Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Page 283

"Hmm... Let me take a look first..."

Wade said, carefully studying the design ideas of the twins on the drawing.

In fact, he had thought about something like the curse-proof hat a long time ago. Even if he didn't sell it, it would be good to help his friends increase their safety.

But later, Vader gave up this idea because he found that this thing could only resist some small magics that would not cause much damage, and it did not have much practical significance.

This makes its usefulness even more limited.

So in the original book, this thing is just a funny product for the Weasley brothers.

However, most people in the wizarding world are useless, and only a few have mastered the Shield Charm. Therefore, during the war, the sales of this product were very good.

The drawing placed in front of Wade at this time was not much different from the curse-proof hat in the original plot in terms of effect. There was a slight omission in the design of the magic words, which Wade quickly corrected.

Wade had originally given up because of this, but after what happened on the island, he came up with new ideas.

"This kind of defense is too ordinary, but maybe we can do something with the materials?" Wade said.

The twins looked at each other, then asked in unison, "How?"

Vader asked, "Have you ever observed a beehive?"

Fred nodded and agreed. "I heard that the beehives on the other side of the earth are the same. It's like they were designed by some god. It's unreal."

"Hmm." Wade casually drew a six-sided honeycomb on the paper and said, "The honeycomb structure can be used to make the largest diamond-shaped container with the least amount of material. It is very strong."

"Moreover, this mesh structure can disperse the external forces from all directions, and its stability, sound insulation and heat insulation performance are very excellent. Because it saves materials, the overall weight is also relatively light."

Wade was very familiar with the honeycomb structure, because the reason why his wardrobe space could expand steadily and continuously was because he used this structure to draw the magic patterns.

"So you see, if we use titanium-copper alloy to make a honeycomb structure for the anti-curse hat or anti-curse vest—preferably a vest, as it will have better defensive performance—and then apply the Armor Charm, then we can..."

"Wait a minute!" Fred raised his palm and asked, "What is titanium-copper alloy?"

Wade paused, then said, "It is an alloy based on copper with a small amount of titanium added. It has high strength, high elasticity, and good elongation. It is widely used in Muggle society."

George looked at his brother. "I haven't heard of that at all...what about you?"

Wade carefully recalled several magazines he had read at home before, and then said:

"This alloy seems to have been invented several decades ago and has applications in the aerospace field... Probably no wizard has used it for alchemy yet."

“Aerospace?” Fred whistled excitedly, “Cool! New material! We’ll use this!”

Vader: “…”

Fortunately, the Weasley twins were not the kind of wizards who were conservative and would not object to the use of something just because it was a Muggle thing.

George was a little worried: "Will new materials be expensive?"

The hats and waistcoats that Mrs. Weasley had knitted for them were what they had originally intended to use for the experiment. They were worn out beyond repair, and even Ron was unwilling to pick them up and continue wearing them.

Vader was speechless: "...You have a good income now, but you are still reluctant to buy materials? And how much of the lining inside the clothes can be used? One piece of alloy can make many pieces of anti-curse vests."

He raised his hand and high-fived Fred, looking ecstatic.

Vader shook his head secretly and continued to ponder the design of the anti-spell vest.

In fact, the dividends given to the twins by Aslan's Magic Workshop were not small, but perhaps because they had lived in poverty since childhood, the twins still maintained the habit of saving whenever possible.

Speaking of which, the older sons of the Weasley family, except Percy, are all earning money. Bill and Charlie have decent jobs and receive good salaries; Fred and George earn even more.

Wade didn't understand this family economic relationship, but he didn't intend to interrupt, and they soon became involved in a heated discussion.

……

On Monday, Wade did not see Dumbledore at school, but Harry moved to sit next to him during breakfast.

"Wade, have you signed the detention list?" Harry asked while cutting the steak.

"Well, I think so." Harry poked his steak with his fork in annoyance and said, "Remus and Sirius seem to be busy, you know, because of the island... They may not be free during the holidays, so they suggested that I stay in school."

In his first year, Harry would have happily signed the detention list. He would rather stay alone at Hogwarts than go back to the Dursleys at Privet Drive.

But now, his home is so close, but he can't go back, which is frustrating.

"What's wrong with that?" Michael next to him said, "If you want to stay in school during the holidays, then stay in school. If you don't want to stay, can't you go back anytime?"

Last year, they often used the Vanishing Cabinet to sneak into Hogsmeade to play. But this semester, the workload suddenly increased, and the Lupin family was often alone, so they rarely used the Vanishing Cabinet.

Harry sighed, "How can this be the same?"

Michael wondered, “Don’t you want to go out and play?”

Harry shook his head silently.

After the novelty wore off, I realized that the shops there hadn't changed much over the years, so even on weekends in Hogsmeade, people just went there for a walk and bought some necessities.

In comparison, the school at least has a maze, which is much more interesting.

Harry wanted to go back, not because of the place, but because of the people who were supposed to be there.

But Sirius couldn't spare the time, and he would finish every message in a hurry. As for Remus, after he recovered, he also often disappeared, and even replied to the messages in the friend account after a long time.

When Ferdinand and Fiona first met Harry, they didn't know his deeds and identity. Later, after learning about various news in the wizarding world, they became extremely curious about this "savior".

Especially Fiona, as a mother, she sympathizes very much with Harry, a child who lost his parents at a young age and has a rough fate.

Harry hesitated, and before he could speak, he heard Michael protest, "Ved, are you only inviting Harry? Are we still good friends?"

Wade smiled: "Of course, I also want to invite you to my house to play."

"I couldn't spare the time before... I'll definitely do it next time." Wade asked again: "How about it, Harry, do you want to come?"

Harry's slightly tense shoulders relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Okay!"

——This way Ron and Hermione don't have to stay in school because of him.

If Harry had to stay in school, they would choose to stay in school.

But no one had seen their families for several months. Harry could go back to Hogsmeade to reunite during the weekend, but Ron and Hermione didn't have such an opportunity.

He didn't want them to miss the opportunity to celebrate Christmas with their family because of him.

"Wade, are there any fun things at your place?" Michael asked curiously, "What do you do during your vacation?"

"Um……"

He used to spend most of his holidays reading, but in the past two years, the Christmas holidays have become more colorful, but basically have nothing to do with fun.

Of course you can't do this if you're entertaining friends.

"You can go to the movies, the opera, or go ice skating..."

Wade recalled the activities that Fiona insisted on taking him to: "There are also light shows and Christmas markets, there are many things to do in the winter playground, and there are circus performances in the evening..."

Although he is of mixed blood, after Michael's mother married his wizard father, the family's life also followed the wizard traditions.

They lived on the edge of the village and had little contact with nearby villagers, let alone going to big cities to participate in various Muggle celebrations.

Michael's previous impression of Christmas was just about giving gifts, turkey dinners and Christmas trees. He was happy to receive gifts, but other than that there was nothing special.

Harry's eyes also lit up slightly.

Several people were talking about their Christmas plans when a large group of owls suddenly flew in from outside the auditorium. The students hurriedly protected the long table, but some messy feathers still fell on the food.

Students who got up late could only sigh and give up the barbecue and pumpkin juice and eat two baked potatoes instead.

The only publications still delivered on a large scale by owl are magazines and the Daily Prophet.

These messengers, covered in cold air, threw the rolled-up newspapers in front of the students and flew out again.

Michael complained as he unwrapped the newspaper: "I can receive mail when I wake up in the morning or on the way to class. Why do I have to receive mail during mealtimes?"

His voice stopped abruptly.

Michael carefully read the content of the front-page headline, suddenly sneered, and said: "Wade, Harry, look at this."

Wade also received a newspaper, but before he could open it, he turned his head and took a look, and saw the words written in large black letters on the newspaper:

Chapter 405 News

Wade also opened the newspaper in his hand.
