A magical journey that begins in Azkaban

Although he had flown once, Rogge still had to concentrate on driving to ensure that the airship returned to the UK safely. In the cabin of the airship, Bellingrum ran back and forth excitedly, his eyes fixed on the paper, calculating the potential profit of each cargo.

"We are here." Rogge's voice was low and firm. He held the joystick tightly, his eyes passed through the clouds, and stared at the turbulent ocean below, "The volcano should be nearby. Do you plan to jump down by yourself, or do you want me to help you?"

Bellingrum's eyes moved quickly, and he said with a hint of pleading: "Can't it be shipped directly to the American magic world? I am willing to pay an extra 1 Galleon for shipping."

"1 Galleon? Are you sending beggars?" Rogge coldly rejected Bellingrum's proposal and took the wand back from him.

After paying an extra 100 Galleons, Bellingrum landed on the desolate island with the cargo distressed.

It stared at Rogge, its voice full of dissatisfaction: "Next time I will never ask you for help! You are still ripping off passengers!"

"Do you think I am willing?" Rogge rubbed his sore shoulders and righteously retorted: "Your skills are really bad, you can't even control the driving properly."

He complained and flew back to the airship, ignoring Bellinrum's angry eyes, and disappeared in the distance where the sea and the sky met.

"Hehe, I'm rich." Bellinrum suddenly showed a cunning smile, and its fingers gently scratched the stones of the deserted island, leaving a string of mysterious runes. As the runes were completed, a deep tunnel opened in front of him.

At the same time, Rogge was busy looking for a secret berthing place for the magic airship. The sky was full of satellites, and the airships without the illusion spell had nowhere to hide under these eyes.

He suddenly recalled that when he and Bathsheda went to the magic forest in Eastern Europe, they passed through the Shetland Islands. This archipelago located in the north of the British magic world, facing Iceland and Norway, is an ideal hiding place.

The airship has the ability to sail underwater and can hide quietly under the sea of ​​the Shetland Islands. Roger skillfully manipulated the airship and made it slowly enter the waters of the British wizarding world like an ordinary Muggle cruise ship.

Because this place is remote, there are not only few wizards stationed here, but they are also used to being lazy. At six o'clock in the morning, it was time to sleep soundly, and I didn't notice the arrival of the airship.

Roger carefully guided the airship to Deepwater Bay, then quickly left and flew in the direction of Hogwarts. Although the Scottish Highlands are not far from the Shetland Islands, flying back and forth is also a hassle.

He thought to himself: "Maybe I should ask the mermaid how Durmstrang's big ship entered the Black Lake?"

But after some consideration, he temporarily gave up this idea. The Black Lake is part of Hogwarts, and no ship can enter without the permission of the principal.

"But it's a waste of time to fly back and forth like this every time." He looked at the sky that was gradually brightening in the east, and the speed of flapping his wings increased a bit.

In the past, he could use a portkey or travel through a fireplace. But now the Ministry of Magic's Transportation Department is extremely strict, and all unregistered portkeys are considered contraband. Most importantly, portkeys are prohibited from being used to teleport inside Hogwarts.

Although you can apply to open a floo network, you need to provide necessary materials to prove the necessity of opening it. For a place like the Shetland Islands where there are few people, there are very few wizards living there, and any application may attract unnecessary attention and curiosity.

Roger can't guarantee that all the staff of the Ministry of Magic are clean and have no intersection with Voldemort.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he couldn't help but sigh: "Do we really have to dig a tunnel from Hogwarts to Shetland?"

When he thought of the distance between the two, he couldn't help but shudder. He complained in his heart that if the fifth-year curriculum included Apparition, the situation would be very different.

Unfortunately, Apparition is open for registration in the sixth grade, and wizards will be guided by the Apparition tutor of the Ministry of Magic. This super teleportation ability is very magical and very dangerous. If you are not careful, your body will be separated.

"Find a chance to ask the Ministry of Magic to see if you can learn in advance." As he thought, he folded his wings and landed in Hogsmeade Village.

Although he had a note signed by Mr. Snape, he did not want to let the whole school know that he left school at night. Therefore, he decided to return to Hogwarts through the secret passage.

As a thousand-year-old castle, no one knows how many secret passages there are in Hogwarts. Only Rogge knows about the secret passages of the hunchbacked one-eyed witch, the fourth-floor mirror, the whomping willow, and the flatterer. Those that have not been discovered, there may be more.

Except for the secret passage of the whomping willow, he has only heard of the others. However, he has always kept in mind the hunchbacked one-eyed witch secret passage leading to Honeydukes.

Rogge wondered if it was opened by a little wizard who loved candy very much when he was a student. It may even be the masterpiece of Dumbledore, a candy lover, when he was a student.

While the owner of Honeydukes had not yet gotten up, he quietly entered the candy store. The store was filled with the sweet aroma of candies, and colorful packaging bags sparkled on the shelves, like charming goblins full of temptation.

None of the shelves and goods had anti-theft spells, as if they were waiting for the students to put them into their pockets. Roger brushed past them and walked straight into the depths.

The exit of the secret passage was in the cellar. Following the messy footsteps on the stairs and the dirt that did not belong to the store, he quickly found the trap door. When I opened it, I saw that there were two hundred steps below. I don’t know what the people who built it originally thought.

"Is it because you want to lose weight by climbing the stairs after secretly eating the candies?" Rogge smiled and shook his head, simply not delving into the issue further.

He has the wings of Daedalus, so he doesn't have to climb down slowly, he can just fly along the stairs. Flying all the way to the bottom of the stone steps, a long slide leading to Hogwarts appeared in front of you.

His feet just touched the bottom of the slide, and the whole slide quickly turned into a long stone staircase like a swimming snake.

"Let me go, there are at least 3,000 stone steps here, right?" Rogge smacked his lips, showing respect for the perseverance of the wizards who used this secret passage.

Before the slide deforms, it takes about 10 minutes to slide down from the top, which means that students who use this secret tunnel have wear-resistant and high-temperature iron butts and pants.

The exit of the secret passage is located on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle, in Gosmoor's Gunhilda Corridor. When used from the outside, the "left and right separation" spell needs to be uttered to allow the hunchbacked witch sculpture to open the exit. But to get out, just push the statue away.

Roger quietly pushed away the hunchbacked witch sculpture and carefully stuck his head out to make sure there were no other students in the corridor. He glanced at his watch and said to himself: "There are still three minutes left for class."

At this moment, Peeves suddenly emerged from under the floor, his colorful hat swaying in front of Rogge, and he shouted loudly: "Oh, Filch, come on, there is a student here who stays up all night!"

Rogge immediately stopped and responded to Peeves' provocation: "Peeves, be careful, I'll let Bloody Barrow deal with you!" Upon hearing this threat, Peeves screamed and disappeared instantly. No trace.

However, its appearance reminded Rogge of a magical item that had been gathering dust for a long time: the disappearing cabinet. A set of two disappearing cabinets can ignore space distance and magic defense, allowing people to instantly transfer to another cabinet.

He bought the disappearing cabinet from Bojinbok Magic Store a long time ago and kept it at home to collect dust. The reason why Peeves reminded him of this incident was because the vanishing cabinet in Hogwarts was broken by this guy.

"Where is the vanishing cabinet now?" He glanced hastily at the corridor, but with the upcoming class in mind, he quickened his pace and ran towards the Transfiguration classroom.

In the last few seconds before the school bell rang, Roger rushed to the classroom out of breath. Professor McGonagall nodded to him, motioned for him to sit down quickly, and then began to check the students' mastery of the disappearing spell.

"Where did you go last night?" Daphne asked secretly while Professor McGonagall was at the other end of the classroom: "I didn't see you back all night." Her eyes flickered with suspicion.

"Why are you running into my room?" Rogge grabbed her hand playfully and raised a teasing smile: "Did you miss me?"

"Who missed you, a big bad guy!" Daphne stepped on him lightly and asked relentlessly: "Did you secretly date someone else?" "

"A date?" Rogge pretended to be surprised and said half-jokingly, "If you mean working with goblins, then so be it."

"I knew it..." Just as a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, she laughed at the word goblin, "Are you really with a goblin?"

"Of course it's true. When did I lie to you?" Rogge let go of her hand, kicked her lightly, and signaled Professor McGonagall to come over.

Professor McGonagall seemed to know something about the antidote to the snake-man virus that Rogge was researching, so he did not pursue the issue of his lack of concentration. After checking Roger's homework, she continued towards the other students.

"I have been doing some experiments recently, so I am not at the academy most of the night." Rogge explained softly. Daphne smiled sweetly and said with concern: "Don't be too tired. I heard that Harry Potter is no longer needed. I went to the dean for tutoring.”

"If you encounter problems in your potion research, you can ask the dean for help."

A trace of doubt flashed in Rogge's eyes. Harry Potter was not going to learn Occlumency from Snape. Could it be that they found other ways to solve his nightmare problem, or that something else happened...

Considering Professor Lupine and Sirius, Harry now has no choice but to learn from Snape.

He looked curiously towards the first row of the classroom, where Harry and Ron were discussing in a low voice about Hagrid. Neville sat behind them, looking like he wanted to join in the conversation but never found the opportunity.

Compared to Hermione who likes to show off her knowledge, Neville's grades make Harry and Ron more uncomfortable. In the past few years, except for Neville's outstanding performance in the herbal medicine class, he basically failed in other courses.

Especially in Potions class, even with Roger's help, he often became the target of Professor Snape's sarcasm and sarcasm. But after he returned to normal, not only his performance was greatly improved, but his Quidditch skills were also recognized by many players.

Neville's performance in all classes so far this school year has been recognized by his professors. As roommates, Neville's growth and changes made Harry and Ron feel uneasy and embarrassed.

They could accept the fact that Hermione had always been a top student, but it was difficult for them to accept the counterattack of a former scumbag who became a top student. Because this not only highlights Neville's progress, but also indirectly exposes their own shortcomings.

Especially, the sense of superiority in their hearts is disappearing rapidly as Neville's grades improve.

Harry Potter turned around and invited enthusiastically: "Neville, how about going to see Hagrid with us after class?"

Ron next to him had a sullen face and looked unhappy. Since the establishment of Lionheart Shield, he felt that Harry was particularly concerned about Neville. It seemed that Ron himself was the redundant person around Harry.

He recalled last year's Triwizard Tournament, when Krum from Durmstrang became Harry's good friend. They played Quidditch, swam together, and discussed magic together, which made Ron feel deeply lost and frustrated.

Fortunately, Krum has returned to Durmstrang and is playing for a professional team. Today, they only keep in touch through letters. But Neville eats and lives with them, which makes Ron feel that Neville is more threatening than Krum.

When Harry found out that he and Neville had the same birthday, he was almost as happy as if he had found his long-lost half-brother.

Ron was worried that if this situation continued, he might no longer be Harry's best friend, and might have to add "one of" after him, or become an ordinary friend...

He was full of contradictions and uneasiness, and the strong sense of crisis made it impossible for him to be friendly to Neville. In particular, he was surprised and jealous of Neville's progress.

In the past, although Ron's grades were not good, he was definitely not the bottom of Gryffindor. After all, with Neville, he had already won the last place except for the Herbology class.

Now, those good days are gone forever. If he doesn't work hard, as a class leader, he might be the first in the class this school year... the last.

He glanced at Neville with a little resentment, turned his head and pretended to listen to the class seriously, but his eyes fell on Harry's face.

He realized that he needed to find his own value, rather than just relying on his early acquaintance with Harry. He must find a way to make the friendship between the two inseparable and indestructible!

Harry didn't notice Ron's thoughts. He just thought that Neville leaving the Jackdaw Magic Society and choosing Lionheart Shield was the right choice.

Moreover, Neville also lent them homework to copy and was even willing to help with the processing of herbs. Especially the coincidence of being born on the same day of the same month of the same year made him feel a natural closeness to Neville.
