Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 96 Visitors

The joy of new life filled the ward. Lisa's brother and sister seemed to see a ghost when they saw Locke, who was a little weak in a wheelchair:

Locke said unhappily: "I'm not a ghost, Hermes."

Hermes shouted in great surprise: "Of course I know you are not - hell, how did you do it?"

Locke: "It's all down to Professor Dumbledore and Winters -"

Hermes turned his head to look at Winters very quickly. His deep purple eyes stared at Winters for a while and then said: "Of course, of course it is - yes, he looks like your father from the back, but his eyes are more like you." Mother, oh by the way, your hair is the same as your mother’s, shiny black.”

Emily immediately shouted: "Brother, that's enough, you scared him."

Hermes stuttered: "Sorry, I'm a little too excited, but Winters is no longer avoiding us like he did last year - kid, am I right?"

Winters said awkwardly: "I...oh...yes...and I'm not hiding from you either."

Upon seeing this, Les immediately said: "There is no need to reveal what happened a year ago. Now we are all reunited safely. Is there anything more important than this?"

Locke looked at the people around him happily: "Lisa went to get the discharge certificate. I can't wait to go home - I think Malan and the others also hope to get together this Christmas."

Ryers looked at the Winters family and said sincerely: "I think you want to go home very much now, but I personally still hope that you can leave at least noon on January 1st, because I really can't think of anything else." How should I thank you?”

Crane: "I think so too, first my sister, and then my dad - we owe you -"

Winters immediately interrupted Crane: "There is no so-called debt, I just did what I could. Without Professor Dumbledore, I would not have been able to do it."

Professor Dumbledore, who was sitting aside, laughed: "I thought about the past a lot, and I found that whether it was treating Irina's disease or restoring Locke to health, you were always contributing? Humility is a virtue, but it's too much. To be modest is to feel inferior.”

Winters was speechless for a moment. Professor Dumbledore didn't say anything. He turned around and said as if talking to himself:

"I think my old buddy Quill Landens also wants to know about Locke very much. I hope he can take a break from his busy official duties this Christmas."

Morlans said tiredly: "I have called him to inform him. I said, Albus, you have to try to accept new things."

Professor Dumbledore smiled faintly: "Perhaps this is the worst side of the elderly, stubbornness and poor learning ability."

Morlans sat on the armchair and closed his eyes to relax and said: "I am 3 years younger than you, and our learning abilities are not that different."

While they were chatting, Lisa and Dr. Mathas came back. When they met, Dr. Mathas simply said:

"Based on Rock Krall's physical examination report and the joint consultation of multiple doctors, we believe that Rock Krall has met the requirements for discharge - Congratulations, Mr. Krall, you have recovered."

There was a burst of cheers in the ward, and Locke stood up from the wheelchair excitedly, but soon he sat down unsteadily.

Dr. Mathas was not surprised: "The long-term high fever has caused damage to the balance function, and I think the potion made with Phoenix Tears is enough to restore it.

And I hope you can take good care of your personal health. Recovery after recovering from a serious illness is very important.

Be sure to pay attention and try not to catch a cold. Your immune system has just fought hard and is weak."

Locke reluctantly put on the mask and muttered something.

As a result, Lisa heard:

“If you don’t want your daughter’s birthday to be celebrated in the hospital, then wear a mask.”

Locke heard Lisa say this and put on the mask without hesitation.

Laughter immediately filled the ward. They got on a bus and headed to the train station. Then, under the guidance of several soldiers, they arrived at an unmarked carriage. Judging from the layout of the carriage, it should be a dining car.

The soldiers saluted Locke, Dumbledore, and Morlans respectively and left.After a few minutes, with a shiver and a gentle roar, the train started to move.

"It's 10 o'clock in the morning now. It should be 8 o'clock in the evening when I get home," Lydia said, looking at her watch.

Elena leaned on her seat and closed her eyes and said: "My birthday is January 1st. If I guess correctly, Winters definitely wants to go home."

Winters coughed: "Anyway...anyway...it's up to the guest to do whatever he wants."

Elena said angrily: "Last Christmas, you kept hiding from us during the few days you stayed at our house. Are you going to hide from us again this time?"

Winters avoided Elena's gaze and whispered something unfamiliar, but Elena guessed it:

"You should really study with your two sisters, Harry, and Hermione. They didn't hide from us like you - are we that scary?"

Winters defended himself with lack of confidence: "I have never seen such a magnificent house since I can remember. If something is broken, I can't afford to pay for it."

Elena laughed and said nothing more, while Les next to her yawned and said:

"If items are broken, you can use magic to restore them. If your mind is broken, you can't use magic to put it back together."

Winters thought for a moment and said: "I think as a person who has been wandering on the edge of life and death for eight years, her soul should be extremely tough."

Elena smiled angrily and looked at Winters: "You are quite good at comforting people."

Lidya first looked at the scenery outside the window, then turned to look at Elena, and said in a recalling tone: "During the summer vacation, I was thinking about when I could play with you, but I didn't expect that we would meet again at Christmas this year. "

Elena: "I remember we often talked until 0 o'clock in the evening, but we never talked enough."

Winters asked curiously: "Well... what are you talking about again? Mathematics?"

Matt said somewhat mysteriously: "Don't worry about it. My sister only told me it was a girls' issue."

Winters immediately said, "Oh...sorry, my bad."

Aurora said calmly: "Maybe you will know in ten years or so."

Dumbledore and Morlans were sitting at another table, reminiscing about the past, while Mr. and Mrs. Eisen and Mr. Clara were discussing the education of their children.

Mary was very surprised after listening to Lisa's account: "You didn't hire a tutor - I mean... there are 7 children, can you take care of them?"

Lisa said a little tiredly: "My children should be taught by me personally. I don't believe in the so-called education experts at all. Many people think that money can solve everything, but at least this is not the case when it comes to education."

Locke choked up and said: "The most tiring time for her was when Elena went to Hogwarts. She slept in a rental house in Hogsmeade Village every day and was in fear - I still don't understand why you Don’t go to Hogwarts to be a teacher so you can watch Elena.”

Lisa: "My expertise is in new potion design and cutting-edge exploration of Defense Against the Dark Arts, not teaching, and I've never received any training on how to be a teacher. If I did that, I would be ruined. A large group of people”

Locke said with some fear: "Fortunately, Elena's friends are paying close attention to her——"

Lisa immediately said: "Okay Locke, those bad things are over, don't mention it anymore - don't you look at the scenery outside the window?"

Winters asked Elena in a low voice: "Frontier exploration of Defense Against the Dark Arts? What is that?"

Elena said with some pride: "Only those who know black magic well and can innovate black magic can conduct cutting-edge exploration of defense against black magic."

Winters' mouth opened in surprise.

Crane explained: "The teaching materials used by Aurors were compiled by my mother and her colleagues. Those teaching materials contained a lot of black magic that did not appear at the time. But in the following years, The dark magic that is only described in textbooks has all appeared, and of course the Aurors are also prepared."

"The equivalent of a weapons developer — can I say that?" Winters said, using an analogy.

Lydia added: "It's not just weapons developers. If you want to make an analogy, Mrs. Krall not only needs to make an accurate prediction of the future strategic development direction, but also needs to make a design that can achieve the goal after making the prediction. Armaments for Strategic Objectives”

Les nodded and said, "Pretty accurate, that's all."

Aurora said in a respectful tone: "This is much harder than mathematical modeling."

Elena waved her hand: "She can predict the future direction of black magic with the help of many mathematical experts. It is impossible for her alone."

Matt said boredly: "I was wondering why don't you look at the scenery outside the window? It's useless to discuss this."

Lisa smiled and said: "It seems that the children have found their goal - exploring the frontiers of Defense Against the Dark Arts is not that easy. It is not enough to have magic knowledge alone. You also need to learn statistics and probability theory. You still have a long way to go after you graduate from Hogwarts."

Kane suddenly had an idea: "Mrs. Eisen, I remember you were a senior data analyst - I think... um..."

Mary said with some embarrassment: "Kane, you don't believe in your mother's math skills."

Rice: "Mathematics still needs to be taught by professionals - her specialty is magic"

Lisa looked at Mary: "I think they are right. When I was learning those maths knowledge, I stayed until early in the morning every day, and my head was so big."

Mrs. Eisen said in a professional tone: "Mathematics is a subject that makes people toss and turn between the pain of failure and the joy of victory. If you really want to learn it, you must be mentally prepared."

Kane immediately said: "I'm not scared at all. Anyway, I'm already tortured enough by mathematics."

Riles and Crane both nodded. They said they had never studied such a difficult subject, and their girlfriends smiled and said:

"Because you didn't pay attention in class, Freni and I have never seen you two concentrate for more than 20 minutes."

Locke looked at his son seriously: "Is what Hannah said true?"

Riels and Crane immediately stopped talking.

Lisa said seriously: "You two, you have to make up for your classes seriously this holiday."

Mary immediately said: "I don't think this is a big problem. The reason why the two of them didn't listen to the class should be that they lost the fighting spirit after finding that they couldn't understand. I can help with this little favor."

Locke didn't react for a moment: "Really--I mean that's great--really great."

As the train moved on, noon arrived and lunch was delivered.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, they took the Auror Command car to the entrance of Krall's mansion and found that someone was already waiting for them.

"Boros Delk," Mr. Kral said in a very stiff tone.

Winters looked at the wizard in front of them and felt a little familiar, but after a moment he understood that this was Ryan Delk's father.Like Ryan Delk, he has light blond hair and cold, piercing blue eyes.

"It seems that you do not welcome my arrival, Mr. Kral," said Mr. Delk in a tone full of hatred and disappointment.

"I only welcome those who I think are worthy of association, Mr. Delk - and I think you do the same." Mr. Krall's tone was very stiff.

"I'm here to wish you a better life, Locke Krall. I heard you narrowly escaped death in the hospital. That was a big surprise to me." Then he paused and glanced around at the wheelchair. Locke, continued:

"It seems that the situation is not completely turned around. Your luck is always surprisingly good - including your family."

Locke laughed dryly, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you for visiting, but we all have our own work to do."

Delk looked at the Krall family coldly, and then said viciously: "One day you will have a complete rest."

Lisa pursed her lips, held her wand tightly, and stared at Delk coldly.

Delk laughed dryly and left in the car.

The Eisens and Lydia were all so frightened by the confrontation just now that they dared not speak out.After Delk's car left, the Eisens asked in confusion:

"Who is this guy"

Locke said angrily, "Boros Delk, during the first civil war, he publicly praised the mysterious man, and may have provided a lot of support to the mysterious man through various channels - he is a complete lunatic who believes in the supremacy of wizards."

Lisa said in an extremely cold tone: "After the mysterious man was defeated, his family plummeted. I once found him and hoped that he would not pay the media to attack my family, but the answer this person gave me was Don’t even think about it”

Winters looked at Delk's car driving away, and perhaps understood why Elena was so disgusted with Ryan Delk.
