Chapter 362 Past Events
Wade glanced at the bread in his hand and asked, "Can you eat these?"
The students around them thought they were talking about the difference between the food of the two countries, but Khalil understood immediately - Vader knew that he was a vampire now.
He said in surprise: "I heard that you are highly valued by the principal. It turns out to be true!"
Then he shook the bread in his hand and said, "Don't worry. Although this kind of food is not quite to my taste, it can barely fill my stomach. Dumbledore also said that the kitchen will prepare a special meal for me."
"Why?" Michael said angrily, almost shouting out.
Vader and Khalil glanced at him in unison, then looked away.
"Where's the accommodation?" Wade asked.
"I don't know about that...How many people live in your dormitory? Can I be included?" Khalil asked.
"Impossible." Michael said, "You are a Gryffindor, you have to live in Gryffindor Tower."
Khalil looked at him and pretended to stand up: "Then I'll ask the principal if he can make an exception for me."
"Impossible." Wade also said: "According to school regulations, you do have to live in Gryffindor Tower."
"Okay." Khalil sat down again and said with a smile, "I hope there won't be too many people... it would make me uncomfortable if it's too crowded."
Although vampires can suck the blood of animals or blood stored in the hospital's refrigerator, what they desire most is always fresh, warm human blood.
Wade felt that there was probably no professor in the world more tolerant than Dumbledore. First he put a werewolf in the school, and now he put a vampire in.
He said, "The two boys' dormitories are just filled up with third-year Gryffindors. The school should be able to arrange a single room for you."
"That's fine... By the way, I have Muggle Studies, Transfiguration, and Potions classes tomorrow. How are the professors for these classes? Are they easy to get along with..."
The two of them chatted casually about studying at Hogwarts and looked no different from ordinary friends.
The people around were shocked by Khalil's behavior at first, but when they saw that he and Wade were old acquaintances, they felt that they could understand it and gradually stopped paying attention.
Only Michael frowned slightly.
No one noticed that after Caryl sat down, Luna Lovegood, who was sitting diagonally across the long table, suddenly stood up with her plate in her hand, and like a little shadow, silently walked from behind the crowd to the place farthest from Caryl.
Unlike the opening dinner, after dinner, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall did not speak again, and the students dispersed in twos and threes.
"Caryl Johnson." Percy came over again and said, "Come with me. I'll take you to the dormitory."
"Does it have to be now?" Khalil asked back, "It seems like there's still a few hours left before the curfew?"
"Ah?" Percy was stunned. Apart from his two younger brothers, he had never met a junior student who contradicted him to his face.
This year he is the Head Boy of Hogwarts. He often has to manage the school's students on behalf of the professors, and he has never encountered any students who challenge his authority.
——Of course, the Weasley twins still have to be ruled out.
Before Percy could lose his temper, he heard Khalil say, "I'm sorry, I transferred here from the United States and I'm not very familiar with the rules of this school."
His words extinguished Percy's rage which had not yet started.
"—Can I come back to see you at eleven? I heard that Gryffindor has a common room... Before that, I want to catch up with my long-lost friends."
Carlile glanced at the badge on Percy's chest and said, "I hope my humble request will be granted by you, Mr. Chairman."
Percy's eyebrows twitched slightly, he straightened his chest and said tolerantly: "Okay... eleven o'clock, don't be late."
Percy left and Khalil turned his head, winked, and smirked, "Done!"
……
When they finished dinner, it was still light. Caril wanted to visit the school. Wade had planned to take him to familiarize himself with the route to tomorrow's class, but Caril suggested to see the outside of the castle first.
"You can see the classroom at any time, but it will be dark soon," said Khalil.
Wade couldn't understand: "Can't we see the lawn outside at any time?"
Despite saying this, Khalil insisted and stood up from his seat.
The sun was already setting over the top of a distant mountain, and the entire Forbidden Forest was shrouded in deep shadows. The maze also looked even bigger, with a long queue at the entrance.
Wade suddenly remembered that he hadn't been to the maze for a long time.
"Weid, have you been assigned a task by your principal? For example, you have to take care of me as a freshman or something like that."
Khalil suddenly said, "I always feel like you don't seem to be happy to deal with me."
Wade thought he was careless and wouldn't notice it, so he paused before saying, "As long as you don't suddenly go crazy and want to jump off the tower, I think everything else is fine."
Hearing this, Khalil was startled, then suddenly burst into laughter, almost crying. He laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, so he just sat on the grass.
"Hahahaha... So this is how you've always looked at me... Hahahahahaha..."
Wade stood by and waited patiently for him to finish laughing, then asked, "Is it funny? You are thirteen years old now, you should know that jumping from a tower over twenty meters high can kill you."
He couldn't understand: "You're dragging me to my death, and you think it's funny?"
Khalil wiped his tears, looked up and said, "Ordinary people may die...but we are wizards!"
Wade was stunned and frowned without saying anything.
Khalil wiped his face and said, "It's my fault... Maybe the pain from breaking my leg was so severe that I forgot to explain it to you."
"When I was seven years old... I was almost hit by a car on the road. When I came to my senses, I was already on top of the church."
"Of course, I didn't know what magic was at the time - I thought I had super powers, that I could fly - and I wanted to show you."
"When I came to find you, do you know what I saw? You were reading a book and wanted to grab the cup of water next to you... The cup was at least a foot away from you, but as soon as you stretched out your hand, it slipped away by itself..."
Wade tried hard to recall, but he couldn't remember such a thing.
He only remembered that before receiving the admission letter from Hogwarts, he had never shown any special abilities and didn't even know the existence of magic.
Khalil seemed to know what he was thinking and smiled: "You don't know, right? Because you did it unconsciously."
"When I saw that scene, I thought you and I both had super powers. But when I told you about it, you thought I had read too many superhero comics and told me that there were no super powers in the real world..."
"I wanted to prove it to you, but I just couldn't show my ability... Then I thought, maybe superpowers only appear when life is in danger..."
This is the experience he gained from superhero comics.
Khalil is a typical man of action. Once he thinks of something, he does it immediately.
"So you asked me to jump off the lighthouse? To unleash our abilities?" Wade said coldly, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if we died from the fall?"
"I thought about it! I put a lot of straw..."
Khalil sighed and said, "After you left, I had planned to fly down first. When you got to the bottom of the tower, you would see me standing there handsomely, and then believe what I said."
"But in the end I broke my leg...hahahaha, I am such a failure..."
Make an update.
