[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

Kelly gripped his hand obediently, and then she seemed to be suddenly dragged into a very narrow pipe, or squeezed into a hydraulic machine, feeling pushed in all directions and unable to breathe. Come—then suddenly this feeling disappeared again, she gasped for breath, wiped her face to wipe away the tears she squeezed out.

"Apparition is always uncomfortable for the first time," said Dumbledore beside him.

"I don't know, but this is beyond the 'uncomfortable' category for me." Kelly gasped.Dumbledore waited for her to calm down before leading her forward. They turned out of the alley and walked a few steps along the street. Kelly saw two ordinary shops crowded in between. That famous place——

"The Leaky Cauldron!" she cheered a little.Dumbledore smiled and led her in.

The inside of the bar was exactly the same as the scene in the movie. The bald old bartender greeted them from behind the bar: "Mr. Dumbledore! What an honor—"

"Good afternoon, Tom." Dumbledore nodded politely to him, "Is there a place for a private conversation?"

"Upstairs, sir." Tom hurried out from behind the bar, and they followed him down a narrow passage and into a cubicle.Tom brought a pot of tea and closed the door behind him.

Dumbledore gestured for Kylie to sit down opposite him, and with a wave of his wand, he summoned a silver-white phoenix.

"Minerva, could you please bring the Pensieve to the Leaky Cauldron? Thank you very much." He said, and with another graceful stroke of his wand, the phoenix flew out of the window and disappeared.

"Patronus Charm?" Kelly asked.Even though she knew the seriousness of the situation, she was still a little excited about the magic.

"Yes, it seems that you really know a lot about the wizarding world." Dumbledore smiled, but his smile didn't fully reach his eyes, "Before the Pensieve arrives, maybe you don't mind revealing it to me first, What is your prophecy about specifically?"

"What I know is the seven years Harry Potter was studying at Hogwarts." Kylie replied, after all, Dumbledore will soon know all about it, and she is just playing the role of introduction, "here Voldemort had been missing before, but during his school year, he reappeared, so Harry and you knew he wasn't dead, but the Ministry of Magic refused to admit it...well, he wiped out one of Voldemort's souls the following year But at that time, I didn't know that it was a Horcrux. In the fourth year Hogwarts held the Triwizard Tournament, Voldemort took advantage of that opportunity to kidnap Harry, resurrected him completely with his blood, and almost killed him. But the Ministry of Magic still refused to admit that he had returned, so you reconvened the Order of the Phoenix to confront him..."

Just as she was saying this, there was a light knock on the door, so Kelly stopped.

"Come in," said Dumbledore. "Ah, Minerva, thank you."

Professor McGonagall put the Pensieve on the table and looked at Kelly curiously.

"Is this the freshman you picked up yourself, Dumbledore?" she asked.

"Yes, and it seems that our mystery has not been completely solved, but has increased a lot." Dumbledore replied, and he held up his elder wand, "If you don't mind the presence of our vice-headmaster, Kelly..."

"No." Kelly replied.She took a deep breath again, and tightly grasped the hem of the skirt with both hands.

"Furthermore, I need to remind you," continued Dumbledore, "that extraction of memory itself will not do you any harm, nor will it reduce the memory you own. Part of the content is also limited, and giving the memory is the same as saying it yourself, and you will be punished by the spell."

"No, principal." Kelly smiled a little at this, "I'm ready."

"Wait, Professor Dumbledore, you want to extract this child's memory?" Professor McGonagall asked in surprise, "But why?"

"I'll explain it to you later, Minerva," said Dumbledore.He nodded gravely to Kelly, and pressed his wand to her temple.Kelly shivered slightly, trying to ignore the discomfort caused by this move.

"Now, try to recall clearly the memories you need to present to me," said Dumbledore, "and focus on that information..."

Kelly closed her eyes, the heightened plot information so clear that trying to focus on recalling it was a breeze.She concentrated on all the information in the seven books, quickly going through them in her mind before opening her eyes.She was surprised to see six glass vials lined up on the table, each containing what appeared to be a cloud of off-white mist, while Dumbledore was filling the seventh cloud of mist wrapped around the tip of his wand into a in a new vial.

"Although I don't know the specific content of these memories, it seems that they are divided into seven sections." He noticed Kelly's gaze and explained actively, "Is that so?"

"Yes. Harry's year at Hogwarts is a period."

"And the Horcrux part?" Dumbledore asked.

"In the sixth and seventh paragraphs." Kelly replied, but then she remembered that Dumbledore died in the sixth part, and the seventh part was obviously not a happy story, so she Hastily added: "However, you may wish to start with the first paragraph..."

"It seems like a big project." Dumbledore commented, he plugged the seventh vial, put it aside, picked up the first vial as he said, and poured the contents into the Pensieve. "Sorry, Minerva, I'm afraid you need to take this child to Diagon Alley..."

"Of course." Professor McGonagall replied.She looked at Kelly several times curiously, but in the end she didn't ask her anything, she just motioned her to walk out of the room with her, and while closing the door, she began to explain to her: "Hogwarts will help you if you have financial difficulties." The students provide a sum of money, not a lot, but enough for you to complete seven years of study. Now, where is your list?"

It was only then that Kelly realized that she was still clutching the letter in her hand and hadn't opened it.Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows high, watching her hastily opened the envelope, and pulled out a list from it.

"Very well, now, everything can be bought in Diagon Alley..."

It wasn't until sunset that Kelly returned to the Leaky Cauldron for dinner with her backpack on her shoulders.Tom informs her that Dumbledore has prepaid the fee and that she can stay here temporarily and the bill will be charged to Dumbledore.Kelly asked Professor McGonagall to convey her thanks, and returned to her room on the third floor of the small bar.

She sat down heavily on the bed, took a breath, lost her mind for a while, then sat up, unzipped the backpack, and dumped everything in it, with a "crash", a lot of things Immediately, the whole bed was piled up, and a long small box even rolled down to the floor.Professor McGonagall had cast a space expansion spell and a feather spell on this backpack (so that Kelly would not be crushed to death by the many things inside), but the spells did not last long, and she still had to buy a suitcase by herself before school started.

But that's all for the future. Kelly is in the mood now, and she won't think about it soon. Instead, she bends down to pick up the small box, opens it, and inside is her new wand: beech, phoenix Feather, twelve inches.She touched the wand lightly, feeling a slight heat flow from her fingertips.In fact, she didn't really feel at ease until the moment she got the wand and saw a large champagne-colored flower spewing out from the tip of the wand: Before that, she had been worried that her name would be just used by the X family. Technology adds to the list, and she doesn't really have any real talent for magic.

After fiddling with her wand for a while, she sat up and sorted out the other pile of trophies on the bed: the cauldron, potion ingredients, magic robes, telescope, and a whole set of textbooks.In addition to the textbooks, there is also a large stack of books. Kelly asked Professor McGonagall to make a set of basic reference books for her when she was in Lihen Bookstore: Although the bursary is not too much, buy a few more books It's still enough, after all, after school starts, she basically won't have any expenses.

And, besides that, she has other sources of income.

After packing away the magic items, the only thing left on the bed was what she had brought from the time travel: a change of clothes, toiletries, some useful gadgets like flashlights, lighters, and finally a heavy, bulging Small bag.Inside are rubies the size of pigeon eggs, twelve in total.

This is also a novice benefit: when traveling through different worlds, she can travel with the things she wears and the things she is carrying and holding, and before the first world, she can bring some things that she imagined in the time travel space, Of course, it is limited to ordinary things with limited technological content. It is completely impossible to bring invisibility cloaks, lasers/lights/guns, etc., so this benefit can only provide her with suitable clothes and a little backup funds. : Since the Gryffindor sword is inlaid with rubies, Kelly guesses that rubies should be quite valuable in the wizarding world.

Stuffing these things back into her backpack, Kylie headed to the bathroom with a change of clothes in her arms—a first day in the wizarding world, despite its twists and turns, was still great.

But, must she take a bath in front of a talking mirror?

After exchanging two rubies at Gringotts and going out to buy a few sets of clothes that fit her, Kelly lived a regular life: going out for an hour of morning jog every morning, eating breakfast, reading, and occasionally walking around Diagon Alley in the afternoon. circle, and continue reading.Shopping alone was more difficult than she thought, and she had to act like a cute little girl when shopping for clothes: "Oh, my mom was watching me from behind! But she said I was old enough to do it myself" her own clothes.” But when it came time to buy a suitcase, that didn’t work, and she had to sneak away pretending to be looking for her parents, and that was put on hold for now.

At the same time, she quickly discovered the impact of the improvement of intelligence: now she can read books with a photographic memory, although many concepts in the magic world are very strange to her, but she can understand the contents of the book There seems to be no difficulty.Now she is confident that after reading all the textbooks twice, at most three times, she will definitely be able to answer any questions fluently like Hermione.

Although she was not considered stupid at first, and often used her excellent grades to beat those male students who thought "girls are not suitable for learning computers", Kelly now realizes that the real smart people treat ordinary people as What mentality—looking back at her past self now, she couldn't understand how it took so much effort to learn such a simple thing, and it was no wonder that Hermione looked like a "Miss Know It All" at the beginning.

However, such a regular life didn't last long. After only a week, Kelly came back from her morning run drenched in sweat. When she opened the door, she was surprised to find that Dumbledore was sitting inside.

"Principal!" She had long expected that Dumbledore would come to her again, but she was not too surprised. "Sorry, I, um, change clothes first?" She gestured to the drenched T-shirt on her body.

"Please feel free, Kelly, I'm sorry to bother you at an inconvenient time." Dumbledore smiled and made a gesture of letting go, and Kelly hid in the bathroom.

She tidied herself up quickly in 10 minutes and sat across from Dumbledore.

"You probably already guessed the purpose of my coming here today." Dumbledore said slowly, "Kelly, I'm afraid you're going to live in another place."

Kelly nodded, not terribly surprised.

"Have you read today's Daily Prophet?" Dumbledore asked.Kelly shook her head, so Dumbledore pushed a newspaper to her. The first one was written in bold and large font: "Sirius Black was wronged!" Photos of people with disheveled hair and prison uniforms.

Kelly understood at a glance: "You proved that my memory is real?" She asked with a smile.

Dumbledore nodded solemnly: "Although I can guarantee that no one else knows that I got the news from you except me and Minerva, your memory is very important, and we cannot risk it being destroyed by Death Eaters." One has to go, even if it's just in case. So, I'm sorry, you need to move to a safer place to live."

"I get it, Headmaster," Kelly laughed. "I'm twenty-one, not really eleven—"

"Sorry, sorry, the occupational disease of being a principal." Dumbledore smiled kindly, his attitude this time was much milder than last time, "Since I need to tell your new guardian at least part of the information, the person who can be trusted is Very limited. The Weasleys would have been a good choice, but their youngest daughter has just been born - how would you like living with Professor McGonagall?"
