Chapter 64 On the eve of another wave of exams
When William contentedly put the book on the table At the time, the stomach that finally got the attention immediately issued a warning to him.

Rubbing his neck, which was a little stiff from long reading, William looked at the time - it was half past twelve.

'No wonder I'm so hungry, I forgot the time when I read the book. '

William began to put away the books and notes on the desk while he helpless ranted about himself.

Putting the notes into the paper bag containing the test paper and clipping it, William picked up the thick stack of books and left the desk next to the Restricted Section.

At the moment, the library is empty, obviously the students have already rushed to the dining hall for dinner, but Madam Pince didn't leave, sitting near the door, holding a book with keen interest pleasure while reading. .

“How much to borrow?”

Madam Pince said hello and clicked quill next to it - it immediately copied the title of the book and the borrower on the parchment .

"By the way, professor, the longest borrowing time for each book is half an academic year. If you need to renew the loan, you must come and register once."

This is because other professors did not return it. Has the book experience been pitted?
Agreed with a smile, William simply returned to his office with a pile of books - anyway, it was past dinner time, so let the house elf bring some food over.

'An endless book, a high salary, a house elf who has almost become a private servant, and a group of students who can tell them the big truth as it should be by rights. '

William thought as he ate lunch from Bart the Elf.

'If it wasn't for that damn curse, this job would be a dream job, right? '

'But if there really isn't that curse, how could the professor of this school get me? '

…

'I keep thinking about what to do with those who don't have it! Pull down here and make up there. You have been studying for nine years in compulsory education alone. Hogwarts has only seven grades in total. Your study time is more than double that of those students. It will continue like this, what are you worried about? '

William shook his head vigorously, throwing away any bad thoughts that had popped up -- Azkaban's repercussions again.

Those dementors shouldn't exist in this world!
He relaxed his tense nerves today, and the negative emotions that had been suppressed these days kept rising.

Even though it has been a while since he came out of Azkaban, the experience during that time really had a profound impact on William, even if he chose to stay in the bar and rely on the huge traffic of the bar to disperse the stubbornness on his body. The taste of Azkaban still failed to completely get rid of the habit of being forcibly cultivated by recalling sadness every day.

'I will never come back for dinner alone when I can go to dining hall, I have to stay in the crowd. Fortunately, there are enough people at Hogwarts. '

Thinking of this, William couldn't even stay in the room any longer. He called the elf to deal with the rest of the food, and he couldn't wait to stuff the chocolate into his mouth.

——

"William? Why are you here so late?"

"I've been in the library for a while, and I went back and put some things away, so this is it. Ordered."

William responded to Adams' question with a smile, and took a look at Professor Alchemy, who was seriously dealing with lamb chops.

"Why didn't I see you in the morning, Professor Singed?"

"A good night's sleep is more important than breakfast."

You said no Come and be done - how busy alchemy's timetable is!
William couldn't help but feel ashamed. Just now, he almost caused a series of bad thoughts because he was able to free up time in his course. Look at others and then look at himself. The performance just now is simply good-for-nothing!
"Come on, Singed, I picked flowers last night for a whole night, and got up early today to complete the task. You just have less courses, otherwise it depends on whether you dare to do this!"

Adams finished complaining with a look of disgust, then looked all around, and found that the other professors didn't pay much attention to this, so he secretly asked;

"William, your face is not very good. , is it sick or is it?"

"Maybe I'm a little hungry, just ate some chocolate, and it's better now."

"That's fine, if something doesn't feel right , go to Madam Pomfrey, Professor Snape is actually better at it - but, he knows you, ahem, you know."

Professor Snape has always wanted to be a Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the entire school. A well-known secret, even if William changed his name, it still couldn't change the professor's resentment towards him - just like all professors knew that Professor McGonagall had always looked down on Professor Divination Technique.

But with Adams being so distracted, William was reminded of what he was doing—if it wasn't really indecent to pat his head in front of a bunch of professors, he must have done it now.

There is a potion!

Actually, the repercussions that have troubled him for a long time can be dealt with completely by the euphoria. Although the side effects are not small, the consequences are not very serious if they are not taken daily.

Don't even think about it if it's a school tool, Professional Snape is the head, you can give up getting public tools from school.

'Go to Gringotts this weekend to open up your own vault and take out the tools. The school's office is also a place to live. I don't know when the school will come in handy. '

William silently added an item to his plan of action.

But just as he was thinking about it, Adams' voice came again.

"Okay, that's it, everyone has no class on Wednesday afternoon, so I just went to Hog's Head for a drink - being a professor is good, but it's annoying that you can't go to a public pub for drinking. "

Wait!

I was thinking about the question just now, and the answer was almost casual, um, etc. How did you negotiate?
"Wednesday is a weekday, so it's not good to drink?"

"It's okay, to celebrate the welcome of new colleagues, Professor McGonagall will turn a blind eye, and the students I taught last year have Two-thirds passed the OWLs."

In a daze, William's Wednesday afternoon was scheduled, and Adams didn't even talk about the subject and started talking about this year's Quidditch match.

This topic was obviously more open than the previous topic, and it didn't take long. Several professors next to him also participated, and they seriously discussed who should be the winner of this year's Quiddich League.

Professor McGonagall in the middle of the auditorium even stared at it several times because of the loud noise.

"Don't worry, William."

Adams didn't even forget the little revelation when he talked about the game.

"Don't look at Professor McGonagall's unconcerned appearance, she is a member of the school's Quidditch team, and when it comes to Quiddich knowledge alone, no one at this table knows as much as she does."
