Clear Rules

It was incredibly awkward.

Although Roger Davies was unreliable, he still did his part in helping Harry become the Seeker.

Moreover, after the match, Harry reflected on the entire event and realized that the other two Beater he initially thought were obstructing him, although their actions were unreliable—directly blocking the Bludger from the field—actually restrained Hufflepuff.

This tactic was also devised by Roger after studying Hufflepuff.

Harry didn't know because Harry hadn't joined the team yet, and Roger looked down on positions other than Chaser and Seeker, so he didn't mention it.

Roger's unreliability stemmed from insufficient training, which resulted in him not fully understanding Harry's abilities. Additionally, he was too fond of showing off, always dabbling in tactics and even adding unnecessary embellishments.

Now, Harry believes that he is the reason Roger was kicked out of the team.

"Come on, Harry, Roger Davies is too unreliable. So what if he designed those tactics and playing styles you mentioned? He even dares to block the Seeker."

"Furthermore, he neglected the goalkeeper. Has he ever devised any tactics against the goalkeeper?"

"This was all Jonny's decision, what does it have to do with you?" Ron comforted Harry, who couldn't eat.

After the match, Roger learned about Harry's performance from others and apologized to Harry, accepting Jonny's decision.

Meanwhile, Ryan sighed, "Roger is still too young."

In the original timeline, Jonny didn't leave early. He kept Roger in check throughout the season, helping him adapt and grow. In fact, he even defeated the Gryffindor Quidditch Team without Harry this school year, allowing the Slytherin Team to win the Quidditch Cup.

This meant that when he actually appeared later in the story, Harry didn't see him as a particularly outrageous person.

But now, Roger has become captain ahead of schedule. His immaturity has led to numerous mishaps in this game. He is also not used to working with overly skilled Seeker and has placed himself in the core position.

The other members of the Ravenclaw Team also impressed Ryan. Although they weren't particularly outstanding, they had strong execution skills and rarely questioned the captain's decisions, at most complaining off the field.

Especially that minor character, Dennis, was very decisive; he shot down his teammate Roger, allowing Harry to obtain the Golden Snitch.

However, now is not the time to think about that, as Harry Potter is currently in a low mood.

"Harry, do you know the origin of your surname?" Ryan's voice rang in Harry's mind, and sure enough, it temporarily relieved Harry's self-blame and shifted his attention.

"It evolved from Peverell. You said before, Ryan, that I am a descendant of the third son," Harry thought.

"That's true, but Potter is not Peverell's successor."

"Potter evolved from a nickname, 'the Potterer'."

"This nickname belongs to a 12th-century wizard Stinchcombe Stinchcomb Linfred, who invented Skele-Gro and Pepperup Potion. Harry, your Potions talent might partly come from him."

"Linfred's eldest son Hardwin, married a young witch from Godric's Hollow named Iolans Peverell. She was the granddaughter of Ignotus Peverell. Since there were no male heirs in her generation, she, as the eldest daughter, inherited her grandfather's Invisibility Cloak."

"From then on, the Invisibility Cloak was passed down from the eldest son of the Potter family to the next generation," Ryan continued.

"That's how the Invisibility Cloak came about, Ryan, what are you saying about this?" Harry asked, looking puzzled.

"I just saw you were unhappy, so I was trying to distract you."

"Harry, you're not the only one from the Potter family who survived," Ryan then thought.

"Who is it? I have relatives! So why won't Professor Dumbledore let me be adopted by them?" Harry thought.

"This news is not widely known; it happened more than three hundred years ago. Before 1693, one branch of the Potter Family immigrated to America. Abraham Potter was one of the descendants of this branch. After the MACUSA was established, Abraham was recruited by the first president of the France, Josiah Jack, as one of the first twelve Auror."

"Besides, they are only Potter's successors, not Peverell's. The Invisibility Cloak is far too precious. Harry, you are the rightful heir, Dumbledore probably considered that as well," Ryan explained in his mind.

Ryan himself only recently learned of this news.

Ryan never understood why killing each other in Peverell was taboo, or how this rule was determined. He could understand it before because of surnames, because of a specific person.

After all, Smith, Longbottom, and Potter were all from the same lineage, while the others were not the main force.

But when he found out that there was also a branch of Potter in America, Ryan was a little confused. So he deliberately brought it up to Harry Potter. Harry was in a low mood and was more easily influenced by Ryan. Ryan took this opportunity to use Potter's information network to search for that invisible law set by their ancestors who might be gods.

Now, he finally understood how the "self" in "mutual destruction" was calculated.

This is related to the Deathly Hallows. The rightful heir to the Elder Wand is the eldest son of the Longbottom family, but the Elder Wand is lost, which creates a bug. Also, one generation was born as twins.

One of them inherited some of the knowledge of making the Elder Wand, changed his surname to Smith, and has been studying Alchemy in secrecy.

The Invisibility Cloak and the Resurrection Stone were both inherited by the Potter and the eldest sons of the House of Gaunt, so no matter how many Potter there are, Harry is the only one who can be considered Peverell.

Neville is the same; he is Peverell.

As for Ryan himself, he's the only one in his family, so who else could it be?

Voldemort, also the eldest son of House of Gaunt, was Half-blood, but the magical name Peverell didn't emphasize that. He was the newest member of House of Gaunt, and Morfin Gaunt had no children.

Thus, Voldemort, before he lost his mind, inexplicably did not kill Morfin, thus avoiding the taboo of Peverell killing his own people.

But later, because he made too many Horcruxes and became too arrogant, he killed James Potter Horcrux even planned to kill Harry. The curse caused by the taboo and his unstable soul caused him to inexplicably create new Horcrux, which were rebounded by the Killing Curse. He also failed to realize that Harry was his Horcrux (even when he was face to face or even briefly possessed him).

"Ryan, why aren't you saying anything?" Harry wondered, looking at Ryan's sudden surprise.

"No, it's nothing. I was just thinking about something else. Harry isn't sad anymore, is he?" Ryan thought. "Alright, I'll head back to the common room then."

Meanwhile, Ron watched his friend Harry at the Great Hall table, his expression shifting from initial distress to surprise, delight, and finally, confusion.

"I hardly said anything, so how did Harry suddenly come to this conclusion?" Ron asked, taking a bite of his chicken leg in confusion.
