In a blink of an eye, two winters have passed, and the third winter has come.It was snowing outside, and the sidewalks and roofs were covered in a thin white layer, but it was warm as spring in a small inner-city apartment.Kelly was engrossed in her book, when she heard the door slam, Bucky chatted with Sirius at the door, then locked the door and walked into the inner room.

"Have you had fun?" she asked without looking up.

"The happiest is Teddy."

"Oh, so the rest of you are either just as good as Teddy under two, or worse than Teddy," Kelly said.

"Hey." Bucky laughed, leaning over to tickle her.Kelly giggled and put down the book, turned around and slid over: "Okay, let's stop making trouble. How is school?"

"Actually, I feel that in a few years, I will still feel that there will be endless new things to learn." Bucky said, "But I have already submitted an application to enter the school's astronomy laboratory, but there is no reply yet. ——You What about the House-Elf Protection Society that you've been doing with Hermione lately?"

"Sirius complaining to you again?" Kelly laughed.

"No, this is the first time he hasn't complained to me. It's a miracle. What trick did you give Hermione so that Sirius wouldn't object?"

"I think the biggest miracle is that when you have only been here for three months, you are already very familiar with Sirius and Remus. I have been here for ten years, and I have never been so rude to them. Don't talk about it." Kelly laughed, "It's actually very simple, it's nothing more than taking the most irrefutable and irrefutable thing he can't refuse to explain how this sport is good for him—you guess?"

Bucky only paused for three seconds: "Remus."

"By the way!" Kelly laughed, "Hermione took three times longer than you."

"Hermione is only half my age, which is nothing to be proud of." Bucky shrugged and sat down on the other side of the chair, "but she is too idealistic, sometimes as stubborn as Steve... you can teach her as well."

"Although decades have passed, I also had a lot of experience in participating in the anti-war movement and affirmative action movement." Kelly laughed, "That's why I agree with Hermione's house elf protection plan—— Among all non-human magical creatures, they are the easiest targets. They are close to humans, non-threatening, non-hostile, and have a bad living environment... Moreover, if you can make an opening from them, future werewolves and everything can follow Do it."

"Are you very ambitious, have you planned the layout for Hermione so early?" Bucky asked with a smile.

"She's like that—it's hard to ignore something unfair when she sees it. It's really a bit like Steve, isn't it?" Kelly laughed, "It's just that she doesn't have such a big vision now. If she lays the groundwork, the first few steps will be easier. What she will do later is entirely up to her. But to be honest, this is a very difficult thing in itself, not to mention the difficulty of fighting for the rights of werewolves. ... If she can't continue in the middle, I can understand it."

"She doesn't seem like someone who would give up halfway," Bucky said.

"Yeah, that's why it's particularly worrying." Kelly shrugged, "You know, what happened to me publicly was that I was accidentally involved in a time-turner explosion while chasing Death Eaters, and disappeared a year later. It's back again... This matter is of course effective in promoting the protection of the rights and interests of house elves, but it will also prematurely attract opponents whose interests have been touched. Fortunately, they are only students now, so let's beat them first Let's play around for a few years."

"You don't seem too keen." Bucky raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter, you are so disappointed that you can't continue to be an Auror? I thought you liked working at St. Mungo's."

"It's nothing to do with work, I'm just... a little tired of saving the world, you know?" Kelly spread her hands, "There are endless troubles everywhere, wars, evil, social injustice... can never be wiped out, everyone The universe has its own dark side, and sometimes people suddenly feel a little bored... I save the world once, and human beings will study various methods to destroy themselves again, what's the use?"

Bucky rubbed her curly hair gently: "You don't really think so, and you know it."

"Yeah." Kelly slumped her shoulders and sighed, "I won't talk about that. Do you have any happy news?"

"Well, did Sirius praise you today?" Bucky said, "He said that you are learning Animagus much faster than they did back then."

"Based on what I know about Sirius, he probably emphasized later that they are self-taught, and I have Minerva as a guide. What a huge difference." Kelly laughed.

Back in this world, Kelly couldn't think of anything to change.She was not familiar with modern history, and there were no major changes in this relatively peaceful era—Microsoft hadn’t gone public yet, and Google hadn’t even been created; the U.S. president hadn’t been assassinated; the Gulf War had ended, and the Iraq War hadn’t even started yet.

So, she simply gave up the idea of ​​changing the world to earn points, and concentrated on continuing to learn magic.She is currently focusing on Animagus, and she is still continuing her research on medical magic.According to McGonagall's estimation, she will probably be able to learn Animagus in just two or three months. After she completes the study, Kelly plans to learn more advanced skills of insanity and brain. Occlusion.

The ebony wand was once again put in reserve by her, and she bought a new wand at Ollivander: fir, dragon heartstring, twelve and a half inches.Kelly picked up the wand, swept it casually, and cleaned the snow on Bucky's clothes and shoes.Bucky smiled and took her hand and kissed it: "How is your emergency patient today?"

They have been living together like this for about two years.At first, the two lived with the Minerva couple in Hogsmeade, and then Kelly and Bucky went to work and study in St. Mungo respectively, and they moved out.It had been two happiest years, but Kelly could sense a deep-seated unease in both her and Bucky's—it was too happy to be real.Perhaps it was more difficult for Bucky, after all, he had to deal with 50 years of development and a whole strange wizarding world, but he didn't show too many complaints in front of Kelly.On the contrary, he showed great enthusiasm and interest in the development of technology, and Kelly sincerely hoped that he really felt this way, not just comforting her.Of course, when both of them are no longer carefree, they will occasionally wake up from the nightmare, and sometimes even accidentally hurt each other sleeping beside them.But compared to World War II, this is indeed very happy.

As for the Animagus, for some reason, Kelly's study went smoothly in the front, but in the final stage, she stumbled.It wasn't until April, when the spring blossomed, that she tried to fully transform into an animal form for the first time.

"I think it's going to be a large animal," Kelly said, "something like Sirius...maybe a dog too?"

"Maybe." Sirius stood aside, folded his arms and said with a smile, "Are you ready, Kelly?"

Professor McGonagall had something to do that day, so the professor and supervisor changed to Sirius, and Bucky and Lupine were also on the side.Kelly nodded.He closed his eyes and frowned slightly.Her body began to twist and deform strangely, but it didn't look really scary, it seemed that the process of twisting and deforming had been blurred.All of a sudden, she disappeared out of thin air. Standing in front of everyone was a huge, half-human-tall animal, covered in gray-white fur.

"Fxxk." Sirius cursed under his breath, and Lupine gasped.Bucky looked at them nervously: "What's the matter, she didn't make a mistake, did she?"

"This is not a dog at all." Sirius said in a low voice, his face full of disbelief, "This is... this is a wolf."

"The white wolf of Newfoundland is extinct." Kelly frowned as she spoke, "I have been in this form three times before and after, and it seems that it has been determined-but it is an extinct species? Has any wizard ever had this form? Animagus form?"

"As far as I know, there is none." Sirius shrugged, "Maybe you are not from this world, so you have an Animagus that does not exist in this world?"

"Magic is amazing." Kelly smiled sarcastically, "And I don't remember any wizards whose Animagus form is a wolf. There are currently recorded cases where wizards turn into wolves—"

"Generally speaking, it's because they are werewolves themselves, and they undergo uncontrollable transformations during the full moon." Lupine answered calmly, "Kelly, you should have never been bitten, right? In the transformation form just now Are you always conscious?"

Kelly frowned and nodded.Sirius suddenly said: "Hey, it's not impossible that he didn't show up—why are you so sad-faced? And the wizard turned into a horse, and he's not a horse himself."

"We'd better ask Minerva." Lupine finally made up his mind. "She can go back to school probably tomorrow. Before that, Kelly, you should stop practicing Animagus. If she says it's okay , you continue."

Although she only showed incomprehension and confusion in front of Sirius and Lupine, Kelly was indeed not in a good mood.She apparated back to the apartment with Bucky sullenly, and was waving her wand to unlock the door, when Bucky suddenly said, "Although I don't know magic, I always know what my Patronus will look like."

"What?" Kelly was aroused with curiosity.

"Wolf," Bucky said, "Really. I've fantasized about my Patronus ever since you told me the concept of a Patronus, and that's what I came to at the time. And it still is." Saying that, he shrugged Shrugged and embraced Kelly, "Really, do you hate wolves? I don't think it's that bad."

Kelly shook her head: "It can't be said to be annoying-but it's not a very lovable animal after all, isn't it? But are you telling the truth, or are you just trying to make me happy?"

"You know, I'm going to say it's true anyway, right?" Bucky asks, and Kelly laughs.

"No, seriously, it's important to me," she said, laughing. "It's really important. So please tell me the truth."

"Here's the truth: I did always think my Patronus would be a wolf," Bucky said, looking down into her eyes sincerely.The hallway was dimly lit, and his eyes were brown and charming. "You know I've never been a big believer in destiny, Kelly, but if it exists, then I met you."

Kelly smiled and looked up, Bucky quickly caught the cue, and the two exchanged a deep and long kiss that would never have been possible without the lung capacity of a super soldier.

"You know, I'll take this seriously." After the kiss was over, Kelly smiled and waved her wand, finally opening the door, but never took her eyes off Bucky.

"It's true," Bucky responded, leaning down and kissing her again.

The author has something to say: Bucky's actor Sebastian Stan has said that he feels like his Patronus is a wolf.Still an actor.

The HP does not explicitly say which animals the wizard's Animagus form can be.But Bucky's Patronus (albeit not) is a wolf, Kelly's Patronus is a deer, and both of them have each other, which is really a meme that I can't resist...

--------------------------

Another supplementary background, regarding Kelly's three wands.The source of information is pottermore, and the translation refers to the post of pottermore on Baidu Tieba: [Translation] The wooden characteristics of the wand

Kelly's first wand: beech, phoenix feather, twelve inches

Beech beech

Wizards who are really suitable for beech wands, if they are young, are more intelligent among their peers; if they are adults, they will have rich experience and tolerance.Beech sticks are weak against narrow minded users.These are not particularly suited to the owner of a beech wand (despite admiring its rich color and high price), and are always approached by learned wandmakers (such as myself) to advise them of the lack of power in their beautiful wands.When the right owner is found, a beech wand possesses a keenness and artistry of skill, a reputation that few other woods can match in brilliance.

Spare wand Kelly bought from Gregorovitch: Ebony, unicorn hair, eleven inches

Ebony ebony, ebony

The jet-like ebony has a charming appearance and reputation, and they are highly compatible with battle magic and transfiguration.Ebony likes to have the courage to be its own master, usually non-religious people, people with high self-esteem or good relationships with external people, there are ebony staff holders in the Order of the Phoenix and Death Eaters.In my experience, the ebony staff is best suited to those wizards who hold fast to their beliefs, ignoring external pressures and remaining unwavering.

Kelly's third wand now: Firwood, Dragon Heartstring, twelve and a half inches

Fir fir

My stern grandfather, Gerbold Octavius ​​Ollivander, often referred to fir wands as survivors' wands, because all three wizards to whom he had sold them survived mortal danger and survived unscathed.Undoubtedly such wands, from his most resilient woods, need stability and great strength to be their true masters, and they are poor props in the hands of fickle and indecisive hands.Fir wands are particularly suited to Transfiguration, and they favor masters who are focused, strong-minded, and, occasionally, domineering.

It can be seen that the focus of buying wands from Ollivander twice has changed.The most prominent feature of Kelly when she first went there was intelligence, but now that she has experienced many worlds, the most prominent feature is her strong will and determination.

Her next wand won't be a wand in HP, and won't write textures.But my mind would be a wand of yew:

Yew

Yew wands are an even rarer breed, and the owners who suit them are equally extraordinary, or notorious.Yew wands give their bearer the power to control life and death, and perhaps all wands have this ability; but they also enjoy very dark and frightening dueling and spellcasting abilities.However, this does not mean (as some people who know nothing about wands say) that people with yew wands are more attracted to the Dark Arts than others.The wizard best suited to a yew wand may also be a staunch protector.Wands whittled from this long-lived tree have been used by heroes and villains alike.When a wizard dies and is buried with his yew wand, the wand will take root and grow into a tree that protects the owner's grave.From my experience, it is safe to say that they never choose mediocre or timid masters.
