At first, Professor Brain was just an investigator appointed by the school board to enter Hogwarts to investigate the Chamber of Secrets incident. Later, for unknown reasons, he briefly became the professor of their Defense Against the Dark Arts class.
Having been at Hogwarts for two academic years and having experienced three professors of this subject, Harry can assure you that Professor Brain is definitely the best among the three.
Of course, the other two professors, one was possessed by Voldemort, and the other has been proven to be a big liar. They are better than these two people, and it seems that they can't prove anything.
However, many senior wizards and professors from other Hogwarts courses have commented that Professor Brain is the most decent Defense Against the Dark Arts class at Hogwarts in the past ten years. Professor, that speaks volumes.
In addition, Professor Blaine is also the most powerful wizard Harry has ever seen.
He will not forget that in the secret room of Slytherin, the basilisk that kept him running was wiped out as easily as a goblin in front of Professor Brain. Of course, Principal Dumbledore It must be more powerful than Professor Blaine. Although Harry has never seen Principal Dumbledore take action, he firmly believes that.
Only halfway through the second semester of the second grade, after the Chamber of Secrets incident was concluded, Professor Brain quickly left Hogwarts. Since then, no news about him has been heard again.
The mysterious departure is also like his mysterious arrival.
Many young wizards, including himself, Hermione and Ron, were very reluctant to leave Professor Brain, but they all knew that this was Professor Brain's own choice. , everyone should have the right to choose the path of life.
Culard Blaine, the owner of Uncle Vernon's Drilling Rig Company. Ever since Harry recalled this name yesterday morning, Harry has not had a second to connect him with Professor Blaine. Go, though, they both have the same last name.
But this surname can only be regarded as a very common surname among Muggles and wizards. Just like Voldemort’s original name, Tom, the owner of the Leaky Cauldron also has this name. Could it be that someone would Do you think they are related because of this?
But with the same surname, the same gray hair, and almost the same facial features as him and his father, everyone who knows him has His parents would almost say the same thing when they saw him for the first time.
"Professor Brain grew up in an orphanage"
Every time the Dursleys took two steps, they would take advantage of the old housekeeper not paying attention and turn around to glare fiercely so quickly Harry glanced at Harry for making a fool of himself, and Dudley beside him kept looking at him with mocking eyes, but the confused Harry didn't care. His mind was filled with the appearance of the person in the photo that he had just glanced at.
"If he is really Professor Blaine's father, then, with such an enviable appearance,How could Professor Blaine, who comes from a He family, become an orphan?"
Harry pursed his lips and looked at the old butler named Lawrence who was walking in the front in confusion. If it weren't for the solemn emphasis of Mr. and Mrs. Dursley yesterday, He was not allowed to talk casually so many times, and he might have rushed up to ask if a child had ever been lost in this manor
They followed Lawrence to a room on the top floor, going in and out of here They were all medical staff wearing white coats, and everyone had a very solemn expression on their faces.
After opening the door, Harry was greeted by a very unpleasant smell of potion. He frowned consciously, and his eyes couldn't wait to look past Lawrence, who was telling Uncle Vernon that he only had five minutes, and looked into the room. He found that this cold-colored room was filled with all kinds of Muggle medical equipment. Harry's eyesight Blocked by a ventilator placed next to the bed, the manor owner lying on the bed could not be seen.
The nursing staff left the room one after another, and Lawrence led them in. And when they stood in front of this man's hospital bed and truly saw his current condition, everyone, including Harry, took a breath.
If it weren't for the computer screen next to the hospital bed. It was still dancing with curves that Harry couldn't understand. He most likely thought it was a shriveled corpse with shaved hair.
The person on the hospital bed had lost all shape, like a corpse. A skeleton covered with a layer of human skin
Uncle Vernon, who had rehearsed how to say hello many times in his mind, seemed to have been grabbed by the throat, and was planning to praise Mr. Blaine for looking good. Aunt Petunia couldn't say a word, let alone Dudley, who had never seen anyone else in this miserable state.
Harry felt that he didn't have to observe anything anymore, if this Bray. Mr. En died in the next second, and Harry was not surprised at all.
"It seems that my appearance scared you, Vernon"
With that. Mr. Blaine, who was wearing a respirator, said in a weak, tearing voice, which frustrated Harry's attempt to tell his age through his voice.
"You are angry, I am. You seem to be in good spirits, Mr. Blaine. ”
Uncle Vernon’s red and purple face had an ugly smile, and some inexplicable emotions were brewing in his heart
After all, the man on the hospital bed had been him for so many years. boss, and he had always admired this man so much, but now, this wise man was lying on the hospital bed, waiting to die.
At this moment, Uncle Vernon suddenly felt a little regretful about himself. Privately thinking, he should not think about tormenting Mr. Blaine anymore. Letting this man die peacefully is the best way to give him dignity.
Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye. After walking out of the ward, everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Lawrence, the old butler of the manor, sent them back to the gate and asked for Uncle Vernon's car to be driven over. Leigh noticed that the Dursleys all looked listless.So, unable to restrain his curiosity, he moved to Lawrence's side unintentionally and asked in a slight voice,
"Maybe it's a bit presumptuous to talk about this, sir, but, Bray Does Mr. En have children? Why didn't they accompany him?"
The old housekeeper looked at this polite child in surprise, raised his gray eyebrows, but there was regret in his voice
"Mr. Blaine is never married, son"
Even if Harry lowered his voice, both the Dursleys heard this abrupt and rude question, but Uncle Vernon Neither he nor Aunt Petunia said a word of reprimand.
On the way home, the car was quiet without any communication. Harry had been thinking about his thoughts, and the Dursleys did not question Harry about how much he planned to do. Get a potion that will keep Mr. Brain alive for a while longer, or simply get a wizard who is good at healing.
This silence lasted until home.
Uncle Vernon turned on the TV and watched the morning news being replayed, Aunt Petunia got into the kitchen to make lunch, and Dudley opened the refrigerator to replenish energy.
Harry standing at the top of the stairs was ignored by everyone, as if nothing had happened.
"I need to open Hedwig's cage"
In the past, Harry would have been delighted by the deliberate neglect of the Dursleys, but this time he took the initiative to attract everyone's attention. His breathing became increasingly rapid, and before Uncle Vernon was about to start roaring and Aunt Petunia was about to reprimand, Harry said with great determination,
