167 Hogwarts without a long vacation is a bit crumbly (wrong)(1/2)
Depravity is depravity, but the elixir is still fragrant.
William is very sure that he cannot conquer this thing at present, and Adams who gave him the potion is definitely not of this level - this thing is definitely the most precious thing in Adams' collection.
"I guess Adams is still in pain now," William stared at the bottle of potion, which shone like molten gold, and began to guess what kind of revelation Adams had received to make him so happy.
"Would you like to try it?"
William stared at the elixir, struggled internally, and finally gave up this tempting idea.
He is too busy now, and his mind is not on the potion at all. Even if he drinks the whole small bottle of the elixir, it will only have the effect that the potion should have - for a former potion master, this is the most shameful thing.
of waste.
If he has enough time and energy, coupled with the feeling of recovery from refining the potion for a period of time, and the possible luck bonus from taking the potion, William feels that he is at least 70% sure of solving the problem of refining the elixir of blessing.
This problem.
The premise is that he can bear not to touch a drop of it for this period of time - the first time he comes into contact with the potion has the greatest impact on a wizard and brings the most insights.
'Put it away,' William closed his eyes and forced himself not to look at the potion bottle. 'Short-term luck will not help the current situation. What I lack now is not luck, but time.'
'Why can't adult wizards use time-turners?'
William sighed and stuffed the bottle into the deepest part of the drawer - he had known about the existence of the time turner since he became a professor, but that thing was severely limited by the level of magic power. Normal wizards were close to adulthood.
If his magic level is high, he will be in danger of falling into the turbulence of time, let alone an existence like him that has not consumed magic power through the entrance ceremony.
'But also, if Dumbledore can use the time turner, then don't even think about the Dark Lord appearing - as long as the Dark Lord appears, Dumbledore can try various methods to keep him.'
'I don't want to mess up the whole thing. Let's take a look at what the second letter says and then look up the information.'
William opened the second letter and found that the sender was Hagrid.
“William;
Are you free tomorrow?
I'm going to have a grand celebration to celebrate Harry's victory in this Quidditch match.
I really hope you can come, trust me, you won't be disappointed.
——Hagrid.”
Such a simple letter is really Hagrid's style - but is it too much to celebrate a game?
William flipped through the schedule he had made for himself and looked at tomorrow's date.
'Tomorrow is Halloween?'
'No wonder they got together. Why did Hagrid suddenly want to celebrate? It turns out that the two of them celebrated together. This is understandable.'
William sighed and picked up the quill.
Just now, I was saying that I didn't have enough time, and I wanted to wear a time turner to check the information. Now I have to make time for Hagrid's celebration.
'I promised the ghosts to participate in their activities tomorrow night, and I also promised to take Ginny with me. Why is Halloween on the 1st? Has the child recovered enough to see ghosts?'
Because William, who is not familiar with Western festivals, has a new little trouble - he can't let the student pigeons go, can he?
"Ask Madam Pomfrey, you have to follow the doctor's orders and have a banquet," William sighed as he tied the note to the owl's leg, "There will be no papers this week. Fortunately, there are some papers saved, and there will still be papers next week.
It’s enough.”
William changed his schedule angrily, and then found something was wrong - why was the October ticket missing?
After a while, he remembered why it was missing - he was thinking about the National Day holiday, so he tore it off and thought about how to use the holiday for half a day. However, he remembered that the UK did not have a National Day, so he was disappointed and forgot to put it back.
"Go ahead and take the note to Hagrid."
William opened the window with resentment and let the owl fly out - he was angry with himself.
——
The sun was shining brightly on Sunday, and happily, no bastard professor named Adams came around to wake us up before eight o'clock.
This incident made William, who checked the information faster last night, very happy, and even ignored the frustration caused by not finding anything useful when checking the information yesterday.
'Balance work and rest. Even if there are no statutory holidays, you should still give yourself a good day off.'
William hummed happily and stuffed a piece of chocolate into his mouth.
Although Professor McGonagall would definitely not grant him a long leave, he still wanted to spend the day happily and didn't even plan to write the paper.
'This robe looks casual...'
It was rare to have a serious vacation. William chose a robe for himself that he would never wear on ordinary days, and took care of his hair carefully, and then he happily opened the office door with his wand.
'I'm going to visit Hagrid officially. Although the invitation is not very formal, it still needs to be more formal. Let's go to Hogsmeade to buy some candies and take them there as gifts. Anyway, the celebration Hagrid said is at noon, so there is time.
.'
'This is a rare opportunity. Don't use the Floo Network when you go out. It's not a good experience. Just walk.'
The one-way floo network that Dumbledore opened last time is still there, but William has no intention of using it.
——
"Hello, Professor."
"Hello."
"Professor William, morning."
"Morning for you too."
Hogsmeade is extremely lively when there are students. The rule that it can only be used by third-year students and above has greatly increased the number of students who know William. He barely walked a few steps and greeted several students.
'It's just weird, why aren't there any fifth graders?'
After finally reaching a remote place, William was thinking about the doubts that suddenly appeared, while rushing towards the target location from the path - although the road was far away, if he continued on as before, he was afraid that he would smile on his face.
Stiff.
"Good morning, professor!"
Almost the moment William realized something was wrong, the tranquility was broken by two flashes of red that appeared around the corner.
'Why is there Weasley in such a good day!'
"Good morning, what are you two doing here?"
He stared at the brothers - they were still in confinement. Yesterday was a special situation and they had to be in confinement tonight...
Thinking of this, William's mood became even worse.
"Professor, George and I had a great idea yesterday, so we came out today and worked hard to realize it."
William began to stare at the brothers with suspicion - ever since he got the twins' violation records from Mr. Filch, he had a good idea of the brothers' ability to get into trouble.
Great discovery?
I'm afraid it's not a new prank.
But this kind of speculation is not suitable to say - anyway, the twins still have a sense of proportion in their pranks. If they are caught, they will be deducted points. He can't control them in advance. After all, they are not his students.
"Well, I wish you success. If there is any progress, let me see it. Maybe I can make some suggestions."
"That's great, Professor, but this experiment will take a lot of time - don't you think?"
The twins beat snakes with sticks.
"Don't even think about it," William smiled extremely happily, "and I can tell you that if you make any serious mistakes again, I will personally bring you both here with Mr. Filch."
The two of them lost their vitality like frost hitting eggplants, which made William instantly happy.
"But what will be the great discovery?"
This matter troubled William for a long time.
——
After William bought gifts and ordered enough snacks for himself, it was already half past ten.
He hurried towards the school gate and walked directly towards the Forbidden Forest without even returning to the office.
However, before he saw Hagrid's house, Hagrid had already appeared in his sight.
"Hagrid, good morning, what are you doing?"
As William spoke, he raised the gift in front of Hagrid. The hybrid giant took the gift with a grin and winked - to be honest, this action was a bit scary.
"Keep it a little mysterious, William. Many guests are invited today. You will enjoy today's banquet..."
Hagrid was so mysterious that he didn't even mean to invite William to go to his house.
"I have to stand here, William, although there is the Forbidden Forest over there, but you know, those students don't care about that," Hagrid smiled, "But today, I think I still keep staring at the students from this position.
It would be good for them to be nicer."
What do you mean this is good for them?
What are you doing mysteriously?
It’s the same with the twins, and it’s the same with you. Can’t you let me take a day off? Seven days have been reduced to one day, so can’t you let me have some peace of mind?
To be continued...
