Chapter 339: Isn’t it basic to memorize the entire book?
"I'm so stupid! I don't deserve to take this course!"
Lisa covered her face and cried, "I know that ancient magic runes are difficult, but I didn't know it was this difficult... I thought I just needed to memorize it more..."
Padma, who was beside her, wanted to comfort her, but at this moment, she herself looked pale.
Due to Vader's success, and most importantly, his success seemed so easy, most of the students in Ravenclaw hoped to become alchemists, so they chose to take Ancient Runes.
They hope to successfully obtain an OWL certificate in this course so that they can choose to practice Alchemy in the sixth grade.
In every previous class, it was basically only Ravenclaw students who could enter Alchemy, and only one or two students from other colleges appeared occasionally.
However, after actually coming into contact with it, the complexity, tediousness and profundity of ancient magic words still exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Ved, how did you do it?" Lisa broke down and cried, "Why did you learn runes in the first grade? This course is so difficult!"
Everyone looked at Vader, even the Slytherins.
"You're right, actually." Weed said, "To learn runes, the first thing is to memorize them - memorize the Rune Dictionary, Magical Symbols, and Magical Pronunciation Table. Be familiar with every symbol and all common phrases. Then it will be much easier to learn this course."
"Isn't your statement the same as - if I memorize all the magic books, I can become a great magician?"
Lisa wiped her tears and complained.
"Is this how you learned ancient magic runes before?" Stephen said dissatisfiedly, "There must be some trick, right?"
"Indeed I am!" said Vader.
Stephen's face froze, and then was filled with disbelief.
“He literally memorized all of those books in first grade — in less than two months.”
Hermione frowned and refuted everyone's doubts, testifying for Wade.
Some students looked at Padma, and even though Padma and Vader were not very familiar with each other at that time, she immediately nodded affirmatively.
——She hadn't seen it with her own eyes, but she had heard Michael complain several times about Vader's history of being a bad person.
Then Wade said, "Why else would Professor Murray accept me as a student - just based on sincerity and love?"
The whole classroom was silent for a moment.
"It's time to go, Wade." Hermione checked the time and said anxiously, "I have a Potions class soon."
She forgot that the people in Potions class were actually Slytherins - for example, Draco Malfoy, who was sitting there without saying a word - not Ravenclaws.
"Yeah." Wade stood up with his schoolbag in hand: "I want to go to the library too."
"Oh, we're not together."
Hermione suddenly realized something and rushed out of the classroom with the book in her arms.
This place is extremely far from the Potions classroom, and Professor Snape's attitude towards Gryffindor is well known to be bad.
Although Professor Snape usually didn't target Hermione, she absolutely dared not be late.
Wade helplessly looked at Hermione's running back, knowing that she was used to this way of rushing, and it might be difficult for her to change her mindset for the time being.
And in girls' minds, aging earlier than their peers is probably much more terrible than being late.
Several Slytherins in the classroom also went out, but they seemed more calm - Professor Snape has always been much more tolerant towards Slytherin students.
Padma finally cheered up and comforted her deskmate: "It's okay, Lisa. You have such a good memory. As long as you spend more time, you will definitely be able to memorize it."
Lisa's tears fell again - just thinking about the thickness of a few books, she began to feel desperate. Wade ignored his fragile classmates, he went out and turned two corners, and when there was no one around, he turned the time converter back.
……
"What's up with this door?"
"Do you want to solve a puzzle? Like the door knocker in our lounge?"
"But there are ancient magic words on it..."
After the "ticking" sound disappeared, Vader heard Padma gathering outside the Ancient Magic Rune classroom, discussing the issue of the locked door.
I guess it’s not far away. I was walking towards this side with Hermione an hour ago, right?
Without hesitation, Vader transformed into a peregrine falcon, avoiding places where his past self might see him, and flew to the eighth floor of the main building with a single flap of his wings.
He entered the Room of Requirement and spent a few minutes finishing his homework for the Ancient Magic Runes class. Then he rested for half an hour before casting an Invisibility Charm and heading to the foyer.
"...Of course, if you can get a manticore, he'd be willing to be your half-brother."
The old him walked into the hallway, chatting and laughing with Michael.
Wei De knew how sharp he was, so he didn't get close. Instead, he followed like an ordinary student, not too far away.
It was not until the past Vader used the converter and disappeared from the spot that he lifted the Disillusionment Spell and walked over quickly.
"The Manticore is out of the question... but I'm going to borrow a couple of books about Hippogriffs. There must be someone writing about them—they're so beautiful! And so smart and human!"
Michael exclaimed: "I wish I could have one."
"You know what?" Vader replied, "Traveling on a Hippogriff is a violation of the Statute of Secrecy."
Michael frowned, then had another idea:
"I can cast a Disillusionment Charm on it, and myself of course - it won't be illegal if I'm not spotted!"
"Wake up, you are not a hippogriff."
"What if I get pregnant in the future? I have to be prepared..."
……
The evening light enveloped the small village of Hogsmeade, with only the noisy sounds coming from the tavern.
Suddenly, the door of the Three Broomsticks was pushed open, and a very tall figure walked in with his head lowered.
"Good evening, Hagrid!" said Madam Rosmerta, who was in the tavern, with a smile. "What would you like to drink?"
"Four pints of mead," said Hagrid. "Remember to add plenty of honey."
As he spoke, he looked around and found the gray-robed wizard sitting behind the decorative vines.
"It's been a while, Remus. What have you been up to?"
Hagrid walked over and sat down, and the chair groaned.
"Accompanying Sirius to track down Peter, and also investigating some things."
Lupin said briefly, frowning and looking unhappy: "I want to ask you something, Hagrid, about Hogwarts."
"What do you want to ask..." Hagrid was halfway through his words when he suddenly remembered something and looked more apologetic. "By the way, I want to apologize to you about Harry. Although little Malfoy is indeed a bastard, most of this matter is my responsibility..."
"Oh... huh? What?" Lupin was startled: "What happened to Harry?"
