Parents of Hogwarts

If there's anything worse than traveling back in time to the Harry Potter era, it's undoubtedly the parent generation that preceded it.

Of course, it might be worse going forward, such as the Age of Fantastic Beasts, the Ancestral Generation, or even the Four Giant Generations, or even any era that has not established an international secrecy law.

However, Karan is still not satisfied with the attitude of his parents.

The first Wizarding War had quietly started in 1970, and it was only 71.

According to the date on the Harry Potter wiki, it should be 1969, which is when Snape first met Lily.However, I found that almost nothing important happened in the two years of 1969 and 1970, so I simply moved the time forward. I admit that my writing skills were insufficient and I was unable to express myself more freely, and I was worried that I would not be able to control it.After all, there are still very few records of events from the parent generation, and many of them even happened in the fifth grade. These originals alone were enough to test me.

The Order of the Phoenix was also founded in 70. I don’t know if the two have officially collided.

The location of the Horcrux cannot be determined, Lucius is still in school, and Bellatrix just graduated in 69, and probably has not received any reward yet.Regulus was one year later than Callan, so it seemed that Slytherin's locket was not placed in it.

Nagini is still hanging around somewhere, so there's no need to worry too early about this.

As for the ring with the Resurrection Stone...well, Callan remembered that the ring was still on Tom's finger when he asked Professor Slughorn about the Horcruxes.

So if he is pessimistic enough, the only Horcrux location that Callan can confirm is Ravenclaw's diadem, which was placed in the Room of Requirement in 1956. This was also the time when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts to apply for a job. .

This is a 1:4 contest, this wave is stable.

Well, Voldemort is stable, very stable.

But compared to these future things, Karan pays more attention to the present.

Petunia's matter can be regarded as an unintentional move. Regardless of whether poor little Harry will be born smoothly, Karan is not that concerned.However, Karan is still willing to occasionally do this kind of thing to prevent the relationship between sisters from breaking up. After all, it is not too difficult. It just needs to cut off the exposed buds in time, and the rest is It's up to Lily and Petunia.

But some things don't seem to be changeable so easily.

Especially those that are deeply ingrained.

"So, these three books are all related to dark magic." Karan threw the last book he picked up aside with a dissatisfied look and asked Snape.

"What's wrong with black magic?" Snape said matter-of-factly: "It's powerful and has enough power. You're not like those old stubborns who think black magic is something bad, right?"

Callan didn't respond, just looked Snape up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lily and Petunia on the side both looked confused. Lily was the first to ask them: "So, the black magic you are talking about is..."

"It's something you shouldn't touch." Karan's tone was firmer than ever: "At least for now."

He picked up the three books and pretended to leave. Snape quickly grabbed him and shouted angrily: "What are you going to do? I didn't show it to you."

Karan pushed Snape away with a little force, frowned and explained to the two sisters who stood up due to fright: "In magic, power itself is not absolute, but there is still a basic distinction between good and evil. .Black magic is indeed powerful enough, but it is also evil. In the process of casting black magic, the wizard must condense the corresponding evil thoughts in his heart, maybe it is cold and ruthless cruelty, maybe it is gushing anger, maybe It was... a brutal murder."

"These books don't contain the things you mentioned." After seeing the change in Lily's expression, Snape quickly explained: "There are just some relatively general ideas and some trivial curses in them. Those can only be counted as It was just a little joke, and there was no need for the things he said."

Karan nodded and said: "Yes, although I only briefly looked through it, Snape is indeed right. If it is just these, of course it will not cause too many problems."

"but"

With a bewildering low tone, Karan guided Lily: "Lily, can you imagine the consequences of a growing child using jinxes every day? In other words, when these insignificant Negative emotions, such as anger, have appeared every day since you were 5 years old. If things go on like this, you feel that you can still tell whether the anger comes from the curse itself, or... you have already I have become a person who is used to being angry every day.”

"If five years can't shake your willpower, what about ten, what about 20 years?"

"Time will change everything, but some people," Karan glanced at Snape deliberately: "But they always ignore the power of time, and eventually unknowingly destroy everything about themselves, even themselves, thus completely Become someone else.”

"A person whose heart is full of anger, coldness, ruthlessness... and sadness."

"From now on, all the books you bring must be checked by me in advance before Lily and Petunia can read them. I hope you can also abide by this and at least don't go behind my back to read the books that Snape secretly brought out. "

After instructing this, Karan took the three books to another part of the woods, sat down cross-legged, and read silently.

Lily looked back and forth, then asked Snape, who was still angry at the side: "Is everything Karan... said true?"

Snape glanced at Lily, suppressed the anger in his heart, and tried to calmly reply: "How is it possible? He only exaggerates. Isn't this what he has done before? If it is really like that, how could I possibly I will bring these books to you to read..."

At the end of the sentence, Snape's voice gradually became quieter. Facing Lily and Petunia's suspicious eyes, he quickly changed the subject and said, "And don't you think he took all those books away? If there is really any danger, How could he go and see it himself?”

"That's because..." Karan suddenly came back at some point. Within a few minutes, he threw the three books back and explained at the same time: "I'm trying to learn from these. Look in the book to see if there is anything worth learning. But," Karan said without concealment: "If all you use in the future are black magic of this level, then I still advise you not to use it again. I brought the book over. The so-called theory only contains a few sentences, and the rest is full of pranks. I really don’t see the slightest need to learn."

"Remember, get the white magic book next time."

"I'm not your subordinate, don't give me orders," Snape shouted through gritted teeth.

Karan didn't even look at him. He turned to Lily and said: "I advise you to be sufficiently vigilant about black magic, no matter when it is, no matter which book it is from, it is enough." All vigilance is very necessary.”

"Because most black magic will not make you an evil person all of a sudden, but will slowly eat away at your will, your brain, and your heart. This is not something that happens overnight, but But it’s even more terrifying. Because by the time we discover this, it may already be too late.”

"Black magic will definitely make you become more extreme. Sometimes, the word evil is just a different name."

"Nonsense, Lily, he's all talking nonsense about him." Snape seemed to suddenly think of something. He pointed at Karan and said: "It was he who asked me to bring the magic books yesterday. He asked me to do this. He It was definitely intentional, so that he could have an excuse to teach me a lesson and let me deliberately make a fool of myself in front of you. These were all planned by him."

Karan glanced at Snape pitifully, and said loudly and unabashedly to Lily and Petunia: "You see, he is already in the first stage of the invasion of black magic and has begun to talk nonsense. And next He will be in the second stage soon," Karan leaned close to Lily and said, "He's going to start beating himself up."

"Pfft." Lily couldn't help laughing out loud, but she immediately covered her mouth, but Petunia was not so kind. She laughed loudly and looked at Snape as if Watch a funny clown.

Snape was deeply stung by this look, and the intimate behavior between Karan and Lily made his heart filled with anger. His eyes became more fierce, and he stared at Karan. .

Suddenly, the branches above the heads of the three people broke together. Penny looked up and couldn't help shouting. Even Lily backed away in fear.

But Callan still stood there, looking at Snape playfully. As for the branches above his head that should have fallen, they slowly floated between the two of them one by one, and finally piled up into a small tree pile.

"Hey, that's quite a lot."

Callan exclaimed in feigned surprise. He turned back to reassure Lily and Petunia, and then walked up to Snape.

But Snape was already overwhelmed by Lily's frightened eyes, and his heart was filled with regret and grief.

"It's all you." The anger in Snape's eyes did not diminish at all. He stared at Karan fiercely: "You did this on purpose."

Karan shook his head slowly, and he gently put his palm on Snape's shoulder: "How can it be all me? I just said a few words, the person who wants to hurt Lily... But you, Snape."

"Look, look at this pile of branches, don't you understand? Even if there is no me, Karan, there will be Delan, Tanglan, there will always be such a person. Do you still want to do it just because of these people? , and hurt Lily again?"

"The only person who can decide how to do it is you, and the control of things has always been in your hands. Admit it, Snape, you are already angry enough, and black magic will not make you calm down again. , it will only intensify your anger.”

Karan suddenly stretched out his hand to tighten Snape's collar, causing the two people behind him to scream softly: "Remember my words, black magic will make you more extreme, and extreme and evil are sometimes just It’s just a different name.”

"Even this evil is not only what outsiders think is evil, but you yourself will feel that you are so unbearable, and let the pain and regret accompany you throughout your life, until death can save you from it."

Snape was completely stunned.

"No." Karan suddenly added thoughtfully: "Maybe even death itself is impossible."

"Mark my words, Snape."

Karan repeated one last sentence, and he said to the two people behind him: "It seems that today's party can only end here. As for Snape, I believe he has learned enough lessons and let these branches stay Here, let’s take this as a warning.”

Lily and Petunia hesitated for a while, but Lily finally spoke softly. She glanced at Snape one last time, seemingly still surprised by his actions, and then grabbed her sister's hand and ran away. .

"It seems that this is it."

A gentle smile appeared on Karan's face again, and he helped Snape adjust his collar with a little regret: "Fortunately, the two ladies are willing to give you another chance, otherwise even I might not be able to help you. . I believe that if there are two gifts that are thoughtful enough, today’s embarrassment can be alleviated. Maybe they don’t need to be too precious, as long as they are thoughtful.”

"Lily... wouldn't be willing to accept two gifts." Under Lily's strange eyes, Snape seemed to have lost all his strength as he whispered.

"It's Lily and Petunia." Karan looked at Snape angrily: "Give up your prejudice against Muggles. If Muggles are really as bad as your father, do you think the secrecy law will still be like this?" Not all Muggles are so bad, at least the Mr. Anthony I met is pretty good."

"What did he do?" Snape asked in a low voice.

"He adopted me and didn't let me starve to death. That's enough." Karan said nonchalantly: "Of course, he also gave us orphans enough respect so that we could live without losing our dignity. Listen to this It might sound a little more substantial.”

"You're just not lucky enough to have a father like that, but the fault is only his. It would be too stupid to spread this prejudice to all other Muggles. Do you know how many Muggles there are like us? Thousands of times, maybe tens of thousands of times before long."

"Luck" Snape didn't seem to notice Karan's words behind him, and just focused on the things in front of him.

Karan raised his eyebrows: "Yes, it's just luck."

"Okay, let's see you at the appointed time next time."

Just as Karan turned and walked away, Snape suddenly asked: "Why...would you dare to read those books?"

"Oh"

Karan turned around and stopped. He laughed softly and looked at the branches over there: "Isn't this an obvious thing?"

"I'm better than you."
