From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"For you, I have carried three pieces of materials..."

William sat in the office, staring intently at the time turner he had just acquired.

This is a disc tied by a long golden chain. In the center of the disc is a small, rotating hourglass. According to Professor McGonagall, the number of times it rotates is the length of time travel, but it cannot exceed the maximum. Five hours.

This is the most basic rule - and there are so many additional rules that it can even make people despair.

The Ministry of Magic has hundreds of laws against time-turners...even if they only apply to underage wizards.

‘I understand that a talented wizard like you is greedy for the most wonderful magic, time. However, Professor William, I hope you can at least read the additional laws before exploring. ’

These were Professor McGonagall's exact words before giving it to William - even though William swore he would never risk using the Time Turner on himself.

"Backtracking?"

William looked at the time turner on the table,

There is a line of small words on it - I mark every inch of time, but never beyond the sun. My value to you is measured by your purpose.

"Before I understand those cumbersome rules, I need to boldly speculate on its purpose - the addition of those restrictive regulations may cause me to lose the ability to make reasonable speculations."

"Does it only work on wizards?"

"When you go back in time, if you were carrying something that was clearly non-replicable before that time - then, in that brief period of time, were both genuine? Or were both copies?"

"If you use the converter for a long time, is your birthday still a birthday? Will the curse on birth date take effect? ​​How to calculate the curse on age?"

"If you use a time turner on a plant, can it speed up its growth?"

"What about the potion? If the potion was brewed one hour ago, will it become the raw material or the potion that has been brewed for two hours?"

"If a bug eats something halfway through, and uses a converter to advance the time by an hour, and then observes it again, will the food be finished, or will the bug bite itself to death?"

"Is it an entity that was converted? Or was it converted into a copy engraved by the time turner?"

“…”

One piece of parchment after another was quickly folded to the other side of the table, and William's various new and old ideas were all written down on them. Perhaps most of the contents inside had been thought of by predecessors and passed through various methods. It has been verified by experiments, but there are more than three ideas that have not been verified, that is, you can make money with blood.

There was nothing he could do - the Ministry of Magic looked at this thing more seriously than the Statute of Secrecy. If he hadn't caught up today, he wouldn't have been able to get it.

Could it be that one of his professors went to grab converters from students? Are you kidding me? Isn't it embarrassing enough to be rejected?

The time turner handed in by the fifth grader is basically at the same level of energy dissipation. After being used for three years, it will have to spend a long time in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic to restore its magic power. Even if he applies for it, it will be useless. When Miss Granger decided to give it up and the thing was still in the school, there was room for maneuver.

"Totally taking advantage of the students..."

William shook his head, put the converter away, and then locked it up with magic - he didn't dare to put this thing close to his body. Underage students got more time to study. If he accidentally turned the hourglass, that would be fine. Waiting for death, time is not a joke...

"There is simply nowhere to intervene... The only magical powers related to time that I have at my disposal are age-enhancing potions and several life-extending banned magic potions..."

"But this is even more interesting...a whole new set of lore..."

——

"Harry, how did your exam go?"

Ron asked excitedly while holding the report card. Although his self-defense skills were not perfect, thanks to the calculation method, he finally got an unprecedented O.

"All passed!"

Harry said happily, although he had just passed the Divination and Potions, but what does it matter?

Unlike before, he was now looking forward to the summer vacation - spending the whole summer vacation with Sirius!

Such a wonderful thing made him ignore the fact that Dudley would be his neighbor during the summer vacation, which was a summer vacation without discount!

"Me too!

Ron handed over his transcript, exchanged looks with Harry, and then the two had a new discussion about passing the Divination - such as how to die next year to make Professor Trelawney happier. , they firmly believe that the tragic experiences they made up on the paper are an important secret to passing the exam.

"You two..."

Hermione held the transcript with an evil look in her eyes, "Why doesn't anyone care about my grades?"

"Come on, Hermione, everyone knows who is number one!"

This sentence resonated with the people around her, and made Hermione even more angry - including the full score for exemption, she scored 350% of the upgrade qualification. After she voluntarily gave up the time turner, It is absolutely impossible for this situation to happen again, but no one cares?

"What's wrong? Did you fail the exam?"

Harry asked hesitantly. Hermione had been in a bad mental state before the exam. If she failed the exam...

"No, my grades are pretty good."

"That's good," Harry breathed a sigh of relief, "It's still number one, right?"

"…yes."

Everyone who was frightened by Harry's question suddenly showed expressions like this, and then began to exchange results with each other - it would be abnormal for Hermione not to come first in the exam!

Just when she was sulking, the passage to the lounge opened, and the twins walked into the lounge looking a little abnormal. They discovered them slowly, and then said hello with a smile.

"Are you still looking at your results?"

"Yeah, what are you busy with? You've been running around everywhere these past two days." Ron looked at his two brothers, hesitated and asked with concern, "You don't seem to be doing well. Why don't you go to the hospital?" See?"

"No need!"

"we are doing well!"

The answers of the two people suddenly intertwined, and there was no early tacit understanding at all. They themselves also realized this problem, and before others could react, they hurriedly said goodbye and left the scene as if they were fleeing.

——

"This... keep this at school... this... take away."

As time moved forward little by little, William also started to pack his luggage. The time switch that he had just bought was firmly fixed at the bottom of the box by magic - the application to be completed in a hurry has been submitted to Professor McGonagall, and he will be processed in the office. You can just pick up the box and leave.

This time I followed the same old rules, taking the Hogwarts Express all the way back to London, and then directly finding someone in London to spend a lot of money to get him out of the country.

There are ways to save money. If he is willing, he can even sneak across by himself without spending a galleon - but that is obviously not possible. With the help of Dumbledore, he finally left that shabby Azkaban. place, now I don’t want to do anything related to that.

Spend more money on the gray road, and feel at ease.

He doesn't plan to spend this summer vacation in the UK at all, his goal is Uganda.

One is for strength, and the other is to avoid disaster - he doesn't think that his protective methods can surpass those of top Aurors. If the opponent stumbles, he will never confidently challenge the opponent's ability to take advantage of loopholes.

If he didn't know Mad-Eye's record, he might have taken some risks, but after checking the information under the guidance of vague memory, he directly chose to go out.

Let's not talk about the fact that he and Old Tom have a good relationship - even if they are strangers, he can't let him risk being attacked by a top Death Eater because of him, right?

Therefore, Uganda was the best choice, especially after he learned through the messy letters this year that there were so many correspondence courses in the wizarding world, this idea became even more firm.

Killing two birds with one stone is nothing more than working harder and spending more Galleons.

Although the salary at Hogwarts is not too high, there is no problem in paying it - after all, the school really provides full board and lodging, and those who have served for a long time will be directly allocated a place, so there is no big expense at all.

Although the name of Uganda is inconspicuous, it has the largest magic school in Africa, Wagadu.

Compared with the three major magic schools in Europe, Wagadu's magic is almost of a completely different type - due to historical reasons, wizards there rarely use wands when casting spells, but use fingers or gestures to cast spells.

This alone is of great help to William who is stuck in a theoretical dilemma. Although the Hogwarts library also has some corresponding information, how can the information compare with seeing it with his own eyes?

Not to mention that the mobility of wizard society is not that high under the influence of the secrecy law. Uganda is gradually getting into contact with magic wands, and theoretical knowledge is probably updated every year. If you don't see it in person, you will miss too much.

Even if it is as developed as later generations, the information gap is still obvious, let alone a wizarding society that cannot use electronic products at all.

"First get an anonymous permission to leave the country, then leave the country legally, use Muggle transportation to forge your identity and get around, and add anti-tracking magic, and you can arrive safely."

"Fortunately, the official language of Uganda is English. At most, because of the origin of wizards and French, language is not a problem."

William packed the last piece of luggage and went to his owl.

"Sorry - I can't take you with me this time. You have to stay in the school's owlhouse for a while. Hagrid will take good care of you."

"Gu?"

The guy grew bigger again and looked at William with his head tilted. It took him a while to realize what William was talking about.

"Goooooo!"

It barked, and then rubbed its head against William's hand to express its knowledge.

William tore open a pack of high-end rations, watched it finish, and then pushed its belly with his hand - "Go, don't bully other owls!"

"Goooooo!"

——

"William, tickets for the World Cup! Tickets for the Quidditch World Cup!"

On the last day before leaving school, Adams complained dissatisfiedly at the table - the Quidditch world was coming soon, and the school had a lot of tickets, and they were asking who wanted to go, but William refused without thinking.

'It's true that Quidditch is beautiful - but it's also true that I have to run for my life...'

The more people there are, the easier it is to strike. People have always taken advantage of chaos to cause trouble, especially in the Quidditch World Cup. Think about the traditional British football ****, and then think about the stories of chaos after the Quidditch game told by the guys in the next cell. , William really couldn't guarantee whether he would lie somewhere and become an ingredient for polyjuice potion.

"I know, that's good, but really," William shook his head and told a white lie, "How should I put it, I want to perform a special blessing ceremony during the summer vacation to avoid bad luck. That is always The rituals that have been passed down will be disrupted if you go.”

Because of the existence of magical potions like Blessing Elixir, William's statement was immediately accepted - after all, Adams had also been exposed to the so-called ritual magic, and William himself was an inherited wizard, so it was normal for him to write messy things.

Not to mention that Professor Fei, who was still famous when the name of the self-defense course was not changed a few years ago, William still persisted for two years, which made the theory of the ceremony more reliable.

"Okay, since it's a ceremony, there's nothing you can do about it. Carry it out properly and don't make any mistakes - if it doesn't work, just postpone your return to school and come back after school starts to make sure the ceremony is completed."

"I'll help you turn your student's courses into herbal medicine classes first, and we'll adjust the classes when you come back."

"That's not necessary. It will definitely be no problem if you finish it before school starts. But how to do it is a new problem."

William spread his hands and said, "Say something happy. Have you seen the Weasley brothers over there?"

A well-known office talking mascot, in his prime, even professors directly talked about how many more detentions the two would have to get through the semester - how could Adams not know?

"They--hey, come to think of it, why are the two of them acting like this? They don't know how to eat, and they are obviously about to leave school. Isn't it a very comfortable time in the fifth grade?"

"It's very comfortable, but let them forget it. Yesterday they seemed to have dismantled a toilet seat, then packaged it and sent it out."

"Is there still this matter?"

Adams couldn't close his mouth - he said that someone would come out every few years, but this was the first person to actually do it?

"Yeah, I was shocked too..."

"That won't be like this..."

"I haven't locked them up yet."

William smiled and told the truth.

"No wonder, but let them go like this?"

"How is it possible? I went to Mr. Filch and sent the toilet seat back to their home through him in the name of the school. Counting the time, it should be there soon."

"You must be the devil - they spent the entire summer vacation..."

Adams covered his face. He could imagine how the two of them were in deep trouble during the summer vacation.

"That's not the case. The OWLs results will be out soon. I asked other professors and they both performed very well. I estimate that the results of this exam should be great, so it will be great when the transcripts arrive."

"What if I don't do well in the exam?"

"Hmm...guess?"

William smiled.

——

"I can't believe it - the professor didn't notice!"

After successfully boarding the train, the twins finally felt relieved.

"Maybe it's because I didn't open the package - it's still a bit regretful... There was no confinement before the summer vacation!"

"It's not..."

George chimed in, and the train whistle blew, interrupting the conversation.

The journey home has begun.
