From Azkaban To Hogwarts

Filch was half leaning on the hospital bed. His clothes were full of holes scratched out of wood and glass. His face was pale because he had just gotten up too quickly and touched the newly healed wound. Coupled with the sweat coming out from the pain, he looked miserable. Incomparable.

But this does not affect his anger that is about to reach the sky.

"It must be dealt with, it must be dealt with, I have to see Dumbledore! I have to expel them!"

Filch's angry roar filled the entire hospital. If he hadn't personally caused Filch serious injuries, William would have even suspected that the person he just met was not the Filch in front of him.

"Mr. Filch, calm down. The most important thing right now is not to settle the score with the twins, but to take good care of your health. You were seriously injured just now. If you don't take a good rest for a while, what will you do if you get sick?"

The two professors who came with William to find someone carefully persuaded them. They also felt that the Weasley brothers were a bit too much.

"In mid-air in the castle, more than ten meters high, I was petrified, with just one leg hooked to the window sill - they were committing murder!"

Filch couldn't calm down at all, and he couldn't get rid of his anger at all.

"Expelled, expelled, must be expelled, these two want to murder me!"

"Okay, okay, expulsion. We will go to Professor Dumbledore to discuss it. Don't be angry. Recuperate first. After you recover from the injury, we will go to the principal, Professor McGonagall, and the couple." Trouble with the twins.”

Seeing that they could no longer persuade him, the two professors had no choice but to follow Filch's tone and coax him first, asking him to drink medicine and rest while waiting for his injury to recover.

As for William - as the direct cause of Filch's injury, he was really embarrassed to say anything and kept silently pretending to be transparent.

Fortunately, there were professionals like Madam Pomfrey in the hospital. She gave Filch some potion and put him to sleep - it should be the water of life and death.

"Poor Filch," Madam Pomfrey shook her head. "The injuries on his body are not serious, but he was frightened. Let him have a good sleep."

"Approximately how long will it take?"

"I'm afraid he'll have to sleep all day," Madam Pomfrey put away the vial. "Hang the caretaker on the castle - this is the first time I've heard that in all my years at Hogwarts."

…

After chatting with Madam Pomfrey for a while, the professional school nurse vaguely began to drive people away. William and the other three professors quickly said goodbye and left - they still had to go to Professor McGonagall's place. Hanging up the castle facade is no small feat for the caretaker.

"Professor William, how do you report this——"

Not long after they left the school hospital, the two professors who were traveling with them began to complain, "The Weasley brothers are being manipulated, let alone Hogwarts, just watching the Wizengamot. The crimes he committed while being controlled are not valid. He is being held in solitary confinement, so how can he be expelled?"

"It's hard to explain why Filch is not fired - he was hung on the outer wall of the castle for more than half an hour and was still under a petrification spell. If the twins were not controlled, they would be in Azkaban!" "

It's true, murder with intent is a serious crime, especially murder.

"Report it to the school and listen to the school's explanation. Filch will try to persuade him - it may not be the case on us yet," William shook his head, "Anyway, I don't know much about school rules and punishments, so just do whatever it takes." .”

——

When the three of them hurried to Professor McGonagall's office, there were more professors than they thought, including Dumbledore himself, not to mention the four deans.

Professor McGonagall's office was expanded four or five times by magic and was still crowded with professors.

"Professor William, Professor Campbell, Professor Hall, you are here."

Dumbledore greeted William and the others kindly, "How is Filch's injury?"

"The injury has almost been treated, but Madam Pomfrey said that he was too stimulated, so he needs to rest for a day to recover."

William was embarrassed to say it, so the professor next to him responded.

"Rare good news, this shows that we did not lose much in this turmoil -" Dumbledore nodded and looked at William again, "Professor William, use the beautiful flying spell - otherwise Fei will be unlucky. Erqi has to wait until the students find out before he can get out of the predicament."

William was a little embarrassed when he said this... To be honest, if it weren't for his Flying Curse, a single Petrification Curse wouldn't have resulted in hospitalization...

"Come and help, our self-defense magic professor," Dumbledore smiled. "You can't think that Severus has done everything. There are so many memories that need to be explored."

"Professor Dumbledore, I haven't done any in-depth research on memory magic, I've just mastered it."

The matter was important, and although it was a bit embarrassing, William still admitted it.

"It's not a good thing to be too modest, Professor William." Dumbledore didn't care at all. "Severus can't accomplish that much work by himself."

After saying this, William really couldn't refuse - at any rate, he had seen the entire theory and remembered it very clearly. If he worked slowly and carefully, there would definitely be no problems.

"I guess that's not necessary now, Albus."

Just as William was trying to repeat the key points in the book he had read in his mind, Professor Snape, who was operating the pensieve, raised his head.

"The work is much simpler than I thought - all the memories of these three students after wearing the crown disappeared, completely erased, except for the memory of being controlled and then starting to attack people."

"So they are controlled, Professor Snape?"

The professors present asked questions.

"It should be... they were under control and did something like this attack."

Although he was stating the facts, William could hear that he was obviously unhappy - it was obvious that Professor Snape was not too satisfied with the result.

Also, these three students are all from Gryffindor. As far as Professor Snape's attitude towards Gryffindor, there is almost no doubt that this result made him unhappy.

"Very well, Severus," Dumbledore's voice sounded again, "Then the situation is very clear. Miss Granger and the Weasley brothers were both controlled before they carried out indiscriminate attacks. .”

"So, according to school rules, these three children will not be expelled, but will continue their study life after the confinement - of course, this will be after the three of them are discharged from the hospital."

Dumbledore's tone was quite gentle, "At the same time, the professors who conducted the experiments can stay. We need to review your memories during this period to ensure that this kind of thing will not happen again."

There was silence, but no one raised any objection.

Only now did William understand why there were so many professors here.

Even in the magical world where memory magic management is chaotic, personal memory is the highest level of privacy and cannot be peeped by others. More than half of the reference books obtained by William mentioned the memory management magic of Occlumency.

Although it was quite slow to practice on his own, this magic William never stopped like the transfiguration. This was one of the reasons why he dared to take on Dumbledore's task just now.

'If it hadn't come out like this, I guess some of the professors would still hesitate - after all, this is different from an experiment. This month's life has to be exposed a little bit for investigation...'

"Okay, professors who have not participated in the experiment, please disperse. The remaining professors can prepare to extract their memories. I'm sorry, but we have no better way."

The professors withdrew one after another, leaving only a group of professors who William had seen participating in the experiment.

——

"Sorry, Dumbledore, can I just let you or Professor Severus check it?"

Some of the remaining professors asked hesitantly.

Before Dumbledore could respond, William quickly answered, "Of course, Professor, to be honest, I'm not very sure. If there is really any problem, I probably won't be able to find anything strange. After all, I study This is not the direction.”

He knew quite a bit about it - veteran professors and deans like Snape just looked at it, and those professors felt guilty at least. How could he, a new professor, still hang out in school after reading his memories?

As a professor who planned to stay at Hogwarts until he killed the Dark Lord, William valued the relationship between colleagues.

He wouldn't be happy if it were him - the newcomer wants to see my memory, what are you thinking?

"Okay," Dumbledore agreed after thinking for a moment, and then looked at William, "Professor William, can you go out with me for a walk?"

"Of course, Professor."

The two quickly left Professor McGonagall's office and started walking in the corridor.

"Professor William," Dumbledore walked casually, "What do you think of today's events?"

"It must be the sequelae of the crown. We never noticed it, but at that time it planted a hint or something -"

William thought of hypnosis - saying a keyword or a situation can control the person.

After all, the soul-stealing curse in black magic can easily do this. If an expert develops a variant, it is theoretically not impossible to make the control effect latent.

"Like what you first guessed?"

Dumbledore smiled and said, "Honestly, it's really difficult to find out the locations of so many professors. You have to know, this is a rare sunny weekend, and there aren't even many professors in the staff lounge."

"Yeah, this opportunity is perfect. The senior students go to Hogmogg, and the professors have weekends off. Otherwise, they would be caught soon after fighting Filch at the level of the Weasley brothers. It didn’t take that long.”

"So, as you guessed at first, it's alive?"

Dumbledore walked slowly.

"Yes, if you hold back and hold back, once you gain momentum, it's like something out of a novel. Is the Sorting Hat as smart as it is?"

William sighed, this method of controlling the explosion was so accurate, it was worthy of being left behind by Ravenclaw.

"The Sorting Hat won't be happy, it always thinks it's the smartest hat in the world - maybe I should let it stay with the diadem?"

Dumbledore joked, but quickly rejected it himself, "This is not a good idea, Professor William. You should advise me. Next year, students will have to be sorted into different houses. If the freshmen lose their memories again, it will be me." responsibility."

This cold joke made William couldn't help but think about it.

Crown vs Sorting Hat - What magical scene is this?

"I think you have already figured it out, Professor William. I used you to force the other professors."

"Yes, but if you really want me to watch it, I don't think I need to go to the lounge for the rest of the time."

William responded with a smile, "It always has to be found out. The Weasley brothers alone were able to knock Filch down. If it were someone else who attacked him secretly, I can't even imagine it."

Not to mention others, Percy Weasley, who was recommended by William, was number one in the sixth grade and had magic power close to that of an adult wizard. If he lost control and started messing around with the people around him, it would be unimaginable what would happen - you know, Percy is a super wizard. Captain, if he knocks down the prefects immediately, the school will fall into chaos... The professor alone cannot control the chaos among the students.

"Well, as long as you understand, Professor William, would you like some candy?"

"certainly."

William now wanted to eat some peppermints to calm down his shock - although the matter was over, but not to mention others, Filch being hung on the castle scared him enough.

"Okay, I want honey candies," Dumbledore stretched out his hand and looked at William with a smile.

William looked at Dumbledore and then at himself before realizing that Dumbledore was pointing at his bag.

"Then, brothers Weasley and Miss Granger, I leave it to you, Professor William."

Dumbledore, who got the candy, smiled and waved his hand, "I have to find Minerva to discuss how to deal with today's affairs. You must know that the Daily Prophet always likes to find some big news——"

——

"professor?"

The Weasley brothers were floating in the air, with only their mouths moving. Opposite them, Hermione Granger was also wrapped in bandages and floating in the air.

"Well, I'm here. Do you have anything to say?"

William held a mint in his mouth and spoke in a relaxed tone.

"We've already checked it out. It really wasn't us. We even arrested Ginny -"

"Well, that's right, so the confinement has been canceled for you, right?" William went up the stairs and balanced the three of them with his wand. "Look, although you have lost your memories, the subsequent confinement has passed, right?"

"That makes sense, Professor. But why are we still tied up now?"

"Hospitalized for observation, kid." William responded, "There will still be confinement waiting for you after you are discharged from the hospital. At present, it will be at least two months, one of which will require cleaning the toilet, but I won't confirm whether it will be increased in the future or how much. ——After all, you even attacked Mr. Filch, which is a serious violation of discipline."

"Oh my god, cool!"

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, making William, who was walking hard, very angry - are these two bastards really not taking things seriously?

"What about Hermione, what mistake did she make?"

The two asked with a smile, completely ignoring the fact that they were tied up. Apparently they felt that this was the price for attacking Filch.

"she?"

William glanced at the quiet girl in the sky. Although he had already heard about it, he couldn't help but take a breath when he said it now, "Half the girls in the same grade were hung up by her on the toilet. Now those kids haven't Comfort yourself..."
