Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil.

Chapter 53 Dumbledore: Back then, there was a senior schoolmate...

"No need... let's go back together." Aberforth's voice came from the woods.

He walked out of the woods carrying the pale-faced Aurelius on his back.

Aurelius' eyes were closed, but fortunately he was still breathing.

It looked as if he had just fainted.

He really is just as he said, he can still hold on and won't die...

……

In the blink of an eye, they all Apparated back to the Hog's Head Bar.

Aberforth carried Aurelius back to the attic.

Levitra was left by Dumbledore on the first floor of the tavern, and they sat together at the bar.

"I thought you might have something to explain to me," Dumbledore asked.

"Oh, tonight is really... a very thrilling night, Professor." Li Weide said with emotion.

He didn't lie. If his magic skills hadn't improved significantly recently, he would be in Nagini's belly now...

Dumbledore did not interrupt Levid and continued to listen quietly.

Levitra placed the cage containing Nagini on the bar.

"What is this?" asked Dumbledore.

In fact, Dumbledore wanted to ask Levitra what this was just now.

Because Li Weide had been holding the cage and never let it go.

"What's inside is Nagini," said Levitra.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Dumbledore quickly looked at the cage again.

Sure enough, a small green snake was seen in the dense gaps of the cage.

"what on earth is it?"

Li Weide said: "I met her in the Forbidden Forest, and then she started to attack me... In the end, I controlled her, shrunk her with Transfiguration, and locked her in a cage."

Dumbledore looked at Levid in surprise.

Li Weide's calm tone just now... seemed as if he had no idea how shocking what he said was!
Dumbledore had picked up a piece of Nagini's scale in the sewer before, so he knew very well that Nagini's current size was many times larger than it was back then.

For an eleven-year-old little wizard, facing such an extremely aggressive giant snake, there was no hope of escape no matter how hard he thought!
But now, Levitra said that he not only controlled her, but also used transfiguration to shrink such a huge snake to its current size?
It’s ridiculous just thinking about it!

However, Dumbledore was not the kind of professor who would easily deny his students.

"Logically, you shouldn't have the ability to escape from Nagini...Did Aurelius help you?"

Livid shook his head, "No, Aurelius had already left when I was confronting Nagini."

"So you dealt with Nagini by yourself, and you were able to control her?"

"Well, yes." Li Weide nodded.

At this time, Dumbledore did not ask any more questions, but gently touched the cage made of vines with his hand.

The cage was opened instantly and turned into vines again.

When the vines fell on the bar, they turned into yellow leaves...

Obviously, these fallen leaves are the original state of the cage.

Dumbledore guessed that if what Levitra said was true, then he should have turned the fallen leaves everywhere on the ground in the Forbidden Forest into strong vines and then controlled Nagini.

Only then can the immobilized Nagini be shrunk...

Dumbledore quietly observed the little snake that was still in a coma on the bar, poking the snake's body with his fingers from time to time.

Before long, the look of surprise on Dumbledore's face became more and more intense.

Because after careful inspection, Dumbledore discovered that this was actually Nagini!

Moreover, the Transfiguration that shrunk Nagini's size was so violent that even Dumbledore was shocked.

How could Levitra use such a strong Transfiguration? "This is indeed Nagini... How did you do it?" Dumbledore shifted his gaze from Nagini to Levitra's face.

Just as he shifted his gaze, the fallen leaves on the bar moved again and turned into a sturdy cage, locking Nagini inside.

Levid was amazed by Dumbledore's Transfiguration, which was performed with incredible precision without even the need for casting a spell.

"This brings us to the reason why I'm going to the Forbidden Forest tonight." Li Weide took out the lighter from his pocket. In his eyes, the lighter was still emitting a bright blue light.

"Professor, can you see the blue light up there?"

Dumbledore shook his head; he saw no blue light from the lighter.

"Sure enough...even you can't see it?" Li Weide said with a little disappointment.

"What exactly is this? And why does it have anything to do with your going to the Forbidden Forest tonight?" asked Dumbledore.

So, Li Weide told the story of how he went to the junk shop that day and accidentally found the lighter.

Of course, the purpose of going to the junk shop has changed from buying old wands to looking for some magic manuscripts.

Don't tell Dumbledore if you're buying an old wand or anything like that.

"A blue light that only you can see...can you show me the lighter?" Dumbledore asked.

Li Weide handed over the lighter.

Dumbledore took the lighter and examined it carefully.

"Although I can't see the blue light, I do feel traces of ancient magic on it..." Dumbledore returned the lighter to Levitra. "There is no doubt that this lighter once had an ancient magical power, but it no longer exists."

"I see... Tom said he couldn't see the blue light, and the clerk couldn't see the blue light either. I thought it was strange, so I bought it back." Levitra adjusted his brain block and continued, "After I came back, I also asked Mr. Aberforth, and he also said he didn't see it. So, I plan to put it aside, and then ask you when you come."

Dumbledore nodded and motioned for Levitra to continue.

Li Weide continued, "When I was sleeping tonight, I vaguely saw this lighter open by itself, and then the flame inside flew out and flew out of the window. So... I followed it, and unknowingly, I came to the Forbidden Forest..."

Dumbledore said seriously: "You shouldn't do such a dangerous thing, Wade, you should at least find Aberforth. What if you are in danger?"

"Sorry, professor, I was very curious at the time...so I didn't think too much about it." Li Weide showed an embarrassed look on his face.

"Alas... I'm glad you're okay now. But you must learn from this incident." Dumbledore said helplessly. "Although you haven't enrolled yet, I feel that you will most likely be sorted into Gryffindor..."

Livid's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "Do Gryffindor students often go to the Forbidden Forest at night?"

"Uh... of course not. I just said... forget it, you will know when you enter school. Go on." Dumbledore quickly changed the subject.

So, Li Weide continued: "...At that time, I followed the flame all the time, and then found a glass bottle in a secret place in the Forbidden Forest. The bottle contained a strange-looking mist. It was black with a hint of red, and there was also a flash of blue light..."

The highest level of lying is half truth and half lie. With the cover of the brain-blocking technique, Dumbledore did not arouse any suspicion.

Dumbledore couldn't help but frown when he heard about such a strange bottle. Generally speaking, things like this are closely related to dark magic...

"Is the bottle still there?" Dumbledore asked quickly.

"Uh... it broke during the confrontation with Nagini..." Levitra rummaged through his pockets, poured out some broken glass, and placed it on the bar. "As for the mist in the glass bottle..."

Li Weide's expression became a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare to.

"Wade, come on, you should believe me, right?" Dumbledore comforted Wade.

"Hmm..." Li Weide seemed to be relieved, and then continued: "The mist seemed to penetrate into my body, and then, I felt... I felt that I was filled with some strange power. I had an urge to vent all this power. Then..."

Livid pointed at Nagini and said, "I shrunk her."

After hearing what Levid said, Dumbledore's face showed some doubt and confusion. Then, he waved his hand gently, and the glass fragments floated over and landed in his palm.

Dumbledore moved closer to the shards of glass, examining them so closely that his nose was almost touching them.

After a long while, Dumbledore finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Levitra with a strange look. "The traces of magic left on the glass fragments are exactly the same as those on the lighter... But maybe this is a good thing."

"Good news?" Li Weide, who had made up such a lie that he almost believed it himself, was slightly stunned when he heard it.

"If I'm not mistaken, you have the ability to use ancient magic!" Dumbledore's eyes revealed a trace of reminiscence, "When I first started school, I heard that there was a senior who had just graduated. She was very capable and made a great contribution to Hogwarts at that time. Later, after I became a professor, I occasionally learned some things about her from Principal Dippet..."

Dumbledore looked at Levitra with joy, "If I'm not mistaken, you, like her, also possess the ability to use ancient magic!"

"Ah? Your senior?"
