Dynavale and Hogwarts

On the morning of New Year's Day, Dana put on a robe and put Ivan in a robe as well. It was the first time for Ivan to wear such clothes, and his hands curiously touched here and there on the clothes.

After bringing the first-time gift, Bob drove the brothers to the Leaky Cauldron, and then anxiously went back to spend time with Amanda.

Dana smiled and shook his head. The relationship between his parents is still so good. He led Ivan into the Leaky Cauldron Bar, came to the bar and said to the boss: "Tom, happy New Year, my brother and I want to borrow the fireplace."

Tom said Happy New Year, pointed to the fireplace and motioned for Dana to use it, and then he was busy greeting other guests.

He took Ivan's hand to the fireplace, took out a bag, and asked Ivan to grab a handful of Floo powder: "After a while, sprinkle the Floo powder into the fireplace, and when the flame turns green, walk into the flame and say clearly Longbottom's home, then don't panic, be sure to stand firm when you land again. Come on, let's talk about Longbottom's home first."

"Longbottom's home" little Ivan said clearly.

Dana took a step back and signaled that Ivan could start. Then he concentrated on listening to what Ivan said. If he made a mistake, Dana could follow him immediately.

Ivan did a good job, and Dana immediately sprinkled Floo powder and followed suit.

When his feet landed again, Dana saw Ivan and Neville staring at each other with big eyes. Dana quickly cleaned up himself and Ivan, and then introduced Neville and Ivan.

Ivan immediately said sweetly to Neville: "Brother Neville, happy New Year"

Neville stepped forward and said Happy New Year, and then said to Dana: "You never said that your brother is so handsome and so well-behaved and sensible."

Hearing Neville's compliment, Ivan smiled happily.

"Neville, is your classmate here? I heard a noise." Dana saw a thin middle-aged man, wearing Muggle formal attire, walking into the living room.

Neville hurriedly introduced to Dana and Ivan: "Dana, Ivan, this is my uncle Algie." Then he introduced the Dana brothers to his uncle.

Dana then noticed that Neville was also wearing Muggle formal attire. Neville and Algie both laughed when they saw the Dana brothers dressed in standard wizarding attire.

Algy took out his wand and turned his and Neville's formal clothes back into robes, while Dana was busy restoring the bouquets that had been turned into buttons to avoid being stained by Floo powder.

Dana handed the red wine he had been holding in his left hand to Algie and said with a smile: "I don't know what wizard etiquette is. According to Muggle etiquette, you always have to bring something with you when you first visit, so I brought a bottle of red wine. "

Algy took it with a smile, then asked Neville to entertain the guests and walked out of the living room. Dana figured he had gone to see Neville's grandmother.

Neville led Ivan around the living room. At Ivan's request, he looked at the moving photos and the talking magic paintings. He also talked with great interest to one of Neville's characters in the magic paintings. The ancestors chatted.

Seeing that Ivan was enjoying himself, Neville took the time to come to Dana and whispered: "You can cast spells outside the school without fear of being troubled by the Ministry of Magic."

Dana whispered to Neville: "I used the method that Jarvan taught me to temporarily block the Tracer Curse for a short while."

Ivan ran over and said with a satisfied look on his face: "Dana, it's exactly what you said, just like a real person."

The three of them heard footsteps outside, stopped talking, and looked at the door of the living room.

I saw an old man walking into the living room wearing a green robe and a tall hat with a stuffed eagle on the top.

Neville quickly stood up and introduced the Dana brothers to the old woman, and then introduced his grandmother to the Dana brothers.

Dana winked at Ivan, and Ivan immediately picked up the bouquet, ran to Neville's grandmother, tiptoed and handed the flowers to the woman's hand, and then said sweetly: "Grandma, Happy New Year."

Neville's grandmother hurriedly bent down to take the bouquet and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Ivan."

Then he said to Dana: "Welcome, I have wanted to invite you to be my guest for a long time. When you come here, treat it as your own home, don't be restrained. Let Neville show you around first, and we will have dinner later."

Neville led the two of them to visit the house. As he visited, Dana could see that the owner of the house had tried his best to maintain it, but it still looked dilapidated.

It is estimated that a large part of the Neville family's money is spent on St. Mungo's Hospital. I heard Ivan chattering non-stop to Neville. It seems that Ivan likes Neville quite a lot.

Finally, Neville's aunt Aine came to call everyone to eat, and the visit ended. The house is still very big, my ancestors must have been wider.

Everyone was eating quietly at the dining table, and even Uncle Algie, who was sometimes a bit unobtrusive, became much more restrained in front of his mother.

Looking at the Neville and Dana brothers, Aunt Aine thought of something, and the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes were held back under Neville's grandmother's stern gaze.

Both Dana and Ivan have been trained in dining etiquette, so they have no problem with the silence at the table. The food is prepared with great care. Since the host has shown sincerity, the guests cannot be stingy with compliments.

After the meal, Dana earnestly praised the deliciousness of the food, and even guessed the cooking methods appropriately. He scratched the itch, which made Aunt Ani smile.

Even Neville's grandmother smiled. What could make a host happier than a sincere compliment from a guest?

After taking a nap after the meal, Neville's grandmother asked Neville to take Ivan to play in the garden, while Dana was left behind.

"Dana, thank you for helping Neville regain his memory."

The old man fell into memories: "I failed to protect them. The mysterious man collapsed. Who would have thought that the Death Eaters would dare to use the Unforgivable Curse to question two Aurors?" The old man clenched his hands tightly.

"My best son and his wife entered St. Mungo's like this. They are good people, but the Longbottom family has no outstanding heirs."

The old man looked sad: "Neville originally had hope, but I had to erase his memory knowing that it might damage his brain."

The old man paused for a moment before continuing: "Instead of seeing him have nightmares, heart palpitations, and no peace of mind every night, it is better to let him be an ordinary wizard. Alas, this child originally has excellent magic talent."

"Thank you. The recovery of Neville's memory means that I no longer have to blame myself." The old man walked out of his memories and looked at Dana with loving eyes: "Can you use natural soothing again?"

Dana shook his head in embarrassment: "I don't know what happened at that time, Professor Sprout told me."

The old man was not disappointed when he heard this, and nodded: "I read the note you gave to Neville as a Christmas gift, and I was surprised that you have come so far on the road of magic.

"Most young wizards like you are still troubled by following the gourd's pattern and issuing a magic spell, but you have begun to explore the nature of magic.

"It's amazing. Neville is so glad to have a friend like you."

Dana hurriedly said: "It's just some random thoughts of my own, which are still far from the essence of magic."

The old man nodded: "That's good. Being unconstrained and not constrained by rules is another help for you to explore the essence of magic."

Then he took out a notebook and handed it to Dana and said: "As people get older, they also become more verbose. Here is an excerpt from the family book collection about the soul. I also made some annotations on it. It is my own research.

"Ever since my son was tortured to madness by the Cruciatus Curse, I hope every day that one day he will be cured.

“I have been trying to find a cure, but I am increasingly unable to do so.

"If you find a way to cure my son and wife in the process of researching souls, please help them for Neville's sake."

Dana hesitated for a moment, then took the note, feeling a little hot to the touch. Dana knew that this was a gift of thanks and hope. If you don't want to wipe out the old man's hope, you have to accept the gift of thanks.

Dana couldn't bear to let the old man down. The old man's figure was a little stooped at this moment, but he straightened his back immediately.

Later, the two talked about Neville, and Dana said some kind words for Neville, and also gave some specific examples to make Neville's grandmother believe him.

Talking about Neville's recent changes and progress, Neville's grandmother gradually relaxed her brows and put on a slight smile on her face.
