I swung a sword at Hogwarts

Ariana looked down, feeling down.

Because of death, this ignorant girl gradually got better and was no longer ignorant of the outside world.

John noticed her emotions and sighed, "I'm not abandoning you, Ariana."

Ariana looked up with joy, and John looked at his confused parents.

Even if he adopted her, John didn't want Dumbledore to take care of Ariana.

Whether it is future development or distrust of Dumbledore.

To be mercenary, even Grindelwald would want to win over the help that the Obscurials could bring.

It would be of no benefit to John to place such a force next to Dumbledore, who was already his imaginary enemy.

John thought about it again and again and decided to respect Ariana's idea.

He asked Ariana seriously: "Are you really willing to be our family?"

He didn't act rashly like his parents, but listened to Ariana's advice.

Ariana looked up, her lips moving a few times.

A soft and gentle voice sounded.

"elder brother."

John saw his parents covering their hearts exaggeratedly, and he smiled gently, "You have made a choice, and you must be prepared."

He reached out and placed his hands on Ariana's soft hair.

"As a sister, but also as a daughter."

Watson finally understood that after saying so much, this guy actually accepted his adoption of this adopted daughter.

Thinking of this, Watson tilted his head in admiration for his clever move.

But it made him too proud.

John stroked his chin in thought.

Ariana is already showing signs of recovery, which is good news.

He said thoughtfully, "It's time for you to learn to control the power of the Obscurus."

As a perfect Obscurial, John is different from other Obscurials in that his consciousness dominates above the Obscurus.

To put it bluntly, silence is a dark force that can corrode people.

John was able to control this power and directly digest the dark consciousness that existed in it.

In addition to his strong willpower, he has also experienced many magical outbursts and soul potion tempering, which made his spirit terrifyingly strong.

Silent people are usually born among emotionally sensitive people, and suffering is the paradise for silence to grow.

Adopting Ariana was the right decision, and her own parents would give Ariana a different childhood.

No one understood this better than John.

John also has a way to deal with the power of Obscurus.

He has props that can lift people's spirits.

Ravenclaw's Diadem, Golden Mask of Wisdom.

Both of these things allow Ariana to suppress the Obscurus's consciousness.

Thinking of this, he decided to improve his spirits first.

"As a gift for being my sister, I think I know what to get."

John smiled slightly and took out the luxurious crown.

The crown kept shrinking and finally turned into a beautiful bracelet.

"You will always recover. Your health is my gift to you."

Putting the bracelet on Ariana's wrist, Ariana felt something different, yet nothing seemed to have changed.

John didn't notice that his father looked thoughtful when he heard the word "gift".

Watson and Mrs. Wick exchanged glances, and the couple understood each other tacitly.

John was going to make some soul potions. The reason why he boldly used his own soul as a sacrifice to refine the Horcrux was because he could heal himself again.

It can be said that as long as he wants, he can continue to split his soul.

John could even heal Nagini's broken soul, not to mention himself.

Ariana also needs the support of soul potion.

After being depressed for several months in the past due to lack of money, John decided to go on a revenge shopping spree when he returned to his own time.

"We still have to go to Silver Hand Manor. The Dementor breeding farm should yield a lot of rewards."

John has already achieved fully automated harvesting of Dementors, and he also knows that draining the pond to catch fish is not a good idea.

Therefore, the frequency of harvesting Dementors is reduced, and sometimes a blind dark wizard is sent to replenish the Dementors.

It's delicious.

When John returned from Silver Hand Manor, he discovered something big.

Ariana was gone.

John was no longer anxious after glancing at his missing parents and Tom.

Sure enough, until night came.

He heard the sound of cars parking outside, followed by laughter.

John saw Watson carrying large and small bags of things out of the car, including a huge stuffed bear.

Ariana held the little bear in her arms, staring at the stuffed bear without blinking.

The excited couple seemed to buy a little too much, so they went to the department store.

If the Ministry of Magic knew that an Obscurial had just run into a department store where Muggles gathered, they would probably be scared to death.

John felt the joy coming from Ariana and smiled.

...

Chapter 565: Silver Hand Branch, Showing Good Will

Having multiple sisters didn't have much of an impact on John.

It's not like he didn't do anything during these three days.

In addition to repairing a cabinet, letters also had to be opened one by one.

"France?"

John stared at the letter from the French Minister of Magic.

His original plan was to open a branch in France. If he hadn't been schemed by that bastard Death, he would have already opened the branch.

However, traveling during this time is not entirely without benefits.

His hair turned black again, and his eyesight was restored.

"What exactly is that dimension?"

John stroked his chin, recalling the dark dimension.

That place is simply my own paradise.

However, crossing dimensions is something that others may not encounter even once in their lifetime, so John could only feel regretful.

At that time, he was threatened by the white wolf, which was a world-destroying disaster.

Not to mention John, even the demon hunter world can't bear it.

"Charles Roland, since he has invited me sincerely, I should accept his kindness."

John rubbed the ring on his fingers. The French Ministry of Magic had made an invitation, so there must be some concessions.

"It seems that Delacour and some other people have made great efforts in this matter. I should return the favor."

Charles Roland, the Minister of Magic who is about to step down, naturally does not have such great ability alone. The Delacour family and Madame Maxime are secretly helping him.

Delacour was doomed to be on a ship because of John's relationship with them.

Madame Maxime, besides the fact that John had studied there, more importantly, he was a disciple of Nicolas Flamel.

Speaking of orthodoxy, John is a disciple of a legendary French alchemist, so he can be considered half of the orthodox French magic.

"The situation in America is stable, and next we will start to develop our influence in Europe."

John opened the other envelopes thoughtfully.

"In Germany, Ludwig is willing to provide assistance and negotiate with the Ministry of Magic."

"That's also the most troublesome one. Grindelwald's main forces are entrenched there."

The road must be taken step by step, and John plans to start with France.

"Isn't it time for Heinrich and Kim to start heading to France?"

John thought about letting Heinrich go back to school. Now that everyone in Durmstrang is named Edgar, this request is a piece of cake.

But Heinrich was not willing to go back to school. With his magical attainments, he could have graduated from school long ago.

Then we can only let him do as he pleases.

John also trained the two dropouts in going to France to open a branch.

Not to mention Heinrich, he was John's deputy.

Jin was naturally gifted at these things and had handled all sorts of matters at the American branch.

John's arrangement was to let Jin be in charge of silver shops in various countries in the future.

If the trip to France is established, Kim will stay there for a while.

Like America, John plans to place his people in various places.

Closing the letter from France, John muttered to himself, "Since Minister Roland is interested in cooperating, I don't mind letting others see the benefits of working with me."

He picked up the quill and wrote on the parchment.

After handing the written invitation to Riddle, John took out some dried fish and fed it to him, saying, "Give it to Charles Roland. If there is anyone who is blind, you can peck him."

Riddle nodded.

When Basil heard that he could peck people, his eyes lit up and he walked over with his head held high.

"Forget about you. Last time you beat up the owl at old Barty's house, I reimbursed the medical expenses."

John poked Basil's head wordlessly.

I don't know who this owl inherited his domineering personality from.

Basil slapped John's hand away with his wings in annoyance, turned around and saw Kiki secretly opening the drawer, preparing to steal the dried fish.

Qiqi's body stiffened.

Oops, is it heartbeat?

No, it's a myocardial infarction.

The owl's feathers flew everywhere, and John turned his head away, pretending he saw nothing.

Basil grabbed Kiki's throat with one claw and pinned him down on the table.

Basil stepped on Kiki with great dominance.

The wings hit the big head again and again, making Qiqi see stars.

After Tom, the second unlucky guy who was bullied by Basil appeared.

In response, Tom said, that has nothing to do with me.

At this moment, Tom was lying on the floor, and Ariana, who had changed into girl's casual clothes, tentatively touched his belly with her finger.
