Hogwarts doesn't need a savior
Page 149
It's a pity that although he has mastered many powerful curse and anti-curse magic, he has not done in-depth research on this unique type of magic.
Now that Inès has joined, this gap can be filled perfectly. Even if no progress can be made for the time being, it represents a research direction.
Time is currently on their side, and the human and material resources are sufficient to support research in multiple fields in parallel.
At least for quite some time, it will be one of the highly confidential and key projects within the organization.
-----------------
After seeing Inès off, the remaining time of summer vacation flew by as if it had wings.
On August 8, the two took Rem, who was about to attend Beauxbatons, to Diagon Alley and bought her the first wand in her life.
Eleven inches, willow, with a core made of female unicorn hair.
In the words of Mr. Ollivander, this is a wand that symbolizes sensibility, wisdom, loyalty and compassion.
For Rham, who has experienced many injuries and blows and whose body has just recovered from the dual pressures of malnutrition and excess magic power, this sensitive and delicate wand should be perfect.
......
......
On August 8, the Ministry of Magic officially passed the Second Amendment to the Muggle Protection Act, further relaxing the ban on the magicalization of Muggle items and lifting the regulatory mechanism for some categories of Muggle items, allowing them to circulate in the wizarding community in a market manner after being registered with the Ministry of Magic.
According to a reporter from the Daily Prophet, Minister of Magic Fudge did not look very happy at the press conference.
At the same time, the Ministry of Magic also announced the establishment of the Azkaban Office to temporarily coordinate the forces of all parties to capture Sirius Black, the most dangerous Death Eater fugitive in recent years.
It was at this press conference that Fudge announced the list of non-Ministry of Magic employees who would be participating in the project.
Lin En's name was listed first, causing an uproar in the audience.
After all, he had not appeared on the official list of public cooperation with the Ministry of Magic for many years - the last time was during the time of Millicent Barnold, when he personally took action to eliminate a group of giants who were threatening the mountain wizard community.
The simultaneous announcement of the two pieces of news inevitably triggered speculation among many interested parties.
......
......
On August 8, the International Confederation of Wizards announced the results of the handling of the "Unknown Dark Magic Creatures in the Kushan Ruins", bringing an end to the disposal of supernatural creatures that had been going on for more than four years.
In the list of people who were publicly commended and awarded honors, Lin En still appeared at the top, but this time, Euphemia and others were no longer hiding behind the scenes, but revealed their identities openly.
But they are still not the focus of attention and discussion.
Because Lynn is obviously more talked about and more "controversial".
For two consecutive days, his name appeared on the front page headlines, which obviously evoked many people's dormant painful memories.
- Especially those former Death Eaters who managed to escape his butcher knife and avoid imprisonment through various means.
At the same time, his friends all over the world were also rejoicing, including his students at Hogwarts.
Congratulatory letters poured in like snowflakes to Hogwarts and from there to his home.
......
......
On August 8, the Weasley family returned to England after completing their trip to Egypt, and immediately invited Lynn and Euphemia, who were enjoying their last vacation in Birmingham, to visit them.
A day at the Burrow was comfortable and happy. Although this house, which looked crooked from the outside and the inside, was indeed a bit shabby and crowded, gathering together was a simple pleasure.
Especially after finalizing an important future plan.
Soon, Arthur Weasley would end his work at the Department of Magical Law Enforcement of the Ministry of Magic and move to 135A Diagon Alley - a property that Euphemia had bought at a high price a few months ago. It had an excellent location, just off the main road diagonally opposite Gringotts - to start a new and challenging chapter in his career.
This was exactly his ambition, and the generous salary was enough to improve the living standards of the entire family. Although the Weasley family's financial crisis had been basically resolved with Bill's promotion and return to London to work, no one would refuse a better life.
......
......
On August 8, Professor McGonagall sent Lynn the new year's course schedule and two unified examination transcripts by owl.
Nearly half of the OWLs candidates met his and Professor Barbour's standard of [E or above]. The pass rate of NEWTs was also quite gratifying. More than 20 young wizards, including Andrew, received the highest grade O, thus putting an end to their student days.
But this is also a happy trouble. After all, every little wizard in the advanced class requires him to put in more effort.
Unsurprisingly, his conflicted look attracted Euphemia's teasing and little Rim's innocent questions.
......
......
On August 8, after finishing his business, Lynn left home again and headed for Nurmengard Castle in the Austrian hills.
He prepared a gift that Grindelwald, whom he had just met, could not refuse.
Tips on practicing Helbo's Wrath, and a tentacle of the Thousand-Eyed Monster.
No matter how resolute and decisive this handsome self-imprisoned old man sounds, the wisdom of a legendary wizard and the platform for practicing this wisdom are irresistible temptations.
Even if he is just an ancient legend whose many concepts are a bit outdated.
He even forgot about his long-planned plan to "blackmail the greedy kid" until Lin En left with a new page of loose-leaf magic, then he slapped his thigh.
But no matter how annoyed he was, the old man who had traveled across Europe for decades still showed an expression of appreciation when he looked at the faint magical fluctuations left behind when he left.
He enjoys working with smart people and is never stingy about it.
Moreover, even a powerful person with extraordinary talent like him could not help but feel amazed when faced with the magical grimoire and loose-leaf magic - even more so if he could experience it himself.
Thinking of this, he touched the wand beside the bed - that was the one Lin En left for him before she left.
[Keep it for self-defense, in case you get killed by some cunning old man with no nose. I don't want to collect your body.]
The teasing parting words lingered in his ears for a long time, causing him to raise the corners of his mouth unconsciously.
"You are such a bad boy who can't talk properly... But you underestimate the older generation."
The tide of magic rises and falls in the desolate mountains and wilderness. At an unknown moment, a legendary wizard is on his way back to the top.
The storm caused by the flapping of the butterfly's wings is changing everything in an unstoppable manner.
Time seemed to have pressed the fast-forward button and was out of control.
Soon, the last day of the holiday arrived as scheduled.
When Harry, who stayed at the Leaky Cauldron, met two good friends whom he hadn't seen for many days, Lynn also started her last journey.
Chapter 242: Encounter at St. Mungo's
Outside the door of the Chrysler department store in London, there was still the familiar bunch of violets, and Lynn stood there as if she was familiar with the place.
Compared with previous visits, perhaps the only difference was that Euphemia was with him this time.
They walked slowly from the Instrument Accident Department on the first floor to the Spell Injury Department on the fifth floor, exchanging quiet greetings with the medical staff coming and going, until they reached the ward where the Longbottoms were.
Lady Augusta Longbottom is also here with her grandchildren to take care of them.
The magical treatment that lasted for nearly a year, especially the Igor mental healing magic that Amanda performed every half a month, made the couple's condition better and better.
Although it cannot cure their mental illness, it can ease their haggard expressions a little, and make their tortured to emaciated bodies seem a little fuller.
This made Lynn feel relieved, and also strengthened his initial guess - day by day, until Neville could cast this complicated spell himself, and use his own blood relative as a spiritual "anchor" to find his parents' souls lost in the stormy waves.
He slowly closed the door, put the violets in the vase, and held the hand of Alice who came forward following the sound.
"It's been a while, Alice. I'm your friend, Lynn." He said with some emotion, "One day you will remember me. Before that, no matter how many times, I will reintroduce myself, just like you did to me at the beginning."
"Lin... eh?"
Alice's eyes were filled with pain, mixed with confusion and chaos, and she softly repeated Lynn's name.
She seemed to remember something, but she didn't have enough rationality to support her memories, and could only wander in pain.
After a long while, she still couldn't remember anything, so she let go of her hand dejectedly, walked to her son and handed him a candy wrapper.
"Well, dear, you tried hard." Augusta said in a heavy tone, and then patted Neville on the back, "You keep it, although it's enough to stick on a wall."
"...Yeah." Neville nodded slowly.
"She will give you more and better gifts sooner or later, as long as you work hard enough, Neville." Lynn took a deep breath, calmed her rapidly beating heart, and pulled out her wand.
He stood beside Frank, who was lying motionless on the bed. "I will demonstrate this magic to you now. This magic is the direction you should strive for. Watch carefully! In the name of Igor, the green soul!"
The grandparents and grandchildren watched silently. The emerald green light band was like soft silk, tightly wrapping around the two patients and bringing them spiritual comfort.
Vivid rune symbols floated in the air, the creation of Euphemia who was concentrating.
The magic that combines the ancient and the modern, myth and reality complement each other in this small space, briefly sending the light of reason into the spiritual world of the two people.
This treatment lasted a long time, much longer than the one a year ago.
On the one hand, Lynn's own magic level has made great progress, on the other hand, it is inseparable from Euphemia's assistance.
Without the distraction of maintaining the Rune magic, he became more comfortable with it, and could carefully drive this ancient Eastern European magic from shallow to deep, gradually to the extreme.
At some point, the door of the ward opened again, and Amanda, wearing a dark green robe, stood behind them.
She placed her hand on Neville's shoulder, as he stared intently, until the stormy mental turmoil came again.
"You can come to St. Mungo's during the Christmas holidays, and I will teach you this magic." She said softly.
"...Thank you." Neville pondered for a long time, wiped his eyes hard, and nodded slightly.
He held the short and thick wand tightly in his hand. During this short but long summer vacation, this wand from Rabastan Lestrange allowed him to get rid of his worries and practice hard day and night.
Augusta looked at her grandson with satisfaction, walked quickly to Lynn and Euphemia, and handed over the handkerchief.
She had seen all the growth and progress Neville had made over the past year, just like she had seen a young Frank - and she knew exactly where that growth had come from.
It's not only about overcoming the aftereffects of the Forgetfulness Curse, but also about all-round growth from the inside out.
"We will come again when we are free. It takes patience and our joint efforts to cure Frank and Alice."
Lin En wiped the sweat off her face, "Amanda, why are you here? What's the matter?"
"An acquaintance of mine came in to apply for werewolf treatment. I was wondering if you would be interested in meeting him," she said. "He's at the triage desk on the first floor. Hippocrates told me."
Euphemia put down her handkerchief. "Remus Lupin?"
"It's probably him. I don't know any other werewolves." Lin En said bluntly, "I'll go take a look. Neville, you stay here and learn the magic from Amanda. Don't think about doing it all at once, learn it step by step."
"Okay!" Neville nodded vigorously with a stern face, "I will study hard!"
Lynn waved and strode out of the ward.
-----------------
A moment later, in the cafe on the sixth floor of the hospital.
Lupin, who was dressed simply and even looked a little poor, sat stiffly opposite Lynn.
"Eric, it's been many years since we last met..." His smile seemed a little forced.
"Yes, it's been years. Congratulations on becoming the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor for the new school year."
Compared to his nervousness and embarrassment, Lynn's attitude was calm but not cold, at least it was warmer than when facing Snape.
Among the four "Predators" back then, this class leader who was not particularly opinionated and was always led by the two leaders was one of the ones he could still tolerate.
However, with the death of three of his school friends and the imprisonment of one of them - at least in his eyes - his life fell to the bottom.
His identity as a werewolf made it difficult for him to find a decent job and to truly integrate into wizarding society everywhere - transforming into a werewolf on a full moon night was a taboo in all wizarding communities.
This was also the reason why he came to St. Mungo's to make an appointment for treatment as soon as he received the advance salary from Dumbledore.
Rather than using the expensive wolfsbane potion - or as Dumbledore said, asking Snape to brew it for him, he had a strong sense of self-esteem and would rather find other ways.
After an awkward silence and mental struggle, he looked at Lynn with a complicated gaze and said softly, "I know Amanda is your good friend. Can you help me clear up my confusion? Is this new treatment method involving you?"
"I just provided some insignificant suggestions. It was she and her colleagues who really completed the work. They are professionals in their own fields."
Lin En said calmly, "But I can guarantee that although your situation is complicated, it will definitely work. I hope we can work happily together in the next year."
"...Thank you." Lupin said dryly, and then fell into the awkward situation of having nothing to say again.
We had countless unpleasant experiences during our student days, and we had hardly ever met after graduation. It was really too much to expect him to have a smooth conversation since he was not good at speaking.
Lin En didn't have such an idea. He just took out a few thick notebooks and placed them in front of the other party.
