Chapter 1898: Chapter 1041: Stacking Troubles

“Well… let’s hold off for now. The textbooks I’ve studied before say not to trust any magic items with a mind of their own.”

Tao Yu hadn’t 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.

“Alright, I’ll earn your trust.”

Voldemort, upon hearing Tao Yu’s words, temporarily calmed down.

Rushing won’t cook the tofu; this little wizard has a high aptitude, so his caution is understandable.

Voldemort’s soul within the Horcrux hadn’t 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 soul’s presence nearby.

This was something that intrigued him.

Leaving Voldemort’s feelings aside, Harry, on the other hand, even with Tao Yu’s Transformation Spell as a disguise, had recently been feeling a slight pain in his scar now and then.

However, Harry still didn’t know that his scar could sense Voldemort.

And because Tao Yu had used spells to mask it, Harry’s pain wasn’t severe; he thought it was due to being overworked from detention that month and didn’t 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 couldn’t help but cheer at the sight of the feast.

“Oh, I didn’t expect such perks; how did we get through last month?”

“Yeah, if we could have a good meal after detention, it wouldn’t be so exhausting.”

Hearing their words, Tao Yu was a bit exasperated, knocking on the table, he said,

“Detention is punishment. It’s already good that you can get some guidance and tips from helping the professors; how can you treat this as enjoyment?”

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 Harry’s mischief had significantly reduced.

Under Tao Yu’s influence, Harry had developed a greater interest in magic. With Tao Yu’s intervention during his first meeting with Snape, things weren’t as preconceived, and Snape also had a change of heart toward Harry’s eyes and his recent behavior.

Things were moving in a positive direction, and Tao Yu didn’t want these two to slip back into their lazy original state again.

“Alright, alright, we haven’t been late anymore.”

“We won’t be in the future either.”

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,

“There’s been a breakout from Azkaban. It’s the first time in Azkaban’s history.”

“What? Someone escaped?”

Ron, who knew about Azkaban, swallowed his food and exclaimed somewhat indistinctly.

“Azkaban? Is that the prison with the Dementors?”

Harry curiously asked.

After his experience on the train, he had specifically learned about the Dementors and knew about them as prison guards.

“Yes, that’s the prison. Who’s the escaped prisoner?”

“A guy named Little Sirius. According to the report, he’s Voldemort’s most loyal follower, ruthless and bloodthirsty.”

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.

“The report says he might be the second in command of the Death Eaters, just under Voldemort. Previously, he even infiltrated Voldemort’s opponents and helped reveal secrets, earning great merit. His sister is also a Death Eater; the whole family are Death Eaters.”

Harry also sighed.

The newspaper didn’t mention Little Sirius selling out Harry’s parents, and Ron hadn’t heard about this either.

Yet, Scabbers, Ron’s teacher in eating snacks together, seemed to be paralyzed with fright, letting out a sharp squeak.
