Chapter 69: James' Past

"James, there's a freshman from my academy this year, named Daniel Hall, who has a good talent in potions, so it won't have anything to do with you, right?"

Professor Flitwick asked, half-jokingly, when he heard James brag about his own previous experience brewing potions.

"Daniel Hall?"

James muttered, and Erin, who was next to him, looked at him curiously.

Although they grew up together, she rarely heard about James's parents or his teachers.

James' experience is rather peculiar.

Because of his teacher, he was infected as a werewolf.

It's also funny, and it's hard for James to imagine that the weird old man next door who looks a little weird and naughty is actually a wizard.

In his old age, he came to the Muggle world to hide from his old rival, an old werewolf wizard who was about his age.

As a wizard, his body is not like a werewolf wizard after all, and he can fight against time for a longer time.

He's old, and he's just going downhill.

Their feud had been planted before Dumbledore and Grindelwald had even known each other, and after the curtain came down between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, their feud was still spreading.

And this time, the victim was an ordinary young wizard who was not even 11 years old.

Helplessly, the way of heaven is impermanent, and he only hates sin in his own body.

The old werewolf found the trace of the strange old man, and knew that he couldn't kill him, so he secretly observed the surroundings.

Later, he discovers James, a child who is loved by the strange old man.

So, the werewolf wizard James appeared.

That day, James only remembered that his teacher was getting older, and the palms of his hands touching his face were trembling, and although there was a smile on his face, tears of guilt still flowed uncontrollably.

At a young age, he left his parents, followed his teacher, and began to wander in the wizarding world.

Although the teacher often took him to visit his parents, he never went back since he gradually felt fear and alienation from them.

For his answer, the strange old man sighed, touched his head, and looked at the smile on his face, he knew that he couldn't just leave.

At least we'll have to wait a little longer.

He began to pay attention to his daily routine, setting himself a strict schedule.

Little James also buried himself in knowledge and forgot about pain during that time.

Sensing the strange old man's movements, the old werewolf also found a little wizard with a magical talent among countless street children and infected him into a werewolf.

He was going to teach him, to give him everything he had, and like a strange old man, he wanted Erin to pass on his thoughts.

At the same time, there are also their grievances.

Since then, little James's life has been one more competition in addition to studying.

The grievances between the two old men seem to have weakened a lot because of this, and they don't fight as soon as they meet.

But, as everyone knows, it's just that they don't want to.

How can the grievances of pure brewing over time be diminished? It's only going to get more and more "mellow", the kind that makes you intoxicating when you smell it.

When James was 15 years old, the strange old man was finally gone.

In front of him and Irene, he laughed merrily, because the old werewolf finally went to the Grim Reaper before him.

He still remembered that the old werewolf had called him over before he died, and asked him to take care of Erin in a pleading tone, as long as he was not bullied.

He agreed, and watched as the old werewolf looked at Erin, smiled softly, closed his eyes, and a drop of tenderness that had never flowed down his old face.

The strange old man looked up and sighed, as if he saw his future self.

Look at the two children around you, what a sin!

Since then, he has been worried about his two children's studies.

Looking at the textbook compiled by the old werewolf himself and the annotations on it, he couldn't help but sigh that his once cold-blooded heart actually had a time to warm.

At first, because he had compiled a new textbook, the two little wizards did not have a very good grasp of these contents.

But, in the end, all three of them are used to this way of teaching.

To his delight, he found out that the two little wizards had a good talent for curses, hehehehe, this is what he is best at!

Finally, there is an aspect that can compare to the old werewolf!

In the direction of life, he can be said to treat the two little wizards equally, and even more concerned about the disciple of the old rival, Erin.

He declares that this is definitely not the reason why he thinks she is a girl!

Psychological, psychological, you know? This is what he learned in the Muggle world, to focus on a child's mental health.

Look at Erin, Master has just left, and she definitely needs more attention.

In this way, Erin slowly integrated into this strange family, a strange old man who hated werewolves, and his two werewolf children.

At first, there was something wrong with each other, but slowly, they began to talk.

The grievances of the previous generation really shouldn't be imposed on them, since the old werewolf left, the strange old man slowly had this experience.

During class, he also knocked on the relationship between the two, and strangely found that their relationship seemed to be better than he imagined.

He didn't know how the old werewolf had educated Erin, but he didn't want to know, and he just didn't want to now.

Sooner or later, he had to tell the old werewolf himself.

After getting the old werewolf's intellectual legacy, the strange old man was even busier.

He discovered that the old guy had studied wolf venom in his last few years, and had successfully invented the spell to separate wolf venom.

He finally knew why this guy left so early, and he must be reluctant to use Erin for experiments, so the subject can only be himself.

......

Recalling his past, the strange old man felt that he didn't have much regret anymore.

Look at the two children in front of me, they have also grown up, and they have taught everything they should teach, which is enough to live in the wizarding world.

In the end, he smiled and told them not to open his laboratory before the age of 20.

The two children were in tears, suppressing their cries and nodding their heads constantly.

The old hand had lost its strength after all.

......

Time passed, and they settled down in the wizarding world.

After opening a cursed shop in Tumbledown Alley, the two continue their magical path.

Since his master's departure, James has also often visited his parents in the Muggle world.

He was always watching from afar, watching his parents gradually return to normal life, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

That family of three originally had a place of its own.

He looked at the sky, at the clouds.

"Mom, there's someone there!"

A childish voice sounded in the house, and the woman looked in the direction of the finger of the child in her arms.

"So, that, is that James?"

The woman's voice trembled a little, slapping the smiling man beside her.

"Like, very like!"

The man's eyes widened and he said.

The two trotted out, but by that time there was nothing.

Home.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

The child looked at the tearful mother at a loss.

"It's okay, mom is fine."

The woman held the child and wiped her tears, and the man hugged them and was silent.
