The man behind Hogwarts

Thursday and Friday flew by.

There are only six classes for the first grade in these two days, namely 'Defense Against the Dark Arts', 'Transfiguration' and 'Flying' on Thursday; and 'Herbology', 'Charms' and 'History of Magic' on Friday. .

There are no changes to other classes except Defense Against the Dark Arts.

Quirrell is becoming more and more comfortable teaching this class, and seems to have adopted the style of teaching a 'Muggle Studies class'. He talks endlessly about theories and book knowledge, which can make the little wizard listen with interest.

After class, the little wizard suddenly came back to his senses - "Hey... what did you learn today?"

After the last class on Friday, we went to the cafeteria to have dinner.

When it was early six o'clock, he found Dasu and said, "Dasu, let's go."

I found a remote place,

Dasu clicked his fingers, and the two of them immediately disappeared.

The familiar discomfort came over, and William still felt dizzy, but compared to the first time he tried it, the adverse reactions were much reduced now.

After the Apparition ended, he opened his eyes and saw a country road and dim lights ahead.

"We're here, William." Dasu pointed to the light, "The village of Hogsmeade is ahead. You can enter the village first, and then take the road in the village to the station; you can also not enter the village and walk a few steps in front. It’s the Screaming Shack, there’s a road next to it and you can go directly to the station.”

"Okay, thank you Dasu."

He had found a map of Hogsmeade before, so he wasn't worried about getting lost.

Dasu opened his ears happily, "You're welcome, you're welcome."

"William, when will you come back? I will pick you up then."

"The time of return is uncertain... You don't have to come to pick me up. I have other ways to get back to school." He saw the Marauder's Map from the Weasley brothers, and he made a copy of the map.

The copied map does not have the function of the Marauder's Map showing the wizard's location, only a basic map.

On the map, he found the secret passage connecting Hogwarts and Hogsmeade - the secret passage under the Whomping Willow.

After seeing Dasu off, William walked towards the light in front.

At the entrance of the village, there are many shops and houses on both sides of a road, most of which are two-story buildings with bright or dim lights on.

Without entering the village, I turned and walked into a small road.

He didn't plan to enter the village at night. This was Hogsmeade, an authentic wizarding village filled with wizards. Who knew whether these wizards had cast any warning magic around them.

There may be various Hogwarts-like magics fixed around the village, and for the sake of confidentiality, it would be better to go to the Shrieking Shack.

Dasu was indeed right,

After a short walk we found the Shrieking Shack.

Under the moonlight, he saw what it looked like, which was what an abandoned shack should look like. The surface of the house was dusty and dilapidated, and the doors and windows were nailed shut with wooden boards.

Passing through the shack, then crossing the road in front of the shack, we finally reached the station.

Before he could get closer, he saw something beyond ordinary people's vision. A blurry black figure stood in front of the station, standing upright and motionless.

"professor?"

Hearing the sound, the dark figure strode out, and it turned out to be Professor Crohn.

"William, you're here, nothing happened." Crohn walked up to William and asked with concern.

"I'm fine." He smiled slightly, "Professor, it's not even half past six, why are you here so early?"

"I'll wait for you early."

Let’s talk a few words.

"Then shall we leave now?" Seeing William nod, Crohn took out his wand, "I will use apparation to take us there. This process will be a little uncomfortable..."

"It's okay, I've experienced it."

Crohn nodded, waved his wand slightly, and with a slight 'puff' sound, the two of them disappeared.

……

……

"The location of this fair is different every time, but it is basically chosen in a remote and uninhabited place..."

In Crohn's narration, the two walked out of a woods.

They used apparation to go directly to the woods. Crohn had already come to explore the location before, so he led the way.

"Because the gathering has just started, there are not many wizards here yet. I heard that the flow of people will be the largest after another week or so."

"Are there any requirements for participating in this rally?"

"As long as you can find this place, you can participate directly." Crohn whispered: "But because the location changes frequently, many participants use invitation letters, the kind I told you before."

William nodded and saw a small valley in the distance.

Although it was night at this time, the valley was still brightly lit. There were very bright lights standing on the four corners of the valley and in the middle of the valley, which were probably magic props.

From time to time, figures walked through the valley.

They all wear tall pointed hats, loose robes, and walk quietly. Some wizards are completely wrapped in clothes, with no trace of skin exposed.

"It feels like a legendary black market."

William followed suit, put on his hood, hid his hands in his sleeves, and held his wand.

His body is still in the development stage. He is slightly shorter than Crohn next to him, but he is still 1.6 meters tall. He looks like a not-so-tall wizard.

"How does this compare to Diagon Alley?"

"Hmm...it's hard to say."

Crohn thought for a while and said: "What does this place look like... It is more like a combination of Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, but compared to the scale of the combination of the two, this place is smaller."

"Diagon Alley is too formal. Many things that wizards need are prohibited from being sold. To be honest, the rules here are more like Knockturn Alley."

Then, Crohn explained softly.

As they approached the valley, he whispered: "We are going to give ourselves a code name, and there will be managers who will record it when we enter the valley."

"Code name..." William thought for a while, "My name is Lord of the Void."

Crohn immediately said: "In that case, my name is Void Walker."

Since William, whom he is loyal to, calls himself the Lord of the Void, as a person who has sworn to protect with a wand, he should follow him and also be called the Void.

"Void Walker, no...that's wrong..." William suddenly stopped talking and turned to look at him, Void Walker? Kassadin, is that you? ?

"Professor, why did you choose such a code name? I just came up with this code name casually. You don't have to agree with me."

"No, this is the only way it should be!"

William saw his apathetic expression, patted his arm and said nothing.

The two continued to move forward and soon came to the entrance of the valley. There were two guard-looking people standing at the door. When they saw William and the two, one of them immediately asked:

"Are you two here to attend the rally?"

"Yes."

"Excuse me……"
