Chapter 58: The Mysteriously Missing Name
Prevented Nagini from turning evil? How did I prevent it?
Theo was a little confused. He seemed to have just used Transfiguration to shrink Nagini.
After that, everything was left to Dumbledore to deal with...
Could it be that Dumbledore killed Nagini?
But how was that possible? Dumbledore shouldn't do that...
Theo pondered.
Tom over there was ready to be "bullied" by Theo again.
But he didn't know why, this guy suddenly stopped talking.
However, Theo not speaking was exactly what he wanted, so he didn't speak again, and hoped that Theo would never speak again!
At this time, Theo, who couldn't think of an answer, decided not to dwell on it. Anyway, a large amount of merit points had been credited, which proved that he had done a good thing.
Moreover, if he wanted to know where Nagini was, he would know by asking Dumbledore at that time, and he didn't need to think too much.
After Theo stopped dwelling on it, he felt a little happier, and even let go of Tom, who was still a little trembling.
"It's already past ten o'clock, why are you still lying down? Shouldn't you get up early to read? This age is the age of struggle, how can you sleep?"
Tom looked at Theo with a confused look, "Isn't... isn't it you who won't let me read spell books..."
"Eh? You don't want to read, you're lazy. You have to find the reason from yourself, how can you blame me? I don't let you read spell books, can't you read other books? Such as Transfiguration, Potions, Herbology, etc.? Alas, the little kids these days..." Theo said, shaking his head and left the room.
Tom looked at Theo's back in a daze.
Damn it... it's you who punished me not to read!
Also, if it wasn't for your Stupefy, how could I have slept until after ten o'clock?
How did it suddenly become my own laziness? How can you be so shameless!
However, Tom just opened his mouth and couldn't say anything in the end.
Forget it... at least Theo the damn said so, I can read and study again...
I can't beat you now... but one day, I will let you experience my current pain!
...
Theo took the toiletries and just went out when he met Dumbledore, who was carrying a familiar cage.
"Professor?"
Theo glanced at the cage in his hand in surprise. Isn't this Nagini? Why did Dumbledore bring her back?
"I'm here to find you. I have two things to say." Dumbledore's expression was a little serious.
In fact, Theo had never seen such a serious expression on Dumbledore's face.
"Professor... what are the two things?" Theo asked in confusion.
Dumbledore looked around, then pulled Theo into an empty guest room next door, then took out his wand and carefully arranged the whole room, isolating all the sounds inside and outside the room.
"The first thing... we must keep it a secret. Don't let anyone hear it." Dumbledore pulled a chair and sat down, and said urgently, "About the senior's name, don't ask about it again. Don't read her information either. I will guide you in ancient magic personally, but if it's not necessary, please try to hide the fact that you know ancient magic... understand?"
"What... what happened?" Theo asked, but he had some guesses in his heart.
This must be related to the letter he wrote to Dumbledore this morning!
He just didn't expect Dumbledore to come so quickly...
According to the time calculation, Dumbledore should have Apparated back directly after receiving the letter.
"It's hard for me to explain..." Dumbledore frowned. He really didn't know how to tell Theo.
A person's name suddenly disappeared in the world, and even he didn't notice it. This was really incredible!
"Is it because... you can't remember the senior's name?" Theo asked tentatively.
"How do you know?" Dumbledore asked in confusion.
Dumbledore should have known the senior's name, so he could quickly learn that the senior's name had disappeared.
But Theo shouldn't have known the senior's name, so how did he know that he couldn't remember the senior's name?
"Because last night, I couldn't remember to ask you about the senior's name at all. And you didn't mention her name at all when you were telling her story... I felt something was wrong when I woke up this morning. So I wrote you a letter." Theo said.
Dumbledore, who already trusted Theo, was relieved when he heard this, "You are very careful, Theo. That's true. In fact, if I hadn't received your letter, I wouldn't have noticed it at all! This matter is really strange everywhere!"
Dumbledore raised his eyes to look at Theo, and then said very solemnly, "The senior's name is gone... whether in the memory of the person concerned, or in the information left by Hogwarts... even in the Book of Admittance that records the names of every student in Hogwarts, her name has become a blank..."
"Has she completely disappeared?" Theo asked.
"No, it should be said that part of her has disappeared." Dumbledore said, "It's too strange... I went to ask Headmaster Dippet just now, and he couldn't remember the senior's name either. Then, he went to check the Book of Admittance, and the result... her name disappeared from the Book of Admittance and became a blank, but her date of birth after her name is still there! The other information that records her deeds is also the same. The information is still there, but the name is gone..."
"That is to say, all traces of her are still there... except for her name?" Theo asked in surprise.
"Yes... strange, too strange... whoever can affect everyone unknowingly must be a difficult person to deal with." Dumbledore sighed, "I will try my best to figure this out. As for you, for your safety. Don't ask about her anymore. It's best to hide ancient magic for the time being!"
The only common point between the senior and Theo is that they both have the characteristics of using ancient magic.
Now that the senior's name has disappeared, and thinking that the senior disappeared not long after graduation...
Dumbledore was really worried that if someone was targeting ancient magic users, the senior might have been killed, and Theo was likely to be the next target!
