From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Train your running ability well, start running, start running!"

William shouted to the fifth grade students and walked towards the tree not far away.

Next to the tree, a ghost poked its head out from time to time. It looked funny, as if it was stuck - but ghosts will not be stuck.

‘That’s strange. Although not many ghosts come to talk to us now, and we only see them once or twice a month, they actually didn’t go to my office but came here instead? ’

He was really curious - to be honest, he was one of the top ten wizards in the British wizarding world who knew about ghosts, and he knew their personalities very well.

Although ghosts are neither afraid of the sun nor wizards, they still prefer to stay in some dark corners - not for anything else, but mainly for the quietness.

If you reduce the life of a ghost to the life of a normal wizard, you will find how torturing it is - after about an hour or less, a group of noisy villains will rush over. , do something weird to interrupt your meditation.

It's even scarier when placed in Hogwarts. It's almost as if an ordinary wizard takes a nap, and a whole new group of little villains appear, and then they brave the same stupidity and make the same mistakes, even if you finally find them. Even if you hide in a place where there are few people around you, there will still be a group of little ghosts holding wands and noisily shouting for adventure while you sleep.

Therefore, almost no ghosts will come to this kind of place - only those who have just become ghosts will wander around with such curiosity, but they will soon get tired of this kind of exploration.

Because it's too easy - ghosts don't get hungry, don't get tired, rarely get hurt, can't be blocked by obstacles, and have a rather limited range of movement... it's too easy to get bored.

'A new ghost coming to Hogwarts? I hope he can endure Peeves' torture...'

William shook his head silently - in fact, several ghosts plan to come to Hogwarts to settle every year, but they are either scared away by the students' strong curiosity, or they are scared away by Pippi who does not look like a ghost at all. The ghost was scared away.

But that's not a big problem. The ghost won't really be hurt anyway. For William, it's more important to find out how this person died - although the Dark Lord is most likely in the United States, but if he is here It is possible to secretly kill a wizard and prepare some evil plan...

But alas - it's an old ghost.

"Hello, why do you suddenly think of this place?"

Now that he's here, William asked in passing - he had forgotten the name of this familiar-looking ghost, but he still had to say hello.

"I'm thinking about something, and I don't know whether I should tell you, Professor."

He spoke slowly.

"Ah? Is there anything new?"

There aren't many things in Hogwarts that can be hidden from ghosts. Except for a few highly protected offices, they even occasionally pass through the professor's common room - but ghosts are never willing to tell others what they see. That's it.

"A group of students are making mistakes... Just like what happened countless times in the castle... They are always like that, thinking that they are the right ones..."

The ghost sighed melancholy, still a little confused...

"Stupid?"

William smiled, "It's so normal. At their age, do you think they can be extremely correct? As long as they don't go astray, it's no big deal to make some mistakes."

He glanced at the running students over there and pointed his finger, "Did you see those over there? They are in fifth grade. You said they are more mature than before. That's for sure. But when it comes to being stupid, even if you don't punish them, The accusation, don’t say how far, just ten years - who would dare to face up to everything they did back then in ten years?”

The oldest student at Hogwarts is only eighteen years old. If this was not the magical world but the online world, it wouldn't take ten years for every student to hide their previous spaces, friend circles, etc., and they wouldn't dare to Face it, isn't it normal to be stupid or something?

"That's true, Professor."

The ghost laughed, and he remembered the legend about the truth about the Philosopher's Stone that was very popular among the ghosts back then - when the Potter just came to school, there would be ghosts following him from time to time. Look at this so-called Will our savior break away from that low-level stupidity and become different?

Facts have proved - as long as you are that age, no matter who you are, you cannot escape the evaluation of a stupid kid.

Anyway, the ghost time is long and boring, and there is no waste at all. There are a few idle and powerful ghosts who follow this stupid kid all the way - scolded by Snape, behaved inconspicuously in class, and excelled in flying lessons. , stayed up all night and sneaked out of the castle...

No different - no different from the stupid kids at Hogwarts over the years, or maybe none of them are actually very smart...

It wasn't until the Sorcerer's Stone was protected that the ghosts viewed him differently - but it wasn't much better. After all, a first-year kid who didn't even know a few magics was planning to face off against him. Professor in understanding, if not for luck...

"Let me guess..." William hesitated, "Do the seniors think it's unfair?"

People don't suffer from scarcity but from inequality - the students in the past were treated differently and the students now are treated differently. Even if he were a senior, he would feel uncomfortable...

But to be judged as stupid repetition by a ghost is more than just dissatisfaction...

"Professor, your guess is correct. No wonder everyone praises you..."

The ghost was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Those guys still think they can show off their cleverness and make you admit your mistakes..."

"As expected..."

William shook his head helplessly, "But you guessed it wrong - seventh graders are actually a bit cunning..."

Some people must feel that they are very smart, while others are just venting their dissatisfaction or stress - the peculiar system of Hogwarts allows students to accumulate stress when they take the OWLs exam in the fifth grade, and then accumulate it when they graduate in the seventh grade. another wave of pressure.

There's nothing unforgivable about pulling a prank - it's just as understandable as tearing up a book near a college entrance examination, it's just that you need to clean up after being caught.

"And how are you going to stop them, Professor?"

"Why stop it?"

William shook his head, spread his hands, and looked at the students in the distance with a smile, "Let them take the fifth grade exam. Whoever loses will be punished..."

He wanted to see what kind of trouble these students could get up to.

Only with the limited skills of one person and the combined efforts of everyone can he create enough traps to test the fifth grade students - he doesn't know what kind of situations he will encounter in the future, so it is a good thing for the students to experience it in advance.

Anyway, he is keeping an eye on the students and is not worried about anything happening to them - if the fifth graders pass the exam, then the seventh graders' wish will be fulfilled, but if the trap is broken by the fifth graders, that's another matter. Now, it’s time to settle the accounts later in the year.

——

"Huh...huh..."

Ron gasped and ran to Harry's side - he even wanted to do the papers now.

It seems that these fifth-grade students are envied by the senior students with red eyes, but they themselves know best what the current curriculum is like.

That means run away, run away and run away quickly...

To put it bluntly, since the curriculum reform, they have not even learned the spell that can kill flies...

At the beginning, the class was quite fresh, and everyone thought it would get better. But now, if the professor hadn't been so powerful, they would have started to protest.

Simply put, self-defense courses are either defense or escape - and there is an assessment line that firmly stands on that side.

The professor said that as long as you can beat Harry in a duel, you can learn whatever you want, but why fight with that pervert?

Now the entire fifth grade knows that Harry is good enough to fight, even one against three - last time the professor asked three students of the same grade to surround Harry, but the three students were found by Harry after the stalemate lasted for less than five minutes. All flaws have been eliminated...

"It's just beyond words..."

Ron leaned on Harry for a few steps and finally calmed down a little - it was simply too much. He was obviously a member of the Quidditch House team, but in the end he was knocked down...

"Okay, don't talk casually while running, be careful of getting distracted..."

Harry, who was well trained, told Ron in a low voice, and then started running - the professor seemed to be talking to someone over there, but he was not sure... maybe it was a ghost...

"Okay! Everyone, please stop, relax a little, and listen to me!"

The professor over there shouted loudly.

"Next, everyone will return to the castle early, and then come to the castle's - um, fifth floor to report to me."

"The first place to arrive will add fifteen points to the college! Five points will be deducted for the college with less than the largest number of students!"

"Don't be anxious, wait until I tell you to start, otherwise it will be considered a violation!"

William looked at the castle in the distance with a smile while lecturing the students, expecting to leave enough time for the seniors to set up traps.

This group of students is really about to graduate and they are given a big gift - it is to help with exams and to establish their reputation, which is really touching.

'I'll go find the culprit later... They must be happy to meet me. ’

William smiled cheerfully, and then shouted to the playful fifth graders below, "Everyone, get ready! Start!"

——

"what's the situation?"

The twins were observing outside a well-positioned empty classroom - the fifth graders were back, but it wasn't get out of class time yet.

Although they hoped that this was the professor's sudden decision to end get out of class early, years of struggle experience and experience in confinement told them that something was fishy and they had to run quickly.

But the two of them suppressed the sudden desire to escape.

The prank has been done, and the promise of taking the blame has been made, so why run away - if Dawei is caught and put in solitary confinement, he will be doing justice to himself.

This was the biggest prank they had ever pulled, and even inspired many friends and classmates.

Moreover, to be honest, their prank this time is not just a prank - it is meant to test the fifth grade students. If they can't get past those traps, it will prove that the professor's efforts during this period are all wrong.

They have never been superstitious about authority. Even in the presence of Dumbledore, the two of them dared to do some tricks of one kind or another - singing funny songs, making jokes about the principal, and even trying to figure out the age line. Such things have been done, so isn’t it normal to question the professor?

"We are the ones who are right, we must let the professor see it!"

Fred and George looked at each other and nodded.

"Yeah, I'm watching."

The sudden sound in the air made the two of them stunned like stone sculptures - when?

In the surprised gazes of the two people, William emerged from the shadows.

Having been at Hogwarts for so long, he knew very well that the viewing angle was the best. It was not too difficult to cast a disguise spell on himself and easily climb up the castle with the help of vines.

But he didn't expect that he could catch it so accurately this time.

"Want to sit in my office for a while?"

William greeted the two of them with a smile, and then he heard a dry voice of agreement.

"Then let's go."

It was expected that the strength of the student trap below would be delayed for a while, so he stopped waiting there and asked these two guys, who were obviously the leaders, what they had planned.

The twins followed William dejectedly - being imprisoned was nothing, but the mischief had just begun...

William didn't feel anything at all. He smiled and looked back from time to time to see if the two of them had any new bad ideas...

However, this seemingly ordinary journey suddenly stopped halfway.

William stopped - Peeves suddenly appeared in the corridor ahead, with a serious look on his face.

This is unusual, very unusual…

William could guarantee that he had never seen Peeves like this.

It's so serious that it just doesn't look like it... There is no chalk, no big dung eggs, no water-filled balloons or smelly socks or other props in the hand, to be precise, no prank props.

As a wizard who has dealt with ghosts a lot, William still knows a little about Peeves, and since William entered the school, he has never seen Peeves blocking the professor in their office.

But what is this today?

William found that his wand had been drawn out, but Peeves had no intention of moving.

This is so unusual - William suddenly remembered the Peeves outbreak recorded in the school history...

‘Are you kidding me, is this the day? ’

He felt a bit toothache - damn, the students were still conducting an interesting assessment, and the portrait was still staring at him. Could it be that today was canceled because of this accident?

Just when William was about to report to Dumbledore, Peeves suddenly fell down and moved next to the twins. Then he took off his funnel-shaped hat and saluted to the two of them.

This scene was very rare, but William's mind suddenly started to stir. The Peeves song he had heard before suddenly emerged, and he suddenly understood the meaning of the song at that time.

'After a grand frontal prank, in the moonlight...'
