Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

Chapter 59: A Strange Magic More Evil Than Dark Magic

The best plan now is to hide the fact that Theo has the characteristics of ancient magic before this matter is clarified! Avoid him suffering the same fate.

"But... Professor, how can such a strange thing be done?" Theo still felt a little incredible. "And what is the purpose of that person doing this? If you want to erase a person's traces, what's the use of just erasing her name?"

Dumbledore frowned and said, "You're right. But I think that person's purpose may not be as simple as erasing her name. Although I've never heard of this magic, I think his original purpose should be to erase the whole person! It's possible that something went wrong with this magic, which is why only her name was erased, and not all her other traces were erased..."

Erasing a person's name, and others... even the person involved didn't notice the name was gone... What if this magic worked on the whole person?

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

This was chilling to even think about!

The evil of this magic could not even be simply described as dark magic.

"Are you worried that that person's next target will be me?" Theo asked.

"Yes... Fortunately, not many people know that you know ancient magic." Dumbledore said.

In fact, he had not mentioned to anyone that Theo knew ancient magic.

So far, only he, Theo, and Nagini, who was listening in the cage, should know about this.

When asking Headmaster Dippet about the senior, he only said that he suddenly couldn't remember the senior's name, and did not mention anything about Theo.

At present, his caution was very necessary.

"Okay, I won't ask or check any information about the senior in the future."

Theo was telling the truth. After all, checking information was just an excuse for him to get information from Dumbledore. It didn't matter if he didn't check.

Was there a more convenient way to find out anything than asking the person directly?

"Okay... this is also a last resort. But I'll take care of this matter." Dumbledore said.

In fact, after learning that the senior might have been killed, it was impossible for Dumbledore to ignore it.

"Professor... please be careful... If things can't be done, then your own safety must be the priority... You are really too important to the wizarding world." Theo said a little uneasily.

Because of his butterfly effect, many things had changed.

If there was really such a strange force, Dumbledore rashly investigated, he didn't know what the consequences would be.

You know, if he hadn't reminded him, Dumbledore would never have noticed that the senior's name had disappeared, and would not have taken the initiative to investigate the senior's name...

The current Dumbledore could be said to be one of Theo's most important support, and he couldn't have an accident now.

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

Theo nodded. It was true that studying magic would not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Of course, the premise was that no one knew that he knew ancient magic for the time being.

If it was leaked that he knew ancient magic, then Dumbledore's research on that magic was likely to attract the other party's attention, thus alerting the enemy.

Therefore, the key to the matter still fell on himself.

Theo felt that he had to find the senior again tonight.

The senior might know something about the person who erased her name.

At the very least, she should know what trouble she had caused...

"Okay, let's continue talking about the second thing." Dumbledore took out the cage containing Nagini. "Compared to the first thing, the second thing is a good thing."

Dumbledore said, opening the cage.

The miniature Nagini slowly crawled out of the cage.

Theo noticed that Nagini's eyes were clear at this time, and no longer the blood red and violent of that night.

"She's awake?"

"In fact, it's your ancient magic that keeps her awake." Dumbledore smiled. "That's why I didn't keep it a secret from her that you know ancient magic."

"My ancient magic?" Theo was a little confused.

"Yes." Dumbledore nodded, and then told him about his conversation with Nagini at Newt's house, and his guess.

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

"That is to say, as long as I keep using ancient magic to strengthen this Transfiguration for her, she can stay awake."

"Yes, there is no need to repeat the spell, just extend the time of your Transfiguration. Of course... you have to use your ancient magic power." Dumbledore added.

Theo felt the ancient magic in his body.

After a night of recovery, his ancient magic had not fully recovered, but it had also recovered a lot.

"What should I do?" Theo asked.

"This is not difficult, just like ordinary Transfiguration. However, you have to use your ancient magic power to cast spells. Come on, do it with me..."

Then, Dumbledore demonstrated to Theo how to extend the Transfiguration on a Transfigured object to the maximum.

Theo's understanding of Transfiguration was already very deep, coupled with the guidance of Dumbledore, a master of Transfiguration.

He soon used the power of ancient magic to successfully extend the Transfiguration on Nagini. Moreover, unlike the first time he used this Transfiguration, which required all the power of ancient magic, it didn't take much power of ancient magic to extend the time.

After Theo successfully used ancient magic to cast spells, Dumbledore checked Nagini's physical condition again.

"It seems that every time you use ancient magic to cast spells, you can weaken the soul of the Transfigured person to a certain extent. This weakening seems to be superimposed."

"Because this Transfiguration works on Nagini's beast soul, every time you extend it, you can specifically suppress the beast soul without suppressing Nagini's human soul. Over time, you may be able to annihilate the beast soul, thus unlocking the curse..."

"Do you want to settle Nagini with me?" Theo asked.

Theo had figured out Dumbledore's plan.

Dumbledore said, "Yes, only in this way can you extend the Transfiguration on her at any time. And I think this is a good opportunity to practice ancient magic. Practicing ancient magic more is also good for you to truly master this power."

Theo's face showed a trace of worry, "But maintaining ancient magic for a long time will also weaken her body. If you keep extending it like this, her body will also be too weak to bear. Her human soul shares a body with the beast soul..."

Dumbledore nodded, then handed over a bottle.

"This is easy. This is a nutritional potion made by Potions 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..." Theo 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 I used." Dumbledore said confidently.

Sure enough, Dumbledore always prepared everything when making decisions, and tried to consider all aspects.

"Then how long can I extend her Transfiguration like this?"

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