Chapter 138: Ten Thousand Years of Apprenticeship Tonks

The Christmas holiday has come to an end quietly.

William, Hermione, and Anne had a happy and busy holiday at Nicol's manor.

As with the summer vacation of the second grade, almost no one bothered the three.

Sometimes, when Roy and Lyanna are having breakfast, they can't help but wonder:

Is Hogwarts school so busy?

Don't go home every Christmas?!

Lyanna thought about it even more carefully, it seemed that she was too merciful to cut her graduate school leave.

This is a complete connection with the wizarding world.

Hermione's parents, Aerys, even felt that their baby daughter had been abducted inexplicably the moment they received the notice.

As for who abducted him...... It must be the stupid son of the Starks!

When Aerys first met William, he felt that this kid was his lifelong enemy. Like an eagle in the sky, always trying to peck at his flowers.

William would probably feel aggrieved if he knew what Aerys was thinking.

He was clearly helping Hermione grow, in every sense, inside and out...... Grow!

Take the ancient magic script, for example.

During this vacation, William thoroughly tutored Hermione the ancient magic texts of the third grade.

From start to finish.

This means that next semester, she will not have to go to the ancient magic script, and there will be a slightly normal class schedule.

That's growth!

William may have other ulterior motives, but don't worry about the details. Compared to these, they are all trivial things.

Under William's simple persuasion, Hermione also made a decision: strategically give up a few courses.

For example, Muggle studies.

Just read the book before the exam.

This kind of class is easy to get a certificate, so there is no need to take it too seriously.

That way, Hermione will be able to relax next semester and not have to be so tired every day.

At least that's what William thinks.

However, he clearly underestimated Hermione's enthusiasm for learning.

She had already made a package and was ready to use the time saved to continue squeezing William.

Until there is not a drop left of him.

William was not aware of Hermione's "sinister intentions" and was wandering leisurely every day.

Occasionally, when he was idle, he would hold Nicol's alchemy book, tinker with various alchemy items, and then transcribe the steps.

This includes the production of flying capes, light extinguishers and two-way mirrors.

William's top priority was to create a flying cloak and a two-way mirror.

While the three of them were busy, the wizarding world suddenly became noisy.

Before Hermione knew it, she was once again famous.

For Secretary Fudge claimed:

With the help of the youngest Medal of Valor, the famous Hermione Granger, they successfully 'solved' the mystery of Blake's prison escape.

- He's an illegal Animagus!

For a while, a large number of Aurors began to search Hogsmeade Village, but they did not find the big black dog.

Rita wrote seven reports in a row to follow up.

first boasted about Hermione, claiming that the two had a close personal relationship and were sisters who talked about everything.

I don't know, I thought she liked Hermione.

In fact, Rita had scolded William and Hermione countless times in private. cursed the two of them all kindly, why don't you be an outlaw mandarin duck?

It's a pity, scolding is scolding...... People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

After all, no one understands better than Rita how terrible these two children are.

You know, so many people can't guess how Blake escaped from prison, and Hermione actually deduced it.

How clever is that?

These two people...... It's just not a person!

Rita vows never to be on the opposite side of William and Hermione.

But if you can't scold these two Dark Lords, Rita can't spray the Ministry of Magic?

So, she pointed the finger at the Ministry of Magic.

According to Rita:

The whole thing was the responsibility of the Ministry of Magic, and they failed to find out in advance that Blake was an illegal Animagus.

Rita even called on the Ministry of Magic to re-investigate and establish a blacklist system for wizards, classifying Animagus as black magic and prohibiting wizards from learning.

Rita's writing exudes anger, as if she had been bitten by a black dog as a child.

It's a bit of a thief shouting to catch a thief, you must know that Rita herself is an illegal Animagus.

There was nothing wrong with her jumping up and down like this, and her words were fierce.

On the contrary, if she can label herself as an "anti-Animagus", no one will suspect that she is an illegal Animagus.

The so-called dark under the lamp, but that's it.

Rita was scheming.

……

……

The day before the end of the holiday,

Saying goodbye to Nicol and his wife, William apparitions and returned to Hogsmeade with Hermione and Anne.

Walking down the street, William unexpectedly saw Tonks.

She was too conspicuous, her silver-white hair draped over her shoulders and matched the snowflakes on the eaves.

Tonks was shopping at Duke Honey's shop, hugging a large bag of snacks.

She also saw the three Williams, and hurriedly waved her hand.

William thought there was some important information, but when he got closer, he found out that it was for him to ...... Checkout.

"You didn't bring any money, and you bought so many snacks?" William was speechless. "Why should I help you settle the bill?"

I didn't take care of you!

This sentence must not have been spoken, otherwise it would have been fatally hit by more than one witch.

"You're so rich, what's wrong with helping my sister settle the bill?" Tonks said it as a matter of course.

"I've sent you so much valuable information, all at the risk of being imprisoned in Azkaban!

Now that you're amazing, you turn around and don't admit it?

I'm going to turn myself in now, and we're going to Azkaban together to spend our old age together!" ”

"Potions can be drunk indiscriminately, but words can't be indiscriminate." William rolled his eyes.

"Alas, forget it, I'm afraid of you. Can't I pay? William looked at Hermione and instructed:

"But the money will be deducted from Tonks' salary for the next month."

"Okay." Hermione covered her mouth and smiled.

Tonks was William's No. 2 agent, the kind that paid him. Unlike Bertha and Rita, who belong to the free informants.

"Speaking of wages, you should give me a price increase!" Tonks had a philistine face.

"Are you already an Auror?" William asked knowingly. "In that case, it's really time to give you a raise."

Tonks hasn't become an Auror yet, he's just a "trainee".

She has been apprenticed for two and a half years now, and is respectfully known as the "Ten Thousand Years Apprenticeship" by the Auror Office.

As we all know, the people who are given the title of "ten thousand years" are deeply hidden.

For example, 10,000 years of forbearance.

That's how Tonks was, with her disguised Magus, who easily refreshed the all-time high score for concealment and camouflage, but scored zero points for stealth and tracking.

It's too serious!

William deliberately asked again, "What about Moody?" Not with you? ”

"He's getting older...... Tonks coughed his throat, "he's honorably retired before Christmas." ”

"Oh, you're mad, aren't you?" William grinned.

This is not unfounded.

As the last student of Moody's Teaching, Tonks can't even pass the exam, so it's so anxious, normal people will be angry and retire, right?

"I can't pass the test, I really don't blame me!" Tonks complained, "If you had such a teacher, you wouldn't have been able to track it."

Moody was suspicious all day long, he didn't believe anything, and everywhere he went, he felt like he saw a dark wizard.

If you come across a trash can, you have to rummage through it to see if there are any Muggle bombs in it.

I studied with him, and I was a little nervous. ”

"But that doesn't stop Moody from being the best Auror."

Tonks snorted softly and cursed viciously, "Be careful that Moody will teach you Dark Arts Defense next year!" ”

William was speechless for a moment, why did everyone inadvertently sentence Professor Lupin to death?

He can still save it.

"By the way, why are you here?" William asked. "Don't you have to go after Blake?"

"I'm just on patrol." Tonks clasped his hands to his chest and said, "The Dementors can't recognize the Animagus, so I was sent by the Ministry." ”

Elder sister,

During your mission, you went to Duke Honey's shop to buy snacks?

That's too paddling, right?

No wonder he couldn't catch Blake.

Aren't you afraid of accidents?

Well, it's okay if something happens, just say it's a temporary worker.

Tonks is really a "trainee" temporary worker.

"Don't say I didn't warn you." Tonks put his arm around William's shoulders and grinned, "Hogsmeade will have a curfew, and there will be a howling spell at night. ”

"If you sneak here at night, you're sure to get caught."

"I never go night out." William shook his head.

Tonks rolled his eyes, looking incredulous.

"The Forbidden Forest doesn't detect magic, does it?" William asked quietly.

Tonks Nunu mouthed, motioned for snacks, and began to bargain.

William couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I'll invite you this time." ”

"No, there are so many magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, and there are those weird guys in the centaurs, there is no way to set a spell." Tonks said happily.

William nodded.

That's good, it won't affect him to go to the Forbidden Forest.

"By the way, Tonks, thank you for providing such important information." William smiled lightly, "Buy some more snacks, and I'll treat you." ”

"Really?" Tonks turned around and slipped into the crowd to grab a snack.

Five minutes later,

She walked out with a lot of candy, all the snacks she had always wanted to buy, but they were too expensive.

Tonks stopped suddenly,

She was dumbfounded......

Because William, Hermione, and Annie are gone.

"Tonks, fifty-eight Galleons in total, thank you for your patronage!"

Behind her, Mrs. Swan's vigilant voice seemed to remind her...... Don't skip orders.
