Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

For the current plan, it's to conceal the fact that Leaver possesses ancient magical traits as much as possible before investigating this matter thoroughly! To prevent him from suffering the same fate.

“But… Professor, how is such a strange thing possible?” Leaver still felt it was somewhat unbelievable. “And what is the purpose of that person doing this? If the goal is to erase someone's traces, what's the use of just erasing her name?”

Dumbledore frowned and said, “You're right, but I think that person's goal may not be as simple as just erasing her name. Although I've never heard of this spell, but… his initial goal should have been to erase her entirely! It's possible that something went wrong with the spell, resulting in only her name being erased, while not completely erasing her other traces…”

Erasing a person's name, while others… even the person themselves don't notice the name is gone… What if this spell were applied to the entire person?

Wouldn't that mean that the person would directly disappear into thin air, and then all traces of that person in this world would vanish, and even after the disappearance, no one would notice that person's disappearance?

The mere thought of this sends shivers down one's spine!

The evil nature of this kind of magic cannot even be simply described as Dark Magic.

“Are you worried that my next target will be me?” Leaver asked.

“Yes… Fortunately, not many people know that you possess ancient magic.” Dumbledore said.

In fact, he hadn't mentioned Leaver's possession of ancient magic to anyone.

So far, only he, Leaver, and Nagini, who has been listening in the cage, should know about this.

When asking Headmaster Dippet about that senior student, he only mentioned that he suddenly couldn't remember the senior's name, and didn't mention anything about Leaver.

Currently, it seems his caution is very necessary.

“Okay, I won't inquire or look into any information about that senior student anymore.”

Leaver was telling the truth, after all, checking information was originally just an excuse for him to get information from Dumbledore, so not looking into it doesn't matter.

If he really wants to know something, is there a more convenient way than directly asking the person involved?

“Good… this is also a last resort. However, it's better to leave this matter to me to investigate.” Dumbledore said.

In fact, after learning that the senior student might have encountered misfortune, it was impossible for Dumbledore to ignore it.

“Professor… please be careful… If things are impossible, then you must prioritize your own safety… You are truly too important to the wizarding world.” Leaver said with a slight unease.

Because of the existence of his butterfly wings, many things have already changed.

If there really is such a strange force, Dumbledore rashly investigating it, who knows what the consequences will be.

You need to know, if he hadn't reminded him, Dumbledore would never have noticed that the senior student's name had disappeared, and would not have actively investigated the senior student's name…

The current Dumbledore can be said to be one of Leaver's most important supports, he can't have anything happen to him now.

“Don't worry, I won't investigate them openly. I'll start secretly from that kind of magic… As long as I figure out what kind of magic it is that can erase people's names, then everything will be easy…”

Leaver nodded, researching magic wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion.

Of course, the premise is that his possession of ancient magic is not known to anyone for the time being.

If his possession of ancient magic is revealed, then Dumbledore researching that kind of magic is very likely to attract the other party's attention, thus alerting the enemy.

Therefore, the key to the matter still falls on him himself.

Leaver felt that he had to go find the senior student again tonight.

The person who erased the senior student's name, maybe the senior student knows some clues.

At the very least, she should have some idea of what trouble she has caused…

“Alright, let's continue talking about the second matter.” Dumbledore took out the cage containing Nagini. “Compared to the first matter, this second matter is considered a good thing.”

As Dumbledore spoke, he opened the cage.

The miniature Nagini slowly crawled out of the cage.

Leaver noticed that Nagini's eyes were clear at this time, no longer with the blood red tyranny of that night.

“She's awake?”

“In fact, it was your ancient magic that kept her awake.” Dumbledore said with a smile. “Precisely because of this, I didn't keep the matter of you possessing ancient magic a secret from her.”

“My ancient magic?” Leaver was somewhat puzzled.

“Yes.” Dumbledore nodded, and then recounted the conversation he had with Nagini at Newt's house, as well as his own conjecture.

After listening to Dumbledore's words, Leaver suddenly understood, no wonder the system said that he had successfully prevented Nagini's corruption, and then rewarded him with merit points.

“That is to say, as long as I constantly use ancient magic to strengthen this transfiguration spell for her, she can always stay awake.”

“Yes, no need to cast the spell repeatedly, just need to extend the duration of your transfiguration spell. Of course… you have to use your ancient magic power.” Dumbledore added.

Leaver sensed the ancient magic within his body.

After a night of recovery, his ancient magic, although not fully recovered, had recovered to about 70-80%.

Without a single mistake, starting with one, issuing one, inside one, containing one, watching one, at one, looking one!

“What do I need to do?” Leaver asked.

“This is not difficult, just like a normal transfiguration spell, but you have to use your ancient magic power to cast the spell, come, do it with me…”

Then, Dumbledore demonstrated to Leaver how to maximize the extension of the transfiguration spell on a transfigured object.

Leaver already had a very deep understanding of transfiguration spells, coupled with the guidance of Dumbledore, a transfiguration master.

He quickly used the power of ancient magic to successfully extend the transfiguration spell on Nagini, and, unlike the first time using this transfiguration spell, which required all of his ancient magic power, just extending the time didn't require much ancient magic power.

After Leaver successfully cast the spell with ancient magic, Dumbledore checked Nagini's physical condition again.

“It seems that every time your ancient magic is cast, it can weaken the soul of the transfigured person to a certain extent, and this weakening seems to be cumulative.”

“Because this transfiguration spell acts on Nagini's beast soul, therefore, each time you extend it, it can target and suppress the beast soul, without suppressing Nagini's soul as a human. Over time, it might really be able to annihilate the beast soul, thereby解除 the blood curse…”

“Are you planning to settle Nagini by my side?” Leaver asked.

Leaver could figure out Dumbledore's plan.

Dumbledore said, “Yes, only in this way can you extend the time of the transfiguration spell on her at any time. Moreover, I think this is also a good opportunity to practice ancient magic, more practice with ancient magic is good for you to truly master this power.”

A trace of worry appeared on Leaver's face, “But, maintaining ancient magic for a long time will also weaken her body, if it keeps extending like this, her body will also become weak and不堪 due to excessive weakening. Her human soul shares the same body as the beast soul…”

Dumbledore nodded, and then handed over a bottle.

“This is easy to handle, this is a nutritional potion, from the hand of Potion Master Professor Slughorn… We still have ways to solve the weakness of the body. Remember to ask me for more when you run out.”

“Okay…” Leaver took the nutritional potion, “But… if I often use ancient magic on Nagini, what if someone can see through the ancient magic on Nagini?”

“No, I used some means on her to cover up your ancient magic. Others can't see anything, even if they observe carefully, they can only see my magic on her. Let them think it's the transfiguration spell I used.” Dumbledore said confidently.

Sure enough, when Dumbledore makes some decisions, he always prepares everything, and tries to consider all aspects.

“Then how long can I maintain her transfiguration spell like this once I extend it?”

“About three days. So, don't forget the time.”
