Harry's Hickey

The matter concerning Sturgis is shrouded in mystery.

No normal person would go to the Ministry of Magic in the middle of the night, let alone deliberately break in.

It couldn't possibly be Dumbledore's mission either, Department of Mysteries doesn't have anything the headmaster wants.

William, however, needs to go there.

It was already broken before Voldemort turned Ravenclaw's Diadem into Horcrux.

According to Nicolas's investigation, Ravenclaw did it intentionally.

She used Prehistoric Mysteries related to time to allow the Diadem to withstand the erosion of ten thousand years, which is why it became Scabbers.

Ravenclaw is quite a wild woman; she single-handedly destroyed two Deathly Hallows.

But William wouldn't give up... Although the Bronze Ring couldn't be used to leave the school, at least it could be used to travel within the school grounds.

Surely this Diadem can't just become scrap metal, can it?

However, repairing the Diadem is not an easy task.

Besides unlocking Nicolas's Book of Alchemy, William and Hermione devised another strategy:

Time versus time.

The Time-Turner is powered by Hour-Reversal Charm.

William prepared to channel this magic, releasing it onto the Diadem to reverse its original state.

Therefore, the Time-Turner from the Department of Mysteries came in very handy.

William had been planning to storm the Department of Mysteries and steal the Time-Turner.

However, only he and Hermione knew about this plan.

Dumbledore wouldn't send Sturgis to help with the investigation, would he?

William and Hermione thought it over and over, and there were only two possibilities.

First, Fudge did it.

He deliberately brought Sturgis to the Department of Mysteries, then seized the opportunity to capture him and imprison him in Azkaban.

The problem is, targeting Sturgis is absurd... he's not a key figure in the Order of the Phoenix.

Fudge would never do such a thing, yet he kept it completely secret.

He's surrounded by people like a sieve; none of them have the ability!

Secondly, others controlled Sturgis and allowed him to infiltrate the Ministry of Magic.

It's very likely that they are Death Eaters.

But why the Department of Mysteries?

Is he trying to steal the Time-Turner like Tywin did back then?

If that's the case, then the person hiding behind it is in the same line of work as William.

As the saying goes, rivals are enemies. William must kill his rival and help the Ministry of Magic protect the Time-Turner!

However, no matter how he speculated, William had no further details and couldn't analyze much.

After chatting for a while, William and Hermione returned to their carriage.

Even if you're Prefect, you still need to learn how to slack off.

But as soon as he reached the door, he saw someone who was both unexpected and yet perfectly logical.

--Malfoy!

Crabbe and Goyle were on either side of him; it seemed Pansy had been shaken off by Malfoy.

He deliberately ditched Pansy, but secretly came to find Harry... Upon closer examination, one can discern many implications that are best left unsaid.

They start arguing as soon as they meet; that's the usual procedure.

At this point, the two sides had already started arguing and were still exchanging words.

Of course, given the close proximity and the flying saliva, it's not a huge problem that Harry and Malfoy were exchanging bodily fluids, as you mentioned.

Malfoy wiped the saliva from his face and deliberately dragged out his words:

"Mind your manners, Potter, or I'll send you to Slytherin for solitary confinement!"

He shook his Prefect Badge and laughed:

"Don't disbelieve me! I'm the Prefect now. Unlike you, I have the right to punish others."

Malfoy fiddled with the badge, much like a primary school student who had just received his three stripes and was showing it off everywhere.

"Really?" Harry scoffed. "We're definitely different. You're a glutton, so please leave us alone."

Ron burst into laughter.

Malfoy said viciously:

"Tell me, how does it feel to be defeated by Longbottom, Potter?"

"If Longbottom can become Prefect, it seems Dumbledore thinks you're even dumber than him."

And you, Weasley! You still have a problem with that? The Champion scored zero points?!

Goyle and Crabbe laughed even louder.

Ron was so angry his face turned purple. He grabbed Mimbulus mimbletonia, which Neville had placed on the windowsill, and threw it at Malfoy.

To be honest, Ron may have inherited the talent of the twin Beater, Mimbulus mimbletonia throwing the ball precisely into Malfoy's mouth.

Malfoy instinctively shut his mouth, but Mimbulus mimbletonia, when stimulated, would spray out a large amount of liquid.

Sap spurted out from every boil on the plant.

Streams of sticky, foul-smelling, dark green liquid sprayed onto the ceiling and windows of the carriage.

The beef balls looked like they had exploded, with a patina that looked like they were about to urinate.

Ron stood behind Harry, the juice didn't spray onto his face, but it looked like he was wearing a sticky, dirty green hat on his head.

Harry fared even worse, getting sprayed all over his face.

Malfoy cried out in terror, but the more he tried to shut his mouth, the more juice gushed out.

Malfoy inexplicably recalled that in the Second Task of the Triwizard Tournament, the octopus had treated him in the same way.

"Quick... save... me!" he mumbled.

Goyle and Crabbe exchanged a glance, and Goyle reached out and grabbed at Malfoy's mouth.

But the ink also sprayed all over his hand.

Crabbe was the most direct; he immediately raised his hand and slapped Malfoy across the face.

Mimbulus Mimbletonia was thrown out, crashing into the windowsill and then hitting Ron on the head.

"I've been poisoned! I'm going to die!" Malfoy lay on the ground, rolling around frantically.

Holy crap, is this poisonous?!

Harry stared at Malfoy for several seconds, then quickly reached into his mouth as if to spit it out.

Ron also knocked the fluid off the head.

Harry clutched his neck again; there was a mosquito bite there. Had the venom already seeped in?!

Ron hurriedly said:

"Harry, you'll be fine once it's sucked out!"

Once, Fred was bitten on the buttock by a poisonous snake, and he asked me to suck out the venom for him.

I have a lot of experience with this!

Harry nodded hastily, urging Ron to hurry up.

Ron, unperturbed, replied:

"This is basic first aid knowledge: never suck if you have a mouth ulcer! Luckily, I don't have one."

Ron hugged Harry and gave him a hickey on the neck.

When William entered the carriage, he witnessed this horrifying scene:

Malfoy lay on the ground, convulsing, saying it was poisoned and he was about to die.

Goyle and Crabbe each performed first aid, one pressing on his chest and the other giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

Harry, meanwhile, sat in a chair, utterly enigmatic.

It looked like it was enjoying itself, but it also seemed a little itchy, as it was making little whimpering noises.

Ron was lying on his neck, seemingly sucking his blood or doing something else, no one knew.

William said speechlessly:

"Stop yelling, the stench isn't poisonous."

Hermione drew her wand and said, "Scourgify!"

The foul-smelling liquid has disappeared, and the smell has completely vanished.

Upon seeing William and Hermione, Malfoy immediately stood up, glared fiercely at Harry and Ron, and hurriedly ran away.

Harry pushed Ron away and touched his neck.

A noticeable hickey had appeared where he couldn't see it.

It looks like a birthmark.

A moment later, Anne returned with Luna and Ginny; it turned out they had gone to buy snacks from the lady with the shopping cart.

No wonder Malfoy dared to provoke them; he specifically chose to do so when Anne wasn't here.

Sitting in his chair, Harry talked about what had just happened.

Ron unpacked the snacks Anne had bought and frantically stuffed them into his mouth, angrily saying, "Damn it, if I were the Prefect, I'd give them to Malfoy..."

"The Prefect can't deduct points from the Prefect!" Ginny reminded him.

"But I can get some leverage over Crabbe and Goyle..."

"Prefect shouldn't abuse his power, Ron!" Hermione said sternly.

"Yes, that's right, but Malfoy would never abuse his power," Ron said angrily.

"He was just trying to deduct points from my and Harry's score."

"So, you're going to lower yourself to that level?!"

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Anne suddenly held up two cards, winked at Hermione, and defused the situation:

Chocolate Frog has released new cards.

William put his arm around Hermione's waist to calm her down, and then pulled her closer to Anne.

The two were immediately stunned; the two cards contained photos of William and Hermione, respectively.

There are also some achievements on the back.

They actually got Chocolate Frog Card?!

Wait a minute... why hasn't William received his GG fee?
