Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

In the morning, when the first ray of sunlight broke through the layers of clouds and shone down, Wade opened his eyes.

During the last school year, he maintained the habit of getting up immediately at sunrise for a long time, forming a stable biological clock, and he still wakes up very early today.

Wade closed his eyes in bed and rested for two minutes, then got up, washed up and went downstairs.

At this time, the Grays had not yet woken up, but the smell of fried bread and butter was already wafting from the kitchen.

As I passed the stairs, the mirror next to me shook and made a sound:

"Good morning, Master Gray, your outfit today is as casual and carefree as ever..."

"Thank you, I'm wearing pajamas." Wade replied.

"This is the printed silk pajamas carefully selected by Madam for you. It can show your noble temperament. Every time I see it, it makes my eyes light up in the mirror..."

"Really? But you have no eyes." Wade said.

"This is just an adjective, young master. The sun is just right today, so it's very suitable to wear a light-colored shirt! Paired with dark casual pants, it looks clean and neat. It's very suitable for going out for a walk or meeting friends."

The mirror said lively, and when Wade walked over, its voice could still be heard coming from behind——

"Even if it's to visit the elders, it would be very appropriate..."

Vader shook his head.

This verbose guy was a gift he bought for his mother, Fiona, and Ferdinand told him that Fiona could sometimes discuss clothes and makeup with the mirror for two hours.

To a certain extent, this freed the father and son from the fixed sentence combinations such as "everything is fine" and "good-looking", but Ferdinand seemed a little lost and would go over to the mirror from time to time, trying to insert himself into the conversation with his wife in the mirror.

But that territory was too foreign to him.

Then, he began to secretly study clothing magazines.

Wade: "..."

He really wanted to tell his father that if he wanted to join their field, he might have to figure out the lipstick number first.

Leaving the mirror behind, Wade came to the first floor. The living room has been cleaned, and several little dolls are making breakfast in the kitchen.

Originally, before Vader went to school at Hogwarts, cleaning staff would come regularly every day to clean and cook. Fiona only had to prepare breakfast every day.

Later, there were more and more books and items related to magic in the house. In order to avoid exposing the secrets, Fiona took over most of the housework.

Although Ferdinand will help, he also has a lot of work to do, and the trivial and complicated housework still takes up a lot of Fiona's time.

Vader felt a little guilty about this and had been thinking about hiring a house elf for his family, but he was worried about the safety of the Grays.

Even though most house elves are loyal to their wizard masters, there are also rebels among them, and a common problem among magical creatures is that they look down on all non-magical people.

For example, Kreacher from the Black family, and McGee from Hogwarts, they are all willing to obey Vader's orders. But if they come to Gray's house, will they be as obedient as Ferdinand or Fiona?

Vader wasn't sure of that.

Even if they are willing to serve Vader's parents because of his relationship, if they have contempt or dissatisfaction in their hearts, the house elves will show this feeling very straightforwardly.

And if you hire some wandering elves who have been kicked out by their owners...if you don't know the root cause, placing such a creature with strong magic power in your home will also be a threat to the Grays.

Originally, Vader thought Dobby was a good choice, but then he invented the golem himself, and all problems were solved.

Nowadays, the three little devils take on most of the housework. Fiona only prepares a loving meal when she wants to, or sometimes knits sweaters and gloves for her family to pass the time.

Now that the golems have become accustomed to the routine of several people at home, Vader just sat down at the dining table when a cup of hot coffee was delivered to them. After a while, a sumptuous breakfast was also placed on the table.

The little doll Coco held a kettle taller than herself and steadily poured a cup of hot water.

Wade cut a piece of bread and asked at the same time: "Have you noticed any strange people wandering around recently?"

Coco said: "The weirdest person is Alastor Moody. He broke a bicycle on the road last night with a tearing spell."

Vader, who was about to eat the bread, was startled, put down his fork and asked, "Is there anyone from the Ministry of Magic to handle it?"

"No." Coco said, "He didn't attract Muggles' attention. The owner of the bicycle thought it was an accident."

"Um."

Vader thought for a while, and the Ministry of Magic was probably used to Moody often causing similar accidents, so they didn't bother to show up unless it was possible to break the secrecy law.

If an unexpected situation needs to be dealt with... the person responsible will most likely be Arthur Weasley.

He had eaten breakfast, and another doll, Lucy, had placed today's newspaper on the table.

Because she was very short, when she ran over holding a stack of newspapers, it seemed as if the newspapers were moving on their own.

Wade couldn't help but smile and asked, "Do you need me to help you get bigger? It might be more convenient."

Lucy shook her head and said: "No, we are used to it. And this way we can go out with the master."

Wade nodded and said no more.

Because puppets are infused with thoughts, they often feel no different from real people. They can talk, understand vague commands, and do all kinds of sophisticated and complex work.

Except for reproduction and metabolism, they can basically do everything that humans can do.

In comparison, the current Muggle AI technology seems clumsy and mechanical.

After breakfast, Wade saw that it was almost time, so he said hello to Ferdinand who had just got up and prepared to go out.

"When will you be back?" Ferdinand asked.

"It should be in the evening." Wade said, "If I have to stay there overnight, I will send you a message."

"Yeah." Ferdinand nodded calmly, wanted to say something, swallowed it, and finally said, "Don't forget to eat."

Wade naturally said yes, and then went upstairs to change clothes.

Ferdinand stood in front of the window, lowered his head to light a cigarette, and suddenly heard a fluttering sound.

Looking up, a peregrine falcon was flying away.

"How can a person weighing more than 100 pounds be converted into a bird weighing more than 1 pound?" He lowered his head and said to the puppet next to him: "Is this reasonable? Doesn't matter need to be conserved?"

Coco seemed to be in a daze for a moment before saying: "This is magic, Master."

"Yes..."

Ferdinand sighed: "This is... magic."
