From Azkaban To Hogwarts

Sunday is a rare good day to sleep in.

Even William, who had not wasted much time since coming out of Azkaban, had the luxury of turning off the alarm clock and preparing to sleep until the sun hit the bed - due to the position of the bed, this time was usually after nine o'clock.

But William, who was sleeping soundly today, was awakened by the shouts coming from the castle. You must know that the sound insulation effect of the lounge attached to this office is not very good.

"What happened? Why is it so noisy so early in the morning?"

William yawned and got up. He didn't even bother to change out of his pajamas and directly summoned the house elf.

"Bart?"

This time the house elf did not arrive immediately. When William was curious about what he was busy doing, there was a soft noise and the house elf had already appeared in his room.

"Professor, this is your breakfast. Sorry, Peeves is causing trouble in the kitchen again, so it takes a little time to prepare."

"It's okay, it's very fast. Thank you, Bart. What happened in the castle? Why is it so noisy?"

Although he wasn't too hungry just after he woke up, William still solemnly thanked the elf - but, Peeves clocked in at work and went to the kitchen if he had anything to do?

"You mean the cries from the castle? Just a moment, Professor."

The house elf disappeared, but within five minutes, he came back with a soft sound.

"Some students were planning to cause trouble and were blocked by Mr. Filch in an empty classroom. Although they tried their best to escape, Mr. Filch took note of their faces and names and was arresting them next to the college."

"Arresting people next to the academy?"

William finally understood why Filch's reputation among the students was not high - it was surprising that such an arresting method could gain popularity among the students!

——

William thought that what happened in the morning was just a minor incident, but he had no idea that after he came back from swimming in the Black Lake for an hour after breakfast, this incident would come to him again.

As he returns to the castle, Mr. Filch suddenly appears.

"Professor William, I heard that you and Professor Binns have a big project to do. I happen to have a group of children who have made mistakes here. If there are more people than needed, how many people do you need?"

"The more the better, but don't the other professors need students in solitary confinement?"

Due to Professor Binns' unexpected work situation, William actually has a lot of work to do, but Hogwarts is not a laboratory where professors are short of labor and can confine students to do odd jobs - after all, students are students, not graduate students. , you can’t do whatever you want.

"Too many, professor, we caught too many this time - there are not enough toilets in the hospital. All the demand lists provided by the professor have been met. On your side, I have also prepared students according to your needs early. , but everyone’s work has been arranged and there are still students left, so too many students were caught this time.”

The happy expression on Mr. Filch's face gave William the illusion that his land had just harvested.

‘How many people have been arrested? There were not enough students who made mistakes in the past, and the demand has to come in turn. There are so many left today? ’

This made William couldn't help but recall the story that he ignored in the morning about Mr. Filch arresting people next to the college - 'It seems that what Bart said was not an exaggeration at all, and was even a bit understated. ’

"So many students make mistakes?"

"Yes, they gathered in an empty classroom - weekend morning, a classroom of people, I was originally staring at the Weasley brothers - you should remember them, right?"

William nodded heavily. As a professor, he probably couldn't forget the name of this student when he saw the thick stack of violation records - let alone the fact that the two of them were still in solitary confinement here.

"Well, it's those two Weasleys," Mr. Filch said happily. "I asked Mrs. Norris, my cat, to keep an eye on them to prevent those two little bastards from practicing Quidditch. I did something against the school rules before, and it turned out that those two guys started gathering the kids who made mistakes in the academy early in the morning and went to the empty classrooms."

As he spoke, he made exaggerated body movements, "The whole classroom is full of regular customers of my office. Such a group of troublemakers must be up to no good, so I asked Mrs. Loris to scare them." , but those guys had a guilty conscience and ran out directly—did they think I couldn’t remember their faces?”

The administrator looked proud—this was the first time in recent years that he had satisfied all the requests submitted by professors.

"Then what do they want to do?"

"I didn't ask this, but these brats definitely didn't want to do anything good when they got together."

Filch said affirmatively, and then the two of them saw the vice principal at the corner.

"Professor McGonagall, good morning."

"Good morning, Professor William, Mr. Filch."

Professor McGonagall's expression didn't look as happy as her words of greeting - William even had the feeling that the professor was about to get angry.

Sure enough, Professor McGonagall's next sentence was almost a question.

"Mr. Filch, why did you arrest so many Gryffindor students?"

‘Mr. Filch was arrested by the college. It would be unfair of you to say that, Professor. ’

William, who had heard this message in the morning, was a little biased in his mind towards Mr. Filch, but he quickly realized that something was wrong.

‘Which college has the most people who have left the most records on Mr. Filch’s side? ’

This question has a fairly easy answer.

"Professor McGonagall, I found out these guys were plotting something when I got up in the morning. Before I could say anything, they tried to escape. After I caught them and returned to the office, no one even protested. They were sure has a problem."

Mr. Filch opened the door to his office as he spoke - William immediately realized that these people had been locked in the office by Mr. Filch.

‘Isn’t it a good idea to do this? ’

But William is not the one who made the school rules, not to mention personal opinions and rules are two different things.

"My office has undergone a lot of protection. Those brats dreamed of stuffing something into my office, but they couldn't do it at all -"

Mr. Filch's voice stopped suddenly, and William and Professor McGonagall were stunned at the same time.

At this moment, in Mr. Filch's office, a group of students were working together. Some were lying on the wall, as if they were monitoring something, some were flipping through files quickly, and some began to search for confiscated dangerous goods. It seems like a good team has entered the room - the thieving kind.

‘Well, Professor McGonagall, you’re here in vain. ’
