From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"No, this really can't be done."

William shook his head vigorously. He had returned from the Ministry of Magic, and of course he had not investigated anything useful.

Nonsense - if it is found out, it means that he and Dumbledore are locked in the same cell...

But the problem is, now, in front of him, in his office, Moody actually invited him to tell the seventh grade students what happened in the attack on the Ministry of Magic and how to avoid such a thing from happening.

The reason is very good - this matter is now the headlines in the wizarding world, and the content of the incident is also closely related to self-defense courses. In addition, Moody is unhappy with the embarrassing current Auror Office Director, so naturally he wants to break up the matter. Let’s talk.

As for the more profound meaning, there is no more. As long as Moody dabbles in this, he will be a stable director of the Auror Office, and he will not be retired and still just an ordinary squad leader.

"There is nothing wrong, Professor William," Moody's face full of scars was full of seriousness, "those guys were too proud, which led to such mistakes. We have to tell the students this."

He really loves the profession of Auror, and he is also the best among the Aurors - one-third of the felons in Azkaban were sent to Azkaban by him.

Even though he is retired now, he still cares about the training of Aurors and absorbing new blood, otherwise he would not take the initiative to take on the seventh-grade homework - you know, there are twins in this seventh-grade class...

"It still doesn't work. The Ministry of Magic's response this time is really bad..."

William shook his head and tried to use another excuse to refuse, "And the case is still under investigation. As a person assisting the investigation, I should not reveal some details, especially if it will affect the security work of the Ministry of Magic." It will definitely have an impact.”

"Don't worry about that. Those guys from the ministry gave me letters." Moody grinned a broken corner of his mouth, but the expression on his face was definitely not a smile. "The ministry asked for the current situation to be disclosed, although I don't know where they came from. I have the courage to speak out about such a shameful thing."

?

Did you make the incident public?

William was stunned for a moment - this was no ordinary trivial matter.

Although he did not contribute any help to the investigation, before he returned to school, based on the existing intelligence, the Ministry of Magic came to the conclusion that the same group of prisoners who had attacked Azkaban were in Umbridge (yes, William With the support of intelligence from the Ministry of Magic (who was extremely surprised when he heard this inference) and the defense loopholes deliberately left behind, the Ministry of Magic was successfully invaded.

Yes, that's right, the dead Umbridge provided the information, which is extremely outrageous - but when you think about it, it still makes some sense.

Without a traitor or something, how can the Ministry of Magic's protection be like this? Isn't it understandable that when an official as big as Umbridge is dismissed, he will be left with a lot of helpers?

"Just follow what the Ministry of Magic says and then add in the speculation about the case?"

William looked at Moody seriously - if he hadn't known that Mad-Eye had no talent in this area, he would have suspected that Moody was trying to tie Hogwarts to the Ministry of Magic's chariot.

The impact of being open and honest with students can be understood just by thinking about it.

"Yes, it just so happens that students no longer have doubts."

"I have to apply to the principal for this," William hesitated - it would be better to ask the principal for advice on this matter.

"Minerva?"

Moody rolled his magic eyes in confusion - Professor McGonagall wouldn't stop him, right?

"Dumbledore..."

——

"Really?"

In the principal's office, William looked at Dumbledore, even he felt a little bit embarrassed now.

"Let's talk, Fudge has sent another letter asking for help. He's a little stressed now."

Dumbledore also had a bit of embarrassment on his face - the pressure was not all due to Tom from across the ocean, but also to him.

The recruitment of troops by the Ministry of Magic during this period is not without cost. Recruiting strikers requires gold, assessment and training requires gold, and paying salaries is a pile of gold. Such a large budget can be justified.

After all, what happened in the magic world in the United States. With more thugs standing on the streets, the people will naturally feel more at ease, and it makes sense to spend money to buy peace of mind.

But the Ministry of Magic was attacked - what did you waste so much money on to improve?

The originally peaceful atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone even became somewhat distrustful of the Ministry of Magic.

If even the headquarters is attacked, can we really expect the combat effectiveness of the attackers?

"It was always coming, but now is not the time..."

William sighed, the Dark Lord was ready to move, and the false peace at the moment could not last long, "Then I will try my best to say something nice for the Ministry of Magic - and to be honest, if I hadn't figured out the rules of Aurors , we actually haven’t sneaked in that easily.”

"By the way," William was just about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and turned around, "Just that box, what's inside?"

"No Horcruxes."

Dumbledore shook his head, "But there are a lot of scary things."

He stared at William with a little bit of shame in his eyes, "I'm sorry, the fewer people know about the contents, the better. At least until the battle is over, I won't let anyone know the contents."

When you say that, I probably know what's inside...

But even so, William pretended not to know anything, said goodbye to Dumbledore, and left the principal's office.

——

"Did you hear that?"

"How could you not have heard of it? That's really..."

The seventh-grade classroom is as lively as ever—the closer it gets to graduation, the more lively everyone is talking.

After living in Hogwarts for seven years, although everyone was a little bit reluctant to let go, this reluctance was completely suppressed by the novelty brought by the huge magical world outside.

Jobs, upcoming salaries, flowers and plants in the magical world, no more professors shouting for classes, no more professors deducting points - they live a promising life every day.

Under the filter of this thing called hope, even the attack case just encountered by the Ministry of Magic is not so terrifying.

Except for the students who had already confirmed their internship at the Ministry of Magic, everyone was curious about the so-called truth - especially when no one was killed in the attack, which made everyone talk without restraint.

‘Crunch…’

The partially hidden door was suddenly pushed open, and the students who were chatting enthusiastically were stunned - Professor Moody did have a magic eye, but he didn't hide his footsteps very much in the castle. It was easy for everyone to You can predict his coming.

But today?

However, when William's face appeared at the door of the classroom, everyone took a breath of air-conditioning. The previous cheerful atmosphere was no longer there. Everyone became serious. Some people even brought their schoolbags with them when they hurriedly took out their books. Go up to the ground.

There is no other way. This year's graduates have been led by Moody since fifth grade, and they still haven't eliminated their fear of self-defense professors.

"good afternoon everyone."

William looked at the panicked students with a smile, not surprised at all, "Today, at the invitation of Professor Moody, I came to take this self-defense course."

"Well, everyone, put away your paper and pens. No notes are allowed in this class."

As soon as this order was given, all the students cheered inwardly - it doesn't matter if you don't take notes, the key is not to touch paper and pen!

"Two students will come and cooperate."

William looked around and finally caught the most conspicuous couple in the crowd.

Anyway, these two guys are likely to cause trouble wherever they are placed, so it would be better to catch them and put them under your nose.

The twins who were pointed out were stunned for a moment - what trick was the professor planning to play again?

With anxiety in their hearts, the two people walked onto the podium.

"Come, you stand on that side, you stand on the other side."

William asked the two of them to stand still, then took out some wooden strips from the bag, and used the transformation technique to control them to form a large frame on the blackboard.

"Hold it, wait until I tell you to let it go."

He instructed the twins while taking out a small bag of sand mixed with magic potion.

"Notice!"

As he spoke, William took out a handful of sand, used the power of transformation and potions to fix it in the frame, then crazily used the copy spell to fill the frame with sand, and then used magic to freeze it.

After roughly completing a partial topographic map, William waved his stick and fixed it in front of the blackboard before letting the twins put down their hands.

"Let's take a rough look - of course, what I'm saying in advance here is that this is not a real map of the streets near the Ministry of Magic. It has been slightly modified both internally and externally."

It's okay to talk about invasion, but William has no plans to send students to Azkaban yet.

His left hand moved dexterously, and soon he roughly shaped the streets near the Ministry of Magic from the surface sand.

"I know that everyone is actually very concerned about the attack on the Ministry of Magic during this period,"

He spread his hands, "This is normal, it's no big deal - I'm honored that I'm somewhat familiar with the whole case, so I was called over by Professor Moody to explain to you the situation that was deduced."

"It sounds a bit like taking advantage of the fun - but it is, because that's what work is presumed to be like."

William took out his wand and started the last step of coloring, "In fact, this is a very subtle and bold enough attempt."

"First of all, what I want to tell you is that this attack was just like the things you have heard. It was carried out at noon or almost afternoon. Who knows why it was at this time?"

A Ravenclaw raised his hand, "It should be what you said before. People's vigilance is the weakest at noon during the day. Many people think that nothing will happen because it is dawn."

"Correct answer, two points for Ravenclaw."

William nodded, "Yes, during the day, after lunch is the most vulnerable time to be attacked."

He knocked with his left hand, and a group of small black dots appeared on the sand table. They were densely packed and looked like there were a lot of people. This was the official news that William had received...

"First of all, according to the available intelligence, before the invasion plan of the Ministry of Magic, the prisoners carried out a lot of inspection work, which paved the way for their later actions."

"Professor, shouldn't there be a traitor or someone leaking information?"

Just as William was about to drop the topic, the students below started to make a fuss - Moody's courses were a bit disordered, and he had led many students astray in the past two years.

'Nonsense, you can't talk about it. Umbridge should have gotten used to this potboiler long ago...'

"Of course, this is part of the possible reason, but I can't be sure."

William smiled and changed the subject, "In any case, they knocked down the appropriate drawings at that time, and then mixed them into the Ministry of Magic in a special way - you won't let me talk about the specific details, right?"

"Attention, help, get seven red dots, Fred."

"Yes, what you see is the protective power at that time." William pointed at the red dot, "Because the Aurors and strikers are out, the Ministry of Magic has completely lost the ability to resist at this moment - of course, you Don’t try it, the loophole is patched.”

"The leader of the real murderers was an extremely smart guy. He obtained some magical things from the information left by former Deputy Minister Umbridge, and then tried to forcefully break into the Ministry of Magic to get the rest - unfortunately, he It worked."

"Success?"

The students were shocked. They didn't expect this result at all - originally they thought it was nothing, but now it seems that the matter is bigger than they thought?

"Yes, it was successful. The people from the Ministry of Magic arranged too little."

William spread his hands, "The strikers all went to important locations to protect the market. The Ministry of Magic's protection was not as high as before at that time."

Of course, there is also a reason why Azkaban has sent more manpower - although according to the current situation, no one can save them at all.

…

"get out of class is over!"

When William announced that get out of class was over, he felt a little guilty.

"get out of class is finally over..."

William felt that his back was covered in cold sweat - he almost died on the podium!

Are you kidding me? Why do so many tricky people appear in these seventh-grade questions at once?

If he hadn't made up the lie in advance, he would have been questioned.

This was the first time he was so nervous since he came to the podium!

'If you don't take this kind of job anymore, you can either fight against the Ministry of Magic or clean up the ground for the Ministry of Magic...'

He wiped away the non-existent cold sweat and decided to go back and prepare the lesson again - no, this lesson was too bad, it was a waste of students' time, and they had to make up a set of high-quality papers for the seventh grade!

——

"I feel like something is not right about this class. The professor's lecture is dry..."

"Yeah, he's clueless, like he's being threatened."

"It's not at the same level as before."

…

The students discussed it a lot, and finally found that the matter probably had a strong relationship with the course content.

After all, the Ministry of Magic was attacked - some students are now thinking that this job is indeed not that good.

After some discussion, everyone came to the final conclusion.

Yes, the professor must have been threatened by Fudge!
