John could recover by sleeping for two hours, but this time, in his rare free time, he simply gave himself a holiday.
He kicked out his father who took the trouble to ask him which of the pretty girls was his girlfriend.
Basil and Riddle cooed as John lay on the bed.
Tom flicked his tail and bit through the cabinet with his persistence, causing the two owls to lose their shelter.
Basil was so angry that he chased Tom for several streets with his wings waving.
In the end, it was Mrs. Wick who came forward to save Tom who was about to be concussed by Basil.
Watson secretly opened a crack in the blinds and looked at the parked cars outside. He saw his wife walking back with a dog on her left hand and an owl on her right.
"what is that?"
After catching the two little things that ran away, Mrs. Wick also noticed the cars.
"People from the government," Watson said awkwardly, "I can handle it."
"That sleepyhead hasn't gotten up yet?"
As soon as Watson spoke, he was glared at by Mrs. Wick.
He shut his mouth slyly.
The originally harmonious life of husband and wife has returned to the position of brother in the family.
It’s not Mrs. Wick’s fault.
After all, it is a long thing to write, but in fact, not even a month has passed since the last time John disappeared in Hogwarts.
In less than a month, my son almost died twice.
No mother would be able to accept this.
Now, even if John wants to assassinate the president, Mrs. Wick will buy a plane ticket overnight to go there and deal with it first.
The sound of the TV came over.
Watson immediately walked over with a smile on his face.
The girl holding the bear doll stared at the cat and mouse on the TV.
From time to time, I moved the little bear's hand to give it a sense of participation.
Mrs. Wick came over and leaned on her husband's shoulder, looking at the girl with a motherly smile.
"Actually, I have thought about letting John have a sister."
As a demon hunter, having an unexpected son is already a miracle from heaven.
When John was three years old, Mrs. Wick's expectant efforts caused Watson to hold his waist and let out a desperate wail at work.
The second miracle did not happen, and Mrs. Wick's efforts were fruitless, so she gradually gave up her desire to raise her daughter.
But Ariana's arrival made Mrs. Wick's desire to raise a daughter start to stir again. She looked at Ariana with bright eyes and whispered: "Look at her, how beautiful she is, like a princess."
Knowing what his wife was thinking, Watson put his arm around her waist and said with a smile, "We have a surprise for John."
Why is Ariana here?
Do you think an old guy who is more than a hundred years old and would even leave a baby on someone else's doorstep in the middle of the night has the ability to take care of Ariana?
If the Dursleys hadn't discovered it in time, Harry would have froze to death outside the door.
So, of course, Ariana followed John back.
And Dumbledore also has his own plans.
In this world, the person who is most familiar with Obscurus is none other than Obscurus.
And the only one who is perfectly silent is John.
There was no better place for Ariana than with John.
Dumbledore's guilt towards Ariana prevented him from educating Ariana well, and he acquiesced in his sister's departure.
When John was in bed for the third day, he finally went downstairs.
As soon as I got there, I was frightened by my dear parents.
"Introduction, this is your sister, Ariana Dumbledore Wick."
John held the adoption documents in his hand and looked up at his parents with bright smiles.
"Are you serious?"
After confirming that this was not a forgery, John covered his head with his hands and needed to calm down.
Down. .
Watson said dissatisfied: "What do you mean? Didn't you bring this poor child back?"
He had a reproachful look on his face, your parents were finally brave for once.
Don't let us lose so completely, okay?
John silently turned his head to look at Ariana who had come closer because of his arrival. He was speechless and choked with sobs.
"The thing is, she's older than you, Dad."
"What?" Watson's expression froze, and after looking at Ariana carefully for a while, he affirmed, "You must be playing a trick on me."
"You forged her birth certificate?" John looked at the birth certificate included in the adoption procedures, "1982?"
Watson coughed twice and said, "The procedure is absolutely true. Don't talk nonsense. Besides, even if it's wrong, it's still only a few years old."
Based on John's understanding of his father, he knew without even thinking that Watson himself had used his connections to get it.
He sneered: "1884, what do you think?"
1884?
Watson swallowed hard and said awkwardly: "Are you serious?"
"Anything is possible in the magical world." John said expressionlessly.
Watson himself was dumbfounded.
He couldn't connect the girl in front of him with an old woman who was over a hundred years old.
Ariana lowered her head, feeling down.
Because of death, this ignorant girl gradually improved, and she was no longer ignorant to the outside world.
John noticed her emotions and sighed and said, "I'm not abandoning you, Ariana."
Ariana looked up happily, and John looked at his confused parents.
Regardless of the adoption, John didn't want Dumbledore to take care of Ariana in the first place.
Whether it is future development or distrust of Dumbledore.
To put it in a philistine way, even Grindelwald would win over the help that the Obscurial can bring.
It would do John no good to put such a force beside Dumbledore, who was already an imaginary enemy.
John thought about it again and again and decided to respect Ariana's idea.
He asked Ariana seriously: "Do you really want to be our family?"
Unlike his parents who were hot-headed, he listened to Ariana's advice.
Ariana raised her head and opened and closed her lips a few times.
A soft voice sounded.
"elder brother."
John saw his parents covering their hearts in an exaggerated manner, and he smiled tenderly, "You have made a choice, and you must be prepared."
He placed a hand on Ariana's soft hair.
"As a sister, but also as a daughter."
Watson finally heard it. After all this kid said, it turned out that he still accepted his adopted daughter.
Thinking of this, Watson raised his head at his clever approach.
But he was so proud.
John rubbed his chin in thought.
Ariana is showing signs of recovery, which is great news.
He said thoughtfully: "You should also learn to control the power of Obscurus."
As a perfect Obscurus, the difference between John and other Obscurials is that his consciousness is dominated by the Obscurus.
To put it bluntly, Obscurus is a dark force that corrodes people.
And John was able to control this power and directly digest the dark consciousness that existed in it.
In addition to his strong perseverance, he also experienced many magic rampages and soul potion tempering, which made his spirit terrifyingly strong.
The obscurant are usually born among emotionally sensitive people, and suffering is a paradise for obscurity to breed.
Adopting Ariana was the right thing to do. Her parents would give Ariana a different childhood.
No one knows this better than John.
John also has a way to deal with the power of Obscurus.
He has tools to lift people's spirits.
Ravenclaw's Diadem, Golden Mask of Wisdom.
Both of these things allowed Ariana to suppress Obscurus's consciousness.
Thinking of this, he wanted to improve his spirit first.
"As a gift for becoming my sister, I think I know what to give."
John smiled slightly and took out the luxurious crown.
The crown kept shrinking and finally turned into a beautiful bracelet.
"You will always recover. Health is my gift to you."
Putting the bracelet on Ariana's wrist, Ariana felt something different, but also seemed unchanged.
John didn't notice that his father had a thoughtful expression after hearing the word gift.
Watson and Mrs. Wick exchanged glances, and the couple understood each other's meaning tacitly.
John was going to make some soul potions. The reason why he boldly used his soul as a sacrifice to refine the Horcrux was because he could heal again.
It can be said that as long as he wants, he can continue to divide his soul.
Even Nagini's broken soul John could heal, let alone himself.
Ariana also needs the support of Soul Elixir.
After suffering from lack of money for several months in the past, and returning to his own time, John decided to spend money in revenge.
"We still have to go to Silverhand Manor. The Dementor Farm should yield a lot."
John has realized fully automatic harvesting of dementors, and he also knows that fishing in the marsh is not a good way.
Therefore, the frequency of dementor harvesting is also reduced, and sometimes a blind dark wizard is sent to replenish the body of the dementor.
Enjoy it.
After returning from Silverhand Manor, John discovered something big.
Ariana is gone.
After glancing at his parents and Tom, John was no longer anxious.
Sure enough, wait until night comes.
He heard the sound of parking outside, and then laughter.
John saw Watson moving large and small packages of things out of the car, and he also took out a huge stuffed bear.
Ariana hugged the little bear and looked at the stuffed bear with her eyes.
The excited couple seemed to have bought a little too much and went to the department store.
If the Ministry of Magic knew that an Obscurial had just walked into a department store where Muggles gathered, they would probably be scared to death.
The happy emotion was transmitted from Ariana, and John smiled slightly after feeling it.
