[HP] A Brief History of Time

"I was too reckless," Alona blamed herself hoarsely, "I should have prepared everything in advance, what would happen in that situation..."

Virginia patted her hand on her back lightly, and when she made this gesture, she was stunned—she had never done such a soothing gesture before.

Alona didn't notice this, and she took out the box brought back from the Valley of the Kings and the notebook left by Joseph Hebbs, "It's time for you to understand this too. Do you know, baby Son, I used to think that you didn't need to understand this at all." She said with emotion, "You are born beautiful, you can study without any worries, and you are still a witch, which is a unique condition. Even if you don't want to live forever In the wizarding world, going back to Witchwood and not worrying about money - that's what I've always dreamed of. But, Will, it's selfish to think like that - God forgive me, I can't deprive you of the truth Your aunt woke me up—seriously, I was not at all willing to let you associate with Blaise, contacting these people means uncovering the past, and it means affecting our lives now." She looked at Virginia intently, "Although you never asked, I know that you have already had doubts about your parents. What kind of people are they? How did they know each other? What happened to them... "

Virginia frowned, her eyes resting uncomfortably on the things in front of her, both of which she had seen in her dreams, and she picked up the grandfather's notebook and turned to the first page—on and off, off and on The dream of looking at flowers was still vague at first, but when she read the notes word by word, this memory gradually surfaced clearly, just like when she heard Alonna's voice just now, she felt the deepest pain She had lost her forever at the age of 11 by a blow to the heart—and she would have almost thought it all to be real had it not been for Alona still sitting in front of her.

But how to explain this notebook?Virginia almost frightened to turn over the pages, it was no different from the ones in the memory.In this notebook, Joseph Hebbs wrote down the plants and medicines he studied for most of his life, as well as the most important things about the Hebbs family.For example, the "God's gift" that Virginia swallowed in the Valley of the Kings.

The "gift of the gods" was originally just a seed handed down from the ancestors of Safik, and has been buried in the Valley of the Kings together with the golden box. It is said that an ancestor of Safik once helped Osiris who was murdered by his brother unintentionally. Hide a piece of the body of Osiris thrown by his brother Seth at the foot of the mountain to save it from being eaten by vultures.Therefore, Horus, the son born after the resurrection of Osiris, presented Shafik with a seed, which contained the blessing of him and his brother Anubis.

Shafik's ancestors sowed the seed with great care in a box of pure gold, but it never germinated year after year.Until Shafik escaped from Egypt because he offended the interests of the high priest of the temple, the specific history has not been verified, but this "gift of the gods" seed gained life in the hands of Karmusafik. He would become Helga Hufflepuff's big disciple by chance, received the gift of the golden cup, used his own blood to irrigate the first "gift of the gods", and buried the golden box in the Valley of the Kings since then - only this one Fruit can bear new fruit after picking old fruit.

Every generation of Herbers would eat this fruit in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt in the year when he inherited the manor, and at the same time use blood to irrigate new gifts of the gods for the next heir.But George Herbers has been avoiding the Death Eaters since graduation, and has no time to go to Egypt.Therefore, the one that Virginia devoured should have belonged to her father, and the gift of the gods lasted far longer than expected, which is why Virginia fainted immediately after swallowing it directly .

In the dream, Virginia spent three weeks eating the fruit because she was too weak.But it did save her dilapidated body.

Virginia didn't have to listen to Alona repeat the contents of the notebook in her ear, she now knew far more than she did, more than was recorded in the notebook, her thoughts were chaotic—— What kind of gift did God give her?Not just the changes that brought her blood and magic...

"Mom," Virginia interrupted Alona, ​​her face was paler than when she just fell asleep, "I'm sorry, I want to rest for a while."

Alona was stunned, and touched her forehead worriedly, "Where is it uncomfortable?"

Virginia just shook her head, and she gently pulled out the dagger from the golden box, "Tomorrow we will go and rebury it."

Alona watched her hesitant to speak, and the truth that she had finally summoned up the courage to tell her was once again swallowed by her.

Dolphin Rohr saw the two little British wizards he met a week ago again at the pool party by the beach. They were sitting on the wooden couch by the pool. The boy was obviously asleep, and the girl was holding with a notebook.He thought for a while, and went forward.

When a shadow blocked Virginia's view, she looked up and saw Dolphin smiling at her.Her eyes slipped unconsciously from his face to his left arm. At this moment, his white shirt was rolled up below his elbow, revealing a young and smooth inch of skin.

"The weather in Egypt is really nice." Dolphin sat down on the nearby wooden couch. He glanced at Virginia, and then turned his gaze to the swimming pool not far away. There were many people playing in the water. "Bob is sunbathing on the balcony right now. If it's snowing in England now."

Virginia closed the notebook and admitted softly that he was right, "but the scenery is a bit monotonous."

"You've been staying in the hotel? I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you had left. The scenery near the hotel is a bit monotonous, but you can go to other places for a walk, not only the emperor's tomb, the pyramid, but also Bazaars, some spice shops... are you going to be here until Christmas is over?"

"I'm afraid we will leave in a few days," Virginia asked him involuntarily. "What about you? Are you coming to Egypt for vacation?"

Dolphin smiled, "Actually, I have a business to discuss in this hotel."

Virginia immediately said, "That's great. It's not just Egypt. After you go to Egypt, you can go to other places. What's the point of always being in England? You graduated from Hogwarts and are about to It’s a good age, and it’s time to travel around the world to see it.”

Dolphin stared at her thoughtfully, with a strange familiarity in his heart, this girl seemed to have changed a lot compared to the last time he met, at this moment he had an illusion, as if he had known her for a long time, and he heard her trying to persuade her He wandered around the world, feeling ironic, "My home is in England, miss, I can't stay home all the time, can I?"

"But a lifetime is so long, what's the point of spending two or three years outside?"

"Is this what you yearn for?" Dolphin asked curiously.

Virginia paused sadly, and reluctantly admitted the reason he had said.She knew that it was impossible for Dolphin to escape the doom in the future with only one or two words of her own.Her eyes fell on his left arm again.

"Pooh, your two-way mirror is calling again, aren't you going to respond?" Blaise said suddenly.He sat up from the wooden couch, scratching his unsprayed hair.

Virginia glanced at the double-sided mirror he handed over, and Draco's voice came anxiously from the other end, calling her name repeatedly.She pursed her lips and pushed Blaise's hand away, "You answer him."

Blaise's drowsiness suddenly ran away. He hurriedly stuffed the mirror into his trouser pocket and covered it tightly, hissed, "Are you kidding, this is the third time, how do you want me to answer him?"

"Answer what you like," Virginia said. "I told you to keep the mirror in the hotel. Why do you always have it? Here, in a place full of Muggles, you can Take it out?"

Blaise rolled his eyes, and he glared at Dolphin, who was innocent, and jumped off the wooden couch, "Then I'll put it back, and next time I'll say I didn't hear it!" He thought Thinking, grabbed Virginia again, "You go back with me too."

Virginia was indifferent, "No, I'm not in good health recently, I want to bask in the sun." She glanced threateningly at his hand on her wrist and said, "If you pull me again, I will say that you will The mirror is hidden—you know, you're not clean."

Blaise complained helplessly, "Merlin, it seems that I can only be released from this terrible situation by returning to England as soon as possible!"

Dolphin kept looking at the two with a smile on his face, until Blaise trotted towards the hotel, and then asked with a smile, "...your boyfriend?"

"No, he's my cousin," Virginia showed a complicated look, and then she said, "It's the one on the other side of the mirror."

The smile on Dolphin's face paused, and when he didn't know what to say next, two short men in Arabic robes tapped Dolphin's shoulder lightly from behind.

"My friend," Dolphin said hastily. He didn't mean to introduce at all. He just said goodbye to Virginia and walked away with the two men.

Virginia glanced at their backs, and sharply saw a magic wand protruding from the sleeve of one of the Arab men, an Egyptian wizard.

Virginia looked away, and her mind returned to Joseph's notebook.

Anubis, the guardian of the dead.Horus, son of the resurrection.If the memories of the previous life in the dream were a gift from the gods, then why, Draco, why did he see them one step earlier than himself?
