From Azkaban To Hogwarts

Although there are a lot of rainy days at Hogwarts every year, none of the students feel that the rain is so scary.

Although it was only a few steps from Hogsmeade Station to the school where the carriages were parked, with every step, the rainwater hit like knives made of ice, sending cold air to every part of the body.

William, who was talking to Dumbledore, felt something was wrong as he spoke - when school first started, the students should have been so active that the rain couldn't dampen their enthusiasm for communication. Why did it seem like they were hit by frost today?

"Sorry, principal..."

He apologized to Dumbledore, then walked against the line of students, opened a large bag of chocolate beans, stuffed a few chocolate beans into each student, and distributed them along the way.

"It will be better if you eat it," he said in a loud voice, every few steps, and then distributed them along the line.

After a while, one bag of chocolate beans was distributed, and he took out another large bag and continued to distribute.

——

"What a sweet chocolate..."

Fred popped the chocolate chip into his mouth and tried to suppress the memory of the thick stack of vacation plans tumbling in his mind.

"Professor! Why do first graders only have chocolate frogs, and we third graders only have chocolate beans?"

The discordant sounds from the crowd made him turn his head away to see which idiot had said such a thing - of course, he was also jealous of the first-year student.

Coincidentally, he recognized the person who was shouting at once - it was a group of three people, and the one he hated the most was pushing to the side as if he wanted to draw a clear line with his friends...

‘No wonder, it’s those two idiots. ’

He recognized it immediately - stupid Ron always talked about punching those two idiots in the nose, and also showed off the story of Scabbers biting their fingers for a long time.

"Oh, that..."

William glanced at the students who tried to question him and shook his head, "The transformation technique mastered by the first grade is enough to turn some things into tools that can block the rain. It doesn't look good, but it is definitely better than being exposed to the rain..."

"I do understand the fact that you can dry your clothes with just one spell when you return to the castle... But if you put your wand in your pocket or somewhere else, you have no other plans..."

William's voice was not loud, and was even partially obscured by the sound of rain, but almost all the students felt their faces were hot, as if someone had slapped them...

This emerging sense of shame immediately freed them from the sequelae of being affected by the dementors. Almost instantly, the trees on the road suffered disaster - they were just temporarily deformed, and the leaves were very useful.

The nervous atmosphere among the first-year students at the back of the queue was gone - although this was their first exposure to the wizarding world, Hogwarts was no longer scary after seeing so many senior students frustrated.

"We don't have enough chocolate frogs. I'll give you more chocolate."

William remained calm and continued to distribute chocolates to the freshmen, and then moved to the senior students and began to distribute chocolates little by little.

This made the freshman smile even more.

Although they don't know much about the magical world yet, the new professor is great - although the dementors are scary, weren't they dealt with by the professor in five minutes?

According to the seniors, those are the guards of Azkaban. No, even the strikers can't deal with those guys!

"By the way, I wish you a pleasant journey!"

When the professor was almost out of sight of them, the freshmen suddenly heard these words.

'Have a nice trip? ’

Many people had such doubts in their minds, and then discovered that Hagrid, who was leading them, had taken another fork in the road.

Although they were full of doubts, they still followed Hagrid and moved forward.

——

"Pfft hahaha!!!!!!"

I don't know which student started, but there was a chuckle.

Then the laughter spread like it was contagious, and the residual influence of the dementors disappeared quickly in the laughter like lingering snow under the scorching sun.

After all the freshmen turned around, all the students, including the prefects, couldn't help laughing.

Even William, who was handing out a new batch of chocolate beans, couldn't hold it in anymore.

"Okay, okay, take it and eat it. This will help you."

He quickly put the chocolate into the student's hands, keeping his posture from smiling.

The first-year students at Hogwarts go to school completely differently from other grades - this is also an important reason why William treats them differently.

The other grades flew over in a carriage, but the little unlucky first grader took a boat...

It’s still raining today…

The seventh-grade students laughed and came closer. They were originally at the end of the line, but now the candy distribution has not yet reached them.

"Professor, was the Patronus Charm you used first?"

They have become familiar with professors last year and are more courageous than students who have just entered sixth grade.

"Yes, but it's not a spell for exams. Generally speaking, we don't discuss this magic in class."

The difficulty of the Patronus Charm is too high, and it is not impossible for a whole grade to be annihilated. This kind of magic that undermines students' self-confidence will naturally not appear in the classroom. Moreover, since the Ministry of Magic uses dementors as guards in Azkaban, such a highly targeted spell is unlikely to appear in the exam.

Of course, this still does not affect wizards who can use it normally being looked down upon in private.

"Can't you learn, Professor?"

"Of course not - what is your patronus charm?"

Before William could answer, another student helped William respond, "You will know if you read more books. This thing is not something you can master. Going forward in time, wizards who can summon physical patron saints often Being elected as a high-ranking official of the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic! (Note)"

"Wizengamot?"

"A senior official from the Ministry of Magic?"

The students surrounding him exclaimed.

The former is the Wizarding Tribunal, and the latter is not to mention, even for pure bloods, these two positions are quite attractive.

"It's all history in the past, it doesn't have that kind of thing now."

William looked at the student who spoke and laughed, "Kelly, it seems you have gained a lot this summer."

"In the past, the Patronus Charm was not so popular, and the learning methods were uncertain. The people who could summon the Patronus at that time were wizards with lofty ideals, so they could become such people. It was the people who decided the spell, not the spell. people."

"So," he looked at the students, "Now that you have learned this spell, it won't have any effect. The Ministry of Magic will not use it to find officials - otherwise I will give you special training this semester and take NEWTs."

A group of students laughed, then boarded the carriage and embarked on the last journey back to school.

"Hey, tell me, the professor has been to Azkaban before, right?"

"Of course, the news has spread all over the summer vacation. Didn't you see how my mother heard that all the fifth grade students passed the exam last year? From what she said, she wished the professor would come out early and teach all my fifth grade students."

"Yeah, well, tell me, how many dementors are guarding the professor? There were so many dementors today, and the professor didn't even take five minutes to get rid of them..."

"hiss…"

The student in the same car thought for a moment, then took a breath of air, "I'm afraid, Sirius is right next door to the professor? That's why he's so guarded against that guy?"
