Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

Ferdinand told Wade in detail about the war caused by Grindelwald in modern times and the brutal killings brought about by the second generation Dark Lord.

Even the last news they received about the magical world was that their parents were killed in the war one after another.

"Vade, you are very outstanding and always make your mother and I proud. But you have to know that in the wizarding world, people value origin first."

"Pure-blood, half-blood, and Muggle-born are naturally divided into different levels in the eyes of many people. About a dozen years ago, the most powerful dark wizard at that time, the You-Know-Who, was extremely devoted to the [Bloodline Theory]. He and his followers brutally killed many Muggles and Muggle-born wizards, as well as pure-bloods who opposed him."

"Your mother and I were also forced to completely cut off contact with the wizarding world at that time... Even though peace has been restored now, there are definitely still many wizards who believe that pure-bloods are supreme. I have no doubt that they will pass on this prejudice and malice to their children..."

"Wade, I'm worried... Hogwarts may not be as wonderful as we thought..."

Ferdinand said worriedly.

After listening to this, Wade smiled quietly.

"Don't worry, Dad. There must be classmates with the same background as me in school. As long as I have enough friends around me, others won't dare to cause trouble to me easily, right?"

He paused, and then continued, "Moreover... no matter where you are, absolute strength can crush any prejudice. I will study hard and try to become the best."

After hearing this, Ferdinand did not feel relieved. He thought worriedly: But my son... you have never shown any magical abilities. Maybe your magic is only slightly stronger than a squib...

How can there be any strength in this case?

But out of respect for the young man's self-esteem, Ferdinand did not speak his mind.

..........................................

Minerva McGonagall arrived faster than Vader had imagined.

The next day after receiving the letter, when the Wade family was having breakfast, they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Wade put down his knife and fork to open the door, and the moment he saw the person, he immediately recognized her identity.

It wasn't because she looked exactly like the one in the movie - Vader had almost forgotten the plot of the movie he had seen many years ago, and he didn't remember much about the actors' images;

It wasn't because the serious-looking lady in front of him was wearing a conspicuous green robe, which was something ordinary people would never dress like.

But because there is a string of handwritten names above her head——

[Minerva McGonagall].

Wade was silent, and doubts arose in his heart again - was all this true?

Or maybe he traveled to a game world called Harry Potter instead of the world of Harry Potter? He was just an NPC who had awakened his past life memories and self-awareness...

"Hello, Mr. Grey."

While Weed was lost in thought, Minerva McGonagall smiled as gently as she could, but she still looked very serious.

"I'm Minerva McGonagall, Deputy Headmistress of Hogwarts and Professor of Transfiguration."

Wade quickly collected his scattered thoughts and said, "Welcome, Professor McGonagall. Please come in and have a cup of tea."

Mr. and Mrs. Gray hurried out upon hearing the voice. They looked in awe at this wizard who seemed to be mysterious and difficult to get along with. They could not find their voice for a moment and stammered:

"Yes, welcome--welcome--professor, ma'am, please come in and take a seat!"

Ferdinand forced a warm smile and glanced hurriedly at his son, as if he was worried that he might be cursed by the wizard.

Wade was much calmer because he knew that the lady was an extremely decent and kind person.

He controlled his gaze so as not to look over the other person's head, and moved sideways to open the door and invite the other person in.

McGonagall came this time, firstly to prove the authenticity of the magic school and persuade the couple to allow their children to go to school; secondly to take Wade to buy school supplies.

She had seen many Muggle families who were incredulous about magic, who suspected that she wanted to capture their children for secret experiments, or who wanted their children to go to Muggle schools, and she had prepared several sets of speeches in advance.

However, this family did not have too many doubts about magic. Instead, they were more concerned about the study environment, which made her previous task easy to complete.

So before long, the group arrived at Charing Cross Road in London, and Professor McGonagall took them into the dirty and small Leaky Cauldron.

Probably because it was too early, there were not many customers in the bar. A hunchbacked man who was wiping the tables greeted them, "Good morning, Professor McGonagall."

He glanced at the family of three dressed in Muggle clothes, especially at Wade who was much shorter than the others, and said casually, "Is this child a new student at Hogwarts this year?"

"Good morning, Tom," said Professor McGonagall. "I'm taking Mr. Gray to buy the things he'll need for school."

Several people walked through the bar and came to the small patio at the back. Professor McGonagall stood next to the trash can, took out her wand, and pointed: "Mr. Gray, please remember this place. If you want to enter Diagon Alley, you need to go through here. Three blocks from the top, two blocks from the side..."

The wand tapped three times on a tile.

All the bricks on the wall moved, as if an invisible hand was adjusting their shape. In the blink of an eye, a spacious arch appeared on the wall, and a noisy voice came over us.

"Wow--"

The Gray family couldn't help but exclaim.

In front of me is a winding street with a variety of shops on both sides selling all kinds of strange things.

People in wizard robes came and went, some bargaining, some children acting coquettishly with their parents, some chasing and playing, giving people an exceptionally noisy and lively feeling.

Mag led the three of them through many shops and arrived at Gringotts. Ferdinand had already prepared the money to be exchanged. He took out a large bag of jingling pounds and exchanged them for fifty gold galleons.

Before they left, Professor McGonagall reminded them that the amount of Muggle banknotes that could be exchanged at Gringotts was limited, but there were no restrictions on metal coins, gold, jewelry, etc.

Then, under the guidance of Professor McGonagall, they bought uniforms, textbooks, scales, cauldrons, wands and other items needed for school, and finally bought an owl as a pet.

Accompanied by Professor McGonagall of Hogwarts, the shopkeepers were polite even when they saw they were wearing Muggle clothes.

By the way, Wade's wand is made of poplar wood with unicorn hair, and is twelve inches (about 30 cm) long. Poplar wood symbolizes rebirth, and Wade finds it very wonderful.

It was as if his secret was seen through by this magic wand.

Chapter 3 Meeting Harry Potter

After shopping, Professor McGonagall sent the family out of Diagon Alley and left. She had another little wizard to guide. The Greys stood outside the Leaky Cauldron, looked at each other, and grinned at the same time.

"Let's find a hotel first—"

"I see there's accommodation upstairs at the Leaky Cauldron—"

"Don't! What if you run into a bad wizard? It's safer to stay in a normal hotel."

"That's right, Miss Fiona! I remember there's a nice hotel nearby that allows pets to stay."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Wade shook his head pretending to be helpless, carrying the owl's cage. The couple, one helping him hold the books while the other carried the crucible and other items, quickly went to the hotel to check in.

After putting down their things, they were back in front of the Leaky Cauldron in less than half an hour.

After entering the room, Mr. and Mrs. Gray took out a bag and pulled out a wizard robe from it.

Seeing Wade looking at them in surprise, Fiona blinked and whispered, "While you were getting your clothes custom-made, I took the opportunity to buy ready-made wizard robes. Don't just stand there, there are some for you, too, go change into them!"

The three of them put on robes in the corner. Fortunately, it was hot in the summer and they were wearing little, so the robes did not make them look bulky when worn outside.

Fiona also bought herself a hooded cloak. When she put on the hood, only a small part of her chin could be seen on her face, making her look very cold and mysterious.

At this point they seemed to have completely blended in with the mysterious and dim atmosphere of the bar.

Ferdinand pretended to be a regular customer and ordered a lunch. While waiting for the meal, he whispered to the two of them, "Although this restaurant may be a little unhygienic, I want to try it."

"Yeah." Fiona nodded and said solemnly: "I understand! Me too."

"What's the difference?" Wade complained: "What's the best food in the UK? Foreign food!"

Sure enough, when lunch was served, the Grays stared at each other for a long time, and neither of them had the courage to use the unwashed fork to eat on the black and dirty table.

Finally, Fiona picked up the bread with her handkerchief and ate a few bites reluctantly, while Ferdinand drank a few sips of rum.

"There's no difference!"

“It tastes worse than the ones bought in supermarkets…”

As he was speaking, the door suddenly opened and a huge figure completely blocked the light in front of the door.

The Grays looked up and gasped.

"Oh - my God -" Ferdinand groaned and subconsciously blocked his wife and children, "God bless -"

An extremely tall and burly man stood there, his head almost touching the ceiling as he bent over to squeeze in through the door.

His presence was so strong that most people completely ignored the tiny person walking in front of him.

Only Wade looked at the skinny kid, and as expected, he saw Harry Potter above his head, and...

【Tom Riddle】.

Unlike the Greys' horror, everyone else in the bar was happy to see the big man. Everyone greeted him with a smile, and the bar owner's tone became more enthusiastic: "As usual, Hagrid?"

"No, Tom, I'm doing work for Hogwarts!" said the giant honestly.

"Great! It looks like he's not a dangerous person." Ferdinand breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What did he say, Hogwarts?" Fiona noticed what the other party said: "Wade, is he also a teacher at the school?"

She craned her neck to look over, only to see that everyone else in the bar had stood up and gathered around, lining up to shake hands with the big guy... and a kid he had brought with him.

"Oh oh oh, looks like a big shot has arrived!"

Fiona immediately jumped up, threw down the bread with only a corner missing, and shouted, "Hurry up! Ferdie, Wade, let's go too!"

Ferdinand never refused her requests unless necessary, let alone such a small matter.

So he pushed his chair aside and walked over, shaking hands with the boy like everyone else, saying seriously, "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Potter!"

As if he actually knew who Harry Potter was.

Surrounded, Harry Potter couldn't help but shake hands with strangers one after another, and was overwhelmed by their admiration and compliments for him.

He accidentally met the eyes of the black-haired boy at the back of the crowd, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when the other party looked at him curiously.

Harry has not yet adapted to the fact that he has suddenly become a celebrity. He always feels that this fame seems to have been stolen.

And Vader has already looked at another person——

A pale young man with a purple scarf wrapped around his head approached Harry Potter tentatively. He looked very nervous and spoke stutteringly, as if he was easily frightened.

Seeing this, Fiona kindly made way for him so that he could shake hands with the "famous" Harry Potter.

And in Wade's eyes, the young man also had two almost overlapping names above his head -
