Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

In his sleep, Stephen came to the lawn of a castle.

In the distance, an old man with white hair, white robes, and white shoes was sitting on a bench watching a child playing alone in front of him. The old man seemed to notice Stephen's gaze, turned back to look at him, and showed a smile.

"Young man, you are finally here." The old man waved to Stephen and motioned for him to come over.

Stephen felt as if the person speaking was right next to him, "Maybe it's the amplification spell." He stepped forward and asked tentatively: "Grandpa, why do you seem to know that I will come?"

"You will always come here, it's just a matter of time. Coming here will help you solve some small problems, but you will only know what problems you solved when you go back."

It's so mysterious again, there is no difference at all whether it is said or not.

"Young man, that kid is Stephen." The old man smiled and didn't care about Stephen's little thoughts. "You have an adventurous path to take, and so does he."

"But he's not emmmm, is he dead?" Stephen had nothing to say. His identity as a Xibei guy was exposed twice a day, which made him wonder whether he was still a qualified time traveler.

"Strictly speaking, he is indeed dead, but it can also be said that he is not dead, at least not dead at the soul level. Death is just the beginning of another journey, which you will understand in the future. The fate of the two worlds is intertwined. Things always change when we’re together.”

The old man paused and continued: "But these changes are just a trivial matter to the trajectory of time. The rules of time will always keep the general direction consistent, but"

"but what"

"But consistency doesn't mean there are no changes." The old man blinked, as if he was very happy that he had succeeded in selling his secret.

"His brother is a wise and very brave wizard. And you will become a great wizard." The old man looked at the child who was still playing gently, "Okay, I think it's almost time, you need to go back and take care of yourself." Li Yili what happened."

"But how can I go back?" Stephen was dumbfounded.

"Wouldn't it be nice to wake up?" The old man smiled and waved his hand, "Young man, your adventure will be full of legend. If nothing else, we will meet again in the future."

In the early morning, Tony's family sat around the dining table and had today's breakfast. Stephen thought about last night's dream, "After I came back from there, I felt that the original sense of isolation in my body seemed to have disappeared. This is what the old man said was a small problem."

Mr. and Mrs. Tony maintained their usual tradition of discussing something heatedly.

Robert is a lawyer. Although he looks capable, inside he lives a humorous, gossipy and curious child.

Mrs. Tony, also known as Ms. Mira, is a doctor. She is always careless, but her medical skills are very good. At least in Stephen's memory, he has never asked for leave from school because of illness. I don't know if it is a good thing or not. bad thing.

As for their home address, just write 122 Shell Street.

I don’t know what makes their clients and patients feel so at ease with them, and I don’t know how they got together, and I don’t even know why they always have so many topics to talk about.

Christmas has passed like this. Although there were some minor accidents, it was still very good overall.

But after that day, Jacob never came back or sent a letter home. Tony and his wife never mentioned him again, as if they didn't have this son.

As for Stephen, he is just a kid, so he just thinks he is his brother and his girlfriend on their honeymoon.

Fast forward nearly a year to July 1981. A lot of things had happened in the past nearly a year, such as the Death Eaters making trouble, the Aurors' continuous retreat, and so on.

Stephen had a magical riot after the physical alienation disappeared for a period of time. He bought many books through Robert and learned some magic theories from Jacob's notes.

But none of that mattered to Tony's family.

Robert subscribed to the Daily Prophet when Jacob was in school so that he could understand the trends in the magical world. The most recent issues were about Jacob, and the newspapers published what he did as a Death Eater, such as attacking Auror families, attacking Muggles, and breaking into the so-called "cursed vault."

According to what was written in the newspaper, he was simply a terrorist who did all kinds of evil. The most important thing was that the newspaper also placed a sentence in a big circle: "Escaped from the Auror siege and is still on the run."

"I really didn't expect that Jacob would do these terrible things without telling us." Robert put down the newspaper in his hand and sighed, "I really wish we didn't have this child in the first place. Tony, I'm going out to pick up your mother later. Come back, stay home and don’t run around.”

"Dad, I'm eleven years old, and I'm not an ignorant child."

"You have always been an ignorant child in our eyes." Robert made a face at his son, "But why hasn't the notice arrived yet? Haven't you already gone through the magic riot?"

"Maybe the mysterious man's incident has caused a lot of confusion in the wizarding world, and Hogwarts may have been affected as well." Stephen thought to himself, "How can I have the time and energy to send me a notice?"

And on the other side.

"Minerva, the notice hasn't been sent out yet." Dumbledore sat on the chair and looked at Professor McGonagall standing opposite.

"Albus, have you forgotten that the school sent out owls early this morning to deliver notices? So many notices have been piled up until today. If we don't hurry up, we may not even be able to deliver them all."

"Oh, of course I didn't forget it. I just made sure." Dumbledore didn't blink, as if he wasn't the one who just asked the question. "There is another notice that needs to be sent. Please take a look."

McGonagall picked up the notice and glanced at it, "Stephen Tony, isn't he Jacob's brother? Albus, are you sure you want to let such a person's brother enter Hogwarts to study?"

"Jacob's matter is very complicated, but no matter what, we can't let his family lose the opportunity to study at Hogwarts because of a few things, right? And Stephen's name has already been written in the book of admission. I I think Hogwarts also recognizes him."

"Well, Albus, I hope you made the right decision."

In the evening, Robert had already picked up Mira, and they were preparing for today's dinner. An owl flew in and left a letter on the table.

"Stephen, I guess your notice has arrived." Robert picked up the envelope and opened it.

Headmaster: Albus Dumbledore, President of the International Federation of Wizards, First Order of Merlin, Grand Wizard, and Chief Wizard of the Wizengamot
