From Azkaban To Hogwarts

After seeing the Ravenclaw crown, William finally understood high-end magic items.

But compared to the map just now, Ravenclaw's crown is inferior.

‘Maybe it’s because I didn’t really wear the crown? ’

William leaned back on the chair and exhaled, but such an excuse could not fool him—compared to the crown, the map was too tempting to him.

To use an inappropriate analogy, some people like white silk stockings, some people like cat ears, some people like witch costumes... and some even like big mushrooms.

This is nothing to criticize. Everyone has his or her own ambitions, which is completely normal.

Compared to the crown, that map was more in line with his taste—comparing untried wisdom with visible surveillance, William would definitely choose the latter.

There is nothing you can do about it. In the aftermath of Azkaban, if there are dementors that come in and eat outside the window, they will choose a map that can monitor the outside.

But this isn't right.

The twins were underage and didn't understand. They didn't even realize how terrifying this map was, which they thought was just a map marking a secret passage. What was the map marking a secret passage? It was the so-called map that showed the location information of everyone in the castle in real time. The scariest place in the Marauder's Map.

'Surveillance that even Dumbledore can't escape...'

William took a breath of air-only a child would only regard this thing as something interesting.

'Even if it falls into the hands of a wizard like me, he can easily touch the inside of Hogwarts and enter and exit as if he were in a deserted place. ’

"This map can even observe the time when the internal guards of Hogwarts are the most empty, and grasp Dumbledore's whereabouts in disguise..."

‘Oh my god… what kind of monsters those two kids created! ’

Not long ago, William killed the basilisk with his own hands - but if the basilisk and the map were in the hands of the bewitched Lockhart at that time, then Lockhart could even kill at least a third of it under Dumbledore's eyes. s student!

'That's outrageous...'

Such speculation made William almost take out the map and hand it to Dumbledore, but in the end he held back.

The surveillance of that map was so outrageous that everyone living in the castle was stared at by it at all times. When William looked at it, he felt like he was staring at the wall of Azkaban.

Only in prison would people be stared at so hard - the little dots that stand in for people are cold and emotionless, showing where a person is and who they are with without any cover.

Maybe Dumbledore is trustworthy, but not every principal is trustworthy. During this time, William sent Professor Binns materials for compiling school history, and at the same time he also supplemented a lot of knowledge about previous principals of Hogwarts. I know very well how unreliable some principals in this school are.

If this kind of monitoring of all students is passed down from generation to generation, then Hogwarts might as well run a joint school with Azkaban.

‘William, don’t do to others what you don’t want others to do to you! ’

He persuaded himself again - since he didn't want to be filmed by cameras 24 hours a day, there was no reason to use such power to monitor others.

'If you want to use that kind of power to spy on others at will, you are not far from a dark wizard! ’

Using this conclusion to dissuade himself, William added a few more protective spells to the drawer that were extremely difficult for him to break.

‘I wish I were still as simple as a student——’

But this is obviously impossible. The innocent twins do not know how to use this thing to satisfy their needs other than finding secret passages, and the wizard who imagines other uses is definitely not innocent.

‘As expected, it was Azkaban who caused it! ’

Leaving the blame on the prison, William decided to go out for a walk - he entered Baoshan and returned empty-handed. He was in no mood to do anything else today.

‘Let it become a collection that will never be used! ’

"Fred, did you rob Gringotts?"

In the Gryffindor lounge, Ron looked at his brother with envy - the items on Fred and George's tables totaled at least thirty galleons.

Those were the products from Zuko's Joke Shop, which was the favorite of Hogwarts students. They were all hot-selling items. Although Ron hadn't been allowed to go there yet, he had seen others showing them off, and one of them had been envious for a long time.

"We don't admit that we have such a disgraceful brother."

George looked at Ron with disgust as he fiddled with a box of burp candy.

"Huh?" Fred looked at him with confusion, "Don't we only have one sister, Ginny?"

"Oh, yes, I forgot, brother." George nodded in agreement, then threw a bag of candy to Harry, "Try this, Harry."

"Where's mine?" Ron waited for a long time, but didn't wait for the follow-up.

"Who are you?"

The two smiled and began to pack the shopping items on the table.

"Hey, if you don't say anything, I'll write and tell mom!"

"Whatever, Ron, our money is fair and square. The professor paid for it personally, and we can explain it even if we get it to mom." George nodded, "A hundred galleons plus the medicine we want, it's a pretty good deal. .”

"But I remember today is not Hogsmeade day," Percy appeared with a bad look on his face, "Also, what does a hundred galleons mean?"

"The money is clear, Percy, and the professor didn't say anything - you're not the only one who can take galleons from the professor."

The two of them happily slipped away as they spoke, completely ignoring Percy's threats.

"Don't let me catch you!"

Percy threatened weakly, and then looked at Ron and the others, "You three, please be careful and don't run around. I have something else to do - the professor has a mission, and he asked me to be his assistant."

After threatening him, he quickly left, leaving Ron with an envious look on his face.

"I want it too," he looked at the direction the twins left, and then looked at the direction Percy left, "Percy has already made a lot of gold as an assistant... When can I also be an assistant?"

"Professor, I'm here."

"Very well, Percy." William looked up from what he was writing. "Sit down for a moment, Percy, and I will work on the outline of this speech."

"How can I help, Professor?"

"Wait a minute, there is another one, you eat some candy first," William thought of a new feed and added it - because of that walk, he thought of a lot of good ideas.

'Failure is the mother of success - this is indeed true, but I wonder if it will be acclimatized if I copy it like this? ’

"No, that's more or less it. Percy, take a look. This is the outline of your next speech. See if there's anything that doesn't quite fit the facts or something that you feel is wrong from a student's perspective."

William handed over the request he had written.

"Professor, I'm just a student, and..."

"It's nothing special. It's just for the students. This can't always be what I thought." William smiled, "Look and see if there is anything inappropriate. The draft was originally taken out for revision. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Don't make mistakes." Did you come to correct me?"

"Yes, Professor."

Percy took the parchment.

‘OWLs final sprint – my personal experience. ’

ps: I have been struggling with this chapter for too long, and it really feels wrong... as it is written...

Also, I’ll do this for today, and I’ll add a chapter tomorrow.
