Chapter 124 Theo's Decision
When I bought a gift for my mother, of course I couldn’t leave out my father.
Vader saw a bag made of deformed lizard skin, with expanded space inside that could hold a lot of things.
The most important thing is that only the owner can take out the things inside, so they are very expensive and rare.
But the magic spell on this bag has been damaged, causing it to become a bag that can only go in and out, so it is left here without anyone caring about it.
Wade looked at it and realized that he had the ability to repair it, so he decided to buy it too.
In front of his eyes, the damaged magic circuits and spells were clearly visible, and there were no hidden curses or curses that could be hidden from him.
Then Vader found another pair of damaged double-sided mirrors, which he planned to try to repair himself;
A set of wizard chess pieces that no longer moves, just allows him to practice injecting thoughts into dead objects in biological alchemy;
Looking glasses and detectors can be used for early warning;
There is also an invisibility cloak that is also in a damaged state and can also be used as a training material for alchemy.
Then he picked out some odds and ends, such as crystal bottles, potion ingredients, etc., and went to check out together.
Leslie flipped through it and was a little surprised: "Three wands?"
"Yes, do you still have purchase restrictions here?" Wade asked.
"of course not."
Leslie calculated the prices one by one, and was stunned again when he saw the potion ingredients.
Most of the materials are contraband because they can be used to brew some very dangerous potions, or poisons.
However, since Knockturn Alley has always existed, so-called "contraband" is also a legal requirement. In fact, if no one reports it, the Auror will not do anything about it.
Even some Aurors frequented him to buy dangerous things.
It's just that this person was brought here by Little Theo, so Leslie will pay extra attention.
When Wade paid and went out, Theo was about to leave too. Leslie suddenly said: "Theo."
The young man turned around.
"Go home early." Leslie said solemnly.
His hidden meaning was naturally - stay away from that wizard.
Theo didn't know whether he understood or not. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I know, Mr. Leslie...goodbye."
The candles in the store were extinguished one after another, and finally only the one next to Leslie was still burning.
Through the window, he saw Theo trotting up to the wizard, talking and laughing with him, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
…
The topic of conversation between Theo and the "Dangerous Wizard" at this time was something Leslie would never have thought of.
"Have you finished all your holiday homework?" Theo asked.
"Of course." Wade asked, "What about you?"
"I still need a paper on transfiguration." Theo sighed, "You know, I'm not very good at this."
"Do you need a reference?" Wade asked nonchalantly.
Theo was tempted for a moment, but still shook his head: "No... I'll write it myself. There's still a week left!"
Although the paper needed to be one foot, he could have made the lettering larger.
"You can read the book "Metamorphic Deformation Theory". The content of Chapter 3 is very similar to the title of our thesis this time." Wade suggested.
"Really? My dad seems to have this book on his bookshelf. I'll take a look when I get back."
Theo said happily and asked: "Do you have any other plans next?"
"I've bought all the things I wanted to buy, and I'm ready to go home," Wade said.
The two of them walked to the alley and were about to separate.
"Vade..."
Theo looked at Wade and said, "Thank you for saving me and my brother. I...well...if you want to do anything, I will do my best to help."
He emphasized very seriously: "-No matter what it is."
Vader smiled and pulled up his hood: "Okay...if there is need, I will definitely come to you."
"Don't wait until you think you need it. Accidents happen when people think they're going to be fine."
Theo said: "I know my magic power is still very weak now, but even if it's just to relax and help pick up something, it's better to be accompanied by someone than to be alone, right?"
"Vade, no matter what you are doing, I hope I can be one of them, instead of always being helped and saved."
"I want to help you, Vader. I hope you can trust me, too."
Wade looked at him, wondering how many thoughts he had in his mind. After a while, he lowered his hood and said:
"Then when it's time to take action, I will look for you...don't wait until you have finished your homework!"
he said with a chuckle.
Theo also smiled: "Don't underestimate me! I can finish it this afternoon."
The two said goodbye and walked in different directions.
From beginning to end, Theo never asked why Vader became what he was now, let alone why he bought so many old wands.
Vader had a secret, of course he knew it.
But Vader only discovered his identity because he wanted to save them, and he knew this.
Think about the consequences of the two brothers being captured by werewolves...
Even if the werewolf didn't kill them, but waited until the night of the full moon to transform his brother into a werewolf... thinking that that almost happened, Theo wanted to kill his stupid, gullible self.
Vader saved them.
Theo thought silently in his heart, his eyes gradually became clear and firm, and he even felt a little excited.
So what if Vader might be doing something the law doesn't allow?
The Ministry of Magic's laws are not perfect, and enforcement is arbitrary, which everyone knows.
And his friend...
Even if he hides his true face, he is still upright, strong and reliable.
He is lucky to be able to walk with him.
...
The summer vacation ended quickly.
The day before the end of the vacation, Wade repaired the lizard skin bag.
For this reason, he stayed in the Leaky Cauldron for two days, because the use of magic there would not be detected.
Through the Friends' Book, he also knew that Lupin actually bought a new house in Hogsmeade Village.
[Lupin: So when you are in the third year, you and Harry can come to my house to play. Although it is not big, I promise it will be fun. ]
[Lupin: And... This is the first time I have my own home to entertain guests. Thank you for not turning me away just because I am a werewolf, Wade. ]
He wrote this in the Friends' Book.
After his identity was exposed, Lupin seemed much calmer and no longer avoided talking about his previous experiences.
He always talked about those painful pasts in a relaxed tone.
[Lupin: After leaving Dumbledore's protection, it was hard for me to find a job. Once people knew I was a werewolf, they didn't even want to talk to me.]
[Vade: Why don't you find a job in Muggle society? With your magical abilities, it shouldn't be hard for you to survive.]
