The man behind Hogwarts

"Principal, are you looking for me?"

William knocked on the door of the principal's office and said hello to Fawkes, to the many portraits of the principal on the wall, and to Dumbledore.

"A very polite little wizard!"

"Looks exactly like me when I was young, don't you Dumbledore?"

"Amazing little wizard..."

The portraits of the principals spoke one after another, some were kind, some were serious.

Dumbledore first responded to the portraits one by one, and then talked with William.

He took out a book and periodical and handed it to William.

"Is it "Wizard Weekly" again?" William took the book and periodical, subconsciously thinking it was a weekly magazine, because he had received it several times, always because he published his own articles.

Look at the book cover.

"The Quibbler"

Why is this?

"There was an article published in it about the attack on Borgin and Burke's store in Knockturn Alley. Is the mysterious wizard in it you?" Dumbledore asked directly.

"I think it should be..."

William opened the book and found the first report.

"It's too exaggerated." William smiled and shook his head. "Aside from the correct characters, everything else is speculation, and it is also a serious conspiracy theory speculation... The mysterious wizard will lead the werewolves to re-enter the world stage... and even begin to expand. Revenge against the wizard..."

Good idea, but lack of factual evidence.

I have always heard that "The Quibbler" likes to report on unusual people, such as conspiracy theories and occult theories, but I didn't expect that they would pay attention to this incident.

Hmm... Luna seems to be the young master of "The Quibbler".

Thinking of Luna, William's evaluation of this report became wild and wild.

"Yes, the mysterious wizard whose identity is unknown inside is me." William confirmed.

"Why are you related to werewolves, and also in Knockturn Alley?" Dumbledore felt a little headache. In just two weeks, his student had done such a big thing.

The first time he saw the report, he thought of William.

This kind of thing seems to have happened before... at the opening ceremony a few months ago...

William took the lead in beating people, and Evelin acted as an accomplice. After a little thought, Dumbledore felt that the incident in Knockturn Alley was almost a replica of the opening ceremony.

"Principal, all your questions can be answered with this."

William smiled and used a transfiguration spell to create a long sheepskin scroll.

Dumbledore took it curiously, and after a few glances he was fascinated. It wasn't until he saw the conclusion in the scroll that he took a long breath and looked a little excited.

"Is everything in it true?"

"Exactly!"

"Where's the sun bracelet? Do you have the real thing here?"

"Leave it all to Fandel... He is the giant white wolf in the report." William said, "He is the store manager I hired to help me sell sun bracelets.

As for the sun bracelet, I haven’t had time to find the raw material mulberry tree. "

"Do you need a mulberry tree?" Dumbledore murmured a few words. He believed that more than one mulberry tree was needed to refine the Sun Bracelet, but he did not continue to ask. The refining formula was extremely secret.

Dumbledore then asked: "If there is a mulberry tree, can you refine one and let me take a look?"

At this moment, he was eager to check the effectiveness of the sun bracelet with his own eyes.

As a famous wizard, Dumbledore had profound knowledge in various subjects, including alchemy.

When Merlin refined the Resurrection Stone, Dumbledore was also one of his helpers...

Many things in Hogwarts are the product of his alchemy.

There is a deeper reason...

Dumbledore thought of one of his former students, Lupin. Remus Lupine was someone Dumbledore tried to recruit into the school, and that was when he learned of his werewolf identity.

In order to allow Lupine to successfully spend the full moon night, he specially helped him dig a secret passage under the Whomping Willow leading to the outside of the school, so that he could turn into a werewolf in the Shrieking Shack without harming others.

"Lupine should be in Yorkshire now. If you can give him a sun bracelet, wouldn't it be possible for him to apply for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher..."

Once an idea sprouts, it springs up like mushrooms after a rain...

"Originally, my plan was to find Lockhart. He is a liar who is just trying to gain fame. I can just use the curse to reveal his true identity and bring the truth to the victims of wizards..."

"If Lupine can do it, he would be a better choice..."

William didn't know what Dumbledore was thinking, and said frankly: "No problem, I can make one in an hour."

"Great!" Dumbledore slapped the table and stood up.

"Fox, ask Snape to get some raw materials from the mulberry tree... By the way, what part of the mulberry tree do you need?"

"Just a tree trunk."

Dumbledore nodded, and Fawkes, the Phoenix, turned into a ball of flame and disappeared into the principal's room.

A bird that can apparate...

William looked a little moved.

In the entire magical world, the phoenix is ​​an extremely precious magical creature.

Their talents and instincts are extremely strong, and the most talked-about ones are their ability to resurrect from the ashes and the tears of the phoenix.

Strictly speaking, Fawkes did not use Apparition, but a higher instinct, similar to that of a house elf.

Wizards who use Apparition need to consider whether there are countercurses at the starting point and destination, but they don't need to. Even within Hogwarts, they can achieve spatial displacement.

"Jax, add another task, research the ability of the Patron Saint to transform into a rainbow. I always feel that after the fusion of my Patron Saint and the Five-ray Seal, it should be able to take me to transform into a rainbow."

"Roger, the mission has been established." Jarvis's cold voice sounded.

"Is there any news coming from your subsystem?"

"Yes, everything is normal." Jarvis said briefly, "Fander has been in the bookstore these days. Fortunately, he only opened the book cover and did not read each book in full. The store owner did not drive him away."

"Oh, still no money."

William sighed. He really had no money at the moment. He thought that when the sun bracelets started selling, he would have more funds on hand.

There are many alchemical items for sale in ancient ruins, but since you have the Sun Bracelet, there is no need to worry.

While thinking, Fawkes appeared with a "bang" and followed Professor Snape into the office.

"Dumbledore, the mulberry tree trunk...William, you are here too."

"Hello, Professor Snape." William stood up and said hello.

"Snape, give the thing to William," Dumbledore said.

In a small box that stretches seamlessly, there is a half-meter-long tree trunk with gray-white bark and red lines. Yes, it is the trunk of a mulberry tree.

Snape said: "This thing has been stored for a long time. I don't know if it is still useful."

"No problem, okay." William took the box...

Seeing that Dumbledore was a little anxious, William proposed to refine it immediately, and Dumbledore immediately agreed.

Snape looked away from William and looked at the principal suspiciously. What did he mean by refining?

Refining what?

Seeing his curiosity, Dumbledore laughed.

"You'll understand after just one look at this." Pushing the parchment scroll over.

After a while, Snape sighed, "That's it."

Has this little wizard actually come this far? As long as the sun bracelet is true, as its inventor and creator, William will have great reputation in the world...

Damocles, who invented the Wolfsbane potion, was awarded the Order of Merlin, Third Class.

As an activity organized by the Ministry of Magic, the Order of Merlin has an extraordinary status in the wizarding world...

Snape wanted it very much.

As a famous potion master in Britain, Snape has always wanted to get a medal, but he has never succeeded.

The full name of the Order of Merlin is "The Order of Merlin". It is divided into three levels, from high to low, first, second and third.

Even for the third-level Order of Merlin, which is the worst, the conditions for winning it are very high.

——To recognize individuals who have “contributed to our knowledge or entertainment”.

The last person to receive the third-class medal was Gilderoy Lockhart, the "Great Forgotten Master".

As he thought about it, Snape gradually became mentally unbalanced...

"Damn it!" He didn't know whether it was Lockhart or William he hated.

In less than an hour, William came back with a wooden bracelet in his hand.

Dumbledore asked: "William, can I use magic to sense it?"

"can."

The magic power is turned into a sensing thread, which is explored along the sun bracelet, and the efficacy of the bracelet is judged through the induction of magic power and magic power...

This method can only be done by a great magician like him, because ordinary wizards need the assistance of a wand to cast spells, let alone perform such subtle operations.

Dumbledore failed.

Although the sun bracelet reverberated with magic power, he failed to judge the efficacy of the bracelet...

"You used a unique technology in the bracelet...a technology that is very different from alchemy..."

"That's right." William nodded, "I used two refining methods, one is magic and the other is alchemy."

He didn't mind saying the enchanted name, just like he didn't hide Crohn's name in the first place.

Just a name.

Instead of trying every possible means to keep it secret, it is better to reveal a little information, which will do no harm to you anyway.

"Magic?"

Dumbledore and Snape looked at each other, seeing confusion in each other's eyes. Neither of them had heard of this term.

"Principal, I plan to publish this article in "Wizard Weekly" and then open a store to sell it. What do you think?" William asked.

"Okay." Dumbledore said thoughtfully, "But you'd better attach real data about a werewolf to add some credibility."

"I have this idea too." William smiled.

"William, although you have to open a store and run it, you are still a student at Hogwarts and your studies cannot be neglected."

"Yeah, I have fully entrusted the store affairs to Fandel."

"I believe in you. You have always been mature and decisive."

Leaving the principal's office, William had a slight smile on his face.

To his surprise, his previous affairs were endorsed by Dumbledore, which not only solved his worries about the battle in Knockturn Alley, but also gained greater freedom for himself.

"William, where are you going?"

In the corridor, Fred called to William, then came up to him enthusiastically and whispered: "George and I successfully went to Hogsmeade through the secret passage. We are going there again tonight, do you want to come with us? "

"It took you so long?"

"It's been a long time. You don't know how ferocious the Whomping Willow is. You can't even defend yourself with clothes that are twenty centimeters thick..."

"That's strange. The Whomping Willow is very gentle to me."

"Ah..." Fred was speechless and said angrily: "William, how about we go together tonight? I heard that Hogsmeade is more lively at night."

Walking to the corner, Fred described tonight's action very well, saying it was the highest level of night outing for first and second grade students...

"Hogsmeade is more lively at night?" William looked at him with a half-smile.

As if I have never been there, the Wizard Village is very deserted at night.

"Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Uh-huh..." Fred finally told the truth. It turned out that when he and George also had Hogsmeade at that time, they bumped into a hooded wizard and frightened them, so they wanted to go on an adventure with William.

William naturally refused, he was not interested in such night activities.

I didn't expect that the Weasley brothers were so courageous. A night tour in Hogwarts Castle was not enough, and they wanted to take a night tour of Hogsmeade...the two places have different levels of danger.

"Don't leave in a hurry." Fred grabbed William who was about to leave and said again:

"Do you still have the club invitation you gave me before?"

"what happened?"

"After this year's freshmen enroll, you can give me another spot. I have already identified a candidate, and he will definitely pass the review of your club."

Fred was full of confidence and seemed very confident in the candidate he was looking for.

"New student?" William asked with a strange expression: "The person you are talking about is not Harry Potter, is it?"

"Hey, you know it too?!"

Sure enough, it was Harry Potter.

It turns out that the Weasley brothers also received the news that among the new students this year was the famous Harry Potter. They all agreed that Harry Potter must be a very talented little wizard.

"He has already made such a fuss before he even entered school..."

William felt the power of Harry Potter for the first time.

Or the power of Lord Voldemort behind Harry Potter.

A swaddled baby killed the most terrifying Voldemort, and a lightning pattern appeared on his forehead. All this made wizards believe that Harry Potter was born extraordinary.

The Weasley brothers do.

Draco did.

Most wizards are like this...

"How do you know he will definitely enter Gryffindor?" William laughed.

"Haha, this is inevitable." Fred showed a confident expression and said unceremoniously:

"He can defeat the mysterious man. He must have the highest courage. Isn't this the quality of Gryffindor?"

Ah yes yes yes.

These words left William speechless. Where did this mysterious confidence come from?

He even guessed the key!

There is a saying.

——Gryffindor, courage is supreme, our dean can turn into a cat.

That's right, that's right, and he is also a cat dean who likes Shi Dun to take action.

After getting rid of Fred's entanglement, William quickly rushed to Hagrid's hut at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

I shouted twice, but no one was home.

Even Yaya was not at home, probably following Hagrid to the Forbidden Forest.

"It seems I can only act alone."

William let go of the owl on his shoulder and ran toward the interior of the Forbidden Forest in the direction it pointed.

"Jarvis, you said before that in addition to the trunk of the mulberry tree, the fruits can also be used for alchemy... What are the effects of the things refined from the fruits?"

"80% chance of being protective."

"Teach me the refining method."

As soon as the thought fell, a stream of information flowed into my mind, which was the method of using mulberry fruits to refine magic items.

The raw materials include sawtooth vine, mulberry fruit, gold, silver, bronze, and iron. First use magic to refine the materials, and finally use alchemy to refine them completely. Alchemy uses the 21st method...

Extremely detailed plan.

Even what materials are put in at what time, how much the flame temperature is controlled, what the air humidity is, the purity requirements of the raw materials, etc...

"The refining method of this thing is much more difficult than before."

"Yes, strictly speaking, this refining requires the use of many scientific measurement tools, but with me here, other things can be saved."

Hearing Jarvis's words, William found that he seemed a little proud.

"Awesome Jarvis!"

"Thank you, William, you are also very good!"

Haha, William laughed twice, this artificial intelligence actually understands these emotions.

Okay, very good!

After following the owl for half an hour, I finally found a few mulberry trees and several seedlings nearby.

William first cut off some branches, then picked a bag of fruits, and finally dug out three seedlings, along with the soil from the root system, and sent them all to the Yuanwang Hotel.

Without further ado, let’s start refining.

The sun bracelet was already very familiar, so William refined another one first.

Handling raw materials…

Enchantment…

Alchemy...

I don't know how long it took, but the refining process finally reached the final step. It just needs to be shaped into shape, and it's done.

"Since it is a defensive type, it must be carried with you, or should it be a bracelet?"

"No, no, if this happens, the werewolf will have to wear two bracelets..."

Pictures appear in my mind.

Fandel, who is as strong as a giant, has a bracelet on his left hand and a bracelet on his right hand. Then he twists his waist and shakes his hands...

Dazzling! It’s really dazzling!

In the crucible, a ball of golden metal solution is rolling, sometimes taking the shape of a bracelet, sometimes taking the shape of a ring...

"Have it!"

Suddenly an idea flashed, and William added another material to the metal solution.

"Jarvis, predict the success rate."

"100%"

well.

The metal solution tumbled for a moment, and finally condensed into shape. It turned out to be a small metal shield.

After the shield was completely formed, William picked it up with one hand, first dropped a drop of blood on the shield, and then the shield transformed into a ring. Then William thought, and the ring turned into a bracelet.

"With the addition of a deformation material, this shield has the function of deformation...

Although there are only two ways to choose, there is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough, and the most important thing is that for the first time in this magical creation, I have integrated the concept of recognizing the owner by dripping blood.

The inspiration from the novel about cultivating immortals became a reality at this moment. "

William named the shield the Golden Shield.

When the owner is not recognized, it is in the form of a shield; once the blood is shed and the owner is recognized, it can be changed between rings and bracelets.

The golden shield has two main functions.

First, defense.

It can independently defend against magic or physical attacks, only once.

Whenever there is a danger that endangers the wizard's life, the shield can independently generate a defensive shield. After William's test, the defensive strength of the defensive shield was not too strong and it could completely block the cutting curse.

As for the killing curse, the defensive shield can only weaken the power of the attack and deviate from the attack trajectory.

After a defense, the golden shield was damaged.

Second, recognize the Lord.

Because William added the concept of recognizing the owner with a drop of blood and recognizing the owner with a drop of shield, then only its owner can use it.

Even if someone else takes away the golden shield, it will not have a defensive effect.

Unless...the original owner dies.

"Jarvis, can this golden shield be sold?"

"It's up to you."

"What if it was up to you?"

"I will not sell it." Jarvis said firmly, "It is not easy to refine a golden shield. Even if you, William, do it, it will take three hours. And for this kind of thing with excellent defensive effect, there is a The method is more profitable than selling..."

"Internal digestion!" said William.

When the effect of the golden shield was clearly tested, William had an idea.

Unlike sun bracelets, gold shields can also be sold, but the gains outweigh the losses.

His time is valuable.

It takes three hours to refine once, and there are several three hours a day... With the sun bracelet to earn Galleons, William doesn't have much need for money.

The entire magical world is not a completely economical society, but more like a small country with few people.

Galleons are not omnipotent.

"The best choice is to give the golden shield to your own people."

Such as Crohn, Fandel, and those who will follow him in the future.

And the Gem Club that will grow and develop in the future...

The golden shield is like a symbol. It represents a unique force in the entire magical world, a force that belongs exclusively to William.

"Very good, my goal is being achieved step by step!"

Looking back at the style of the golden shield, the more I look at it, the happier I am.

Shield shape: The size of a coin, the whole is golden yellow, with a black pentagram pattern in the middle, and the edges are mixed with five colors, which are the colors formed by the fusion of various metals.

Ring shape: Similar to the wooden ring on Crohn's hand, except that one is made of wood and the other is made of metal.

Bracelet form: This bracelet is very different from the sun bracelet.

The bracelet of the gold shield is not a hard ring, but a bracelet, just like the strap of a metal watch. Each section has a magnificent color and a novel and outstanding style.

"Okay! I will use this first golden shield."

William smiled and turned it into a ring form, then put it on the ring finger of his right hand.

"Jarvis, what time is it?"

"3:21 pm. According to the schedule, you should go to the library at 3 o'clock. You are late."

"Why didn't you remind me just now?"

"...You didn't ask me to remind you." Jarvis's mechanical voice seemed to be mixed with a bit of confusion, a bit of shock, a bit of confusion, and a bit of grievance.

"Okay, Jarvis, create a new functional schedule to remind me when each trip is about to start."

"Received, created."

"William, there is news from the subsystem, Fandel has applied for voice contact with you..."

"Help me get in touch."
