第682章 I Am Your Father
"Alan Harris!" Colin Creevey screamed as Alan and Luna Hermione entered the foyer through the oak doors on the first floor, the camera in his hand shaking on his chest , "He's back, he's back, Allen is back..."
The right side of the foyer leads to a double door of the auditorium. The people dining in the auditorium heard Colin's noise and left their tables in a hurry. Proud expressions, this is their professor, their classmate, the savior who can drive the mysterious person away.
"Bang... 味..." There was a huge explosion of fireworks, and everyone looked up at the top of the hall. The fireworks exploded into a row of characters: "Welcome back."
The twin brothers of the Weasley family passed through the line of words from left to right and hovered over the sky in front of Allen, and at the same time bowed to salute Allen. When they straightened up and waved their wands, "bang bang" The sound of "呲呲" kept ringing, and the entire hall was silent, but then there was a more intense cheering sound - all kinds of colorful fireworks exploded in the air, forming a variety of vivid magical creatures, in the hall Jumping around, the wizards clapped and cheered excitedly, teachers and ghosts were also in the crowd.
But there were some Slytherins who soon stopped laughing. They were members of Umbridge's investigative squad, and George and Fred flew around on broomsticks, their whoosh-boom pyrotechnics. Monsters such as fire dragons and giant pythons made by the team chased the members of the investigation team, so they ran around in a particularly embarrassing situation-although the twins deliberately avoided them, even Emily had to use them Wand didn't let himself be blown into a poodle head like Pansy Parkinson next to him with a bob hairstyle.
Soon a welcome ceremony turned into a farce, and the little lions of Gryffindor cheered and took out their pre-prepared fireworks, fake wands and other Weasley tricks, and joined this special carnival.
Infected by the atmosphere, the members of the Harris training class used their wands to spray out various flowers, birds, bubbles, stars...someone even used his patron saint...
The very short Peeves was wearing brightly colored clothes, a tie, and a top hat. His slippers had a long slit, exposing his toes. He was screaming excitedly and grinning habitually. With a wide face, wide mouth, and bright eyes, the behavior of the twin brothers at this time is particularly in line with its appetite, as if to match the actions of the twins, it is in the hands of the Hogwarts administrator Argus Faye who slipped through the net. Erqi ran around his head, and at the same time took out some prank props such as big dung eggs collected from students for a long time, and began to throw them on everyone, seeing those wizards being beaten by dung eggs because they couldn't dodge Immediately, Peeves spun upwards, quickly took off the cloche hat on top of his head, waved a circle on his head, and whistled happily.
On the contrary, the twin brothers saw Peeves' behavior and stopped chasing those embarrassing and pitiful members of the special operations team whose bodies were covered with dark green and khaki-like viscous liquid.
They rode broomsticks, spun around in front of Allen on purpose, stopped flying in front of the wall nailed with various school rules promulgated by Umbridge, glanced at each other, and slapped some crackling spherical objects To the wall and yelled loudly there: "Allen has Umbridge arrested! To hell with these things!"
The wall vibrated, and the school rules framed in glass fell to the ground one after another, breaking into pieces.
The onlookers clapped their hands desperately and applauded loudly, these things should be destroyed.
Dumbledore was busy negotiating with the Order of the Phoenix and other forces a few days after he returned to school, so he just canceled these rules before telling Filch to take them down, and the twin brothers obviously wanted to wait for Allen to come back and show him credit. , and took the opportunity to promote the prank works they developed this year and deliberately chose this opportunity to perform the last great deed before graduation,
They wanted to be part of the Hogwarts saga - anyway they had obeyed Allen's request and endured until they had passed the N.E.W.T. and would suffer nothing now that Umbridge was gone Too severe a punishment.
Filius Flitwick, head of Ravenclaw, was the first professor to rush over when he heard the movement. He barely pushed the students away and passed between their thighs, and quickly approached the twin brothers. But after seeing this scene, he turned around, pretended not to see it, and started to approach the students who had been thrown with shit, helping them clean themselves up.
"If you want to buy the swish-boom fireworks we demoed, come to 93 Diagon Alley - Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," Fred said loudly on his broom.
Amidst the stormy cheers of the students, Alan and the girls who had already retreated to the stairs took the opportunity to start to leave—otherwise it would have been a longer delay in this excited situation.
Hermione separated from them when they were on the sixth floor. She planned to go back to the dormitory in the Gryffindor Tower on the eighth floor to sort out the books for the remaining days of the course, while Alan accompanied Luna to put her luggage back In the Ravenclaw lounge on the west side of Hogwarts Castle - although it is on the eighth floor like Gryffindor's tower, the Ravenclaw stairs leading to the common room are on the sixth floor of the castle .
Throwing things on the bed casually, Luna got out of the girls' dormitory and returned to the common room. She looked left and right, then closed her eyes to check, and then said to Allen: "I'll go and see Helena."
Allen grabbed Luna, who was about to leave, and said seriously, "I'll go with you to see our daughter."
"She's hanging out in the basement." Luna nodded and opened the door to the lounge.
Alan followed behind Luna, the weather outside was different from before, the changeable weather dimmed the light, raindrops the size of bullets crackled on the windows of the castle, in the empty corridor, only Luna and Allen's footsteps.
Luna took Allen back to the first floor, and went straight through a door. Unlike the weather that was as dark as ink outside the window, the auditorium was still noisy, the lights were bright, and the salamander rushed into the air with a whoosh, spinning crazily , crackling sparks, accompanied by some loud noises. The salamander spewed orange-red stars from its mouth, which was very beautiful and spectacular. It rushed into the crowd with explosions one after another.
Allen and the others still walked towards the dungeon below the Hogwarts school. Candles were already lit in this passage, but the effect was not pleasant at all. They were all dark and thin candles , when it was burning, it shone with a blue light, and the light shone on their faces, and it looked gloomy. Every step they took, the temperature dropped, and it was cooler here than the main building of the castle.
Suddenly all the candles were extinguished by a sudden gust of wind in the supposedly windless environment. Allen strode forward, habitually keeping Luna behind him, and took up his black cloak with his left hand to protect her. inside.
From his right hand, he pulled out the ordinary wand that was going to be used as a demonstration for the students in the ancient magic class, and swung it at an alarming speed. A lightsaber composed of red magic power appeared from between the wand, illuminating the already dark environment red.
The wand buzzed because of Allen's waving movements, and as Allen reflected some projectile back, a pungent stench gradually exuded in the air.
Helga Hufflepuff gave Alan the personal experience notebook of Godric Gryffindor, Alan has read all of them, and Gryffindor once had a duel with Alan Although the trick that has been used is not very helpful to Alan now in battle, its lighting function and burning rebound ability are still quite applicable in this situation-although it is not helpful for him and Lu Na is no longer necessary, because they have gained night vision by virtue of the study of shadows.
The bird beak mask in the H94 uniform was taken out by Allen from his pocket. There was only one mask. Allen handed the bird beak mask to Luna, but Luna turned around directly, "Just in time, are you thinking about yourself and yourself?" Helena, let's talk first, she's floating not far ahead, I'll go to the kitchen to find some pudding..." As she said that, Luna stepped into the shadow cast by the lightsaber light and left.
Allen, who had been seen through his thoughts, shook his head helplessly. After all, this was completely different from the situation he wanted to escape when he saw his father-in-law. Legilimency learned...
Put the bird's beak mask on his face to isolate him from the pungent stench in the air, but I don't know if it's because it hasn't been used for too long, the magic herb in the filter layer placed in front of the bird's beak is obviously There was some blockage, which made the sound of Alan's breathing coming from the beak mask when he was breathing too heavy and loud.
Peeves jumped down from a chandelier, grinning ferociously. The current Peeves was so bold, he was inspired by the behavior of the twin brothers, and wanted to challenge the person he feared the most except the bloody Baron. And the painful lessons that Allen taught him made it unforgettable. He thought that Allen was the wizard he feared most at Hogwarts. At the same time, Alan is loved by the little wizards in the school. Peeves thinks that if he succeeds in playing tricks on Alan, the influence must be very great, and he can also overcome his fear. He deliberately chose Allen as the object of his prank.
It threw the dung eggs in its hands at Allen one by one. Alan waved his wand like a knight's long sword and collided with the stinky eggs thrown by Peeves, without making any sound, those stinky eggs were slapped back, and were caught by Alan's glowing red in mid-air The light, the scorching lightsaber melted, and the foul-smelling liquid sprayed everywhere.
"Huh... huh... Peeves, you found the wrong opponent... huh." Alan, who sounded deeper than usual because of the mask, suddenly stretched out his hand and used the mage learned from the Nether scroll in the air. With the power of his hand, he grabbed Peeves' neck, Peeves' head was thrown back, his hands grasped his neck in vain, trying to break away the invisible force.
Even if he doesn't need to breathe, as a ghost that has an entity that can touch objects and is different from other ghosts, when he has a sense of touch, he can feel pain himself.
"I...uh...I don't... dare anymore, ahem," Alan let go of his hand, and Peeves hit the wall. It struggled to get up and bowed to Alan, "Harry Professor Si, I don’t dare anymore.”
In an instant, Peeves was up in mid-air and slipping away through the wall - planning to take revenge on the Ravenclaws for this encounter.
At the other end of the cellar was a long table covered with black velvet.
Allen walked forward slowly, every step seemed to be extremely heavy, only the rhythmic breathing from the mask broke the silence here.
As he got closer, Allen recalled that he never seemed to have looked at Ms. Green in front of him, or Helena, his daughter, so seriously.
At this time, Helena was wearing a medieval court style dress, her whole body was pale and transparent. She sat on top of the long black velvet table, becoming the only light in this dark room. She lowered her head, and her long curly hair hung down her cheeks, covering half of her face, preventing Allen from seeing her expression clearly.
The sound of Alan's heavy breathing awakened Helena who was in deep thought. She raised her head and watched Alan approaching with a blank expression.
"Uh... nice to meet you, Helena." Allen said, his eyes fixed on Helena's cold face, Allen wanted to recognize each other and admit his identity, but he couldn't I don't know how to speak to the girl in front of me who has existed for a long time.
Allen pondered for a moment, and a chair flew over. He sat opposite Helena, took off his mask to reveal his same pale face, and put his hands between his legs awkwardly. ——Then he realized that even though he was taller than his peers, he was still not as tall as Helena, who had inherited Rowena's tall stature while sitting. After all, she was already a full-grown adult when she passed away.
Allen rubbed his hands on his knees, and moved his legs uneasily. As if he had made up his mind, he patted his thighs: "Helena, you have a lot of experience now, and you must know that there are many things in the world. How complicated, how profound the magic is... Oh, right, Luna should have told you that I couldn't be by your side, but I have no choice..."
Allen was a little incoherent. He wanted to tell Helena, admit his identity to her, and tell her that he regretted not being able to grow up with her...
"Uh, I want to say..." Anxious Alan stood up, seeing Helena staring blankly at his face, he organized his words, thinking about how to tell Helena, as a completely innocent As a father who had done a little bit of duty, Allen was full of guilt.
Helena sat quietly on the velvet black cloth, her eyes fixed on Allen, seemingly unmoved by Allen's behavior at this time, which made her look like she was facing everyone other than Ravenclaw. As indifferent and arrogant as a little wizard, she suddenly interrupted Alan, stretched out her incorporeal hand and held Alan's hand, "I know what you want to say, I do know about you and your mother, and I am very happy ,I am your father."
"Yes, you are my father... huh?" Allen followed Helena's words before realizing it. The hand that was originally extended in response to his daughter's handshake froze.
"Sorry, I said it was bald." Helena's face did not show any emotional ups and downs, but the change in skin color on the translucent face made Allen understand that the other party should be shy because of a mistake. Saying that, Ravenclaw's college ghost got herself up and tried to put her head in her father's arms for the first time, but due to her size, she let her calf completely sink in after discovering that there was a small problem with each other's height. Inside the floor—a long career as a ghost has made her more used to using ghostly ways and forgetting to think of kneeling first like a living person.
"I am your father." Allen's deep voice seemed a little muffled, his left hand was stroking his daughter Helena in his arms, and his fingers ran through the translucent hair-although he did not witness the other party's growth, birth and death , but for the first time, Allen felt like a father, and truly realized that the female ghost in front of him was his daughter, and a guilt of failing the other party emerged from the depths of his heart.
