Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 178 Photo Album
Upon returning from the Ministry of Magic, Tyrell immediately sat down at her desk and wrote a letter to Harry—

"Dear Harry,"

It's been a long time. I was busy getting back together with my father recently, so I didn't contact you. Today, my father and I went to the Ministry of Magic to confirm our adoption. From today onwards, my name is officially changed to Tyella Witch Lockhart.

Mr. Lockhart, oh, that is, my father, treated me very well and bought me a lot of books and potion ingredients.

I wonder if your studies and life are going well?
I don't have much to give you, so I'll just make two predictions for you—

First, a prisoner connected to you will escape from Azkaban, but don't worry, he poses no danger to you; the real danger comes from elsewhere.

Second, be careful not to blow your aunt up like a balloon, but it doesn't matter anyway, since your uncle definitely won't sign a pass for you to go to Hogsmeade. But don't worry, I'm sure you'll find a way to get to Hogsmeade.

That's all I wanted to say. I wish you well, and I think we'll see each other soon.

Wishing you well,
Tierra Lockhart

After Tyrell finished writing the letter, she folded the paper, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Raven.

Tierra and Gilderoy Lockhart went to the Ministry of Magic in the morning and returned to their house on Baker Street in the afternoon.

Therefore, Raven had no reason not to deliver the letter, but he still dawdled and asked for two pieces of raw beef before picking up the letter, pecking open the window and flying out.

After Raven flew away, Tierra opened her suitcase again and pulled out a large metal box from a pile of manuscripts and notes. Tierra opened the metal box—

It's full of pictures of Harry Potter.

Most of the photos were taken by Tierra herself, with a small portion obtained through a trade with Colin Clive.

There are photos of Harry eating, Harry attending class, Harry doing homework in the library, Harry sunbathing on the lawn, Harry soaring freely on the Quidditch pitch, Harry practicing magic with his wand, Harry playing with his friends, and even a few photos of Harry fast asleep in bed—

Tierra took off her shirt and placed the photos one by one on the skin of her chest.

These photos were absorbed into Tierra's skin one by one, and the skin on Tierra's chest began to swell up, as if a tumor had grown.

After all the photos were incorporated, the tumor on Tierra's chest twitched.

"Snapped--"

The tumor fell to the ground.

However, the tumor that had fallen to the ground continued to wriggle, gradually evolving into the shape of a book.

Gradually——

The sarcoma was transformed into an exquisite photo album.

It was a hardcover photo album, and the cover featured a picture of Harry.

In the photo, Harry stands at the gates of Hogwarts Castle, carrying his luggage, the morning sun casting its golden rays on his radiant smile.

This is the photo that Tierra considers her best. It was taken at the entrance of Hogwarts Castle before Tierra took Harry to the train station at the end of their second year, and it would be perfect as the cover of an album.

Tiye stretched out his hand, making a pushing motion towards the empty space in front of him—

A portal of light suddenly appeared in front of Tiera, in the void that Tiera's right hand touched.

Tiera picked up the photo album from the ground, threw it towards the portal, and then "thud—"

Snapped his fingers.

After the photo album flew into the portal, the portal disappeared instantly.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Azkaban...

"Clang—bang—smash—"

Sirius Black, who was idly gazing at the sea through the narrow iron window, suddenly caught a discordant sound—

It sounded like something was thrown in and hit the iron fence.

The faint sound was jarring amidst the cries of madness and terror that filled Azkaban. Sirius Black turned and looked toward the source of the sound—

A beautifully crafted photo album lay near the iron fence.

Sirius Black wanted to look away, but when his gaze swept over the album cover—

Sirius was instantly captivated by the smiling twelve-year-old boy on the album cover.

Sirius hurried to the iron fence, picked up the photo album—

“James…” Sirius gently stroked the album cover, “No, not James… it’s, it’s Harry…”

“Harry…it’s Harry…you, you’ve grown so much…” Sirius’s eyes welled up with tears, and a few sparks of light shone in the depths of his eyes. For the first time, his heart, which had been numb for twelve years since the deaths of James Potter and Lily Potter, began to beat again.

Sirius carefully flipped through the photo album—

The first page of the album is a group photo of four young wizards. Harry and another young wizard with dark hair and an Asian face are sandwiched in the middle, with a red-haired, freckled young wizard and a young brown, fluffy-haired young witch on either side.

Below the photo is a line of text:

"Harry Potter and his friends, from left to right: Ron Weasley, Harry Potter, Tyrell the Witch, Hermione Granger."

Sirius looked at the photo, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up slightly.

“Harry has made friends…that’s wonderful, wonderful…” Sirius murmured to himself, turning to the second page of the photo album—

The second and third pages of the album are filled with photos of Harry and his friends: Harry and the Weasley twins playing with fireworks, Harry eating with Ron and Hermione, Harry and Tiara playing on the grass, Harry and Tiara studying in the library, Harry asking Tiara about his homework, Harry sitting with Tiara in class, Harry and Tiara walking side by side down the corridor, and more...

Unfortunately, Tyella didn't have many photos of Harry playing around with his friends. Apart from a few hastily snapped photos at the end of the second year, Tyella had to exchange Harry's sleeping photos with Colin Clive for them.

I don't know when Colin Clive took so many photos, but why are they all of him and Harry?
Am I really getting too close to Harry?
In this light, it's not entirely unfounded for Dumbledore to often compare him to Grindelwald.

Hmm... it seems I'll have to keep a bit of distance from Harry this semester, so Dumbledore doesn't keep misunderstanding me.

Flipping further on, you'll find photos of Harry participating in Quidditch matches and training, as well as photos of Harry in class...

In addition to recording every detail of Harry's life, Tierra also clearly wrote about the things Harry experienced in the past two years in the album.

Sirius Black continued flipping through the photo album, his smile growing wider and warmer.

However, when he turned to the last page...

Sirius's smile suddenly froze, regret, anger, pain, and the lingering smile squeezed onto Sirius Black's handsome yet haggard face.

The last page of the album contains only one photo.

The background of the photo is a small bed that is clearly different from the beds in the Hogwarts dormitory.

Although the bedding on the bed was old, it was kept very clean. Standing on the bed was a snowy white snowy owl, a black raven, and a large, fat yellow rat that was cramped between the raven and the snowy owl.

The mouse was missing its little finger on its right paw.

The caption below the photo reads:

"From left to right, Tierra, Ron Weasley, and Harry's pet."

Two more lines were written below:
"He accompanied Harry to school and will accompany him to graduation; he will witness Harry's entire growth process."
