347 Jumping Pot, Memory, Linfred, Peverell
Karan never expected that this time would involve so many things - he learned that Linfred, the ancestor of the Potter family, met the three Deathly Hallows brothers, and that the three brothers also helped Linfred hide the jumping cauldron. Inside this small room.In the end, we also learned the real reason why Leopard Cat appeared in Stinchcombe - he was forced by Baggett, who had disappeared for a long time, to help him find the Hopping Cauldron hidden in Potter Manor!
And just now, under everyone's eyes, Baiget seemed to have achieved its ultimate goal--jumping into the jumping cauldron!
"Is this... a jumping cauldron?" After Baiget disappeared, James was finally no longer controlled by fear. He couldn't help but said: "Fairy tales are actually true?!"
All the little wizards present have read "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" - but now they can't do anything, the wand has become a useless stick, and the terrible stone eye is still waiting for them outside!
"Hide away!"
Callan, the only one with an elder wand, shouted: "Hide under the cloak, hide in the corner of the house -"
He didn't know if this method was feasible, and he didn't care whether the proud James and Sirius would agree to his plan. He didn't even care about the dying cat and leopard - but before Karan finished all his words , the surface of the jumping pot suddenly bloomed with a dazzling golden light - this was countless times more dazzling than Gaspard's glasses!
late!
It was too late when they arrived here. Baiget had already made all the preparations, except for the last step!
Everyone could see nothing but gold. Kreacher yelled for Master Regulus in a panic. James grabbed onto Sirius and Regulus beside him, and was still taking the time to look for the invisibility cloak where it had fallen. Wherever he went, Steve felt Dougal grasping him tightly again, but he could not find any trace of Karan!
Along with the golden light, there were constant banging noises, like someone stamping their feet vigorously. This blocked the sound of Karan casting the Iron Armor Curse and made him at a loss. Even several other people found out where they were. No!
Gradually, Karan vaguely felt that the banging sound was getting closer to him. At this moment, he could only think of Tiao Tiao Cao successfully growing a leg. That was the reason why Tiao Tiao Cao ignored the heir in the story. Punishment of neighbors' difficulties - once the successor does this, Tiao Tiao Cao will first grow a leg, and then replicate the difficulties encountered by those in need of help, surrounding the successor every day and night. The heir refuses to solve these difficulties, and the Tiao Tiao Cauldron refuses to give up, disturbing the heir from even a moment's sleep - until the heir successfully solves the difficulties of all Muggle neighbors, the Tiao Tiao Cauldron will spit out a thick The soft shoes - these are the relics of the heir's father. Only by putting the shoes on the jumping pot's feet can all the noise be blocked.
"do not come!"
Karan shouted in a deep voice, and he suddenly realized that his armor spell could not stop Tiao Tiao Cao's footsteps at all - along with the thumping footsteps, there was also the sound of invisible barriers breaking!
"Steve?! Dougal?! Where are you?!"
Karan is looking for the location of the two of them - he can no longer restrain himself from using the explosive spell. Tiao Tiao Chun is far from being as kind and friendly as he imagined, and seems to be more terrifying than the missing Baiget!
Suddenly, all the noise in Karan's ears disappeared, his vision went dark, and he felt like he was falling in a cold and dark material, as if he was sucked into a black vortex——
"Karan! It's us! Don't do it, Karan!"
Steve yelled and stopped Karan's urge to cast the explosive spell - Karan suddenly realized that the golden light and darkness in front of him were gone, and he appeared in the familiar Linfred's laboratory - except this The place he stayed at once was on the ground, and the surrounding scenery seemed lively, with intact cauldrons brewing potions, and the ingredient cabinets were filled with medicinal materials.
Callan himself, Steve, James, Sirius, Regulus, Kreacher, and Dougal were all here.He even saw a dying cat and leopard on the ground, and an unknown black witch robe in the corner, with two white eyes on the hood.
This is Baiget!
Karan immediately raised the wand in his hand vigilantly, but at this time, Baigete seemed to have really turned into a non-threatening witch robe, unable to react in any way.
Karan glanced at the scene outside the window in confusion - the blue sky was dotted with a few white clouds, and a few plants climbed to the edge of the window - Karan vaguely felt that something was wrong with the scene at this time.
At this moment, Regulus suddenly let out a cry of terror, and everyone quickly looked over - Regulus' arm passed through the crucible where the potion was brewed, as if there was nothing there.
Potter Manor is gone!
Karan blinked, and he finally realized what was wrong - the manor later built by the Potter family was missing, and Linfred's former residence was exposed to the sky!
"We are in memory..." Karan whispered: "Maybe... we are in Linfred's memory."
It's a no-brainer - only Linfred's memory will lead them to his own laboratory.
"Linfred's memory?!" James said in shock: "My ancestor Linfred?!"
"But where is Linfred himself..." Sirius raised the wand in his hand: "Our wand cannot be used even in memory, except for yours..." He looked up Looking at Karan, his eyes stared straight through the long messy hair.
"Karan..." Steve's worried words broke the inexplicable atmosphere: "Can you help this leopard cat and heal its injuries-"
"Are you crazy?!" James asked with strange eyes: "It just attacked your father and mine!"
"That doesn't seem to be the case..." Regulus retorted in a low voice.
Karan had told the story about Baiget long ago - this was for their safety.Among the people present, except for James and Sirius, the other young wizards all knew that there was such an incredible non-existence as Baggett.
After seeing the scene just now, Steve and Regulus also roughly guessed that this was not Cat Leopard's fault at all - it was even resisting Baggett's wishes and did not seriously harm Mr. Newt and Ford. Mr. Limon.
"How do you know so many things?"
After listening to Regulus' explanation, Sirius looked around suspiciously, and James showed his hurt expression again: "Why is Sangster willing to tell you everything? What the hell are you two doing?" What’s the relationship?”
"I..." Regulus, who was surrounded by the two men, suddenly started to hesitate. He looked at Karan as if asking for help, but Karan was lowering his head to check the Cat Leopard's injuries. I don't care about what's going on here.
"Healed as before!" Callan muttered the spell in a low voice. Fortunately, even in Linfred's memory, he managed to cast the spell with the elder wand.But unfortunately.......
"This is the only way we can do it." Karan sighed and said, pointing to the pierced flesh and blood on the cat and leopard's body. The blood finally stopped flowing out, but it couldn't really heal completely. This required More powerful healing spells and healing potions will do the trick.
Steve stared at the wounds on Cat Leopard's body distressedly. Cat Leopard growled softly unconsciously, as if thanking Karan for his help.
Karan's plan to add helpers was completely in vain. He still thought that after Cat Leopard recovered, he could more or less help his side against Baiget when he left his memory.
At the same time, Regulus regained his courage again after seeking help to no avail - he decided to confess to James and Sirius his connection with Callan, which even included the first time the two What happened when they met in the Shrieking Shack - Regulus really didn't want to hide it any longer.
"us--"
boom!
The door of the laboratory was suddenly opened from the outside, and then a figure hurriedly walked in - everyone was startled. Regulus's cheeks trembled and he also cried sadly in his heart: "Here we go again. ?”
The last time he wanted to confess in the bedroom, he was interrupted by Karan under the invisibility cloak, and the result was the same this time.
No one noticed the expression on Regulus's face, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the figure who hurried in - he seemed to be middle-aged, wearing a robe that did not match the twentieth century era. , the hair on his head is messy, and he even looks somewhat similar to James - especially his hazel eyes, which are exactly the same as James.
This was Linfred, the ancestor of the Potter family - no one doubted it.
"Don't be too late, don't be too late..."
Linfred worriedly approached the crucible, filled his spoon with some potion, and took out a crystal clear irregular stone from his pocket - it looked a bit like a gem.
The potion was gently dripped on the stone, and Linfred nervously watched the color change of the stone - gradually turning from transparent to light blue.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Linfred finally breathed a sigh of relief - this seemed to indicate that the preparation of the potion was successful. He then took out a quill and immediately wrote and drew on the parchment. .
"This is the original formula of the Bone-Bone Spirit."
Everyone stood in a circle near Linfred. While struggling to identify the handwriting, James explained: "The parchment recording the formula has long disappeared, but I have heard of the original potion ingredient: fan-shaped geranium. Starscream, puffer fish..."
His voice gradually became lower, and his eyes shifted from the parchment to Linfred's focused expression in front of him.
This feeling is really wonderful.
Hundreds of years have diluted the sadness of life and death. James did not miss Linfred at all, an ancestor he had never met. At most, he only heard about his deeds from Mr. Fremont.
But now, Linfred appeared in front of James alive.
There was no nostalgia in his heart, but he couldn't help but want to completely remember the other person's face.
Sirius also kept comparing the faces of both sides.
"You look so much alike." He sighed.
boom!
Suddenly, the door of the laboratory was opened unceremoniously again, but Linfred didn't even raise his head. He was still writing the original formula of the Bone Spirit. This seemed to be an extremely important thing to him. , more important than anything else.
Karan quickly turned his head and looked over - three men walked in one after another. They all looked younger and younger than Linfred.But the leader's face was fierce, the second man's face was gloomy, and only the third man looked easy to talk to, but the other party also felt a little helpless because of the actions of the first two men.
Karan didn't know which person to look at first - the third person's face shape was also similar to James's, the second person had a silver pendant hanging around his neck, and the leader looked very fierce... .
"Karan..." Steve's eyes suddenly widened. He compared the appearance of the leader and Karan: "You...!"
Karan didn't speak, he just looked down at the elder wand in his hand.
But the leader spoke immediately, with a somewhat angry tone.
"Linfred!" He frowned and said, "What do you mean you invited us over but left us alone?"
The second man's fingers gently circled the locket on his chest, and he said in the same gloomy tone: "We came here specially after hearing the news that you had Salazar Slytherin - in his After leaving Hogwarts, many people have not seen him again, even his once best friend Godric Gryffindor, and this even includes Slytherin's daughter. Linfred, You'd better not let us down. Otherwise..."
He seemed to be the most eager to know the traces of Slytherin, and he had even raised the wand in his hand and pointed it at Linfred, who was immersed in writing the formula.
Karan suspected that he had been tempted to cast the Imperius Curse - this was the twelfth century, and the Imperius Curse was not yet one of the Unforgivable Curses.
Before the third person could stop him, Linfred said without raising his head: "I'm sorry, Antioch, Cadmus, oh, and Ignotus, I'm really sorry, but I It's not that I do it on purpose, but I have to do it for a reason, and you'll soon know why - my Muggle neighbor's bones won't heal, and I'll have trouble sleeping and eating."
"Wait a little longer." The third person, Ignotus Peverell, advised him. He was the creator of the invisibility cloak and one of the ancestors of the Potter family - it was Ignatius Peverell. Notus's granddaughter, Iolanth Peverell and Linfred's eldest son, Hadwin, founded the Potter family.
It's just that now the two seem to have just met. Even Linfred only lives here alone and has not yet concluded a lifelong vow with any lady.
The small house suddenly became somewhat silent. James looked closely at Ignotus's face - he couldn't help but suspect that, just like Linfred, the two faces were also vaguely similar. .
"It seems that we have found where the female ancestor of the Potter family came from." Sirius patted his shoulder and said, "This is really an unexpected surprise."
James nodded silently, and then he and Sirius, like everyone else, turned to glance at Antioch, who was clicking his fingers anxiously.
and Callan, who was standing in front of Antioch.
"You..." Steve asked in a low voice again: "I remember you are a Muggle-born, right, Callan?"
"There are no real Muggles among wizards." Karan said softly: "They are all the offspring of Squibs and Muggles. They have been away from the magical world for generations, and finally inexplicably rekindled the hidden wizard blood. .”
"Muggle-born people are actually descendants of wizards."
Karan had already had such a premonition.
He had already been mentally prepared in advance when he learned that Meadows was a descendant of Antioch - because of the elder wand.
Meadows is different from Callan in that she has not been recognized by the Elder Wand, but the same thing is that Meadows would not have known about the existence of the Elder Wand if Mr. Ollivander had not actively mentioned it.
In the measurement preparation that every wizard must undergo, Mr. Ollivander first relied on the knowledge in the wandology book "Wandro" to conclude that Meadows had the potential to accept the elder wand, so he placed the hidden Bring out the elderberry wand of many years.
Although not recognized by the elder wand, Meadows and Callan have the same potential - this is what they have in common, and this commonality is reflected in the rare wand such as the elder wand. .
The wand chooses the wizard, and the wand is also the being that best embodies the characteristics of the wizard. Now it seems that the similarities between Callan and Meadows are no coincidence. This is because they are also Muggle-born and have a common ancestor. — Antiochus Peverell, creator of the Elder Wand.
Karan couldn't doubt this - he and the Antioch in front of him seemed to be carved from the same mold, and they looked almost identical.
"It's really unbelievable." Karan narrowed his eyes slightly, not only shocked because he discovered his ancestors, but also felt strange because he suddenly had a distant relative like Meadows.
These are real distant relatives. Their bloodlines have become estranged over the course of hundreds of years. Under normal circumstances, even in a foreign country, it is not impossible.
At this time, as if to break the awkward silence, Ignotus suddenly said: "Have you all heard about it?"
"Lady Rowena Ravenclaw has passed away."
Everyone immediately pricked their ears. This is a secret that has been lost for a long time. No one knows what happened during the ancient Big Four period. Even the detailed records have not been handed down, only a few lines of text.
They noticed that Ignotus kept looking at Cadmus's face when he said these words. Even the eldest Antioch paused his fingers and glanced sideways at his slightly older brother. .
"May the Head of Ravenclaw rest in peace."
Cadmus whispered, his voice filled with sadness.
But then his expression turned fierce.
"I also hope that Helena will be punished soon - she didn't even go to see her mother at the last moment before Headmaster Ravenclaw died!"
