Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Chapter 344

More than half an hour had passed since the curfew. In the right-hand corner of the kitchen corridor, a brown head poked out from among a pile of barrels, and immediately retracted when it heard any movement.

Soon, one head turned into two heads, like two mushrooms growing out of the ground.

“It’s been a long time,” Ryan said.

“Yeah,” Theo said sadly.

“Vade may have gone back to the lounge.” Ryan said, “You know he can turn into an eagle and fly away from any window. He doesn’t have to take this path.”

“I know. But I sent him a message and he hasn’t responded yet,” Theo said.

“Maybe he just didn’t read the friends account. As long as that guy starts researching, he won’t open it to read the news for most of the day.” Ryan added.

“It’s very late, you go and have a rest, Ryan. I’ll just wait.” Theo started to chase people away.

Ryan snorted, didn’t speak, and didn’t leave.

Theo hung on the barrel next to him, supported his chin with his hands, couldn’t help but yawned, and then said, “Do you think we should go find Professor Sprout? Or Professor McGonagall?”

Ryan hung on the other side and said speechlessly: “Do you think Professor Snape is some kid-eating Chibukru monster? Even if Vader accidentally angered the professor, he wouldn’t be stuffed into a crucible and cooked. ”

“I know, but…sigh…”

Theo sighed worriedly.

Professor Snape didn’t target anyone in Hufflepuff in particular, he just criticized the guys who made mistakes equally. In Potions class, Theo was always in the same group as Wade and rarely got scolded.

But as long as that professor kept a straight face, it was enough to scare everyone in the Badger Academy.

“Professor Sprout is better, just like mom.”

Theo thought of his dean and felt very lucky.

Ryan nodded in agreement.

At this moment, he heard soft footsteps coming from the corridor. He pulled Theo down and said in a low voice: “Someone is coming!!”

Although Theo heard nothing, he trusted his partner’s hearing and immediately hid with breathless concentration.

Ryan listened carefully again, and a smile appeared on his face: “It’s not Filch – it’s Vader!”

So the two mushrooms popped up together again.

After waiting for a moment, Vader’s figure appeared from the end of the corridor. He frowned slightly and looked down at the ground in front of him, his expression extremely serious.

Theo stretched out his arm, waved, and whispered, “Vade!”

Wade raised his head and was a little surprised when he saw the two of them: “What are you doing?”

“Waiting for you!” Ryan said briefly.

“Come in quickly!” Theo waved his arms anxiously: “Filch will be here soon!”

Although Wade was not worried about this, he still followed his intention and walked over quickly.

In the center of a pile of large wooden barrels, there is a not-so-wide, slightly sloping circular entrance, where Ryan and Theo are squeezed.

At this time, Ryan had disappeared from the entrance. Theo waved to Vader and climbed back in.

Wade: “…”

He looked at the entrance and followed it, as if drilling into a cement pipe placed at a construction site when he was a child.

It’s just that the surrounding “pipes” are made of wood, exuding a faint aroma of wine and a sweet fragrance like butter, and the bottom and sides have been rubbed until they are shiny.

After crawling for a short distance, the circular basement suddenly opened up. Compared with the Ravenclaw common room, it looked much lower, making people think of a badger lying on the ground.

The entire room was illuminated by orange light, the fire was burning brightly in the fireplace, and the sofas and armchairs around were wrapped in yellow and black velvet. The whole room looked warm and cozy.

Under the ceiling, on the surrounding shelves, and on the windowsills, there are all magical plants. Some are emitting a faint light, some are swaying slightly, and some are blooming and appear full of vitality.

The room is filled with the fragrant scents of plants and flowers, and you can spot insects not found in other lounges, such as fireflies and butterflies.

Above the honey-yellow mantelpiece carved with a badger, hangs a portrait of Helga Hufflepuff, the founder of the college. She looks a bit like Professor Sprout, with a warm and joyful smile on her round face. It makes everyone who sees it feel better involuntarily.

Unfortunately, it was already night, and it was pitch black outside the window, so I couldn’t see the scenery of the sunlight shining in through those round windows.

Except for the three of them, there was no one else in the lounge. Wade couldn’t help but ask, “Where are the other people in the academy?”

Theo said matter-of-factly: “Go to bed, it’s already so late.”

Wade: “…” It seems that this is indeed the case.

But if it’s the Ravenclaw lounge, there are probably people reading or doing homework in the corner;

Needless to say, Gryffindor, the Weasley twins probably haven’t come back yet.

Vader, a Slytherin student, didn’t know much about it, but he felt that not all the students in the Snake House had a regular schedule, going to bed early and getting up early.

The two Hufflepuffs, who had usually fallen asleep long ago, resisted their drowsiness and pulled Wade to sit down on the sofa in front of the fireplace. Theo couldn’t wait to ask:

“Vade, did you go to see Professor Snape? He didn’t make things difficult for you, right?”

Wade asked strangely: “How do you know?”

Ryan said: “We accidentally saw Malfoy when we came back. He reported to Filch that some students did not sleep at night and wandered around in the underground corridor near the Potions classroom – we guessed it might be you.”

Professor Snape’s office is near the Potions classroom, so the two of them also guessed Wade’s purpose.

“You went to Professor Snape for Neville’s matter?” Theo said worriedly, “What if he also starts to target you?”

“Of course I won’t be stupid enough to rush directly to the professor and accuse him of his behavior. I just want to let him know that Neville can also feel pain, and he is not a stone that has no feeling for insults and accusations.”

Wade said: “Don’t worry, Professor Snape is not angry with me. It’s just that I don’t know whether the result of the communication can meet expectations.”

“That’s good.”

Theo breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately realized something, and hurriedly explained: “It’s not that I don’t care about Neville, I just…”

“I know.” Wade’s eyes were full of understanding, and he smiled and said: “Thank you, Theo. And Ryan, I made you worry about me.”

Rian shook his head: “When Neville cried, I was also very uncomfortable, but I didn’t know what I could do to help him. I…”

He lowered his head in shame, and his voice seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: “I’m sorry… I don’t have the courage to resist Professor Snape…”
