From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Ah sneeze!"

William sneezed loudly.

‘Who is talking about me? ’

He muttered as he dragged the broom out of the cold lake water - the floating spell allowed him to leave the lake easily, avoiding the embarrassment of a muddy swim.

Controlling himself to float slowly towards the lake shore, William held a wand in one hand and a broom in the other, floating about one meter above the black lake. From a distance, it looked like he was flying through the air - if you didn't look closely.

"If you want to be distinguished in front of others, you must suffer behind others." ’

While admonishing himself, William tried his best to ignore the dripping clothes and broom. He was extremely glad that there were no professors or students following him.

But the constant dripping of water on the water surface attracted the attention of aquatic creatures. A huge bass stuck its head out and looked at the water surface - were there any small flying insects that accidentally flew into the water?

When William felt some fluctuations in the water, a man and a fish just happened to meet his eyes.

ten minutes later.

On the shore of the Black Lake, William made a cozy fire.

‘Magic is really convenient. There is obviously no fuel, but it is so easy to light such a strong fire. ’

Although the robe had been cleaned by magic, but whether it was due to psychological factors, William still felt that being heated by the fire made him feel better.

"Speaking of which, even after soaking in water, no water seeped in. The broomstick is really strictly made. I think it will be able to continue flying in a while."

While muttering to himself, William turned the broomstick over to let it dry more evenly.

Turning his head, William looked at the skewered bass and became entangled.

"Should you call Bart over?"

Bart is the house elf of Hogwarts. Although he is nominally affiliated with the school, he spends most of his time serving William, which is considered one of the benefits arranged by the school for professors.

The house elf could easily shout at this distance. Although William had packed up the fish and skewered it, but now he didn't even have any salt. Bart could easily deliver the needed spices - but in that case, William would lose The problem of water intrusion cannot be covered up.

After all, the broomstick isn't dry yet.

'Wait a minute, although I flew the broom too high and lost control and took the initiative to get into the lake, but it is obviously difficult to explain. '

Because of the professor's dignity, William felt that he could let the fish wait.

——

When William felt that the broom was almost dry, a voice suddenly rang.

"You skipped class too?"

What do you mean?

Also, my reputation among students is no longer high. Can you students who have violated disciplines go to Mr. Filch and report it yourself instead of coming over to destroy the good relationship between me and the students?

While William was complaining, he turned around to see which unlucky kid was so blind that he could skip classes and come to the professor's place.

However, this was one of the few times when he was shaken. When he turned around and found that no one immediately pulled out the wand, he realized that the person who spoke was already in a daze holding the skewered bass.

She is not tall, she must be a freshman. At this moment, the little girl is staring at his bass with a sad expression.

‘You’ve made friends with fish, right? ’

A strange thought suddenly came to William's mind - when he was preparing lessons yesterday, he knew that some people can communicate with specific magical creatures. Although this bass seems to have nothing to do with magical creatures, who can say about magic? How accurate is it?

"Are you going to bake it?"

'I'm not dead yet. I just had my intestines ruptured. If I use precious magic medicine, I can still survive——'

This idea immediately came to William's mind - he used ordinary methods to kill fish, and if he was not harmed by black magic or special magical creatures, any missing limb would be a big problem, but it was only a problem that could be solved. .

Although it's a shame to waste it on a fish, it's not bad to save a freshman friend - he is a professor after all.

"This is sea bass! It needs to be steamed!"

Click——

William obviously heard some breaking noise.

Before he could react, the first-year student in front of him quickly took out a pot, knife, chopping board, various seasonings, and finally a chef's hat and apron from a small bag.

‘That bag is full of kitchen utensils? ’

When William was surprised that this new student was a New Oriental transfer student from Hogwarts, the new student had already set up the pot, started to change the knife for the sea bass, poured salt on it and marinated it.

"Hufflepuff, fourth year, Selma Leung."

fourth grade?

William looked at the other person's height and shook his head invisibly.

Also, are you sure you are not a Gryffindor student because you skipped class to blame the professor? None of their students are so courageous!

In addition, I finally showed up at the opening ceremony. I dare not say that I hang out in the cafeteria again and again. At least twice a day is no problem. It has been a week, girl, how did you not recognize me until now?

Probably because she didn't hear William's reply, she raised her head curiously and glanced quickly at the broomstick.

"Are you from Ravenclaw? Sixth grade? Fifth grade? It's not impossible that you're in seventh grade. I know everyone from Hufflepuff. Gryffindor only added new players from the lower grades last year. Only Ravenclaw That’s why I’m skipping school these days to practice flying, waiting for the academy team to recruit new students.”

She didn't say Slytherin - because most people in Slytherin are better off in the lower grades, and the upper grades don't talk to other houses.

"The water is boiling. It's been almost ten minutes. It's ready to be steamed."

Without waiting for William's reply, she began to stuff the fish with ingredients, including ginger and garlic, and then covered it with a layer of green onions before putting it in the pot.

"There's nothing wrong with liking Quidditch. Practicing secretly is also a sign of hard work. Look at me, I like cooking so I went to Hufflepuff. I studied the menu for a long time and now I can't help but want to try it when I see the good ingredients - So, there’s nothing wrong with me taking half, right?”

"As it should be."

William nodded affirmatively - he only knew how to grill fish, but he really didn't know how to make fish delicious.

"As expected, it's easy to talk to Ravenclaw students."

She sounded like an adult, and now she looked like a fourth-grade student - no matter how old she is, she calls herself a baby.

Seeing how familiar the girl was, William couldn't bear to let her see what it meant to be beaten by society.

But soon she swelled up - and as the bass was brought out of the pot, she couldn't suppress the pride on her face.

"Now it's just the fish from Black Lake. Before I graduate, I must grill the octopus from Black Lake! Even if it only has one leg!"

It is a valuable asset of the school and saves countless people from drowning every year!

Why do you want to give me a reason to confine you?
