376 Godric's Hollow, cemetery, goat gravestone, Aberforth

Godric's Hollow is named after Godric Gryffindor, the founder of Hogwarts, who was born here and left his name in history. Many wizarding families live here, such as Bashi, the author of "A History of Magic" Da Bagshot, and the Dumbledore family.

After just learning that the owner of the Pig's Head Pub is Ephias Dorje, not Aberforth Dumbledore, Karan has the idea of ​​​​going to Godric's Hollow - he is going there to look for clues and find Clues related to Albus Dumbledore.

In this magical world, the duel between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald was advanced seven years. After that, the two men disappeared and no one knew whether they were dead. Or disappeared inexplicably.

It was during these seven years that Dumbledore was absent from Voldemort's school career at Hogwarts. No one could see through the disguise of the polite Tom Riddle, and even more so during his school days. Six Horcruxes divide his soul into seven parts.

In Karan's view, this may be a fatal turning point for the world.

And this turning point happened just because of one person - Albus Dumbledore.

Even Karan was unable to solve at least [-] Horcruxes, and the strange locket gave them a warning - the time before Voldemort went completely crazy was getting shorter and shorter, and they must seize all available time and power. .

Only Dumbledore.

At this time, the first person Callan thought of was Albus Dumbledore.

He alone is the hope to end the war.

And what Callan did happened to be in line with the prophecy of Professor Sybill Trelawney - the person who brought hope for the end of the war.

For the sake of concealment, the four of them did not go to Godric's Hollow all at once. Hermione suggested waiting until night so that fewer people would find them.

During the daytime chat, Callan learned that James had not moved to Godric's Hollow, but was living in Diagon Alley, where Harry grew up, because of his hair oil business.

After learning about the prophecy of the Savior, the Snape family moved to Spider-End Alley for safety, which was also the place where Snape and Lily were killed.

None of the families related to Harry have ever appeared in Godric's Hollow - this is good news, because Voldemort would not have predicted that the four of them were about to go there, and there would have been no corresponding arrangements - for example Bathilda Bagshot was disguised by Nagini. In the original timeline, Harry and Hermione suffered a lot at the hands of Nagini. In that sudden attack, even Harry's holly wand was destroyed. was broken.

This time they no longer have to worry about attacks, but the trio are still a little curious about Karan's purpose - they don't understand why Karan cares so much about a wizard who doesn't know whether he is alive or not.

Karan gave his reasons.

"With Dumbledore, the world would be a completely different place."

This vaguely ignited the hope in the hearts of the three people, and Karan himself did not lie - he realized one thing clearly - even in the original world line, the person who really played the key role in defeating Voldemort was Albus Dun Bullido.

Without him, there would not have been any follow-up - including the clues to the Horcruxes, and most importantly - Harry's resurrection from the dead.

Dumbledore knew what the key to solving Voldemort was, and he also knew Harry's role - a Horcrux that carried Voldemort's broken soul. To defeat Voldemort, Harry must die - at least once.

Although that was not a real death, and what Voldemort destroyed was just the fragmented soul hidden under Harry's body, the courage to face Voldemort directly was still unimaginable.

Dumbledore has been helping Harry grow up to the point where Harry is brave enough to face all this alone - what he saves is not only the entire magical world, but also Harry's life, which has been destined to be miserable since birth.

This is what Callan recognized most about Dumbledore - he was full of love for Harry. While he wanted to defeat Voldemort through Harry, he did not ignore Harry's own fate, but hoped that he could continue to live. Go down.Live safely and happily.

The small talk lasted for a long time, during which Karan not only talked, but also occasionally asked the trio some questions.

"You mean the invisibility cloak?" Harry said while groping in the luggage: "By the way, I remember that when we first discovered you, you were wearing an invisibility cloak. As for us - we found it, here it is for you .”

Karan took the cloth that was like running water, and after carefully observing it, he gradually became silent.

There is no mistaking it, this is the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak.

Harry was still introducing: "This invisibility cloak belongs to my adoptive father James. He gave it to me when I first entered school, saying it would bring me good luck and asked me to keep it well. Of course, I don’t mind if I use it.”

Not only is it good luck, perhaps among the four, only Karan himself understands the significance of the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak to the Potter family - it is a symbol of inheritance, but now it has been broken by James on his own initiative.

His love for Harry really exceeded Callan's expectations - maybe this is the difference between James and Snape.

Until the last moment of his death, Snape loved only Lily. Although he had gradually become righteous at that time, the person he truly loved in his heart never changed.Snape wanted to see Harry's eyes, because they were very similar to Lily's, and they reminded him of Lily - which was always the beauty in his heart.

But James is different - after he matures, he is willing to share his kindness with more people, even if the other person is the child of his mortal enemy.He is willing to share his love with Harry, including the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak, the symbol and inheritance of the Potter family.

These are just Karan's guesses, and more details may only be known when he meets James.

Callan sighed softly and returned the Deathly Hallows Invisibility Cloak to Harry.All three of them noticed that Karan's mood seemed a little low. They packed all the luggage alone without asking Karan to help, leaving him silently thinking about the next plan by the campfire.

"hope everything is fine."

Hermione said with a sigh after packing all her belongings into her handbag.

Karan glanced at the dim sky around him. He stood up and walked under the invisibility cloak that Harry had set up.

"It will go well." He said firmly.

Then the four of them spun together into the suffocating darkness.

When they opened their eyes again, the four of them were standing hand in hand in a snowy alley, with the dark blue sky above their heads, and the first stars were already twinkling.

Some houses line the narrow alleys, their windows glowing with Halloween lights.Not far ahead, golden street lights showed that it was the center of the village.

This is the village of Godric's Hollow. Hermione looked down at the ground. She frowned and said, "There is a lot of snow. Let me remove the footprints."

Harry did not take off the invisibility cloak directly. Callan was protected between the three of them. He whispered: "First we have to find a way to find that house - the Dumbledore family lives in a very remote place."

The four people took action quickly. They walked past several shops, a bar with cheerful music constantly playing, a post office, and a small church. The stained glass windows radiated like jewels across the square.

They walked to the middle of the square, where there was no longer a statue of the Potter family.

Karan stared at the empty square for a while. Then he noticed the gate of the cemetery and stopped involuntarily.

"Wait a minute." Callan whispered again, staring at the door and unable to move away: "Let's go to the cemetery to take a look and first determine whether the Dumbledore family lives here."

The three of them had long been accustomed to some of Karan's strange behaviors, and they discovered that the student in front of them, who had no past, knew more than they thought.No one rejected Karan's proposal, but Ron's body involuntarily tightened a lot: "Do you really want to go? I always feel like there will be a lot of spiders in there."

Hermione hated it and patted Ron's shoulder hard, but Ron didn't do anything. Instead, Hermione's palms turned red because of his rock-hard muscles.

Ron finally walked into the cemetery behind the church. He stood at the back of the team in fear. Callan couldn't help but laugh, while Harry and Hermione felt very embarrassed.

"Can you help me teach George and Fred a lesson when you go back?" Ron curled up his huge body and begged Callan: "At least don't turn the doll into a spider!"

"Keep your voice down!" Hermione said angrily, raising her palms, but after hesitating for a while, she didn't lower them again.

Rows of snow-covered tombstones stand on the light blue silver carpet, dotted with dazzling red, gold and green light spots, which are the projection of stained glass on the snow.

They walked toward the depths of the cemetery. Karan carefully identified the inscriptions on the ancient tombstones, and occasionally looked into the surrounding darkness to make sure there was no one else around.

"Karan, here!"

Harry, who was two rows away, suddenly waved vigorously. Callan and Hermione walked over quickly. Ron was worried that he would be left alone, so he quickly chased after them.

They bent down and saw that on the icy, moss-mottled granite, there was carved Kendra 6 1 Dumbledore, with the dates of birth and death below and his daughter Ariana.There is another motto:

Where the treasure is, there is the heart

Callan narrowed his eyes slightly - so the Dumbledore family did live here, but why didn't Ariana survive?

This is different from the era he lived in, but Karan still remembers another thing - whether in the current world or in Karan's original generation, Dumbledore's nose was broken. It could only have been Aberforth, and that's what was supposed to happen at Ariana's funeral.

But in Callan's parent generation, Ariana did not die, so why did Dumbledore's nose break?

Everything becomes more and more confusing.

"Hey," at this time, Ron suddenly pointed to a tombstone next to him and said, "I think you should take a look at this."

"What's wrong?" Hermione quickly looked over curiously, her face immediately becoming surprised: "There is no name or date of death, why is there only one pattern? Is this -?"

"Goat." Karan frowned and said, "That's a goat pattern."

The whole thing became even weirder. Karan found the tombstones of Kendra and Ariana, and at the same time found a tombstone with a goat pattern next to it - the one buried inside was definitely not a real goat, and Karan Lan remembered that goats were Aberforth's favorite animal.

Aberforth...could he be dead too?

Is this his tombstone? !

"You...you stay here."

Karan suddenly said anxiously: "No one knows me here. I'm going to ask around now. I must find the residence of Dumbledore's family as soon as possible."

The three of them watched in stunned silence as Karan left the cemetery and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

"Is he going to be okay?" Ron asked worriedly.

But before the three of them could worry for too long, Karan came back alone again, looking like he was relieved.

"I heard about it," he said, and asked Harry to take out the invisibility cloak: "It's on the edge of the village. I know how to get there."

Hermione asked curiously: "Are you sure it's okay?"

This is also the doubt in the minds of the other two - Karan's young appearance is so confusing that it is difficult not to make people doubt his ability.

"Don't worry." Karan said with a smile: "My forgetting spell has never failed. The local Muggle resident will not remember anything."

This startled the three of them, but they were not referring to this kind of problem.

"He is indeed the one who brings hope." Ron could only comfort himself: "The action was straightforward enough."

Hermione then praised him: "My magic talent is not bad either."

"Are you serious?" Harry blinked in confusion.

"Don't worry about such trivial matters." Karan interrupted helplessly: "Hurry up and find Aberforth and be obedient. In terms of seniority, you should all call me uncle."

"Why not Professor Callan?" Hermione looked at this child who was actually younger than the three of them in a funny way: "Your magic talent is so high, the school will definitely be willing to recruit a professor like you."

Karan immediately pouted: "Forget it, I like magic, but I don't want to be bound, even to Hogwarts."

In the increasingly relaxed atmosphere, the three of them walked through the quiet streets. They kept asking about the situation related to Aberforth, and they were all full of curiosity about Dumbledore's mysterious brother.

"His condition...seems a little bad." Karan said hesitantly: "People in the village say he is an old madman, and no one is willing to approach his house."

It turned out that Karan’s information was not wrong - when the four of them walked to the destination house, everyone was stunned for a long time.

The house in front of me looked very dilapidated at first glance. It seemed that it had not been repaired for a long time. There were withered fences and branches and leaves everywhere in the yard. The windows were dark inside, as if no one had lived in it for a long time.

"Is this really here?" Harry asked suspiciously.

Even Karan couldn't help but review the route. He finally replied with a strange expression: "Yes, this is it."

"It looks like a haunted house." Ron commented honestly, his expression became a little timid: "There must be a lot of spiders in there."

"Okay, don't be in a daze." Hermione rubbed her arm hard. She looked warily at the darkness around her, always feeling that something would suddenly appear there.

"Who's going to knock?"

No one speaks.

Hermione stared at the three boys in disbelief: "Are you going to let me go?"

"Forget it, let me come."

Karan finally said: "Still the old rules, you stay here, I will knock on the door. This is safer, no one will know me."

No one knew what Aberforth's specific condition was, so it would be better for the trio not to risk being exposed at the beginning.

Harry quietly handed a pistol to Callan, and Ron wanted to take out Gryffindor's sword, but Callan refused.

"He won't get a chance to hurt me."

Karan said shockingly: "Because before that I will hurt him first."

The three of them stared blankly at Karan walking out of the invisibility cloak alone. Ron looked at his two companions and whispered: "Are all the third-year students in the past so good? What classes did they take? ?”

"Mysterious Man Defense Technique?"

At this time, Karan had already walked to the door of the house, and the ash wood wand was hidden in the cuff of his sleeve under the pull of the magic thread.

He took a deep breath and raised a fist.

At this time, before Karan knocked on the door, the door suddenly opened.

A figure stood silently at the door, startling the three people under the invisibility cloak. Karan almost pointed his wand at the other person.

Aberforth had already taken out his wand in advance, the lenses were covered with dirt, and his light blue eyes were fixed on Karan - he seemed to be very vigilant, and he immediately noticed the surroundings of the house even in the middle of the night. Someone shows up.

But Karan's age still made him hesitate.

"Whose child are you?" Aberforth asked.

With just this sentence, Karan understood that the so-called madman was just Aberforth's disguise, and he was very sober.

This made things much simpler. Karan waved back, and the invisibility cloak was immediately taken off, revealing the trio.

Aberforth raised his wand first, but he soon recognized Harry, the Boy-Who-Lived.

Harry stood nervously in front of Aberforth. He said in the way Callan had taught him: "We need your help, sir."

Aberforth looked at the four of them, his blue eyes bright and sharp.

After what seemed like a minute, what seemed like a century, Aberforth finally spoke again.

"I've been waiting for someone to come to me, but I didn't expect it would be you kids."

After saying these puzzling words, Aberforth immediately urged: "Okay, all four of you, come in quickly. Why are you standing around? Are you waiting to be discovered by Death Eaters? ?”

"And you!"

Aberforth directly stretched out his hand and dragged Karan into the house: "How can a little kid like you stay with the savior? Do you want to save the world?"

Karan was about to retort, but was suddenly stunned.

He stared straight at the wand in Aberforth's hand, and he could see it more clearly as he got closer.

It was the same material as one of his two wands.

Elderberry.

Fifteen inches.

Thestral's tail feathers.

[Elder Wand].
