From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"How does it feel, Adams?"

As Adams took the crown off his head, William pointed his wand firmly at him and asked loudly.

“Better than ever, William—” Adams responded with a smile, “I don’t think I could be any better.”

"That's very good," Dumbledore answered gently, "Professor Adams, are you ready?"

"Now that it's done, can I get my wand?"

"Okay, put the extracted memories over there, Professor Adams."

Adams slowly picked up the wand, and then extracted the memory from his mind - things that were discussed before the experiment. This is the most effective detection method to prevent being controlled by the crown.

William stared at Adams' movements with all his attention. If something went wrong with Adams, he would not hesitate to cast a coma spell on Adams.

But nothing unexpected happened. After extracting the memory, Adams quickly put down his wand, and Professor Snape, who was in charge of the test, quickly stepped forward and began to process and interpret the memory in the pensieve.

'I still have a lot to learn, but I have to do it one by one -' William glanced at Professor Snape with his peripheral vision and couldn't help but think of it, but the wand in his hand was not slack at all, and it was firm. stared at Adams.

Finally, Professor Snape made a safe gesture after confirming again and again.

"Very well, Professor Adams, please stand on the other side of the room and wait for a while to observe. If there are no problems by night, you can touch your wand."

"No problem, Professor McGonagall, can you give me some paper and pen? I just had some wonderful ideas!"

Adams was so happy that he almost couldn't smile from ear to ear. It seemed that in just a short time after wearing the crown, he had successfully solved at least one problem that had been bothering him for a long time.

'This should be the so-called crown that gives people extraordinary wisdom, but it shouldn't be so magical every time. Whether it's Adams or Professor Kettleburn, they all have accumulated it for a long time, like water in a river. The accumulation on the embankment was getting high, and suddenly the crown opened a breach, and then it broke through the solid embankment out of control. ’

'However, even so, the effect of this crown is very scary - extraordinary wisdom, is there anything more precious to a wizard than this? ’

At this moment, Dumbledore has already started to prepare the next professor. It seems that he has no intention of letting the students start testing before all professors have checked the safety.

The testing work continued in an orderly manner, and until the last professor finished the test, there were still no problems.

The professors who had their wands removed had no worries about being disarmed, and happily shared the quills in Professor McGonagall's office, because they even started to directly harm the phoenix feathers in Professor McGonagall's collection because there were not enough pens.

"Minerva, Fawkes is still losing his hair anyway, Dumbledore won't be stingy!"

The professors said this while grabbing ink.

The professors were very happy that the problem was solved, but William, the four professors who were staring at them, and Dumbledore had no smiles on their faces.

It was a sure thing that the diadem would be enchanted, and it was not a wise idea to bet on the bomb not exploding.

Compared to professors, student experiments are more dangerous and they have a lower perception of the dangers of crowns.

"Professor, may I ask again?"

William looked at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore nodded and asked the others to temporarily put down their wands and take a rest - except for William, the remaining professors were all very young and would not be able to capture their attention without resting under intense surveillance.

While the professors were resting, William walked up to the students.

"Professors have finished all the tests. We are pretty sure there is something wrong with the crown, but after testing it so many times now, we still haven't found any problems-"

William stared at them, "I'm asking you for the last time. If any of you want to give up, you can bring it up now. Knowing when to give up is a virtue."

The three Gryffindors brought by William, one Gryffindor brought by Professor McGonagall, and two Ravenclaws brought by Professor Flitwick after discussing with William shook their heads - obviously None of these people are willing to give up.

"Okay, let's start with you, Percy," William pointed at Percy, "You are the prefect, and with power you have to bear responsibilities. You come first."

Percy stepped forward with excitement on his face, but William grabbed his clothes by the back of his neck.

"Stop, calm down! Otherwise you will be disqualified!" William shouted sternly, "Think about what you want to do with that wisdom, what problems you want to solve, and don't let your thoughts fly everywhere!"

"Yes, Professor!"

Percy was so frightened that his tone changed.

"Put down the wand, go over there, stabilize your mind, and prepare for the test!"

"Yes, Professor!"

Under William's stern scolding, Percy slowly walked over, carefully picked up the crown, and put it on his head.

"A magical creature recognizes you (Awe) and you receive a treasure chest."

Who wants to consider drawing cards at this time?

William was not even paying attention, staring closely at Percy's face - unlike those professors, Percy's face showed an unconcealable joy, as if he had won a prize.

'there is a problem? ’

William's hand holding the wand tightened slightly, preparing to cast the spell if something went wrong.

"A magical creature recognizes you (worships) and you gain a treasure chest."

William simply ignored the reminder and kept his eyes on Percy.

But Percy quickly took off the crown safely. Although his face was filled with uncontrollable joy, he was not under control.

"How does it feel, Percy?"

William asked, staring into Percy's eyes.

"Very well, Professor, I even thought of a new spell!"

Percy's tone was higher.

"Very good, slowly pick up your wand and extract the memory for Professor Snape to test!"

William felt a little guilty when he said this - the test had been carried out for a long time, and the only memory tester was Snape. Although Professor Snape was indeed very good at playing, he seemed really tired now.

Soon, Percy's test report came out and it was safe.

"Next," William looked at the crown and shouted behind him, "that fellow Ravenclaw sixth grader, come here for the test."

That child is not his student, although this year's entrance level is the lowest...

"Yes, Professor."

"Relax, like Percy, think about what you're going to do with your wits - go ahead."

The second student finished the test quickly, then the next one, and the next one, until the last one, Hermione, finished the test without any problems in the memory test.

——

After a period of observation and testing of some logical problems, the professors and students who participated in the test left Professor McGonagall's office, leaving William and the others behind.

'How did Ginny trigger the protective magic on the crown? She was just a first-year student, and Hermione, the youngest student who came for the test, was only a second-year student, so her magic wouldn't be too far behind. Why was only Ginny triggering the magic above? ’

William stared at the crown, his thoughts racing.

But it was no use - he was not the only wizard who was stumped, but also other professors in the office.

"A magical creature recognizes you and gets a treasure chest x1."

Suddenly another prompt interrupted William's thinking state - he had no idea anyway, so let's open a card.

[Financial Genius Price Smith (R): Well, this should go up, this should go down, or so, who knows why?

Strong luck; tear up this card, and you will have super luck within the next hour. ——A master relies on calculation, and a genius relies on intuition. 】

Then there were two low-probability cards that William had seen in Azkaban that didn't even have levels - William decisively chose the only card that wasn't so useless.

‘Is this the Ravenclaw who just came for testing? Why is there such a big gap between students? ’

‘There are two more boxes. Do you want to tear up the cards and then draw the box? ’——This thought instantly appeared in William’s mind.

This was not because he was extravagant, but because Adams was very happy to say that he had solved a lot of problems this time before he returned, so he would give him a bottle of Felixir later.

The effects of newly acquired cards can be replaced by potions, so he naturally can't cherish them.

‘Forget it, at least you can control the amount of the Spiritual Elixir. Two boxes are enough, and one sip is enough. You can smoke it when you go back, so you don’t have to be so extravagant. ’

In the end, William felt distressed.

‘Wait, luxury? ’

'What kind of luxury is this for me? That crown is the real luxury. Using Ravenclaw's treasures to unleash dark magic - is there anything more luxurious than this? ’

'The opponent is so much stronger than me. He is definitely not a fool. He practices magic very rigorously. A fool may have such powerful magic that ordinary people can't catch his spells, but there is no way he can complete such exquisite magic...'

'If this is a targeted trap, then a wizard like me is definitely not the opponent's target. If you use this crown as a reward to kill me, I'm afraid you will have enough to kill me ten times...'

'The only person in the British wizarding world who is worthy of killing with a crown is probably Dumbledore. ’

'wrong! ’ William interrupted his thoughts, ‘If it is aimed at Dumbledore, then this thing will not be triggered by Ginny at all, unless it is sent here on purpose. What Ginny triggers is not the crown. ’

'That's not right - if Ginny triggers it, we will definitely check the crown carefully. The person who set the trap can't be so stupid, using such a precious crown to gamble on such a fictitious thing. If it is found out, the loss will be too great. . ’

‘So, will the crown, like the novel about cultivating immortals, have a weapon spirit? That weapon spirit was an evil being, but not very intelligent. He tempted the weak Ginny to kill the rooster, but he was intimidated by the crowd and didn't dare to take action? ’

After all, it is a thousand-year-old artifact, so it is understandable that it will become a spirit.

William boldly expressed his guess, "Professor Dumbledore, do you think the crown is alive? Can it sense whether there is any danger around it and then take action?"

"Interesting guess, Professor William, please go on."

"You see, there is a Sorting Hat at Hogwarts. It can sing, speak, communicate with others, and can even read people's thoughts. It is Gryffindor's hat, but Ravenclaw's crown is not bad either. ,Is it right?"

"Of course, Ravenclaw's crown is a symbol of wisdom!"

Professor Flitwick rarely interrupted. It seemed that his resentment towards the crown was not as deep as usual.

"So, the crown may also have given birth to a soul, but it's not that smart, or even evil."

"How can it be!"

Professor Flitwick complained.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that the crown was evil," William apologized to Professor Flitwick, "I meant that the crown of wisdom that had just been born might have been corrupted by its previous owner. After all, you told me..."

William looked at Dumbledore, but did not say the next words - he was afraid that all the professors present would be cursed, and half of Hogwarts would be destroyed.

"A rather bold inference, Professor William."

"But it's just an inference, Professor," William simply said another bold guess of his, "I have an even more outrageous idea. Maybe it's not alive, but a trap for you. In Hogwarts , the only person worth using it to set up a trap against is you."

Because the speculation was too shocking, William simply used honorifics.

"You really overestimate me, Professor William," Dumbledore shook his head, "I am just an old man who is lucky enough to be standing at a high place."

‘We have to add the prefix of being more capable of fighting and having the first level of magic…’

William said nothing and complained in his heart.

"Okay, everyone is tired today. Go back and rest. The crown will continue to be kept in my office. Severus, please put it in the box." Dumbledore pointed to the transparent box, " I think we do need to be a little more wary of it.”

——

‘After a busy day, I finally returned to my office, Quidditch, the visit of the Minister of Magic, the crown test——’ William lay on the bed without taking off his robe, spreading himself out into a Chinese character, feeling extremely comfortable.

‘Take a break before checking the information. It’s easy to miss things in this state...’

He stretched and listened to the tapping outside the window.

‘It’s quite rhythmic? ’

But William soon realized something was wrong. He quickly opened the window and let in the two knocking prisoners - two owls.

One of them was already getting angry, jumping up and down on the table, staring at his fingers, looking as if he wanted to peck him.

"Okay, okay, I just came back," William dug out two packages of owl food and waved his wand to summon two small plates, "Eat, eat, and give me the letter."

The first letter was in the package, a small note.

"William, I couldn't wait to do the experiment. You didn't come back, so I asked an owl to give it to you - Adams."

In the small package behind the note, wrapped in thick cotton and cloth, was the elixir that Adams promised William.

The bottle was full of golden potion. Although it was only a small bottle, it looked much more attractive than a bag of galleons.

‘As a former potion pharmacist, you actually want to use the herbalist’s elixir. William, you have fallen! ’

After condemning himself, William opened the drawer and began to find a place for this precious bottle of potion - he knew his stuff, this thing was really worth more than a bag of galleons!
