From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Good morning, Adams. I'm going to Gringotts today. Do you want to come with me?"

"No, I have other things to do."

"Dating? You shouldn't. You stay in school all day long, and I haven't even seen an owl looking for you - could it be that you have attacked a student? This is a taboo! Aren't you afraid that Professor McGonagall will kill you?"

Although the recognized number one in the castle is Dumbledore, both professors and students know one thing very well. In this castle, the one who walks the talk is called Minerva.

"Shut up - William."

Adams poked the fried eggs on the plate angrily, with a look of displeasure on his face.

"A whole set of reports - why is it so much harder to cancel a deduction than to deduct it? Can't the school improve the magic hourglass that adds points?"

‘Is it difficult to report and revoke cheating in the examination room? Besides, those things are all antique-level things left over from the time when the school was founded. Since there have been no problems, who dares to take them apart and repair them? What if they can’t be repaired? ’

But this kind of complaint is obviously not suitable to be spoken out - it's like a hat that hasn't been washed in almost a thousand years. Who knows whether this system will become sophisticated after a thousand years. What should I do if it holds a grudge?

If Hogwarts's scoring system no longer responds to a professor's bonus points and deductions but remains the same for others, most people will probably think that the school should fire the professor instead of replacing a magic hourglass. ——This kind of thing has never happened in the school’s history of nearly a thousand years. If a thousand years of history comes over, who will have food and shelter?

"Calm down, Adams, after all, you made a mistake too badly. You should have canceled it when you sent the person to register, but you forgot. It's been so long, and it's not too much to write a report."

William patted him on the shoulder and gave him one last look of sympathy.

——

"Mr. William, this is your treasury."

The goblin of Gringotts was very polite - but William no longer had the energy to say thank you to him.

If the goblin named Key is willing to let William assume that its gender is male, then William can give full marks to this gentleman's service attitude - but he can hardly suppress the urge to vomit now.

‘Is the transportation system of this underground vault based on a roller coaster? Even Need for Speed ​​wouldn’t dare to drive like this! ’

After finally regaining some strength, William quickly took out a mint candy from his pocket and held it in his mouth, trying to suppress the nausea.

When he used Floo powder to arrive at Diagon Alley half an hour ago, he complained that the comfort of Floo powder was completely worthy of its low price - but he didn't understand until he came to Gringotts' underground vault. , it turns out that even if you put down all your wealth, you will still get motion sickness in the magical world.

"Are you okay? If possible, can I open the door to the vault for you now?"

"Okay, thank you."

William responded to him with difficulty - when he thought about having to take the same means of transportation to go back, he didn't dare to let himself relax anymore. He was afraid that he would lose the courage to go back.

The key opened the door lock without any awkwardness, and then William saw for the first time his property that truly belonged to him.

‘Nat, Nat, Nat. ’

But even the golden pile of money is not that high. Although the original owner worked very hard to make his treasury not look like a one-dollar passbook, but now it seems that this place is indeed barren.

'It's not even enough for me to bring out in Azkaban. '

William assessed the weight of these kats and regained a profound understanding of his own poverty.

Fortunately, there are other things - a dozen experimental records and seven or eight magic books, as well as well-wrapped potion vessels that cannot be seen as good or bad now - if William remembers correctly, this set contains The vessel for the crucible is custom-made.

Anyway, now William was carrying a bag that had been casted with a traceless expansion spell, and he simply stuffed all these things into it.

"Okay, that's all, go back now."

William suppressed his fear and said these rather risky words, and the goblin named Key had no intention of staying any longer, and directly drove William upwards in the cart.

Maybe it was because the road back was facing upwards, which made William feel less motion sick, and he began to have enough energy to pay attention to the goblin driving.

"Everyone who comes to Gringotts has to ride this system?"

"Of course, this is the most complete security system -" Key said proudly, "The vaults of the oldest families are at the bottom. No one can break through Gringotts' defense line! Just use this system It takes a long time to walk, and it can’t be compared to the short journey of less than ten minutes to the most superficial treasury.”

"Of course, it's just as safe up there."

It added as if it had discovered something.

'Sure enough, poor people are looked down upon - I'm really sorry that the treasury is at the top! ’

William rolled his eyes angrily - it was dark all around anyway, so he didn't have to hide it so hard.

——

"William? Are you back from Gringotts? I've finished my report and I just have time. Do you want to go out for a drink?"

When William emerged from the fireplace again, Adams was the only one in the staff room - not every professor is so lucky to have to report on the weekend.

"No, I just got back from Gringotts. I have to go back and sort it out now. I'll talk about it another day."

William, who was thinking about coming back to read the test records, didn't even go to Old Tom for a drink, and directly rejected Adams' invitation.

"take something?"

Adams was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his face began to become improper.

"Well, don't be so nervous. In any case, it is a bit too much to store things in Gringotts - even Professor McGonagall has not confiscated them in the academy. At most, the prefects collect them from the children."

I feel like you swept your broomstick across my face, Adams.

"Eh? Does the school even have to take care of students' self-study of potions? Didn't the prefect confiscate the cauldron?"

William showed an expression of pure surprise.

"Crucible? You mean the crucible?"

Adams froze there.

"Yeah, that's what you said?"

William had a cute expression on his face.

"What I'm talking about is - the Wolf Fang Flying Saucer."

Adams held it in for a long time and finally said a noun, then realized something was wrong and started to take out his wand.

"Are you serious, Professor Adams? The person in front of you is the professor of the wizard self-defense magic learning class. Our class mainly teaches students how to fight."

William said seriously.

Adams put away his wand, then turned away. At the door, Adams turned back, "William?"

"ah?"

He was answered with a middle finger from Adams.
