HP: I just wanted to drop out of school, but I saved the world

Chapter 162 The mystery of life experience (1)

"Bang-bang-ziz-"

Coming from the neighbors, there was a constant sound of renovations and wall smashing.

It's strange that Muggles are willing to move into such a dirty place.

Snape thought with some confusion.

He has mastered the silencing spell to perfection for this purpose.

He grabbed his wand and waved it around casually before turning over and choosing to go back to sleep.

"Bang—bang—ouch—hiss—"

Why hasn't the sound stopped yet?

Was his spell cast in the wrong place?

Snape frowned and waved his wand again -

The world is quiet.

Snape closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when a thought suddenly popped into his mind -

Was there a human voice saying "ouch" mixed in with the sound of the renovation just now?

He opened his eyes suddenly and listened carefully to the movement——

However, he found that the "hissing" sound of pain seemed to come from inside his house!

Snape put on his robe and rushed out of the bedroom. When he looked closely, he was stunned -

His fireplace exploded!

The earth which had sealed the fireplace was scattered all over the floor, and the partitions and broken bricks flew all over the room!

The man who was sitting in the mess was holding his waist and groaning. One of the legs of his glasses was broken and half hung on his ear.

His face and robes were covered in brown-black dirt and dust, and a few tiny, biting cabbages were hanging from his arms and hands.

That was none other than his boss, Albus Dumbledore!

......

When Jian Yu came down the stairs sleepily, she saw Snape smearing distilled spirit on Dumbledore's face.

She was surprised to find that Dumbledore's face was covered in bruises and reds, as if he had suffered some injuries.

Who could hurt Dumbledore?

She glanced around -

Saw the exploded fireplace.

Case solved.

"What a creative way to welcome someone!" Dumbledore tried to save his dignity with a wry smile. "Very interesting - asking the guests to dig holes in the ground instead of walking through the fireplace - I really didn't expect that!"

Both Jian Yu and Snape looked at him with strange eyes.

"Okay, okay." Dumbledore raised his hands in surrender. "It seems that you are having a great time here! But if you don't mind, Severus, I have to take the child to London."

Jian Yu realized that she was being taken to solve the mystery of her life experience.

"Of course." Snape even bowed slightly. "I must obey the orders issued by our great headmaster. After all, his humble subordinate still has to repair the exploded fireplace here-"

Dumbledore was so embarrassed that he touched his nose and sighed that Snape's skills in being sarcastic had really reached a new level.

……

After the Apparition—

Jane Yu found herself and Dumbledore standing on an old-fashioned street in London.

There didn't seem to be many people here, and the surrounding buildings were very old. Occasionally a few Muggles hurried by, but they ignored them.

She realized that Dumbledore had cast some spell to make her invisible to them.

The two walked along the sidewalk and came to a rusty iron gate.

The iron gate opened automatically under the spell, revealing a bare, uninhabited courtyard. Behind the courtyard was a square, gloomy and old-fashioned building surrounded by high railings.

Judging from their dilapidated appearance, the houses have become dangerous buildings and will soon be demolished and renovated.

Several Muggle workers were drinking and swinging hammers weakly. They all looked drunk:

"When will this be demolished? Next month...it will be converted into an office building..."

Dumbledore waved his wand, and the Muggles' eyes wandered for a moment, then they dropped their hammers and drills:

"Let's go! It's still early, why don't we go to the pub and have a drink!"

They went off with mutterings, and Dumbledore led Jane up the steps and into the entrance hall.

All the furniture here has been moved away, the house is empty, the walls are peeling off in large pieces, and the ground is covered with white ash and dust.

"I haven't been here for a long time, and of course, neither have you."

Dumbledore uttered a long sigh.

An inexplicable feeling of attraction made Jian Yu move her feet uneasily, but she was unable to capture the fragments of this place from her long memory.

They continued to walk down the stairs and entered the underground floor, but Jian Yu felt that the sense of attraction was getting stronger and stronger.

Dumbledore withdrew his hand from pushing open the basement door and stopped.

"I think before you see that thing...I still need to prepare you mentally, Yu."

His blue eyes were full of confusion, as if he was thinking about how to start. He was silent for a while and then said:

"I wonder if you still remember what Aberforth said when you first met him..."

"I denied it at the time because I was afraid you would remember those fears...but..."

"You were indeed once an Obscure."

This thunderbolt almost caused Jian Yu's brain.exe to stop running. After a while, she responded:

"So this is why my Boggart...became an Obscurus?"

Dumbledore nodded and continued:

"Before the summer vacation, you asked me how I took you away from the orphanage... I think I can answer you this question now."

"That day, as usual, I came here to pick you up for school."

He seemed to be lost in distant memories, and spoke while thinking:

"Just like more than 50 years ago, this place is still as gloomy and depressing. The dean regards magic as a demon and a madman..."

"Fortunately, the Confusion Charm is very effective in dealing with this situation... I saw you and you hardly spoke. The situation was not optimistic."

He then turns to some theoretical knowledge about the Obscurus and the Obscurus:

"As you know, few Obscurials survive past the age of 10. There has been no successful case of curing an Obscurial in history."

"But I can see your desire to live... I realize that maybe you still have a chance... I want to try."

"I've done a lot of research... If we can replace self-loathing with a sense of belonging and companionship, maybe we can save the Silent Ones."

He paused, his mouth and eyes drooping, looking very sad:

"When I told you about magic and the existence of Hogwarts, I saw that you were seeking acceptance, but you were also extremely miserable."

"I don't want to hand you over to the Ministry of Magic... You exploded, and I can only report to them that it was a magical riot by a little wizard."

"I stayed around here for a while, came to see you every day, and separated you from the dean--"

"Your condition was getting better, and the silent attacks almost stopped. Finally one day, you asked me to save you."

Jian Yu gradually pieced together the true story from his words:

"So you...helped me get rid of the Obscurus?"

Dumbledore nodded and pushed open the door to the basement, which was cast with various secrecy spells and Muggle-repelling spells.

Jian Yu held her breath. She saw a ball of ink-like silence floating in the magic energy field.

It was very quiet, and there was no sign of violence, perhaps because it was out of her body...

But her soul felt an extreme attraction, as if only by touching it could she be complete.
