Soaring at Hogwarts

In 1992, Egyptian President Mohamed Hosni Mubarak had been in office for more than ten years. In fact, he would continue to sit in this position for nearly 20 years.

More than a decade ago, former President Sadat opened a large number of mosques and released Muslim Brotherhood leaders from prison, using them and other religious political groups to fight against some of the pro-Soviet elements emerging in Egypt.

In 79, Sadat signed the "Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty", ending the 30-year war between Egypt and Israel.

In October 81, he was assassinated during a military parade. The murderer was a religious extremist.After that, Mubarak succeeded as president and cracked down on extremists.

In the evening, near the Nile River, in a tavern with a view of the river, the Heseltines were sitting on the bar.

"Cloris and I came here many years ago," Haydn said, placing a small glass of wine in front of him, but did not drink it. "It was much more lively then."

"There will be a little more people in the evening, but it won't be so lively. Those children have grown up." There are not many people in the pub, and the owner happens to speak English, so he chats with them. "All the children who don't want to grow up go there." to Iraq, and some stayed there forever.”

Sunni Iraq and Shiite Iran fought an eight-year Iran-Iraq war that ended just four years ago.

"Are many people going to the war?" As a sociologist, Cloris was somewhat interested in these.

"It's not much. After all, the environment is much better now. Who wouldn't want to live a good life?"

"What will the young man do?"

"Those from better families can study, such as my nephew," the tavern owner said with some pride. "Ata is a graduate of Cairo University's Department of Architecture and is going to Germany this year for further study."

"That's awesome," Cloris praised, then turned to the children and said in a threatening tone, "You two should also study hard. Do you know, if I find out that you can't get into college..."

"Yes……"

After a while, Bill Weasley arrived belatedly.

Bill, like his brothers and sisters, has red hair, but it is deliberately grown long.There was a unique pendant hanging around his neck that shone brightly, and Ian guessed it was cast with protective magic.

The job of a cursebreaker is fraught with danger.

"Long time no see, Mr. and Mrs. Heseltine," Bill said enthusiastically, "and you, Samantha and Ian, I heard you had a good year."

"This kid works in a bank." Haydn showed off to the tavern owner.

The tavern owner eyed Bill's outfit suspiciously.

Bill took the Heseltines on a tour of the tombs, which he had requested as an insider.There were no tourists at night, no vendors selling pocket speculum, and it had a very eerie atmosphere.

Let Haydn swoon.

"What do you think, I didn't give Harry a skull as a gift?"

Samantha raised her hand and knocked away a skeleton. She was startled by the sudden appearance of the skeleton.

"I can help you find a good-looking one," Bill said enthusiastically.

"Don't go crazy, Samantha." Ian calmly stopped the idea, "There will definitely be souvenirs at the Alchemy Conference."

"There will be," Bill said, "and it's sponsored by Gringotts."

"Ah ha? Those penniless goblins will also sponsor others?"

"In the eyes of those goblins, every alchemist who can attend the conference is a walking treasure chest," Bill explained. "Spending a small amount of money to build a good relationship is a favor without any expense - of course, it is limited to those who can go up and give speeches." wizards, others by the Egyptian Society of Wizards.”

"Can I have two more?" Ian asked, "I'll bring one for Gilani."

A skull grumbled and rolled to Ian's feet.

"Given your age, you should be able to do it," Bill said, flicking the skull away. "By the way, I'm really curious about what Ian will be like when he grows up."

Haydn vowed: "He will be as handsome as me."

He is indeed handsome, a handsome young man.

But Haydn sighed.

"Relax, Ian, you don't look like you're [-] or [-]."

After taking the potion, Ian looked more mature and upright in his handsome appearance.His body is also much bigger, and Haydn's clothes fit him just right.

If it looked a bit like Harry before, it's completely different now.

On the contrary, his hair became the same as Bill's. The long flying hair added a sense of unrulyness. This was the only thing that made him somewhat similar to Haydn.

Ian himself was quite satisfied.

"Not bad, it looks like he's not disabled."

After taking Cloris's hairband and tying his hair, Ian came to the preparation room of the conference.

Someone knocked on the compartment belonging to Ian.

"Please come in."

An old man with a mustache and round glasses walked in.

"You are Ian," he extended his hand in a friendly manner and introduced himself, "I am Jung, here on behalf of Nico."

Ian couldn't help but frown.

"Hello, may I ask, where is Mr. Nico?"

"You know, Egypt is not very friendly to the Jews," Jung said, sitting across from Ian, "and Nico's knowledge is inseparable from the Jews. For this reason, he asked me to witness this of yours. important moment."

However, thanks to the efforts of Presidents Sadat and Mubarak, the relationship between Egypt and Israel has improved.

The skull that Bill bounced flashed before Ian's eyes.

"I'd like to invite Ian from England..."

"It's your turn." Jung stood up, "I will watch you from below."

……

……

……

"I announce that the winner of the Pioneering Contribution Gold Medal at this Cairo International Alchemy Congress is -" the Egyptian wizard in a robe announced on the podium, "Ian Gilani!"

The young wizard walked up to the stage and held up the trophy. His lips were pursed and his face was tense, but it was not because of nervousness.

Putting away the trophy, Ian found Jung.

The two came to a deserted place on the banks of the Nile.

"It seems you have guessed it." Jung said in a solemn tone, "Mr. Nico Flamel has passed away. He entrusted me to deliver his last relics."

Jung handed over a small box.

Ian took it silently. The box was unusually heavy.

"Nico's health has been poor, and he spent a lot of money to stimulate his vitality in the last year." Jung said in a low voice, "He really wanted to see you, but he couldn't hold it anymore."

"This is the last gift he left for you. He originally planned to destroy it, but thinking that it might be able to help you, he finally decided to leave it to you to handle."

Ian guessed what it was.

It's the magic stone.

Holding the magic stone in his hand, a warmth reaches the bottom of his heart.

The notebook was flipping through, but Ian had no intention of looking at it.

"Ji, Nico...is dead?"

"Yes."

"died?"

The Nile flows forward silently.

Ian never thought that the Sorcerer's Stone would be so hot, making his whole body heat up.

The memory gate suddenly opened, and scenes of getting along with Gilani flashed before his eyes, but in the end they were fixed in his previous life.

Ian recalled how he chose to die.

After squeezing it hard, unexpectedly, a crack appeared on the magic stone.

"I don't need it either."

Ian threw it away with all his strength. Under the setting sun, the purple-red stones shattered into pieces in the air, turned into gravel, and submerged into the Nile River.

The river flows quietly, hiding all traces.
