Chapter 84 [Danger] and [Danger]

"Professor?" Wade was a little surprised.

"Some people's dangers cannot be seen on the surface." Professor Murray crossed his fingers, looked at Wade and asked: "How much do you know about curses and contracts?"

Wade thought for a while: "I have seen the Unbreakable Curse and the Fidelius Curse in the book. I have also studied the magic contract you made for me and Mr. Marchionne last time, but I have not systematically studied this aspect yet."

He has only been learning magic for a short time, and he has too many things to learn. Knowing that the future will be more chaotic and dangerous every year, Wade's focus has always been on improving his survival rate.

He no longer pins his hopes for safety on anyone, but only hopes that he can have the ability to deal with any crisis.

Professor Murray nodded, and was not disappointed.

-Or rather, when he found that Wade still didn't understand something, it gave him a sense of accomplishment as a professor.

Professor Murray said: "The Unbreakable Curse is an extremely powerful oath. Anyone who breaks the oath will die, so it is only used in extreme cases. It is like a blood oath, which is a oath that ordinary people would not make even if they are willing to keep their promises. Let's not talk about this for now."

——Blood oath?

Wade's heart moved slightly.

"The Fidelius Charm is extremely complex and powerful. It is a magical spell used to keep secrets, but choosing the secret keeper is the key - if the secret keeper betrays, the spell is useless; if the secret keeper dies, all those who know the secret will become the new secret keeper. Therefore, this spell is to place all hopes on one person -"

Professor Murray paused and said: "Harry Potter's parents died because of the wrong secret keeper."

Wade knew about this, but he still asked: "That person is -"

"Sirius Black."

Professor Murray slowly read out the name in a disgusted tone, and then said: "He and James Potter, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew were once best friends, but he betrayed them, causing the death of the other two, and he himself was imprisoned in Azkaban. The only one still active outside is Remus Lupin, but I haven't heard of him for many years..."

Wade nodded slowly: "Are you worried that he is a hidden dark wizard and will be harmful to me?"

"Not only that, he is also..."

- Werewolf

Professor Murray hesitated for a moment and swallowed the word again.

It is normal for a few students to be Death Eaters. After all, almost all wizards in the UK have studied at Hogwarts, and there are all kinds of people. But if people knew that Dumbledore recruited a werewolf into the school and lived with other children for seven years, even wizards who supported Dumbledore would probably think he was crazy.

But if Wade didn't know this, he might be in danger.

Professor Murray pondered for a moment, and said, "He is still a person who cannot be approached on a full moon night - you are a smart child, you should understand what I mean."

Ved nodded and said bluntly: "In our Defense Against the Dark Arts class two days ago, Professor Quirrell talked about the various treatments after being bitten by a werewolf, and I have also learned some of them."

"Knowing this, do you still want him to be your agent?" Professor Murray said: "You know, this means that he is always in uncontrollable danger - if you need, I can introduce you to some reliable and safe people."

Ved was really moved for a while, because he knew that since Professor Murray said so, it meant that he would use his own methods to confirm that the person introduced was reliable.

But after hesitating for a moment, Wade still said: "I am very grateful, professor. But I have promised to give him this opportunity... This is already a promise to me... Unless his character is not good, I don't want to break the promise easily."

Professor Murray was a little worried, but not surprised.

"In that case." He raised his hand and called for a few books, saying: "Let's stop teaching alchemy today and talk about magic contracts - this is the most common way to build trust between strangers."

...

Time flows smoothly and silently like a trickle, and Saturday comes in a blink of an eye.

This week is not a weekend in Hogsmeade, and most students sleep in the dormitory. Early in the morning, Wade got dressed, wrapped a blue scarf, and went to the first floor auditorium.

It is extremely rare that Professor Murray also appeared in the teacher's seat in the auditorium to eat breakfast, which surprised Professor McGonagall. She looked at him several times before cautiously greeting him, as if to confirm whether this Professor Murray was someone else pretending to be.

"Don't be so weird, Minerva."

Professor Murray smiled and nodded at Wade, and said to Professor McGonagall: "Occasionally, I also want to feel the lively atmosphere brought by children."

Wade bowed to Professor Murray and sat at the long table. Then he saw that the plate in front of him was replaced with his favorite food, and there were a few familiar candies next to it.

He picked up the candy and tasted it first. The taste was sweet and not greasy at all. It tasted exactly the same as his mother sent.

It seems that the cooking research of house elves should be very successful.

After breakfast, Wade came to the gate of the castle first. After waiting for a while, Professor Murray also came out and said with a smile: "The dishes in the Hogwarts kitchen are getting richer and richer, and the taste is good. I haven't been here for a long time. It seems that I have missed a lot of interesting changes."

Ved also smiled and said casually: "There are always some house-elves who are not just doing their job, but studying cooking with all their heart, right?"

"Interesting idea - very interesting -" Professor Murray glanced at Vader and said: "Most people would think that a wizard gave them a better recipe, and would not think that house-elves would take the initiative to study cooking."

"Why?" Vader asked puzzledly: "They are intelligent and have rich emotions. It is normal for them to have some personal hobbies and work hard for them and make breakthroughs?"

Professor Murray was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Ved, Vader... Although you know a lot, you grew up in the Muggle world after all... There are some things that are common sense to others, but you know nothing about them - this is normal, too normal -"

He touched Vader's head lovingly, and looked at him as if he was looking at a babbling child.

"House-elves have no self, Vader." Professor Murray smiled and said: "Or - house-elves with their own self are very dangerous to wizards... You should remember this, child."
