From Azkaban To Hogwarts
Chapter 21 Letter of Engagement and Curse
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The rhythmic knocking woke William up from his deep sleep. He rubbed his face, and when he was about to curse, he suddenly remembered that he was no longer in Azkaban - there was no need to rely on scolding to integrate into the group. Done.
With sleepiness, William walked towards the source of the sound.
It was a large brown owl, standing outside the window at the moment, tapping the window rhythmically with its hard beak.
Seeing William waking up, the visitor stopped his movements, spread his wings, and made a sound like a cooing sound.
When the window was opened, this huge guy who was almost unrecognizable as an owl flew in, stopped on the table, and then spontaneously started searching among the debris on the table.
Not long after, a small iron box was pulled out and then opened - inside was a small portion of owl food.
Because the number of owls is almost as much as that of wizards, every hotel will keep a small box in the room as a spare, but this one is obviously a bit familiar at the moment.
Without waiting for William to say hello, it started eating on its own and stretched out its legs towards William.
A light yellow letter was tied to it, and William untied the letter. He originally wanted to say something, but the process seemed to be interrupted by a visitor.
So he had no choice but to open the envelope.
His address was written in emerald green ink, and on the back of the letter, the wax seal was intact and a coat of arms revealed who it was from.
Next to the capital H letter, four animal logos surround it - the coat of arms of Hogwarts.
It should be a letter of appointment, but it's the kind that has no collection value.
William thought mockingly.
At this moment, except for madmen, probably few people are willing to receive the offer letter in front of them. Otherwise, how could Hogwarts go to Azkaban specifically to find him?
After opening the wax seal several times, William pulled out several pieces of parchment from the letter.
The first page is the letter.
Dear Mr. Lee William;
We are pleased to inform you that your application for employment has been approved by the Hogwarts School and the Ministry of Magic. (Did I really write that?)
Your letter of appointment and a series of expenses such as clothing subsidy, settlement subsidy, living subsidy, transportation subsidy, etc. have been attached at the back.
The new semester is scheduled for September 1st. You need to declare your textbook needs and course arrangement application for the new school year one month in advance, and submit a report to the school on classroom and course funding for the new school year.
We will notify students to purchase textbooks for the new school year by sending a replacement letter. If there are any other missing matters, they can go to the Vice President's Office for consultation every Monday or Wednesday before August 1.
Vice-Principal (Female) Minerva McGonagall
On the second page of the letter is William's letter of appointment.
Compared with the employment letter in the Muggle world, there was nothing strange about it. The only thing that made William care a little was his position - on the paper, the line "Wizard Self-Defense Magic Learning" looked wrong.
Although the appointment letter stated that it was for life, William felt that there was a high probability that he would not be able to receive the second year's salary.
Then there are miscellaneous things - the textbook list used by previous professors, the Ministry of Magic's syllabus, the scope of the OWL and NEWT exams, employment precautions, recommended clothing lists, and a series of other things that you don't need to worry about for the time being.
At the end of the letter, there was a large sum of money - I don't know if it meant buying a life.
Three hundred galleons, this is just an advance payment. Salary was not mentioned in the letter. It is most likely that I will go to the school for an interview.
Anyway, as a professor, he only had the option of going to Hogwarts or fleeing overseas. If he dared to go on strike, the Ministry of Magic would directly issue a wanted order for him.
‘Is it that simple that I can become a professor? At least let’s have some sense of ceremony. ’
William looked at the letter in front of him and complained in his heart, but the guy who had finished a box of owl food came over a few times and started to bite his fingers.
"What's wrong? Not enough food?"
William asked with a smile, but the owl quickly picked up the appointment letter again.
He subconsciously looked at it again and realized that the appointment letter was two pieces of parchment folded tightly. There was a place for signature at the bottom among the seals of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts.
"Send it back? Okay."
William picked up the quill pen on the table and signed his name generously. It didn't look very good, but it was still legible.
He wrapped one of the engagement letters in the envelope on the table, tied the letter to the owl's feet, and then watched the visitor spread his wings and fly towards the sky.
[You are cursed and get a new treasure chest. 】
? ? ?
William was stunned—how could he be cursed all of a sudden?
Can there be a manual for this broken system? Why does it have new features every now and then?
I hope the cards this time are more powerful, preferably one that directly removes the curse.
With such expectations, William directly clicked on the treasure box.
On the purple wooden box, a huge eye suddenly opened. Then, a purple mist flowed from the eye and condensed into three purple cards in mid-air.
[Curse (Bone Necrosis) Paralysis; you have been cursed by an evil and powerful enemy. As the curser's mana recovers, you will encounter accidents again and again. These accidents will not directly take your life. But you will eventually lose control of your body.
Duration: Permanent until the caster dies. 】
[Curse (Bone Necrosis) Lost Heart; You have been cursed by an evil and powerful enemy. As the curser's mana recovers, you will encounter accidents again and again. These accidents will not directly take your life. , but you will eventually lose all your memories.
Duration: Permanent until the caster dies. 】
[Curse (Bone Necrosis) Death; You have been cursed by an evil and powerful enemy. As the curser's mana recovers, you will encounter accidents again and again. These accidents will not take you away the first time. life, but you will eventually fall under the curse.
Duration: Permanent until the caster dies. 】
The dilemma of choosing one of the three is now facing William: Pan Dao Noodles and Wonton Noodles.
In other words, is it curry that tastes like shit or curry that tastes like shit.
The last card was a choice that could be ignored directly - after struggling for a long time, William chose the first option with grief and indignation.
He immediately opened the warehouse to check the card information, hoping to get more information from the system.
What had happened had already happened - if he had known about it in advance, he would have served his one-year sentence in Azkaban in an orderly manner, but now that he had lost the bet, he could only find a way to make amends.
There is no use in complaining. At this time, it is crucial to reduce losses.
Necrosis of the Bone: Extremely difficult to eliminate, takes effect once a year, and is almost impossible to escape.
Just that simple sentence, nothing more.
Extremely difficult and almost impossible - obviously the latter is more terrifying, but the former is extremely difficult, and Dumbledore, the first white wizard, could not get rid of it in ten years.
There is only one option left. Find ways to escape the dead end of the first year. Even if you cannot escape, try to minimize the loss - such as being lame.
Then before being paralyzed, use the shortest possible time to find a way to kill that Voldemort!
