From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Looking for someone? Now?"

"Mr. Assistant, are you crazy? All of us are preparing for the upcoming Quidditch World Championship. The entire Ministry of Magic is working hard for this show. I almost forgot about Azkaban. The reserve teams nearby have been mobilized, you want me to find someone for you now?"

The captain of the striker complained half-truthfully - Hogwarts was going to hold the Triwizard Tournament, and the Ministry of Magic was going to hold the Quidditch World Cup, which meant that he had to mobilize all his new troops. Now let him send people to find people, is this not a joke?

Not to mention there is no manpower at all, even if there is, they have to complain about the lack of manpower - children who cry will get candy. When two major events are ready, complaining about the lack of manpower will make subsequent funding approvals easier.

It’s not that I don’t want to do things, it’s that there is really no one!

"If it doesn't work, go to the Auror. They are better at it. I'm really too busy here." He pushed the matter to the Auror's office with a look of embarrassment, expressing his helplessness - although this would It makes the Aurors more proud, but for the sake of future funds, it is worth holding back a little bit.

"Going to the Auror? Mr. Franklin, are you kidding me?"

"Otherwise we won't be able to find it at all. Professor William is an adult wizard. Our strikers can only find out that the other party has obtained a departure permit. The other party has consciously blocked the owl's logo used to locate wizards, and also blocked The commonly used divination and positioning spells are used. In this case, it is impossible to locate the opponent without sending people to search for them over a large area."

The batsman captain spread his hands. If it were easy, he wouldn't be able to take this opportunity to cry for poverty - all seven commonly used positioning spells are blocked. Is the opponent going on vacation abroad or running for his life?

Not to mention the tricky departure procedures. He spent a lot of effort to suppress this matter and prevent it from spreading. It was a welfare-earning business within the striker, and he couldn't stop it in his hands!

After crying, you must show your attitude towards doing things.

"There is no way to deploy manpower to pull the net on a large scale, but I will assign an elite team of seven people to assist the Aurors in arresting-er, searching. I will go and communicate with them personally about this matter."

These words made the assistant's face look much better. He hesitated for a moment, then changed his mind, "Can you ask those retired Aurors? I don't want people from the Auror office to get involved in this matter."

"Retired Auror..." Franklin pretended to be hesitant and thoughtful, as if he was trying to find a suitable partner. "I'll go ask Mad-Eye. You know, he is the best."

"Is this appropriate?"

This candidate is quite reassuring, but the question is whether the other party will agree to it.

"We have plans to hire this former Auror back to train a group of hitters, and he will generously agree."

Mad-Eye has a pile of criminal records. Although he has not been subject to any scrutiny because of his status as a former Auror, if the striker in charge of security is rehired, those criminal records will be worth mentioning, not to mention that this job itself is a kind of Glory, the other party will not refuse at all.

"That's very good. I hope you can find it within a week and send this invitation letter to the professor. I don't want any deviation."

Since the minister wants to invite the professor to lunch, he will definitely send the invitation letter to the professor's desk accurately, instead of telling the minister with frustration that his assistant cannot find the professor's address. .

"Of course, although manpower is tight, I will deploy the best young men to complete this mission."

In the warehouse that was cast by various spells, William's fingers were beating flexibly. Three seconds later, a stream of clear water spurted out directly from the tip of his fingers and wet the ground.

"The spellcasting simplification of clear water like a spring failed..."

"You have to use complete hand gestures to complete the spellcasting. Compared with the wandless spellcasting that I am already proficient in, this is actually a step back..."

"But there are indeed obvious differences. It's like it's the same tofu pudding. One bowl is sweet and the other is salty. There's no way to confuse them."

"What I have to do is get rid of the seasonings and find the taste of the original bowl of tofu pudding - more than that, I have to find what I like and the taste that suits me best, maybe with prunes or chili..."

Walking back to the table, he began to add the results of this experiment to the experimental record.

Although the simplification failed this time, he believed that those gestures could be simplified into the form of magic that can be obtained by just tapping.

Wizards' spellcasting is natural. The various magical features displayed by pre-school children do not have spells, wands, or gestures that are popular here. They just need it and can achieve it if they have enough magic power.

Whether it is a wand, gesture, spell or anything else, they are all means to achieve an end. Their existence is to allow the wizard to find the effect more accurately, and what William has to do is to find the most suitable means for him. All related The research is all paving the way for this.

"I still don't have enough time..."

William sighed and pulled out the time turner that was separated by a glass cover from his pocket.

"Unfortunately...adult wizards are not suitable for use..."

He flicked the glass cover.

"I have a preliminary understanding of the local customs. I have figured out the black market and other things. I have also made some polyjuice potions to escape when necessary. I have also copied a lot of information that I can copy..."

In the past month, he has stayed in five second-hand warehouses where he thought he had the best hope of receiving wizarding books. By looking through the collected books and materials, he got three quite high-quality materials and copied them. .

There were some rare materials, but he thought about it and decided not to use employee prices to purchase them.

Although it can't be said to be a fruitful harvest, it doesn't mean I left empty-handed.

Then, hiding in the Muggle world can be over, and he will now look for useful knowledge and materials on those black markets.

By the way, the experiment of this time converter has also been planned, and it can be studied a little bit.

Everything went smoothly, no surprises, but no disappointments either.

"I still have to go see Mr. Lennon to say goodbye tomorrow and personally thank him for taking care of me during this period. This will also bring the matter to a successful conclusion."

"I hope the following days will be so ordinary, allowing me to complete this holiday trip well."

He closed the experimental records, packed the equipment, and packed his luggage before lying down and falling asleep.

ps: A short chapter of two thousand words. There are always unexpected things during the holidays... That’s all for today, Gu...
