The years of welding at Hogwarts

Originally, he thought that Shirley was just unconscious because of the magic riot that overdrew her mental power, but as he used magic to carefully sense the girl's physical condition, his expression became more and more solemn.

Looking at Dumbledore's appearance, Noah's heart gradually became heavier.

Dumbledore shook his head slightly, and said in a very serious tone, "No, Miss Snape doesn't look like she is not in any serious condition. On the contrary, her condition is very serious."

Noah:! ! !

Chapter 175 The Silent One

"Noah, he's just a child, that's all! But I didn't expect you, Dumbledore, to be such a grown up! And yet you're still acting like a child!"

In the school infirmary on the second floor of the castle, Madam Pomfrey stood with her hands on her hips, her hair standing on end like an angry lioness, and she scolded the two culprits, Dumbledore and Noah, so hard that they could not even raise their heads.

Facts have proved that when a doctor is angry, even the patients of high status have to listen obediently.

Just like it is now.

Faced with the furious Madam Pomfrey, Dumbledore and Noah, the two culprits who caused more than 30 students to catch colds and one to fall into a coma, could only nod in agreement.

What Hogwarts Headmaster?

Even if the president of the International Confederation of Wizards came, he would have to be scolded.

Although these two are the same person.

Fortunately, the pain only lasted less than a minute.

The school infirmary had not been so crowded for a long time, which made Madam Pomfrey, who had not experienced such a scene for a long time, a little flustered.

She couldn't spare even one extra second to scold these two bastards.

Looking at the hard-working Madam Pomfrey, Noah and Dumbledore, who were standing obediently by the wall and not daring to move, exchanged glances with each other.

They both saw a hint of relief in each other's eyes.

"Poppy, let me help too."

Madam Pomfrey, who was busy examining Shirley, turned around and glared at Dumbledore, but did not reject his proposal.

A ball of white fluorescence appeared on the old wand in Dumbledore's hand, spreading out like water ripples, and swept across the large group of students in the infirmary who were shivering from the cold and huddling together for warmth.

This layer of light is not bright, but it appears extremely warm, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling, just like taking a nice hot bath after a whole day of hard work.

The students' faces, which had turned a little pale due to hypothermia, were recovering rapidly at this moment.

In less than two seconds, the group of noisy students in the school infirmary regained their former vitality, except for some aftereffects of runny nose and sneezing.

Noah was not idle either.

Although Snape had only taught him potions for a few days, preparing cold potion was not a difficult task.

The hardworking house-elves in the kitchen brought some potion ingredients from the locker in the basement classroom for Noah, who was unable to leave.

With some of Madam Pomfrey's stock, Noah began to mix cold medicine on the spot in the school infirmary.

With Hermione's help, a large pot of hot cold medicine was soon ready.

Standing in front of a steaming pot, holding a large spoon in his hand, Noah suddenly felt that he was a bit like an official who distributed porridge to refugees during famine in ancient times.

Everyone line up! Everyone gets a share!

As he spoke, Noah slapped a large spoonful of potion into the bowl in the hand of the little wizard at the front of the team.

The little wizards who received the potion drank it up in one gulp. Just like the front of an old steam locomotive, white steam suddenly spurted out of their mouths, noses and ears.

As the steam sprayed, the little wizards' faces regained their rosy color.

When the last student left the school clinic, Noah

Pulling Dumbledore to the corridor outside the school infirmary.

He looked at the old man in front of him with a serious expression, "You just said that Shirley's health condition is not optimistic. What's going on?"

Without directly answering Noah's question, Dumbledore's eyes showed a hint of reminiscence.

"Do you know Obscurus?"

Silently?

That's very knowledgeable.

During the era when the witch hunt was most prevalent, many young wizards chose to suppress their magical powers in order to avoid persecution from Muggles because they did not receive protection from the magical community.

Because the growing power in the body lacks an outlet, this repressed power will reach its peak one day and get out of control, evolving into a parasite called Obscurus.

Or when a wizarding child suffers extreme emotional pain due to physical or psychological abuse, the dark parasitic magical force known as the Obscurus may also be born.

Although out-of-control power is strong, it can also erode the life of the host.

This is what Dumbledore called the Obscurus.

"You don't mean to say that Shirley is an Obscure? But she..."

Not having received the protection of adult wizards, being persecuted by Muggles, or having experienced some great stimulation, Shirley did not meet any of these conditions.

"There are many reasons for the birth of the Obscurus, and it is still a big mystery in the wizarding world."

Dumbledore shook his head. "What you know is only a small part of the many reasons why it was created."

"for example?"

"For example, if one has a strong magical talent, even if he becomes a formal wizard apprentice, the daily consumption of magic practice cannot match the rapid growth of magic power."

Noah silently absorbed the information revealed in Dumbledore's words. He spread out his palms and said, "You don't mean to say that Shirley's magical power is actually very strong?"

"exactly."

Dumbledore folded his hands in front of him, looking out the window without any emotion in his eyes. "And that child also experienced great psychological trauma when he was a child."

"It's just that she was protected so well by Severus that she gradually forgot the painful memory in her later life."

Shirley? She's been traumatized?

Until now, Noah still thought that Shirley was a smaller Lily cloned by Snape using Lily's body cells, so he naturally could not understand what Dumbledore said.

Given the old bat's devotion, how could he possibly let Shirley suffer any harm in the process of growing up?

"I don't understand, Professor."

"You still don't know the true origin of Shirley's child, right?"

Real life story? Wait!

"Didn't Professor Snape use Lily's cells to clone an embryo and then find a surrogate mother? Could she be the Potters' biological daughter?"

In the face of Noah's disbelief, Dumbledore nodded slowly.

Good man, it turns out you are this kind of person, old bat.

It’s okay to covet someone else’s wife. After all, no matter how you look at it, you were the first one to get here.

But now you are secretly taking someone else's daughter away and bringing her back to your own home to raise her?

That’s too much, you evil father Snape.

Dumbledore did not show much surprise that Noah knew about the past grievances between Snape and the Potters.

"It seems that Severus has told you a lot of things."

Raising his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, Noah's thoughts quickly drifted away, "So, that Harry guy is actually Shirley's..."

Dumbledore nodded, "Harry is her opposite-sex twin brother."

Chapter 176 Let Hogwarts feel the pain!

"Shirley not only inherited the excellent magical talents of the Potters, but also far surpassed them in this aspect, which makes her total magical power much stronger than that of young wizards of the same age."

At this point, Dumbledore looked at Noah with a strange look.

He just remembered that the little monster in front of him also had a total amount of magic power that was many times greater than that of his peers.

When they first met, Noah had a magical riot due to some unpleasantness between them. The power that Noah erupted at that time was a bit difficult even for him to handle.

Of course, that was mainly because I was caught off guard at the time.

After Dumbledore pointed out Shirley's life experience, Noah quickly figured out the connection, "Shirley was actually present on the night when the Potters were killed by Voldemort?"

Dumbledore sighed.

"That's right. Voldemort's actions left both of them with extremely serious psychological trauma. However, out of self-protection, their brains selectively forced themselves to forget about this incident."

"Moreover, the protective magic that Lily built with her love and at the cost of her life also built a solid defense line for both of them physically and mentally."

"This has prevented Shirley from transforming into an Obscure to a certain extent, but now Shirley has unearthed the powerful magic that was firmly locked in her blood by her mother's magic..."

Noah, standing at the door, looked back at the man lying on the bed, still in a coma.

Shirley is lost.

　As if she had noticed Noah's gaze, Hermione, who was waiting by the bed with Shirley, raised her head and looked in the direction of the two people at the door. After realizing it was Noah, she silently turned her head back and stared at her best friend.

Taking his eyes away from Shirley, Noah looked at Dumbledore, "Is there any solution?"

Dumbledore smiled. He raised his hand and patted Noah on the shoulder. "Don't worry. This incident is actually a good thing for Shirley."

"Good thing?" Noah shook his head. "I don't understand."

"Lily's protective magic is time-limited. When Harry and Shirley reach the age of seventeen, the magic will be automatically lifted."

"And at that time, the magic power that has been sealed for seventeen years will suddenly erupt, and it is very likely that Shirley's life will be taken away in an instant."

Standing in the corridor, Noah lowered his head slightly, a thoughtful look on his face.

He held his chin with his clenched right fist. "You mean to say that this power is still within the controllable range?"

"Shirley is lucky that she has a twin brother who can share the pressure of Obscurus with her."

"Newt should be able to separate the powerful magical power in her body that has not yet transformed into the Obscurus and transfer half of it to Harry."

Noah finally looked up, "Newt Scamander?"

"Yes, Newt and I have had the honor of meeting the last Obscurial of this century. There should be no one in the wizarding world who is more experienced than us in dealing with such situations."

When saying this, Dumbledore raised his head slightly, doing a good job of concealing the loneliness in his eyes.

Sorry, Ariana…

The conversation between the two ended with Dumbledore returning to the principal's office to write a letter to contact Newt. Noah did not choose to leave immediately, but returned to the school infirmary.

Seeing Noah coming back, Hermione's tone revealed worry, "How is Shirley?"

"Although her current condition is a little complicated, she will be better soon."

Noah shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed look, indicating that the little beaver didn't need to worry too much.

His words finally made Little Beaver's heart, which had been hanging in the air since just now, fall back into his stomach. "That's good."

At this time, she finally had the time to focus her attention on other things.

Her eyebrows were raised, and she looked like a mini version of Mag. "How could you let students face such a dangerous situation? Look! Now you are in trouble!"

Noah pulled the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Can we not talk about this for now? I have already discussed the content of my lecture with Professor Dumbledore in advance."

When Hermione heard Noah bring up Dumbledore as a shield, she could only stop talking angrily and turn the topic back to Shirley.

"What happened to Shirley?"

Noah didn't answer Hermione's question, but just passed the blame on to others. "This matter is related to Shirley's life experience. I will tell her about it when she wakes up."

"If she thinks it's something she can share with you, then you can ask her."

Ignoring the curious little beaver next to him, Noah silently thought about what he knew, whether it was what he learned from the movies he watched in his previous life, or what he learned from the books after coming to this world, any information about Obscurus.

No matter how mysterious it is in the books, the thing called Obscurus is, after all, a ball of powerful magic, born from a mixture of the negative emotions of wizards, a ball of energy with a certain self-will.

In essence, it is still a power that belongs to the Silent One himself.

As long as it is power, there is a possibility of being controlled. If it cannot be controlled, it can only be because the wizard's control over his own magic power is not strong enough.

Noah didn't want to watch Shirley give away half of her strength to her useless brother who had been separated from her for more than ten years for no reason.

Power should be in your own hands.

But what exactly should he do to allow Shirley to control Obscurus while eliminating the negative effects of Obscurus on the host's vitality?

Noah didn't know enough about Osmos, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't find a solution without experimental data to support it.

I can only wait for old man Newt to come, and then find a way to trick him into following me in my research.
