Chapter 413 More Troublesome than Azkaban

"Stop, Professor Moody, school rules prohibit corporal punishment."

Although the deal is done, this kind of corporal punishment of William still needs to be stopped.

He held the wand tightly, preparing for the possibility of unsuccessful persuasion - although we had not been together for a long time, he had already seen that this new colleague was a bit at odds with him in many places.

Besides, whether it was the vicious reputation of the former Auror that he heard in Azkaban or the fact that he became the Auror's half-boss, the possibility of the two of them communicating properly and being harmonious was almost zero.

However, to his surprise, Moody was easier to talk to than he thought.

After turning his magic eyes around, he grinned at William.

"Okay, maybe I don't remember those school rules very well."

He spread his hands and said, "Okay, then, these guys will be left to you, Professor William."

Moody limped away with a swagger that William couldn't believe. Everything in his words and deeds expressed his happiness. This gesture made William dare not loosen the wand at will, for fear of this crazy eye. Han looked back and took out his wand to cast some strange spell.

Although this is theoretically impossible, William does not dare to make this bet.

It wasn't until the collision between the wooden legs and the stone slab disappeared into the distance that William breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean up the mess.

'I really deserve the title of Mad-Eye. Obviously he does not pose an absolutely fatal threat to me, but when I met this Mad-Eye going crazy, I was still so nervous...'

He shook his head and turned around to clean up the mess.

Those who are ruthless are afraid of those who are stunned, and those who are stunned are afraid of losing their lives, but which of the three is not afraid of lunatics?

But when he turned to look at the students, he suddenly understood why Moody was smiling so happily.

A group of ferrets, large and small, just like him, only came back to their senses after Mad-Eye disappeared completely, and were currently staring at William.

He looked at the stoats, who stared at him with humiliation and longing, so that no one paid attention to Malfoy on the ground or Harry, who was confused by a series of things.

'Too bad, I'm not good at transfiguration...'

Yes, William is not good at transformation. Although he has been working hard to make up for this shortcoming over the years, unfortunately, the most dangerous human transformation cannot be done with just hard work. It also takes time to practice. Although this holiday he I bought a lot of useful transformation techniques in Uganda, but they were still far from enough.

Moody didn't know whether he was deliberately trying to embarrass him or wanted to see what he could do. Anyway, Moody probably decided not to help these students change back as soon as he came over.

So now it's William's turn to face this tough question.

"If I return to my office, I can use thirty minutes to prepare the corresponding potion to restore the transformation. The subsequent incidents will basically not spread, but I request that I handle the matter. If I ask Professor McGonagall for help, then It will probably take less than ten minutes, but one more professor will step in and the matter will be handled by Professor McGonagall. Which one do you choose?"

It was impossible to transform. If he had transformed to save him, Professor McGonagall would probably have to spend twice as much time helping students remove furry ears or claws and tails, etc. That would really be a disservice.

These little stoats were still hesitating, but El, who had been called over by William to help, had made up his mind.

"Professor, please help us prepare the potions. I will take them to the office."

"Okay, then go to my office quickly before anyone comes over."

William nodded - this method seemed to take longer, but it would reduce the number of onlookers to the greatest extent, otherwise if other students came over, these shameful students would probably explode on the street.

Professor McGonagall must communicate with Professor Snape when he comes to deal with it. The subsequent situation is almost 100% leaked, and how to deal with it is another matter.

El quickly opened his schoolbag and let the lower-grade Slytherin get in, and then called out to the panicked Malfoy. William also took Harry, who was still in a daze, and quickly hurried back. 's office.

"Just sit down wherever you like...or lie down for a while."

While William lit the cauldron, he pulled up a stool and greeted them unaccustomedly - after all, it was also the first time for him to entertain a group of live ferrets in his office.

Fortunately, I brought back enough herbs today, otherwise it would be really not easy to help these students break the curse.

"Let me make it clear to you first. It's not that I don't intend to transform you and deliberately delay the time. It's that in terms of transformation, it is extremely advanced to force others to transform into animals, even among the graduates of the advanced class. The best ones can only barely complete their own transformation."

He lit his best cauldron and counted the herbs while waiting for the water to boil.

"I think Professor Moody's background does not require me to tell you more about it. If you are really interested, you can read what he has done in some books from the past ten years - I believe that after reading this, you will give up revenge. Such a stupid idea."

He patiently checked the materials again, "In addition, since you agreed to let me handle this matter, I hope that in the subsequent incidents, the Malfoy students involved in you will not be retaliated for this...El, can you Make sure, right?"

"Of course, Professor, I will keep an eye on them to prevent this from happening again."

"very good."

William nodded and began to prepare the potion, "You can eat some candy or something. The food you eat in the transformed state will have a different taste. This is something that many wizards cannot experience in their lifetime - only the best students can master it when they graduate. Transform yourself, and the level of magic at this time is almost the limit of many students."

As he spoke, he built a shield to completely isolate himself from the crucible and the students.

——

While William was cooking the potion, the students outside began to make some noise.

El glanced at William who was working hard, looked at a group of ferrets lying on the bench angrily, and looked angrily at Malfoy who was dumbfounded there.

"Today's matter ends from our side——"

He lowered his voice and looked around at the lower-grade Slytherin wizards and ferrets.

"Zhizhi~~~~"

A sharp sound similar to that of a rat came out, but it soon stopped under El's questioning gaze.

"Potter, what about you?"

He nodded with satisfaction and looked at Harry.

"Okay, I promise."

Harry hesitated for a moment and accepted the Slytherin's proposal - after all, the professor also said that if things don't go well...

"Finally, it's you, Draco. Although the Malfoys are unreliable, this is the last trust we give you - if this gets out, I will make you understand what it means to offend the entire sixth grade."

Malfoy's face became even paler, but he nodded quickly.

According to the current situation of their family, offending a child is equivalent to offending an adult. Although he is completely the victim in today's incident, what can he say? What did he dare to say?

"Good, it looks like we have an agreement."

El nodded, took the candies that William had laid out in advance, and spread them out.

"Eat some candies. I've heard people say that the candies in Professor William's office include the latest models from Honeydukes and highly rated candies from other places. It's true."

Satisfied, El began to scatter candies - and sure enough, the sixth grade was completely different from the fifth grade! Even before class begins, I feel that the air quality in the professor’s office is more than twice as good as last year!

Maybe he will become the professor's assistant like Percy, but the professor will give his assistant a stipend!

Perhaps it was because there were a group of people around them. After the initial embarrassment and humiliation, the ferrets became somewhat accustomed to their current appearance. They even moved their bodies out of curiosity to feel the changes in the human body after deformation. Same feeling.

After all, the professor's speech just now reduced a lot of their reluctance - many seventh graders are unable to complete human body transformation, especially this kind of overall transformation, which is simply a patent for top students.

"Squeak~~~. (The chocolate frog tastes like eating a huge chocolate cake.)"

"Squee~~! (Yes, eating multi-flavor beans has become extremely satisfying. One bite is like biting off half a chocolate frog!)"

"Squeak~~~~~!!! (Help, this one is earwax-flavored, and it got stuck in my throat. I feel like I'm going to die!)"

…

The noisy and annoying stoats soon received their retribution. El, who was upset by the squeaking noises, stood up and one of the stoats hit his head.

"Why are you arguing? What if it affects the potion making? Are you really planning to turn into a ferret?"

After he finished typing, he picked up another box from the table, "What is this, dried meat?"

"The professor lets us eat as much as we want, so it should be fine."

He took a bite, changed his expression, secretly disposed of it with his wand, and then distributed the things to the stoats calmly.

However, to his surprise, these students who bullied Malfoy into a ferret ate the jerky much faster than the candy. They were whispering to each other while eating. , extremely useful.

"Good-for-nothing guy."

El cursed secretly, and did not give the things to Harry or Malfoy, who was stunned over there - Potter was a Gryffindor, and Malfoy, although he promised the professor to take care of him, he should not be happy with it. Still unhappy, who likes a traitor?

——

"finished."

Letting the crucible made of fire crab shells go out, William looked at his work with admiration and nodded.

This is almost his highest quality product, the effect is absolutely perfect and there will be no side effects.

‘Test it once and then give it to them. ’

William took out his wand, found a book, and began to transform unskillfully into a squirrel.

The transformation was quickly completed, and the squirrel came alive without any trace of the book.

'This is the limit of what I can accomplish, but even so, it will take more than half a year to get involved in human body transformation. It will be difficult to be proficient at Moody's level...'

Sighing, he sprinkled the potion on the squirrel. After about half a minute, it turned back into the original book without even an extra hair.

"Very good, perfect."

William nodded and began to gradually lift the protection.

"Oh my god!!!"

"Goooooo!!!"

There was a sound coming from outside, and he quickly turned his head to look, only to find that his owl was stepping on a ferret, using the side of its beak to hit the heads of the two unlucky guys left and right.

As for the rest of the ferrets, they hid behind El, who was opening his arms to protect them with a look of embarrassment.

Harry also held the wand hesitantly, not daring to do it - after all, the owl had no intention of eating, and was just waving its beak back and forth to slap them.

"Come back, that's not a ferret, that's a student!"

William shouted angrily - Fortunately, he didn't attack. If he had attacked, how could this matter be counted?

"Gurgoo~~~~~~"

It released the two ferrets with an aggrieved look on its face, and flew next to William aggrievedly, spinning around until William shook his head and stretched out his left arm before falling down, almost crushing William.

“Goooooooo!!!”

It turned its head and shouted in William's ear as if complaining, then turned its head and stared at the table.

'Isn't that his food box? I remember I brought him a lot of owl food made from mice as gifts from Uganda. I just opened a pack today...'

…

…

William was silent because the food box was empty.

And there was also a piece of owl food remains that had obviously been bitten by some creature...

"Drink the medicine first, and I will teach it a lesson."

William shook his head and began to distribute the prepared potions, and then looked for healing potions and digestive potions from his potion cabinet - leftovers after he prepared one for the old professor during the holidays.

"This is a magic potion to replenish your energy. Drink some more when you recover."

As each student returned to their original state, William asked them to drink a digestive potion while checking them for injuries.

Fortunately, our own owls have a sense of proportion. Even if they encounter intruders who steal food from unknown sources, they will only bully them for a few times like they do other owls.

"It's okay."

He nodded, then looked at Malfoy and Harry, "You two go back first, and remember not to tell anyone, including your friends, what happened today - otherwise you will be in solitary confinement during the holidays this semester."

After sending away the two irrelevant people, he sat down in his chair and stared at everyone except El.

Then, he slapped his palm directly on the table, startling everyone.

"Did you think this was the end of the matter?"

He glanced at these students, "Is it the end of the promise that you won't bully people in the lounge?"

"Um?"

Whoever he glanced at and who took a step back - even the old fritters who thought they had committed too many crimes when they entered Azkaban couldn't bear this, let alone a few children who only knew how to bully.

"Let me tell you, if Professor Moody hadn't violated school rules and dealt with students excessively..."

He stood up, making the guys take another step back in fright.

"Don't let me catch you and do it again -" he lowered his voice, "I dare not say more than that. I still have the right to make three or two students drop out of school, and that is only the lightest..."

"Get out, remember, don't let me catch you again!"

He waved his left hand and the door suddenly opened.

In less than half a minute, he and El were the only ones left in the office.

After closing the door hard, William's expression relaxed, "I'm sorry to trouble you, El, for following them for so long."

"I should, Professor!"

El's face showed panic that hadn't dissipated yet.

"There's nothing else to bring, so grab some candies and go -"

William gave him a handful of candies and patted him on the shoulder, "Look out for me and don't let those bastards get into trouble."

"Yes, Professor!"

"Well, let's go back."

William nodded and watched as El, who was also frightened, trotted away. Then he leaned on the chair and comforted his still angry owl.

"Okay, okay, it's not like others are trying to steal from you - I've never bothered so much in Azkaban. It's both a good thing and a bad thing."

"Take a rest and report to Dumbledore to see how he can protect that little Malfoy..."

He stretched and said, "It's all over again all of a sudden."
