Having escaped famine, I was accepted into Hogwarts

“Oh, my apologies, my apologies,” Kane sighed. “Harry, you’ve really messed up his coffin.”

Harry was a little confused when he was reminded. He quickly picked up the shovel and, sure enough, he dug a big hole in a nearly rotten coffin.

"Oh! My bad." Harry hurriedly filled the soil that had just been shoveled back in, but in his moment of panic, he didn't realize that he had already punctured the coffin, so the soil he filled in was perfectly placed inside the coffin, making intimate contact with the person inside.

"........."

"........"

"What stupid thing did you do?"

"What stupid thing did I do?"

The two looked at each other in silence for a while, until Kane finally came over with his shovel and added another handful of soil to the coffin.

Harry stared in shock at Kane, who kept making the same mistake: "No?"

"Humans devoured the entire Earth's biosphere while they were alive, and even after they died, they still tried to escape the decomposers' punishment. That's really a bit greedy, so... you did the right thing."

Kane shrugged, finding a twisted reason to himself, and added fuel to the fire: "So what are you waiting for? Let's do it!"

Harry then realized what was happening and, while filling the grave with soil, looked at the tombstone, which told him that the person who rested there was named Tom Riddle.

“Mr. Tom Riddle, please don’t blame me. I was just trying to help you get back to nature as soon as possible. You’re welcome. It’s what I should do…”

Listening to Harry's devilish whispers from a short distance away, Kane sighed helplessly. He shouldn't have let Harry touch the shovel, not even for a moment.

But what's done is done. Harry has already done everything he should and shouldn't have done. What else can he say? He might as well keep digging up the grave.

It must be said that Little Hangleton's cemetery is very large. Kane started digging graves by himself in the morning and didn't finish digging all the graves until noon, except for Mr. Tom Riddle.

This guy with the same name as Voldemort was already pitiful enough to be beaten by Harry, the Coffin Breaker. Besides, he already had six gems in his two pockets combined. Let Mr. Tom Riddle escape this time.

As for Harry, he was sitting on a stone platform by the cemetery. He had already filled Tom Riddle's coffin with soil, and after doing so, he threw the shovel aside, not daring to make any further moves.

"Alright, Harry, our mission is almost complete. It's time to head back."

Kane straightened up and stretched hard, making a series of cracking sounds.

“Go back to the Dursleys? We’ll definitely go hungry.” Harry said helplessly, resting his chin on his hand.

“Why go back to the Dursleys? Let’s go straight back to Hogwarts.” Kane said, pulling the pocket watch-shaped Portkey that Dumbledore had given him from his pocket.

Having attended Hogwarts for so long, Harry naturally knew how to use the Portkey, and relieved, he quickly reached out and placed his hand on it.

A wave of dizziness washed over them, and the two found themselves on the shore of the Black Lake at Hogwarts.

"Wow, we're back already? Suddenly I feel like I wasted so much time on that long bus ride yesterday," Harry exclaimed.

"Okay, hurry back to the dorm. You get some sleep, and I'll get on with making what I need." Kane rubbed his face vigorously as he listened to Harry's words, after all, digging graves was a physically demanding job.

The two quickly returned to their dorm room. Ron was nowhere to be seen. The Christmas tree was already erected in the center of the room, and the Christmas presents were probably still on their way.

Of course, those belong to other people; Harry is the savior, and Ron has a family.

As for his Christmas present... Kane scratched his face...

Who says no one sends you Christmas presents? Does a Christmas present from the Eternal Realm not count as a Christmas present? Children of the Eternal Realm are naturally pampered by the Eternal Realm itself!

After confirming several times that the campfire on his bedside table wouldn't illuminate the Christmas tree, he nodded in satisfaction. Back in the Eternal Realm, every Christmas he would wake up to find gifts next to the Christmas tree.

Considering that the pumpkin and carving knife had chased him from the Eternal Realm during Halloween, he had good reason to suspect that Christmas presents would also fly from the Eternal Realm to find him.

As Harry's soft snores began to drift in, Kane, carrying the ruby ​​and sapphire, approached the spirit particle decomposer.

As the spirit particle decomposer was activated, a cool clicking sound followed, and a crystal-clear purple gem that seemed to possess magical power jumped out from the decomposer's large cap.

"Hey, lunch's ready too." Kane swiftly grabbed the rabbit, quickly roasted it, stuffed it into his mouth, and then began the process of making the Shadow Manipulator.

"One amethyst... three pieces of living wood, seven portions of nightmare fuel..."

Kane took a deep breath as the shadow manipulator, with a purple gem embedded in the center of the triangle, appeared in the bedroom.

The most exciting and anticipated moment has arrived!

Soon, as two books popped out of the Shadow Manipulator, Kane gave a confused "hmm," followed by a knowing "Ah~"

Clearly, the Shadow Blade and Shadow Armor underwent some terrible localization adjustments in the real world, transforming from pure equipment into magic. The advantage is that their potential is higher and they are easier to use.

The downside is... I haven't seen any downsides yet.

After opening the two books, the knowledge within flowed into his mind like water. The next moment, with just a thought, the shadow beneath his feet sprang forward like a panting cat.

Before Kane could react, a very thin slit was cut into the windowpane, from which cold white vapor was constantly being emitted.

The same goes for Shadow Armor. Unlike the armor used by older students, which requires a pre-cast animation of swinging a staff and chanting a spell, Shadow Armor can always transform into a gray-black light barrier to protect him whenever he needs it, if he so desires.

The fact that he could withstand 95% of the damage even gave him a sense of anticipation that he could swim in the raging flames.

Just as Kane had successfully acquired two powerful weapons and was immersed in the beautiful dream he had woven for himself, a shadowy creature slowly appeared behind him and gently touched him.

"?..!"

After swiftly eliminating the Shadow Monster, Kane once again pulled out his long-treasured top hat and put it on his head.

I spent the whole morning digging up graves and playing a couple of rounds of Shadow Magic. It seems my sanity level still isn't holding up very well.

After wearing the tall hat for a while, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now he still had two tasks: one was to test whether the flesh block statue could be used, and the other was to try to make a resurrection amulet.

However, crafting the resurrection amulet requires gold, which I don't have right now...

Just as he was fretting, Harry's snoring suddenly became louder for a moment.

Hmm... It's unethical, but... we have gold again!

Chapter Sixty: The Eternal Realm Sends Gifts to Its Runaway Child

Two hours later, when Harry woke up from the cold in bed and was about to ask Kane to make him some meatballs, he was somewhat surprised to see that Kane didn't seem to be on holiday at all. Instead, Kane was incredibly diligent and was already sitting at his desk writing something.

"Kane, honestly, isn't it the Christmas holiday season? Is it really necessary to be this busy?"

Harry said with a miserable expression, because it was really unpleasant to watch his good brother work hard while he himself wanted to work hard but didn't want to, so he could only lie in bed like a corpse.

Kane picked up the notebook he was working on and tossed it to Harry, who caught it, glanced at it, and looked at Kane with some shock.

Are you doing my homework?

Kane nodded as he heard Harry's trembling voice.

In that instant, Harry felt like he had just acted like a complete jerk, even though he hadn't used any harsh words, just a simple accusation.

But what if he's doing his homework?

What can I say? He even wants to kneel before Kane and start singing passionately.

Always taking from you but never saying thank you~

Just as Harry was immersed in what he called fatherly love, Kane suddenly coughed and said, "Harry, well, I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Harry asked.

“Um… I just used some of your stuff.” Kane pointed to the Galleon bag hanging above Harry’s bed.

Harry looked over and waved his hand dismissively: "It's just some Galleons, no big deal! My money is your money!"

He was so generous, it gave me the urge to even associate with him in the underworld.

However, Kane ultimately added a reminder: "You'd better take a look."

Although Harry didn't know why Kane said that, he still turned around and reached for the Gallon bag to see what was going on.

However, the mere act of turning around and lifting the blanket caused the Galon bag to tremble...

"...So...it's empty?" Harry stiffly turned his head and looked at Kane, saying in a low voice.

“Obviously, that’s why I’m doing your homework for you.” Kane said, then returned to his desk. As long as he didn’t turn around to look at Harry, Harry wasn’t angry.

This is about cosplaying as a turkey.

However, the expected screams from Harry did not come. Instead, there was an extremely calm voice: "We need to get more money when we go to Diagon Alley. Kane, you'll come with me then. Remember to bring your money bag."

Harry had barely finished speaking when Kane, who was doing his homework, began to sing softly, "Always wanting from you but never..."

"Uh, don't do that, I'm really not used to it." Harry shuddered with a look of disgust. "By the way, what did you do with all those Galleons?"

"They melted those Galonons into gold, trying to make something, but they failed."

Kane sighed helplessly. The Rebirth Amulet was formed in a split second, probably the instant he shaped it with his hands.

However, after that instant, for some unknown reason, starting from the ruby ​​in the center of the amulet, it suddenly shattered outwards.

One ruby ​​and three pieces of gold—these two items, which I used up one by one, were simply wasted.

“Is that so? How about we go to Diagon Alley with Hagrid before the holidays end?” Harry suggested.

Kane shook his head. After all, the fact that the Rebirth Amulet shattered was quite telling. The rules of the Eternal Realm couldn't be directly applied to the real world, which was understandable.

"Of course, it's also possible that my rubies aren't of good enough quality?" Kane murmured a rather unprofessional, even wildly imaginative, thought.

"Okay, you're talking in a way I don't understand again. Anyway, just tell me what you need and if I can do it." After saying that, Harry got out of bed and went to find something to eat.

"Thanks, your homework is all done." Kane said, tossing the last assignment to Harry, while he opened his cabinet to look at the meat sculpture he had made earlier.

After all, if even a high-level item like the Rebirth Amulet can't be used, then the flesh statue, a slightly less sophisticated method of rebirth...

Sure enough, the meat statue that was originally placed in the cabinet had now turned into a pile of rotting matter. Fortunately, it didn't smell and the house-elves hadn't taken it away.

Zi Ao~

Ron, looking utterly dejected, had just returned from the library. He remembered the task Hermione had given him before she went home: to find the name he'd heard from Hagrid—Nicolas Flamel.

Is it really possible for this name to exist? Maybe it's just a code name or something, like Project Nicolas Flamel, rather than a person's name.

Just as he was feeling helpless and puzzled as to why Hermione would assign him such a task, given that he always felt sleepy at the sight of letters, he suddenly noticed a brief moment of liveliness in the dormitory...

Raise your head again...

"Harry! Kane! What brings you back?"

Ron was incredibly excited and cheered.

"I was worried you'd be lonely at Hogwarts, so I came back to find you," Kane said, stretching.

"Stop kidding me, I'm serious. What's wrong with you guys? You only stayed home for one night?"

Looking at Ron's curious face, Kane and Harry told him that after arriving in London last night and successfully making the Dursleys' trip a waste, they went through a series of events similar to those in the movie "Lost in Thailand" and finally arrived in Little Hangleton, where they spent the whole morning digging graves before finally returning not long ago.
