From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"I'm not in school, so I use materials really quickly..."

In the laboratory, William looked at his reserve of potion raw materials, calculated the dosage, and decided to go out and buy some.

If he were at Hogwarts, most of the experimental materials could be used on campus, free and of high quality - this was one of the important reasons why his potion skills improved rapidly after he became a professor for two years.

However, there were no fresh herbs in the greenhouse for him to use at the moment, so he had to go to the magic trading market here to replenish some, and then go to the black market to see if there were any rare materials or books for sale.

Thanks to the turmoil in the Muggle world, the black market here has become extremely prosperous recently. There are more things circulating in the market and the prices have become quite affordable. Of course, it is inevitable that fakes and scammers will be rampant. matter.

After all, William still had to do experiments, so he bought some cheaper materials during this time - such as African tree snake skin and other local specialties.

He had heard of things like buying magic books, and had seen stalls selling them, but the thing looked fake as if it had just been copied yesterday, and buying it felt like an insult to himself.

After dressing up briefly and confirming that there were no easily noticeable clothing features, William began to ride his bicycle away from the garage where he rented, greeting people he knew along the way.

After riding for about fifteen minutes, he turned into a secluded corner, put away the bicycle, and then began to apparate to the land near the black market.

He would come here probably once every two or three days and was quite familiar with it - compared to the regular market, although this place was full of scammers, fakes, and thieves, the types of items traded were twice as many. If you have to make a comparison, it is probably like Knockturn Alley in London, but it is more hidden than Knockturn Alley.

"strangeness…"

William looked around and found something was wrong. Today's black market was too serious.

So, he quickly looked around and began to look at the surrounding environment.

"broom."

He immediately noticed something was wrong. At the entrance of the black market, the old broomstick that was originally placed changed direction.

Although he doesn't quite understand the twists and turns of the black market here - it's too far away, and even prisoners as far away as Azkaban have never done smuggling and fraud business here, but the rules of the black market in the world can How much difference?

If something that is conspicuous and does not attract attention suddenly changes its direction, it must be that something unusual has happened, and a sign has been put up to inform the knowledgeable guys.

As for those who don’t know anything, I’m sorry. They have to show their performance once they come here, otherwise it will be difficult to open the black market.

Although he was very curious in his heart whether the local handlers were also called beaters, William still resisted the idea of ​​watching the excitement, staggered and walked directly towards another passage, and rolled on the ground when he was about to pass the corner. The wand was aimed directly at the easiest hiding place observed previously.

Several stun spells were almost connected together, hitting directly at the easiest hiding places.

And yet, no one—that kind of fishing enforcement doesn’t exist, at least not today.

But the probing attack spell hit the wall and ground where William was aiming, making a huge noise.

William didn't even blink, and just apparated on the spot.

Of course, those stun spells will alarm the people inside, but compared to alarming them, risking being caught and rashly walking into a side road is the real stupid thing - you can't go back at the entrance of the black market, he If you dare to turn around and leave, the alarm will be triggered immediately, and you won't even be able to apparate.

How can I put it, that is a necessary restriction - if someone blocks the door and casts the anti-Apparition spell, it will really be a disaster.

As for whether anyone will be arrested because of his temptation in the future, I can only say sorry...

Purchasing on the black market is originally a gray line, but to put it bluntly, it means a small fine or even a warning.

As for chasing and killing, there is no need to worry about the people behind. Before the Dark Lord is resurrected, it is impossible for the other party to harm people in this situation.

——

"The sound of a curse exploding!"

"Go search quickly!"

The batters who were originally asking questions accompanied by local batters immediately summoned their broomsticks and quickly flew in the direction of the explosion.

The store owner, who faced the inspection with a smile on his face, did not change his expression and cursed secretly in his mind.

‘Where did that *** come from! The sign over there is so obvious, it gives you a chance to run away, but in the end, you want to use magic here. Are you crazy? ’

Don't blame him for swearing. The beaters came to them to ask about the strangers they met recently. They who opened the shop must cooperate in this matter. They are not those scammers who just open with rags and run away. What should I do if I can’t leave the store and won’t cooperate?

The brooms were all put out, and they were told to go straight around the fork in the road. They had to use some magic to call the beater over. Isn't this crazy?

After being under British colonial rule for many years, the local Ministry of Magic was almost based on the British Ministry of Magic. The relationship was also good. People came over and asked for cooperation. Forget about pretending to end the process. I had to do these unhappy things. matter!

'One makes people more worried than the other...'

He complained, "The batter saw that business was good these days, so he brought people to the Huohuo Market. Those idiots who crowded in didn't know anything, so they had to mess things up." ’

'I don't know how much gold it will take to get it done this time. It's getting harder and harder to deceive people these days. I only made a few bucks from doing business...'

"Let's have some black tea. Authentic British black tea. We managed to get it. The market is not very good these days... You see, if there is a slight improvement, the people next door will secretly use magic attacks to create a dangerous atmosphere and prevent customers from coming to our place. side…"

No matter which idiot you catch, beat him to death and deny that he belongs to your own market - the bosses around him will definitely cooperate and kill him in one bite. He is the one sent by the neighbor to influence the business.

That idiot's legs and feet had better be sharper. If he ran away without witnesses, it would be even easier to deceive him!

He pretended to greet the striker, winked at the boss selling smuggled goods next door, and then nodded - after more than ten years of being trapped in the trap, everyone still had this tacit understanding.

"Report, the other party immediately disapparated and ran away! It looks like he came well prepared, it's already too late for us to rush over!"

Very good! This is so easy to deceive!

——

"Hair first."

William casually took out half a bottle of potion and applied some on his hair, causing his hair to return to its previous color. Although the color of his hair remained almost unchanged after the modification, anyone with a little knowledge would smell it. Smells strongly of dye.

"The perfume on my body..."

He carefully removed the smelly potion packets, and then released the magic on his body to prevent the smell.

"The decoration of clothes..."

Several trinkets that would obviously attract others' attention were removed, then the coat was turned over, and the transformation spells on both sides were removed.

"Shoe prints..."

The deformed soles returned to their original shape, and the mud was cleaned up.

Then there were products made by transfiguration similar to contact lenses and other miscellaneous odds and ends.

All this took William ten minutes. He then got on his bike and started back to his residence.

"Although I have prepared a lot - but I may not be able to hold it off...after all, those guys who told me these tips all live in Azkaban..."

William was thinking as he rode, and then he began to apparate into an empty garage in the next secluded place.

Quickly using his wand to disrupt the traces left by the Apparition, he began to quickly and thoroughly clear away the traces of his life.

Then, leaving the empty garage and moving on to the next one, he started again.

'It's a pity... Li Huo's counterattack still can't be carried out in an unmanned state. Otherwise, just use Li Huo to burn it once, and all the problems will be solved. ’

William thought this while using spells to clean up the traces left by life.

The important experimental data were taken away, and all that could not be taken away were destroyed with magic, and then a potion to resist investigation was poured on them - this cheap potion can easily block the use of a large number of common detection magics, and William often used it to process test papers to prevent Students cheat.

"Fortunately, I don't have any obvious personal style when configuring this potion, otherwise it would not be easy to use it so wantonly."

The cleanup work was carried out in an orderly manner. After all the materials were destroyed and no active materials remained, William happily closed all the garage doors and then carried the suitcase to the community management staff.

"I got a job, Mr. Bob."

William carried the suitcase, "But time is very urgent, so I'm afraid I don't have time to say hello to everyone and leave."

"Really? This is rare good news. On behalf of everyone, I would like to thank you for your efforts during this time."

Mr. Bob grinned. Times are bad, and good news is a good thing.

"This is what it should be. Besides - by the way, here are the remaining tuition fees from the summer. I hope you can help me pay them back."

William said to the old administrator, then turned around and left with his luggage under his sincere blessing.

The money has been processed and cannot be predicted by divination, let alone using it as a medium to locate curses and the like. As a former pharmacist, he is very familiar with the application of wizards' active substances, such as Polyjuice Potion. The gadget can even copy people.

Combined with the polyjuice potion, some curses can even directly connect the person who drinks the potion with the provider of the active substance - William has a similar curse that can make the other party lose hair, and he doesn't think the Dark Lord will be inferior to him.

Although there is still some time left in the summer vacation, he does not intend to stay in this place where he may be severely punished. Although it is unlikely, what if the Dark Lord really has his head turned and wants to come to him?

It's not that he was bragging about himself - if he were the Dark Lord, he found out that there was a person who was carrying his curse and doing better and better. He was almost an old employee. He also wanted to chase the guy to the door and ask him a question by his collar. Do you look down on me?

Lupine could at least use Harry's protective magic. How could he, a person with such hatred, survive if he was not careful?

Although the summer cram school was gone, it was just like that. It was just another place to conduct experiments. He didn't need to cherish the materials to fix the spell, so he didn't feel bad at all.

"I originally planned to go shopping later, but now I have to move forward a little earlier. Be careful these days. If the other party is really determined to catch up, I have to be prepared to run away at any time!"

He didn't know how the former Auror Moody overturned, so he didn't plan to fight back this time - as long as he ran away, it would be considered a success.

"For safety reasons, I may need an owl to contact foreign aid..."

"To be conservative, I need to contact Dumbledore and even apply for a door key..."

William put the suitcase away and changed his face again - 'But it is too difficult for a private person to apply for a door key...'

"Tsk, Commonwealth countries...this thing is really easy to use..."

——

"Keep asking!"

After a busy day, there was no gain. He was even provoked by someone on that fork in the road. The leader of the strike team was a little confused - he was discriminated against by Mad Eye for doing his job. It didn't matter if he didn't do this or that. He was also criticized. Reality slaps you in the face!

Originally, there were top Aurors saying that they were trash all day long, but the guys in the black market here tried to prove that what Mad-Eye said was true!

How unreasonable!

This is the largest black market in Uganda. If Professor William really comes to Uganda, he will not miss it.

They have been searching in the last country for a week, and they have to find something useful this time. The end of the last search was notified by Mad-Eye himself. The group of them is working frantically to inquire about it. Crazy The eye-catcher directly announced that the professor was not here, so there was no need to waste any effort.

‘If we can’t find Professor William, we have to catch a few smugglers to vent our anger! ’

Although there is a hint of transnational law enforcement, the relationship with the British headquarters here is good, and it is impossible to care about such a small matter - to be precise, he also knows the other party's thoughts, and blackmails the local store in the name of helping them. After you're done, scold them and those who came over, and you'll get money without getting a bad reputation.

They were familiar with this trick - the beater often teamed up with the Aurors to do severe beatings, and then threw the blame on them, explaining how much they had done to protect the opponent, and then asked for money...

Just as he was thinking about these messy things, the sound of clattering wooden legs came closer again.

The face of the top Auror appeared again, and the terrifying evil eye turned around the boss and stared directly at him.

"I found the location of Professor William. I think we can visit him with a little preparation."

Mad-Eye grinned, his face full of pride.

Well - although it was far from his most difficult battle, this event really relaxed his muscles that had become stalemate after retirement.

'Sure enough, Albus is right, I should work for a while longer. ’
