A Guide to Getting Locked Up in Azkaban

William was clearly also disliked by Hermione.

Why would that girl come to see him so early in the morning instead of sleeping? It's because she's nervous and worried about the final match tonight.

Hermione also felt tightness in her chest and anxiety; she needed comforting!

All right...

So William began to speak:

"A great wizard once said that the best way to relieve stress is..."

What is it?

Sitting on the Ravenclaw sofa, Hermione squinted at William.

William sensed a hint of shark energy, his smile faded, and he said in a serious tone:

"It's about learning a foreign language."

"Learn a foreign language?" Hermione looked at William suspiciously.

Does this really relieve stress?

She had no idea such a good thing existed!

"Then we can go learn hieroglyphics. The library isn't open yet, but I still have your notes..."

Hieroglyphs is the name for the mature writing system of ancient Egypt. It is composed of ideograms, phonetic symbols, and diacritics, and is a word-syllabic script.

During the Paris attacks that year, Arya's last words were in Ancient Egypt, and she herself went to Egypt.

William and Hermione were planning to go to Egypt sooner or later, so they had been learning the language.

However, William has no intention of studying now; his talk of learning a foreign language has something else in mind.

Seeing that Hermione really wanted to learn a foreign language, William quickly explained the time loop.

"So, you mean I won't remember anything tomorrow?" Hermione asked, chin in hand, deep in thought.

"That's wonderful..." she exclaimed with delight.

"Are you going to make me touch the Opal Necklace again, record the curse's effect, and then tell you when the time loop ends?" William said.

Hermione raised an eyebrow and grinned. "Looks like I've said that a lot already."

"Yeah, a lot of times." William shrugged.

The price he paid was that he was cursed by Hermione many times.

For example, abandoning something will cause kidney pain (what a strange curse!); lying will cause graffiti to appear on your face; breaking a vow will render you speechless...

During this period of time, William witnessed a great many curses. The variety and the trickiness of their power made them almost impossible to defend against.

He was also aware of Hermione's terrifying talent in this area.

Even if she doesn't become a minister, she can become a rich woman just by selling "love contracts" to witches.

There's a huge market demand.

And this stuff works better than Amortentia.

"Okay, so what else haven't we done...?"

Hermione quickly got into character as well.

Having gone through so many cycles, they must have done a lot of interesting activities.

Hermione has no memory, but that doesn't stop her from taking risks.

William thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you out for a race today."

I fought all night yesterday and was even killed by Voldemort.

But for William, it was something that had just happened not long ago. He needed to slow down today and continue fighting tomorrow.

"Can you leave now?" Hermione asked, frowning.

She was certainly aware that William was trapped in the time loop and unable to leave the boundaries of Hogwarts.

Unless something unexpected happens within the time loop that she is unaware of.

Someone died outside the school? You went to see Vivian?

Hermione is indeed exceptionally intelligent; she immediately grasped many things from just one sentence.

"Barty Crouch Jr. made his move?" she asked again.

William nodded and explained the situation between Vivian and Voldemort.

"I see..."

Hermione nodded, but only thought about it briefly before giving up.

She'll lose her memory tomorrow; thinking about it is pointless.

And... William will definitely handle everything.

"Let's go, let's find some excitement." Hermione stood up, looking eager to try.

Despite saying he was going out to play, William went to see Professor Snape first.

Nothing much, just wanted to ask... are there any acute poisons that are guaranteed to kill?

He needs to soak his sword; he'll give Voldemort a little surprise tonight.

Not fighting Voldemort doesn't stop me from killing him.

At the beginning of the fight, Voldemort will definitely be careless, which will give you the opportunity to poison him.

When he heard that William wanted poison, Professor Snape didn't ask him why, seemingly quite relieved!

Professor Snape went straight to the deal, and Merlin began to make his demands.

There aren't any big requirements, just that Akali's Mystery Shop help dispose of the Potions that have gone bad during brewing.

You know it's bad?!

Do you really think William's place is a wastewater treatment plant?!

Well, William agreed without hesitation, indicating his willingness to help.

William's generosity made Professor Snape somewhat uncomfortable, even suspicious.

He always felt like Shidake was digging a hole for him somewhere.

This is truly an injustice to William.

Snape himself was that kind of person, so he naturally assumed that everyone else was no good!

Okay, if it weren't for the time loop, William would definitely have tricked the professor.

Professor Snape is a professional at getting paid to do things.

He immediately gave William the new type of poison he wanted, repeatedly warning him to be careful, as it was the kind that kills instantly upon contact and has no antidote.

William doesn't believe a fool.

Professor Snape was a man who always liked to keep something in reserve.

He wouldn't give William poison without an antidote.

He must have the antidote; he's just waiting to sell it to William at a high price.

Old Zhou has been skinned alive.

It's alright, it's just a time loop anyway.

William will eventually trick him into revealing all his poisons, antidotes, and the recipes for all his newly developed Potions... oops, I mean, switch them all out!

William wants to trade a dragon for a Potions recipe... I ask you Professor Snape, are you tempted?!

Anyway, he didn't remember it the next day.

William poisoned the sword, and then added Basilisk poison.

He didn't tell Professor Snape that the sword was meant to kill Voldemort.

It wasn't that I was afraid he wouldn't believe me, but rather that I was afraid of scaring him.

Therefore, if William really used this sword to poison Voldemort... Professor Snape was not innocent either.

After lunch, William asked Hermione to write to Rita, instructing her to visit Little Hangleton's grave that evening.

Big news!

Rita wrote to inquire what type of news it was.

William had given her a lot of information, and every time it was big news.

William wrote to her, telling her that Minister Fudge and Umbridge would be going there that evening for a group activity, and asked her to come and take some photos.

Rita was immediately shocked. Minister Fudge was actually playing in a cemetery?

That's the Ancient Tomb Sect's way of playing.

Rita had seen perverts, but never one this perverted.

This is big news! She decided to go there early that night to stake out the location and gather information.

William also wrote to Sirius Black, telling him he could go out and play that day.

If you encounter Auror or a wizard from the Ministry of Magic, just mention the name Stark... and you'll be fine!

Of course, it's okay even if you get captured by Auror.

William will go to save him!

Having learned from last year's experience, Sirius trusted William and the other two's words completely.

William and Hermione, in particular, completely outsmarted him.

Even if you're not very smart, you need to learn to trust others.

Besides, he had more faith in William's abilities. If he were captured, William would definitely be able to rescue him from Azkaban.

Since William had said so, Sirius wasn't one to back down. Besides, he'd been cooped up at home for a year and was getting restless.

It would be a waste not to go out and have fun.

He planned to first go to Gringotts openly and honestly to get some money from his vault, and while he was at it, stroll Diagon Alley and buy some small gifts.

That evening, he went to Hogwarts to visit his godson Harry, giving him a surprise and catching him off guard.

They also sent some gifts to Anne and the others.

In the afternoon, William led Hermione out of Hogwarts.

I definitely won't participate in tonight's match; I'll leave it to Anne to impersonate Hermione.

Although it's a time loop, to ensure his sister's safety, William tells her to wear Invisibility Cloak and go find Malfoy after the match to steal his Felix Felicis.

Anne's safety is now guaranteed, and as for Little Horse... William is just creating an opportunity for him and the female zombie!

As they walked out of the school gate, Hermione asked:

What should we do now?

"Have you ever played a game called Grand Theft Auto?" William asked, raising his wand.

"No." Hermione shook her head. "What game is it?"

A Knight Bus sped towards us.

William laughed:

Strictly speaking, it's an Azkaban prison guide...
