The man behind Hogwarts

the next day,

Classes at Hogwarts are going on as normal.

Today, their first-year Ravenclaws did not have a 'Defence Against the Dark Arts' class, but their second-year students did.

So William went to take classes again.

"Cedric, good morning."

"Hello, you're here to skip class again today. You're really diligent, William."

"I can't help it. I also want to take a rest, but I really can't take any time off. So I just came to class with you."

"Haha." Cedric pursed his lips and smiled.

William looked at his expression in surprise. When did Cedric make such a 'hehe' expression? Who led him astray... No need to ask, it must be Fran.

Alas, what a black sheep.

clang,

Class begins.

Professor Crohn walked into the classroom with his usual vigorous steps.

The appearance of an ordinary middle-aged wizard,

He is about 1.75 meters tall, with thick hair, a slightly red tip of his nose, and large and thick knuckles on both hands.

His teaching style is different from other teachers, but it is a little similar to Snape, both are strict and ruthless.

He likes to teach straightforwardly and does not like to be sloppy.

"boom"

Slapping his palm on the desk, he glanced sharply at the students in the audience and saw that every student was sitting upright.

"Old rule, first ask about what you learned in the last class..."

"Five for Slytherin."

"Five points for Hufflepuff."

"Five points from Hufflepuff."

......

He then selected a few students to ask questions. If they received satisfactory answers, they would receive extra points. If they encountered unsatisfactory answers, they would deduct points without hesitation.

William acted well and did not attract any attention.

Then finally came the part he was looking forward to. Professor Crohn took out his magic wand, and he wanted to explain the magic spells to the little wizards in a practical way.

William's eyes immediately fell on the wand.

About twelve inches long, gray-white texture, with irregular dark red stripes on the wand.

really,

A wand cannot deceive, nor can a wand do transfiguration.

The mysterious man last night was him—Professor Crohn.

William raised the corner of his mouth slightly, maybe I caught your little black claw, but I am more curious: What will happen to you this year?

Could he be a dark wizard or a Death Eater?

On second thought, I thought it was impossible.

Although Dumbledore seemed kind and gentle, he would never be so careless as to let a dark wizard be the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts;

Even if Dumbledore was careless due to his Alzheimer's disease, Snape, who was always keeping an eye on this course, would not be careless. He would definitely be looking for clues to Crohn.

Lao Si is a senior Death Eater, how could his home be stolen by his peers?

Very unlikely.

In this way, maybe his situation is similar to that of the werewolf teacher later, and there are compelling reasons.

"This is interesting, Xiaoke, you have successfully aroused my interest."

Thinking of the battle in the library last night, he still had some unfinished thoughts.

The 'Southern Star' Pentagram Seal has only been used once, but it is not satisfying... It would be better to use it ten or eight times at once to be slightly satisfied.

But he didn't dare to mess around,

Hogwarts is Dumbledore's territory, and he might discover it by accident.

If Crohn hadn't set up a barrier to isolate the inside and outside last night, he probably wouldn't have revealed this trump card. The other trump cards would have been enough to deal with last night's situation.

"I don't know if Xiaoke has the conditions for development. It just so happens that I am still in need of a sparring partner at school."

William licked his lips, his eyes a little fiery.

Although he had an advantage in the duel last night, he did not underestimate the professor at all.

He only used three or four offensive spells from beginning to end: the Confinement Curse, the Stunning Curse, and the Quagmire Confinement Curse.

There are also several auxiliary spells: invasion spell, super-sensory spell, silent spell, and iron armor spell.

The professor of the "Defense Against the Dark Arts" class, how could he only know a few spells? He probably hasn't even used one-tenth or two-tenths of his true strength.

don't say anything else,

Just the 'Iron Armor Curse' and the 'Swamp Confinement Curse' made his eyes watery.

An iron armor spell blocked all his magic attacks, and a quagmire confinement changed the terrain of half of the library. If William hadn't had many tricks on his own, he would have definitely been in trouble.

"I still have to go to the restricted area of ​​the library."

......

night,

Black clouds cover the sky, and the sun and moon sneak around.

"crunch"

A window on the second floor of the library was quietly pushed open, and a man tightly wrapped in a black robe rolled over and entered.

As soon as he entered the library, he immediately cast a silent spell to cover himself.

"Sure enough, the windows are easy to get through. No decent person can use the door."

William held Vega's tail and led him to the first floor, then to the restricted book area.

Walking through the bookshelves, there is no trace of last night's battle. Even the torn books on the bookshelves have been restored to their original state.

"One, two, three, four, here we are, this is the bookshelf."

Only then did he cast a 'fluorescence flash', and the top of the wand seemed to have a small light bulb, emitting a bright light.

The target he was looking for on this trip was the book Crohn read last night.

"There is a word 'Forgiveness Spell' on it, let me see which one it is..."

I searched them one by one,

Suddenly, a book title jumped into my eyes.

"What to do to extend your life if you've been hit by the Unforgivable Curse"

What a long title!

This kind of book title does have a certain starting point style.

He was subconsciously surprised, and then he was immediately attracted by the title of the book, followed by even greater confusion.

"I thought he wanted to learn the Unforgivable Curse...but why this?"

Is it...

An incredible thought came to mind: Could it be that Crohn himself was under the Unforgivable Curse? !

This may also explain why something happened to him this year...

Keeping this title in mind, he checked the entire bookshelf from beginning to end, and never saw a book with the word 'Forgiveness Curse' in the title; it seemed that this was the book he read last night.

William reached out and touched the book,

Just when his palm came into contact with the book cover, which was as textured as kraft paper, he suddenly stopped and felt a sense of discomfort in his heart.

It seems that something has been overlooked...

He was as motionless as a wooden man, but his thoughts were moving rapidly.

From last night's battle until he sneaked in today, there must be something that he had overlooked.

what exactly is it? ?

His brows were knitted together, thinking hard but getting nowhere.

He slowly retracted his hand, and the discomfort suddenly disappeared again...

"Weird, too weird."

While he was thinking, he glanced at the bookshelf inadvertently, and an idea came to his mind.

"This is a forbidden book area... Crohn sneaked in last night... For this reason, he didn't even attend the banquet..."

There must be some connection between them!

"Why did he specifically choose to sneak in during last night's banquet??"

Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, and he had a guess in his mind.

Thinking of the result of the guess, William decisively extinguished the 'fluorescent flash' and let Vega take him away the same way...
