Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Page 290
Malfoy suddenly yelled and sat up suddenly in his chair, bumping his head into Pansy's chin as she was leaning over to check on him.
They both screamed in pain at the same time, one covered his forehead and the other covered his chin, gasping for breath. Pansy was in so much pain that tears came out and she couldn't speak for a long time.
Zabini chuckled and said meaningfully: "——Muggle?"
Malfoy glared at him, looked around with lingering fear, and asked unhappily: "Where is that monster?"
"Got chased away by Gray..."
Zabini glanced towards the door and was surprised to find that Vader had left silently.
He had no intention of hiding anything and said bluntly: "He just saved you! Otherwise you might have fainted when you got off the car."
"——he saved me?" Malfoy said grimly, "Who asked him to save me?"
Zabini shrugged, but Pansy glared at Malfoy.
Malfoy shrank his neck and felt the pain in his forehead getting worse.
"Would you like some chocolate?" Goyle asked, handing over a piece of chocolate.
Malfoy took the chocolate, ate it in one bite, and asked vaguely, "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
……
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
Each carriage of the train was not completely enclosed. Through the glass door, the students saw that the person standing outside was Wade Grey. The students who were originally chatting and laughing suddenly became quiet.
They looked at each other, and a girl near the door stood up and opened it, blushing and saying, "Um... Gray? What do you want?"
"Excuse me." Wade said, "I'll look for Professor Abigail."
Across the crowd, he saw Professor Abigail sitting at the innermost.
"Oh……"
Abigail was stunned for a moment, then said, "The train is about to arrive, children, go get ready..."
She looked at Vader and smiled, "We have something to talk about."
Chapter 410 Abigail of Leopard Academy
Several students looked at Wade, then at Abigail, and walked out obediently.
Professor Abigail threw a "silent" at the door and asked, "Ved, what do you want?"
The professor still had a smile on his face, but his expression was slightly tense.
Wade sat opposite and said, "It's nothing important, I just want to say thank you to the professor - luckily you got here in time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer."
Abigail raised an eyebrow.
Maybe it was an illusion, but she always felt that the emphasis of Wei De's words was "timely" rather than "thank you".
——Do you doubt why she was able to show up in time at the critical moment? When other professors didn't arrive yet.
Maybe she was overthinking it...but Abigail still felt she needed to explain.
"Actually, I was already in the car... Remember? I said I wouldn't stay in school during the holidays."
The professor winked playfully and said:
"I was not a student of Hogwarts in the past, but I have heard of this school for a long time, including this unique magic train. Since there is a chance, I will naturally experience it."
"It's just that I was too excited last night and fell asleep shortly after I got in the car, so I didn't show up at the beginning."
"So that's how it is." Wade smiled with relief. "Thanks to your curiosity, nothing happened to anyone... The professor's patronus seems to be a Doberman?"
"Yes...yes..."
For some reason, Abigail's smile suddenly became stiff in response to this ordinary question. She changed the subject unnaturally:
"Yours is an eagle, right? Very handsome, seems to suit you very well. Who taught you that?"
"It's Remus." Wade paused and said, "Remus Lupin, he is my tutor."
When Abigail heard Lupin's name, even though she controlled her expression, the glance she gave Wade for a moment still revealed her thoughts.
Vader could almost read her thoughts - "You hired him as a tutor? Did you know he was a werewolf?"
His heart sank slightly, and he lowered his eyes and asked, "Professor, did you study at Ilvermorny? What kind of school is that?"
"Oh... Ilvermorny..."
Abigail adjusted her hair unconsciously and said, "Ilvermorny was founded based on Hogwarts, and is also divided into four houses - Thunderbird, Panther, Horned Hydra, and Pukki. New students also have to go through the sorting ceremony when they enter school..."
"Which college is the professor from?" Wade asked.
"Me? I'm from Panther College. Actually, when I stood on the Gordian Knot - oh, this is the Sorting Ceremony of Ilvermorny - the statues of Panther and Thunderbird both responded to me, but in the end I chose Panther College..."
Abigail smiled unconsciously, as if she was recalling her happy college life.
Vader responded with a word or two from time to time, while silently observing her.
In fact, he knew something about Ilvermorny - among the thousands of books in the Hogwarts library, there were many wizards' travel notes and magic notes, and there were also many references to other magic schools in the world.
Hogwarts is recognized as the earliest and best school of magic, but other schools also have their own characteristics. Ilvermorny, the imitator, is mentioned the most.
Some people praised it as the most democratic and impartial magic school, while others despised it because one of its founders was a Muggle, and that Muggle named James Stewart even served as the headmaster.
In contrast, the Sorting Ceremony of Illuminati was well received, and people generally believed that its two-way selection mechanism was superior to the broken hat of Hogwarts.
Wade remembered that the cat-leopard and thunderbird of Ilvermorny were actually equivalent to the Gryffindor of Hogwarts. The cat-leopard symbolized warriors, and the thunderbird represented the love of adventure.
Although this may sound a bit absolute, the choice of college does represent to a large extent the characteristics of the students, and these characteristics will be constantly resonated, assimilated, and strengthened by the people around them during several years of study and life.
Cat-leopard... courage...
Wade secretly wondered: Was Dumbledore's attitude of waiting because he could see that Abigail was actually a "Gryffindor"?
Someone who can summon a Patronus can't be that bad... Someone like Umbridge who is happily evil must be a very rare exception...
Wade muttered to himself and asked, "Is there no train from Ilvermorny to the school? How do students get to the school?"
Abigail smiled and said, "Ilvermorny is built on the top of a mountain, surrounded by dense forests. It can't be reached by means of transportation like trains."
"Students usually use Floo powder to reach the village near the school, and then ride on brooms up. In recent years, magic carpets have become popular... As for students from Muggle families, the school has special magic carriages to pick them up..."
Abigail lost track of time as she spoke, until an announcement was made on the train asking students to get ready to get off, and she suddenly came to her senses.
"Ah, it's already this late...you should hurry up and pack your luggage," said Abigail.
"Okay, professor, see you next semester." Wade said, "I'm looking forward to the new Defense Against the Dark Arts class."
Because Dumbledore had not returned before, the renovation of the Chamber of Secrets had not been completed, so werewolves, vampires and other puppets never had the opportunity to meet the students.
I think this course will become more exciting next semester.
After hearing his words, Professor Abigail was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Happy holidays, Wade."
"Happy holidays to you too, Professor."
……
The train slowly arrived at King's Cross Station, which was already crowded with people.
Although the parents had already learned through the Friends' Book that the train was out of danger, they still rushed to the station and waited anxiously.
"Anthony, honey, are you all right?"
"Miles...Miles...Has anyone seen Miles Blackie?"
"Ginny, my darling, let me see how you are?"
Before the train stopped, parents on the platform started shouting, trying desperately to find their children in the crowd.
As soon as the car door opened, the students rushed out and ran to their parents. Some of them buried themselves in their mothers' arms and cried loudly.
Wade also saw his father in the crowd. He was standing very close to the track, standing on tiptoe to look into the car, his eyes searching anxiously.
Suddenly, he saw Wade walking over with a box, and his eyes froze for a moment.
The man's lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to call his name, but no sound came out. He took two steps forward, and his legs weakened and he almost fell.
Wade's body shook subconsciously and he was in front of his father. He opened his arms and hugged his father.
"Dad, don't worry, I'm fine."
Vader said in a steady voice.
He felt his father's body trembling slightly, and then he hugged him tightly, as if he was afraid that he would fly away.
Harry, who was pulling the suitcase behind and was two steps slower, looked at the father and son with envy, while Michael next to him narrowed his eyes.
If it wasn't his illusion...was Vader just apparating?
——When did this guy learn such difficult magic?
Michael immediately looked around guiltily, fearing that someone might see this, because it is illegal to Apparate without permission.
Of course, the punishment for this kind of behavior is not severe, usually just a fine.
Fortunately, everyone around was immersed in joy and fear. There were quite a few students crying and parents yelling in anger. No one else saw Wade's Apparition, and even the explosive sound was ignored.
Because many parents took their children and left the station directly by Apparation, and some senior students also used this method to go home as if to show off.
"I'm glad you're okay... Thank God you're okay... I only heard about the attack on your train after I arrived at the station..."
Ferdinand said hoarsely.
"We just encountered a group of hungry Dementors." Wade deliberately downplayed the situation and said, "They are under the control of the Ministry of Magic and dare not do anything to us. At most, they can only suck away some of our happy emotions."
Ferdinand shook his head with lingering fear.
He was not one of those Muggle parents who knew nothing about the magical world and knew how dangerous and uncontrollable Dementors were.
Not far away, Mr. and Mrs. Granger were quickly comforted by Hermione. They smiled with relief and said, "Haha, so that's how it is... Your mother and I thought something had happened to you!"
"Even employees of the Ministry of Magic cannot just stop students' trains!" Mrs. Granger said dissatisfiedly, "This is too barbaric!"
"Alright, alright, I've told you it's okay!" Hermione walked out of the station with her parents, "Let's go, I'm starving!"
