That night, Dana slept soundly.
Not since being locked in Azkaban had he slept so well!
Falling into a deep sleep, he vaguely returned to 5 Livingston Town.
The peculiarity of Dana's bloodline allowed him to clearly recognize that he was in a dream.
He reached out to grab the doorknob—the hand should have belonged to his five-year-old self, but it was trembling violently at this moment.
The doormat was clean and tidy, placed there squarely; even a patient in the late stages of obsessive-compulsive disorder would give a thumbs up and shout 'Good!' upon seeing it.
The older Dana felt his heart pounding violently. He couldn't wait to enter, but the dream version of himself had his own ideas; the small hand that had already grabbed the handle released it and shrunk back.
Not only that, but the five-year-old self even turned his head to walk away, although the scene was swaying, it was clear that the young Dana was already unsteady.
The sound of the door opening came from behind, and then he fell into a warm embrace—
"Dana!"
Anna's voice sounded very sad,
"You're already so sick, why are you still running around!"
The older Dana suddenly remembered that he had indeed been very ill for a period of time in his childhood, to the point of almost dying.
Just then, the young Dana spoke, his voice weak and powerless:
"Mom, I'm going to die soon, I don't want to see you sad, and if I die in front of you, I'm worried you won't be able to bear it, so, so..."
Anna turned the young Dana around, squatted down, and looked him in the eye:
"So you're planning to just run away? Don't you know that would make me even sadder?
Also, since you're going to leave, why did you come back?"
The older Dana greedily looked at his mother's face. Now she was so radiant! Being able to see his mother again in a dream made Dana inexplicably excited. Was this a reward for taking revenge on Donna today?
He only heard the young Dana stammer:
"I... I forgot to take my change of clothes."
Anna chuckled, hugged the young Dana, and kissed him loudly on the face,
"If you miss your mother, just say you miss your mother, why make such a mess of excuses!"
Anna picked up the young Dana and turned to enter the room,
"Don't think wildly, little one. People in our family will have this happen at this age. Just get through it."
Dana's consciousness re-experienced this scene. Although it was in a dream, he felt a pang in his nose.
The scene suddenly changed. Silently, Anna had already appeared with the young Dana in Dana's room.
Dana suddenly realized that Anna's ethereal Apparition without any hint of magic was not something an ordinary witch could do!
Anna gently placed the young Dana on the bed, and she stood in front of the bed. The sunlight from outside the window shone in, and Anna blocked it, making it impossible for Dana to see her face clearly, but he could feel that his mother was sad and resolute at this moment—perhaps at this time, his illness was already very serious.
"Sleep, child, you will be alright."
Anna gently patted the young Dana's heaving chest and began to murmur:
"Tempus sine vestigio, fatum est inordinatum..." [Time without a trace, fate is disordered...]
Hearing the spell, the young Dana's eyes gradually closed, and the world seemed to fall into silence.
But hearing that spell, the older Dana was suddenly shocked and woke up from his sleep!
He looked at the Gringotts crystal surrounding him, his consciousness quickly cleared,
Yes, he was now sleeping in Merlin's Secret Chamber.
He was not awakened by a crisis, but because he recognized the spell his mother had recited in the dream.
—The Art of Destiny.
The Art of Destiny recorded in Merlin's notebook.
The Art of Destiny that could change the fate of the target, but would consume more than 90% of one's own magic power and a large amount of flesh and blood essence.
No wonder his mother looked so weak in the following two years!
He originally thought his mother was sick, but now it seemed that it was clearly the backlash caused by using the Art of Destiny!
Dana began to recall his mother's actions when he was a child—things he had previously ignored were now being remembered one by one. Dana was surprised to find that the level of magic his mother had shown before he was five years old was at least ten times that of Lucius!
If it hadn't been for using the Art of Destiny, Donna Avery, John Flint, and Sally Avery would not have been able to do anything to her!
But at that time, his mother was already so weak that she couldn't even shout for help loudly out the window! And the young Dana was simply unable to resist two wizards and an adult Squib.
Dana couldn't understand why his mother, such a powerful witch, would marry an unknown wizard from the Avery family?
Saying this about his father might not be very good, but in fact, Dana's father's branch had almost died out before he was born, and shortly after he was born, his father was also killed by Death Eaters, so he didn't have many memories of his father.
Thinking of his frail mother dragging her inconvenient body, still having to travel back and forth to the Ministry of Magic, just so that he could be released from prison, Dana's heart ached terribly.
Avalon!
While taking revenge, he must not slow down the progress of finding Avalon.
Dana took a deep breath and lay down again, wondering if he could dream of his mother again today?
After tossing and turning for a while, Dana found that he couldn't sleep.
Calculating the time, it was already past midnight. Dana tried to summon:
"Merlin's path to Avalon."
This time it took a long time before parchment emerged from his palm, and not just one—
[Path One, has been destroyed.]
[Path Two, has been destroyed.]
[Path Three, the portal is not in its original position, searching...]
[Portal has been found, starting summoning...]
At this point, the parchment stopped emerging, which left Dana speechless.
How did the originally very individual Golden Finger suddenly become a strong system-style?
Is this the main account going offline and letting AI take over?
Thinking this, a new parchment popped out:
[Summoning failed, obstructed by power originating from Avalon, now informing portal address—underground of Whitehall, London.]
Underground of Whitehall, London?
Whitehall is a street in London, England. It connects the Houses of Parliament and Downing Street. On this street and its vicinity are some British government agencies such as the Ministry of Defence, the Foreign Office, the Home Office, and the Admiralty. Therefore, people use Whitehall as a synonym for the British administrative departments.
And coincidentally, the Ministry of Magic is located underground in Whitehall.
So the portal to Avalon was moved to the Ministry of Magic?
Dana immediately thought of the strange archway with a veil in the Department of Mysteries' Death Chamber.
That is, the portal Sirius Black fell into after being hit by the Killing Curse.
So that place can lead to Avalon?
Dana became somewhat uncertain.
After all, the people who entered that door have never returned.
