Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 304 Eckeris = Aquarius? Family Background!

Dudley and Dumbledore had been closely watching Ecclesia's movements; if they hadn't failed to detect any unusual activity from Voldemort's main spirit, they would have already taken action.

Fortunately, it was a close call, and they didn't have to make a big fuss on their special day.

The festive Christmas dinner was drawing to a close. The Hogwarts students and teachers had eaten and laughed to their hearts' content, and were now just waiting to return to their dormitories to send and receive gifts.

Seeing this, Dumbledore promptly announced the end of the dinner, instructing the students to find their prefects and return to their respective house lounges.

The professors and school staff in the faculty and staff seats also stood up and began to leave.

Dudley led Harry, not in a hurry to return to the Gryffindor common room.

He subtly shifted his gaze within his eye sockets, using his X-ray vision to keep track of Snape and Ecclesia's whereabouts, while preparing to search for Sirius.

He had just seen that Eckeris made her unusual movement after she spotted Sirius.

But before he and Harry could set off, Sirius and Lupin walked towards them with smiles on their faces.

On Christmas Eve, these two friends of Harry's father will come to offer their blessings, mainly to Harry, and also to Dudley.

As for the gift, I'll have to mail it to you via owl after I get back.

Don't ask why, it's all about the sense of ritual.

Dudley wasn't one for formalities, and besides, he wanted to keep track of Ecclesia and watch Snape push her back to the intensive care unit.

So, after a brief exchange of blessings, Dudley asked Sirius, "Do you know Professor Urcrète?"

Sirius was taken aback by Dudley's words. He looked in the direction Dudley was looking and caught a glimpse of Snape leaving the Great Hall and Ecclesia sitting in her magical wheelchair.

"Oh, you mean that dizzy, unlucky female professor? I don't know her."

Sirius replied in a low voice, "However, I feel there's a special kind of warmth about her. Don't get me wrong! I don't mean to steal Professor Snape's girlfriend."

It was a feeling that was hard to describe, like the feeling I had when I saw my family and relatives when I was a child.

Speaking of which, Professor Eckeris's name is somewhat similar to our Black family name, but there are still some differences.

We name our family members after a star in the sky, like my name, which is taken from Sirius.

And this female professor…

Dudley listened to about half of Sirius's words and then understood what he couldn't figure out before. He quickly activated his True Name Detection and Hogwarts full map sensing abilities to verify his ideas.

He hurriedly said goodbye to Sirius and Lupin, and led Harry to catch up with Snape and Ecclesia at a distance.

In fact, long ago, Dudley and Dumbledore learned that Eckeris carried a family mission whose full details were unknown by exploring the memories in Eckeris's memory bottle.

I know that the reason why Ecclesia, this wizard who returned from overseas, came back to England was mainly to fulfill this family mission.

However, after Ecclesia returned to England, she quickly boarded Voldemort's ship of treachery, and the family mission was repeatedly delayed by the series of events that followed, leaving her with no opportunity to address it.

Dudley and Dumbledore secretly controlled Ecclesia and Voldemort's main souls, so they didn't care about Ecclesia's vague family mission and didn't investigate it in depth.

Because this has nothing to do with them, nor does it affect the important things they have been doing all along.

It wasn't until today, until just now, when Dudley heard Sirius's words, that he made the connection.

Sirius Black, whose name is pronounced 'Sirius'.

Therefore, if it is a translation, Sirius Black can also be transliterated as Sirius Black.

Erkris is also a transliteration.

In English, this pronunciation means... Aquarius!

No wonder!

No wonder that on the night Eclis ventured into the Forbidden Forest to collect unicorn blood, Aurora Sinesta, the astronomy professor who was leading her students in astronomical observation, warned her to excuse herself from class to track down Eclis's Dudley...

It was said that the ruling planet of Aquarius showed signs of dimming that night, and unfortunately, Daryl could not observe it.

No wonder!

No wonder that when Dudley, Dumbledore, and Hagrid found Erkris in the Forbidden Forest that night, after she was being ravaged by a herd of unicorns, they vaguely saw her casting a strange spell, drawing upon starlight to create a protective barrier for herself.

No wonder!

No wonder when Ursy saw Sirius's face at the dinner party earlier, she suddenly snapped to attention and excitedly whispered something in Snape's ear.

It turns out that everything has a traceable origin.

Eckeris's family is also related to the stars, and family members are likely named after constellations!

Moreover, Eckeris's family must have some connection with Sirius Black's family!

These were the thoughts Dudley quickly came up with when he heard Sirius say that he felt a sense of kinship with Ursy.

Then, Dudley used his ability to find out Eckeris's full name.

“Ercris Black Hunter!”

So that's how it is! One of Eckeris's ancestors was from the Black family!

British people, or rather, people from many other countries, have very long full names.

This is because they would add names or surnames that were very meaningful to themselves, their families, or their in-laws to the names of their descendants, passing them down from generation to generation and continuing to add to them, resulting in increasingly longer full names.

For example, Old Dumbledore's name is Albus, his short name is Albus Dumbledore, and his full name is Albus Percival Woolflick Bryan Dumbledore.

Dudley merged with Marauder's Map and gained the ability to see real names, but he usually only sees the abbreviations of other people's names and doesn't look at their long and complicated full names.

Only now did he learn about the secrets of the Eckeris family, which he had previously paid no attention to.

Dudley knew that the Black family was a family that had long adhered to the idea of ​​pure-blood supremacy and regarded Muggle blood as the dirtiest thing.

This situation continued until the current generation finally came to an end.

Because now, the Black family only has Sirius Black as their sole 'rebellious' heir.

Pure-blood families all have family trees, which are similar to tree diagrams in the form of genealogies, recording the family members and their in-law relationships throughout the generations.

The same goes for the Black family.

However, on the Black family tree, the names of all members with Muggle blood were destroyed.

This means that these people have been expelled from the Black family.

This also means that all the members of the Black family who had been expelled from the family line were now being expelled.

The first generation ancestor of the branch of the family to which Eckeris belongs must have been one of the members of the Black family who were expelled.

As for why Dudley was so certain, besides the fact that Eckeris's full name contained the family name Black, it was also because...
