Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying!

Ordinary minor curses will be countered by the wand, but slightly more powerful poison curses will feel the resistance.

Vader could sense that if he insisted on using this wand to learn spells like the Fiendfyre and Imperius, the wand might "die."

Books about wands all say that unicorn tails are prone to melancholy, which is its inherent flaw.

What do you do when your own child has too high a sense of morality? Then you can only find another "thug" who has no morals either.

After trying them out for a while, Wade selected three wands that he felt were most compatible with.

A walnut wand paired with a dragon heartstring symbolizes intelligence and wisdom.

A mountain pear wood wand, also adorned with phoenix tail feathers, offering excellent defensive capabilities.

A pine wand adorned with thunderbird tail feathers symbolizes individuality.

Since they weren't expensive, he simply bought them all, then wandered around the store and discovered some pleasant surprises.

This magic mirror can offer advice on its owner's clothing and appearance. I don't know who its previous owner was, but it had a surprisingly high level of aesthetic sense and a sweet tongue.

As Wade walked past it, it started shouting loudly:

"My God, I can't believe my eyes. Sir, you've wasted the beauty God gave you!"

"Listen to me, put on that silver-gray robe over there, and wear the pocket watch on my left. If you have any money to spare, wear that hat on the shelf too; it will accentuate your melancholic yet charming aura!"

Wade was amused by it.

He carefully examined the magic runes on the magic mirror, and after confirming that there were no curses or other bad things attached to it, he decided to buy the mirror.

Fiona would love this mirror where she can discuss her outfits and style.

Chapter 124 Theo's Decision

I bought a gift for my mother, so of course I couldn't forget my father.

Wade saw a bag made of deformed lizard skin, with an expanded interior that could hold quite a lot of things.

Most importantly, only the owner can take out the items inside, making them extremely expensive and rare.

However, the spell on the bag has been broken, causing it to become a bag that only goes in and doesn't come out, which is why it was left here and no one cares about it.

Wade looked at it and realized he was capable of fixing it, so he decided to buy it.

Before his eyes, the damaged magic circuits and spells were clearly visible, and no hidden curses or poisons could escape his notice.

Then Wade found a pair of broken two-way mirrors, and he decided to try to repair them himself.

A set of wizard chess that had stopped moving was just the right amount of time for him to practice the art of infusing life into inanimate objects through bio-alchemy;

Eyepieces and detectors can be used for early warning;

The invisibility cloak, which is also in a damaged state, can also be used as a practice material for alchemy.

Then he picked out some odds and ends, such as crystal bottles and potion ingredients, and went to pay for them.

Leslie flipped through the pages, somewhat surprised: "Three wands?"

"Yeah, do you have purchase restrictions here?" Wade asked back.

"of course not."

Leslie calculated the prices one by one, and when she saw the potion ingredients, she had another meal.

Most of the ingredients are contraband because they can be used to make some very dangerous potions, or rather, poisons.

However, since Knockturn Alley has always existed, the so-called "contraband" is just a legal provision. In reality, if no one reports it, the Auror wouldn't bother with this.

Even some Aurors often come to him to buy dangerous things.

It's just that this person was brought by Theo Jr., which is why Leslie is paying extra attention to him.

As Wade paid the bill and left, Theo was about to follow when Leslie suddenly said, "Theo."

The boy turned around.

"Go home early," Leslie said solemnly.

His underlying meaning, of course, was—to stay away from that wizard.

Theo, whether he understood or not, waved and smiled, saying, "Understood, Mr. Leslie... Goodbye."

The candles in the shop went out one by one, until only the one next to Leslie was still burning.

Through the window, he saw Theo jog over to the wizard, chatting and laughing as they walked together, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.

……

The topic that Theo and the "dangerous wizard" were discussing was something Leslie could never have imagined.

"Have you finished your holiday homework?" Theo asked.

“Of course,” Wade asked. “And you?”

“I still need to write a paper on Transfiguration,” Theo sighed. “You know I’m not very good at it.”

"Do you need any reference?" Wade asked indifferently.

Theo was tempted for a moment, but then shook his head: "No... I'll write it myself. There's still a week left!"

Although the paper needs to be a foot long, he can still write the words a little bigger.

“You can take a look at the book ‘Theory of Metamorphic Deformation.’ Chapter 3 is very similar to the topic of our paper,” Wade suggested.

"Really? I think my dad has this book on his bookshelf. I'll take a look when I get home."

Theo asked happily, then asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I've bought everything I needed, and I'm ready to go home," Wade said.

The two reached the alley entrance, where they were about to part ways.

"Vade..."

Theo looked at Wade and said, "Thank you for saving me and my brother. I... um... if there's anything you want to do, I'll do everything I can to help."

He emphasized very seriously: "—Whatever it is."

Wade smiled and pulled up his hood: "Okay... I'll definitely come to you if I need anything."

"Don't wait until you feel the need; accidents always happen when people think nothing will happen."

Theo said, "I know my magic is still weak, but even if it's just going out for a walk or helping someone get something, having someone with me is better than being alone, right?"

“Wade, whatever you’re doing, I hope I can be a part of it, instead of always being helped and saved.”

“I want to help you, Wade. I hope you can trust me.”

Vader looked at him, his mind racing with countless thoughts, and after a long while, he pulled down his hood and said:

"I'll contact you when it's time to take action... Don't wait until then if you haven't finished your homework!"

He said with a light laugh.

Theo laughed too: "Don't underestimate me! I can finish writing it this afternoon."

The two said goodbye and walked in different directions.

Throughout the entire process, Theo never asked Vader why he had become the way he was now, nor did he ask him why he bought so many old wands.

Wade has secrets, and of course he knows them.

But he also knew that Wade's identity was revealed to him because he was trying to save them.

Just imagine the consequences if those two brothers were captured by werewolves...

Even if the werewolf didn't kill them, but instead waited until the full moon to transform his brother into a werewolf... The thought that such a thing almost actually happened made Theo want to kill his foolish, gullible self.

Wade saved them.

Theo silently recited the words in his mind, his eyes gradually becoming clear and firm, and his mood even becoming somewhat joyful.

So what if Wade might be doing something that's illegal?

Everyone knows that the Ministry of Magic's laws are flawed and its enforcement is arbitrary.

And his friend...

Even if he hides his true nature, he remains upright, strong, and reliable.

It is my good fortune to be able to travel with him.

……

Summer vacation has come to an end in a flash.

The day before the holiday ended, Wade fixed the lizard skin bag.

For this reason, he even stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for two days, because using magic there wouldn't be detected.

Through the Book of Friends, he also learned that Lupin had actually bought a new house in Hogsmeade.

[Lupin: That way, when you're in third grade, you and Harry can both come over to my house. It's not big, but I promise it'll be a lot of fun.]

[Lupin: And... this is the first time I've ever had a home to host guests. Thank you so much for not turning me away just because I'm a werewolf, Wade.]

He wrote this in his friend's book.
