From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"I always feel that this spring break is too dull."

Easter and spring break are coming, and William, who is suddenly free, doesn't even know what to do.

The test papers have already been released before the OWLs exam, and there is no better idea for preparing lessons for the time being. He cursed that if he studies it for a long time, it will affect his mentality like black magic. All the herbs used for the study have not yet arrived - for a moment, he didn't know You should do something yourself.

‘Take advantage of the holiday to restart the investigation that was delayed due to the basilisk——’ Looking through his memo, William finally found some work for himself.

Although the information stolen from Professor Snape is still waiting for the curse to be perfected, the information found from the Slytherin lounge is still a bit unclear - the specific location of the Dark Lord and his first generation of Death Eaters is where?

This matter was temporarily put on hold due to the activities of the basilisk, but it would not be difficult to pick it up again.

‘It can’t be a secret room anyway——’

The spring sunshine filtered in through the glass window, creating beautiful and bright patterns on William's desk that made people want to lie down on it and fall asleep.

'If so many people knew about the secret room, then the secret of the secret room would have been exposed long ago, so it must be in a less hidden location...'

"yawn--"

William covered his mouth and couldn't help but want to keep a cat next to him.

"There seems to be such a place... Isn't the diadem placed there? It was also where Lockhart obtained the book said to be left behind by Dumbledore himself..."

'By the way, I don't know what happened to Dumbledore's research on his own diary...'

Such thoughts emerged and were suppressed by William - the Basilisk was able to stop the investigation because a student was hurt, and it was not his style to change the subject of the investigation without any reason.

"Then let's go over there and have a look."

——

‘Unknown place where things are hidden. ’

Opposite the tapestry on the eighth floor of the castle where the troll beats silly Barnabas - this is what Lockhart said.

William was very confident in his Veritaserum, and if Lockhart could still lie to him in that state, he would accept his fate.

"Lockhart said that after investigating Ginny's itinerary, he found something unusual. He did not believe that there was nothing else where the diadem was hidden..."

Although he felt disdainful of Lockhart's behavior, William still quite recognized the 'former explorer''s ability to find secrets, and he was also capable of finding out those wonderful stories - including the leak of picking up Ginny this time.

'But those Weasley brothers...' William gritted his teeth - it was true that the two handed over Ginny and the diadem at that time, but they completely concealed the secret room where Ginny was captured...

Because the crown was so amazing and the loss of memory was so outrageous, he completely forgot to look up where Ginny had been found!

"Things will get chaotic if they get too much... William, you are still not careful enough with Weasley!"

Following Lockhart's instructions, William started walking - concentrating on thinking that I was going to where Ginny was hiding her things, and after walking through that section of wall three times, a very smooth door would appear on the wall.

'I feel like this method shouldn't involve adding Ginny...'

William suddenly lost his mind and had to think again while walking without trying to add, delete or delete words.

"I'm going to where Ginny hides her stuff..."

…

The three times passed quickly, and William stared at the wall, expecting the door to appear.

However, there was nothing.

He didn't believe in evil, so he did it again - but still nothing weird happened.

"The Veritaserum has failed! Lockhart is a liar. He tricked me!"

Such thoughts immediately appeared in William's mind, and he almost immediately made preparations to run, but was stopped by the thoughts that suddenly emerged in his mind.

"Wait a minute - it's impossible. If the first part is a lie, how do you count the second part?"

"Even if he escapes from Hogwarts with an excuse, the name Lockhart will be useless - Dumbledore can't let him go, and there are so many outrageous things that it would take a lot of effort to even make them up..."

"Then," William stared at the wall, "if what Lockhart said is true, why isn't this place open to me?"

‘Is it because I’m not a student of this school? ’

‘That shouldn’t be the case—could a professor’s qualifications conflict with a student’s… Besides, Lockhart himself is also a professor. It doesn’t make sense. Such sophisticated magic is a bit of a waste…’

"It shouldn't be an identity issue, but it might be a capacity issue..." William speculated, "There's no telling what someone is doing inside."

"That's not right. If someone doesn't open it for whatever reason inside, then it's impossible for the Dark Lord to bring a group of people here, right? It's okay once, but if he doesn't disperse his actions many times, this place will be occupied long ago. Found."

Since he couldn't figure it out, he started to experiment one by one - William began to search around to see if there were any lucky students staying at the school who would be caught by him for an experiment.

"Hello, happy holidays!"

William shouted happily - although the three in front of him were not his students, it was not difficult to arouse them.

The three Harrys who had just met before were walking in the corridor at the moment. Although they didn't know why they all stayed in school during the spring break, it was good to open the door - if they really recognized the students, they would bump into them.

"Please do me a favor," William called to the tool man with a smile, "help me open this door."

"Professor, what door is this?"

Hermione looked calm and answered without waiting for the other two to respond - they met the Weasley brothers. Ever since the Weasley brothers shared this place, the three of them fell in love with this absolutely secluded cabin.

"It's right next to the tapestry over there. Just walk back and forth three times -" William dictated what Lockhart said, and his eyes drifted on the faces of the remaining two people - there was something wrong with the expressions of these guys. It seemed like they were not trying to act. What a good thing!

Before William could finish speaking, Harry panicked, "Professor, it's not illegal to enter a hidden room."

"No violation," William said with a serious look on his face - it seemed that something had been deceived. What did these three guys want to do?

"But -" he lengthened his voice, "if you are caught violating school rules in a hidden room, you will still need to be put in solitary confinement..."

"We don't. We just use this Room of Requirement for self-study..."

What is the difference between this and a student who was caught in an Internet cafe and claimed that he was here to check information?

But William was too lazy to add - the name Room of Requirement sounded very interesting, Room of Requirement... Could it be that this place is like Aladdin's magic lamp, which can conjure different things according to people's wishes.

Although I know there is no chance of catching the violation, it is not bad to make such a discovery.

"Then open the room, Harry." William said easily, "If there are no contraband, I will not confine you."

From what he thought was a hidden angle, Harry winked at his two friends crazily and said, 'Have you cleaned up the love potion? ’

‘Handed! ’

Ron responded - he understood.

Harry suddenly felt relaxed.

"The room where we discuss."

…

Although in theory, deception is fine - but Harry doesn't think he can deceive a wizard who can quickly find the basilisk and kill it with one blow...

Professor William smiled brightly, but under this smile, Harry lost his leg.

He would never believe the deception of such a smile, let alone the fact that the Weasley brothers were still inside.

Harry speculated that Professor William came with the Weasley brothers - if he couldn't open the door and couldn't see the Weasley brothers, he couldn't imagine what would happen...

The door appears.

Harry closed his eyes and gritted his teeth and opened the door.

"Harry, you are finally here! Look what new stuff we have studied!"

Fred's energetic voice suddenly came, making Harry feel guilty.

Sorry - but you're being targeted by your professor.

"What's new, Weasley?"

William raised his wand with a smile, and two spells were issued almost simultaneously, flying into the door to prevent the perpetrator from destroying the evidence.

"Boom. Boom."

Two short and crisp sounds of falling to the ground made the three people next to William change their faces.

"Let me take a look," he entered the so-called Room of Requirement first and took a look.

The room is not big, but that is compared to a classroom. If it is a group of people - based on the number of Death Eaters calculated previously, it should not be crowded.

‘Will it be a house? ’

"Or one for each person?"

'Try it later - but now let's check what's going on here and see if these guys are causing trouble. ’

The room was empty with only chairs. There was a cauldron not far away, and some kind of potion was rolling in it - the style was so ordinary that William couldn't tell it apart.

'It's not a love potion, nor is it Polyjuice...'

Just not the obvious illegal drugs - Veritaserum is still illegal for most pharmacists, and William still has some left...

He curiously walked to the pot and began to study the potion in the pot.

"Disappointing potion..." William shook his head, "Did you two make it?"

The twins nodded - even though they were tightly bandaged.

"I knew it was you..." William angrily made the potion disappear in the pot, "You don't even have the foundation to mix potions randomly. You two are really... not afraid of death!"

The potion in the pot is a modified version of the potion. It is different from the most basic and trouble-free basic formulas, but an improved version with a personal imprint.

But the twins were simply making random changes - they both wanted to build tall buildings without even laying the foundations.

"Although I don't know why you want to study these almost prank potions, but you probably haven't solved the side effects yet, right?"

"Reflect on it...bring the potions textbook to the office today. The confinement is to copy the textbook!"

"Professor, it's spring break!"

The two shouted innocently.

"Do you want me to calculate that week's confinement for you?" William stared at the two of them with unkind eyes, "I remember I said you were not allowed to hide it, right? Why didn't I hear the news about Ginny being arrested here? Woolen cloth?"

"Well, Professor, the bandage is a bit tight -" Fred's face suddenly burst into laughter, "We have to get the textbooks."

——

"Professor, how do you know it's not Hermione's?"

After the twins left, Harry asked mindlessly - although the crucible was filled with other potions, he always had the illusion that if he asked William to investigate further, the previous pot of love potion could not be hidden.

"Of course not," William stared at Harry - 'This kid's words 'not Hermione' reveal too much...'

"If it's Miss Granger, those low-level mistakes can be avoided. They tried to improve the potion, but there are too many things in it that violate the rules of potions. It is estimated that it will take a long time for the two of them to correct those mistakes. .”

William held back the rest of the sentence - according to Hermione's character, it was impossible for her to think of improving the potion before encountering a bottleneck.

Although he took the test twice, he probably had a good idea of ​​the character of this top student.

She is far ahead in mastering knowledge, but her spirit of inquiry...=how to put it, is not that strong.

She prefers to learn from what is already available and challenge more unknowns rather than create her own.

If it were a cultivator, she would be the kind of person who looks for secrets everywhere, and then quickly masters them and reaches the next level, while the twins are the ones who try to create their own techniques - of course, the twins are creative enough. The kind of people whose talents and foundation are still a little short of. If the treatment in the magic world is not enough, it is easy to prescribe medicine for yourself and drink to death...

'They are not top-notch geniuses...'

But there is no need to say this kind of thing - it is too shocking. There are not so many wizards who can improve the spells and introduce new ones after enough accumulation.

——

"So Professor, what are we going to do?"

Harry looked curiously at William who was still walking in the corridor after closing the room door.

'I want the room opened by Tom Riddle and his friends!'

…

William ignored Harry and walked alone.

What was at stake was so important that he didn't want to be distracted by anything else.

once,

twice,

three times.

The door appeared suddenly, just like when Harry called out the Weasley brothers earlier, the door appeared.

"The guess is correct..."

"There are no traces of renovation in such a small house...but the crucible used by Harry and the others is still there."

"The diary that Lockhart found before and the diadem that Ginny found are all there. This room has a preservation function."

“Then it’s only natural that the house that was opened decades ago is also there.”

"Now I found you - the real gathering place of Death Eaters is here!"

"There shouldn't be any particular danger here, but you have to be careful."

William thought about it and warned behind him, "Don't follow me, stand behind me, don't come in casually!"

Then, he began to take out the protection from his bag.

Dragonhide Gloves - A must.

Simple anti-spell cloak - homemade.

Then there are the Iron Armor Curse and other messy protections. William can already claim to be proficient in the Iron Armor Curse.

Pull out a small mirror that might be useful.

…

"Professor what is he doing?"

Ron whispered beside him.

He felt that William was a bit distracted.

"God knows," Harry stared intently, "but I think he could easily kill another basilisk."
