HP’S PARALLEL WORLDS - Chapter 8
“My uncle and grandfather, do you know where they are now?” Even if he wanted justice for his mother, he couldn’t have done it when he was just a kid.
“They moved away years ago, and maybe, they’re not even in England now.”
Knowing that Merope had been kind to Shelley and his wife by taking care of her as best she could when she was in a difficult position, Violet could not possibly blame Merope for not trying to do something for her after Lady Shelley was killed.
Having been unable to move freely in the past, and having to put up with it, Violet had only just regained her autonomy and was immediately looking for Vincent and asking about Gunther and his son.
“I believe that after watching the memories just now, you have noticed that the orphanage you are now living in is not located at the same address where your mother sent us both together.”
“Whether it is because of the urban transformation, or because of the relationship of rising housing prices, so it was moved from the original location to the new address in the suburbs now, this movement of the orphanage, indeed, to me and Hetty to find you this action, brought a little twist and trouble.”
“Before officially going to the orphanage to contact you today, there are about your grandfather and uncle, Hetty and I also tried to investigate by all means. But unfortunately, other than knowing that they moved away from their original address the year your mother died, there was more that we didn’t know.”
“Part of the reason why your mother did not go to the Ministry of Magic when she was being pursued by your grandfather and uncle was because she knew that there were indeed many people in the Ministry of Magic who held the same views as your grandfather and uncle.”
“The spell she was under was a spell that could not possibly cause her any fear for her life as long as she received treatment in time, so your mother must have understood very well that she was not really able to do anything to your grandfather and uncle because of the non-curative life-threatening injuries she had suffered when there were certainly people in the Ministry of Magic who would be on their side to speak for them both. ”
“Instead of wasting that time to keep going around with Wisenheimer, and will certainly be advised by many people to go to the hospital to abort the child, your mother decided to choose not to seek justice for herself, but to spend all the time and energy left, how to let you and I live a better life on this matter.”
“Your mother did not go to the Ministry of Magic to report the case, and at the same time did not quietly come back to revenge, so I believe that your grandfather and uncle must understand that your mother did not take any retaliatory action, must have chosen to give up their own lives to keep you.”
“Even if originally still harboring some, your mother could possibly repent and return to the family after aborting the child extravagant hope, but also able to because of the actual situation at that time to break this false illusion, I do not know whether the two of them because of the fear of the east, so they moved away in a hurry.”
“……” The crime committed by his own grandfather and uncle was not a major crime of murder, and the two of them had run away to nowhere long ago, so Vincent knew very well that even if he could now go forward to the Ministry of Magic with this memory to report the crime, things should not change much.
“The memories my mother left behind are of what she experienced when she selected the orphanage to house us both, so since she didn’t save the image of my uncle and grandfather chasing her and one of them hitting her with a bad spell, my mother’s mere oral account of the past can’t be considered irrefutable evidence. ”
The mere dictation of why she had to be separated from her own child, Merope did not leave a single image of herself fighting with her father and brother. And her approach, in Violet’s opinion, is that she does not want her child to be obsessed with revenge in the future.
“If you want to justly sanction your uncle and grandfather, then you can find a way to become an Auror when you grow up. This profession is equivalent to a detective in the Muggle world, and is fully qualified to hunt down your grandfather and uncle.”
“After all, the two of them are able to treat their loved ones with that kind of unforgiving tactics, so I’m sure that on a regular basis, they don’t have much to do other things that are more serious violations of the law against muggles, even to the point that they can be seen by others as black witches.”
“So, even if there is no way to find conclusive evidence against your mother, you can also start from other aspects in the future, with absolutely reasonable and legal means to make your grandfather and uncle pay the price for their actions in the first place.”
“Are you planning to become an Aurore when you grow up?” It was clear that Violet did not feel any sorrow or sadness over the death of old Mrs. Shelley because she had been taken back from the orphanage by her grandmother and was now given a large amount of property by the other side, and Vincent did not think that Violet would choose to completely forgive the other side for the series of compensations made by old Mrs. Shelley.
“My grandmother, as the only person in the Shelley family with a clear conscience, can she make up for the mistakes she made by making amends after the fact.
“As for my two aunts who are still alive in the world, I want them to taste the pain and become an aurochs or something, is not a condition that I have to.”
Mr. Shelley’s father, sister and sister, since they did not consider Violet’s mother as the equivalent of a human being, they would choose to cover up everything immediately after the original murder, which was nothing strange in Violet’s opinion.
After all, stepping on an ant, stepping on it is also stepping on it, is there anyone else will be for their own stepping on an ant, and determine that they should accept the law, and serve the sentence, repentance?
In the past, living in the Shelley family over the years, living like a bedbug, Violet certainly do not expect their two aunts, and the grandfather has passed away, will feel guilty for what they did at the time as well as regret.
As for her grandmother, Violet certainly understands why she chose to cover up the whole thing with her husband and two daughters when she had clearly found her conscience.
After all, her own son has been seriously injured, and the dead simply can not come back to life, the old Lady Shelley will not want to lose a son after already lost, and then lose their own husband or daughter, choose to hide the truth, this is not something illogical.
In the past years, although the care given by the old Lady Shelley, but also very clear, she is not in her eyes is not a granddaughter, but merely the incarnation of the Shelley couple, is a can let the old Lady Shelley to make up for their own guilt and remorse, and rest their conscience of existence, Violet certainly can not be such an old lady as their own family.
“So, the things that need to be clarified, now that all of them have been clarified, what are you planning to do? Have you made up your mind to leave the orphanage and move to this place to live with me?”
Having never been in an orphanage, having never been mistreated or humiliated by anyone, there was nothing wrong with Vincent choosing to live in an orphanage.
However, being out of place with the children in the orphanage and having nothing in common with the orphanage staff, Vincent would have chosen to live with Violet, even if only for the sake of his spiritual communication.
“Because of your mother’s kindness, you don’t have to worry about any aspect of food, clothing, housing, or transportation while you’re living with me, I will provide it all. I will not dictate your lifestyle, but will give you the greatest possible freedom in a logical and legal sense. If you are willing to accept such an early entry into the world of magic, then I hope that we will enjoy the rest of our lives together.”
As she said this, she extended a hand to Vincent and was quickly greeted with a handshake in return.
“Since either you or I, we are both children, and Hetty is still a house elf with no qualifications to adopt a human, so there is the issue of your guardianship that we will have to work out well before we can.”
With a little magic power, she was able to keep Vincent’s guardianship with the orphanage director, and all Violet had to do was make her residence a boarding school that was open to Vincent, so Vincent could leave the orphanage and start a whole new life with her.
“Although there is no rule in the magical world that minors under the age of a certain number of years are not allowed to live outside alone from the protection of their guardians, turning your guardianship over by hoodwinking muggles would cause a lot of trouble on my side. After all, even my guardianship is still hanging on to my great aunt.”
“So, in order to avoid a series of unnecessary trouble, the orphanage side of things, I will let Hetty go over to use magic to take care of. Just understand that your guardianship is not with us, but any situation that requires a guardian to perform his or her duties, you will have to go back to the orphanage and find a way to get the problem solved.”
His own mother made absolutely no mention of his grandfather and grandmother in the important memories she left behind, so it was clear to Vincent that trying to solve any problems regarding custody with the help of his father’s side of the family would be completely out of the question.
Not thinking that he would have to involve his guardian in the process of starting a new life, Vincent, being a young adult who could keep everything in order, agreed to Violet’s proposal.
“Can a person’s memories be put back into his or her head after they have been extracted?” Seeing that Violet had packed up a few small crystal bottles, Vincent naturally felt a desire to learn more about the wonders of the magical world, and was eager to see what it had to offer.
“It is true that memories can be put back after they have been extracted, but they can only return to the mind of the original owner. Wizards want to extract memories, the general practice is to use a wand, but of course there are people who can do this directly without using a wand.”
“The extracted memories, as you can see, do not just disappear when the original holder dies. And, it is impossible for anyone who wants to fake the memories to do so without revealing the slightest flaw.”
“Normal memories, as you can see, are like liquid silver, emitting a beautiful light and flowing very smoothly. If someone falsifies the memories, the silk-like smoothness will disappear completely and become like rice paste porridge, sticky and semi-solidified, and it will be troublesome to pour them into the meditation basin.”
“Of course, the tampered memories are not smooth at all, like a TV program with a bad signal, there will be lag and unclear phenomenon. So, generally no one would choose such a clumsy way to cover up the reality that will inevitably be spied by others.”
“There is no such thing as an upper limit to the number of memories that can be extracted, you can extract one at a time, or many at a time. Even if you store many memories in a bottle, these memories will not be mixed together and interfere with each other, but will simply be automatically broadcast in a certain order after being poured into the meditation basin.”
Because he had not yet established a trusting relationship with Violet, even though he was eager to learn about the world of magic from her, he could not trust her completely, and Vincent preferred to get some information from Violet first, and then confirm it by exploring and exploring himself.
