003 The day in my memory

Lawrence did not wait for the spiral stone staircase to slowly ascend, but climbed up step by step, and came to a shiny oak door, on which there was a shiny lion-body crocodient-shaped copper clasp, and he could faintly hear Dunburido humming in the principal's room, Lawrence raised his hand to knock on the door, and the door opened automatically,

"Hello, child." Deng Buliduo looked happy, "I'm sorry to invite you here this night, please take a seat."

"Hello, Professor." Lawrence sat down,

"The last time we talked alone was when you were eleven years old, right?" Dunburydo looked at Lawrence carefully, "What did I drink when I went to the orphanage to convince you to come to Hogwarts?" Tea? Lemon juice? Hot cocoa?"

"Ugh...... Hot cocoa, thank you."

Deng Bulido waved his wand, and two drinks appeared on the table,

"I must apologize to you, kid, for some things I didn't tell you." "Even though you didn't ask me at the time, I think it's my duty to tell you."

Lawrence vaguely knew what Dunburydo was going to tell him, and he also hoped to get a different answer than he remembered, he held the smoking mug in front of him, but the aroma of hot cocoa could not dispel the tension in his heart,

"I think you recognize what's on the table." Deng Buliduo said,

"Meditation basin, Professor." Lawrence replied softly, if he normally looked at the mysterious mark full of magic engraved on the edge of the basin, but now he was not in the mood,

"Yes, kid." Dunburidor stood up and pointed his wand at the pale silver-white memory swirling in the basin, "Are you ready?"

"Anytime." Lawrence also stood up, and then, white light engulfed the principal's office.

───────────

The same headmaster's room, the unlit stove made it look a little cold, even the feathers of Phoenix Fawkes were a little dim, the silver instruments were slightly shiny on the table with spinning legs, the picture frames of the principals were empty, Lawrence noticed the orange dividing line in the sky outside the window, the sun was setting, and the night was approaching,

The silence was broken by a large silver wolf, and then a gentle but somewhat panicked voice sounded, "Dunbulidos, the Death Eaters have appeared in Islington and wreaked havoc, I think they are crazy." (Note 1)

Lawrence then noticed that Professor Dunburlido was sitting in the rector's seat, his sharp blue eyes shining in the darkness,

"Do me a favor, Fawkes." Dunburydo whispered, Fawkes flew up, swooped around the headmaster's room and dived, Dumbleydo grabbed its golden feathered tail, a burst of fire appeared, Lawrence felt that he was also moving with the phoenix at high speed, he understood that this was Dumbleydo's memory, he had to follow Dumbleydo.

The sky was filled with dark markers, the cries and explosions of the people, the high-pitched laughter of the Dead Eaters, and the figures floating in the skyβ€”the Dead Eaters were throwing their Muggles into the air one by one,

The flames and sounds of the phoenix went unnoticed, there were sporadic shouts and spells across the air all around, and there were obviously people fighting, but it was also obvious how weak their resistance was, there were too many enemies, and more death eaters were torturing Muggles rather than fighting.

"Dunbulido." A shabby robed wizard said that he had just defeated the enemy and was leaning against a house that had been blown up by a spell, and that his wandless hand was bleeding, "You're finally here."

Lawrence stared blankly at the half-blown house,

"We'll talk about that later, Remus." Dunbulido said calmly, Lawrence turned his head, he could clearly feel the anger in Dunburydo's blue eyes,

Dunburidor walked quickly to the gathering place of the Dead Eaters, and as he raised his wand and pointed it to the sky, the glowing Dark Mark in the air shattered, and the fragments turned into bits of starlight and flew towards the captured Muggles in the air.

And Dunburidor pointed his wand at the ground, and the cracked floor burst out of the raging fire to trap the Dead Eaters, and then the Dead Eaters noticed that Dumbledore had arrived at the scene, and some wanted to turn around and flee and were surrounded by the fire net, and the spells that were shot at Dunburidor were always offset or resisted, and the fire net turned into a flame rope to tie the Death Eaters one by one, and the Oros of the Ministry of Magic finally arrived at this time,

Dunbulido walked towards Remus, at this time Remus had also stopped the blood in his left hand, and several wizards were also surrounding the house, obviously guarding something,

"What's going on?" Deng Buli asked,

"A child." Remus said briefly, leading Deng Bulido into the house that was half blown up, and Lawrence still remembers the next thing,

The living room is unusually tidy, a small cake with happy birthday written on the table, the calendar on the wall clearly records today's date, a woman and a man lie on the ground unconscious, on the sofa, a toddler's face is still tear-stained, looking around with open eyes, Lawrence clearly remembers that this is himself,

"We've learned from the Ministry of Magic that there are people working magic here." "So we came and looked, and we found the kid."

Dunbury squatted down and touched the unusually clean floor: "And then the Death Eaters came?"

"It's coming quickly, apparently the Ministry of Magic has their men." Remus said, then asked tentatively, "Are they looking for this kid?"

Dunburidore did not answer Remus's question, and at this moment, a large silver dog rushed in, and a panicked male voice said, "Dunburidore, Voldemort has attacked Godric's Hollow, and I think Jaime and Lily have ......" (Note 2)

"Lawrence, that's pretty much all I thought about here." Dunburydo's gentle voice came from behind Lawrence, "Go."

Lawrence felt a pull pull him up, and the last scene he saw was Remus on his knees with his face folded, and Dumbledore raised his wand and shot a silver phoenix.

───────────

"That's what I remember of your parents, son." "Your parents weren't dead at the time, but I don't understand why you became a ......."

"Orphans." Lawrence said calmly, but his expression was a little gloomy,

"Let's have a drink." Dunburidor said, raising his wand to heat the cold drink again, "I think you'll want to ask me some questions."

"Are they coming for me?" Lawrence asked after taking a sip of his drink,

"I can say yes or no, Lawrence." "They seek out lone wizards and threaten to lure them into power."

"But I was just a kid." Lawrence said,

"There was a... Well...... news." Deng Buli carefully considered his words, "This news has Voldemort very concerned... And I must say..."

"It's a little shocking for a child to awaken his magic, and at that time Voldemort's minions were desperate to find something to do their job." Dunburydo winked at Lawrence,

"I didn't even have a record with the Ministry of Magic at the time."

"Hogwarts has a quill that will register children with magical talents in a secret student register on the day they are born, which is the ancient magic of vows." "Although the Ministry of Magic can't reproduce it, they have created props that can detect magic, and although it doesn't work in places full of wizards, it's enough to control the magic that happens in the Muggle world."

"They're going to Harry. Potter's?" Lawrence asked, "I finally heard Voldemort go to them." (Note 3, note 4)

"Oh, Lawrence, that's a difficult question to answer," said Dunburydo, "but... Well, I guess so, don't blame Harry, Lawrence."

"No, it's none of his business, Professor, it's Volley... Oh, it's the Dark Lord's fault." Lawrence thought that he blurted out his name again, and quickly changed his words,

"I'm glad I'm glad Lawrence, I notice that you don't seem afraid to call him by name." "Always use the right name for things. Fear of a name reinforces fear of the thing itself."

"Yes, Professor." Lawrence said, "I..."

"Oh, Lawrence." Dunburydo interrupted him with a smile, "It's late, and if you doze off in Professor McGonagall's class tomorrow, I think she'll come to settle accounts with me."

"Okay, Professor, one last question?"

Deng Buliduo smiled and nodded,

"Do you remember when you were a child?"

"When was it younger? Is it like a baby?" Deng Buliduo asked with a smile,

"I remember every birthday, Professor." Lawrence looked at Deng Bulido and first smiled, surprised, and then thought,

"I don't remember, kid." Deng Buliduo regained a kind smile and said in a brisk tone, "I guess a great memory can help you complete your schoolwork easily, right?"

───────────

Note 1: Islington is one of the boroughs of London

Note 2: In episodes 1 and 3, Hagrid received a message from Dunburidor and rushed to pick up Harry, and he was very efficient, he took Harry out before the Muggles got there (described in the first episode), Hagrid couldn't use a wand at that time, and I don't think he could use Phantom Transfer.

Unbeknownst to Dunburidos, Sirius convinces Jaime to replace the Keeper with Peter Pettigrew at the last moment, which creates a problem: how do Dunburidos and the others learn that Voldemort had attacked the Potters?

So I think the initial warning was Sirius, and the information that could not be revealed to the Potters because of the loyalty spell could be passed on by Sirius, and Sirius could infer that the object of secrecy did not exist (death), which also coincided with his own description in the third episode that he found out that Peter Pettigrew was missing, and immediately went to find the Potters, and he met Hagrid, so I define here that after he found out that Peter was missing, he sent a message to Dunburido,

And I think at the end of the third episode, there is a good chance that Deng Buliduo can believe Sirius, and it is very likely that he already suspected that things were not simple, of course, this long list is my guess, just laugh if you misread it.

Note 3: Actually, I have always been very puzzled why Muggle-born wizards would not dare to call him by his name, just like some murderers in the newspaper news, or even terrorist organizations, it is normal to be afraid, but it is a bit strange not to dare to call him, of course, at that time, wizards lived under the terrorist threat of Voldemort, and I think it is understandable.

Note 4: Hermione mentioned in the first episode, and Harry Potter is mentioned in many books, and I think it would be very reasonable for Lawrence to know the names of Harry's parents.
