Counterclockwise · Rewrite the Stars

After Kudo Shinichi dealt with the matter, he silently apologized in his heart, but took the black windbreaker hanging on the hanger very naturally, and left the Joe's house lightly.The street in the early morning was so quiet that it was almost silent. Kudo wrapped himself in a windbreaker and drew out his wand after making sure that there was no one around. The Latin flowed out smoothly and gracefully. After that, it disappeared without a trace, and the dark street was empty, only the golden leaves were left flying high and falling again.

"—apparating."

In the next second, Kudo Shinichi fell into the dark and dilapidated alley, and his internal organs were mixed together by the rapid space shuttle. He knelt on the ground with his knees soft and covered his mouth and began to retch.The black windbreaker wrapped his thin body, almost blending with the darkness.His face was a little pale, but his eyes were bright because of the familiar aura that was close at hand.

He leaned on the wall, and after a while, cast a cleaning spell on himself. After confirming that his appearance looked perfect and tidy, he walked out of the alley calmly, opened the door and walked into a dilapidated but lively bar. A crooked wooden sign hangs outside the door - the Leaky Cauldron.

The atmosphere of the wizarding world happily filled the bar, and the butter beer was flying in the air, and it was delivered steadily to every wizard who ordered.The aroma of barbecue mixed with the aroma of overflowing bread wafted over, making Kudo involuntarily touch his empty stomach.

At six o'clock in the morning, although it was still early, the Leaky Cauldron was always so lively. There were adult wizards sitting in twos and threes at the old wooden tables, who were curious about him, who looked obviously immature. Looking at him, he sighed for his handsome appearance, and then returned to his small talk.Kudo didn't feel pressured by such gazes, and quickly passed through the Leaky Cauldron Bar, and came to a dilapidated and closed courtyard at the back door, and pressed down a few stone bricks with his hands accurately.

The rumbling sound began to sound, and the stone bricks were staggered and rotated one after another under the control. A few seconds later, a lively alley appeared in front of Kudo. People wearing various wizard robes came and went. It is a magical shop that has stood for centuries.Kudo showed a smile, and then disappeared into the crowd.

The first thing he needs to do—

Kudo walked through the crowd familiarly, and finally stopped at the door of Lihen Bookstore.

- Gather enough information.

According to Joe's description, he has been in a coma for more than two weeks. As the chief Auror, he disappeared like this, and he doesn't know what will happen to the Ministry of Magic.The fastest way to get news is to spend a few days in a bar full of dragons and snakes, and take pains to filter out useless information. The rest is actually nothing more than media news.

He opened the door and entered the bookstore, scanned the dazzling array of books, and landed on the newspapers piled up on the side. The black and bold headlines immediately attracted his attention.

1994. 10, 23

Was the death of the Chief Auror a victim of a political struggle?

The eloquent article attached a photo of Shinichi Kudo smiling and nodding. Shinichi Kudo stared at his 25-year-old self moving on the black and white newspaper, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

... who said I was dead?Isn't this a good place to stand here?If even the body cannot be found, it is impossible for the Ministry of Magic to report the death of the chief Auror within two weeks. This news is obviously fabricated and fake news.Or to find some exact evidence...

Political struggle?Don't be ridiculous, I remember clearly, the one who cast a death curse on me is obviously a Death Eater——

Kudou's heart suddenly twitched, and a bad feeling floated up.

and many more……

He lowered his eyes, took out the newspaper that he had been in for two weeks since he was in a coma, and quickly started to flip through it.

Death Eaters attack Hogwarts, chief Auror missing

There may be another conspiracy behind the attack, and Dumbledore's nursing school is not responsible

Chief Auror Shinichi Kudo confirmed dead

In memory of the war hero Kudo Shinichi, the light will never fade away

……

Not right.

When Kudo Shinichi quickly browsed through the chapters he needed, and when he waved his magic wand to put all the newspapers back in place, his mind was full of this idea.

So wrong.

Standing in front of the bookshelf, Kudo Shin touched his chin subconsciously. This is a habit he formed when he was studying at Hogwarts more than ten years ago. When encountering difficult things, he would make this small movement, drooping his eyes. He began to reorganize the news he had, and combined his last memory of the day with the news he had now.

I searched for clues along my memory, and before I got the spell, I just did a routine inspection. Although I don’t know exactly what range I found, but according to the report—someone later found it on the edge of the Forbidden Forest in Hogwarts. With traces of black magic and Death Eaters, he could basically deduce that he was attacked only after he had reached the range of Hogwarts at that time.Thinking about it this way, the confrontation at that time was only in an instant, and the opponent succeeded in sneak attacking him while he was not paying attention, and he only vaguely remembered——

It seemed that there was another person there, who appeared when he was knocked out and unconscious.

His brows were deeply frowned, and a feeling of uneasiness enveloped his heart.Because the fighting speed was too fast and he was unprepared, even though he narrowly avoided Ling Lie's attack in the first few moves, he was finally knocked down by the piercingly painful Death Curse, and his ears were buzzing. As a result, he was unable to fight back at all, and he didn't even dare to confirm whether he really saw the second person instead of his own hallucination...

No, no.

How did a Death Eater end up on Hogwarts grounds?If what I saw was not false, who was the other person present at that time?How did he miraculously survive from the hit of Ava Dasuo, and become what he is today?Why does the other party want to let the whole world know that he is dead?Is the rejuvenation spell a coincidence or intentional?

His gaze was fixed on "Remembrance of the War Hero Kudo Shinichi", and there was a trace of chill in his ice blue eyes.

Whoever was behind this situation, since he was still alive, must find out and gamble his reputation as the chief Auror.Anyway, he has already "died in battle", so he doesn't mind playing this game with the other party.He would know who put the Death Eaters in Hogwarts and trapped himself in the shell of a fifteen-year-old.

—and the answer he wanted was at Hogwarts.

He put his wand back into his pocket, wrapped his windbreaker tightly and walked out of Lihen Bookstore, thinking about how to sneak into Hogwarts to inquire in his mind.

I have changed my appearance, but the principal should not have taken back the authority open to me, so it is not difficult to get in... But this is not the same as telling people in the know, "Hi everyone, I am Kudo Shinichi. Although I have become smaller, I am Come and kill me if you're still alive."

Gee.

How can it be reasonable, reasonable and legal——

A fiery red phoenix swooped down from the sky, causing quite a commotion in the crowd, and landed lightly on his shoulder without any mistakes.Kudo's eyebrows began to jump.

Fox, the principal's phoenix, the spokesman for the light.

While bowing his head repeatedly to apologize to passers-by, he hastily turned into a dark village with few people, staring suspiciously at Fenghuang.

"...principal?" he asked tentatively.

Fawkes waved its fiery red wings, and slapped him moderately with a slap, and the long golden tail carried a gust of wind.

Kudo twitched the corner of his mouth: "...Sorry, Fox."

Fox proudly spun around in mid-air, rubbed Kudou's face affectionately to express closeness and forgiveness, and threw a kraft paper and phoenix feather into Kudou's hand by the way, patted his buttocks and walked away.

"...???"

If it wasn't the principal, who else could command this noble and mysterious phoenix?

Kudo shook the letter and began to read it.

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry

Principal: Albus Dumbledore (President of the International Federation of Magic, President of the Wizarding Association, first-class magician of the Merlin Sir Order)

Dear Mr. Edogawa,

We are pleased to inform you that you have been granted admission to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Students will report to the reception hall when they arrive, and the registration date will be notified separately.Due to your special situation, please wait for reception on the first floor of Gringotts Wizarding Bank after receiving the letter.

Enclosed is a list of required books and daily necessities.

Yours sincerely,

Professor McGonagall

Kudo Shinichi was at a loss for a while holding the letter.

This is an April Fool's joke... huh?

He read the letter again. Professor McGonagall's flamboyant signature and Hogwarts' unique magic seal clearly told him that this was not a joke, and he couldn't laugh or cry for a while.How many years have you graduated, and now you suddenly have to go back to study?

Well, although I don't know who wrote it, but this is indeed a reasonable and legal way to enter Hogwarts.

Kudo sorted it out quickly in his mind, and he wasn't very worried.Since it was a letter from Fox, at least he could confirm that the other party did not want to harm him.As the chief Auror, Kudo Shinichi is also confident that he can protect himself in the battle. Besides, Hogwarts is generally recognized as the safest place in the wizarding world. Death Eaters can't do anything wrong in it, at most they can do some small tricks. .

Thinking of this, Kudo turned his heels, put the letter and feathers into his pocket, and walked in the direction of Gringotts calmly.
