413 Anthony in the rain, the final return
[The person who brought hope to the war appeared. The forest that once hosted the Quidditch finals. On the last day of November, the Hufflepuff students quietly appeared in glory. 】
[He is also a person who should not exist. 】
This is what Sybill Trelawney predicted in Callan.
Now Karan has really brought hope of ending the war, bringing the Wizarding War to an end.
But the last sentence disturbed him all the time.
[A person who should not exist. 】
In Harry Snape's generation, there is indeed no sign of Callan's existence. There is no trace of him in the entire wizarding world, and no one knows who he is.
It was as if Karan had never been born at all, which was really unbelievable.
It wasn't until Karan left Godric's Hollow and found himself in Spider-End Alley that he finally understood that the last thing he had to do to return to his original generation was to find a way to make him reappear.
"Sounds challenging."
After listening to Karan's explanation, Gespard asked: "But what should we do? How can we make a person who should not exist reappear?"
Karan carefully identified the surrounding environment, and he quickly guessed the current year - much earlier than 1971.
Maybe, it was also shortly after that rainy night happened.
Just when Karan had this idea, the clouds in the sky suddenly became much denser, and a thunder suddenly sounded, which startled Steve.
"You stay here."
Callan suddenly said with his back to the two of them. He handed Dumbledore his own invisibility cloak to them, which was also the one that Steve collected from the invisible beast.
"I will be back soon. By then we will be able to return to the dormitory of Hogwarts smoothly without any worries or danger..."
The light of lightning illuminated the expression on Karan's face. It was impossible to tell what expression was on it, but it just made Steve feel a little scared.
Steve was worried and wanted to ask, but Gaspard, who knew Karan better, quickly stopped him.
The two watched Karan run away.
They got into the invisibility cloak and found a roof to hide from the coming rainstorm.
Steve looked up at the overcast sky. The darkness seemed to be pressing towards them.
"What on earth is Karan going to do?" Steve finally couldn't help but asked in a low voice: "Why did he have to deliberately leave us two behind?"
In his opinion, no matter what Karan wants to do, the two of them should be able to help.
Gaspard silently pushed up his glasses and said in an incomprehensible tone: "It doesn't matter what Karan is going to do..."
"The important thing is, when he comes back... will he still be the Karan we originally knew."
There are many dangers in the magical world.
Mr. Weasley, who works in the Ministry of Magic, should know this very well. Those are some strange magical items, and they are all related to evil black magic.
Among them, Karan himself has witnessed the extremely terrifying black magic item-horcrux.
Anyone who wants to create a Horcrux must commit the most evil act with his own hands - murder.
Karan didn't know if his soul would be tainted after a while, but it was obvious that no one could help him.
He also needs to reappear, needs to be able to survive.
Raindrops fell from the sky, pouring on Karan's expressionless face.
He took the powerful elder wand out of his pocket instead of the faithful ash wand.
Some things are not suitable for good children to see.
It's time for the bad boy to show up.
Although he had been away from Spider End Alley for a long time, Karan still remembered every street here, and he quickly found a secluded place to hide quietly in the heavy rain.
In a secluded street opposite him, a seemingly tiny child was wrapped tightly in a worn-out rainy night. His arms were bulging with a whole piece of black bread, which the child had received from his dead parents. Bought with the last bit of inheritance.
He walked quickly, looking hurried and a little panicked, as if he was worried about someone discovering his last treasure.
It's a pity that this is Spider End Alley, a place where low-class people live.
The child's parents are long gone, and his situation is not much better than Snape's, and it is far worse than Lily, who comes from a well-off family.
Such a simple thing just won't go so smoothly.
Another figure appeared opposite the child. This person was much taller and held a sharp blade in his hand as if in demonstration.
He threatened the child to hand over all valuables he had on him.
The child was so frightened that he could not hear clearly what the other party was saying. At this time, the thought that came to his mind was that he would either be killed by the other party or starve to death soon.
This is Spider End Alley, and no one cares about a kid like him.
The miserable life experience is not worth mentioning here at all.
Hidden, Karan silently watched himself as a child. Now he no longer has to risk his life for a bite of bread.There was no nostalgia in his eyes, only disgust and disgust.
He had always hated Spider End Alley deeply and wanted to escape from it all the time.
He even looked down on Snape at the beginning, because Snape didn't realize the dangers of Spider-End Alley at all. He at least still had a complete family.
But none of these emotions compare to the fear of another person - Mr. Anthony.
It was precisely because of Anthony's unseemly will that Karan had to stay here for a while longer.
And all this is because of love.
Because of that damn, sad, but precious love.
Karan quietly tightened his grip on the elder wand. He already understood why he was back here.
It is impossible for such a young child to perform a precise floating technique. Even a young wizard's magical riot would find it difficult to achieve this.
The child needs Karan's help.
This is not difficult for Karan now, even though he still suffers from the trouble caused by the crown, but it is just a simple floating technique. If it were not for insurance, he would not even need to take out the wand.
This isn't some advanced spell.
Everything is very simple.
Karan only needs to use magic to seize the sharp blade from the opponent's hand, and then give it a gentle push...
The child will survive successfully, and Karan will reappear in the world.
All that was lost was the life of a dirty, unbearable Muggle.
No one cares about this muggle.
Just like no one cared about Karan when he was a child.
The tall figure whispered threatening words as he pressed closer to the child.
The child helplessly hugged the bread in his arms, his eyes full of fear.
He suddenly realized that he was very likely to die here.
I hope death... doesn't hurt so much.
In the distance, Karan silently raised the wand in his hand. A faint light gradually gathered on the tip of the wand, and the carefully designed spell was about to hit the Muggle's sharp blade——
But at this moment, a familiar yet unfamiliar smell suddenly filled the air around Karan, and even floated near the two people who were confronting each other.
Karan frowned and looked into his pocket - the jumping cauldron on the Gubrai Immortal Fire suddenly jumped out and landed in front of Karan.
The potion inside has finally been brewed and turned into a light pink color, making people feel happy just by looking at it.
Then in the next blink of an eye, the mysterious magic potion inexplicably condensed together, forming a ball without a drop left, and finally turned into a weird animal shape.
It looks a bit like the Thestral, but much cuter.
At the same time, the smell coming from the animals made Karan feel more familiar. He finally remembered one thing - when the three of them experimented on the jumping cauldron, in addition to the Thestral Guardian God and the Time Turner, outside--
Steve still held half a bowl of strawberries in his hand.
It was also Karan's favorite flavor, and even became the flavor of his Polyjuice Potion.
The cute little animal saw Karan at a glance. It flew around Karan affectionately and kissed him on the face.
"what's your name?"
Karan opened his palms to let the strange-looking animal fall into his palms.
The animal's mouth opened and a series of indistinct syllables came out, and Karan repeated bit by bit: "Horn..."
"Horned Snork?"
The name of the newly born Qi Qi was read out for the first time, and it turned somersaults in the air with joy.
Then, the Curved-Horned Snorlax escaped from Karan's hand. The person in front of him didn't need his help, but another identical soul not far away was in danger.
In Karan's closely following eyes, the Curved-Horned Snorlax penetrated the child's head, and strange changes occurred little by little.
But these changes are so many that they even solve a problem that has always plagued the wizarding world - turning a Muggle with blood into a real wizard.
Not only these, the miraculous changes also transcend the barriers in the world, giving children a lot of unprecedented memories and knowledge in their minds.For the first time, a child truly realizes how magical the world in which he lives is - magic.
In this world, there is magic that children yearn for.
If he had magic, he would never have to struggle for a bite of bread again.
What he has could be more.
For example, extricate yourself from a critical situation at hand.
So, before the child fell into coma due to the impact, he took one last look at the sharp blade in the opponent's hand.
The sharp blade suddenly floated out from the opponent's hand, and was even piercing toward the opponent's heart.
But the child's magic power was too small. This only caused a hole in the tall figure's clothes and shocked the other party severely.
The child fell into a coma and fell to the ground without witnessing the scene.
But someone saw it.
Not just Karan in the distance, but another person who happened to be in the alley.
That's Mr. Anthony.
There are still familiar faces and old-school attire.
Even on a rainy day, Mr. Anthony was dressed as if he were going to some outdated dance, and Cocallan had never seen his partner.
Mr. Anthony heard the movement not far away, and he moved his eyes over.
The tall figure finally came to his senses at this time, and his panic turned into extremely angry. He angrily told Mr. Anthony to leave and stop meddling in other people's business.
But Mr. Anthony not only did not leave, he even walked towards the child's backward position.
The tall figure felt that he had been offended. He had lost his mind. He roared and picked up the sharp knife in his hand and rushed towards Mr. Anthony.
Karan never knew that Mr. Anthony was so skillful - he waved his cane lightly, picked up the sharp blade in the opponent's hand, and then used a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw to make the opponent hit the ground hard.
At the same time, the sharp blade in the air fell down again and was firmly caught by Mr. Anthony.
Mr. Anthony looked down at the other party, and said with disgust and disgust:
"What a despicable act."
Then, the sharp blade was stabbed into the opponent's heart, exactly where it had pierced the clothes before.
The fear in the figure's eyes dissipated little by little, and the figure died like this.
It was not Karan who killed him, but Mr. Anthony.
Callan has never committed any murder, and Dumbledore of the descendants was right - he has always had a pure soul.
Mr. Anthony wiped the blood on his palms with a handkerchief, folded the handkerchief again, and placed it carefully in his breast pocket.
Then he held his cane and walked towards the child's position. He carefully checked the temperature of the child's forehead with his clean palms, as if to determine whether he had a fever.
Many years later, Mr. Anthony did many similar things - the facilities and personnel in the orphanage were not complete, and he often had to serve as a doctor, a teacher, and even a psychological counselor to help every child become cheerful again.
At that time, Karan always dismissed these things. In his opinion, staying in Anthony Courtyard was a waste of time.
And every time, Mr. Anthony would just smile and say: "Then just do it."
But Karan never left voluntarily once.
Even inexplicably, he later became Mr. Anthony's assistant, and then became even more inexplicably the second most popular person in the entire Anthony Academy.
As for number one, it will always be Mr. Anthony.
Karan looked at Mr. Anthony's figure from a distance.
Perhaps for the first time, he made a choice regardless of the consequences.
Karan suddenly stood up from his hiding position and said loudly: "The child is not injured."
Mr. Anthony immediately turned his head. He stared at Karan who was walking in the distance. He glanced at the child in front of him again and again, and then gently rubbed his eyes a few times.
"If it weren't for me getting old, then a miracle would have happened."
Mr. Anthony looked at Callan and said, "I'd rather you tell me you're just this kid's brother."
Karan was silent for a while.
"I wish he had a brother, but he has none, sir."
Mr. Anthony sighed. He was also silent for a while, and then said as if talking to himself: "Maybe I should consider adopting him. Spider End Alley is really not a suitable place for children to live, especially in these situations. It’s tough for kids.”
Then he gently picked up the child, regardless of the mud on the other party's raincoat.
"It seems the miracle is not over yet."
Mr. Anthony turned to look at Karan and once again showed a smile that seemed very familiar to Karan: "It is not an easy task to run an orphanage. I may need an assistant."
"You will have it, sir." Karan replied softly: "You will see the difference in this child, and he will become a perfect assistant. But this child is too careful and full of vigilance. , it’s not easy to make him obedient.”
"So, do you have any suggestions?" Mr. Anthony asked with a smile, as if he was expecting Karan to give an answer.
"Yes I have....."
Karan murmured, moving his eyes from the unconscious child to Mr. Anthony, and finally showed the same smile.
"It's love, sir..."
"It's love..."
everything is over.
When Callan opened his eyes again, he found that he had returned to Hufflepuff's dormitory. Steve and Gaspard were standing behind him, and the quiet jumping cauldron was located beside them. before.
The three of them were silent for a while, neither cheering nor shouting excitedly.
After a while, Gaspard suddenly covered his chest, his tone full of distress.
"My... time-turner."
Steve followed Guspard's example, covering his chest and saying, "My strawberry!"
"boom!"
"Ouch!"
Gaspard retracted his palm with an expressionless expression, and walked non-stop to the jumping cauldron, as if looking for whether the time turner had fallen inside.
"How is this going?"
After checking it carefully, Gaspard suddenly pointed to a location and asked: "How come the time turner is integrated with the jumping pot? And why does the jumping pot suddenly stop moving? It's really bad... ...We really shouldn't have done this experiment... Could it be that the jumping cauldron was damaged? Karan, try the Patronus Charm quickly and see if your Patronus is still there? "
In the direction that Gaspard pointed, a clock was integrated into the surface of the jumping cauldron, which was Gaspard's time turner.
Karan watched the two of them quietly, and he finally realized that Gaspard and Steve didn't remember anything.
This time, they traveled not only through time, but also into another real world.
The two did not have the protection of the Bent-Horned Snork, so they lost their memories of the other world. They only remembered that the experiment with the Hopping Cauldron and the Patronus Charm failed.
Perhaps this is why the God of Death chose Karan.
Because of Snorlax, and because of his ability to retain memories.
As for the jumping cauldron that no longer moves...
The Horned Snorlax is its last mission, and Cadmus will remain in that world forever. There is no taboo in the Jumping Cauldron. It has lost its magical ability and turned into an ordinary crucible. Just plus an inexplicable time converter...
"Karan, Karan?!"
Steve's scream interrupted Karan's thoughts: "Are you okay, Karan?! Oh no, Gespard, forget about the Patronus, Karan has become a fool!"
"I am fine."
Karan finally replied with a smile. Both Steve and Gaspard were looking at him in surprise. Logically speaking, Karan should have given Steve a headache at this time.
Steve murmured in horror: "It's over. Karan has really become stupid. He can't bully others anymore..."
Gaspard also wondered: "Do you still remember the spell hidden in the Marauder's Map? Tell me what it is?"
Karan glared hard at the two of them, especially Gespard, who had ulterior motives.
But there was one thing he really needed to confirm.
The ash wand appeared in his hand, and Karan muttered in a low voice: "Calling the Gods to protect you."
White mist emerged from the tip of the staff, and the blurry Thestral jumped out, but disappeared within a few seconds.
The Thestral Guardian is still there, but unfortunately, the influence of the crown has not disappeared either.
"Unbelievable." Gaspard looked at Karan's weak magic reaction. He seemed to have encountered something unacceptable. He only felt that the gold medal of the Alchemy Conference was getting further and further away from him...
"OK OK."
Karan put away his wand indifferently: "It's just that I'm hungry."
He expertly put on his invisibility cloak and said to the two stunned people: "I'm going to sneak into the kitchen. Is there anything you want?"
"How about strawberries?"
"I like eating strawberries the most."
