I wield a sword at Hogwarts

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 next to 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 softly, "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 being 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 Breeding 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.

It's great.

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.

…

Chapter 565 Silver Hand Branch, Show of Goodwill

Having multiple sisters didn't make much of a difference to John.

It's not like he did nothing during the past three days.

In addition to restoring a cabinet, a letter also had to be taken apart.

"France?"

John stared at the letter from the French Minister of Magic.

His original plan was to open branches in France. If he hadn't been plotted by the turtle grandson of the God of Death, all his branches would have been opened.

But traveling during this time is not without its benefits.

His hair turned black again, along with his sight.

"Where exactly is that dimension?"

John rubbed his chin, recalling the dark dimension.

That place is simply my own paradise.

However, crossing dimensions is something that no one else will ever encounter once in their lifetime, and John can only secretly regret it.

At that time, there was a white wolf threatening him, and that thing was a world-ending disaster.

Not to mention John, not even the world of witchers dared to bear it.

"Charles Roland, since he sincerely invited me, I should accept his kindness."

John rubbed the ring with his fingers. The invitation from the French Ministry of Magic must also require some concessions.

"It seems that Delacour and some other people have contributed a lot to this matter and have reciprocated. I should also reciprocate."

Charles Roland, the Minister of Magic who is about to step down, naturally does not have such great ability. The Delacour family and Ms. Maxime have secretly helped.

Delacour was destined to be on a ship because of John's relationship with them.

Ms. Maxim, in addition to John studying there, more importantly, John is a disciple of Nico Flamel.

Speaking of orthodoxy, John is a disciple of a legendary French alchemist, so he can be considered half French orthodox magician.

"The situation in the United States is stable, and then we will start to develop our influence in Europe."

John mused, opening the other envelopes.

"Over in Germany, Ludwig is willing to help and is working with the Ministry of Magic."

"That's also the most troublesome one. Grindelwald's main power is entrenched there."

The road has to be walked step by step, and John is going to start with France.

"Isn't it time for Heinrich and King to start heading to France?"

John thought about asking Heinrich to go back to school. Now that Durmstrang's surname was Edgar, this request was easy.

But Heinrich was unwilling to go back to school. With his magical attainments, he could have graduated from school long ago.

That can only be left to him.

Two people who dropped out of school went to France to prepare to open a branch, and John also trained them on this matter.

Not to mention Heinrich, he is John's deputy.

Jin was already very talented at these things and had handled various matters at the American branch.

John's arrangement is to let Jin take charge of silver shops in various countries.

If the trip to France is completed, Kim will be there for a while.

Like America, John prepared to place his men everywhere.

Closing the letter from France, John murmured to himself: "Since Minister Roland is interested in cooperation, I don't mind letting others see the benefits of working with me."

He picked up his quill and wrote on the parchment.

Handing the written invitation letter to Riddle, John took out a small dried fish and fed it to it, saying, "Give it to Charles Roland. If there is a blind guy, just peck him."

Riddle nodded.

When Basil heard it, he could peck people. His eyes lit up and he came over with his head held high.

"Forget it, the last time you beat up the owl in Old Batty's house, I reimbursed the medical expenses."

John poked Basil's head wordlessly.

This owl's domineering personality doesn't know who to follow.

Basil flapped John's hand away with his wings in displeasure, turned around and saw Qiqi secretly opening the drawer, preparing to eat dried fish.

Qiqi's body stiffened.

Oops, is it heartbeat?

No, it was myocardial infarction.

The owl's feathers flew wildly, and John turned his head away as if he didn't see anything.

Qiqi was grabbed by Basil's claws by Destiny's throat, held down and stepped on the table.

Basil steps on Qiqi, full of dominance.

The wings hit the big head one after another, beating Qiqi until stars appeared in his eyes.

After Tom, the second unfortunate guy who was bullied by Basil appeared.

In response, Tom said, that has nothing to do with me.

At this moment, Tom was lying on the floor, and Ariana, who had changed into girl's casual clothes, tentatively tapped his belly with her finger.
