Chapter 1898: Chapter 1041: Stacking Troubles
âWell⊠letâs hold off for now. The textbooks Iâve studied before say not to trust any magic items with a mind of their own.â
Tao Yu hadnât squeezed Voldemort dry yet, and he was reluctant to waste him just like that.
If Voldemort got reckless and tried to take over his body, it would lead to a loss of information, and that would be a real setback.
âAlright, Iâll earn your trust.â
Voldemort, upon hearing Tao Yuâs words, temporarily calmed down.
Rushing wonât cook the tofu; this little wizard has a high aptitude, so his caution is understandable.
Voldemortâs soul within the Horcrux hadnât expected to be defeated by a mere baby at the height of his power!
Even now, as just a fragment in a Horcrux, he still felt a sense of humiliation.
However, as a Horcrux, he could faintly sense parts of his soulâs presence nearby.
This was something that intrigued him.
Leaving Voldemortâs feelings aside, Harry, on the other hand, even with Tao Yuâs Transformation Spell as a disguise, had recently been feeling a slight pain in his scar now and then.
However, Harry still didnât know that his scar could sense Voldemort.
And because Tao Yu had used spells to mask it, Harryâs pain wasnât severe; he thought it was due to being overworked from detention that month and didnât pay much attention to it.
The house-elves at Hogwarts delivered the food they prepared straight to the Gryffindor Dormitory. The elves who could use Disillusionment at Hogwarts were indeed experts at delivering things.
The few who had just finished detention couldnât help but cheer at the sight of the feast.
âOh, I didnât expect such perks; how did we get through last month?â
âYeah, if we could have a good meal after detention, it wouldnât be so exhausting.â
Hearing their words, Tao Yu was a bit exasperated, knocking on the table, he said,
âDetention is punishment. Itâs already good that you can get some guidance and tips from helping the professors; how can you treat this as enjoyment?â
They were all eleven or twelve-year-olds, just at the age when their worldview was taking shape. Tao Yu would show his sternness when needed.
So far, Ron and Harryâs mischief had significantly reduced.
Under Tao Yuâs influence, Harry had developed a greater interest in magic. With Tao Yuâs intervention during his first meeting with Snape, things werenât as preconceived, and Snape also had a change of heart toward Harryâs eyes and his recent behavior.
Things were moving in a positive direction, and Tao Yu didnât want these two to slip back into their lazy original state again.
âAlright, alright, we havenât been late anymore.â
âWe wonât be in the future either.â
Acquiring new knowledge brings a sense of accomplishment; solving problems one after another boosts learning motivation.
Both Ron and Harry were somewhat feeling this now.
Neville, while having some memory issues due to past influences, was also trying his best to keep up recently.
While they were enjoying their food and chatting, the Prophet Daily Tao Yu had ordered was delivered by an owl, dropping the newspaper on a nearby table.
In the ordinary world, you might have smartphones and media, but in the Magic World, you really had to rely on the Prophet Daily.
However, Tao Yu, having integrated so much knowledge recently, was planning to create a magical smartphone for the Magic World. Otherwise, having to rely on the Prophet Daily every time he wanted updates was truly a hassle.
When he picked up the newspaper and saw the front-page headline, he raised an eyebrow,
âThereâs been a breakout from Azkaban. Itâs the first time in Azkabanâs history.â
âWhat? Someone escaped?â
Ron, who knew about Azkaban, swallowed his food and exclaimed somewhat indistinctly.
âAzkaban? Is that the prison with the Dementors?â
Harry curiously asked.
After his experience on the train, he had specifically learned about the Dementors and knew about them as prison guards.
âYes, thatâs the prison. Whoâs the escaped prisoner?â
âA guy named Little Sirius. According to the report, heâs Voldemortâs most loyal follower, ruthless and bloodthirsty.â
Tao Yu briefly explained as per the newspaper content.
At the mention of Voldemort, Ron noticeably shrunk his neck, and Harry showed some interest, taking the newspaper to see the gaunt photo of Little Sirius.
The person in the photo had a wicked expression, saying something loudly, with evil written all over his face.
âThe report says he might be the second in command of the Death Eaters, just under Voldemort. Previously, he even infiltrated Voldemortâs opponents and helped reveal secrets, earning great merit. His sister is also a Death Eater; the whole family are Death Eaters.â
Harry also sighed.
The newspaper didnât mention Little Sirius selling out Harryâs parents, and Ron hadnât heard about this either.
Yet, Scabbers, Ronâs teacher in eating snacks together, seemed to be paralyzed with fright, letting out a sharp squeak.
