Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 401, the prequel story, details some of the grudges and entanglements between the characters

Dali also greeted the understanding Tina.

Then, Newt spoke up somewhat shyly:

“Assistant Dursley, if possible, please allow my brother Theseus Scamander to become a professor at Hogwarts!”

Upon hearing this, Dali was momentarily stunned, and quickly began to think about the information about Theseus in the original story.

Theseus was once an Auror of the British Ministry of Magic. He, along with his brother Newt and a group of friends, helped Dumbledore fight against Grindelwald and was very brave.

He should retire now, after all, he's over ninety years old.

Why did Newt want his brother to be a Hogwarts professor?

To make his brother younger too? Or for...?

"I know this suggestion is presumptuous, but I still want to seize this valuable opportunity."

Newt continued, before Dudley could even finish his thought, "Professor Dumbledore has already told Tina and me that the source of Hogwarts' founder's blessing is you."

Only you can make people young and resurrect the dead, so... I would like to ask you to resurrect my brother's fiancée, Leta Lestrange, and also restore my brother's youth so that they can live happily ever after.

Therefore, my wife and I are willing to contribute all the knowledge we have in our memories, as well as my brother's.

Furthermore, my wife and I are willing to teach at Hogwarts without pay, and you don't need to make us young again.

We have happily spent decades together, and I am content with my life.

After Newt finished speaking, he gazed lovingly into the eyes of his wife, with whom he had grown old, showering Dudley and Old Man Deng with a display of affection.

Dudley didn't blame Old Man Dumbledore for revealing his resurrection abilities to the Newts; it was something he had tacitly approved when Old Man Dumbledore hired Newt.

His abilities were an open secret among the Hogwarts faculty and staff, and everyone kept them a secret.

Even Hagrid would do his best to keep it a secret.

Moreover, even if someone accidentally lets something slip, there's no need to worry, as the passive conceptual repair spell will prevent anyone from having any ill intentions.

Furthermore, the idea that Old Deng had received a blessing from the founder is so deeply ingrained in people's minds that even if there are rumors pointing to him, they will be dismissed as falsehoods.

Getting back to the main point, Dudley now fully understands Newt's intentions.

I also recalled the relevant plot points from the original story.

Leta Lestrange is Newt's sister-in-law and classmate. She is a graduate of Slytherin House at Hogwarts and has an extremely complicated and tragic background.

As you can tell from her surname, Rita is also a member of the Lestrange family, one of the Twenty-Eight Holy Families of England. However, there are three bloodlines within the Lestrange family, and she does not belong to the same bloodline as Rodolphs.

More importantly, Rita has a very perverted father.

Leta's father was named Corvacs Lestrange. He saw a pure-blood wizard couple, the Kamar couple, living happily and became wicked, and then put his plan into action.

Kovacs used the Imperius Curse to control Mustafa Qama's wife, Laurena Qama, taking her away from her husband and son and forcibly marrying her.

And she and Laurina had a daughter named Rita.

When Rita was born, Laurena died in childbirth.

Later, Corvacs married another pure-blood witch, Clarice Trumblad, and they had a son named Koous, whom he showered with most of his fatherly love.

Mustafa Kamal suffered a great humiliation when his wife was taken away by the Covors, but he initially endured it due to the status and power of the Lestrange family.

Upon receiving news that his wife had died in childbirth, he was filled with rage and could no longer contain himself, desperately seeking revenge.

However, he was seriously ill and unable to do so.

Before his death, he had no choice but to make his son, Yusef Karma, Rita's half-brother, swear an unbreakable vow to eliminate the person Kovacs loved most and avenge the Karma family.

Following his father's dying wish, Yusuf Kamar, after some investigation, learned that Kovacs loved his youngest son, Kovacs, so he decided to seek revenge against the Lestrange family.

But Kevors received advance notice and had Rita and the nanny take Kouvos by boat to the United States for refuge.

Midway through, Rita, who already disliked her half-brother, was further annoyed by Kous's crying and fussing. So, when the nanny wasn't looking, she switched Kous with another quiet baby.

The quiet baby who was switched was Aurelius, Aberforth's long-lost son.

Unexpectedly, not long after, the ship Rita was on sank. By the time Rita tried to rescue her younger brother who had been switched with her, little Kous, who was only a few months old, had already sunk into the sea.

This incident became a knot in Rita's heart.

After the shipwreck, Rita's biological brother, Kaus, was gone, and her adopted brother, Aurelius, who had been switched with her, also disappeared.

Later, the baby Aurelius ended up in the United States.

He was adopted by Mary Lou Byrburn, a mean and ruthless Muggle woman and leader of the Second Salem (a Muggle organization that hates wizards, which is actually an orphanage), and became Credence Byrburn, who breeds Obscurials.

Leta returned to England, finished Hogwarts amidst the whispers and pointing fingers of her classmates, and after graduation fell in love with Theseus, the brother of her friend Newt, and became Theseus's fiancée.

That was during the period when Grindelwald was wreaking havoc.

Leta and Theseus fought against Grindelwald, but because she refused to pledge allegiance to Grindelwald, she was burned to ashes by Grindelwald's blue flames and died in the Lestrange family cemetery.

It's worth mentioning that Leta's half-brother, Yusuf Kamar, also sided with Dumbledore against Grindelwald's core forces. He was even sent by Dumbledore to infiltrate Grindelwald's inner circle and outmaneuver him.

After reviewing the original story in his mind, Dudley knew that he was about to get involved in other people's grudges and entanglements again.

This is a tangled mess, and it's very difficult to untangle.

But for Dali, it was just a nuisance.

After solving this problem, Hogwarts will have a large number of excellent professors, which will be a win-win situation.

"Dali, Rita was my student, she was very..."

When Dumbledore saw that Dudley frowned and remained silent for a long while after hearing Newt's request, he decided to say a few good words for Leta.

"Okay, I see."

Dali immediately interrupted Old Deng, still frowning slightly as he reminded him, "You're thinking one-sidedly again."

"Is Dursley's teaching assistant in a difficult position?"

Newt and Tina's hearts jumped when they saw Dudley's reaction, fearing that he would refuse.

Dudley shook his head slightly at the Newts and said, "It's not difficult, but you're both underestimating the problem."

"Dullie, what do you want to do? Just say the word, and I'll do my best to cooperate," Dumbledore quickly replied.

Based on his understanding of Dudley, this was a prelude to another major move.
