Chapter 93: The So-Called Truth
The sound of the rain outside the window has stopped, but the sky has not yet cleared.
The nurse had long since left, and the remaining three had been silent for a long time.
In the quiet room, the atmosphere is depressing.
"Whew!" Kevin let out a long breath, "So, I'm Voldemort?" he lowered his head and grabbed the iron railing at the head of the bed with one hand.
"It's just speculation on the part of some that you happened to be born after Voldemort's demise, and that the fleeing Death Eaters were looking for you at risk. McGonagall noticed the iron pipe that was gradually deforming in Kevin's hand, her expression did not change, and she said calmly, "However, you have nothing in common with Voldemort except that you can fly without the help of any tools." ”
"You mentioned earlier that I have a strong bloodline and a lot of magic. Kevin looked up and argued.
"That's right. But Voldemort wasn't the only one with a strong bloodline. McGonagall's tone was unwavering, and she calmly accepted Kevin's sharp gaze, "Instead, I'd prefer to use the Ministry of Magic's words. ”
"Is that the guys? What did they say?" said Kevin, in a deep voice.
"When you were handed over to Christine, the Ministry of Magic had someone to check on you and bring your placenta back for research. After that, they came to the conclusion that your body is more like a magical beast than a wizard. McGonagall gave a statement that made Kevin frown.
"Fantastic Beasts?" Kevin noticed the term, "Evans said before that there's a book called Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. ”
"Even if you're a fantastic beast, that book doesn't mention you. McGonagall shook her head and explained, "According to the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control, this is an undiscovered species. From this point of view, there is some truth in the Muggle argument, you are indeed like Superman, except that the magical blood is more inconsistent. ”
"Kevin, do you remember? I mentioned that there are many unknown areas on Earth, and you are in a no-man's land, and there are no alien creatures around you. From there, you've been searching for adventure stories to find your parents, but it's just right that some of the story locations are indeed home to magical beasts. Christine continued.
"Do you know why Christine traveled a lot after Evans entered the school, and only let the Aurors secretly protect you?" Looking at the pensive Kevin, McGonagall further explained, "Just because your bloodline is more like a magical beast, although the magic is manic, but it is controlled by a stronger body, it has no possibility of evolving into dark magic in you." The Ministry of Magic only needs to guard against the Death Eaters, not a special person to control you. ”
"That's why it's hard for you to transfer, it's not a speculation about Voldemort's reincarnation, it's just that the Ministry of Magic doesn't recognize you as a wizard. That Mr. Harry, although he was an enemy of Voldemort, he tried his best to get you into school. Christine stroked Kevin's back and comforted, "If you are destined to be unable to avoid the wizarding world, it is better to take the initiative to create opportunities for you to blend in with everyone as an ordinary person, dispel suspicions, and better accept shelter." ”
However, just one guess led to the murder of grandparents and the robbery of Evans. I don't want to know the wizarding world in this way, and I don't want to accept it. Kevin's expression was full of frustration.
"There are careerists and outlaws everywhere, and even if magic doesn't exist, it can't change that fact, we can't avoid it. McGonagall didn't hold back because Kevin was just a kid, choosing to uncover this bloody reality, and continued, "We're sorry that you just happened to be caught up in the center of the incident. However, you need to learn to face it all, and we will do our best to help you along the way. ”
Kevin's performance didn't disappoint her, he groaned a little, seemed to suddenly realize something, and said eagerly, "You mean, someone is behind all this?
"It's not a small probability, I can only say. McGonagall looked out the window, and the sky hadn't seen the sun fall for a long time, just as she had felt.
Kevin didn't dwell on this one question, he asked again, "It's all too far, I just want to know now, who killed grandparents?" At the end, his fists clenched.
"It doesn't matter anymore. McGonagall sighed.
"Why? Seeing Grandpa George fall in front of me and not being able to do anything, why should I experience that feeling of powerlessness again?" Kevin said bitterly.
"Because, you have already killed the murderer. ”
As soon as McGonagall finished speaking, Kevin immediately stood up from the bed, took a step back, and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about. He stared at McGonagall, his words full of dismay.
"The Saxon of the Dead, a member of the Auror Command, an undercover Death Eater. When Voldemort rose to power, he was left as a shadow and never exposed. He divulged your location, and the George family was attacked. As with the previous account of the wizarding world, McGonagall succinctly, "Harry arrived at the scene, tried to leave another man behind, but failed. He thought you had been robbed too, but he saw you fainting in the house, and the Saxon, though his neck was torn, was found to be frozen to death. ”
"I have the ability to do it, but it could also be ......" At this point, Kevin's argument suddenly stopped, and he didn't dare to think about it, although he was very excited.
"Harry told me that he had guessed that it might have been your loved ones. However, after casting the spell of replaying the remnants of the past, he didn't think so. McGonagall calmly stated Kevin's conjecture and denied it, seeing the change in his face, as if anticipating what he would think, McGonagall preemptively said before he could speak, "In order to hide the existence of the wizarding world, wizards cast spells to cover up the truth, and this past can no longer be seen." Also, for safety reasons, you can't leave the school for a while. ”
Facing Kevin, who had changed color suddenly, McGonagall's tone changed and she relented, "But Harry has passed on the memory of this scene to me. The effects of the Heart Drill Mantra have not yet fully faded, and what you need most now is not to think, but to recuperate. When you're well, I'll show you what's going on. ”
"Is it necessary?" Seeing that McGonagall was about to turn away, Kevin stepped forward and argued, he didn't want to drag it back, even though the truth might keep him in his sleep.
"I've said enough, you have to realize that you're still a kid and your ability to endure is extremely limited. Thinking of Harry's reminiscence, the look of hell on his face, McGonagall knew that Kevin couldn't handle that scene at the moment. Even though she didn't know exactly what was going on, the mere fact that Kevin's face was so ugly when he heard that he had killed someone was enough that she decided to stop there.
"Christine. ”
McGonagall called, the other party understood, turned her head and said softly to Kevin: "Kevin, you have a good rest first, don't think about it too much, we will take care of other things." ”
"No, I'm not tired, I'm ......" Kevin looked excited, and in the middle of speaking, he suddenly fainted.
Christine hurriedly caught it, looking at the pale Kevin with a tired look, she sighed softly, hugged Kevin to the bed, and then covered the quilt.
"Squeak. ”
The two walked out of the room, and the door was slowly shut.
"Tell him this now, I don't know if it's good or bad. Kevin's reaction just now made Christine a little distressed.
"He's a smart, relatively mature kid who has had a terrible time, and I see Harry in him. If something is not stated in advance, he will sink into the past, and sink deeper and deeper. We need to find an outlet for his emotions, and for now, it's working well. McGonager has always been flat and straightforward, but this time she showed a rare hint of emotion.
"I thank you from the bottom of my heart, Headmaster. Realizing McGonagall's hidden concern, Christine breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely.
