From Azkaban To Hogwarts

While William was at Durmstrang urging the quills to work hard without anyone noticing, the Quidditch field on the Hogwarts campus was already filled with cheerful laughter.

If there is anything happier than receiving a Firebolt, it would be getting a broom and suddenly finding out that you have the use of the entire Quidditch field during the holidays and can fly around at will.

And when this joy is shared with friends, not only will it not be scattered, but it will also occupy every corner of your body like being under an expansion spell.

Anyway, that's what Harry thinks now. At this moment, the Quidditch pitch is almost red - George, Fred, Ron, Ginny, and almost all the Weasley children staying at school are here. .

"That's just Percy - but that big head never knew the fun of Quidditch."

George said confidently, and then secretly pointed at Hermione who was reading in the corner - "Of course, although Hermione is excellent in all aspects, she..."

Harry and Ron nodded quietly. Perhaps because her flying lessons had never been very good, Hermione didn't have much of a fondness for Quidditch...

"Ginny, don't be shy!" Fred, who had just flown around in the air on the Firebolt, landed. "Let's try the Firebolt. Although the Nimbus 2000 is great, it is still inferior to the Firebolt. A little bit.”

Harry called them together just to share the joy, otherwise Fred wouldn't shout with Harry's broom - there was no way, Ginny was too shy when she met Harry, Fred was sure , if he didn't shout, then Ginny would probably have been squatting in the corner making a little transparent.

In the end, the temptation of the Firebolt defeated her shyness. Ginny came over hesitantly, climbed onto the broom skillfully, and then tried to control it.

Seeing this situation, Harry unconsciously took a step back - as someone who had flown it several times, he knew the performance of the Firebolt all too well, and he was afraid that Ginny would continue to become nervous.

"Thanks for sharing, Harry."

George patted Harry on the shoulder, not politely at all - they had been training and playing together on the school team for more than two years, and they were close enough to Harry to share most of their pranks.

"Of course, we also need to thank the generous Sirius -" Fred came over from the other side with a happy expression.

"Now we're more certain of one thing -" George caught it before Harry could answer, "that the Firebolt really is the best broom."

"But now we have a little question," Fred said as he took out a small piece of parchment from his pocket. "Harry, do you know Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs? "

'of course I know…'

Harry almost nodded directly, but he quickly realized one thing - the name Moon Face was related to the secret that Lupine had always kept. Although the twins were trustworthy and reliable teammates, the matter was so important that he would never reveal it. This news.

But lying was a very difficult thing for him. After a long while, he finally gave the two people an answer against their will, "Sorry, we really haven't heard of it."

But these words were not convincing to Harry himself. Perhaps because he swallowed the saliva, the whole sentence was said dryly. If you pay a little attention, you can tell the deception in it.

But no matter what, the name Moonface was too heavy a reminder, so Harry had no choice but to use a lame excuse and leave before he even had time to pick up the Firebolt.

"Sorry, I forgot to make an appointment with Professor Lupin. After you finish training, let Ron take the broom back. I have to go to the hospital!"

Harry left in a hurry and fled.

"Very suspicious, my dear brother."

Watching Harry leave, Fred unfolded the parchment. On it was the information they had finally deceived from Professor Binns. In order to copy these, they really pretended to be in solitary confinement for a day. The data.

"Of course, it's very suspicious. If we hadn't heard the name Wormtail occasionally, maybe we wouldn't be able to connect the two at all."

George replied coolly, then helplessly reached out and grabbed a handful of hair, "So what should we do now!"

"That Marauder's Map taught us so much -" he became entangled, "we always thought they might be better teachers than all the professors -"

"That's true," said Fred, who was not very interested. "They used to be so noble. They measured the whole school and made maps just for us juniors who were fighting against the school rules... But now..."

"Yes, they are all professors now..."

George looked disappointed - it was so unfair to be tricked by Sirius, and they were punished by Peeves for it afterwards.

However, after the results of the investigation came out, they were not very angry - in comparison, they were more entangled with Lupine's betrayal, which really made them unhappy.

"He betrayed his declaration!" Fred repeated in a low voice, "I solemnly swore that I had done nothing wrong - but now, he has become one of the most popular professors in the school..."

"Unless Snape is also the creator, I can't think of anything worse-"

"Think on the bright side, Snape was..."

"Keep your voice down!" George reminded, "Ron is still here! He is the most impulsive. If he and Snape get into a fight, no one can confirm what he says!"

——

Theoretically, records involving professors cannot be seen by students. Filch knew it, and so did Professor Binns. However, due to special reasons for compiling school history, the twins still managed to get it.

Similarly, the core of war magic teaching, which was originally impossible to open to Hogwarts, was placed in front of William due to the extremely difficult test papers and students with solid foundations.

Amidst the rustling of quills around him, William began to formally study war magic.

Compared to duels, which overlap with most fields of self-defense, the war magic course established shortly after the school was founded is Durmstrang's specialty course.

Judging from the answers on the test paper, the most critical area of ​​Durmstrang's war magic is regional rather than individual.

To put it simply, it is single-target magic and group attack.

[When magic is used in war, no matter how powerful a single magic is, there is a limit. In order to intimidate and create panic, we can sacrifice the power of most magic to make the magic look more powerful...]

This is the answer on the test paper - Judging from this description, William is almost certain of one thing. In the original version, the so-called war magic was definitely not aimed at wizards.

‘The other thing is the ritual. In order to pursue faster shooting speed, commonly used magic has directly given up the use of rituals in exchange for faster shooting speed. ’

‘But these should also be in the copied books——’

He looked at the quill that kept copying over there, and began to search for more suitable books on the bookshelf.

Although he brought a lot, even if he used up all those quills, it was still unknown how many books he could copy - the amount of books in the school library was no joke.

'By the way, the so-called burning of Paris is probably a mixture of knowledge from multiple fields - one person trying to burn down a city is too scary...'

Although that was not an appropriate analogy, William still thought of nuclear bombs, burning cities and destroying land, and this was probably the only thing that could compare.

'If I'm not wrong, the infamous Inferi in black magic should also be included in war magic here.' William compared what he saw in the paper and began to search for it in the books that could be copied, but To no avail.

'It's impossible...it doesn't make sense...'

‘Is it considered too evil, so it’s been classified as a banned book area? ’

He shook his head helplessly, then speculated on the next magic and began to search for possible areas.

——

"Are you asking Professor William from Hogwarts to answer questions?"

"Don't be stupid, kid. His problems were solved one after another last time by our Victor and Doris. He was so embarrassed and humiliated. How can I let you do it again?"

"After all, they are guests from afar, and moderate competition is necessary, but it would be our fault to go and provoke them again."

"Of course not. After all, the other party is a young professor. It really can't be justified for us to target him like this. We can't go to him privately - Professor McGonagall from Hogwarts is still here. If she gets angry, things won't be good either. manage."

…

"So, you still failed to convince Professor Baker in the end?"

Doris finally calmed down and could have a good chat with her best friend.

"Yes, he is very determined, as if I want to use a magic wand to curse that Professor William -" she looked helpless, "I can't say that I think the questions over there are challenging..."

After staying in this school for such a long time, even the most eccentric professor will have his character figured out by his students, just like the Gryffindor students who heard Snape's voice and knew that they would not be able to run away without deducting points. It cannot be refuted, but Durmstrang's children also know the consequences of saying that other schools are excellent in front of Professor Baker.

"By the way, what problem did that so-called self-defense professor ask? You were so lost at the time."

"It was actually very simple at the beginning -" although Doris was reluctant to recall it, she still said it, "but the later papers were...very special..."

…

"Can you still ask this question?"

Although Doris could not recall all the papers, even some of the papers that she recalled still made her best friend unable to close her mouth, "How could anyone answer this!"

——

"It's strange - why is there a box again? I don't know this person either..."

In the library, William looked at the extra new boxes, but he didn't even open them - he had been stocking them for a while, just waiting to brew the elixir to try his luck.

'Just a few more meal coupons, I don't expect anything else...'

He shook his head. One-time cards are definitely not more attractive than systematic magic. Durmstrang's ability to develop war magic into a system over the years is not bragging. In terms of gold content, it is definitely not as magical as Hogwarts. The biological system is poor.

Although Hagrid's teaching ability needs to be improved, in terms of raising magical creatures, Hagrid is definitely a competent professor. God knows how many magical creatures live in the huge Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

'After all, there was Newt Scamander... If I didn't have more energy to devote to it, I would definitely study magical creatures. ’

Putting such thoughts behind him, William began to analyze war magic again - although time was tight, this magic system that can be linked with most magic is particularly interesting after getting started.

Probably because of the name of war, a series of eliminated auxiliary methods such as cooperative casting and continuous casting have almost all appeared. Although there are some situations analyzed, it is already an improvement on the existing magic system.

Although the magical world is somewhat reverent to antiquity, it is not rigid at all when it comes to the practical use of magic - in fact, it cannot be rigid at all.

The existing spell systems are all short and fast. If your armor spell cannot be cast almost instantly, then no matter how many and comprehensive the defense is, it will be nonsense - before you use it, you will Hang up.

‘Although Hogwarts has a similar collection of books, in terms of a system, it is far inferior to what Durmstrang compiled and developed... I found a treasure. ’

Although it is a bit unsightly to study theory with students' test papers, William no longer cares about it.

Without a systematic theory to connect knowledge, how could he find books so conveniently?

"Hello, Professor Baker, I really appreciate your school's generosity. Durmstrang's rich collection of books has given me a deep impression..."

Adams's voice sounded in front, and William quickly waved his hand at the hard-working quills - they stopped working without any hesitation, and then rolled up the parchment and flew into William's pocket.

Although the transcription was allowed by Durmstrang, considering the other party's mood, William decided that it was better not to let them see it.

"William, Professor Baker is looking for you!"

Adams sighed and shouted, William pretended to pick up a book and walked over without changing his face, "Ah, Professor Baker, hello."

‘It’s not like they discovered it, right? It shouldn’t be, the two children didn’t discover it themselves, right? ’

"Hello, Professor William, have you found the book you like?"

...In fact, you can add them.

"Well, the selection is dazzling. Your school's collection of books is indeed very rewarding."

"That's great." Professor Baker's face was full of sincerity, "But Professor William, I was very impressed by the test papers you assigned during the day - although it is a bit presumptuous, I still want to borrow them from your school. examination paper."

"Of course, I know that such a request is too presumptuous, so I discussed it with Professor McGonagall from your school. I am willing to pay fifty galleons for each set of papers. Professor McGonagall agreed to sell eight sets of high-quality papers. ——Of course, all these incomes will be given to you personally.”
