Chapter 37: The Disaster of the Weasley Brothers (Part 1)
William walked into the office and sat down in a chair.
Professor McGonagall carried William on her back and searched for it in the row of bookshelves.
"I wouldn't have recommended studying Animagus at your age, I only started preparing in my third year, and it took me a year to complete it under Professor Dumbledore's guidance.
However, William, your Transfiguration skills are already at a high level, and I will do my best to help you. ”
Professor McGonagall pulled an old book out of the corner and handed it to William.
"This book of Advanced Transfiguration was used by me back then, and this book can also be found in the library.
But in the chapter on the Animagus, there are some notes from that year, so you can take them and read them first. “
William thanked him and took it carefully.
The Animagus registered only seven people in the twentieth century, and Professor McGonagall was one of them.
Of course, there are many illegal Animagus that have not been reported, but there will not be too many.
With this amount alone, I know that this is a very deep and difficult magic, and there are very few books on this subject, and most of them are not systematic.
William also has a copy of The Animagus Explained, but Professor McGonagall's notes are more precious, containing her various experiences.
William and Professor McGonagall agreed to come to the professor's office every Friday evening starting next Friday to receive her guidance.
Before leaving, Professor McGonagall said sternly, "William, I know your Transfiguration skills are at a very high level.
But I don't allow you to practice alone, Animagus is dangerous, and it's easy to lose your mind and never get back.
I also dared to try it under Dumbledore's guidance back then, and if you practiced alone, and I found out, I would definitely kick you out of the school, and Professor Dumbledore couldn't stop it. ”
William nodded hurriedly, of course he wouldn't try it himself, and he wasn't a Gryffindor, so he still regretted his life.
As it turned out, Professor McGonagall's advertising was good.
William only had a brief discussion with McGonagall in the crowd, and by the afternoon, rumors were spreading.
There are even quite a few students who say that the Hogwarts professors have ordered a map each.
William didn't know who spread the rumor, anyway, he only knew that the twin brothers came at noon and took some of the publicity funds.
Not much, just a few Galleons.
But you can buy a water army for just a few nats, not to mention a large number of Ravenclaw tap water.
In one afternoon, hundreds of maps were sold out, and all 15 private places were bought.
But the call was too high, and in desperation, William and the others added ten more places, and there was a trend of intensification.
For the first time, William discovered that there were so many rich little wizards at Hogwarts, and that there was a strong sense of comparison.
Soon, William and the others placed some small advertisements in the advertising area of the Daily Prophet, and posted Professor McGonagall's words.
Many parents use owl letters to order and they can't wait to find out how their children are doing.
It is also necessary that after the end of the last semester, many students' grades have dropped significantly, and most parents suspect that their children are absent from school.
If these parents knew that it was because William and they sold the reference answers privately, they probably wouldn't be so willing to buy the map.
But it's not all good news.
On Wednesday, for example, Mrs. Weasley wrote to her asking for three maps to be ordered to better care for her twin brothers, and to keep an eye on her youngest son, Ron, to prevent him from following his two older brothers astray.
The tone seemed to mean that she was going to ignore it for a while, and her two sons were going to Azkaban.
Woe to the Weasley brothers!
The twins were anxious about this for days, and when Ron found out, he was even more irritable.
Does Ron think that Mrs. Weasley doesn't trust him, and that there is not even the slightest trust between people?
Percy was proud, he didn't have this problem as an honor student, he spent his days dangling in front of Ron and Harry with his prefect badge.
He also shouted a lecture to Ron: "You deserve to be late with Harry all day long when you have a map, and you deserve so many points for Gryffindor!" ”
After going on several times, Ron stared at Percy with a gloomy face, "You can't write to tell your mother, right?" Otherwise, she would have known about it before I started school for a week......"
Percy excused herself to go to the toilet and ran away in a hurry.
Ron didn't catch him, and could only roar behind him, "You despicable informer! ”
In the end, the twin brothers decided to strategically ignore their mother's order and pretended not to see it, and she couldn't come to school anyway.
Since the map is so profitable, there are naturally copycats.
It was only on the third day that imitations appeared.
But the garbage that came out in the three days was not even an imitation, at most it was a handmade drawing, which was drawn on a piece of paper according to the magical map of Hogwarts.
But Hogwarts is three-dimensional, and the staircase is constantly changing, so this kind of diagram is worthless.
Cedric also studied art with Ollivanders, and the gap in painting is not the slightest bit.
There are also many students who think they are good at transfiguration, and they process and add points to imitate, but this is a huge project.
Crucially, the Living Spot Map uses the high-end spell "Tracking Charm".
The Magic Map of Hogwarts is connected to the Living Point Map, which uses the Marauder's magic as a hub to reveal the location of the map's owner.
Other copycat maps, no matter how much they imitate, do not have this feature.
This is not something that a young wizard can arrange and master, and William could not arrange it before, but after the blessing of the phoenix, the magic soared, and he reluctantly arranged this magic at Hogwarts.
Many students consulted the professor in class, but they didn't understand the spells in the map, and because they tried to crack the spells, the map was directly blocked and turned into waste paper.
After a few times, no one dared to continue the exploration.
William: They seem to have mastered the core technology, and as soon as they make a move, they are products that span several eras, forming a solid technical barrier, so that others don't even have a chance to imitate it.
But these were small things, and soon William had his first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson.
It's been a long time since Professor Tywin was arrested.
Regardless of Tywin's status as a Death Eater, everyone thinks that he teaches well.
Especially the senior students, they haven't seen such a reliable teacher in years.
When William walked into the classroom, Cho and Marietta were already seated, and they waved.
William walked over and sat down next to the two.
"What are you going to do?" Qiu frowned and asked, "I haven't seen you for the past few days." ”
"I'm boiling potions." William whispered.
The Slytherin girls on the train had all paid their deposits, and William had already used his owl to buy magic materials in Diagon Alley.
These are large sums of money, and William is already busy with them, and if nothing else, he will be able to boil them all by Halloween.
Potion making is a delicate task that cannot be disturbed, and only the Room of Necessity can meet it.
"What are you boiling?" Marietta asked curiously.
"Aphrodisiac."
William...... Who are you going to use it on? Marietta straightened her hair, and there was a hint of anticipation in her voice.
"Of course I didn't use it, I need to use this kind of thing."
The girl was a little disappointed.
"Oh, you want to test the medicine, right?" William suddenly realized, "Yes, after the prefect Robert left, I have been looking for a little wizard who is willing to test the medicine, the price is negotiable, we are friends, we can give more." ”
Ever since the Ravenclaw knocker was lost, Robert had given up on himself, and until he graduated, he was working like a medicine man, helping William test the drug.
William felt pity for such a good tool man to graduate, and he couldn't wait for Dumbledore to postpone his graduation for six years.
As the saying goes...... Hogwarts walks together, whoever graduates first is the dog.
