The Potter couple exchanged surprised glances.
Could that really be the case?
“Lily, if you don’t mind, I’d like to increase the amount of magic I’m using and examine the child once more.” Dumbledore spoke calmly.
Lily and James looked at each other before nodding.
Soon afterward, Dumbledore focused his magical perception again.
Inside the womb, Lucas felt another wave of discomfort.
Here it comes again.
Who’s bothering me this time?
Without hesitation, he condensed another invisible barrier, severing the outside world’s connection to himself.
“Oh ho ho…
It seems the little fellow is angry.” Dumbledore chuckled awkwardly.
He already had his answer.
The child Lily carried was someone truly extraordinary.
“My blessings to you both, dear James and Lily.” Dumbledore rose to his feet without making any further attempts.
Only joy remained in his eyes.
In the ranks of righteous wizards, another genius would soon appear.
No…
Possibly two.
He had already learned that Lily was carrying twins.
“Have you decided on the children’s names?
Forgive me for being so forward.” “Not at all.
We’ve already discussed it.
The child responsible for all these unusual phenomena will be named Charlie Potter, and the other will be Harry Potter.” James smiled.
“Wonderful names.
Hogwarts will be delighted to welcome them.” Dumbledore nodded with a smile before bidding the couple farewell and leaving.
[You sensed the scrutiny of a powerful wizard.
Through your God-Tier Comprehension, you have comprehended the Divine Perception Cultivation Method.] Charlie was pleasantly surprised.
(From this point onward, he will be referred to as Charlie.) Again?
Is this the benefit of Heaven-Defying Comprehension?
Charlie immediately absorbed the newly gained knowledge.
Not long afterward, the chaotic darkness surrounding him seemed to disappear.
As long as he willed it…
Everything happening around him became astonishingly clear.
He could distinctly sense his unlucky little brother still sleeping beside him.
He could feel the joy on his parents’ faces.
The layout of the entire room.
At last, he had established contact with the outside world.
So this is what it’s like to be a baby?
After such a long time, Charlie could finally perceive the world beyond the womb.
“Lily, we’re about to welcome an extraordinary child.” James was overflowing with excitement.
Every parent hoped their child would achieve greatness.
And now Dumbledore had given one of their children such an incredible evaluation.
Who wouldn’t be thrilled?
“Yes…
but James, I can’t shake this uneasy feeling.” “Don’t worry.
I’ll protect all of you.” James gently pulled Lily into his embrace.
Protect us?
Yeah, right.
Charlie rolled his eyes internally.
His biggest concern was still what would happen afterward.
According to history…
Not long after they were born, Voldemort would come knocking.
He would lose both parents almost immediately after entering the world.
Sigh…
…
Several months passed.
During that time, Charlie awakened more and more frequently inside the womb.
Every awakening caused another unusual disturbance.
The amount of magical power he could absorb each time had increased dramatically.
Even Lily’s appetite had been heavily affected.
She now had to eat several meals a day.
At last, the day of delivery arrived.
Another man appeared inside James and Lily’s home.
His eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings.
Sirius Black.
Harry’s future godfather.
At this point, he had not yet been arrested by the Aurors.
As James’s closest friend, he had volunteered to stand guard while Lily gave birth.
“Waaah!” A loud newborn cry echoed through the room.
The twins had been born.
Charlie came out first.
He didn’t cry.
Harry followed shortly afterward.
The moment he entered the world, he burst into loud sobs.
James beamed with happiness and immediately carried Harry over to Lily.
Then he noticed something strange.
He turned toward Charlie.
Why wasn’t this child crying?
Charlie sensed that something was wrong.
He quickly copied Harry’s example and began crying as well.
His voice rang out like a thunderous bell.
“Uh…
Lily, my dear…
our eldest really is quite extraordinary.” “As long as our children are healthy, that’s all that matters.” Lily had just given birth and looked exhausted.
Yet when she gazed at her two sons, her eyes overflowed with happiness.
Charlie slowly opened his eyes.
The light stung them painfully.
So this…
is the magical world.
After waiting for so long, he could finally see it with his own eyes.
…
Time passed.
Sirius visited frequently.
He often helped James and Lily care for the twins.
In the blink of an eye, another six months had gone by.
“Oh, James, look at Charlie!
He’s so aloof.
Completely different from Harry.” “Look!
He’s crawling toward your wand.” “Oh, my little prince, don’t tell me you want to use magic already?” Sirius burst into laughter.
Charlie’s actions were simply too amusing.
At that very moment, Charlie had already grabbed the wand and was waving it with surprising confidence.
A wand…
Charlie picked it up.
His eyes filled with curiosity.
So this was a wand from the magical world—the most important weapon of every wizard.
[You have touched a wand and sensed the flow of its magical power.
Through your God-Tier Comprehension, you have comprehended the Perfect Wand Compatibility Method.] As Charlie waved the wand, he felt it becoming increasingly compatible with him.
His movements grew smoother and smoother.
The blurred afterimages of the wand made Sirius’s expression slowly change.
“James!
Get over here!” “Hurry!
Something’s wrong with Charlie!” Sirius’s face changed dramatically.
Why were this baby’s wand movements becoming so practiced?
And what in Merlin’s name was that gathering magical power?
He was only an infant!
“Hurry, James!” Boom!
A deafening explosion suddenly rang out.
A blast of magical power shot straight toward Sirius.
Startled, Sirius instantly transformed into a massive black dog and leaped aside at full speed.
After landing, he stared at the spot he’d just vacated and swallowed hard.
The wall behind him had been blasted clean through.
Charlie…
That little brat had done that.
Just what kind of monster was this kid?
Harry couldn’t even play with mud yet.
Meanwhile, Charlie had already cast magic.
Bloody hell…
Good thing I dodged in time.
Otherwise, James would’ve been supporting me for the rest of my life.
