The Bard at Hogwarts

Everything that happened in the trophy display room on the fourth floor was not accidental, but a microcosm of the castle.

Because many people who originally had a good impression of each other also expressed their feelings to each other because of the experience last night.

…

Ino knew nothing about the quiet change in the atmosphere of the castle.

Because a sudden piece of news disrupted his original plan.

"Professor, are you saying that the protective magic on Harry has changed?"

"About that." Dumbledore nodded slightly:

"In fact, before you came, the portrait hanging in the Gryffindor common room had already told me about Harry's change."

"Besides, apart from that magic, I can't think of any reason that can change Harry."

Listening to Dumbledore's explanation, Ino also fell into deep thought.

It can block Voldemort's killing curse and backfire to kill the other party. The protective magic that Lily released at the cost of her life is undoubtedly very powerful.

He has personally experienced Voldemort's killing curse, a powerful, swift and murderous magic. When facing it, ordinary wizards may only be able to wait for it to be cut.

Even such a powerful killing curse has no effect on Harry's protective magic, which makes people have to admire the power of this magic.

However.

Behind the power, this magic also has extremely harsh restrictions.

In this regard, there was a corresponding description in the original story that Harry had to live in Aunt Petunia's house during the summer vacation.

Family, blood, and affection seem to have become the foundation of this protective magic.

But looking at the original story, this protective magic seems to have only been used twice, once when Harry was a baby, and once when he came into contact with Quirrell.

Although Voldemort was resurrected in the later story and cleverly cracked the magic with Harry's blood. But even so, in the whole story, this protective magic is a bit too tasteless.

...

At the moment, hearing Dumbledore's description, Ino also had a bold guess.

"Perhaps, Harry has never had family affection, so the magic released by his mother has never really worked..."

This is not his blind guess, just look at Harry's life experience to know.

All day long, he faces a neurotic aunt, an irritable uncle, and a cousin who loves boxing when he has nothing to do...

Living in this atmosphere, it would be strange if Harry could feel the affection of his family.

On the side, hearing Ino's guess, Dumbledore nodded in agreement:

"You are right! The magic released by love and affection also needs love and affection to bloom..."

"However, the good news is not only this. If everything goes well, there are some things we can prepare in advance..."

While speaking, Dumbledore silently looked out the window. Although the Forbidden Forest in early autumn is lush, it is also a bit more solemn.

Harry's weakness and listlessness are all from Snape's potion, the poison of the soul.

But now Harry has changed his previous state. You don't need to think about it to know the reason. It must be that his soul has changed.

What Dumbledore thought of, Ino also thought of.

And Ino thought more.

What happened today made him feel absurd.

Probably, it's like trying hard to solve a puzzle, and after paying countless costs, you find that the answer is always right next to you.

Once this idea came up, Ino felt extremely absurd and real.

The original story sacrificed so many people, maybe it was wrong from the beginning.

If...

In Harry's childhood, someone really cared about him, and improved the relationship between Harry and his aunt and uncle, so that the magic released by Lily at the cost of her life could work...

Forgiveness and relief, the continuation of family affection, and a happy childhood, perhaps this is the most correct way to open this story.

Later, all the tragedies would probably not happen.

It's obviously a fairy tale, but it chose to be opened from the perspective of adults... It's really a wrong step, and every step is wrong.

Thinking of this, Ino said with relief:

"Professor, are you interested in listening to my story? A simple fairy tale, a story mixed up by adults..."

...

Time always passes in a trance.

That evening, the whole Hogwarts fell into an unprecedented silence.

All the people, whether students, professors, or staff members like Filch and Moody, returned to the dormitory early after dinner.

After washing up, he lay quietly on the bed with inner expectations.

Slytherin dormitory.

Draco sat on the chair, neither talking nor going to bed to rest, just blinking pitifully.

Facing such eyes, Ino was the first to give in:

"Draco, you have to know one thing, Christmas gifts can only be received on Christmas! If you receive them every day, no one will look forward to Christmas."

"But I miss my daughter!" Draco said happily.

To be honest, for a moment, Ino wanted to take out the video mirror to film it and give it to Lucius and his wife to let them see what nonsense their son was talking about.

At the age when he should be in love, he said that he missed his daughter... At this time, he should want someone who gave him a daughter, right?

"In that case, you will get married after graduation. Now go to bed and stop going crazy here."

After saying that, Ino ignored Draco and waved his hand to let the thick bed curtains fall automatically.

...

As the bed curtains fell, an isolated and closed space was formed around the entire bed.

Ino lay on the soft bed, but his thoughts did not stop.

To be honest, there were really a lot of surprises today.

Not only did he unexpectedly get the Philosopher's Stone that should have been destroyed, but he also saw Harry's changes and a series of subsequent changes.

Among them, Harry's changes made him most happy, which meant that many things could be finished in advance.

"The beginning of a fairy tale should end with a fairy tale..."

Ino thought of the content published in "Hogwarts Past" some time ago, Trelawney's prophecy, under the rainbow sky, the dark devil was completely eliminated, and the sky was raining candy...

To be honest, when he saw this prophecy, he really didn't think too much. But today's experience made him like to end the story in this way from the bottom of his heart.

Harry's story started in the wrong way, but now it can end in the right way. Although there are some regrets along the way, many things are lucky to have a perfect ending.

Similarly, when thinking of the ending, Ino couldn't help but think of the experience in the principal's office in the morning.

Before the final farewell, he told Dumbledore a story with another direction.

In the story, Hogwarts was breached, many people died, there were many regrets, and there were also many unspeakable emotions.

At the end of the story, Ino also expressed his previous speculation.

"If someone had really helped Harry when he was young, so that he didn't live in a small attic, wear old and worn clothes, or even be used as a boxing training tool by his cousin, perhaps there would not be the tragedy later."

After telling all this, Ino took the initiative to leave the principal's office.

In fact, throughout the whole story, everyone has the right to choose, but Harry alone has no power to choose.

From the beginning of the owl delivering the letter to the end of the resurrection, Harry seems to have been passively bearing it.

In fact, after writing this chapter, Xiaodi also pondered for a long time...

For the original Harry Potter story, it was probably really wrong from the beginning. The redemption and forgiveness in the fairy tale, understanding and family affection...

If all this had been obtained in Harry's childhood, perhaps it would really have a different ending.

There would be no sacrifice, and no regrets.
