420 Conversation and Cemetery
After getting Blue Phoenix, Meadows gradually realized the opportunity for her transformation - which coincided with the time when she truly became a late bloomer.
Before that, she could only be regarded as a slightly lonely girl at best.
It wasn't until he awakened to his late-blooming talent in the bathroom that Meadows began to transform into a ruthless personality and suddenly displayed an extreme thirst for power.
Now it seems that this is both talent and misfortune.
Wizards who become late bloomers will be subject to a unique curse from Antioch - emotional sealing.
If not for the mysterious curse she received in an Egyptian tomb and her encounter with the Blue Phoenix, Antioch would most likely have replaced her soul.Resurrection in Meadows.
While talking to Meadows, Callan also learned who the person who had touched the diadem in the first year was Headmaster Dumbledore.
Principal Dumbledore once admitted in front of Meadows that he had made the same mistake (Chapter 319) - which shows that Callan's guess was correct - the reason why the principal used the crown for the third time was precisely because of Meadows changes, and he must have noticed some clues in Meadows - clues related to Antioch.
But this gave Callan another reminder - a reminder of Headmaster Dumbledore's second use of the diadem.
In the world of Seven Hundred Horcruxes, Dumbledore used this opportunity on Ariana, intending to deal with Obscurus, who was getting stronger.
But in today's parent generation, Ariana is protected by the phoenix Percival, which is completely different from what she experienced in another world.
The threat of the Obscurus is still there, but it's no longer as imminent.
In this way, if Principal Dumbledore makes a wish to the diadem again - will the diadem's answer be different?
This time, will the answer it gives just be emotional sealing?
The snap of Meadows' fingers brought Karan out of his thoughts.
"What? Did you really find something?"
Her thoughts still lingered on the possibility that Karan was a late bloomer: "What are you going to do? Is there a way to circumvent the threat of emotional closure?"
However, Karan shook his head and denied without hesitation: "I did have the same worries as you, but I can't be a late bloomer - don't forget, this kind of wizard usually can't perform any magic when he is a child. , but I will be able to use the levitating spell of wandless magic before school starts."
"I can't be a late bloomer, there's no doubt about it."
Similar discussions have already occurred, and Gespard once thought that Karan's superb magical talent and suspected that he was also a late bloomer - but Karan has shown strong magical talent since he was a child, and he did not even have a simple magic talent. No spell can be cast.
The most important thing is that he never caused the anomaly that Meadows caused in the bathroom-the walls that were constantly breaking and restoring, like the flow of time out of control.
This cut off the possibility of Karan awakening his talent on that dark rainy night.
As for the identity of a born closed-brained person - this may be related to the Bent-Horned Snorlax, or it may be due to something going wrong with Antioch's blood magic.
All in all, until now, Callan has shown no signs of being a late bloomer.
"I hope so too..." Meadows said in a faint tone.
Of course she hoped that Karan's guess was right. She had felt the same way and never wanted to see the birth of another late bloomer.
The conversation was back on track.
Mr. Flamel, who was packing up the instruments, seemed to realize that the two had disappeared, but he had already learned from Meadows about the teacher-student relationship between the two, and the relationship was not ordinary.So he didn't go upstairs to urge Karan. After all, the wind chime powder experiment could be done at any time.
In the bedroom, Meadows listened silently to Karan's experience in the Forbidden Forest.
While telling the story, Karan himself had already understood why Sybill Trelawny went crazy in the world of Seven Hundred Horcruxes.
Because her Third Eye is so powerful.
This gives Sybil an unimaginable talent for divination, even enough to cross the barriers of the world, but it also brings a huge burden to her, making her unable to distinguish between what is a prophecy and what is the real world.
In the end, Sybil in the world of Seven Hundred Horcruxes went crazy, and only Sybil in this world was alive and well.
This just explains why Sybil, who was obviously just a half-hearted prophet, later made so many truly terrifying prophecies - not just because of Cassandra's prophet bloodline, but maybe also because the seal of the Third Eye occasionally become loose.
If we continue to dig deeper, the specific time when the seal is loosened may be related to the changes in the trajectory of the stars, because this happens to be one of the divination methods that the centaurs are good at.
Cassandra the Prophet came to Hogwarts to teach precisely to save her great-great-granddaughter - by sealing Sybil's third eye.
She also said at the banquet before the holiday that she had to return home early to recuperate due to physical inconvenience.
At that time, Sybil finally turned back into a normal wizard.
When she heard about the centaurs tribe, the expression on Meadows' face became a little disdainful - this had nothing to do with the emotional sealing technique, but that she didn't like centaurs from the beginning, let alone their stubbornness. aloof attitude.
According to her, once Voldemort wins the final war, how can there be room for centaurs in the Forbidden Forest? Sooner or later, they will be driven away, or they will simply be exterminated.
Little by little, Karan came to the content of Sybil's last divination.
【Fly! 】
【Work hard to fly! 】
【I’ll try my best to fly! 】
"Is this the solution to your nightmare?" Meadows said casually: "If it's just about flying... it's not that simple. Wouldn't it be nice to carry a broomstick with you from now on?"
"James said so at the beginning." Karan muttered, sounding a little impatient: "But how could it be so simple? I believe in Sybil's prophecy ability, who knows what she saw in the fog. "
"And if this divination is effective for me, it might also be effective for you."
[The premise is that this prophecy is based on the threat of Antioch and does not involve the God of Death or other messy guys. 】
While Karan silently added the prerequisites in his heart, Meadows' tone became even more indifferent: "Don't worry about me, I have Antioch - bah, this name is so unlucky, I really deserve it. Think of a new name."
"Anyway, when the blue phoenix recovers, it will be able to fly with me everywhere, and it can even help me apparate."
Karan watched silently as the baby bird dozed in her apron pocket.
"Wait for it to recover?" he said softly: "It doesn't look easy."
Meadows has been living with Mr. Flamel for some time, but Blue Phoenix still shows no sign of growing again.
Whenever his eyes fell on Blue Phoenix, Meadows' eyes would become extremely soft: "Yes, I know this very well. This little guy will probably never recover."
Just when the atmosphere gradually turned to loss and guilt, Meadows suddenly changed his tone: "But, I remember you just said that Antioch has the ability to control time?"
Callan did say this, and Meadows realized the difference in the visions caused by the late bloomer's awakening when he first heard it - it was obvious that the power of time was also at work.
Now, Meadows thinks of more.
"Don't you think this little guy also seems to have suffered from time magic?"
"Maybe it's because it helped me bear the cost of Antioch, so the question is simple."
"Find Antioch and this little guy can recover."
After repeated failures, Meadows did not have any expectations for the wind chime powder. She directly targeted Antioch, the culprit that caused everything.
Karan was shocked by Meadows' decisiveness and determination, but when he thought about the power of controlling time, his thoughts inevitably wandered away again, recalling Dumbledore in another mysterious world and Karan Sanz in his mind. special.
These two men appeared in Godric's Hollow, and they came to save Ariana, but they just used the wrong method - they didn't really solve the threat of the Obscurus, they just bound Ariana's age.
This is also the power of time.
I just don’t know if they also have some connection with Antioch.
Meadows moved the pockets in his apron so that Lan Phoenix could sleep more peacefully.
"Speaking of which, how did you finally leave the Forbidden Forest? Didn't the group of centaurs discover you?" Meadows asked.
After much thought, Karan decided not to reveal Ariana's identity.Although Ariana herself didn't value this, both Aberforth and Principal Dumbledore cared about it.
They spent nearly their entire lives keeping Ariana safe.
"By the way, since you think the wind chime powder is useless, then you actually insisted on letting me come here this time? And Antioch, you set your target on him and did not leave early, it was also because of you What clues were found in France?”
Karan asked two questions in a row.
Meadows saw Karan's intention to change the subject deliberately. She curved her lips, knowing in her heart that Karan must be hiding many things from her.
"I don't like hiding secrets as much as you do."
Meadows said in a sarcastic tone: "It was indeed at my request that Mr. Flamel invited you here this time. As for the reason, it is also related to the way I know that I am a descendant of Antioch."
This is something Karan has never been able to figure out - Meadows hasn't graduated for long, so how on earth did she know that she was a descendant of Antioch?
The arch curtains of the Department of Mysteries have long been excluded by Karan. Judging from Meadows' past reckless character, once she really does this, Karan will probably never meet her again at Hogwarts. , but the distant Azkaban.
"No matter what, the experiment on wind chime powder still needs to be done."
Meadows stood up, and she grabbed Karan's arm and pulled him up with her, leading him out of the bedroom.
"After this, let's have another adventure in France."
"At the very least, I have to see with my own eyes whether you are really one of the descendants of Antioch."
The experiment with wind chime powder went very well. During the process of creating this thing, Karan helped Gespard cast almost all the magic spells he needed.Although Karan's magic level is not as good as before, he still has Meadows to help him.
Finally, Mr. Flamel held up the small bottle containing the blue powder and praised without hesitation: "What a creative idea. I am becoming more and more curious about your friend."
Callan thought that Mr. Flamel had better curb his curiosity. He was not afraid that Gaspard would suddenly become interested in Muggle items, but if an alchemist as knowledgeable as Mr. Flamel was also involved... .
This is really unimaginable, and perhaps the entire Wizarding War will rise several levels.
Then Meadows told the LeMays that he was going to take Karan out. Not only did the LeMays not stop him, they also gave Meadows a large amount of pocket money.
Karan stared at the gold bag in Meadows' hand with strange eyes. Mr. Flamel smiled generously and said: "Are these enough? If not, I have more. By the way, I haven't taken you to visit the Philosopher's Stone yet. Do you want it?" Go check it out and brag about the experience to your friends when you get back to school.”
It seems that Mr. Flamel in every world does not value the Philosopher's Stone as much as outsiders imagine.
Meadows' eyes tightened, and she thought of what Karan had done before, and quickly refused for him: "No, sir!"
But all he got in return was Karan's disdainful gaze. Not many people knew that he also didn't value the Philosopher's Stone.After all, Karan neither lacked gold nor longed for fragile immortality.
"I thought you would blame me."
After leaving the house that had been cast with countless protective magics, Meadows looked at Karan with relief and said, "Is it because you also found your own Blue Phoenix? But why did I only see Wei'er?" ——Will it still peck your fingers now?”
Karan silently showed the back of his hand, where there happened to be a peck mark that had not been completely healed - this was not because Karan and Javel were angry, but because it ate so much in its sleep that Karan was The palms of his hands were also used as nuts.
"I've never seen such a stupid owl."
Karan sulked and said, "If I had known earlier, I should have put it in a cage."
The two of them walked on the street with small flakes of snow falling.As if worried that the child Callan would get lost, Meadows kept holding on to one of his arms.
While the surrounding passers-by marveled at their appearance, they couldn't help but smile kindly at this harmonious scene.
Only Meadows knows why she did what she did.
"These people looking at us are Muggles, right? Are there no Dark wizards?"
"I remember Bellatrix had a grudge against you. Will she find us?"
"Where is Diagon Alley? - No, I made a mistake. But isn't there a place like Diagon Alley in France? Can we go there first? I'm very interested in European wand makers -"
Meadows struggled to pull Karan back towards a statue - she was still wondering, how did Karan know that it was the entrance to Magic Alley?
"Don't make trouble." Meadows leaned down and warned in a low voice: "Don't even think about stealing another wand. Don't you already have two?"
Although he understood that Meadows was referring to the elder wand, Karan immediately played dumb: "I don't understand what you are talking about."
In the past, Meadows would have immediately taught Karan a lesson, but now she just thinks this scene looks funny.
But soon, Karan could no longer play dumb.
He and Meadows stopped in front of an iron fence. Inside were piles of tombstones, which looked extremely gloomy and terrifying under the darkening sky.
“Lachaise…Pere Cemetery…”
Karan read out the name of the place on the sign, and he turned to look at Meadows in surprise: "The adventure you are talking about is to bring me to a pile of dead people?"
"I'm still just a child!"
