Chapter 404 Resolving the Karma Family's Regret! Meeting Queenie and Jacob!
Chapter 404 Resolving the Karma Family's Regret! Meeting Queenie and Jacob!
Next, Joseph Kamar arrived at Hogwarts before Queenie and Jacob.
The Karma family is a pure-blood family from France. Like Kingsley Shackleton, the current Minister of Magic of the United Kingdom, Joseph has African wizarding ancestry and his appearance is more like that of a black person.
As luck would have it, when Dudley brought Theseus, Leta, and Kouveau to Hogwarts to find a new home for the family in Hogsmeade, they encountered Yusef, who had arrived at Hogwarts via the teleportation fireplace and Floo Powder.
Now old and frail, Yusuf did not recognize Theseus, who had become younger, nor did he recognize Rita and Kaus.
I recognized Dali simply because I had specifically searched for newspaper photos.
Dali knew that after Yusef and Rita, his half-sister, resolved their differences, they were still very close.
However, when Yusuf infiltrated Grindelwald's ranks as an undercover agent on Dumbledore's orders, he asked Grindelwald to erase his memories related to his sister in order to prove his loyalty.
After Grindelwald pulled out that thread of memory, he waved it away and it dissipated.
This situation is different from being subjected to a forgetting spell, as there is no counter-spell that can restore memories.
Therefore, Youssef doesn't remember Rita at all.
Rita did not recognize the elderly Yousef at first.
Dudley has the ability to see into people's true names. When he saw that Youssef recognized him, he took the initiative to come closer.
He made a voice call to Professor Moody and entrusted him with the task of finding a new home for Theseus and Leta, who was staying in Hogsmeade Village during the holidays.
Then, Dali and Yousef greeted each other and got to know one another.
He then took Joseph and Theseus's family back to Hogwarts Castle.
While in Hogsmeade, Dudley didn't say much, nor did he introduce Leta and Kous, whom Leta was holding, to Yousef.
During Dali and Youssef's conversation, Rita learned that the old black man in front of her was her half-brother, but she was still holding Kaus in her arms and didn't dare to make a sound.
Upon returning to the castle, Dudley summoned Dumbledore, and together they first confirmed something with Joseph.
That is, whether Yousef is willing to give up revenge on Kauss and only target his revenge on Kovacs Lestrange, who stole his mother.
Although Yusuf had forgotten his memories of Rita, he had not forgotten that Rita had told him that Kaus had perished at sea, but he could not remember who had told him this information.
Dumbledore had mentioned in his letter that he should give up his revenge against Coeus, and now Dudley was asking him about it again to confirm.
Yusuf immediately guessed that Kauss was either already resurrected or about to be resurrected.
So many years have passed, and Yusuf, who is devoted to justice, has long since come to a realization: revenge is one thing, but it is wrong to harm an innocent baby.
Furthermore, he had already arrived at Hogwarts and was ready to agree to become a professor there. With his parents' resurrection imminent, he couldn't afford to cause any unforeseen complications.
Therefore, Yusuf did not hesitate and made a guarantee to Dudley and Dumbledore that the Carmay family would not retaliate against Kauss again.
This time, Dudley used Legilimency to know that Joseph was not lying.
So, after confirming that Joseph had decided to become a Hogwarts practical tutor, Dudley restored Joseph's youth.
It also restored Yusuf's lost memories and removed the effect of the unbreakable oath that Yusuf and his father had signed.
Then came the much-anticipated reunion.
Yusef remembered Rita, and Rita was finally free from the fear of Kaus in her arms and dared not acknowledge Yusef.
Yusuf was quite capable when he was young, otherwise Grindelwald wouldn't have taken the risk of accepting a spy who suddenly defected.
Now, decades later, Yusuf's magical skills have almost reached the upper limit of his bloodline, making him a true elite professor-level wizard, and not just any ordinary elite professor-level wizard, but one whose strength rivals that of Professor Flitwick and Professor McGonagall.
Therefore, Youssef was confident and did not think he was incapable of being a practical tutor.
After settling in briefly, Dudley, Youssef, and Rita teleported to the Kamar family residence in the French magical world.
Here, Dali resurrects Laurena Kama, the mother of Youssef and Rita, as well as Mustafa Kama, the father of Youssef.
It also restored the Karma couple to youth and health.
The effects of the Imperishable Curse that lingered on Laurina's body in the past have not been restored, and now they have no effect on Laurina's thoughts at all.
After learning the whole story, the Karma couple thanked Dali profusely and, like Youssef, accepted the request not to target Kauss.
Dudley gave Yusuf and his parents, and Leta and her mother time to reunite, before returning to Hogwarts himself.
He instructed the two to return to Hogwarts to teach before the start of the new school year.
Dudley, upon returning to Hogwarts, was greeted by Queenie and Jacob, who had traveled across the ocean, and Newt and his wife also returned.
Needless to say, Queenie and Jacob are the simplest couple; their initial benefit is simply to regain their youth.
Queenie is a natural Legilimency master; her ability to read minds is an inescapable passive effect. Furthermore, the rejuvenated Queenie is an absolute beauty.
As expected, Queenie and Dudley got along very well and quickly became friends.
Because Dudley has an honest and straightforward personality, when he doesn't need to scheme or plot against people, what he says and what he thinks are exactly the same.
Influenced by her innate abilities, Queenie has witnessed the complexities and wickedness of human nature since childhood, and she admires Dudley, a person who is true to himself and his true self.
This is also why Queenie, who is both beautiful and a wizard, would fall in love with Jacob, a Muggle.
(In the American wizarding world, Muggles are called Muggles.)
At the same time, Jacob and Dudley get along very well, because Jacob, like Dudley in the past, is an ordinary person who yearns for magic and has experience living in Muggle society.
Moreover, Jacob and Dudley have many things in common: they are both strong and have a strong will, and are able to withstand the Cruciatus Curse.
Jacob withstood Grindelwald's Crucifixion, and Dudley withstood Voldemort's Crucifixion.
In some ways, they could be considered brothers in misfortune.
After some consideration, Dudley gave Jacob one of his stockpiled Bloodstones.
This is the basic Magic Bloodstone, the only one left out of the four finished products from the initial crafting. Dudley had already given the other three to his parents and Aunt Maggie.
Jacob was so excited when he obtained the Bloodstone and learned of its uses from Dudley that he jumped up with joy.
After the initial excitement, he immediately consumed the Bloodstone, becoming a wizard and causing a magical upheaval.
After becoming a wizard, Jacob excitedly pulled out a snakewood branch that looked like a magic wand from his pocket, waved it at a book on a table not far away, and even correctly recited the incantation for the levitation spell.
However, snakewood branches without a core cannot channel a wizard's magic out of their body to create a magical effect.
