From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"How was your vacation?"

"That's it, endless papers - but I didn't expect that Professor William only left us four papers."

On the Hogwarts Express, two students with fairy faces were communicating. Although the Easter spring break was their last long break before their OWLs exams, everyone was not very relaxed during this break.

"Yes, if Professor William hadn't let us go, I would have been driven crazy at home - you don't know, my mother found me a bunch of pamphlets about various professions..."

"It's the same. I was catching up on the Transfiguration homework at that time. My mother also felt that the self-defense magic professor assigned too little homework. She suspected that the professor was not very responsible..." The child who spoke shook his head, "She didn't know this year at all. How did I survive!"

"You two, please keep your voices down, the room next door is still sleeping!"

The passing prefect stopped the discussing students, and then yawned - he planned to take a good rest later before facing Hogwarts tonight...

"Oh, dear, please let me go, I have to go over there for a moment -" the salesperson's voice suddenly came from behind, and then the other person took out a set of pamphlets from the dining cart, "Have one, dear, and there's another Chocolate frogs and a pack of multi-flavor beans for giveaway…”

Before the prefect could say anything, the items were thrust into his hands, and then the enthusiastic salesperson knocked on the door of the box and began to distribute the pamphlets.

——

"Oh, Nancy, how was your rest?"

When the fifth graders were queuing up to get on Ye Qila's car, the students beside them who were busy getting some sleep were finally able to have a good conversation.

Each of them had a set of pamphlets and snacks as gifts, and it looked like they were approaching the graduation exam - but they were almost halfway through graduation as they had started taking advanced training in the sixth grade.

"Fortunately, I just feel like I'm missing something, especially the self-defense magic class - I'm still a little scared without the professor's questions..."

"Okay, okay - don't think so much Nancy, if you can't pass the exam, then who else can?"

A group of noisy children piled into the carriage, preparing for the last night before the summer school year.

But when they came to the lounge, they discovered that no students would be able to sleep well tonight.

A batch of pamphlets, leaflets and notices about various magical professions appeared on the tables in the lounges of various colleges, while two other notices were posted on the bulletin boards.

Career Counseling: All fifth-year students are required to attend a brief meeting during the first week of the summer term to discuss future employment issues with their College Dean.

OWLs exam sprint meeting: With the approval of the principal and vice-principal, fifth-grade students will attend the exam sprint meeting in the auditorium on Tuesday afternoon of the first week of this semester. The class on that day will be moved to Saturday morning - fifth-grade students must attend, and those who are absent will be treated as absent for two days. deal with.

“I understand employment counseling—what will this sprint be?”

The students surrounding the city started talking, and even the children who were not in the fifth grade came to eat melon and discuss it.

"Who knows, but it's definitely not a prank to post it here, it's just-" the child who spoke wailed, "Why are you taking up Saturday time? I still have a date!"

"I remember that we would move the herbal medicine class over on Tuesday. Playing with flowers and plants together would be considered a date, right?"

"You mean mixing dragon dung with soil to play with flowers and plants..."

——

"Professor, what do you think of this version of the speech?"

In William's office, Percy nervously held the seventh version of the speech and asked carefully.

"Well, quite a speech, Percy."

William praised without hesitation - if he made a mistake, a child like Percy should have given him a set of manuscripts to memorize. He had already approved it six times when he wrote it himself, but this child still revised it secretly, and then... He came over cautiously and asked.

In order to make the child more confident, William had to change his tone.

"Percy!" William said seriously, "Did you know? The important thing about a speech is not the content, but the appeal!"

"Infectious?"

"Yes, it's contagious. You have to make people believe that doing what you say is right. This is how you passed the twelve certificates!"

"But Professor, you told me not to speak too harshly, to prevent those students from losing their courage..."

"There is no conflict!" William shook his head, "They all need it! You have to let them know that even if the exam is just over a month away, they can still work hard!"

'It should take a hundred days to be serious...It's a pity that I haven't prepared enough. ’

Ignoring the sudden thought, William cheered Percy on.

"Your grades are genuine. Everyone knows that you are the best student in the castle—not even a seventh-grade student can get twelve certificates!"

As William spoke, he patted Percy's shoulder hard, causing the boy's face to instantly turn the same color as his hair.

"So, you must tell them that even in this month, their grades can still be improved a lot!" William stared into Percy's eyes, "Now I am not the only one who thinks you can, the principal, Professor McGonagall, and the rest The deans of the school have approved your speech as a student representative, you have to believe in yourself!"

"Yes, Professor!"

Percy shouted.

"Then don't worry about the format of the manuscript. It's perfect enough. What we need now is a confident you, Percy!"

William raised his voice, "Practice your speech, speak louder to others, and let them know how confident you are, Percy!"

"It's professor!"

"Go ahead and train hard, you are the best!"

——

"Percy starts again."

Fred curled his lips, looking impatient.

"It is said that he also customized a new robe... Tsk," George looked disgusted and began to calculate something on the parchment, "Ginny, did you find out anything?"

"It seems like he is preparing a speech or something." Ginny frowned, "What are you two planning?"

"We are too lazy to play with his ideas. Because of the funds given by the professor, our big plans have been advanced a lot." The twins rolled out their parchments with proud faces, but Ginny didn't understand a word of it.

"I don't think I'm doing well in my final exams..." Ginny whispered, "I'm missing too many classes..."

"It's okay Ginny, it's the same for us and Ron."

The two smiled and comforted, and then heard the voice of an owl, "It seems that the goods we ordered are coming, Ginny."

But no.

The voice of the flying owl was quite familiar to them, and what it brought was nothing more than a thin letter.

"Okay, there's a letter from mom."

George looked at the envelope helplessly, then opened it, "We haven't done anything recently that would require parents to be notified, right?"

"Should—probably—maybe?"

"Professor McGonagall was worried about our final exam when she talked to us - but didn't she say before that our grades this semester will not affect our further studies?"

The two of them muttered and opened the letter, and Ginny opened a gap and began to read.

[...Percy said you two have been doing well lately...]

"It's so rare that Percy didn't complain..."

[The professor named William admires you very much, which is a good thing - Percy said that professor has a very unique vision and strength...]

"I appreciate it very much. I feel like I spent a third of this year in confinement there..."

[It is a good thing that you can perform well. I hope you will not disappoint the professor's expectations...]

…

After reading the whole book, there was a rare lack of criticism - mostly because Percy said a lot of good things.

But the expressions of the two people became ugly.

"What's wrong with you two? Is there something wrong with the potion?"

"No," Fred said with a look of despair, "I don't think... I can pass the final grade."

——

"The OWLs exam is just an ordinary exam,"

On the temporary podium set up by magic, Percy was no longer nervous at the beginning, "Believe me, don't be nervous - the examiner can neither confine you nor write a letter to your mother to complain..."

"Percy is still nervous."

"But the one down there is more nervous. To be honest, I'm quite nervous too."

The professors listening in the corner were talking quietly, and William was hiding among the professors, feeling quite content.

It is necessary to start this sprint event - one month is a little short, but we can still do something.

"Professor William, do you still have your comprehensive paper?"

"Yes, yes, I will take you to your office later."

William responded to the professor who was talking and began to think about the shortcomings of the activity.

He was still too nervous to start after the spring break. Although he couldn't remember the reason, but since it was originally a hundred days of vows, the number of one hundred days must still make sense - the time will be changed next year.

‘You can’t always have a hard time with the mock papers. Next, you can do something simple to boost your confidence. It can’t be too simple. Once you get used to it, you will be dumbfounded when you find that the test questions are too difficult...’

"Professor William."

"Ah, what, Professor McGonagall?"

"The students below listened very seriously. I think it is necessary to make this meeting a regular meeting, and then select the outstanding students from last year to give speeches."

“That’s great, I think the students will like it.”

"I just hope that the weather will be better next time - records from previous years show that if the weather changes quickly in the next month, the pressure on the campus hospital will be great." Professor McGonagall frowned, "This year the campus hospital will be under great pressure. There are enough things going on.”

She shook her head, "I still owe a small branch hospital, but there are still students lying in the hospital, so it is really inappropriate to hold it."

"Yeah - those curses..." William shook his head.

There are ample records showing how to deal with the basilisk, but the curse of the basilisk is not so lucky - generally speaking, normal cases will die, but for various reasons, fewer will be petrified. Researching this kind of curse is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and almost useless.

Potions boiled out of mandrake can basically solve most problems. Compared to researching curses, don't do it too quickly - even if you include its long growth period, it can't be slower than researching curses. It takes years to research that thing. Working in a unit.

Especially when the sample size is pitiful and there will be almost no such cursed people in the future.

"The mandrake is about to mature. It will be easy to tell when the time comes," Professor McGonagall sighed. "It grows too slowly. Special medicine must be fresh..."

"At least we know we can get it done, which is great, Professor."

William couldn't do everything - he did have a card that could lift the curse, but when he went over with a bunch of potion ingredients that he was going to cook and prepared to tear the card, he wasted a meal coupon... a pile of materials were still there It made him vaguely feel that he didn't have enough materials at hand.

‘The cheating card… is not as useful as the white card! ’

The two stopped talking when they mentioned the curse - today is an important day for the fifth grade students, and saying such words would affect the atmosphere.

——

"Penello, did you see it?"

After the speech, Percy, who was still a little flushed, took the photo to show off to his girlfriend.

"I saw it, I sneaked into the students!"

His girlfriend responded with a proud look on her face - the surrounding students thought the prefect was here to maintain discipline and didn't say anything.

"Did you skip class?"

"It's okay. The professor and I asked for leave. We said we didn't sleep well yesterday and felt uncomfortable."

…

"Percy!"

The sudden sound startled the two students.

"Peeves, what are you doing!"

Percy pulled out his wand, looking evil.

"Hey, Percy, you're the best!"

Peeves imitated Penelope's voice and floated around the empty classroom.

"Percy, you're the best!"

He whistled, then floated towards the door, straight through it.

"All petrified!"

Percy heard a familiar voice, followed by a spell he couldn't understand at all, and then, with a bang, Peeves hit the ground.

He hesitated for a moment - should he go out, or hide and be an ostrich?

In the end, he chose to rush out, but when he opened the door, he found that Professor William had already walked to the corner of the corridor.

"Percy, what's wrong?"

William turned back and stared at him curiously.

"Professor, thank you."

"Don't always occupy the classroom for dates. The sun is so nice outside, go outside!"

William waved his hand and turned away.

——

"That guy Percy is getting more and more blatant."

The twins' dissatisfied answers - Percy doesn't seem to worry about anything at the moment, dating is quite natural.

"Yes, Ginny is still here."

"It doesn't matter - Professor McGonagall said, I even typed up his report..."

Ginny said nonchalantly, and then started to read the book.

In order to seek memory, she talked to many people, and she was fully aware of the good things she had done in the past - she valued her memory more than her brother.

There was nothing she could do about it. The sorting ceremony was too important for students, and she was the only one in the school who had forgotten about it.

But unfortunately, there is no treatment, and the erased memory cannot be restored.

"Where's Ron?"

she asked curiously.

"Review plan, Hermione's review plan - didn't she tell you?"

The twins looked at Ginny curiously, "She's still trying to make plans for us."

"Oh, she gave me her first grade notes."

Ginny looked at her two brothers and said, "She also said that if you have any difficulties, you should go to her."
