Harry Potter: Man at Hogwarts but no wand

Justin, who is far away in Paris, doesn't know how long he has been trapped in a large lavender field. It is obviously winter, but the endless sea of ​​flowers in front of him seems to be in bloom forever.

The sky in the distance was fixed in the summer dusk. The strong blue-purple and vivid sunset yellow made him feel that the beauty was unreal, but the special fragrance of lavender and the touch of the soil under his feet told him that this was really Southern France in August. ——Andy once told him that Nico Flamel had his own "garden".

The river in the distance was like a sparkling belt running through the hillside. The white windmill tower in the distance was cast in a soft light. The slowly rotating windmill blades pushed the waterwheel to run. There was warmth everywhere. He was wearing The robe even felt a little warm, and he couldn't feel thirst or hunger, or even the boredom of time passing by - this was the scary thing, his best friend didn't know what the situation was.

He tried many times to walk towards the windmill, but it seemed that the road would never end.Justin was not good at expressing emotions, but there were beads of sweat on the boy's head. He pursed his lips and continued to find a way out in this purple field. He felt that he needed to get close to the windmill.He knew that this was his teacher's handiwork, and he would never be able to get out of here until he was truly at peace.

He didn't understand why his teacher had kept him away from Andy in recent months, but when he asked cautiously, Nick Flamel deliberately avoided him.

Justin sat on the ground, trying his best to calm down his anxious heart, comforting himself that Lavender's prophecy ability would save the two of them from danger.

The scent of lavender in the air filled his surroundings. This soothing scent gradually made his heart calm. After a long time, he saw the runes hidden in the air through the rows of lavender, so he immediately cheered up. The spirit began to write the alchemist's unique words in the air with magic.

Then there was chanting with closed eyes, which seemed to Justin to be as long as a century.

When he opened his eyes again, his teacher was waiting for him at the windmill not far away.

The young man walked forward quickly, but found that he was still walking slower and slower, and the real hair had not been completely cracked, so he had no choice but to slow down and walk step by step, but quickly arrived in front of the windmill.

"Thank you, teacher." Justin did not complain, but thanked his teacher.

Nico Flamel nodded and said softly: "Patience is important, but it is more important to let go of the anxiety in your heart and face the difficulties at hand. Justin, I know you are worried about Andy Lawrence, but you still need to do something It’s better.”

The brown-haired boy was very honest, and he did not intend to say anything to the teacher who protected him and his family and taught him everything he could: "Yes, teacher."

"I know you care about him, but I can't allow you to take risks with him now." The alchemist's expression remained normal, but Justin was very confused.

"You still have to learn a lot, kid." The boy felt that Nico Flamel said something that was too educational, but he just frowned and did not refute.

The master alchemist didn't care about his apprentice's dissatisfaction, but changed his tone and asked him: "Do you think you have the ability to advance and retreat with him now, or can you firmly say that you will always stand on his side?"

"Of course, teacher." Justin was a little surprised. He looked back at his teacher's eyes, but he was still confused - he felt that his teacher seemed to be hinting at something.

"Justin, people always change. There is no permanent friendship. If one day, you face a choice, can you continue to stand by his side?" Nico Flamel continued to say to him.

"I will never betray Andy." Justin regretted it, and even thought that it was a mistake for him to contact Andy. Maybe he was a stranger to him at the beginning, and everything he has now belongs to him. He is an alchemist apprentice. His name will definitely not be subject to so many difficulties.

"I know you will say this. You don't have to blame your child. You are the first person to show kindness to him, so you can think that his choice is inevitable." The old man saw Justin's thoughts and looked at him. The gurgling river in the distance seemed to be thinking about something: "His choice was unwise, but very humane."

"He is my friend, and I even regard him as a brother. I will not be like Harry."

Nicolas Flamel still looked gentle and said heavy words in a soft tone: "I know that you are as close as brothers. If, even if one day you are really on opposite sides, will you do better than Harry? "

"I will definitely do it. Harry doesn't understand Andy. He just blames Andy for what he did out of necessity. He can't even protect him as a brother. If Harry can't do it, then I'll do it. "Justin always stays by Andy's side like this, and he firmly believes that he will continue to do so.

"If Harry doesn't persuade Andy, are he going to watch him fall?" Nico Flamel saw Justin frowning: "Harry and Andy didn't grow up together, he could have just let him go. Joining Voldemort, it can even be said to be cruel, he can report a Death Eater who has killed countless people at Hogwarts at any time and send him to the death chamber of the Ministry of Magic."

"He can't do that!" Justin finally shouted excitedly: "They killed his parents!"

"Then do you have to watch him pay the price of the entire wizarding world to save his parents and friends, including you, Justin? Kill his parents? Justin." The alchemist master became serious: "You Have you ever thought about a question, if you hadn't told Draco about Andy's home language that day, would there have been any Death Eaters coming to his home?"

It's not that Justin hasn't thought about this problem, he has been tortured in his heart for a long time. He once tried to blame Potter for all the reasons, but every time he saw Andy's eyes, he would think of Lavender and his own hand. The result - they are also the promoters, and they also have good intentions and do wrong things.

Obviously the alchemist master did not let him go: "Harry also stood on the side of his parents. His parents were killed by Voldemort, and he was deeply hurt by all this. And you, Justin, Andy are Death Eaters, and you He is a Muggle-born wizard. If one day, his curse is forced to be cast on your parents, what will you do?"

Justin's heart was agitated, and guilt, shock, and fear shrank his heart into a ball - tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, but he didn't notice it at all.

"Child." Nico Flamel sighed: "This is why I keep you. You need to learn, whether it is mind or ability. This is not to give you the so-called ability to master the overall situation, but to no longer be influenced by other people." Shackles, you won’t get into trouble, you won’t make the same mistakes again—you can even always follow your heart.”

Justin seems to have figured it out. He identifies with his teacher and hopes that he is strong enough to have the ability to always be firm in his choice.

"Perhaps you will find your own path to truth one day, but it will take time. If you are willing, I will take you to the real alchemy. Inside the door is the secret of the magic stone, and even other more mysterious things. You can only approach it if you want to." The master alchemist put his hand on the door, but Justin hesitated.

"But I don't want eternal life, teacher. I don't want to watch the people around me leave, or become strangers to them, leaving me alone. Maybe my heart is small, and I can go this far. Even if I agree with what you said just now, it's because of them." Justin's hand on the door refused to move forward.

"My child, many of my companions have left me in the passage of time, drifting away, or have turned against each other, or have died. Some of them even after 600 years, I can't remember their appearance. And this is not terrible. , and it is not as painful as people think - we can always meet new people and new things, and parting is an experience, just like you and I can't always choose what we like, only when they are combined together is It is life, life that is always moving forward.”

Justin listened quietly, he said no more.

"Child, this is not as painful as the world says, nor is it as painful as the myth says, being able to control everything and look down at the world, immersed in the torrent of the world and time. This is the beauty of immortality - it lasts forever. Not lonely or boring.”

"But..." The brown-haired boy hesitated: "What you said is wonderful, but I..."

"Some things take time to achieve, Justin, and they have to be witnessed."

"What do you mean? Just like you and Grandma Perenelle? She..." The brown-haired boy raised his own question.

"She thinks so too, but if she chooses to give up one day, I will respect her choice."

"What do you think? What are you talking about..." The young man felt that there was something in his words.

"You will know later." Nico Flamel interrupted him and smiled meaningfully: And after 600 years, I hope that one day, she can live in the sun again. "

Justin nodded, but did not say a word. He gently pushed the door open, and the emerald green board finally appeared in front of the two of them.
