The man behind Hogwarts

After a few days, William's life returned to calm.

Whether it is things at school or arrangements outside of school, everything proceeds as planned.

He is mainly busy with a few things at school, not to mention normal study and library classification; a new plan is to learn Proto-Indo-European.

Sinista may have valued William's talent and intended to teach him some private knowledge, including Proto-Indo-European and more advanced knowledge of astronomy; as for divination, William did not intend to delve into it until astronomy was understood.

Step by step, he had a plan.

There was another incident in the school that caused some commotion.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher invited by Dumbledore arrived. He was a strange wizard that William had never heard of.

He made it clear during the first class that he was just a substitute and would not be there for long. Once Quirrell or Crohn returned, he would leave.

After a few classes, everyone became familiar with his teaching style. It was not as serious as Crohn, nor as friendly as Quirrell, and generally tepid.

Things inside the school are in good order, and things outside the school are also progressing gratifyingly.

Crohn gave him 41 kinds of body substances of magical creatures. A few days ago, he asked Hagrid to buy another 13 kinds at market prices. As for the money for the purchase, it came from Crohn's friendly sponsorship.

William took a look at it himself and was surprised to find that he already had 93 types, and was only 7 short of completing the task.

According to Crohn, he has found a few more and is working on ways to obtain them.

It is foreseeable that good times are not far away.

【Explorer】

Successfully beat ten wizards, target reward: Demonic Physique [Received]

Complete a carving that satisfies you - target reward: Enchanter's Gift [Received]

Collect the body materials of one hundred kinds of magical creatures - target reward: 1 chance to draw a dependent creature (not completed)

The rewards this time are unprecedented.

In the past, rewards were given to various abilities, such as magical fitness, extraordinary memory, etc., including gifts from the enchanter, and did not involve living things.

But the dependent creatures...

Just from the name, he knew it was a living creature, and William thought it might mean a pet.

What kind of pet will it be...

Really looking forward to it.

In addition to the progress of system tasks, Crohn has another task on hand: ruins exploration.

He corresponded with Oleander several times, and reported to William immediately every time there was a situation.

Although other details have not yet been determined, the time for the operation has been determined, just after Christmas, when several people will gather and head to the ruins.

In order to be more confident when exploring the ruins, the two of them increased the time they spent learning to apparate.

William wants to learn to apparate in two weeks.

For other wizards, this plan is nothing more than a fantasy, but Crohn has great confidence in him; with William, he seems to have no limit at all, and he can complete no matter how difficult the task is.

……

After dinner time in the afternoon, calm returned to the cafeteria.

William and Professor Sinister walked out of the cafeteria side by side. As they walked, they were still talking in low voices.

If any little wizard could hear their voices, they would be surprised to find that the two of them were not speaking English, but the older Proto-Indo-European language.

"You learn quickly, and you can already have daily conversations while walking."

"Professor, you taught me well. I'm just following the progress."

Sinistra turned his eyes and saw the College Cup scoring hourglass placed outside the auditorium, and stepped forward to look at it.

"Your Ravenclaw scores are very high. Slytherins who are in second place have... 10, 20... 50 points." She approached the hourglass and counted the gems in the hourglass carefully.

"The gap is actually not that big." William said calmly: "Recently, the teachers don't like to slap me and Evelin for answering questions, so Slytherin has been able to catch up."

The difference is only 50 points, which is really not big.

He remembered that in his previous life, Dumbledore had scored more than 100 points for Gryffindor in one go, and immediately turned around and became the Academy Cup champion that year.

Only the principal can do this kind of coquettish operation.

You don't need to think about it to know what the expressions of the Slytherin snakes would be like after eating a dog poop-flavored chocolate.

Fortunately, there is no Destiny Child Harry and others this year, so such bloody things will not happen.

"The difference of 50 points is big enough."

Sinista analyzed: "According to past tradition, the gap between the first place and the second place is within 30 points. It seems that Slytherin can't surpass you."

William smiled and didn't say much, and didn't use things that hadn't happened as a case.

Turning to look at the professor next to him, he saw that her expression was quite serious. Although she was dark-skinned, her facial features were extremely harmonious.

She smiled clearly: “The reason why I didn’t slap you and Evelin for answering the questions is normal.

The reason why most teachers ask questions randomly is to check the learning progress of students. It is best to catch one or two students who do not know how to teach them a lesson, so as to seriously learn the culture.

But you and Evelin...there's really no need to slap you.

Since I know I can't help you, why bother doing useless work, you say so. "

William raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile.

Although it makes sense, that's not what you do.

In every astronomy class, she would question William and Evelyn, taking this opportunity to score a lot of points for Ravenclaw.

"Yeah! That makes sense!"

"But... Professor, you can still ask us more questions."

"It's not that we want to get extra points, we just like the feeling of being slapped and asked by you."

Hearing his words, Sinista laughed out loud and rolled his eyes at William, "You!"

She used to think that William was a rigorous person in study and gentle in life, but after getting in touch with him, she overturned her previous wrong impression.

It's true that he's rigorous and gentle, but that's not all he is.

He has a gentle and jade-like temperament in his speech and behavior, sometimes humorous, sometimes cold and majestic, sometimes taciturn...

It's unclear how many faces he has.

But one thing Sinista can be sure of is that he must be a natural leader, and all the little wizards like to move around him.

No, as soon as the two of them took two steps, several young wizards came up to talk to William.

Sinistra looked on quietly.

She saw a warm smile on William's lips, and his eyes were deep and mysterious, but when you look at him, you will see everything you want to see in those eyes, which are so fascinating.

He spoke neither too fast nor too slowly, and always controlled the rhythm of the audience. He was neither overly enthusiastic nor snubbed anyone.

"How can such a student be so unpopular?"

Sinista sighed secretly, I'm afraid it won't be long before all the students in the school will be impressed by his charm.

He is only a first- and second-year student now, but he will definitely become more powerful in the future.

His light will surely become more and more dazzling...
