Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Harry had mentioned the incident to Hermione during the weekend self-study session. Hermione did not react much to it. She pursed her lips and said softly, "Let's wait for news from Ron's sister." Harry knew that it wasn't because she had faith in Ginny, but because she was too busy with her homework before the Christmas break to be distracted.
However, with homework pressing down, Harry and Ron did not put too much thought into suspecting the literature professor. After all, there was nothing unusual in the school, right? The only unusual thing was that the Potions professor's resentment towards Gryffindor was getting worse by the day.
"Ugh, I haven't been to the Union Building for a long time …" Harry complained as he bit the tip of his quill.
Jean quickly walked out of the Hogwarts Castle and headed towards the Union Building. Her red hair fluttered like flames in the cold wind, and her expression was as cold as frost. Behind her, a young man looked around and followed her. "Jean!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Jean paused for a moment, but still stopped and waited for the young man to catch up.
"Jean, you didn't eat anything for lunch …" Scott looked worried, holding a bag of bread in his hand. "I had a friend from Ravenclaw cast a warming spell."
Jean took the bread, which was still soft and warm, and thanked Scott sincerely. "Thank you for remembering me."
Scott walked side by side with Jean towards the Union Building, but he was still puzzled. Jean's eyes behind the red stone glasses were also full of doubts. "Jean, why do you look … a little haggard these days?"
Jean shook her head silently. "No." Seeing Scott looking at her, Jean forced a smile. "Maybe it's because of the cold weather."
"Jean …" Scott wanted to say something but was interrupted by Jean. "But you, Scott, are you going back to school during the Christmas break?"
"Of course! Pietro, Warren, and Côte are going back too … Wait, Jean, aren't you going back? "Scott held Jean's hand.
"I …" Jean hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've talked to the professor, and he agreed."
"Why?!"
Instead of answering, Jean brought up another topic. "Scott, will you come back this time?"
Scott didn't know how to answer this question, so he could only remain silent with a cold face.
Jean knew that Scott was not on the list of international students because Scott's mutant ability was not suitable for this exchange between the three schools. In fact, Scott had not participated in the actual combat training. Pietro, Peter, and the others had already started to fight one-on-one with the senior wizards. Scott had specifically applied to the professor before he left. As for the reason …
"Scott, I'm fine. You don't have to come here to protect me …" Jean looked helplessly at the boy who was about the same height as her.
Scott obviously didn't think that Jean's condition could be described as "fine". "But what about your nightmares? What were you and the professor talking about? " Although he didn't think that the professor would let Jean put herself in a dangerous situation, Scott was still worried when he thought of the commotion in the school at night.
"Scott …" Jean rubbed her temples. "You're making things difficult for me!" The red-haired girl blinked. "Logan will hate me more and more!"
Laser Eyes was furious. "What does it have to do with Logan?!"
Seeing the angry Laser Eyes turn and run away, Jean laughed and turned to go upstairs. After two turns, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Her destination was the Hexagon Library. Jean went straight to the innermost small room. As usual, it was empty. Jean could sit down and read The History of Weird Magic, which she had borrowed from the Hogwarts Library. On the list next to her, there was another book from the Hexagon Library, One Hundred and One Absurd Medieval Legends.
Jean frowned. Her fingertips swept through the rather jumpy sentences in The History of Weird Magic. Soon, she found the part that made her sweat. She quickly opened another absurd legend with her left hand and placed the marked page next to The History of Weird Magic. The more she read, the more frightened she became.
"Ah! Someone's here! "
The sudden voice made Jean jump. She turned around and saw the witch holding the wizard's hat in her hand was leaning against the bookshelf at the entrance of the room, looking at her with a playful expression.
"Professor Kamia." Jean quickly calmed down and greeted the visitor.
Kamia nodded casually and sat down not far from Jean. She took out a children's picture book from her hat and showed it to Jean. "Do you want to read it?"
Jean shook her head. Kamia looked disappointed. She glanced at the book in Jean's hand, chuckled, and looked down at the picture book.
"Professor … Kamia." Jean subconsciously closed the book in front of her and mixed it with the other books. At the same time, a bold idea pricked her heart like a needle, which stimulated her to speak to the female professor who could be called a stranger. "Professor Kamia, I want to ask you something."
Kamia did not even look up. She just nodded casually and said, "Go ahead."
Her casual attitude made Jean speechless. She sorted out her words and said cautiously, "Professor, if … if a strange phenomenon appears repeatedly in history, what does it mean?"
"Haha …" Kamia did not know whether it was the content of the picture book or Jean's question that made her laugh. She laughed and said, "What does it mean? Wars, prophecies, sons killing their fathers, the weak being conquered by the strong, the losers reaping the fruits of victory … These strange things appear repeatedly in history. What does it mean? At most, it means that the paradox of good and evil in human nature has made our history fall into a sad cycle. What else can it mean? "
Jean was almost confused by Kamia's long speech. Fortunately, she still had the History of Weird Magic in her hand, so she could still remember the purpose of her question. "But … Professor, what if it's a strange person? What if a strange person appears repeatedly in history? "
Kami finally looked up at Jean. Only then did the red-haired girl realize that this female professor was actually very young. She didn't look much older than herself. Her black hair was pulled back messily, and her black eyes were looking at her thoughtfully.
"Are you talking about God?" Kamia asked in a very straightforward tone. "Merlin of the sorcerers, God of the Christians, Allah of the Muslims, the Jade Emperor of the Chinese, and many other cultures have a God above all things. Are you talking about this one?"
"Not God." Jean took a step back, but her tone was very certain. "Definitely not God."
Kamia laughed again. It was a kind of laughter between banter and sarcasm. "Then it's Doctor Who. Hahahaha …"
Professor Kamia told an outdated joke to amuse herself, but Jean could not laugh at all. Not only could she not laugh, but she also felt cold all over. She could only reluctantly say goodbye to Kamia, put a pile of books into her bag, and quickly left the hexagonal library. At this time, Kamia was still laughing behind her, covering her face with a children's picture book.
Scott, who had been watching Jean closely, soon noticed her abnormality, but he did not dare to ask Jean what had happened. Instead, he gathered a group of teammates belonging to the X-Men. "We can't just stand by and watch Jean's predicament."
Everyone laughed at Scott's brotherly infatuation with Jean. Then, the angel first asked a question that everyone was concerned about. "What did Jean dream of?" They all still remembered the turmoil in the school those few nights. First, Professor Xavier rushed back to the school, then the vice principal suddenly called for a high-level meeting, and then they learned about the study abroad plan.
But Scott did not seem to know much about it. He looked at someone in the room and said, "Maybe the others know a little more."
Peter Parker, who appeared as a family member, immediately stopped Colo, who was yawning, but Colo poked Peter's back and said lazily, "Well, I know a little, but not much."
Everyone immediately stared at Colo, who was leaning on Peter as if he had no energy at all. He said in a bored tone, "Jean has been having a recurring nightmare these days. The nightmare seems to involve a prophecy. She and the professor both attach great importance to it."
Jean's nightmare. Everyone looked at each other. They all knew that Jean sometimes seemed to be able to sense the impending disaster, but prophecies … This was not something these boys would believe.
Seeing that no one spoke, Scott had to focus on one point. "But Jean is getting more and more nervous recently."
"Maybe she's on her period," said Warren, who had a cheap mouth.
Scott roared, "Jean's period isn't these few days!"
Everyone: o (? □?) o
How did Scott know when Jean's period was? In fact, everyone present wanted to ask this question, but between the stinky old man and his steel claws, they could only pretend not to see Scott's red face and propose a solution to the problem. "First of all, we have to know what Jean is worried about, right?"
"When did you guys evolve the ability to read minds?"
"Even if you do, you can't read Jean's mind, right?"
"The professor can! The professor should be able to! "
"Bullshit, the professor is now with Jean."
"What do you mean by that? Why do you guys only know how to mess with each other?"
The last sentence was blurted out by Peter, and then he found that the X-Men were looking at him expressionlessly. "Uh, how about I go out now …"
Peter was about to touch the door handle when Scott suddenly clapped his hands. "Yeah, why didn't we think of that!" Seeing that everyone had a tacit expression on their faces, Scott curled his lips. "Isn't there a Mind Reader next door as well?"
The X-Men had the idea of Martian girl Megan, but the group of boys dared not go directly to Megan.
For some unknown reason, when the higher-ups of the two schools sent overseas students, they both sent a big sister to take care of and watch over this group of boys who easily caused trouble. At Marvel, it was Jean, and at DC, it was the Martian girl. Because Jean was busy attending various classes and going to the library, in the United Building, everyone had always regarded Megan as a "little mother" role. Megan was also very competent in keeping an eye on the boys, and tried to go to bed early and get up early.
Since the boys did not dare to go directly to Megan, they could only take the route of saving the country.
As soon as Wally returned to the United Building, he was stopped by Quicksilver. "Hey kid, we're having a party here!"
Wally and Pietro's relationship was still very strong during their time in Hogwarts. Both of them were Strikers, and their levels were about the same, so they often ran a hundred and eighty laps when they had nothing to do. It turned out that he was not willing to run with his uncle Barry at school. So when he heard Pietro say that there was a party, Wally happily followed — he knew there was something going on.
A circle of X-Men surrounded a table of snacks and looked at Wally attentively. Scott enthusiastically pulled him to sit next to him. "Come on, Wally, did you just come back from outside? You must be hungry. Come, eat something. "Wally was scared and sweating — he was not familiar with Laser Eye.
On the other side, Colo looked at Scott who was smiling and felt embarrassed. She pulled Quicksilver and whispered, "Where did you get these cakes?" Why didn't she see so many snacks in the United Building?
Quicksilver pointed to Angel. "He said something to the Weisles twins, and the twins brought them here."
Scott had already coaxed Wally to eat a bunch of snacks, and at the same time, he half-concealed his request. "… So, can you ask Megan to do us a favor and see what Jean is worried about?"
Wally slightly slowed down his eating speed and looked at Scott. "You want Megan to go to Jean's brain?"
No one in the room was a fool. Judging from Wally's expression, they knew that this was not going to work. Pietro quickly tried to help Scott. "We are just worried about Jean. Besides, we want to know what her nightmare is about …"
Before Wally could say anything, the locked door was forced open. Pietro was startled. He turned around and saw that it was Super Boy who had barged in. Super Boy had an ugly expression on his face. "Conor?"
Ke Luo whispered, "Wow, super hearing."
Of course, it was impossible to eavesdrop in the United Building, so it could only be Super Kid's super hearing at work.
Connor looked around the room with a sullen face and slowly said, "Megan won't use her ability on anyone." Then he shut his mouth and stared at Wally.
Wally stopped eating and looked apologetically at Pietro. He got up and said, "I'm sorry, I really can't help you with this."
Wally followed Connor out, and everyone looked at Scott. Scott lowered his head and was silent for a moment. When he looked up again, there was not much anxiety on his face.
He said, "Connor is right. We shouldn't have forced Jean to say something she didn't want to say."
After that, the boys were a little worried that Jean would know their thoughts, but it seemed that Connor and Wally were not talkative people. After a few days of apprehension, they found that Jean was still the same as before, and the boys were relieved. Jean vaguely found that there was something wrong with them recently, but she didn't think much about it. She almost buried herself in the library, and when she looked up, it was already the eve of the Christmas holiday.
The international students were leaving school to go back to the United States for Christmas, and the students in Hogwarts were also immersed in the excitement of the upcoming holiday. The Professor Mcgonagall also finally realized that the trend had changed, and simply relaxed the policy in the last few days. For example, in the last class, Professor McGonagall simply asked the students to turn a broken doll into Santa Claus. This was not difficult for the little wizards who had been in class for four months. Beast Boy also urged Megan to turn into Santa Claus for the children's reference.
Professor Mcgonagall, who had always been serious, looked at the students who were amused by Megan and laughed, but did not say anything. She just walked around the seats and checked the students' work.
Harry's magic wand was obviously not enough to support him to make a Christmas doll. When Professor Mcgonagall came down, there was a broken doll with a sad face in front of him, but the dirty clothes on the doll had become red and green. Harry half lowered his head and stole a glance at Professor Mcgonagall's face, but found that Professor Mcgonagall did not have any reaction. She just said a few words about how to guide the magic power.
After Professor Mcgonagall walked away, Harry held his magic wand and tried to turn the doll's clothes into red with white edges. Well, at least it did not look like a Christmas tree on the doll's body.
Before the holiday, the only one who was not swayed by the holiday atmosphere was Snape. As the weather became colder, more and more uncontrollable things happened in the potion class in the underground classroom. As far as Harry knew, in the last class, Neville blew up four crucibles in a row, breaking Harry's record, and then received five feet more holiday homework than the others.
But! In any case, the Christmas holiday came as scheduled. The international students and the little wizards happily packed their luggage and left the school on the Hogwarts Express. Harry naturally would not go back to Privet Drive for Christmas. He had already signed the list of staying at the school. But he would not be alone this holiday, because Ron and his twin brother would also stay, because Weisles and his wife were going to Romania to visit his second brother, Charlie.
This matter was brought up by Ginny's letter. Ron read the letter and complained, "Why is only Percy allowed to go?"
In fact, Ginny could also go, but Ron never complained that this little sister was the most favored one in the family.
Harry patted the freckled boy on the shoulder, and Hermione asked, "And then?"
Hermione asked about Lovegood's family, and Ron continued reading. Ginny wrote a lot of "adventures" about how she crossed the plains alone to visit her neighbors, and then a lot of notes about how she made friends with Luna Lovegood. Hermione and Harry listened for a long time before they got to the key part.
"… Luna and her father are very good people, I guess. But I have to say that Mr. Lovegood is a little childish. When I first met him, he was hanging in the air by his own tuff vines. Luna said that this was his way of communicating with the children, as they called the plants. I asked Luna if we should try to get Mr. Lovegood down. After all, her father's face didn't look too good, but Luna dragged me to go fish. … I asked Luna what her mother taught at the Hogwarts, and she said that Mrs. Lovegood told stories to the students (do you really have such a class?!). I think Mrs. Lovegood must be more interesting than our mother. The last time she told us a story was when I was playing in the mud! … Although I was interested in Mrs. Lovegood, I didn't dare to talk to Luna about her at first. You know why. But Luna didn't seem to have anything to do with it, because Mrs. Lovegood was already in her memory since she was born … "
When Ron read this, he paused in surprise. He looked up and said, "I think I know why Professor Kamia doesn't have a past file." He handed the letter to Hermione.
"Amnesia. Professor Kamia lost her memory. " Hermione's expression was a little strange after reading the letter. "So there can't be any information about her past in the file."
Ron read his sister's letter again and nodded. "Professor Kamia lost her memory when Mr. Lovegood brought her home."
Hermione grabbed her hair angrily, then pushed Harry. "Harry, don't you think something is wrong?"
