The man behind Hogwarts

dong dong dong.

In a study room next to the corridor on the second floor, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in."

William was alone, opened the door and entered, saying: "Hello, Professor McGonagall."

"William? Sit down."

"Thank you."

Professor McGonagall's robe today is different from before. Although it is still dark green, this robe has a red pattern on the collar.

She stopped the pen she was writing quickly, took off her glasses, and looked at William: "Is it still about what happened last time?"

William nodded in agreement.

Professor McGonagall suddenly smiled, "Cedric didn't come with you?"

She was particularly impressed with Cedric.

A handsome young man, his grades have always been very good, but he seems a little afraid of himself.

This actually made Professor McGonagall a little interested.

Cedric suddenly sneezed in the Hufflepuff lounge and couldn't help but rub his nose.

"Strange, what's going on?"

William pretended to be embarrassed and said shyly: "No, he is probably still doing his homework."

"Professor McGonagall, last time you said that if my after-school homework reaches the level of Herbology and Potions classes, you would agree to my application. I don't know if that still counts."

"If you really have the strength, I will naturally agree."

William took out his wand: "Last time, I failed to pass the transformation spell. Now I have made a breakthrough. Can I show it to you?"

Professor McGonagall nodded with interest.

Seeing this, William directly cast a spell.

"Transfiguration"

The target of the Transfiguration spell was a match held by William himself.

The spell fell to the ground, the wand was waved, and the match immediately twisted and transformed into a silver needle.

William handed the silver needle to Professor McGonagall.

She took the silver needle and put on her glasses at the same time to observe the silver needle carefully.

Consistent appearance, consistent color, consistent hardness.

Yes, this is a genuine silver needle.

Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, "Not bad, excellent level."

After saying that, she took out a piece of brown paper from the table and wrote on it:

"William Sides, a current first-year Ravenclaw student, applied for a cross-year audit course. After inspection, he agreed to apply. Minerva McGonagall."

"Here you go, you can use this to attend the second-year courses."

"But you have to remember that your own courses must be completed with quality and quantity, including the few courses you have not taken yet. I will pay attention to your situation later. If you do not perform well in the first-year study, I will immediately withdraw this A consent form.”

William took it solemnly.

"Okay, Professor McGonagall, I will not let you down."

......

William returned to the dormitory satisfied.

I took out the piece of brown paper and couldn't help but read it again.

Professor McGonagall's calligraphy is really good, and the content above is even more amazing.

William thought secretly.

‘I finally got this thing. With it, I can speed up my learning progress and master the knowledge of first to second grade in the fastest time. ’

Even faster.

William was very ambitious and could not tolerate the slow pace of progress.

Since the first-year curriculum itself could not satisfy him, he took the initiative to seek changes.

Auditing second-year courses is just the first step; there will be second and third steps in the future...

until satisfied.

......

11 pm.

The bright moon hangs high and the sky is cloudless.

Hogwarts is in good health.

All the first-year students from Ravenclaw and Slytherin houses arrived at one of the tallest towers in Hogwarts: the Astronomy Tower.

Here, they are going to take a special course - astronomy.

The professor who teaches this course is a dark-skinned, middle-aged witch—Aurora Sinista.

At this time, she was standing in the middle of the astronomy tower, with a large telescope next to her.

"Hello, classmates, I am your astronomy teacher, you can call me Professor Sinistra."

"Our astronomy classes will be held here from now on, from 11 to 12 o'clock in the evening."

"If it rains, we will go to the classroom to teach."

After a brief introduction, Professor Sinistra began to teach.

William knew a little about the subject.

Astronomy is a core course offered by Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It is a branch of magic that studies the motions of stars and planets. In this course, students are not required to use any magic.

In this course, you will learn the names of stars, constellations, and planets, their locations and movements, and learn about the environment on these planets or moons.

A course in a very modern society.

Even more modern than modern.

Because students only have one telescope at hand, they can observe the conditions of various planets, such as the ice conditions of Europa and so on.

William was just as interested in this course as any other.

Studying astronomy in the magical world may yield different results.

The little wizards each stood behind their own telescopes.

Various telescopes.

Corresponding to various prices.

Some telescopes can be handheld, while others are large and need to be stood on the ground.

William's telescope is very large, among the largest of all telescopes.

Likewise, it is also the most expensive.

At that time, he was at Wieseek's Magical Supplies Shop in Diagon Alley, and the shop owner asked him which kind of telescope he wanted.

William said: "It's for astronomy class."

The store owner immediately recommended many types, stating that each would meet the needs of their course, but that the more expensive telescopes would allow for clearer views.

How else could William answer.

Of course he said: "I want the most expensive one."

The store owner was immediately stunned, intimidated by William's wealthy aura, and obediently offered him a large telescope.

"This telescope is no worse than the telescopes used by teachers in your school."

"how do you know?"

He chuckled: "Professor Sinistra bought your own telescope from me."

"By the way, she should still be teaching astronomy, right?"

"Maybe."

The scene changes back to the astronomy tower.

Evelin's light blond hair was blown gently by the wind, and her little boots were extremely eye-catching.

She stood her telescope next to William and smiled.

"Good evening, Evelyn."

"Good evening, William."

"Your telescope is good. I think it will allow you to enjoy the most beautiful starry sky."

"The same goes for yours. You will definitely be intoxicated by this vast starry sky."

"Did you drink your favorite chartreuse drink with dinner tonight?"

"..."

Evelyn is still the same Evelyn, violent, smart, cool, but also prickly.

William immediately retorted: "I drank it. However, someone seems to have a more unique preference. He likes to take off his clothes..."

Not finished.

William's mouth was sealed by Evelin's slender little hands.

"What you said is very nice, but please don't say it again."

William blinked.

"Ugh."

A sigh came from William's right.

On William's right is roommate A with brown hair.

He was a little depressed because he couldn't find the mysterious creature in the Black Lake.

But he vowed to William that he would definitely find it.

William was not optimistic, but he also encouraged him a little.
