From Azkaban To Hogwarts

The most troublesome thing in the world is the aftermath, bar none.

It didn't even take two hours for Sirius to storm into the school in a rage and then be caught, but the time it took to deal with the subsequent related matters was outrageous.

On Wednesday, William had just finished the new curriculum for the first grade.

"After class, you must finish the paper well," William looked at the students, "otherwise when everyone is practicing in the next class, you will have to hold the book and copy - okay, let's break up."

A group of children who had just entered the magical world almost dispersed in a hurry. They did not have the courage to joke like the senior seniors.

"Percy, what's going on?" Seeing that the students had almost dispersed, he called directly to Percy who had just come over.

"Professor," Percy looked a little tired, but in a good mood, "Professor McGonagall asked me to tell you to come to her office."

"Okay, I know."

William nodded and left the classroom with Percy. By the way, a magic lock was added to the classroom - this was a classroom dedicated to self-defense. Due to equipment issues, it was not open to students as an empty classroom.

"It seems that you have had a very fulfilling life recently, Percy," William said to Percy, "but you must pay attention to the balance between work and rest. Many dark wizards I know are there because of physical reasons and have to use dark magic to maintain their health. The road is getting deeper and deeper.”

"Yes, Professor, but you..."

Percy seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to express it.

"It doesn't matter, think about it and take your time," William said as he returned the favor to the portrait on the wall, "I'm listening."

"I still want to go there after graduation..."

"Then let's talk about it carefully," William laughed. "Although it's a bit too utilitarian to say this, we have to admit that you have accumulated a little capital for yourself to squander."

"Although it is a good choice to enter the Ministry of Magic step by step and survive step by step, but because of your talent and hard work over the years, you have a little more capriciousness than others."

William lowered his voice, "To be honest, the Ministry of Magic is never short of people, so their requirements for graduates are terrifyingly high - but even so, you can get in without anyone's help."

"This is the path you give up after insisting on your choice. At the same time, you have to face the confusion of your family. In a family like yours, entering the Ministry of Magic should be the best choice for your parents. After you choose You still have to convince them.”

"Is it so important to enter the Ministry of Magic that you can't wait even one day?"

"Of course, but it won't be the same back then," William continued after confirming that no one was around the corner, "Compared to other departments, batters have always been short of people, but I guess your parents should not Very willing."

"Due to the shortage of personnel, the Auror side is said to be open to social recruitment, but we don't need to consider that for the time being."

"The rest is to work hard to become an expert and then be specially recruited into the Ministry of Magic - I don't need to tell you how difficult this is."

"Just tell me, being an intern is the most stable way." Percy was in a rare mood.

"Of course it is, it has always been like this." William nodded and smiled, "I will not advise you to do something that you are not sure about. Such important life decisions must of course be taken into consideration. Make a decision after considering all the pros and cons!”

"What about you, Professor? Why did you choose to take over the professorship?"

Percy was silent for a while, and didn't ask his next question until he was almost near Professor McGonagall's office.

"I?"

William shook his head, "I have no choice, or in other words, if you give me another chance, I will probably still choose this way."

"Think carefully before making a decision," William waved his hand at Percy, "Although you will have regrets no matter how many times you choose, it is the wisest thing to make yourself regret less."

——

"Professor McGonagall, Percy said you were looking for me?"

Knocking on Professor McGonagall's office, William asked.

"Yes, it's still the same thing," the vice-principal shook his head, "Sirius is still living in the campus hospital, and his temper is not very good."

'It's normal, after all, he came from Azkaban. ’

But this is not the right thing to say, "He is still clamoring to fight his way into Azkaban and then live there himself?"

"yes…"

Professor McGonagall had a headache when the students from her own college became like this - especially when they all fought against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix, it was even more uncomfortable.

"Let Harry go," William said cheerfully with a bad idea, "I remember that Sirius was Harry's godfather and told him that if he went to Azkaban, Harry would be alone and helpless. If you rely on me, you will have to be bullied by your aunt."

"By the way, I remember from the records I read that the relationship between Sirius and the Malfoy family was not very good? Let the young master of the school board also appear..."

"Professor William!"

Professor McGonagall shouted with a serious expression, but her tone was not very angry - Dumbledore finally united with the other school directors to drive the Malfoy family out last year, and she is a die-hard Dumbledore fan.

"Okay, that was just a joke, professor, so you asked me to come?"

Professor McGonagall definitely didn't call him here to make him a joke - asking Harry to persuade Sirius was just talk. Although Sirius himself was declared innocent, the prisoner who stayed in Azkaban for so long, himself His remarks and behavior are extremely offensive, how could he let students come into contact with him rashly?

Anyway, Professor Lupine, Sirius's old friend from back then, was here, so there was no need for students to take risks to appease their emotions.

"It's like this, because Professor Lupin happened to become the former striker," Professor McGonagall said this without even the intention of laughing - who in the entire magical world doesn't know that striker management is relatively chaotic and there are still shortcomings. As for the salary situation, it is completely normal for a few wizards to appear in those names.

"So, during the next period when the minister visits Hogwarts to visit Sirius, you have to be responsible for guarding Black..." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "If Professor Lupin is allowed to be responsible for guarding the entire process, I guess everyone will You can’t be fooled…”

'You also know it's a lie...'

Although William was clear about this matter, he still felt it was outrageous.

"I can't help it, Dumbledore was so noisy..." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Old Black's portrait has been making noise... Moreover, when the Black family was still the school directors, they spared no effort in donating to the school..."

Okay...the debt for that year...

——

"Lupine, let me out!"

When William came to the separated area of ​​the school hospital, he heard this sentence.

Then he saw Lupine with a vicissitudes of life - looking at his red eyes, and then calculating the phases of the moon, William immediately understood that it was not that Lupine was about to transform, but that Lupine had stayed up late again.

"Is he always like this?"

William looked at Lupin in surprise.

"Yes...he probably wants to kill Peter now and live in Azkaban. He won't listen to anyone..."

Lupine said quite helplessly. He even occasionally had the urge to imprison Padfoot, the bastard, back to Azkaban - what's so good about it that you have to go in?

"What does the principal think?"

At this time, throwing the blame to Dumbledore is a good choice.

"Dumbledore said that he believed that I would be able to untie Black's knot..."

Lupine looked extremely desperate.

"I knew when I was in school that that bastard wouldn't listen to anyone," Lupine cursed rarely. "He is one of the rare people who insists on his own way - the Black family is a firm believer in pure bloodism. Apart from him, almost everyone went there. Slytherin, he doesn't even care about the Sorting Hat, who can stop this bastard!"

This thing is so funny, a prisoner who escaped Azkaban's punishment has no intention of leaving Azkaban...

"If it doesn't work, let Harry do it," William suddenly realized that his bad idea seemed to be a good one.

"I've thought about it, but it's better not to do it..." Lupine shook his head without any hesitation, "The way he looks now is a bit too scary, and... Harry is not James, how can that stubborn guy Black be so cute? Listen to a child?”

It is a general rule that older people naturally have a sense of superiority over younger people in terms of experience.

And it's not that Lupine is discriminating against his old friend, he really thinks that the current Black will scare Harry - he and James are also good friends, how can he take this risk?

The two looked at each other and then fell into silence.

"Lupine, let me go! I'm going to kill him!"

Sirius's voice came, full of energy - the food in Hogwarts is more nutritious than the food in Azkaban.

"We have to choke the Minister of Magic when he comes to visit..."

After being silent for a long time, William said this.

"Add the petrification spell...if he hits the minister, he will really get his wish and become Peter's neighbor..."

Lupine hesitated and added.

——

"Are you crazy?"

Ron looked at Harry who was putting away the Invisibility Cloak, with the same surprise on his face as he said.

"I don't have any, Ron." Harry looked at the remaining candies he had. "Where are the ones you bought last time? Can you give me some, Ron?"

"No problem at all…"

Ron poured all his few sweets over to Harry.

"Professor Lupin is guarding there right now. We can't get close during the day. And Harry, you have no idea how scary Azkaban is!"

"Sirius stayed there for twelve years! The newspapers made it very clear that he has a very aggressive tendency! Harry, you don't know what it means to stay in Azkaban for that long!"

"I know, Ron, and look at Professor William - where..."

"No, that's different, and I heard from my father that Professor William had to lock himself in the house for nearly two months after he came out of Azkaban, and almost never went out!"

"It takes him so long to control himself, not to mention how dangerous Sirius is!"

Ron presented the facts and persuaded Harry.

"But he won't hurt me, and even if something happens, I have a little ability to protect myself," Harry looked at Ron, "He stayed in Azkaban for so long because of my father, the newspaper said Yes, he went after Peter all because of my father’s death..."

"I have to go see him, Ron," Harry looked into Ron's eyes, "I don't know how to describe this feeling, but I want to go see him..."

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Ron gave in, "Okay, maybe you're right, Harry."

"Come on, let's get together," Ron stretched out his hand towards Harry, "Even if we get points deducted, we'll get deducted together... I must be crazy..."

He didn't mention the more terrifying situation, but his attitude was obvious.

However, what he saw was not the Invisibility Cloak, but Harry's wand.

"Sorry, Ron," Harry's wand showed a little light, "They're all petrified!"

The petrified Ron was quickly put on the bed by Harry, who covered him with a quilt and pretended that he was asleep.

"The professor said that no matter how anxious you are, you should always consider the risks, which will make you have no regrets most of the time." Harry stopped himself from looking into Ron's eyes, "Sorry, Ron..."

Although according to the professor's guidance, this kind of risk was not necessary, when he made up his mind to go, he still decided not to let Ron participate - he didn't know how strong Sirius was, but if the other party didn't have a wand, he was confident run out.

Wait for the rest of the people to come back, tell them that Ron is not feeling well and fall asleep first, and then wait until dark.

Harry originally thought that the long wait would make him anxious, but he was surprised to find that he even had the energy to think carefully about the meeting and conversation.

Finally, in the dead of night - after giving Ron another petrification spell, Harry left the dormitory with the invisibility cloak and candy.

Although Ron's eyes were full of eagerness, Harry still resisted the urge to unlock the magic.

——

"The campus hospital is here..."

Harry looked at this place and suddenly remembered the report in the newspaper - Sirius rushed here to kill Peter who had deceived everyone, and was caught by Professor Lupin.

'Now he is also inside, but it is me who is looking for him...'

Harry even wanted to laugh, but immediately he thought of his arms and legs...

After trying hard to shake those scary things out of his mind, he carefully opened the door - to his surprise, the door was unlocked.

"Professor Lupine is here!"

Harry immediately thought of the possibility.

So, he opened the door more carefully, and then went in - Professor Luping was already lying there, and snoring could be heard from him from time to time...

Don't know why, Harry wanted to laugh, but suddenly he felt sad.

According to the common warning methods taught by the professor before, he used them to unlock a few warning methods, and then carefully walked close to the wall, avoiding the remaining ones.

"Lupine, let me go! I'm going to kill him!"

The shouts came from inside, and the real killing intent made Harry pause. Then, he made up his mind and approached the area carefully.

He quietly opened the door and sneaked in - however, when Harry looked at the source of the sound, two eyes were already fixed on Harry.

It was a somewhat distorted face, a strange face...

He looked at Harry's position, froze for a long time, and then made a trembling voice, "James... is that you..."
