From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"boom!!!"

Under heavy protection, the crucible for brewing the potion exploded.

The dark gray potion spread out and evenly coated every corner of the cylindrical area. Then it slid down drop by drop and gathered into a pile of liquid on the dented experimental table.

"The power is ordinary. It can only be regarded as a general potion explosion accident."

William wrote in his notebook conveniently, and then used magic to strengthen his protection again. Then he carefully drained the potion out, and then after a series of tests on dead and living objects, he removed the time turner that was confirmed to be fine. out.

‘The potion that is still brewing failed to use the time turner to speed up the experiment. ’

‘The reason for the failure remains to be investigated - Judging from the on-site damage effects, it is suspected that unstable magic power collided, resulting in an explosion. ’

Failure is also a kind of progress, and he is not so depressed about this result.

The invention of the time turner was originally what wizards called Merlin's gift. Over the years, many great magicians had tried to study its principles but failed. William did not think he was smart enough to stand out from the crowd.

But that doesn't affect its use - how long did it take for humans to discover that breathing requires oxygen? Didn't people before breathe?

The principles are similar. If you don't understand the principle, it won't affect the research and use. If you can't speed up the production of potions, you can study other things. It's not impossible to even use the failure of potion production as a research point for another attack route.

Coca-Cola was originally sold as a cold medicine. Real life is such that people can't imagine what will happen next second.

"Sirius, Ron extended an invitation to me to stay at their house for a few days and then watch the Quidditch World Cup!"

A stupid fool brought Harry a letter from his best friend, and Harry shouted to Sirius before he could even read it.

He was willing to share all happiness with Sirius, including invitations from friends.

"Quidditch World Cup?"

Sirius was stunned for a moment, "Speaking of which, it's true - it will start right away."

"I'm going to get some tickets for the box right now. You can invite your two friends to come with you... No, how about we just invite their whole family to watch?"

He suggested enthusiastically, then called his owl and prepared to write a letter.

But as soon as he called out the owl's name, he froze and his face became embarrassed.

As Sirius's expression became strange, Harry was also stunned. He thought for a moment and immediately discovered the problem - there was no way they could go to see Quidditch. According to the school's restrictions on Harry's location during the holidays, Harry couldn't even think about the Quidditch World Championship.

Once he leaves Privet Drive, all defensive measures will be ineffective, and the mysterious man whose name cannot be mentioned may come and kill him at any time...

"I want to write a letter to the school!"

Sirius looked at Harry's frustrated face, "There are so many dangers! I'm going to write to Professor McGonagall and ask him to allow me to take you to see that game. That's the Quidditch World Championship! You How could such an excellent seeker miss such a game!"

"No, I don't need it. I'll write to Ron right now and tell him the reason why we can't go."

After Harry thought painfully, he said to Sirius with difficulty.

Quidditch is important, but it's not worth it if you risk Sirius blocking an attack for you.

——

"Harry, he's not coming?"

In Ron's room, the twins were reading Harry's letter with their younger brother. Ginny stood behind and tried to squeeze in, but in the end she couldn't squeeze past three brothers who were at least half a head taller than her.

After thinking for a while, she moved a chair from next door, then put her hands on the twins' heads unceremoniously, and tried hard to read the reply.

However, even if she saw it with her own eyes, she still didn't want to believe it.

Harry actually stopped coming to her house this summer!

"Why?"

Ginny asked in a low voice, then pushed Ron's head away in disgust, letting the letter leak out where it was blocked.

"For safety reasons, the school prohibits him from leaving that room too far?"

She muttered to herself, and Fred shook his head to make sure his hair was not caught, "This is so funny... Why was it possible before, but not now?"

"That's right, it was possible before, but not now - did anyone escape from Azkaban this year?"

"And the facts tell us that the most dangerous creature they released from Azkaban was not Sirius Black, but ours..."

"Honorable Professor."

George also got rid of Ginny's hand, struggled to pull her down from the chair, and casually picked up the end of Fred's words.

"Obviously, their judgment of danger was very questionable."

He shrugged his shoulders, trying unsuccessfully to make his actions look funny.

Because not long after, Mrs. Weasley appeared, and no one could laugh anymore - Harry couldn't come over for one reason, and Mrs. Weasley beat up Fred and George for the professor's joke last week for another reason.

Although the two have always claimed that they were beaten because they were too loud, and the professor's jokes were only one of the reasons, no one was willing to take the risk to try this challenge to see if they would get beaten.

[Dear Professor McGonagall;

…

The Quidditch World Cup final is about to begin, but for various reasons, Harry can't make it there. I think this is unfair to him.

He is not yet seventeen years old and has reason to enjoy all the beauties of the wizarding world. At the same time, as an excellent Gryffindor seeker, he also needs to watch a grand event to improve his technical level.

Isn't it that we participate in that society so that future wizards can live freely in the entire magical world without the threat of the Dark Lord?

…

Your faithful student Sirius Black

】

"Letter from Sirius."

Professor McGonagall put the letter on the file and pushed it over, and said to Dumbledore, who rarely appeared.

"What method did Remus use to make those two guys not choose to risk participating in Quidditch and report it, but instead wrote to the school to apply for an outing opportunity?"

She said in surprise, those were three Gryffindors, and they didn't cause any accident when they got together. Instead, they became a group that honestly applied to the school - this fact is so magical that this group of people did not cause any trouble. The head of Gryffindor couldn't accept it.

This was something I had to agree to - the Ministry of Magic has been generous and selfless in protecting Harry because Harry would stand on the Ministry's side and support the Ministry of Magic. Otherwise, how could the Ministry of Magic be so generous? After Sirius escaped, when Harry ran away from home, even the minister was alarmed and stayed up most of the night to look for the child.

If Harry did not stand clearly on the side of the Ministry of Magic, the Ministry of Magic might provide some assistance, but it would never be as caring as it is now.

Even the Ministry of Magic will go to great lengths to destroy Harry's reputation in order to make his lack of support seem less of a big deal - this is reality.

"We can be more relaxed about this matter. Fudge has promised to do all the protection work. The batters will be ready for safety work, not to mention that we still have Blake who is absolutely reliable."

"Write him back, Minerva. Harry needs the Ministry's help, and so do we."

——

"Everyone, please pay attention and search carefully from the list of possible boat lines here!"

Although Mad-Eye hasn't arrived yet, the Strikers have already begun to take action.

It is true that they think they are not as good as Aurors, but they are not fools who have to rely on Aurors for everything.

After all, they are carefully selected elites, how can they just be obedient followers?

Anyway, the captain's original words were to cooperate with the work - what happened if the Auror didn't come and they tested it in advance?

Is it a mistake to find someone in advance?

That was obviously impossible. At least they knew that they had applied for the special permission for Professor William. As long as they compared the records of the ticket-buying passengers, they could figure out the destination of the other party.

After that, the task was not that difficult. It was nothing more than getting to the place, telling the clues, and watching the Aurors perform.

However, today I was only halfway through the work before I had to stop.

Because a strange guy appeared next to the team leader, and he looked at the leader with his eyes that kept turning.

Every inch of skin on his face seems to be scarred, his mouth is like a big crooked gash, and the place where his nose should be raised is missing - one eye is small, black and shiny; the other eye is very big. , round like a coin, and a distinct bright blue.

"Playtime is over, it's time for us to go to Africa!"

He said it so rudely, but the person in charge was not dissatisfied at all.

"Mr. Moody!"

Although there is a desire to compare, the name of this legendary Auror is still respected by every striker.

"No need to be so polite, bring your people, we will go through the formalities immediately and go to Uganda to find that...Professor William who is good at hiding."

Moody's tone softened, but he sounded as sure as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Yes, I will send the signal right away, but I don't quite understand, how did you find it?"

"You guys? Your work is too rough. If you pay a little attention, you can see the Muggle administrator who has been released by the confusion spell. Just look for some traces."

"I mean, that professor..."

"He purchased the license very carefully and prepared his luggage very carefully, but the book list exposed him, as did the candies he purchased - those candies were only not sold to Africa."

"He even bought a lot of ice cream to reserve. Some Commonwealth countries still need to bring their own ice cream..."

"Ah…"

"Although he has laid many misleading traps, the following three countries are places where he may go..."

Moody pointed at the travel map with his incomplete finger, and Uganda was clearly on the list.

"Yes, I understand! Mr. Moody!"

The person in charge shouted louder.

——

"Look what this is, Harry!"

Sirius proudly displayed the reply letter from Professor McGonagall in front of Harry, who had just finished his homework.

In the letter, Professor McGonagall stated that Harry could be allowed to watch a final if safety was ensured, and the school would notify the Ministry of Magic to complete the necessary security measures.

At the same time, she once again expressed in the letter that she hoped that Sirius would not take actions that may lead to danger due to impulse - the school will try its best to cooperate with the Ministry of Magic to meet his occasional willful needs.

Harry didn't pay any attention to Professor McGonagall's talk about the dangers of control. He was just so happy that he was almost speechless.

"In other words, we can prepare to watch the game now?"

"Of course, the three of us, plus your friends!"

Sirius said decisively, "I'll get the tickets right now!"

——

While Sirius and the others were packing their bags and preparing to participate in the Quidditch match, William's experiment was still in full swing.

After a long test, he barely managed to apply the function of the time turner.

That is the stimulating effect on the herbs. As long as the herbs are given enough spell blessings, the enclosed herbs will grow and develop rapidly without sudden death or direct explosion due to magic conflict.

This is of no use - the top herbal medicines will kill you in minutes using this routine, but for less precious herbs, there is no need to use a time turner at all.

The Herbology professors at Hogwarts all have the ability to quickly multiply herbs. The area that can be affected by time shift is not enough to achieve the effect that they can get by working for a few days - so who can feed a cat with a small amount of herbs?

We also have a little clue about the application of the magic potion of the time turner. Now, after three experiments, it will explode once at most. Although the scope of action is narrower than expected, and a slightly unstable potion will definitely explode, but this is still the case. It can be regarded as a huge visible progress.

But in other respects, William has improved by leaps and bounds.

He can now use the power of the time turner to summon the future bodies of some dead things for defense work - it sounds high-end, but the actual technical content is extremely low.

To put it simply, it is to use the time turner and the suppressed power to pull some rocks, wood and other things that can resist some spells in advance, use the time turner and a little auxiliary magic and gestures to pull another one from the future. .

The stone that could withstand the next attack suddenly had an extra cover, and it took two hits to break it.

Although the principle is not clear yet, and the actual application is difficult, it can still be considered progress.

"One thing to say... This thing is not even comparable to the Transfiguration. After advanced Transfiguration, this stone can at least withstand one death curse. Now it is just two wastes coming out - to be honest, two stones may not be able to withstand one. The hair fell apart...wait, why did it disappear?"

William watched his experimental results disappear in less than three minutes, and couldn't help but complain - at least hold on a little longer!
