Chapter 45: Friends' Account

Vader certainly knew the importance of "phone". But he thought that when the Muggle world already had mobile phones and the Internet, there was nothing to make a fuss about when an instant communication device appeared in the wizarding world.

Moreover, wizards already have a double-sided mirror that can be used as a "video call" tool. The advantage of parchment is that it is cheaper, and the spells are simple and easy to understand. It can be said that the prerequisites for its creation have been created by wizards hundreds of years ago. It has been in place for many years, but I don’t know why, no one seems to be thinking in this direction.

Wade kept a smile on his face, hoping that Professor Murray could understand what he meant - you can discuss the research results if you want, and share the glory with everyone. Don't fall out on impulse, let alone take action.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to fight back.

Vader didn't really believe that Hogwarts with Dumbledore was absolutely safe, and it wasn't difficult to use [Forgetfulness] and [The Imperius Curse].

But Professor Murray didn't seem to understand. He retorted without thinking: "Why doesn't it count? The American continent existed thousands of years ago, but Columbus who discovered it is also called a hero! Dumbledore discovered the dragon The twelve uses of blood, haven't people studied dragon blood before? Of course not! There is no shame in standing on the shoulders of giants - the important thing is that you are the first to invent it! Write two letters!”

Vader's racing heart slowed down.

He suddenly realized that Professor Murray had no intention of occupying his alchemy results at all. He was simply happy for Vader.

It's just that Professor Murray's expression was too extrovert and his eyes were too excited, which made Wade feel threatened.

He slowly adjusted his breathing and heartbeat, realizing that there was something wrong with his current mentality.

——Because of Quirrell and...Dumbledore, he now has extremely low trust in the school's professors, and subconsciously speculates on them with the greatest malice.

But in fact, Professor Flitwick was gentle and enthusiastic, and Professor Murray had been helping and guiding him since they met. He really shouldn't have doubts like this.

Professor Murray had no idea what was going on in Vader's mind. He wrote a few lines and suddenly asked: "By the way, Vader, what is the name of this work of yours - it should have a name, right?"

Wade said as calmly as possible: "Yes, I call it - "Book of Friends."

He wrote "Book of Friends" on the paper, but felt that it was missing a bit of charm, so he wrote "Book of Friends" in Chinese characters.

"What is this?" Professor Murray curiously poked at the three words that were as elegant as paintings.

"The Chinese characters for the Book of Friends." Wade explained and read it again in Chinese.

Professor Murray imitated it awkwardly, thought about it for a moment, and smiled: "Not bad. This can become your unique trademark."

He buried his head and continued to write: "Vide, have you applied to stay in school during the holidays?"

"No." Wade sat next to him, "My parents have been looking forward to my coming home."

"On the third day after Christmas, I will hold a small party at home. You must remember to set aside time on that day." Professor Murray said: "I can introduce to you some... um... to you Very helpful friend.”

"Of course, my pleasure, Professor."

Because of the guilt in his heart, Wade is now particularly easy to talk to.

"Also, your 'Book of Friends' is kept secret for now. Don't make it public." Professor Murray blinked and said with a smile, "I will give you a surprise during the holidays."

The remaining doubts still lingered in his heart. Wade subconsciously became vigilant and said hesitantly: "Uh... Actually, I originally planned to give it to my friends as a Christmas gift - if the response is good, Just sell it on a small scale among classmates to make some pocket money——"

"Oh - Vader - Vader -"

Professor Murray raised his eyes and looked at him, as if looking at a young child, and smiled softly: "My child, you are still young, so you don't understand. There are two kinds of alchemists in the world - one People who have learned a little alchemy and work in the Ministry of Magic or various companies are called alchemists, but they are actually just the labor force of capital; the other kind of alchemist is me——"

He tapped his finger on his chest, then pointed at Vader.

"--and you."

Vader opened his eyes slightly.

"Surprised? Do you think this statement is too early for you?" Professor Murray asked as if he could read minds.

Vader nodded: "I thought... it was just a simple little thing... I have just started in alchemy."

Professor Murray smiled and shook his head: "The person who invented the quill must have thought it was just a simple little thing, but we have been using it for more than a thousand years."

He wrote the letter, stamped it with his own seal, and let the owl send it away. Finally, he told Wade: "Small gifts between friends don't matter, but forget it about selling them yourself - your time should be spent on A more useful place than to be a hawker or craftsman.”

…

In the evening, Wade finished making all the friends' books that he planned to send out during the holidays and returned to his lounge. He lay exhausted on his bed, thinking about all the people he'd met here.

Quirrell and Voldemort wandering around the castle.

Dumbledore, who coldly puts the lives of all teachers and students on the chessboard, is also the guardian of this school.

"Don't you feel wronged?" Michael asked him.

Ryan said: "I thought these things were far away from us."

Fred said: "Dumbledore really knows everything."

Hermione said: "Dumbledore is right... the heavy reality and hatred will suffocate him."

And Harry Potter... the boy who survived...

Ved covered his eyes with his hands and looked like he was asleep.

A soft "pop" suddenly sounded in the room, as if a bubble burst.

Ved immediately opened his eyes and turned his head to see the house elf Zoe standing in the middle of the dormitory.

"You are here, Zoe." Ved smiled: "Thank you for agreeing to my request before."

Zoe whispered: "Ved Grey needs help, Zoe is of course willing to help him. But Zoe has not received the signal, so I came to see him."

"Because I was not in danger today, Professor Murray is better than I thought."

Ved took out a green "bean" from his pocket and showed it to Zoe.

This is the communicator between them, and Zoe also has one in her hand.

After completing the Book of Friends, Wade also made this small magic bean, using the association spell and the transformation spell. As long as he squeezed it hard, the bean in Zoe's hand would heat up.

Ever since the "chance encounter" with Quirrell, Wade has been thinking about how to ensure his survival. Dumbledore has his own plan, and the professors of the school will not ignore Dumbledore's orders to be his bodyguard. The only ones who can be used and are willing to help him unconditionally are the house elves of the school.

Fortunately, he has a good relationship with the house elves in charge of the Ravenclaw Tower.

This strange creature can Apparate in any corner of Hogwarts, and its magic is even stronger than some adult wizards. Although they cannot disobey the professors of the school, helping a student escape from danger does not violate their duties.

So Wade made an agreement with Zoe-as long as the magic bean in his hand heats up, Zoe will come to him immediately and take him to a safe place quickly.

Before meeting Professor Murray today, Wade brought the magic bean. He prepared for the worst, but luckily it didn't come to fruition.
