The man behind Hogwarts

From Quirrell's mouth, William gained a deeper understanding of Crohn.

At least he had a rough idea of ​​his character, which made him more confident about his next plan.

……

……

The last class ends in the afternoon.

Crohn said "get out of class is over" and hurried out of the classroom.

"get out of class is over. get out of class is over. Let's go have a meal."

"Wait a moment and write down the homework assigned by the professor, otherwise it will be a disaster if you are selected to ask questions in the next class."

"It makes sense. Let me take a look... huh?" The little wizard was suddenly stunned, "What is the homework assigned today?"

"???"

"Yes, there are no homework assignments today?! This is probably Professor Crohn's first time."

"Have you noticed that Professor Crohn has been a little inattentive in class in the past few days, and he has been frowning..."

Crohn, whom everyone was talking about, walked out of the castle in a rage.

His expression was just as the students said:

His brows were furrowed, and he would hit his chest from time to time, looking a little unhappy.

He just lowered his head and hurried on, completely unaware of Snape who greeted him on the roadside.

Snape's mouth twitched, "Fortunately, I just nodded to him and didn't reach out to say hello, otherwise it would be really embarrassing."

He didn't say anything more, threw off his robe, and prepared to continue walking with the wind.

Suddenly, the footsteps stopped.

He slowly turned his head, and his sinister eyes fell on Crohn's back, but what appeared in front of him was the image of Crohn beating his chest.

He didn't look back until Crohn disappeared from sight, muttering to himself: "Why does this look like a symptom of a curse..."

Crohn kept walking straight back to his office.

"pat"

The moment you enter the house, close the door.

The moment he closed the door, he collapsed to the ground like soft mud, his mouth opened uncontrollably, and he let out a low howl like 'uhhhh' from his throat.

He was obviously trying his best to endure the pain, but he still couldn't control his whole body twitching, especially his heart, which felt like it was being cut into pieces with a thousand cuts, and a kind of pain that penetrated deep into his soul kept coming.

He experiences this pain every day.

But today's pain came so suddenly, and the pain level suddenly rose several levels.

After ten minutes, he took a few deep breaths and slowly got up.

On the ground where he just lay down, a pool of saliva looked a bit dazzling.

"Ugh"

A feeble sigh sounded in the office.

"The pain is becoming increasingly unbearable." He sat down on the chair tiredly. "In half a month at most, the effect of the Patronus Curse will completely dissipate. If we haven't found a way to suppress the Cruciatus Curse by then, , I will become like Frank..."

"No, even if I die, I will not choose this outcome!"

He couldn't help but think of his former colleague and comrade-Frank Longbottom.

Frank was like him. Both of them were once Aurors of the Ministry of Magic and fought on the front line with the Death Eaters when they were at their most raging.

But Frank was much worse off than he was.

Frank and his wife were captured by Death Eaters in 1981, and both of them were cast under the Cruciatus Curse. They were tortured to death by this vicious curse and eventually went completely crazy. They are still in St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital. Disease hospital treatment.

But what is the use of treatment? After so many years, there is still no improvement.

He went to the hospital to see them some time ago, and when he saw their silly and stupid looks, he thought that he would be like this, and almost wanted to commit suicide immediately.

"I heard that Frank's son will enter school next year...Oh, I thought about taking care of that child before, but I didn't expect that it would be like this..."

Just when he was sad, a white thing suddenly broke into his eyes.

At the door of the office, a white envelope seemed to have been pushed in through the crack of the door, lying quietly behind the door.

"what is this?"

Crohn did not pick up the envelope immediately. Instead, he took out his wand and cast a danger-detection spell. When he found nothing unusual, he lowered his guard.

I'm overthinking this. This is Hogwarts. How can those people still come here?

Tear open the envelope and find the following contents:

["What to do to extend your life if you're under the Unforgivable Curse" is a very interesting book, but it probably won't completely solve your troubles. 】

[If you are determined to give everything, I can provide you with some help. 】

[The woods behind the school hospital at 21:00 in the evening]

【Your strange, well-meaning friend——The Star of the South】

Crohn read a few simple lines for five minutes.

A turbulent wave surged in his heart, especially when he saw the words 'Extreme Southern Star', he seemed to see that brilliant white light again before his eyes.

"Can you help me?"

What did he mean? Since he knew that I was reading this book, he would definitely guess that I was hit by the Cruciatus Curse, but he actually said that he could help me?

Is it...

Does he have a way to suppress the Cruciatus Curse?

Crohn's eyes suddenly opened wide, with unconcealable ecstasy on his face.

He never thought that the other party could completely cure the Cruciatus Curse. There were no counter-curses for the three unforgivable curses. This was the consensus of the magic community.

He thought the "Ultimate Star" meant there was a way to suppress the pain of the "Cruciatus Curse" and delay his own madness.

"As long as it can be suppressed, as long as it can be suppressed for three months..."

"What's wrong with giving everything!"

……

……

Not to mention the excited Crohn,

William is concentrating on practicing magic spells.

In order to meet Crohn at night, he specially found a magic spell to learn unexpectedly - the Disappearance Charm.

The Disillusionment Curse is a favorite spell used by Aurors. It has a chameleon-like effect. If the caster is strong enough, this spell can even make people completely invisible.

The principle of the invisibility cloak is based on this magic spell, but the magic effect on the invisibility cloak will disappear over time.

And the effect of this spell is only invisibility, and cannot hide the sound.

This spell was obtained thanks to Madam Pince. When William asked her about the spell to become invisible, she immediately recommended this spell.

And under William's entanglement, Mrs. Pince taught him step by step, during which she received countless looks from her eyes.

But he didn't care and felt:

"This spell is pretty cool."

Teaching it once was enough, and William was able to perform it successfully the second time. Now he only needs to practice a few more times to master it.

……

……

It gets darker, darker, darker.

The tower of Hogwarts was slowly shrouded in darkness, with only sporadic lights illuminating the small space.

William glanced at the time, put on his black robe leisurely, and covered his hood.

Under the wide hood, his facial features were completely covered, and only his fair and handsome neck could be seen.

"This will be...an exciting meeting..."
