From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"The ingredients for the joy potion. In your current state, is it really okay to brew this potion?"

Adams placed a large bag of herbal ingredients on the table, pulled a chair over and sat down, looking at William with concern.

"There shouldn't be any big problem -" William lay lazily on the table, feeling like he couldn't muster the energy to do anything, "Maybe taking medicine will help me recover."

"But it's finally sunny today, why don't you go out for a walk?"

Adams pointed to the sun that barely peeked out of the window, "Are you planning to stay in the sun on your desk?"

"It's not these suns. I can't even think of the joy potion. It would be nice to go out for a walk, but I don't want to move at all now." William moved his chair to ensure that he moved to the sun as much as possible - he had never I think the sunshine is so lovely.

"Okay, it's good to bask in the sun." Adams moved his stool under the sun with a speechless expression, leaned on the back of the chair, and raised his feet, "But you are also true, although the rain is heavy this year Yes, but it's within the normal range, right? You've become so decadent all of a sudden, you hardly look like an Englishman."

"It doesn't look like it, it doesn't look like it. I've never been a teacher before, haven't I done a good job?"

As William spoke, he lazily picked up his snacks and threw a bag to Adams.

"No - what does being a teacher have to do with being British?"

"Yes, but what does not liking rain have to do with the British?" William asked from his soul. "I have never encountered rainy days before - when the weather in England was bad before, my teacher took me to Australia. ah."

"But you have to study at Hogwarts in October. Which student doesn't come here like this?"

"That's you, Adams," William leaned down on the table. The rare sunshine in October warmed the table, which warmed him from body to heart after being tortured for half a month. "Master-apprentice teaching, It’s very convenient for two people to walk.”

"To be precise, we don't have a fixed classroom at all, and the books are very convenient to transport. The laboratory can just find a quiet place at will. It's just a matter of processing and strengthening the room. A few magic problems are not difficult. "

…

You deserve to suffer!

William talked about it to death - but there is really no way to make up a story about this experience, and falsification of resume is a very serious problem.

——

The brief sunny day that finally ushered in made William's mood finally return to normal, and some measures that he had never thought of to improve his condition finally came to mind.

Cast spells on the room to keep it dry, increase the fire volume in the fireplace to increase the indoor temperature, and light magic flames in the office to heat up - if he were not afraid of hypoxia or carbon monoxide poisoning, William would even want to cancel the ventilation.

‘While there is sunshine today, do more things. You can’t be affected by the damp air all the time. ’

This idea sounds good, but it is too difficult to implement in practice - William cannot ignore his body's desire for sunlight at all, and he is not even willing to leave the sun for a minute.

The rain for more than half a month has made everything in the castle extremely damp, and this dampness is simply fatal to him. If he is slightly away from the sun, the dampness will remind him of the gray gang in Azkaban. Skin.

"It's so annoying!"

Fortunately, the windows in the office are big enough, and the professor's room is nice enough, so that his room gets plenty of sunlight——

"Fortunately, it's not the previous era of taxing based on window area, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to do anything. It doesn't seem like I'm from the UK?" ’

While cheering up with complaints and doing something within his ability under the sun, this is a state that William can only maintain by forcing himself to work hard.

‘The investigation progress is almost non-existent. Is this damn rain really not the curse of the Dark Lord? ’

Even if the damn curse wasn't so severe, the continuous rain made William lose his temper at work - if it weren't for the house elf helping to prepare the quilt and keep it warm, William would feel like he was sleeping at night. A person was stuffed into the dementor's mouth.

——

"Ah sneeze!"

As William got out of bed, a cold wind mixed with moisture hit him directly.

"Damn it," he quickly got dressed, and then took out a potion from the bedside table - the joy potion he just made yesterday.

After Gududu drank the potion, he looked out the window in a semi-normal manner - and sure enough, it was raining again.

‘Damn rain, when will it stop? ’

The joy potion played its intended role to some extent. Although William did not achieve the expected effect of making him happy like Yasuo in 0/21/1, he was able to do things normally.

‘Think on the bright side, at least the elation agent is working, otherwise if it continues to be depressed, the teaching status will be affected. ’

"We have classes today, seventh graders... Do you really want them to fight in muddy water?"

William was a little confused - it was okay to fight in mud and water, and his safety should be guaranteed, but his own emotional control was really a problem. He was like this even if he didn't get wet in the rain in the castle. If he went out and got wet again, he really didn't think he could survive even thinking about it. live.

'They will have fun, I'll do my best to protect myself from the rain——'

In the end, William made up his mind to take the students outside to fight. As long as he could overcome it himself, there should be no big problem.

"Bart, are you there?"

William called to the house elf.

——

"It's time to go to class!"

The seventh graders were very happy - unlike the fifth graders, they were happy to take the self-defense magic class and even wished they had more classes.

"Did you hear that one of the fifth grade students got an O? Not only did he win twenty college points, but he also got thirty galleons from the professor!"

"How come I haven't heard of it? Thirty galleons. My weekly internship salary is only five galleons!"

"Are you in office?"

"Of course," the speaker said very proudly, "over at Gringotts, but we are still in the training stage, and the weekly salary is pitiful."

These words are quite Versailles - but no one here is too envious. Those who can learn self-defense magic at Hogwarts and enter the advanced class are the best batch in the grade.

"I don't know what the class is this week. The professor hasn't been in good condition lately - he looks sick, as if he has a cold."

"Did you notice it too?"

"Well, that's right, I suspect Snape is poisoning. He will do that. There is no one in Hogwarts Castle who knows poison better than him!"

"It's hard to say, but I'm more inclined to think that he's writing papers for sixth graders, which makes it hard to get a good rest every day—"

"Eh? Sixth grade papers? Then it's our turn to be miserable, right?"

"What are you worried about? We all have internships next, and we can take time off from classes. What are we worried about? We'll be done with it if we pass the graduation exam."

A few students were chatting and went off topic - when William opened the door and came in, the group of people were chatting extremely happily.

"Sorry, I'm a little late today, I did some preparations."

William slowly stepped onto the podium, "What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"

But unlike in the past, today a group of students didn't answer him at all - there was nothing they could do about it, they could hardly recognize the professor above.

The professor on the stage was almost three or two times wider, but his face remained unchanged, and he didn’t know what the bulges on his body were—

"Professor, why are you wearing a raincoat?"

'Not only the raincoat, but also the raincoat outside. The rain gear the elf found is really complete...although they are all old...'

In William's stereotype, the wizarding world shouldn't have so many measures to prevent rain - wizards are too convenient to move around, there are several magic spells to keep out the rain, and clothes are easy to clean. It's good to have an umbrella, and there is such a thing as a raincoat They are all used by people with special jobs...

"The raincoat is not important. What is important is that we are preparing for practical lessons today. Are you interested?"

"Of course!"

The students said in unison, but soon someone raised their hands - the seventh grade students were about to graduate and were the skinniest.

"Professor, we heard that the fifth graders got a bonus from you, is that true?"

"Of course it's true," William replied with a smile and an exaggerated tone, "Hey, I just got paid yesterday. You kids who are about to start internships and start working, aren't you planning on causing secondary damage to my wallet?"

He stretched out a finger and waved it, "Don't even think about it, unless half of you get E or above in the final N.E.W.Ts exam, then I will invite you to a banquet or something, and there will be bonuses and so on. Forget it."

This action looked particularly hilarious when paired with his thick clothes, and the students underneath burst into laughter.

"Okay, let's go when you've laughed enough. We don't have that much time -" William took the lead and walked out of the classroom, and added a Bubble Charm to himself, "Follow me!"

The sound that was turned into a rumbling sound by the Bubble Head Charm reached the ears of the students behind him. They laughed and followed William closely, and began to look forward to this practical class - they were quite satisfied with the class.

But as they walked, the students realized something was wrong - this was not the way to the practice classroom, but towards the school gate.

"Professor, are we going to go on an internship on campus?"

"It's still early. Although you are all adults, it is too early for you to leave school for internship, but today's class will be very interesting-" William said towards the back without looking back.

Are you kidding? Taking students out without reporting is not what a professor should do. Although the seventh grade students are adults, large-scale exodus activities are not something to do casually - students who have not left school must be obedient. It is very strong. Just three or four professors with many students and a group of adult students are enough to start a war. Especially the students in his course are recognized as having strong fighting ability.

‘Salary was just paid yesterday, how could such a mistake be made? The salary at Hogwarts is not low. Although you will not make a fortune from the salary, it is much higher than the salary of civil servants...'

‘Speaking of which, why was the salary paid yesterday? Do happy things have to be consumed all at once? ’

Groaning in his heart, William's steps forward paused - he was about to leave the castle gate, and the sound of rapid rain hitting the door had already entered his ears.

‘We have to go to class! ’

After checking the equipment again, William gritted his teeth and walked forward directly.

"Don't fall behind, keep up!"

He gave his last instructions to the students and then walked out of the castle gate.

After he stood completely in the rain, he felt relieved - the multiple protections were much more effective than he thought, especially the umbrella he had just put up temporarily, even the raincoat was protected, let alone I'm wearing a raincoat inside.

This scene stunned the students following behind - No, Professor, are you wearing such thick clothes to go outside the castle?

"What are you doing standing still? Come out!"

William took out the wand with the hand that was not holding the umbrella, and let the umbrella float there to protect it from the wind and rain - "Today's practical course is about extreme spell casting. When you are dueling with someone, you won't just throw it down just because it's going to rain." Wand surrender?"

"Of course not, but—"

"What's so good about it? I was originally worried about how to create an extreme environment, but now I just have it, right?"

William's smiling face was distorted by the Bubble Charm and reflected in the eyes of every seventh grader. However, no matter which student it was, the face felt more distorted than before - they all understood the reason, but Professor, you are wearing a raincoat. What about holding an umbrella?

"It seems that I have to help you," William shook his head. The wand in his hand pointed to the land next to the castle without stopping. A large cloud of muddy water floated on the land that had accumulated water due to the continuous rainfall, and then floated on it. A bunch of students smashed into it without reacting.

"ah!"

"Merlin!"

"sky!"

At the moment when the rain broke away, these children did not even have time to take out their wands, and the attack from the professor was completely destroyed. The splashing muddy water stained the entire hall, and also stained everyone's robes, faces, and hair and other parts.

'There are only three people who tried to cast the iron armor spell, but they haven't succeeded yet. This year's students have done too much self-study and not enough practical practice...'

'Fifth graders can also consider doing this once, otherwise they may be slower to respond than these students in the future...'

"Okay, your clothes are dirty now, so there's nothing to worry about, right?" William began to speak quietly, "Come out, everyone. Practicing magic in the rain is a new experience. It's a limited course for October."

'It seems that smashing the students is good for the body and mind. This feeling is a bit worse than yesterday's sunbathing...'

This kind of happiness from the heart made William feel like he was struggling to find happy things in Azkaban to keep himself from going crazy, so he quickly shut his mouth - if he said something he shouldn't have said , this professor really can’t be...

"Come on, let's go to class!"

While extending his hand to signal the students out, he returned to the hall, waved his wand at the splashes of mud, and began to clean up the stains he had caused.

‘No, Professor, we have them too, you should take a look! ’

The students were full of resentment and had the mentality of breaking the pot and standing in the rain without even applying the Soaking Curse - their hair was dirty anyway, so it might be better to wash it off with the rain...

"Be happy," William finished quickly and stood in the crowd with full armor, "We still have a long way to go, remember to apply the Bubble Charm - be careful not to catch a cold."

ps: There was a power outage, and the laptop finally ran out of power to write. I was really great...
