Chapter 305 Christmas and the Hidden History

The day before Christmas, Andy sent out the prepared gifts by owl. Except for the photo that Harry wanted, which was a little troublesome, the other gifts were all things that could be bought with money.

Mainly highlight four words, have money and be willful!

On Christmas Day, Andy's family had a lively dinner together.

Except for the fact that her aunt Ashea Collins has a new boyfriend, there are no other changes in Andy's family. Oh, there is another change, that is, Andy has become a rich man.

Many gifts were given out, and Andy naturally received many gifts.

After sorting out the snacks and checking that there were no love potions, Andy packed the snacks and threw them to Isabel.

The little girl was already crazy with joy.

Of all the gifts, Hermione's was the most thoughtful. It was a collection of European legends and stories, which recorded many legends circulating in the Muggle world.

Some legends can be matched with legends in the wizarding world, and Hermione marked these stories with a red pen. The magic mentioned in the book is marked with a yellow pen.

This saves Andy a lot of reading time.

Hermione still knew Andy very well, and Andy was indeed very curious about these legends, but since these legends had nothing to do with magic, Andy had been too lazy to read them.

With this book, Andy can fully understand the overlap between the magical world and the Muggle world.

For example, Merlin.

In the Muggle world, Merlin is just a character in folk tales, but in the magical world, he is a real person.

What about the Kingdom of Camelot mentioned in the story?

Even in the magical world, these records are vague.

There is a name but no address, there is a story but no specific timeline.

So much so that some Slytherin wizards claimed that Merlin was a wizard who graduated from Slytherin House.

Isn’t this nonsense!

According to Muggle legends, the Arthurian era when Merlin lived was around the fifth century, while Hogwarts was founded around the tenth century.

There is a difference of more than five hundred years!

This confusing timeline and vague recording techniques made Andy feel that part of the history of the magical world was likely to be artificially covered up.

Including the history of magic that Andy learned at Hogwarts.

Those histories seem normal, but if you look at those legends and stories, you will find that the so-called history of magic is actually lacking.

Muggles regard wizards and magic as legends.

So what do wizards regard as legends?

Obviously, anything that can be regarded as a legend by wizards must be related to gods.

Especially the story of Death and the three brothers.

Helen told Andy this story when he was a child.

But in Helen's mind, the God of Death does not exist, it is just a bedtime story. The Deathly Hallows mentioned in the story are even more illusory legends.

Helen told Andy that those were all fake!

Although Andy had only seen the first movie of "Harry Potter" in his previous life, he still had some impressions of the names of the other parts of the novel.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

The author of the original work has clearly told Andy that the Deathly Hallows is real and the three brothers are also real.

What about Death? Does He exist?

Very interesting point.

Muggles regard wizards and magic as legends, but wizards, as legends themselves, do not believe in their own legends.

"Maybe God also exists!" Andy guessed.

Just as wizards shun Muggles, maybe gods shun wizards.

It is recorded in the history of magic that many years ago, wizards did not avoid Muggles like they do now, and they could live with Muggles.

It was not until Muggles united to persecute witches that the relationship between wizards and Muggles gradually became tense.

Since then, wizards and magic have become Muggle legend.

So Andy has reason to guess that in the history of the magical world, gods have also come into contact with wizards and left behind those legends.

For example: the story of Death and three brothers.

On Christmas night, Andy briefly read the book sent by Hermione.

There are many places where the legends and stories of the wizarding world and the Muggle world can overlap. Although there are some differences in the records, they are generally similar.

The most famous is the story of Merlin.

Andy leaned on the bed and thought to himself: "If you want to investigate the truth about the gods, the most suitable starting point is actually the Deathly Hallows."

Because the Deathly Hallows appeared in the original work.

The invisibility cloak in Harry's hand is most likely the invisibility cloak in Deathly Hallows.

As long as Andy follows the clues, it may not be impossible to find the resurrection stone and elder wand.

The story of the three brothers also mentions that as long as you collect three Deathly Hallows, you can become the master of Death.

Andy scoffed.

It can be seen from the story that the three Deathly Hallows were just things created by the God of Death.

No, that's not right!

The elder wand is a branch that Death broke off at random, the Resurrection Stone is a stone on the shore, but the invisibility cloak... is Death's own thing.

Invisibility cloak…

Andy raised his eyebrows and said, "After school starts, I can borrow it from Harry to study."

Closing the book and placing it on the bedside table, Andy rubbed his temples with a headache. Sometimes Andy really feels that there is not enough time and there are too many things he wants to learn and understand.

But Andy is at a loss for what to do.

"Good night!"

After saying good night to the fat cat's patronus, Andy dispelled the patronus spell, cleared his mind and began to sleep.

…

After Christmas, there was only one thing Andy had to do.

Welcome Hermione's arrival.

But that was only a week away, and even if Hermione came over, she would have to wait at least until after New Year's Day.

Andy and Hermione exchanged several letters in the past two days, mainly talking about legends and stories.

Compared to Andy, who often lets his thoughts run wild, Hermione is more pragmatic. The little witch was dubious about the legend, but she was very enthusiastic about investigating.

Andy sent Hermione a copy of "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" and told her that the story of the three Death Brothers was probably true, and that the Deathly Hallows had also appeared in the history of the wizarding world.

The little witch really showed great motivation.

With the help of the tool man in the investigation, Andy can finally focus all his energy on practicing magic.

As time passed, Andy became more and more skilled in the use of apparation.

Thanks to his powerful magical talent, the day before Hermione's arrival, Andy was able to use magic to hit the target the moment after apparating.

The next step of practice is to repeat this process.
