"You...you eat so elegantly. "
"…"
Audrey's brain was spinning like smoke, and then several figures suddenly trotted over: "Audrey!!"
Running in the front was our smart Gryffindor girl Hermione, followed by two followers Harry and Ron, and a little chubby boy: "Audrey, you're back! When I saw you from a distance just now, I thought I had recognized you by mistake!"
"Hello, Hermione, Harry, Ron, Neville, how have you been these days?"
"Excellent!"
Hermione smiled and said, "Harry and Ron are pretty good too."
Ron muttered, "Come on, ever since Fred and George made money from selling the improved dung bombs last time, they have been improving and inventing all kinds of prank props, but they always look for me when they do experiments!"
Hermione glanced at him. "Why do I remember that you wanted to earn some pocket money so that they could use you for experiments?"
"You remembered it wrong!"
The chubby Neville stepped forward timidly and said gratefully, "Ms. Audrey, I...I'm here to thank you on behalf of my parents and grandma. During the time you were away, my parents' condition has been getting better and better. The doctor said that if they continue like this, they will be able to recover and be discharged from the hospital in at most half a year."
Audrey immediately said happily, "Ah! That's great."
"Thank you! Grandma wants to invite you to dinner at home."
"Okay! I'll ask Edward when he comes back."
"Well, I'll go back first."
Neville blushed slightly, waved his hand and walked away quickly.
Audrey smiled and looked at Harry and said, "Harry, I watched the semi-finals today. You performed very well."
Harry suddenly looked around nervously and shyly, and said awkwardly, "Let's not talk about this. Professor Snape warned me several times and asked me to forget about it. I asked him why, and he punished me to clean the toilet for a month."
At this point, he looked a little more aggrieved: "I slept like usual yesterday, and when I woke up, I was tied up in the Forbidden Forest and guarded by a group of centaurs. I knew nothing..."
Because... Professor Snape loves your mother deeply. In a sense, no matter how much he hates you, the son of his love rival, it does not affect his respect for you.
Although Audrey thought so in her heart, she did not say it out loud. She just smiled and said, "When you grow up, you will know, but I can guarantee that... you are really Professor Snape's treasure."
Ron immediately vomited: "Oh my God, this is really... disgusting bad news._4?3~ka′n_s_h!u′._c\o¨m^"
Harry scratched his head, a little confused, then looked around and asked, "Where's Edward? He doesn't seem to be with Hufflepuff, nor with you."
"Oh, he's gone to do something important."
Audrey's mood became more gloomy when she mentioned this: How is Edward doing now? Why hasn't he come back yet? She quickly shook off her worries and introduced them, "By the way, these two are..."
Just as she said this, she suddenly found herself as if she had lost her voice. She couldn't utter any words in her throat, as if someone had suddenly deprived her of the ability to speak.
Looking at Harry and the other two, they were all looking at her in confusion. Hermione asked, "What do you mean two?"
"???"
Audrey was stunned and looked in the direction they were looking—Lilith and the goddess were clearly there…
Could it be that Hermione and the others can't see the existence of Lilith and the Goddess of Night?
Just as I was wondering, I heard the goddess of night say calmly: "Don't worry about it, just pretend we don't exist."
His words actually made Audrey feel more relaxed, and she immediately changed the subject and started chatting and laughing with Hermione and the others.
The goddess of night stuffed a small piece of golden fried potato into her mouth, chewed it for a few seconds and said, "Even if the elves at Hogwarts make fried potatoes, they still don't taste good."
He put down his knife and fork, picked up the napkin to wipe his mouth, then cast his gaze at Lilith who was in a daze. His eyes flashed and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised slightly: You don't look like you are worried about Edward, have you discovered something?
Chapter 697 Voldemort Returns
Audrey was enthusiastically telling Hermione and the others about the wonderful experiences during this period. She tried her best to describe those magical adventures in a way that everyone could understand. Her vivid description made Hermione and the others feel as if they were there. At this moment, a huge shadow suddenly enveloped the group.
They were all startled, and subconsciously looked up, only to see a boy about two meters tall standing in front of them. He was wearing the uniform of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and his stature was so tall that he almost blocked out the light above their heads.
"Oh, you are the famous savior Harry Potter, right?" The big man looked at Harry with joy on his face. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and tried to lift up Harry's hair. "I heard that you were hit by Voldemort... Oh, by the way, you all call him the You-Know-Who. You were hit by his Killing Curse, but only a lightning scar was left."
This almost rude action made Harry instinctively step back, trying to avoid the other person's hand. But the big man seemed to have predicted it, and quickly patted Harry's shoulder with his other hand, making him unable to move, and then lifted Harry's bangs like petting a dog, "Ha, there really is a lightning scar!"
Hermione immediately rushed forward like a protective mother, shouting, "Hey, big guy! Didn't your school teach you what politeness is?"
The big guy looked surprised and said, "I just want to express my respect to Mr. Savior."
After saying that, he ignored Hermione and turned his gaze to Audrey. His face was instantly filled with exaggerated expressions. "Oh, God! I swear, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life. Even a veela would pale in comparison to you. I didn't even notice you during this time. I am so stupid."
He extended his hand to Audrey. "Can I meet you? I'm Doyle Hansen from Ilvermorny in the United States. Our school is the orthodox magic school of Salazar Slytherin. I believe you might be interested in transferring to us?"
When several Slytherin students nearby heard this, they shouted angrily, "Asshole, what are you talking about?"
The big guy just glanced at them calmly and said contemptuously: "Sorry, I didn't talk to you."
Audrey looked indifferent and responded politely: "Sorry, I'm not interested."
"Hey, don't be such a pity. Didn't your Professor Dumbledore also say that he hopes that our four major colleges can get along well and make more friends during this period of time?" As he said this, he actually leaned over and grabbed Audrey's hand, trying to force a handshake.
Lilith, who was originally in a daze, suddenly had cold eyes and was about to teach this rude guy a lesson. At this moment, two red-haired figures suddenly jumped out from the left and right sides of the big guy. One of them held one of his arms and said with a smile: "Hey, big guy, if you want to make friends, come to us."
"That's right! Everyone knows that we Weasley brothers are the most fond of making friends at Hogwarts."
"We just happened to have invented some fun new things that we can share with you."
"I believe you will not refuse."
The smile on the big guy's face disappeared instantly, and he impatiently shook off the twins' hands and said, "Stay away from me."
"Okay." The Weasley brothers let go at the same time and stepped back several meters, but their faces were still filled with smiles. "I hope you will like our gift."
"What?"
The big guy was stunned for a moment, and then he felt an unbearable itch all over his body. He started scratching uncontrollably, laughing as he scratched, and his laughter became louder and more exaggerated.
Soon, most people in the restaurant were attracted by the big guy who was sitting on the ground, laughing, taking off his clothes and scratching himself, and they all pointed at him.
The headmaster of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the teaching area saw this scene, his face darkened instantly, and he was about to stand up immediately. However, Dumbledore smiled softly and said, "Let the children solve their own problems. I believe they can handle it well."
"Albus, your students are taking it too far!"
Snape said coldly, "I don't think that's any more than a man harassing a lady."
"…"
"Hahahahahaha!" The big guy continued laughing, and after a long time, even his breathing became rapid, but he couldn't control himself at all. He was still scratching himself frantically and laughing until tears came out.
Not far away, the students of Ilvermorny noticed the movement here, exchanged glances with the professors, and rushed over aggressively. Seeing this, the Slytherin students were not willing to show weakness and immediately stood up to greet them.
Soon, the Gryffindor students who had been paying close attention to this place stood up and walked over, followed by the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students.
Seeing that this group of energetic young children were about to start a big fight, Professor McGonagall hurried over with a brisk pace and shouted loudly: "Everyone, go back to your positions! Now, right now!"
"Swish!" The students from Hogwarts glared at the people from Ilvermorny and then obediently went back. The students from Ilvermorny hesitated until their headmaster yelled "Go back!" and then they took the big man who had been freed from the magic and returned to normal back to their own area.
Thus, a "war" that was about to break out was calmed down.
Hermione patted her chest lightly and said with lingering fear: "I was scared to death, I...I thought there was going to be a real fight just now! Those Americans are so hateful!"
Ron's legs also went weak, but he still said smugly, "Hey, when it comes to this kind of thing, our Weasley family is still reliable! Don't you think so, Harry..." His eyes suddenly widened, his face full of astonishment, "Harry...what are you holding in your hand?"
Harry Potter quickly put back the half-pulled pistol, shook his head and said, "What? There's nothing." - His lying with his eyes open made Ron so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth and couldn't speak for a while.
Audrey raised her juice to thank everyone, then sat down again amid a burst of excited laughter, and whispered, "That big guy just now seemed to be sent by someone to deliberately cause trouble."
Lilith nodded and said, "Yes, it was a golden-haired man over there who did this."
"But... why?" Audrey looked confused. "This is clearly the first time I've met a student from Ilvermorny."
Lilith snorted and said, "We'll know soon enough."
...
Two hours later, dinner was over and everyone returned to their dormitories in the college.
As soon as Audrey walked out of the restaurant door, she was stopped by Snape. Snape motioned for her to follow him and walked to a quiet place.
"Where's Edward?" Snape's eyes revealed anxiety, "Didn't he come back with you?"
Audrey shook her head. "He's back too, but he left temporarily for something. Professor, what do you want to talk to him about?"
"Well, my corpse collector potion has been completely digested. I need the next sequence of potions." His tone returned to his usual cold tone. "When can he come back?"
"This... should be quick." Audrey said with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
"Okay." Snape took out a small leather bag from his arms. "Inside are herbs and brewed potions worth about 2,000 Galleons. They are used to pay for the Sequence 8 potion."
Audrey stepped back quickly: "Ah, just wait for Edward to come back and give it to him..."
Snape stuffed the things directly into Audrey's hands: "It's all the same." After that, he threw his robes and walked away quickly like a big bat.
Audrey looked at the leather bag in her hand, feeling helpless.
The Night Goddess said with a little surprise: "Snape chose the Path of Death? I thought he would choose the Path of the Moon."
Lilith curled her lips and said, "Because he wants to find Harry's mother's soul after he is promoted to Sequence 5, and then..."
The Night Goddess was stunned for a moment: "That's... a strange idea."
"Hey, Amanesis, why hasn't Edward come back yet?" Lilith asked with a frown.
"Why do you think I would know? You are the 'natives' of this world, aren't you? I'm just a traveler, just following you to see the world."
Lilith snorted: "I don't believe you!"
The Night Goddess smiled slightly: "If you are so worried about him, why didn't you go with him at that time?"
Lilith puffed up her cheeks and said loudly, "Of course I have to stay and watch over you. Otherwise, who knows what you'll have done to this place when we come back?!"
"Heh." The Night Goddess chuckled and did not refute.
Ta, da, da!
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded. Snape, who had just left, ran over with one hand covering his wrist, his face solemn, "Come on, come with me to see Dumbledore!"
Audrey asked in surprise, "What's wrong, Professor?"
Snape rolled up his sleeves, revealing the faintly glowing Death Eater mark, and gritted his teeth and said, "Voldemort is back!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely angry voice rang out: "Snape! You really betrayed me a long time ago! You really betrayed me a long time ago!!"
A cloud of black smoke flew in like lightning, and quickly transformed into a translucent figure of Voldemort in midair. He held a strange magic wand in his hand and shouted angrily: "Avada Kedavra!!"
The emerald green spell shot straight at Snape like a sharp arrow. Snape dodged it and then released spells to fight back, shouting, "I'll stop him, you go find Dumbledore!"
"Don't even think about leaving!" Voldemort roared angrily, "Tell me! What did Slytherin leave in the pendant!"
"Avada Kedavra!" Snape cast a killing curse and hit Voldemort. But Voldemort just shook his body slightly, and then laughed angrily: "Very good, very good, Snape, you dare to use the killing curse on your great master. Unfortunately, I am no longer the same after visiting the abode of the gods. Magic can never hurt me again!!!"
The goddess of night said calmly, "He has become an evil spirit... an evil spirit like Medici."
Audrey's eyes instantly turned golden, accompanied by a faint dragon roar. Voldemort, who was laughing triumphantly a second ago, instantly fell into frenzy and ran around like a mad dog.
Chapter 698 Voldemort is finished
However, Voldemort quickly got rid of his frenzy. He stared at Audrey with a calm expression: "I knew it! I knew that Slytherin's pendant must contain deeper secrets of the abode of the gods. Tell me, or I will kill everyone in Hogwarts!!!"
Audrey's expression suddenly changed, and she immediately turned her gaze towards Lilith.
At this moment, a chuckle was heard: "Oh, you want to kill everyone? That includes me." A blond boy wearing an Ilvermorny wizard robe slowly walked over. "Tsk, is this the Voldemort that has frightened the British wizarding world for so many years? He looks really... ugly and miserable."
"It seems that the wizarding world in Britain is much worse than before."
Snape immediately shouted, "Don't come over here, run away!"
"Avada Kedavra!" Voldemort threw another killing curse. But the blond boy did not move at all, letting the killing curse hit him. A layer of golden translucent armor appeared on his body, blocking the power of the curse.
"You..." Voldemort looked at him in shock.
The boy grinned and said, "What a coincidence. Magic can hardly hurt me now." He suddenly leaned back and opened his arms as if he was embracing the sun. The next second, a magnificent and pure blazing beam of light descended from the sky and accurately hit Voldemort who was trying to dodge.
A sharp scream was heard, and Voldemort in his evil spirit state was quickly purified by the light column. A few seconds later, he completely disappeared from the world - Voldemort died, but he did not die at the hands of the savior as predicted, but at the hands of an unknown student from the United States.
Snape was stunned. Although he had long thought that in the face of Edward's magical potion ability, Voldemort's threat was no longer as great as before, he never expected that he would die so hastily, like a stray dog on the roadside that no one cared about, being kicked to death by a passerby at random.
What was even more confusing to him was why the students of Ilvermorny could also use such magical abilities?
Audrey's green eyes trembled slightly: "Is this... the ability of the Sun Path?"
The blond boy looked over and said, "Okay, the irrelevant people have been dealt with, let's continue the previous topic." He stretched out his hand, "Where is Slytherin's pendant?"
Snape immediately stood in front of Audrey and said, "Mr. Andrew, I'm glad you can help us get rid of Voldemort. If you have anything to discuss, why not go and talk to the headmasters."
"Faint!" The next second, Snape was hit by a spell, flew backwards, and fainted on the ground. Almost at the same time, Susie, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly jumped out, using [Frenzy] and pounced on the boy.
The blond boy named Andrew was "crazy" for less than half a second, then he dodged to the side and kicked Susie, making her scream and fall heavily to the ground.
Audrey exclaimed, "Susie!" - She was extremely confused, why were Lilith and the others still watching the show?
Andrew had a smile on his face, but his eyes showed a bit of superiority: "Don't worry, I don't want to steal your things. In fact, if no one insisted on me coming, I would still be staying comfortably in the United States."
"I just want to erase all traces of Slytherin and completely cut off any information about the 'Abode of the Gods'."
Audrey asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Oh, because someone told me that once the door to the abode of the gods is opened, it is equivalent to opening Pandora's box. By then... wizards will no longer be the only ones who can master extraordinary powers, and any ordinary person can ride on the head of a wizard at will." Andrew sneered, "In fact, I am not interested in the other things he said, but... for me, the fewer people in this world who have this special ability, the better... it would be best if I was the only one!"
Audrey took a deep breath and said, "When I got the Slytherin locket, Voldemort burned it with Fiendfyre. It's really not with me."
The boy spread his hands. "Then how did you master this ability?"
"Oh, whatever."
Andrew suddenly took out a golden sun badge from his pocket and said, "After today, you will become a fool who only knows how to sing praises to the sun. It doesn't matter."
After saying that, he casually threw out the golden sun badge, which was activated the moment it left his hand, transforming into a dazzling beam of light that shot towards Audrey.
Audrey immediately stepped back and used [Frenzy] continuously while waving her wand to release the Patronus Charm. In an instant, a giant silver-white dragon Patronus emerged from her dragon bone wand and rushed towards the golden light.
The silver and golden lights collided and dissipated at the moment of contact. However, the dragon guardian spirit dissipated at a significantly faster speed. ,墈′书?君, /Um? Wrong? Content+Just when the golden light was about to devour the guardian spirit and endanger Audrey, everything disappeared without warning.
"!!!" The smile on Andrew's face froze instantly and was replaced by shock. He had no idea what was going on.
The next second, the whole world seemed to shatter like glass and began to fall apart.
After a brief trance, everyone slowly opened their eyes, and the scene before them shocked them.
Snape was not unconscious. He was still standing there, covering his wrist with his hand, his face full of anxiety.
Voldemort was not dead either, and was floating in the air with a dazed look on his face.
Andrew was holding a black-covered notebook in his hand, his eyes were dull, as if he had lost his soul.
Audrey was lying on the sofa that appeared out of nowhere, Susie was lying at her feet, and Lilith was leaning on the side of the sofa with her arms folded.
Everything that just happened... was just a dream.
Andrew woke up from a dream, and was extremely shocked when he saw the two children suddenly appearing in front of him. The memory of the dream just now flashed through his mind quickly, and he couldn't distinguish between reality and illusion for a while - suddenly, the notebook in his hand shook slightly, as if trying to escape his control.
At this time, the goddess of night stretched out her hand, and saw Voldemort's evil spirit spinning rapidly, then turned into a ball of translucent energy, which she held and put into a tin box. Then, she threw the box to Audrey and said, "It's up to you whether to give it to Dumbledore or Harry Potter."
Then, He lightly tapped the notebook in Andrew's hand. The notebook stopped shaking instantly, and a translucent figure slowly rose from the notebook: it was an old man with a sparse beard on his chin and a frail, monkey-like face.
Audrey recognized this person immediately: it was Salazar Slytherin whom she had seen in the dream world last time!
At this moment, Slytherin looked at the Goddess of Night with horror on his face and stammered, "You...you..."
The goddess of night looked indifferent and asked, "Have you been to the 'abode of the gods'? What did you see there? Did you see the gods?"
Slytherin became more and more terrified, his voice trembling: "You...how could you...you..."
The next moment, without any warning, Slytherin's remaining soul disappeared without a trace, as if it had been erased by an eraser.
"…"
The pupils of the Goddess of Night fluctuated slightly. This was the first time she encountered such a situation after being promoted to a god: right under her nose, someone actually used the authority she held to hide the person she wanted to question - although the consciousness in Priscilla was far inferior to her original body, it still made her feel incredible that such a thing happened.
Audrey belatedly asked, "Slytherin...why did he disappear?"
Lilith frowned and looked at the goddess of night: "It wasn't you who did it, Amanesis?"
The Night Goddess shook her head.
"But isn't this a hidden power of authority?"
The Goddess of Night said calmly, "Don't forget, there may be others here who can use the secret authority."
Lilith was surprised and said, "The River of Eternal Darkness?!"
Snape, who had been standing nearby in shock, had his pupils shrink sharply: "Just now...what on earth happened? The two of them..."
Before he could finish his question, the two girls disappeared before his eyes. Snape's train of thought was interrupted, and then he suddenly lost a piece of memory out of thin air, and fell into confusion: "... Did I forget something?"
As for Andrew, he had already knelt on the ground without knowing when, his expression became fiery and crazy, and he shouted to the sky: "Hail you, the sun! Please stop and listen to me, I pray to you, ecstatic, at this moment, my heart is as blazing as yours... sing praises to your sacred power..."
"Oh! the sun! my sun!"
As he shouted, cracks appeared on the surface of his skin. Golden light seeped out of the cracks. He seemed to be turning into a human-shaped fireball, and the temperature around him was rising rapidly.
As he shouted, cracks appeared on his skin that glowed with golden light, and he was about to turn into a human-shaped fireball. The temperature around him rose rapidly.
Audrey asked horrified, "What happened to him?"
Lilith raised an eyebrow: "He turned into a madman who only knew how to sing praises to the sun, and then he lost control."
She waved her hand gently, and a mirror formed under Andrew's feet. She threw him, who had already turned into a fireball, into it. Then she clapped her hands, looked at the goddess of night and asked, "Amanisis, what is going on?"
The Night Goddess said calmly, "Isn't it obvious? Some people don't want us to know some information from them."
Lilith's expression suddenly became gloomy: "Is it the person who created this world?"
"What news is He trying to hide?"
"If we can't know this information, if that person can eliminate these two people at any time, how can they have the opportunity to approach us?"
She scratched her hair, becoming more and more anxious: "He won't do anything bad to Edward, right?"
...
The train glided silently on the dark water, and the mist outside the window condensed into fine water droplets on the glass surface. Edward looked at the "Lord of Mysteries" emerging in the right hand of the ticket inspector who called himself "the Creator". The gray mist flowing between the pages and the golden light of "Harry Potter" in his left hand intertwined into a spiral.
"You mean..." Edward's Adam's apple rolled, and his fingertips unconsciously stroked the lines on the armrest of the seat, "These two worlds are..."
"Just a joke." The ticket collector suddenly clasped his hands together, and the two illusory books turned into light dust and dissipated. Before Edward could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Him say again: "In fact, I don't know if the world of the Lord of Mysteries was created by me."
"???"
"He" held his chin and sighed, "It's different from when I consciously used the Sea of Chaos and the River of Everlasting Darkness to create the Harry Potter world, gradually turning it from an illusory world in a book into a real world…"
"I originally wrote "Lord of the Mysteries" just to make money by copying books."
Chapter 699 High Five
Edward was stunned, not quite understanding what He meant: "What?"
"This is a very long story."
He looked out the window at the boundless water outside and continued, "Just as you guessed, I am a time traveler. I first traveled to Harry Potter, and then inexplicably came to Lord of Mysteries."
Edward's heartbeat skipped a beat.
"Hahaha, does this sound a bit like déjà vu? Yes, it's not much different from you." "He" said with a smile, "But now you know that you have actually been in the world of the Lord of Mysteries from beginning to end, and have never been to the real Harry Potter."
"When I traveled to the world of Harry Potter, I was already seventeen years old, and had long passed the age to attend magic school. If I hadn't lived in the same neighborhood as Hermione, I would probably have thought until my death that it was just an ordinary Britain in the 1990s."
"So I was naturally unwilling to accept it. Coming to Harry Potter and not learning magic is like going to Naruto and not learning ninjutsu, or going to One Piece and not learning Haki. So I used my knowledge of the original works and waited at the entrance of Diagon Alley for a long time. Finally, I met a wizard, closed my eyes and followed him into the Leaky Cauldron."
"Then my cheat arrived... Actually, it's not really a cheat, it's just that my magic power suddenly awakened, and I have the possibility to learn magic. But as I said just now, I missed the age to enter the magic school. If I want to learn magic, I can only rely on myself."
"The first step is to get enough wizard currency to buy books, wands and other things. Just when I was racking my brains to figure out how to make money, I saw Gilderoy Lockhart at a book signing event, and it suddenly occurred to me to copy books. Perhaps it was because of the awakening of magic that my memory became particularly good."
He held his chin up and smiled pitifully, "Forgive me for being an ordinary college student before I traveled through time. Apart from reading too many books, I really can't think of other ways to make money."
"Then I skipped the processes in between. My book became a bit popular and I soon earned enough Galleons. After that, the process of self-studying magic went smoothly. After one year of study, I had magical skills that were stronger than most Aurors."
"At this time, I started to become lazy. After all, I learned magic just to gain magical powers. I don't have any ambitions. Instead of getting involved in the game between Dumbledore and Voldemort, I might as well make more money and lie down. Then I can wait for the times to develop to the time before I traveled through time, and then I can watch videos, watch TV series, and play games in different places every day."
"Of course, when I occasionally learned that Voldemort had messed up the British wizarding world, I also thought about whether I should jump out as a savior like most novel protagonists, punch Voldemort, kick the Ministry of Magic, and replace Dumbledore as the most powerful wizard."
"But then I thought, I might as well spend the time sunbathing on the beach in Hawaii, and I got lazy again."
As he spoke, he seemed to be immersed in beautiful memories: "Later, I copied "Lord of Mysteries."
