not follow what others say.

He has great trust and respect for the people around him, and he can also understand the difficulties of others. He treats Lu Ping with the same respect as he treats the professors at school, and he never looks down on him just because he is paid a salary.

During his many years of wandering, Lu Ping had encountered all kinds of employers. Many of them had the idea of ​​​​"I paid, and you have to be my dog." They wanted to squeeze out every ounce of value from their employees.

So at this time, his inner identification with Vader has been infinitely elevated, and the only obstacle is his own identity as a werewolf.

Little did he know that Vader knew from the beginning that he was a werewolf.

"Remus." Wade said hello: "I suddenly asked you to come over. Didn't I delay your business?"

Lu Ping smiled and said: "I don't have anything to do recently...Did something happen to you?"

"You know, Harry and I are classmates and we have a pretty good relationship."

Wade didn't hide anything and said directly: "Since the holiday, Harry has lost contact with all his friends, and everyone is a little worried. I said I could go to his house and have a look--"

Ever since he heard Harry's name, Lupine's expression had changed slightly, as if he was in a trance or in pain.

Wade looked at him and said, "I heard that Harry's parents were your friends during school, so I thought maybe you would be willing to help..."

His voice paused slightly: "If it makes you feel embarrassed, then forget it...I guess Harry is fine, otherwise Dumbledore would definitely take action."

It's true that Lu Ping's face looks a little ugly now, as if someone poured a spoonful of cold water into his ears.

"...No...not embarrassed." Lu Ping said slowly: "I also want to see him...but...I don't know if I should get closer..."

He looked a little dazed.

"Go and see if you want." Wade said, "Who has the right to stop you from caring about your old friend's orphan? What's more, he may still need help now."

The word "orphan" immediately stung Lu Ping, and he looked a little embarrassed for a moment.

"You're right... I should see him... I should have gone to see him a long time ago..."

Lupine made his decision and no longer hesitated, and the two set off together. In order to avoid attracting attention, the two changed into ordinary clothes, first took the tube and then took a taxi to Little Whinging, Surrey.

They got off the bus at Privet Drive and looked at the almost identical houses on both sides of the road. Lupine asked: "Vade, do you know where Harry lives?"

Wade looked at the house number outside a house and said, "It should be around here. His uncle's surname is Dursley."

"Dursley... I remember him - Vernon's Dursley, sister Lily's husband. He was there when Lily and James got married."

Lupine frowned and said in disgust: "—a rude lunatic."

"——What happened?" Wade asked strangely.

In his impression, James Potter was a school bully, with several friends who obeyed him.

Muggle Fenon should have no power to fight back in front of them, only to be bullied.

But Lupine's attitude... didn't seem to be directed at the poor Muggles they had teased, but rather as if they themselves were being bullied.

Lupine took a deep breath and said: "That is the worst Muggle I have ever seen... When we first met at the wedding, he condescendingly asked James what kind of car he drove, and James told him that he had a competition-level car. broom……"

Mentioning this name and remembering the scenes from the past still made Lupine hurt.

His voice paused slightly before continuing: "Then that man - Vernon Dursley, loudly declared that wizards were poor people living on unemployment benefits."

"James told him that he had a large sum of gold in Gringotts. He didn't understand Gringotts and thought James was teasing him. He got angry and the couple left the wedding venue directly, causing Lily to cry. ”

Lupine smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know, James is willing to do anything for Lily. He promised Lily that she would reconcile with Fenon as soon as possible... But the attitudes of those two people... Can you understand, we people are in their There are freaks in his eyes..."

Vader knew it in his heart - obviously, there might have been some unpleasant conflicts later.

"I should have come to Harry earlier...I didn't know he was entrusted to the Dursleys." Lupine said worriedly and remorsefully: "Damn...I should have thought of it earlier, they are his only relatives. Already..."

"But with your past conditions, I'm afraid you won't be able to raise a child well."

Wade suddenly stopped: "We're here."

The two of them looked at the house on the roadside together.

It looks like a copy-paste from its neighbors, from the gray roof tiles to the mottled wall tiles. There was a car parked in the yard and the garden was neatly kept.

Ordinary house, ordinary life, nothing special.

The windows in the living room were closed, and it was impossible to tell whether anyone was inside.

The sun had already set at this time, and there was a faint light coming from the window. Lu Ping suddenly squinted his eyes.

"Look at that window, Vader," Lupine said. "Isn't there something strange about the shadows?"

Wade looked at the criss-crossing long shadows and said, "It seems to have been sealed from the inside."

"Very good." Lupine said in a cold voice, "Now we know why Harry can't communicate."

"Calm down." Vader reminded: "It is illegal to use magic on Muggles."

The Dursleys had a minor wizard, and revealing the existence of magic to them did not violate the Statute of Secrecy. But it is completely illegal to use magic to harm Muggles.

The Ministry of Magic has always been "ambiguous" in law enforcement. Sometimes after breaking the law, as long as the consequences are dealt with (all witnesses will forget about it), there will be no problem; sometimes the same behavior will lead to imprisonment in Azkaban.

Hagrid once conjured a pig's tail for Dally. According to the law, he must be sentenced, but Dumbledore suppressed the matter.

If Lupine breaks the law, the law will be enforced with stricter standards because of his identity as a werewolf.

"I see."

Lupine gritted his teeth, put away the anger on his face, and rang the doorbell.
