Chapter 305 Christmas and the Hidden History

The day before Christmas, Andy sent out the gifts he had prepared by owl. Except for the photo that Harry wanted, which was a little troublesome, the other gifts were things that could be bought with money.

The main highlight was four words, rich and willful!

On Christmas Day, Andy's family had a lively dinner.

Except that his aunt Aishia Collins had a new boyfriend, there was no other change in Andy's family. Oh, there was another change, that is, Andy became a rich man.

Having sent out many gifts, Andy naturally received many gifts.

After sorting out the snacks and checking that there was no love potion, Andy packed the snacks and threw them to Isabel.

The little girl was already crazy with joy.

Among all the gifts, only Hermione's gift was the most thoughtful. It was a collection of European legends, which recorded many legends circulated in the Muggle world.

Some legends can match the legends of the magic world, and Hermione marked these stories with a red pen. The magic mentioned in the book was marked with a yellow pen.

This saved Andy a lot of reading time.

Hermione knew Andy very well. Andy was indeed very curious about these legends, but because these legends had nothing to do with magic, Andy had been too lazy to read them.

With this book, Andy could fully understand the overlap between the magic world and the Muggle world.

For example, Merlin.

Merlin was just a character in folk tales in the Muggle world, but in the magic world, he really existed.

So what about the Kingdom of Camelot mentioned in the story?

Even in the magic world, these records were vague.

There was a name, but no address, and there was a story, but no specific timeline.

So much so that even Slytherin wizards claimed that Merlin was a wizard who graduated from Slytherin College.

Isn't this nonsense!

In the legend of the Muggle world, Merlin lived in the era of King Arthur around the fifth century, while Hogwarts was founded around the tenth century.

There is a difference of more than five hundred years in between!

This confusing timeline and ambiguous recording method made Andy feel that part of the history of the magic world was likely to be covered up artificially.

Including the history of magic that Andy learned at Hogwarts.

Those histories seem normal, but if you look at them in conjunction with those legends, you will find that the so-called history of magic is actually lacking.

Muggles regard wizards and magic as legends.

So what do wizards regard as legends?

Obviously, things that can be regarded as legends by wizards must be related to gods.

Especially the story of the Grim Reaper and the three brothers.

When Andy was a child, Helen told Andy this story.

But in Helen's cognition, the Grim Reaper does not exist, it is just a bedtime story. And the Deathly Hallows mentioned in the story are even more illusory legends.

Helen told Andy that those were all fake!

Although Andy had only seen the first movie of "Harry Potter" in his previous life, he still had some impression of the names of the other parts of this novel.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

The original author has clearly told Andy that the Deathly Hallows are real, and the three brothers are real.

What about the Death? Does He exist?

It's a very interesting point.

Muggles regard wizards and magic as legends, but wizards, who are legends themselves, do not believe in their own legends.

"Maybe God is real too!" Andy guessed.

Just as wizards avoid Muggles, maybe God is also avoiding wizards.

It is recorded in the history of magic that many years ago, wizards did not avoid Muggles like they do now, and they could live with Muggles.

It was not until the Muggles united to persecute witches that the relationship between wizards and Muggles gradually became tense.

Since then, wizards and magic have become legends in the Muggle world.

So Andy has reason to guess that in the history of the magic world, gods have also come into contact with wizards and left those legendary stories.

For example: the story of the Death and the three brothers.

On Christmas Eve, Andy roughly read the book sent by Hermione.

There are many places where the legends of the wizarding world and the Muggle world overlap. Although there are some differences in the records, they are generally similar.

The most famous is the story of Merlin.

Andy leaned on the bed and thought to himself: "If you want to investigate the truth of the gods, the most appropriate starting point is actually the Deathly Hallows."

Because the Deathly Hallows appeared in the original book.

The invisibility cloak in Harry's hand is very likely the invisibility cloak in the Deathly Hallows.

As long as Andy follows the clues, it may not be impossible to find the Resurrection Stone and the Elder Wand.

In the story of the three brothers, it is also mentioned that as long as you collect the three Deathly Hallows, you can become the master of the Death.

Andy sneered at this.

It can be seen from the story that the three Deathly Hallows are just things made by the Death.

No, that's not right!

The Elder Wand is a branch that the Death broke casually, and the Resurrection Stone is a stone on the shore, but the Invisibility Cloak... is Death's own thing.

Invisibility Cloak...

Andy raised his eyebrows, "After school starts, I can borrow it from Harry to study it."

After closing the book and putting it on the bedside table, Andy rubbed his temples with a headache. Sometimes Andy really felt that time was not enough, and there were too many things he wanted to learn and understand.

But Andy was too busy to do it.

"Good night!"

After saying good night to the fat cat patronus, Andy cast off the patronus charm, emptied his mind and went to sleep.

...

After Christmas, Andy only had one thing left to do.

Welcome Hermione's arrival.

But that was a week later. Even if Hermione came, she had to wait until after New Year's Day.

In the past two days, Andy and Hermione exchanged several letters, mainly talking about legends.

Compared with Andy, who often let his thoughts fly, Hermione was more pragmatic. The little witch was skeptical about the legends, but she was very enthusiastic about investigating.

Andy sent Hermione a copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" and told her that the story of the three death brothers was very likely true, and the Deathly Hallows had also appeared in the history of the wizarding world.

The little witch really showed great motivation.

With the help of the tool man to investigate, Andy can finally focus all his energy on practicing magic.

As time goes by, Andy becomes more and more proficient in the use of Apparition.

Thanks to his strong magic talent, the day before Hermione arrived, Andy could use magic to hit the target in the instant after Apparition.

The next step of practice is to repeat this process continuously.
