Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Stephen and Rowan finished the lunch in front of them like a storm, showing no interest in the negotiations not far behind them.

"Hello, Stephen. Can I take some of your time?" Professor Keyes appeared behind them.

"Well, long time no see, Professor Case. Of course, are we talking here?" Stephen turned back to look at Case. He almost didn't recognize Professor Case in front of him, with his disheveled hair and disheveled clothes, but his eyes were quite bright. There is God.

"I think this is not a good place to talk about things." Professor Keyes smiled and turned to look at the negotiations at the Gryffindor table. "Come to my office, Mr. Kenner, I have a favor for you." Sorry for staying here for a while."

"It's just a small matter, Professor Keyes. I happen to be going to the library too."

"That's good." Professor Keyes smiled and nodded, "Then let's go, Stephen."

Stephen followed Professor Keyes to the door of his office. Professor Keyes hesitated slightly, then turned around and showed a slightly embarrassed smile.

"I guess you'll have to put up with the terrible conditions in there."

Stephen nodded, indicating that he was fine.

Professor Keyes put his hand on the handle and opened the door. Several books slid down to the door with his movement.

"It's a bit troublesome to find a place to stay." Professor Keyes waved his hand and placed the slipped book on the top of a stack of books. "Okay, come in."

Stephen walked into the office. He observed the environment in the office. The floor of the office was filled with various books and notes, and there were also a lot of experimental equipment in the corner.

"Sit down." Professor Keyes took out his magic wand and turned a book into a chair. He placed it opposite the desk. He walked to his seat and sat down. "Let's keep the story short."

"Professor, what did you want to say when you called me here?" Stephen was a little confused, and he had little to do with Professor Case.

"You should know that I will leave my job at the end of this semester." Professor Case calmly conjured up two cups and asked, "Can I have coffee?"

"Thank you. So what do you want to say, Professor?" Of course Stephen knew that Professor Case would leave Hogwarts at the end of this semester, both because of the influence of the curse and the arrangements made at the beginning of the semester.

"Some of my work has not been completed, but unfortunately I don't have time to finish it." Professor Case gently pushed the cup filled with coffee in front of Stephen, "I think you can finish it on my behalf. Work."

Stephen felt something was wrong. What Professor Case said seemed to be similar to Jacob, "Professor, I don't quite understand why I can complete your work."

"Stephen, I think you have a guess." Professor Keyes smiled, "I have helped you solve the hidden dangers in the school, but don't let your guard down. Compound potion, I think you understand its function. "

"You mean r"

Professor Case snapped his fingers, "This can be considered one of my responsibilities as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Principal Dumbledore entrusted me to solve possible dangers in the school, so I eliminated them. But this did not It does not mean that the school is safe now, so don't be careless. The secrets hidden in the treasure house are not only related to the safety of Hogwarts, but also pose a threat to the British wizarding community and even the entire world."

"It seems you know this very well, I should call you"

"I am Melen Keyes now, the real Keys." Professor Keyes smiled, "Stephen, don't rely on the path others have taken. What I have done can only serve as a reference for you."

Professor Keyes pulled out a red-covered notebook from the drawer. He put the notebook on the table and opened it. "Experience can not only make people grow, but also restrain growth. What I do is try my best to turn it into theory." .”

"So are you done?"

"Complete." Professor Case picked up the cup and took a sip of the coffee inside. "Far from it. This is a big project that can never be completed by one person alone."

"So what should I do?"

"This is your own path." Professor Case put down his cup and his expression gradually became serious. "This is just an incidental research field, but it is not a task that you need to complete for me."

"So what is the real mission, the cursed treasure house?"

"To be precise, there are seven treasure troves." Professor Keyes finished this sentence in a calm tone, "But just finding them is not enough."

"so"

"That's all I know." Professor Keyes stared into Stephen's eyes. "What you do after you find them depends on the person who finds them. It could be you, it could be a Death Eater, and It could be r, maybe Muggles can find them too."

"I understand, I have three questions." Stephen thought for a moment.

"Of course, you have the right to ask questions, just tell me."

"First, why do I have to do this? Second, even if I need to find it, I need to study in Hogwarts for seven years. How do I leave Hogwarts to find the treasure? Third, I don't think I have such a strength."

"Your concerns are very reasonable." Professor Keyes thought for a few seconds, "I will answer them one by one. Regarding your first question, this is for yourself, and of course, for the magic world."

Stephen looked at Case, waiting for him to finish all his reasons.

"Jacob Tony used a very special magic to drag you from other worlds, I think I should use the word drag, to the world you are in now. And it was precisely because of this act that all the seals of the seven treasure houses were disappeared, so as one of the parties involved, I think you should be responsible for this incident."

"Of course, this may be a bit far-fetched. I personally think the most important reason is: you don't belong here, so your soul is actually quite dangerous. If you don't want to die early, you can undoubtedly find the treasure house and seal it. Save your life."

"As for the last two questions, you don't only have 7 years. It may be shorter or longer, depending on how long you can live." Professor Case's tone was still so understated, even if his words were announcing a The death penalty of man.

"Ability issues are not the key. Finding the right method will allow you to solve these problems before others." Professor Case stood up and looked back at the scenery outside the window. "The notes on my desk will give you some help."

He turned back to look at Stephen, "Goodbye then, Mr. Tony."

"Wait a minute, professor, are you really not Jacob?" Stephen stood up in a hurry and asked.

"No." Case smiled, his body gradually becoming transparent, "Of course not, even though I really wish I was."

Stephen looked at the changes in Professor Case's body, and he felt very surprised, "Professor, what are you doing?"

"I am just the storage body of Jacob's will, and my task is to guide you." Professor Keyes pointed to the notes on the table, "Now my task is completed. Goodbye, Stephen, or rather, the stranger."

"Goodbye, Professor Keyes." When Stephen finished these words, Professor Keyes disappeared completely.

"Has Jacob's research reached the level of the Big Four... Then is he still alive?" Stephen picked up the note, "But the most important thing is my own life."
