[HP] I'm hanging out at Hogwarts

Chapter 180 He Was A Boy

Obviously a few hours ago, she was standing here alive.

And now she has no bones left.

Eric searches for Annie in the House of Requirement that was destroyed by Fiendfire, where everything was burned to ashes and nothing remained.

"It's impossible." He comforted himself over and over again, she must be hiding in some corner, and when the fire is over, she will suddenly come out from some corner.

Eric Gardner, you can't cry at this time, or she will jump out and laugh at you.You grew up with her, don't you know her character?

Eric said to himself in his heart.

He fell in love with her when he was very young. At that time, he was shy and hoped to be a well-behaved younger brother to win her love, but he found that this method was far less than the rebellious Bolai's vision.

The childhood memories of him and her came to his eyes little by little. She liked to laugh loudly and tease him, but she never succeeded.

After going to school, she seldom smiled, and he also forcibly controlled himself to get along with others, trying to forget this one-way love that could never be exposed to the eyes of the world. Lies to cover up the love that is ready to come out.

Every time she was full of indifference, she was actually secretly watching and protecting her, and she was able to save the day every time, allowing him to let go of the hanging heart.

He lied to her, saying that he had a pen pal he had been in love with for a long time, "Amy", in fact, her name was rewritten, and he wrote all the words he wanted to really say to her in those diaries, and his feelings would be suppressed day by day. When she broke out, no matter how dangerous she was going to do, he would accompany her to do it.

Because Anne Panik was the one he loved the most, always had been, hadn't changed in ten years.

"Why do you always leave me every time?" Eric knelt on the ground, black ash stained his pants. "One day...you should have a taste of this too."

He still didn't hold back, a man shouldn't cry easily, but now, he just wants to lie on the ground and cry bitterly, no war...it doesn't matter.

The prophetic dream, the nightmare that had plagued him for several years, also became a reality.

He used to be a teenager, but now he has lost the most important thing in his heart.

...............

"Hey! Why are you so annoying?"

"I hate you the most!"

"Eric! You're sabotaging my plans again!"

"Eric!"

The voice of Annie's childhood rang in his ears over and over again, like a continuous dirge, crying blood.

Little Anne went farther and farther on that unknown road.

He knelt on the ground, covering his face and weeping. When little Annie heard the voice, she turned back to the road and stroked his head.

"You are already taller than me, but in my eyes, you are still my younger brother."

"Hey... I like you." He yelled in his heart, and little Annie slowly opened her eyes, turned around and started running.

She ran farther and farther, and Eric couldn't catch or keep her.

..............................

"Eric...you have to cheer up, she definitely doesn't want to see you like this." Miranda wiped her face with her robe, "She won't feel at ease if Voldemort is not eliminated."

"Yeah...it's because of him that he became what he is today." Eric stood up unsteadily, "I'm going to kill him...I'm going!"

He just stood up and fell to the ground, so that his face was covered with blood.

Hermione clutched her chest in pain, but in an instant, she touched a round object, and her mind was struck like a bolt of lightning.

"Everyone... I think we have a way to get her back!" Hermione helped Eric up.

Eric was depressed, "How could there be a way?"

"Use this." Hermione untied the small golden necklace around her neck. "This is the Time Turner. After the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, this is the last one in this world. In the third grade, Annie advised me Be sure to save it, and say that it will come in handy someday."

Eric's soul seemed to come back.

"I really didn't expect this thing to come in handy!" Ron said, "There is still a turning point in this matter!"

"If we want to save her, we can't let us see ourselves in the past, but on that occasion, if we are not careful, we will be trapped in it." Hermione explained worriedly.

"I'm going, I didn't participate in this battle, so the past me won't appear here." Eric picked up the time converter and started to spin.

"You stand no chance of going alone!" Harry yelled.

"No matter what the result is, please leave it to me."

As soon as Hermione tried to stop him, the Time-Turner began to operate, and everything around him began to flow backwards.

————————————————————

Eric came into the crowded auditorium when Snape had just been chased away, and Anne and Harry were standing together.

Harry suddenly fell to the ground because of a headache, and everyone surrounded him, including Anne, and just as she was about to surround him, Eric dragged her out.

"Eric? What are you doing? Wait... Didn't you go to the observatory just now?"

"It's too late to explain so much, I have to take you to a place." Eric grabbed Anne's hand and led her to the Gryffindor tower. "This thing is very important, you must keep it safe."

"Hey? Eric?! How did you come here?" Parvati said to her, "Didn't you go down just now?"

"Excuse me!" Eric did not explain to Parvati, and took Anne straight to the Gryffindor Tower, and brought her to his bedroom.

"What did you bring me to your dormitory?" Anne was a little puzzled, unable to understand what Eric was going to do. "Now Hogwarts is at its most critical moment, and I don't have time to make trouble with you!"

"Sit down first and listen to me first."

"I don't have that much time." Annie was held by Eric and sat on the edge of the bed.

"Stupid..."

"Hey you…"

Annie's eyes went dark, she never expected that Eric would cast a spell on her, but why...

"Now you are finally safe." Eric murmured softly, as if speaking the most tender words of love in the world. "Next, I will do what you have to do for you."

He brushed away the broken hair in front of her forehead, and placed a kiss on her smooth forehead.

………………

Eric came to the door of the Room of Requirement, and Harry was very surprised to see him, "Eric? Why are you here..."

"I think you'll need this." He hid the Gryffindor sword in his robes, a silver blade with a green glow around it.

...............

Annie had a very long dream, as long as a lifetime. She dreamed of playing with Eric when she was a child, being trapped in the fire together, and experiencing all kinds of things on the Hogwarts campus...

But for some reason, the picture turned, and she saw the House of Requirement burning in the fire, Eric ran in the fire, he smashed the crown with his sword, and the sapphire in the center of the crown spurted a stream of black blood, sprinkled on his pale body. face.

Because of his childhood shadow, he is most afraid of fire.

run!Annie screamed in her dream.

Flames blazed in his blue-green eyes, and his tall, lanky figure stood motionless in front of the flames, devoured in one gulp, wrapping something shiny around his sword, and tossing it with the Gryffindor sword .

The gate gradually closed, and the shiny little ball fell to the ground, shattering into countless metal parts and glass shards.

Annie woke up with a fright, and her first instinct was to find Eric.

She ran out of Eric's dormitory, where there were still photos of him and Annie when they were young on the bedside table. She had just run to the corner of the eighth floor when she saw Harry with toasted and curly hair.

And Ron, Hermione, Miranda.Draco leaned against the wall with an unconscious Goyle.

Miranda was holding the Gryffindor sword in her hand, and she burst into tears, and Harry and Ron were also silent.

"What happened..." Annie looked at Miranda.

"Eric...he...he for..."

"Stop talking..." Ron tugged on Miranda's robe.

"I want to say...Eric, he failed to come out of there, in order to save you...I'm sorry...I failed to protect him." Miranda cried out loudly.

"He took the Time-Turner and went off on his own adventure...he didn't get out," said Hermione.

The sudden cardiac arrest felt like an electric current hit Anne, she suddenly couldn't hear any sound, only saw Miranda's mouth moving.

That dream wasn't a dream... it was real.

"So I should have died in the fire..." Annie said softly, "He... replaced me."

Anne felt a strong gag of grief, her throat aching as if a foreign object had been blocked.

How is it possible... Eric obviously hates her so much, how could he become like this...

"Where is the Time Turner... He can save me, and I can save him... We will come back together." Anne never thought that Eric's death would make her so sad, and her tears kept flowing from her eyes. Outflow.

Speaking of this, Hermione couldn't help sobbing. She stretched out her clenched hand, and inside was the Time Converter that had been shattered to nothing but metal parts and glass shards.

It turns out that this is the feeling of the world collapsing. Annie took the sword in Miranda's hand and rushed into the bathroom to try to wake herself up with cold water. She began to vomit because of sadness, and her stomach hurt, but now she couldn't tell whether it was Stomach hurts more or heart hurts more.

She raised her head to look in the mirror, saw her own pair of eyes that were very similar to his, and couldn't help reaching out to touch herself in the mirror.

Maybe after many years, I don't have the courage to look in the mirror again.

At this moment, she understood what William had said.

There is no free lunch in the world, if you want to change something, you must pay the same price.

Eric...I don't hate you anymore, come back soon.

Annie calmed down for a while, and walked out of the bathroom. She looked at the devastated school and countless injured and dead students.

Some of them suffered from a curse that could never be completely cured in their lifetime, some were scratched by werewolves, and some lost their arms...eyes forever.

If it weren't for the fact that they all took Felicia, perhaps there would be more casualties now.

She saw Percy rush to the hospital wing carrying Fred, his left arm bleeding from the Giant's club, smashing his bones to pieces.

"Fred!" Molly said sadly, crouching beside him.

The house-elf suffered heavy casualties. In order to protect Regulus, Kreacher fell under the death curse. Regulus found that he was still holding the fake locket in his hand when he was dying.

The air smells of gunpowder and death.

"Everyone... hurry up and retreat, I should handle all this." Annie said slowly, and she would say something to everyone she passed by.

As she spoke, she walked out of the castle and came to the square.

The Death Eaters and Riddle's army gathered together, and they suddenly received an order from their master-stop attacking.

Amidst the blowing dust, many people saw a thin figure coming out of the castle. They didn't understand that this child was not Harry Potter, but why did the master ask to stop?

In the center of the square where Anne had just walked, a strange and hoarse voice resounded throughout the battlefield.

"You came out...Where is Harry Potter? You two should come out together...The evacuation order is only in place until midnight, if you don't hand over Harry Potter by that time...then I won't take any harm Precious wizard blood, you will be buried with this school."

"Annie!" Blaise rushed out with a face full of ashes, he grabbed Annie's hand, "Don't go any further!"

"Brace... what he wants is me and Harry Potter, it's none of your business, I'm the one who caused your blood to die... I've had too many troubles, so I'm going to fix it this time."

Annie handed the sword to Blaise, "Give it to a truly reliable person..." She leaned closer to Blaise and said softly, "Give it to Longbottom, destroy the Horcrux...that snake!"

After speaking, she walked towards the enemy's camp.

Between her and Riddle, it must be settled. She held the fang hidden in her sleeve, which she had pulled out from the corpse of the basilisk in Rookwood Manor.

"I want to see him."
