The Daily Prophet's backroom dealings
Harry died again, and Ron died with him.
However, the two were not killed by Voldemort, but rather fell to their deaths while jumping down from the trapdoor.
William could imagine the scene:
Harry opened the trapdoor and bravely looked at Ron.
He wanted to hear Ron, disguised as Jack, say, "You jump, I jump!"
Unfortunately Ron, transformed into Inception, gave a slight Little Leo and cleanly and decisively refused.
In the end, Harry could only laugh it off and leap off, and Ron, realizing his mistake, followed suit.
Then...
Two loud thuds followed, and before they even had a chance to cry for help, they were smashed into a bloody pulp.
They died a horrible death!
Harry's death was inevitable, but William never expected that without Hermione's help, he and Ron would end their journey at the trapdoor.
Are those two out of their minds? Seeing such a deep hole, didn't they think to find a rope?
I really don't know whether to call it courageous or foolish!
This time, the Basilisk didn't kill many people.
The match ended in fifteen minutes; it didn't even last until it came on the field.
During the game, Cedric's shooting percentage was too poor. He shot from the half-court line, but missed every time, which seriously disrupted Ravenclaw's tactics.
The team's key scorer kept missing shots, and Cho was also affected. Slytherin's Seeker caught the Golden Snitch in just fifteen minutes.
In just fifteen minutes, Cedric brilliantly completed his role as an "actor".
He shattered his opponents' confidence, broke his teammates' mentality, and shattered the youth of the Ravenclaw students!
Waaah... My youth is over, I'm never watching football again!
After Cedric landed, he was slapped hard across the face by Penelope.
At the time, Cedric had not yet recovered from Polyjuice Potion, and many wizards were saying that William had toyed with Penelope's feelings, which was why she was so angry.
William didn't go back to his dorm that night; he didn't want to get beaten up, so he just slept in the Room of Requirement.
When he woke up the next day, he was back in his bed in the Ravenclaw dormitory, and everything was the same as before.
William approached Cedric again and reassured him that he wouldn't be beaten.
William felt bad that Cedric was always getting beaten up, so he decided to find the twins to compete for him in a while.
William's daily routine is quite healthy. He set a small goal: a seven-day cycle, five days of study and two days of play, strictly adhering to the class schedule.
William's lying skills have reached the Max level; he can always come up with the most plausible reason to trick the professor into teaching him.
The hardest one to fool is Professor McGonagall, a die-hard Quidditch fan. Only by watching Quidditch Match can one learn from her.
William had no choice but to repeat the same approach as before: ask Dumbledore to write him a note.
William primarily studied Animagus under Professor McGonagall.
Transforming into Animagus takes several years, transforming a person into the animal most suited to them, but failure is possible, so transformation also requires courage.
Advanced Transfiguration can also forcibly turn a person into an animal; Professor McGonagall can turn William into a cat at any time.
However, this Transfiguration is only temporary, unlike the Animagus which maintains its form for a long time.
With Professor McGonagall's help, William continuously Transfiguration his body, and he planned to raise his Transfiguration skills to a higher level in this cycle.
Once he leaves the time loop, we can proceed directly with preparations for the Animagus.
William also went to Snape's medicine hut to brew Potions.
He had Professor Snape's key, which Cedric and the others had taken during their time in the Forbidden Forest, and now it came in handy.
William would occasionally take Hermione on adventures, and the girl would always look shocked, as if afraid that Snape would trap them inside.
However, Snape wouldn't come; he was heartbroken and wept every day over Potter's death.
William would occasionally go to the Headmaster's Office, offer feigned comfort to Snape, and then shed a few drops of eye drops.
This is always a source of joy for him.
William plans to save these memories once the time loop ends, and then send them to Snape after graduation.
Of course, William was also unhappy.
Saturday happened to be the day of the Daily Prophet's lottery draw.
The Daily Prophet's raffle has five prize categories.
The first prize is 2200 Galleon, the second prize is 700 Galleon, the third prize is 44.3 Galleon, and the participation prize is a bar of soap with Dumbledore's image on it.
If these prizes are not drawn, they will accumulate into the grand prize until the grand prize is drawn.
Currently, no one has claimed the grand prize for seventeen consecutive months, accumulating to a staggering 20,000 Galleon.
Saturday night was the draw day, and after William learned the numbers, he sent an owl to buy the winning numbers the next morning.
Unfortunately, when the lottery results were announced that evening, the winning numbers for the grand prize published in the Daily Prophet had changed!
On the third day, William didn't buy the winning numbers, and the numbers reverted to the original set.
Similarly, William also bought first prize tickets several times, and the numbers would change at night.
William now realized that this was a scam targeting consumers; the first and grand prizes were probably bought up by internal employees!
It's a shady operation!
Fortunately, the second and third prizes were not rigged.
William decided to wait until the time loop ended, then claim the two sets of prizes according to the numbers.
It's at least seven hundred Galleon!
As for the soap with Dumbledore's image, whoever wants it can have it.
William spent six months in Professor Babbling's office, and his level of Ancient Runes improved considerably.
Then, he gradually reduced the frequency of his visits. Although he could still see long legs every time, it was always the same scenery, which became boring.
William had a pretty good idea of the professor's personality; she was a woman with a terrible temper and a fondness for snacks.
William had a rough idea of Babbling's identity; in any case, she wasn't human.
William was speechless; Dumbledore really did recruit just anyone.
During the time loop, William also met many classmates.
Hogwarts was only so big, William only interacted with a few people every day, so he made friends everywhere.
William's reputation speaks for itself; back in school, he was known for his elusive nature, spending most of his time outside of class in the library and the Room of Requirement.
Many people want to get to know him, but they don't have the opportunity.
William was suddenly surprised to find that there were actually so many students at the school.
What surprised William the most was that those Slytherin students who usually seemed to dislike him were actually quite easy to get along with when no one was around.
For example, Malfoy... William's most loyal client.
