Chapter 83 Badge, Approval

Vader took note of McGee's warning, but it wasn't something he needed to think about just yet.

He used to practice potions in the potions classroom when he was free, and he was probably seen a few times by Slytherin students. But they didn't know that since discovering the Room of Requirement, Vader has rarely gone there.

As for who those people are, Wade naturally knows it well.

He decided to leave them alone for a few days, but not for too long - if it was too long, the Slytherins might choose to give up.

After class on Thursday, Wade went to the Astronomy Tower to find Professor Murray as usual, and unexpectedly met several seventh-grade students on the way. They were much taller, but each of them looked downcast, making them look a little shorter for no reason.

A girl was saying to the person next to her: "I'm going to kill Jennifer! She told me before that the alchemy course was very interesting, and Professor Murray's requirements are not too demanding - isn't that high?"

"Professor Murray used to be really easy to talk to! Remember? When we were in sixth grade." Another student sighed and said, "It's just that this year the professor accepted a new student, and suddenly he didn't like us - he used to Still like me very much.”

The girl in front said angrily: "Teach yourself runes in the first grade? That's crazy! If we weren't both in school, I would have thought it was a lie!"

Some students lamented: "Oh...why doesn't he spend more time on Quidditch?"

"Have any of you studied the Book of Friends?" a boy suddenly asked.

"I tried."

"It's hard."

"There's no way to crack it."

"It's easy to use a transformation spell to generate heat or display characters, but on a fragile material like parchment, it's a bit..."

Halfway through the boy's eloquent words, someone suddenly poked his arm, and his voice stopped abruptly.

At the corner of the corridor, several people suddenly met Wade.

Both sides looked at each other. Seeing Wade Gray who was still like a child, and thinking about what they just said, everyone felt extremely embarrassed. After a moment of silence, they nodded stiffly and passed by.

After walking a long distance, the voice sounded again.

"——That's Vader Gray?"

"yes."

"——Looks... quite good-looking."

"Um."

"...He probably didn't hear it, right?"

"—heard, I guess."

"Ahhhh...why did you say it! Can't you lie to me?"

"Stop shaking...I also want to die now...I really do."

…

"Huh?" Professor Murray looked at Wade and asked doubtfully, "Are you... a little different today?"

Wade smiled and asked: "Professor, what do you think is different about me?"

"It seems that there has indeed been a change... Hmm..." Professor Murray touched his chin and looked at Vader carefully. After a long while, he said uncertainly: "It seems that... he has become more beautiful than before? But it's not a beauty potion. Effect……"

Vader smiled and took off a badge from his chest.

Suddenly, the visual sense of fair and flawless skin that seemed to have a faint luster disappeared. Even though the facial features were still exquisite and the appearance was handsome, it was no longer as shining as before, making people involuntarily focus their attention on him.

"oh?"

Professor Murray took the badge in his hand for inspection with great interest - it was the work that Vader showed to the professor. Naturally, there was no anti-detection spell on it.

"Glowing spell...reflection spell...and solidification..." Professor Murray looked at Vader with a smile in his eyes: "You used light?"

"Yes." Wade said, "As you know, I have been taking pictures a lot recently. During this process, I discovered that the core of photography lies in the use of light - proper use of light can cover facial flaws, make you look slimmer, and highlight facial contours. The three-dimensional effect makes people look better, so we made this soft light badge, which can reflect just the right amount of light on the wearer, making it look more... dazzling.”

In short, it’s the wizard’s version of beauty filters.

"You always have fantastic ideas that amaze me." Professor Murray praised: "Many people have to drink a beautiful potion to achieve the effect that lasts for twenty minutes, but you can achieve it with a small badge - —How long is the shelf life of this thing?”

"About ten days," Wade said.

"That's not bad." Professor Murray didn't take such a little thing too seriously and said casually: "Some young silly girls will like it - you are planning to still let Marchionne's magic workshop produce and sell it. ?"

"Yes." Wade took out the application to go to Hogsmeade Village from his pocket and said frankly: "Actually, when I came today, I wanted to ask the professor for permission to go to Hogsmeade on Saturday. About the Book of Friends I need to meet with Mr. Marchionne to discuss the modifications and the production of soft light badges.”

"Just for this?" Professor Murray was a little unconvinced.

During this time, he also got to know Vader very well - with Vader's character, these problems that could be solved by exchanging letters would never come to him specifically to apply for his permission.

"Uh... Actually, I still want to meet someone." Vader was a little embarrassed: "You know I'm in school, so many things are inconvenient. My father is not suitable for frequently dealing with wizards. I'm worried that he will encounter someone because of this. Dangerous. So I found an agent—I plan to meet with him this Saturday.”

"Agent?" Professor Murray shook his head in disapproval: "An unreliable agent is more dangerous than no agent. Who are you looking for? Did you know him before? Or is he related to your parents?"

"I don't know him." Wade said "honestly": "I asked my father to post an advertisement in the newspaper, and he wrote a job application letter. After meeting, my father thought he was a gentle and reliable person, so he chose him as an agent-his name is Remus Lupin."

Wade knew that he didn't need to explain to his parents why he trusted a stranger-without any excuses, they would choose to believe him, and they have been like this since childhood. But for Professor Murray, Dumbledore, and other people in the wizarding world, he should have a suitable reason to explain this matter.

So Wade slightly reversed the cause and effect-it was not that he issued a recruitment for someone, but that someone saw the advertisement and applied for a job, so he was hired.

"Remus Lupin?" Professor Murray frowned slightly, his expression seemed a little melancholy, and with some memories.

"Do you know him?" Wade asked curiously

"Well." Professor Murray lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "He and his three friends were once the celebrities of Hogwarts. They made a lot of big news in school. Few people didn't know them. What a pity..."

"-What a pity?"

"Some people died, some became traitors, that's all-there were many such things in the war years, there's nothing to say." Professor Murray changed the subject: "You said you made an appointment to meet him on Saturday?"

"Yes."

"I can approve it." Professor Murray crossed his fingers and said seriously: "But I have to be there too."
