"My wand?"

"Pushed up."

"What about my clothes?"

"Small."

"I...how is your mother?"

"Quite...very good..."

After being brought back to the Ministry of Magic for handover, Rhine looked at Minister Fudge with a speechless expression.

"This program of yours is quite inhumane."

Fudge was also helpless: "You were still in the developmental stage when you were imprisoned, and it was a life sentence."

That means that none of this is my responsibility, so I can just leave quickly and honestly.

Rhine stared at Fudge and suddenly said: "Do you believe I'm rolling on the floor of the Ministry of Magic?"

"Ahem!" Dumbledore's voice sounded from the side, "I suddenly remembered that after you were imprisoned, many things were handled by me, and there is a fund specially prepared for you."

He took out a small cowhide bag from his robe, and it made a beautiful metallic crisp sound.

Rhine glanced at him angrily, obviously dissatisfied with Dumbledore's obstruction of his "touching porcelain", but he still took it casually.

"I will write down some of my opinions on the implementation of the Ministry of Magic, and please pay attention to it, Mr. Minister."

After saying that, he carried the bag and walked outside. As he walked, he looked for a female employee who was passing by and asked about the direct route to Diagon Alley.

Fudge, who was left on the spot by him, turned purple with anger and turned to glare at Dumbledore.

Dumbledore spread his hands: "You have to understand the resentment of a person who has been 'unjustly imprisoned' for five years."

"He is not being unjust!" Fudge refrained from roaring and just gritted his teeth and said, "He was just released after serving his sentence!"

Dumbledore shrugged his shoulders, ignored Fudge who was holding his breath, and followed Rhine's footsteps out.

"What are you looking at? Don't you have to go to work?"

Behind him, there was the sound of Fudge getting angry from the subordinates of the Ministry of Magic.

Dumbledore's footsteps were not fast, but miraculously he caught up with Rhine's footsteps and came behind Rhine who was identifying the path.

"I suggest you take another route..." he pointed to the other person and said, "The news of your release from prison has spread, and there must be reporters outside the Ministry of Magic's gate now."

Rhine looked back at him and instinctively took a few steps back.

This act of finding a safe distance caused a trace of sadness to appear on Dumbledore's face.

"Rhine..." He looked at the other person's young face, "I have indeed made irreparable mistakes, but please don't treat a dying old man like this."

To his surprise, Rhine didn't get angry, but nodded very calmly.

"I know, I just want to stay away from you."

Dumbledore was stunned: "How do you plan to stay away from me?"

"Hmm..." Rhine thought for a moment, "It would be best to be separated by Eurasia or the Atlantic Ocean."

Dumbledore frowned immediately: "Are you planning to leave the country?"

"That's right," Rhine nodded. "As a released prisoner of Azkaban, it makes sense to leave this society that knows me very well, doesn't it?"

Dumbledore looked at him speechlessly and suddenly laughed.

"Do you have money?"

"..." Rhine looked at the small cowhide bag in his hand, "I should still have some from before I was imprisoned..."

"No, you didn't," Dumbledore said. "You were imprisoned just after graduation, and all your property has been confiscated. As far as I know, you do not have a fixed residence or a Gringotts vault."

Rhine also looked at him speechlessly, and the two just stared at each other.

"I can work..." Rhine stiffened his neck stubbornly.

"How about coming to Hogwarts?" Dumbledore said. "As we all know, the salary in school is much better than outside."

"I reject."

Dumbledore: ? ? ?

……

Rhine Lyle is a soul traveler who knows what kind of world he faces——

A world destined to be filled with tragedy.

The closer you get to Dumbledore and Hogwarts, the more devastating the tragedy becomes.

Although he could not recite those storylines, he had "personally" experienced the sadness of the world.

Because the physical body he occupies is such a person.

Compared to those characters that he had heard of or seen online, Rhine Lyle was an existence that he didn't know existed, hidden deep in this world based on "Harry Potter".

Unlike the time-travelers who filled the orphanage, Rhine was a happy little wizard in his past.

He grew up in a mixed-race family and entered Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1979.

At that time, it was in the last two years of the first rise of the world's great villain, the Dark Lord Voldemort, and his initial academic career was uneventful.

But just when he entered second grade, his parents, who responded to Dumbledore's call and fought the Dark Lord to the end, were killed by Death Eaters led by Voldemort.

There are even no bones left.

The young Rhine was full of hatred for this, and pinned his hope of defeating Voldemort and punishing the Death Eaters on Dumbledore.

What he didn't expect was that after Voldemort attacked and "deathed" Harry Potter, the son of the prophecy, most of the Death Eaters did not receive the punishment they deserved.

During the two-year trial, they were either bribed through connections or controlled by sophistry, and easily escaped accountability from the Ministry of Magic.

Little Rhine angrily questioned Dumbledore, but received an incompetent reply.

This hatred spread into resentment against both black and white, and Rhine made a bold decision——

If I cannot ask for justice, I will get it myself!

So, from the moment he graduated from Hogwarts, Rhine began a hunting trip, killing all 27 Death Eaters with clear evidence of guilt.

Because of this, he became a wanted criminal in the Ministry of Magic, and eventually fell into a trap set by the Aurors, was tried and thrown into Azkaban.

In prison, Rhine Lyle's soul could not withstand the oppression of the dementors and gradually became dilapidated. Only then was he occupied by the souls of this other world who died of illness.

When he was released, the resentment and crying that he burst out with a sense of disobedience were the final impact of the remnant soul of his predecessor on him.

Knowing that he had finally been vindicated, his remaining soul, which had no other aspirations, vanished into thin air.

If this soul hadn't appeared now, he would have died in the cold prison of Azkaban long ago. Even Dumbledore, who was running for him, could only give up and let him be lost in history.

In a time when tragic fates abound, he will not even be remembered by anyone.

As a time traveler, New Rhine hopes to use the emotions of his predecessor to leave this magical world that is about to become turbulent again.

Right now, it's early summer of 1991.

The savior Harry Potter is about to celebrate his 11th birthday and enter Hogwarts to start a magical journey.

And Lord Voldemort, who is not really dead, is also dormant in the dark corner, waiting for another opportunity to bring darkness to the magical world...

Rhine didn't want anything else.

He just wanted to escape.
