From Azkaban To Hogwarts

(The end of the previous chapter has been slightly modified)

A green box full of life slowly opened in the void, and a shining card jumped out.

[Bless the bewitcher of the curse; after the last curse completely killed the victim and backfired on the caster, the curse fell into a strange state, and in the new round of being cursed, you confused the name of the cursed object. , the curse is thrown into complete chaos after a new cursed person becomes the target of the curse.

Confusion (passive): When the number of cursed objects is greater than two, the killing effect cannot take effect, and the other effects are greatly weakened. When the first victim of the curse dies in this round, this card is destroyed. 】

Is the last sentence unnecessary?

William pretended to be silent and opened the box immediately.

The result surprised him a little - the information about the last curse was completely different from what Dumbledore told him.

The information he received before entering the school was that the most seriously injured person had been hospitalized for a year and a half.

The newly tricked professor will not be killed by the curse, and the curse he received will be greatly weakened. Both of these are good things, but he really can't ignore the message of the curse victim.

Pretending to be silent, he raised his head and asked Dumbledore casually:

"Professor Dumbledore, I want to know who my last professor was. There are still many things that I don't know very well. I want to use an owl to ask him some questions - I hope he won't mind. In addition, if possible, can Tell me how that professor died last year?"

As a successor, it was quite normal to consult the former professor, but the curse was a matter of life, so he wanted to ask for clarification.

Although it was not obvious, Dumbledore's expression changed again and again. After a period of silence, he finally responded to William:

"That professor from two years ago, I will contact him after you arrive at Hogwarts to see if he is willing to contact you...

As for last year, I originally planned to keep this matter secret because it would cause panic in the entire magical society, but I think in the future, we will meet that person more and more, and I think, William, you will become our My partner, I can tell you all this, but you must swear not to reveal it. "

"Okay, I swear."

William stretched out his hand and pointed his wand at it - the refining of some illegal potions in the black market often requires oaths of various levels of confidentiality.

The pale yellow beam of light flowed, and after an oath to pay a compensation of up to three thousand galleons, William waited for the answer he wanted.

"Your last professor was Professor Quirrell. Unfortunately, he died during his tenure, but that was not caused by the curse, but because he trusted the wrong person - he was personally killed by the person who released the curse. Killed."

"The Releaser?"

"Yes, my former student, Voldemort, was angry at me for not hiring him as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, and cast a spell to curse the position. Although I have dabbled in dark magic, I am not good at it. There is no way to remove this curse."

William looked at the special card [Dark Wizard Dumbledore] in his bag and gave up interrupting.

"Wait a minute, Professor Dumbledore, if I remember correctly, the Dark Lord was defeated ten years ago. How could he show up at Hogwarts and kill the previous professor?"

"I said ten years ago that he would eventually come back. He bewitched Professor Quirrell and used Professor Quirrell to sneak into Hogwarts. After he was finally defeated, he killed Professor Quirrell."

William thought of the scene he had seen when Voldemort was reborn, and then he realized that Hogwarts might be far more dangerous than he thought.

The Dark Lord, whom the prisoners in Azkaban called the Mysterious Man, did not secretly resurrect himself with little calculation, but began to attack Hogwarts before he was resurrected, and finally successfully resurrected himself—— If it weren't for the curse, William would most likely have fled abroad.

"There is only so much I can tell you at the moment. I am just guessing about many things. I am still looking for evidence to prove them. I hope this information will make you no longer doubtful. Professor Quirrell's affairs cannot be disclosed to the outside world. , I don’t want you to think we deceived you when you learn about him in the future.”

Dumbledore said sincerely.

"I will, Principal."

————

After sending Dumbledore away, William rarely spent a long time in a daze.

There was no way, the message he just received was too big.

Thinking about it carefully, he was just asking about the last Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Even if he had to tell it, was it necessary to be so confidant to his temporary professor?

Although there are restrictions under the oath, such unnecessary things are not worth Dumbledore's effort.

When you treat others with courtesy, you must ask for something.

According to what he learned from the prison inmates and Old Tom, Dumbledore did not have a granddaughter of the right age or a granddaughter ready to get married, so the only one who might be able to use him was what Dumbledore called ten years ago. It predicted the return of the mysterious man.

This uninteresting speculation made him hate the notes he had taken on the table, but he quickly adjusted his mentality.

Now that he was targeted by that difficult curse, he was definitely going to kill Voldemort.

Even if the new card prompted a weakening of the curse's effect, he was still very careful about the curse - weakening, what effect is weakening?

Will you be in a wheelchair for the rest of your life?

Losing an arm or a leg forever to black magic?

Lost an ear or eye?

Sorry, he was quite happy using these organs and had no intention of donating them just because a guy named Mysterious Man wanted to use them.

Thinking of this, he simply gave up resting, turned the book to the page with the bookmark, and then prepared paper and pen, ready to continue studying.

Killing Voldemort is not just a matter of words. Although it is almost impossible to kill Voldemort by reading, reading can bring him closer and closer to the mysterious man.

Then, rely on the system, rely on the prophet who doesn't know when it will be fulfilled, and rely on the power of the first white wizard to kill the guy named Voldemort.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door of the room.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." William shouted towards the door angrily.

No need to ask, it must be Old Tom.

Sure enough, the guy William pointed his wand at after the other party pushed the door was Old Tom who came for the fourth time - since he discovered that he was cursed, William had always pulled out his wand immediately.

The tea, hot chocolate, nuts and a series of things on the table that should not be in the bar were all sent by Old Tom, just to see Dumbledore.

"Ah, Professor Dumbledore is gone?"

"Let's go. If you don't leave, he's afraid he won't be able to survive. The bar can collect so many snacks. It's really yours."

"Snacks? I forgot to mention it. The rest is mine. Your cup of hot chocolate will be worth ten sips."

"The bar doesn't have this kind of food, it's from somewhere else."

William rolled his eyes directly at him.
