The man behind Hogwarts

The roommates were still asleep at this time, and seeing William's actions immediately aroused everyone's curiosity.

"William, are you going to explore the castle at night?" Roommate A asked enthusiastically, "It's rare to see you doing this kind of activity. Where are you going to explore? Do you want me to come with you?"

"I'm not going on an adventure, I just made an appointment with a friend." William shook his head and did not agree to his application for team formation.

The curiosity in roommate A's eyes was even more intense.

Meeting at night?

Is it an event for their club? Should I follow it secretly?

He thought that the manual he made about the 'Gem Club' still lacked a lot of information. If this was really an activity of their club, it must be very important. How could his manual lack this part.

Without further chatting, William opened the door and left.

The moment he went out, roommate A jumped out of bed without changing his pajamas. He put on his coat and opened the door quietly.

The moment he poked his head out, he was stunned.

"Huh? What about people?"

There was only dim candlelight in the empty corridor, let alone human figures, not even ghost figures. "Did he already arrive in the common room? Why so fast?"

He quickly followed, holding his breath and trying not to make a sound.

But to his disappointment, there was no one in the common room either.

Just when he was dejected, a voice suddenly appeared next to him: "Why are you following me?"

"Who?!" Roommate A almost jumped up in shock. Countless horror stories flashed through his mind, "Who is talking?"

William laughed out loud.

There are so many ghosts in Hogwarts, and you can often bump into them when walking. It stands to reason that the young wizards should be more courageous after such training, but why is roommate A still so afraid of ghosts?

He was standing next to roommate A, but he couldn't see himself. This feeling was amazing.

Not only roommate A can’t see him, but William himself can’t see him;

Is this the effect of the 'Illusion Body Curse'? It is indeed very professional.

He casually dispersed the 'Illusion Body Spell', and then his body appeared, "I'm here, don't yell, be careful to attract the prefects."

"William!?"

Roommate A looked at William in surprise and joy, and couldn't help but touch it a few times, only then was he convinced that he was not a ghost.

"It's amazing how you did it."

"Don't change the subject and say, why are you following me?" William's face darkened deliberately.

"Ah? I...I thought you were going to participate in the Gem Club's activities, so I wanted to go and have a look." He pursed his lips, "William, are you going to participate in the club's activities? Can you take me with you? I won't disturb you. , just take a look.”

Looking at his aggrieved and pitiful expression, William couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He reached out and rubbed the other person's flowing hair, and said warmly: "I don't blame you. Didn't you like to care about these things before? Why did you suddenly change your interest?"

"I just...want..."

"Forget it, I won't ask anymore." William waved his hand. The way roommate A lowered his head and was confused was a bit unbearable to ask.

"I'm going to lie to you again. I'm not going to participate in club activities. I really just made an appointment to meet someone."

"Oh~"

"Go back to bed and remember not to lock the door."

"Then please pay attention to safety, be careful not to be caught by Filch, and be careful of his cat. You have no experience in night swimming, and you won't let me follow you..."

He kept talking about his night travel experience, and looked at William like a level 99 boss looking at a level 3 novice village rookie.

William smiled and did not interrupt him.

"Finally, you must come back before 11 o'clock, otherwise you may bump into students in astronomy class, and you are not sure whether they will tell the teacher."

"Have you finished speaking?" William patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll remember it, go back to sleep."

"Okay." He turned back disappointedly.

"Wait a minute." William suddenly called him, "If you are interested in the club, I can talk to you more tomorrow."

Roommate A was suddenly surprised and nodded repeatedly.

Watching him return to the dormitory, William chuckled, "He is still a kid after all."

……

……

There is a small forest behind the school hospital. It is darker than inside the castle. The light moonlight falls in the woods. Although it adds a touch of light to the place, it also adds a mysterious atmosphere.

The tree branches are showing their teeth and claws, the wind is whimpering, and the wizard in the center of the forest has a fluttering black robe.

William still cast the 'Disguise Curse' on himself, but did not cover up the sound of his footsteps, letting his shoes make a 'squeaking' sound on the leaves.

With the moonlight illuminating him, he found Crohn, who was standing like a wooden man.

"Wow!"

He deliberately stepped on his feet a few times, causing Crohn to turn around suddenly;

Seeing that there was no one in front of him, he was not as surprised as Roommate A. Instead, he spoke to the air in front of him: "Here you are, my strange and well-meaning friend - the Star of the South."

He quoted the title from William's letter as if to express his goodwill.

"Shouldn't you know that I'm coming when I enter the woods?" William said calmly, but what he was talking about was the case that happened in the library before. That time he especially remembered the other party's 'invasion spell'.

"No, I didn't cast the 'Invasion Curse', so I didn't discover you in advance." Crohn shook his head, "Actually, not only did I not cast the 'Invasion Curse', I also didn't cast the 'Super-Sense Curse', so although I knew You cast the 'Disguise Curse', but I couldn't find you either."

William nodded and remembered a knowledge point: the 'Supersensory Curse' should be able to discover the 'Illusion Body Curse';

He asked directly: "I want to make sure first, have you been hit by the Cruciatus Curse?"

Crohn's calm face changed, and his eyes brightened significantly: "Yes, I was hit by the Cruciatus Curse. Do you... have a way to suppress the Cruciatus Curse?"

"I am almost unable to suppress the heart-breaking pain. According to my estimation, I can survive for at most half a month. When I cannot suppress the pain completely, my spirit will inevitably fall into madness."

"If you have the means, I beg you to help me once. You only need to help me suppress it for three months. I am willing to give everything."

Give everything,

Crohn directly stated his bargaining chip,

The other party clearly stated this in the letter, and he made the decision before coming.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come.

William was stunned for a moment, "He thought I could only help him suppress his pain? And it was only for three months? Is the requirement so low?"

"Why three months?" He became curious about this term of time. "Are you willing to give everything to live for three more months?"

hear this,

Crohn's expression suddenly turned as cold as ice;

His eyes burst out with a frightening killing intent, but he immediately gritted his teeth in pain.
