The man behind Hogwarts

The next day, evening.

The Whomping Willow at Hogwarts Castle was sleeping soundly, but an uninvited guest interrupted its dream.

Several little wizards with their heads and faces covered quietly walked to the Whomping Willow.

Fred George poked the Whomping Willow in its scab with a stick.

biu, manual crash.

"Come on, we'll leave early and come back early."

Following him were George Weasley, Harry Potter, Hermione, and Ron.

Entering the long and winding corridor, Hermione used magic to illuminate it, and Ron followed closely behind.

"Fred, are you sure you need to use fishtail grass for the second level?" Harry asked as he walked.

Due to the addition of Malzahar as a variable in this semifinal competition, the students from the other three schools saw his strength and were immediately extremely worried about their own players.

In particular, it was very difficult for Harry Potter to pass the first level, so the little wizards at Hogwarts couldn't help but worry.

Tonight, Fred suddenly found him and said that he knew the content of the second level of the competition, and he could pass it safely as long as he went to Hogsmeade to purchase some things.

"Of course, I got this information from Professor Moody."

Walking ahead, Fred vowed:

"The content of the second level of competition is related to mermaids, and it will be conducted underwater. There is no guarantee of how long it will take."

"Harry, I've made it clear to George that there are fishweeds sold in Hogsmeade. When you hold one in your mouth before going into the water, you can breathe freely like on land."

When several people walked out of the corridor, they arrived at the Screaming Shack.

There was already a dark shadow in the room.

"Passed out!"

Sirius easily knocked out everyone, leaving Harry Potter alone.

Looking at Harry's face, Sirius's expression kept changing. It was so similar. Harry looked so much like his father.

When Sirius was in Azkaban, he would dream about his father countless times, not only because of his guilt for his friends, but also because of his regret for what happened in the first place.

"Harry, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you."

Although Sirius tried to be as gentle as possible, Harry looked at Hermione and the others who were unconscious on the ground, how could he not be afraid.

Harry swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, holding the wand tightly but not daring to say the spell.

Sirius at this time was much cleaner than when he was in the cave.

But his long beard, messy hair, and shabby clothes all made him look like he had come with bad intentions.

Sirius smiled happily and told Harry the story of him and James Potter.

——Meeting at Hogwarts, forming the Marauders group, graduation, James Potter's marriage...unbreakable vows...

Until the final Voldemort thing.

"Back then, I was filled with guilt towards your father and the fact that I accidentally killed several Muggles, so I allowed the Ministry of Magic to imprison me in Azkaban without even defending myself.

But, Harry, I definitely did not betray your father.

Although James wanted to set the secret keeper to me at first, he finally gave it to Pettigrew..."

From the stories slowly told by Sirius, Harry found the story of his parents that he had been searching for.

It turns out that they knew each other in school, and it turns out that his father is so outstanding.

"Pettigrew is not dead yet?"

"No!" Sirius said with pain and hatred: "I thought he was dead at one time, but then I thought about it carefully and found something strange. His Animagus is a mouse and is very good at escaping."

"And you know what, that rat is always there for you."

what?

Harry was involuntarily startled, as if hearing a horror story.

The enemy who killed his father has been hiding beside him?

He immediately thought: "Is it Ron's mouse, Scabbers?"

"Yes, that's him! I will never forget his ugly appearance. That mouse is his Animagus form."

Harry was distraught.

When they came out tonight, Ron naturally didn't bring Scabbers with him.

Harry thought about Scabbers' appearance for a moment and found it hard to let go.

In the end, Harry believed Sirius and agreed to bring Scabbers out to discuss how to deal with it if it was really Pettigrew.

Sirius was invincible, that was his purpose.

Hogwarts is currently in the midst of the Four-wizard Tournament, and it would be too easy for strange wizards to get discovered if they sneak in.

As long as Pettigrew didn't know that he had been exposed, he would be taken out by Harry.

As for how to deal with it after taking it out...except for death, Sirius couldn't think of another way.

Without further words, Harry turned back to Hogwarts and found the cage containing Scabbers from Ron's bedside.

He picked it up and walked away, his steps quick.

Scabbers, transformed into Pettigrew, pretended to be awakened and ran around nervously in the cage.

He knew that Harry wanted to go out to school with Ron tonight, so why did he come back just after leaving.

Where's Ron?

But Harry didn't say anything, he just kept walking.

Pettigrew could only be led to the Shrieking Shack in confusion.

Not long after, a shot of Avada Kedavra took away his life.

In this life, Harry did not stop Sirius, but allowed Sirius to kill Pettigrew.

Perhaps it's not that he didn't stop it, but that he failed to stop it.

Harry persuaded Sirius to save his life and hand it over to the Ministry of Magic, and then clear Sirius's grievances. But Sirius refused. The hatred for many years can only be relieved by solving it with his own hands, otherwise he will not be able to sleep for the rest of his life.

And, who says dead people can’t wash away their grievances.

……

The time came to February 1993, and the second game of the Final Four was about to be held.

Before the event, William and Malzahar met at the Astronomy Tower.

After several months of research, I finally figured out what the ancient runes have in common and how they generate magical power.

Combining the wisdom of the two people and Jarvis's computational simulation, it was finally unveiled.

The research results were so bizarre that even Malzahar found it unbelievable.

Because while conducting this research, Jarvis suddenly discovered that the ancient runes' distancing spells were exactly the same as the wizard's expulsion spell.

The Wizard Banishing Curse is a spell cast by ancient wizards on magic.

The effect is to silently separate wizards from ordinary people. They want modern wizards to face their original dilemma.

The reason why ancient runes have magical power is because these words are engraved in the magic power.

For example, the energy of magic is a sphere, and there are several indentations engraved on the sphere.

Only someone can make a convex module corresponding to the indentation, insert it, and fit it together, and then it will work.

It is somewhat similar to building blocks.

After studying this point, William first controlled all the convex modules, and then split, studied, interpreted, and reorganized all the magic he knew in the form of convex modules.

Although he doesn't know how the runic characters were carved into the magic power, it does not prevent him from using it.

It wasn’t long before the research project yielded surprising results.

Relying on magic reorganized from ancient runes, there is no need to use spells or wands.

William only needs to move his mind and control the magic power to cast magic.

This is not a silent spell technique, nor is it a wandless spellcasting technique.

It's just pure and complete control over magic.

After this incident, the two's strength soared again, and they came to the ocean to practice, almost causing a tsunami to flood the coastal villages.

Not only were the spells and wands omitted, but their power was also increased. It was as if the omnipresent magic had become his loyal supporter. There was no need to pay any price. As long as he gave an order, he would show his allegiance.

Vaguely, William seemed to see the essence of magic.
