Harry suddenly understood why Meri had come here.
Her target was the Wizard King.
The young Wizard King.
His friend's death had driven the Wizard King out of his mind.
His rampaging magic was the clearest proof.
And the reason Meri had come here...
Was to kill the Wizard King!
It was something John never wanted to mention.
It was also the moment he had seen the injustice beneath Dumbledore's saintly mask.
His cold voice held not a trace of warmth.
Even before the world's greatest wizard and the headmaster of Hogwarts, John's tone remained icy.
And all of this had begun with Heinrich's death.
The black magic was like a mire.
One look told the experienced Legendary Auror that it was a mass of negative emotions caused by rampaging magic.
It was also a sign that an Obscurus was about to be born.
"Where are you, Meri?"
Harry had to subdue Meri before she changed the past.
No one knew what the future would become without the Wizard King.
If the Wizarding World were an essay, the Wizard King's rise would account for a third of it.
Remove that third, and even the most beautiful prose would become a jumble.
Harry focused all his attention on finding Meri.
That dangerous woman had used a Time-Turner to come here. She certainly hadn't come just to watch.
To kill the Wizard King.
Harry felt strange about the idea.
Even now, he wasn't sure whether he could defeat the John of 1995.
As sharp cracks rang out, Harry concealed himself more carefully.
The Silver Hand Johnny Security Team, which John had founded, appeared.
Even judging them as the Head of the Auror Office, Harry could say that the Security Team of this era was every bit as capable as modern Aurors.
