From Azkaban To Hogwarts

'how so! ’

Whoosh - Harry was panting violently. He didn't know why he fell into the Death Eaters' trap. The wizards who originally smiled at him put on their hoods and took out their wands fiercely. Trying to attack him.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to discover their intentions before the other party tried to make a move, and pulled out his wand to stop the other party in time.

Then, he started to flee, but what he didn't expect was that just after he finally escaped the pursuit, an extremely terrifying wand stretched out from a remote corner...

"Expelliarmus!"

Harry tried to use his best spell to block the opponent's attack, but was suddenly awakened by himself.

He exhaled, but found a figure approaching him in the dim morning light.

'who? ’

He immediately reached for his wand and pointed it at the person. Fortunately, before he chanted the spell, he finally remembered that he was in the dormitory and not somewhere else.

The man obviously didn't know that Harry was awake yet. He walked over quietly and pushed Harry, "Harry, wake up, wake up!"

It's Ron - Harry thought.

Then he remembered everything. Before going to bed last night, he promised Ron that he would go to his tryout.

'It's too early...Wood wasn't so cruel at first...'

Looking at the sky that was only slightly brighter, Harry couldn't help but complain - he didn't sleep well last night, and the soreness caused by Professor Moody's special training was still secondary, but those dark wizards appeared from every corner. The examples that came out really scared him.

A wizard who knows nothing about it might think that what Moody said is a bit exaggerated, but it is precisely because of the training that Harry has received time and time again that he knows that if someone appears from such a hidden corner, Just how deadly.

"I woke up..."

He whispered to Ron, then climbed down gently, put on his clothes quietly, took the broom and prepared to leave without disturbing the others.

"Wait."

When he was about to go out, Harry turned around and picked up his schoolbag, put the Potions textbook for the first year in it, put it on his back, and then stood up.

Because he had to select players, he still had a lot of free time today - there was not much he could do as a seeker to select goalkeepers, he was basically the mascot standing over there.

Although he would never look down on Neville, Neville's performance in potions tutoring yesterday was really terrible. He decided to review the lower grade textbooks today.

——

"It's scary to have so many tasks..."

William glanced at the pile of transfiguration-related textbooks, which were a bit overwhelming.

In fact, he had read many of the contents in other books, but this did not help except to make reading more boring - it was a matter of life, and there was no room for sloppiness. He did not want to end up missing something because of missed reading. What to regret.

'According to Black's previous statement, they actually developed a way to help others. Peter Pettigrew was the one who was forcibly transformed... Unfortunately, this kind of secret method can't be asked... Why? It looks like you are trying to get benefits from other people's children and parents...'

His understanding of the magic world started from the magic systems taught by masters and apprentices. Naturally, he also knew that there were some exclusive things that he would not share or ask about - maybe Sirius didn't care, but what if Sirius did? ?

Besides, Nu Li was reading a book and had Dumbledore's promise. He wasn't worried about problems with his transformation, so why did he have to ask about other people's secrets and cause discomfort to everyone?

"I'd better forget about those things and work hard to read and try to get four books today!"

He secretly cheered himself up.

——

"It's already noon, and the professor is actually in the office the whole time..."

"More than that, I heard that someone went in to ask the professor about a spell he didn't understand, and then saw a table full of Transfiguration textbooks."

hiss…

Even though they were in seventh grade and didn't have to worry about test papers at all, the twins still took a big breath of air.

Now there is no doubt. It is obvious that the self-defense professor who studied hard on the Transfiguration textbook cannot be planning to switch to teaching Transfiguration. After all, Principal McGonagall, the oldest among the Transfiguration professors, seems to be able to confine students for another thirty or forty years. No problem, there is obviously no shortage of professors in this class.

Then, the only possibility is what they deduced.

The twins high-fived each other to thank the school for the reforms in their last year - if they were still in the fifth grade, this would definitely not be a good thing, but now they are graduating, and their younger brother is still in the fifth grade.

This is simply double the joy!

"Go to medicine!"

"Walk!"

The two exchanged glances and ran directly towards the secret base, the Room of Requirement - when the fifth graders faced a sudden increase in test papers, it was time for the entire fifth grade class to bask in their grace!

——

"I'm still a little nervous, Harry..."

Ron looked at the people training on the court and felt a little guilty.

In particular, the goalkeeper in the trial performed very well - which made him nervous.

Just yesterday, he was still happy that he passed the preliminary examination, but today, his ambition suddenly became a little bigger.

Being a student who is said to be good at Quidditch is obviously not as happy as becoming an official player. He sincerely hopes that the Gryffindor house team will have a very, very good goalkeeper, but paradoxically hopes that he is the best performer. The good one.

"ah?"

Harry raised his head and put down the textbook in his hand - Ron had been watching the game chatting and laughing before, but now he suddenly became so nervous.

After coming out in the morning, he helped Ron train for about two hours. After breakfast, considering that the assessment required physical strength, they stopped training and began to review some conventional throwing methods and routes.

Ron was still full of confidence until the official selection began. Harry then looked at the Potions textbook with confidence and gave Ron time to finalize the broom and sort out the status. But how many minutes had it been?

But he can only feel relieved - he can't reveal the habitual scoring routes and shortcomings of his teammates... This is a serious violation. Only regular players like Harry will talk about it again and again when Wood talks about it. Familiar with training.

Fortunately, Ron didn't have much time to worry as he was soon called up to take the re-examination.

First fly, then pounce. The tricky goals from all the chasers are very simple and very practical.

Harry put down the book in his hand and read the entire test of Ron - to be honest, it was far worse than Wood...

Ron's performance was extremely unstable. He performed very well with a few thrilling goals, but almost made fatal mistakes on ordinary goals - but even so, Ron still didn't miss a single ball.

So Harry gave Ron a thumbs up when he came back.

"so far so good!"

Ron was a little excited. He was the best performer among the retesters - good players like Wood were not easy to find, which led to the average quality of the goalkeeper trials.

What Harry couldn't bear to look at was that when he was reading a book and watching the selection of other people, he found that they were very different in personality...

This made the Quidditch tryouts look rather low-quality - after finally getting to the end, Angelina selected Ron as the keeper.

"He must do more practice. His performance is too unstable. The chasers will stay for a while today and feed him the ball all morning, and the rest will disperse..."

While Ron was registering his name and getting some official team member benefits, captain Angelina announced this, and then asked the others to go back today.

Harry stayed on the field, watching the balls being fed again and again, but soon he wandered off to read the Potions books in the stands - the process of feeding the balls was too boring, and he This old player can't stand it anymore.

——

"Well... potions are still a bit interesting..."

After the potion completely lost its connection with Snape, Harry discovered that it was not that boring after all.

He actually didn't seem to have mastered many potions - after he entered first grade, the Potions textbook had an unforgettable hatred for him.

Unless he had to review before an exam, he never looked at the Potions textbook seriously, because when he saw it, Harry couldn't help but think of Snape's face and the gift he gave Gryffin. Lots of extra points deducted.

But after putting aside these prejudices, he felt that the potion was actually not that bad - the mistakes he made back then actually seemed a bit ridiculous now, but he was more willing to believe that it was because of Snape's influence. That way.

"If only Professor William taught Potions, or Professor Slughorn came to school earlier..."

While he was looking at a potion that only juniors could brew, he was thinking about some things and suddenly moved his ears vigilantly.

Before he could control himself and almost pulled out his wand, he finally recognized the two approaching men as twins.

This made him relax, pretending not to notice anything, and waited for the two of them to approach quietly - after he entered the school team, he had never seen the two of them harassing his teammates, so he was very relieved.

"Hi, Harry!"

The two sandwiched Harry between them, glanced at the stands, then smiled happily at Ron's mistake, and then said to Harry, "What are you looking at?"

"First year Potions textbook? Are you crazy, Harry?"

"We'll tell you what to see! Transfiguration!"

Fred reminded Harry half-gloatingly and half-kindly.

"Transfiguration?"

Harry looked at the twins on both sides, "Why do you remember recommending a Transfiguration textbook?"

He has no objection to Transfiguration, and even plans to look through the previous Transfiguration textbooks after this review of Potions to see if he can find any interesting inspiration, just like the Potions class, or even better than the Potions class. To look more relaxed.

"Um…"

The twins looked at each other and decided to reveal a little secret.

"It has been confirmed that there are a lot of Transfiguration textbooks in Professor William's office, so we guess that Professor McGonagall will intersperse a lot of Transfiguration papers into his teaching!"

"You must keep this matter secret, Harry. If the professor knows that we revealed this matter, it will really..."

The two quickly told Harry the truth, and repeatedly told Harry not to reveal this kind of thing to anyone else, especially fifth years.

However, to the twins' expectation, Harry didn't show how troubled he was. In other words, he just lowered his head and thought, with no trace of worry on his face.

"broken…"

The twins looked at each other and knew what kind of serious mistake they had made - because a certain professor had changed his habit of suppressing exams at the beginning of school, and the fifth graders at this moment had not really realized the horror of those papers.

And Gryffindor is definitely the most stubborn group now - it is completely useless to expect this to scare Harry.

'Paper...it doesn't seem to be impossible...'

Harry thought - he really wanted to use something like a paper to understand the true level of his Transfiguration.

To be honest, he still doesn't know what category his transformation skill falls in - if the professor hadn't known about it, he would have even thought that this was a special test to examine his level.

'It's just... why this year? The professor doesn't look like someone who would interfere in a Transfiguration class. ’

And Professor McGonagall doesn't look like a professor who plans to change his style at will - it's possible to take out the papers and take the monthly exam, but if you just go to class...

'Unless the professor wants to teach transfiguration...'

'But now that he is the director of the office, it is impossible...unless Professor McGonagall intends to let Professor William take over as the director of the office of Transfiguration...'

‘In that case, large-scale papers would be possible…’

‘But...it can’t be right? ’

Harry suddenly had a very, very strange suspicion.

"Do you think Dumbledore is ready to retire, and then Professor McGonagall is elected as the Headmaster?"

——

'Isn't Harry stupid? ’

The twins looked at each other - and then realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with Harry's guess.

This speculation is obviously more reliable than Professor McGonagall's intention to change her teaching style.

"But why did Dumbledore retire?"

The two of them had new doubts.

Harry recalled some strange words he heard from Sirius and Lupin during the summer and some of the covered-up content, "Dumbledore has been very busy during this time... He also rehired Sirius who had retired. Professor Lughorn and the retired Professor Moody.”

It makes perfect sense to learn about retirement before you retire.

"besides…"

Harry thought to himself, "Have you heard about Dumbledore teaching before? But he suddenly started taking classes this year. Although it was due to the Triwizard Tournament, this is too strange..."

This was a very good reason, and the twins didn't know how to refute it for a while - thinking about it carefully, Dumbledore seemed to be very old indeed, and he had rehired retirees last year and this year... Are they going to retire together?

Thinking of this, the two of them canceled their plans to play tricks on Ron - if Dumbledore retires this year, then... it's time to prepare a magical retirement ceremony for Dumbledore!
