From Azkaban To Hogwarts

'I have a headache...'

During lunch time, William sat at the staff table and pressed his temples with his hands - he felt his teeth hurt.

He stole the scattered records of more than forty years from Professor Snape. When he started to get it, he was excited and didn't realize it. It was only when he got some sleep and sorted it out that he realized what a terrifying pile of things it was. .

More than forty years!

Even if it's the private account of Slytherin House, it won't record too many useless things, and it can kill someone if they are added up.

He regretted it now, regretted it very much - although he knew that there was something he needed inside, and he basically stole it without any trouble, but when he saw the pile of things, he wanted to strangle himself for making the plan.

‘Can you finish reading it in one year? ’

William raised a suspicion, and then found that he could not find the answer at all, which made the food in his mouth taste tasteless.

"Professor, would you like to come to our table for dinner?"

Just when William lost his appetite, a rather pleasant voice came - it was Robert, a sixth grader from Hufflepuff.

After a little hesitation, William chose to eat at the Hufflepuff table without hesitation.

‘The difficulties are big enough. At least you can’t treat yourself badly when it comes to food. Moreover, one person is trying to calculate his shortcomings, and everyone is trying to figure out their strengths. There’s no telling what he can find out from the students. ’

With this thought in mind, William happily walked to the Hufflepuff table.

"Professor Adams always told me that Hufflepuff's cooking skills are very good. I thought it was just an exception." William smiled and pulled out his chair and sat next to the familiar dishes. "It turns out that it's not until the holidays." Show it."

"Thank you for the compliment, Professor, we made a lot of new dishes today."

The surrounding students smiled and agreed.

"It looks good," William admired sincerely, "but it's not a problem if I keep coming here to make a living. Let's play a little game, and whoever can answer the answer will get a mysterious little gift. Although it doesn't count It’s not precious, but I think it should be quite useful to you.”

Everyone didn't like the fact that the lucky ones were free. The students who were still communicating suddenly stopped what they were doing and turned their attention to William.

Even the people at the surrounding tables couldn't help but raise their heads from the table and pay attention to what was going on here.

"Very good," William clapped his hands, "Here comes the question."

"Say, poor Professor William encountered a big joke made by his friend. He asked his friend to buy a batch of herbs mixed with weeds at a low price, and planned to screen out the useful herbs to refine the magic potion, but after the owl After two huge packages were delivered, he discovered that although the total number of herbs remained the same, because there were too many weeds, the batch of herbs became herbs mixed in with weeds.”

"Herbs are still very fresh and cannot be stored unless they have been processed. Please tell me," William smiled and knocked on the table, "How can the fooled Professor William pick out the herbs?"

William happily changed the concept and threw the question to the students, "Students from other colleges can also give it a try, but if you answer it well, you will be rewarded with a weaker one."

He turned his gaze back to the table, "Of course, the reward for the first one in Hufflepuff to come up with is still the same, but the answer cannot be the same as others."

A group of students who were over the freshness of the holiday suddenly felt as if they were on a drug. They didn't even eat and began to think hard. William, on the other hand, felt relaxed and began to study the dishes on the table.

‘Fish-flavored shredded pork and Kung Pao chicken, won’t they be sweet this time? ’

'There is just no rice, which is really a pity... Of course, the steamed buns are also good, but they don't go well with each other...'

He even started to be a little picky and began to experiment with the students' creations on the bread. In fact, there weren't many of them that were of elf quality, but the best thing was that the taste was fresh. It’s been a semester…

"Professor, Professor, I have it, I have it!"

'So fast? ’

William looked up and found a child who was usually shy, "Tell me about it?"

"Find someone. There are no low-scoring students in our Hufflepuff Herbology class. Just these people in the school will sort out the herbs right away!"

"It's a good idea and a good idea," William nodded in approval, "But unfortunately, Professor William didn't buy such a pile of herbs, and using so much manpower to pick weeds is a shameful waste. So - I can't count you. Get it right.”

"ah?"

"If you think about it again, there will be a better answer." William put down the bread and cheered the students. When the students continued to think seriously, he put a piece of lamb chop on his plate.

…

Next, several answers were rejected by William, but the students' interest was still very high.

"Professor, I thought about it. There is a magic that can be used." A Ravenclaw girl stood up from the table next to her. "This is a way to mark the thorns. As long as you mark one, the rest will be nearby." The thorns will also be marked so that people can find them easily. The only disadvantage is that they need to identify the first one. If it is improved, it can also be used in herbal medicine."

"Interesting," William nodded, "If there is no better answer, you will win the prize."

'It's a pity. It's good for living creatures, but it doesn't help at all in accessing information. I guess that's it. After all, you can't really say you want to access information, right? ’

Although he didn't get any useful information, William gave up his expectations - give out the reward.

But just as he was about to declare the hiccup over, a surprise occurred.

"I thought of one too, Professor!"

At the Hufflepuff dining table, a little girl also stood up and said, "Use a curse to curse the selected herbs within a limited range. As long as the curse effect is mild enough and the range is limited, all herbs will be cursed." Get up—like we curse it to change color?”

Although William had a headache when he heard the word curse, after thinking about it for a moment, he found that it seemed feasible - restricting it to the office, cursing the name Tom Riddle, and making the font color change and bold, wouldn't it be the same as an index? Already?

It's clear to read at a glance. Although you will definitely miss a lot of details and useful things, at least you can catch all the most important information in one go. Details and so on can be found slowly from around the highlighted text - even if there are deviations. , and at least more than 70% of the useful parts can be found in a short period of time.

'The only problem is that the curse that specifies the name in the data does not exist yet - but it is not a big problem. I can create one, and it probably won't take long. ’

Magic is not that rigid. It is quite difficult to create magic out of thin air, but it is not that difficult to make a magic that meets your requirements by tinkering and patchwork, especially for things like curses. I have studied a lot of black magic and want to make a small one. The curse of power is simply not easy.

Although it is not easier to reduce the power to the point where the paper is not destroyed than to develop a powerful spell, William feels that he can do it.

‘In a month at most, I can develop this magic, and’

"What a great idea. Although it is different from the answer, it is a brand new solution!" William clapped and praised, although he did not have the answer. "Of course, the Ravenclaw classmate just now was also great. You won It's not a Hufflepuff house prize, it's also a mysterious gift."

"Well, Professor, I don't want a gift. I want to borrow a book from the restricted area."

The Ravenclaw girl looked at William and made her request.

"Borrowing books?" William spread his hand, "Well, as expected of a Ravenclaw student, come to my office with the approval note on the first day of school - if I approve it to you today, I'm afraid that Mrs. Pince will I hate that the approval slip has expired."

"What about you?" William turned to look at the Hufflepuff students - he had never expected that a first-year student could come up with such an idea. This child simply solved the problem he encountered perfectly.

"It's not easy for a first-year student to be like you," William sighed. In the joy of solving the problem, he didn't see the strange looks from the students around him. "In addition to the rewards I promised, I will provide an additional bonus. Here it is, not much, eleven galleons, just the same age as you, you made perfect use of it—"

"Well, professor," the little student raised his head, "it's fourteen. I'm in the fourth grade, so I'm fourteen years old..."

William lowered his head and stared at the person who spoke. He was this tall and looked like this - he had indeed seen him before, in the Black Lake.

'Thelma of Hufflepuff -' the name came to mind for the child who had escaped confinement too quickly, and well - the steamed fish was delicious.

‘It’s just three galleons, isn’t it? ’

William was speechless for a while. It was very speechless for this child to be so stubborn - he completely forgot that some students couldn't even spare a galleon.

Three Galleons is not a small amount of money for any student, but the currency depreciated severely when he was in Azkaban, and the professor's salary after coming to Hogwarts was so generous that he did not have a very accurate understanding. .

"Okay," William was in a good mood and didn't care about it at all, "then fourteen, Selma from Hufflepuff."

"Professor, can you exchange the mysterious gift? I also want to borrow banned books from the library, just two."

"Are you sure?" William's eyes suddenly widened - why are two people trying to borrow banned books, and why is his mysterious gift so unpopular?

"I'm sure, Professor."

There are some regrets for you...

"Okay, come to my place to get the approval slip when school starts." William stretched out his hand to show helplessness, "You have almost used up all the extra approval slips I had in the first month of school."

Although the entire library of the school is open to professors, students who want to borrow must have an approval slip, and each professor can only approve a limited number of books each month. After leaving enough quota for the sixth and seventh grade students, Naturally, there are not many ordinary students.

There is no way, most banned books cannot be copied, and their contents are not suitable for copying. Basically, everyone has to wait in line to borrow the next one. If every professor can approve a bunch of books, there will not be enough books. ——One or two books are fine. If you can borrow them at will, you can have a duel every day at the library door to grab books.

Moreover, it is not a good thing for lower grade students to be exposed to those banned books. Even for upper grade students, if they are not the top students who have the ability to learn, they are asking for trouble if they focus on it. This is why the teacher must mark them before they can borrow them. The main reason.

The two successful students snickered, obviously feeling that they had made a lot of money.

‘Taking advantage of the crowds and the good atmosphere, let’s tell the plan in advance and teach these two students a lesson. ’

William made a little judgment and decided not to do human affairs.

"Since the two winners have chosen to give up their prizes, as a professor I am embarrassed to take them back with peace of mind - how about this, Christmas, everyone is here for Christmas, right?"

William smiled and increased his volume.

"Professor, we are all here!"

Those who stayed must have stayed at school for Christmas, so they answered without hesitation.

"On Christmas Day, we have a big event!"

William announced loudly, "Because you may not like the content of the event, I announced the prize in advance - the mysterious gift that was rejected this time!"

"A small bottle of blessed elixir! Enough for eight hours!"

William loudly shouted out the reward - to be precise, it was one-third of a bottle. As a former pharmacist, he had large and small potion containers in his luggage. Isn't that excessive?

In the morning, when he couldn't find a good way to deal with the mountain of information, he almost couldn't help but drink it.

Then he discovered that carrying a twenty-four-hour bottle of Felixir was like carrying a hammer, and he wanted to smash everything he saw.

His current potion level is stuck at a very subtle stage. If he works harder to improve, he will be able to master the details of this potion when he takes the elixir for the first time, so he will never drink it at this time. Felixir.

Anyway, the recipe came out in one bite, so he simply divided the bottle into three parts, one of which was used as a reward to lure students out to participate in the activity, and the remaining two were kept to see what other uses they could use.

As a result, such a difficult problem was solved. He was so happy that he wanted to use it as a reward (he planned to exchange it for another one), but he was rejected!

‘If you don’t show it off, you don’t know what you’re missing! ’

The students below were stunned, but the senior students soon came to their senses and began to fight with the people around them.

Soon, everyone knew what the prize was - everyone was as happy as if Christmas was today.

The faces of the two children who borrowed the banned books suddenly became very good-looking, which made William quite satisfied.

"Well, in order to increase the fun of the event and to give everyone a chance to get it, I will announce the rules of the event in advance."

"For the sake of fairness, there will be an exam that day!"

William announced with a smile.

Many students suddenly became eggplants beaten by frost, but William quickly announced additional regulations.

"For open-book examinations, you can bring any books into the examination room and consult reference materials to answer questions before the end of the examination."

"Of course, the amount of questions is not as large as usual, so students with good grades may have a greater advantage?" William revealed a little bit, "But students who bring the right books may have an advantage?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say," William shook his head, making an uncertain expression.

‘If you add a blessing elixir to an open-book exam, I don’t believe anyone can still stay in the lounge! ’
