[Comprehensive English and American] Ripples in time and space

"Hi Kelly!"

"What?" Kelly stopped, turned around and waited for Bill who was catching up in a hurry, and his younger brother Charlie Weasley, who had just joined the Gryffindor Quidditch team, followed him and greeted Kelly happily .

"I heard you plan to stay in school this year?" Bill asked.

"Yeah." Kelly shrugged.

"And Professor McGonagall won't stay at school?"

"Yeah." Kelly shrugged again.This is already her fourth year at Hogwarts, and McGonagall just accepted a marriage proposal from her old boss, Elphstone Uquilte, this summer. This will be their first joint marriage proposal. Christmas spent - since Professor McGonagall obviously couldn't leave her Hogwarts job for a honeymoon, this Christmas was actually a honeymoon, and Kelly didn't want to disturb this period between them at all time.She is also very clear that after more than three years, the relationship between herself and Professor McGonagall is still more like a teacher and a student than a mother and daughter. This is partly due to her own reasons: Kelly is very clear that she has always behaved more Act like a polite, distanced adult, not a well-behaved child.However, she is already very grateful for Mag's hospitality, and feels that the distance now is good.Besides, she's not the very family type girl either.

"Comeon, Kelly, you must come to our house for Christmas this year!" Bill said, "If my mother finds out that you are staying at school for Christmas and I don't invite you, she will kill me, absolutely Yes. And we'll be at Grimmauld Place for Christmas this year, and the Tonks will be there, and Sirius and Lupine will be there, and Harry—"

"Really?" Kelly raised her eyebrows with great interest, "How old is Harry, five years old?"

"Yeah, little Ronnie is five, Ginny is four, and the twins are seven, so I have to forewarn you that this is going to be the loudest, loudest, loudest Christmas you've ever had," they said They walked into the lobby together, and breakfast was already set on the long table, "But anyway, you still have to come, it will be fun, we can play Quidditch together—"

"Yes!" Charlie agreed beside him. "You'll have the right number if you come over! Lupine and Patsy won't play, and if you join we can play foursomes with Sirius—"

"If you don't want to come, I will never take the blame. I will write to my mother," Bill said, "and then she will write three letters a day to invite you—"

"It looks like I don't have the option to refuse at all, does it?" Kelly pouted.

"Yeah," said the Weasley brothers in unison, laughing at the same time, "Come on, come on, you know it'll make Professor McGonagall happier too."

"And Percy! Little Percy is coming to Hogwarts next year. You know he adores you. He even said once that he wanted to go to Ravenclaw too."

"Okay, okay." Kelly sighed, "I'll just go! Remember to tell me what Mrs. Weasley likes for Christmas."

"Yes!" The two brothers extended their hands and clapped hands.Kelly shrugged, waved to the two brothers, and sat down at the long table in Ravenclaw, "Hi, Hathaway!"

Hathaway, the other girl in her room, had beautiful straight blonde hair that fell to her waist.But at this time, she was angrily talking about something with the girls around her. She almost threw her hair into the porridge and didn't notice it. When she turned her head and saw Kelly, she angrily stuffed the crumpled Daily Prophet into her hand: "Kay Li! Look, look! My father has long said that people in the Ministry of Magic eat nothing all day and do nothing..."

Kelly didn't pay attention to what she said later, she stared in shock at the big words on the cover: "Peter Pedillo escaped from prison last night and the Ministry of Magic is in full swing".

"...Harry is coming," she murmured under her breath, looking up at Dumbledore's chair.But that chair is empty.

Although she is now in the fourth grade, Kelly has not forgotten the conversation she had with Dumbledore in the corridor late at night when she first entered school.During these years, she and Dumbledore did not have any frequent communication, and she rarely went to the principal's office, partly to protect her, and partly because Kelly was just a Hogwarts junior no matter how old she was before crossing. , the level of magic is quite limited, no matter how hard she studies, she can't really help in destroying the Horcrux.After a long time like this, Kelly gradually got used to the life of an ordinary student.

But now everything is different, Peter has run away, he will definitely go to Voldemort, and then he will find a way to take Harry away.Harry had been taken to live with Sirius and Lupine these years, and this year, Kelly knew, Sirius' mother had just passed away, so he finally inherited the big house in Grimmauld Place.Although he has always hated that place, he may not move in there, but who can say for sure—for example, there are too many people celebrating Christmas this year, and other places can't accommodate it, so he just moved back temporarily?The house in Grimmauld Place had a lot of protective spells, and it would be even more difficult to get hold of if Harry moved in there.

No matter how you look at it, Peter and Voldemort are very likely to take advantage of the Christmas holiday to do something.In fact, even if they hadn't intended to, Kelly doubted that Dumbledore might try to lure or coerce them into doing it over the Christmas holidays.The most swearing part about this whole thing is that they also had to let him take Harry - Voldemort couldn't make the connection without being resurrected with Harry's blood, and couldn't kill himself without the connection The piece of soul, if that piece of soul is not killed, Voldemort will die first, God who knows what the remaining piece of soul will do to Harry's soul...

These things were running wildly in her mind, and she was distracted throughout the class, not reading a single page of the book opened in front of her.Fortunately, the first class in the morning was History of Magic. Kelly always read other books on spells in this class, so it didn't matter if she lost her mind for an extra class.

"Hey Kelly! Kelly!"

"What?" Kelly was startled, and suddenly woke up, "Ah, Joanna! Is get out of class over?"

She looked around and saw that the students had already walked out of the classroom in twos and threes.Joanna gloated at her and smiled: "I didn't expect our perfect girl Kelly to have a day of distraction in class, huh?"

"Oh come on, Joanna, you know I never take History of Magic classes." Kelly jokingly patted her with the book, and swept the things on the desk into her schoolbag, "Let's go, this afternoon is about magic spells." Class, with Gryffindor, I also want to ask Bill and his family what they like..."

"Sometimes I think you're a little too polite," Joanna commented as she followed her, "Come on, you're invited to spend Christmas with everyone, not to buy them off with gifts—you know , Hathaway has already complained to me..."

"It's my habit, Joe, as long as you understand my heart." Kelly joked casually.The real reason she can't explain right now is because she will leave this world in less than ten years at most, and she doesn't know if she will be able to come back in the future, so forging a deep relationship will only make everyone more sad when parting .

At the lunch table, she searched the long table of Gryffindor from time to time, but she never found Bill.The atmosphere at the Gryffindor table today seemed a bit weird, everyone had serious expressions on their faces, and from time to time some people got together and muttered something.

"What's the matter with Gryffindor?" she asked the always well-informed Hathaway across the table.

Hathaway shrugged: "I don't know. Finally driven crazy by Trelawney? Maybe they smelled too much spice and finally got poisoned or something."

"Divination class in Gryffindor in the morning?"

Hathaway nodded.Kelly became more and more confused - if it was about potions, spells, or the protection of magical creatures class, she could still guess that Bill was injured in some unfortunate way, but for the divination class, would Bill be scratched by a broken crystal ball?

It was not until all the dishes on the table disappeared that Bill rushed over.Before he could sit still, he hurriedly scooped a lot of vegetables onto his plate, and almost immediately the plates on the table were empty.Charlie, who was next to him, stuffed the reserved sandwich and got grateful eyes from his brother.

"What happened?" Kelly stopped Bill and Charlie at the door when almost everyone in the hall was gone, "Your academy seems to be in a panic."

"Divination class in the morning." Bill has always been casually cool, but now even he is frowning. It was as if she had passed out, and the crystal ball was shattered on the ground... When she fell down, she knocked over another crystal ball, and the classroom was in chaos at that time, and I happened to be the closest, so I caught her in time and put She put it on a chair. And then... she started talking in a very low, hoarse voice, I've never heard her use that."

"Say what?" Kelly couldn't help asking, her heart beating faster.

Bill gave her a strange look, "There was a mess in the classroom at the time, I guess I might be the only one who listened to that passage completely, Professor Dumbledore didn't let me tell others, but he said he could tell you."

Because I already knew it.Kelly said silently in her heart.

"Professor Trelawney said, 'The Dark Lord lies alone, friendless, abandoned by his fellows. For five years his servant has been kept in chains. Tonight, before midnight, the servant will break free from his chains and set out to find His master. The Dark Lord will rise again with the help of his servant, stronger and more terrifying than ever. Tonight—before midnight—the servant—will begin—to find—his master again—' Then she woke up suddenly, acted like she had just fallen asleep, had no idea what she had said, thought what we were saying was gibberish."

Kelly is no longer in the mood to listen to him continue, her mind is full of one thing: In the original book, the servant who "breaks the chain before midnight" refers to Peter who escaped that night, but now Peter has already escaped , then what this servant is referring to is probably Barty Crouch Jr.

Although she already knew that what she had done had caused a big butterfly effect, at this moment, Kylie still felt uneasy: if the butterfly effect she caused was too big, Dumbledore would not be able to What should I do if the control changes?What if Voldemort wasn't going to use Harry's blood to resurrect him?After all, in the original book, Voldemort felt the harm Lily's spell brought to Quirrell, but not here!What if Voldemort planned to kill Harry outright?What if another Death Eater accidentally killed him?

When she made that suggestion four years ago, her affection for the people in this world was nothing more than a slight affection for the characters in the book.But during these years of getting along, her feelings for Bill, the Weasleys, Sirius, Lupine, and Harry have grown deeper and deeper, although Sirius and Kelly have only met a few times, and they have been together for less than half a year. It's been a month, but her feelings for them are far from what they were at the beginning.

That's when she realized what Dumbledore's look at her meant four years ago: she was suggesting that a child under two years old be used as bait to lure Voldemort, and she didn't even realize how cruel it was. matter.

"I'm sorry, Harry." Kelly whispered in her heart, "I should have realized earlier that this is not just a world in a book."
