A One-Way Ticket to Azkaban

William pondered silently, realizing that there were too many suspicious points in the principal's words.

Especially the part about Professor Snape.

Since Dumbledore is unwilling to say, there's no way he can know. However, one thing is certain: Snape is on Dumbledore's side.

The letters that were never sent are the best evidence.

Dumbledore twirled the blue gemstone ring on his hand and continued:

"Because of this hatred, Tywin used Polyjuice Potion to transform into Snape's appearance when he attacked the Ministry of Magic, just to frame him."

I suspect that Tywin was also in Diagon Alley on the day Arthur and Malfoy fought. He took Malfoy's wand, partly to frame Malfoy and partly to cover his tracks.

"As for where Tywin got Snape's hair, he had a conflict with Snape on the day he applied to Hogwarts, and that's probably when he got it."

"Then why did he attack Professor Snape's medicine pantry at night?" William asked.

"Many Potions were lost that night, including Polyjuice Potion, which means he ran out of Polyjuice Potion."

That Potions couldn't be stored for very long, and since the attack on the Ministry of Magic, the Auror Office had increased its monitoring of the black market.

Tywin probably thought it wasn't safe to buy from outside, as it would be easy for the Auror to find out. And Snape just happened to be captured and taken to Azkaban.

He then stole Snape's cabin.

"Professor, I have another question," William asked Dumbledore.

"Is this the last one, child?" Dumbledore asked jokingly.

"Oh, yes," William said with a smile.

"I remember losing the door knocker once, why is it back?"

"Ravenclaw set up a special spell to prevent the door knocker from being forcibly removed."

If her successor hadn't taken it, the door knocker would have remained just a door knocker, never becoming Ravenclaw Ring, and it wouldn't have had any special effects.

Tywin, being inexperienced, had no choice but to return the stolen door knocker.

After returning the door knocker, he planned a second theft, using a ritual from the Three Books of Occult Philosophy to deceive the door knocker into believing that Tywin was Ravenclaw successor.

Until he entered the Room of Requirement, was bitten by Fluffy and critically wounded, and was on the verge of death, then you took the door knocker and put it on your index finger, truly becoming the successor of Ravenclaw.

Dumbledore stirred the Pensieve, and a human figure immediately rose from it—a girl of eleven or twelve years old.

--Judy Crouch!

Judy's face was filled with fear. She was still standing in the basin, not even glancing at William and Professor Dumbledore. When she spoke, her voice echoed as if it came from the depths of the basin.

"Professor Tywin told me that he was the one who found the door knocker, and he even asked me to secretly throw it back into Ravenclaw House. He said he likes me and wants to go on a date with me... I can't refuse, Professor Dumbledore!"

William suddenly realized.

It turns out that Judy Crouch put the door knocker back; everyone knows she's always liked Tywin.

Clearly, Tywin took advantage of Judy's affection for him, deceived her, and used her.

William understood everything perfectly.

The ring on William's right index finger suddenly became scorching hot, and an eagle flew out of the ring and perched on William's shoulder.

It stared at Dumbledore, then glanced at Fawkes, and suddenly grabbed William by the shoulder, pulling him up.

William was caught in a whirlpool of confusion, and when he awoke again, he was already in his own bed.

William looked around; the dormitory scene was exactly the same as yesterday.

Today is still April 20th.

The ring on his index finger was gone. William knew his cycle was over. Tomorrow would be the 21st, and he had to make the most of today.

William got dressed and saw Marcus embracing Bradley, the two of them pressed tightly together.

It's truly an eyesore; the two have been sleeping in the same bed for over 700 days straight, and William has long since gotten used to it.

He quickly finished washing up and hurriedly left the dormitory.

The common room was crowded with people, most of them chatting excitedly.

Autumn and Marietta sat in the corner, trying to Transfiguration the tattered hat.

Both tried for a while without success. Other wizards also tried, but nothing changed.

"Good morning, William," Autumn greeted him when she saw William.

William greeted him, but did not sit down after approaching.

He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the hat.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and prepared to witness the genius of Ravenclaw.

William's reputation as a genius had long been known throughout the academy; one only needed to look at the points he had earned to prove it.

However, students from other grades had never seen William transform before; this was the first time he had done Transfiguration in front of everyone.

William's lips moved slightly, and he tapped his hat. The hat transformed into a black eagle with a single tuft of hair on its head.

The eagle let out a loud cry, flew around the college lounge, and landed on the shoulder of the Ravenclaw statue.

William whistled, and the eagle circled again, then swooped down and landed steadily on his hand and shoulder.

William smiled, extremely pleased; this was simply a display of skill!

After two years of rigorous training and with Professor McGonagall's meticulous guidance, his Transfiguration have long since been transformed and are no longer his weakness.

He changed his hat countless times in the time loop, but no one could remember it; that feeling was actually quite boring.

Today, however, is different.

William twirled his wand in his right hand and touched the eagle's forehead. The eagle transformed into a bronze hat, and on the brim, a roaring honey badger was depicted.

On the other side of the hat was written: May the friendship between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff House last forever!

William handed the hat to Cho, and everyone applauded wildly for his superb Transfiguration.

Autumn's mouth gaped open, as if she had seen the Cybertronians invasion.

Marietta looked at her with such adoration that anyone who didn't know better would think she was about to offer herself to him.

William was all smiles; this pleasure was even better than drinking Felix Felicis.

He turned to leave, but Qiu caught up with him, exclaiming in shock, "William, how did you do that?"

"I could have done that a year ago."

"Nonsense! Do you think I don't know what level you were at a year ago?"

Qiu pinched William's arm, and seeing the painful expression on the boy's face, she was sure he wasn't dreaming.

"Yeah, if it's a dream, then it should be a dream about how powerful my Transfiguration is, right?" Qiu muttered to herself.

Her worst Transfiguration. Although Cedric liked to tutor her, her grades were too poor for him to handle.

One can only say that pain and pleasure coexist.

"Where are you going?" Qiu asked, seemingly preparing to leave with him.

"I'm going to find Professor Tywin. You wait here for me, I'll be right back."

Why are you looking for him?

I have a train ticket to give him.

What ticket?

"Azkaban... one-way ticket!"
