Chapter 137 Bloodline Magic
Chapter 137 Bloodline Magic
"But, how do I guide Riddle?" Sivan asked helplessly, looking at Dumbledore's deep eyes.
"Actually, Tom's life experience of being born in an orphanage made his situation in Slytherin not very good." Dumbledore said softly. "Do you know what I was talking about with Minerva just now?"
Without waiting for Sivan to answer, Dumbledore continued: "Minerva just told me that Tom deliberately stayed after class and asked her some questions that he already knew. Minerva It is speculated that he deliberately did not go to the auditorium with them to avoid his roommates."
"The little wizards in Slytherin place too much emphasis on blood, but Tom doesn't even know who his parents are. So it's hard for him to get the friendship he deserves in Slytherin. In fact, I think if he is divided You can get a healthier school life at any other college.”
"But according to his character, it does seem to be more in line with Slytherin's purpose." Sivan nodded in agreement, then smiled. "He is much better than me at this point. It seems that many people think that I should be sorted into Gryffindor or Ravenclaw."
"But this is exactly where you shine, Sivan." Dumbledore said with a chuckle. "As a Slytherin, you have the strong courage to intercept Professor Lorre alone, and dare to face the dark wizard with Silvanus; at the same time, you also have the wisdom to deduce the real culprit who destroyed the magic node. "
"More importantly, you don't care about Riddle's origin, do you?"
"Actually, it's not as exaggerated as you said." Xiwen said with some embarrassment.
"I'm not exaggerating, Sivan." Dumbledore shook his head slightly and said to Sivan. "As long as you can become friends with Riddle, you can subtly influence him with your kindness and make him less extreme, thereby guiding him to the right path."
Dumbledore's repeated compliments made Xiwen feel a little overwhelmed. He didn't know how to respond to his words, so he had to lower his head and drink tea silently.
"By the way, how is your cat doing now?" While Xiwen was drinking tea, Dumbledore suddenly asked a completely irrelevant question.
Sivan was a little embarrassed by how quickly Dumbledore changed the subject, and replied helplessly: "Well, it's pretty good."
Coincidentally, he also wanted to pet the cat, so he took out his wand and drew a circle in front of him.
A small golden circle of light appeared in front of Xiwen's eyes. In the circle of light was a kitten taking a nap under a tree.
Xiwen took advantage of her unpreparedness, hugged the kitten in his arms, and cast a cleaning spell on her to remove the dusty dirt from the kitten's body.
Just last semester, Xiwen still insisted on learning alchemy from Flamel every week. Although it is difficult to make a ring for spatial positioning in a while, it is still very simple to make a collar for a kitten that can provide coordinates.
This time, Xiwen determined the location of the kitten based on the collar around its neck and caught it.
Although Xiaomao was a little confused by the sudden change of position, the familiar smell of Xiwen made her feel at ease. So she lay quietly on Xiwen's lap, enjoying his massage, making "snoring" sounds from her throat from time to time, which was extremely enjoyable.
When she felt comfortable with the massage in one position, she would proudly move another part of her body to Xiwen's hand and signal Xiwen to massage her in another position.
Dumbledore looked at Sivan's doting expression on the kitten and smiled with satisfaction.
"Sivan, I think you might be able to persuade Tom to get a little pet." Dumbledore winked playfully.
Xiven was stunned for a moment, not sure what the specific meaning of Dumbledore's proposal was.
"Oh, by the way, I was so focused on discussing what I wanted to talk to you about that I almost forgot that it was you who came to see me this time." Dumbledore suddenly asked. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes, I still have some questions I would like to ask." Sivan looked at Dumbledore and asked thoughtfully.
"Do you know blood magic?"
Dumbledore's expression became more serious when he heard Sivan's question.
"Have you communicated with Professor Henriques, Sivan?" Dumbledore asked.
Seeing Xiwen nodding, Dumbledore slowly said: "Yes, of course I know blood magic."
"Professor Enriquez came to Hogwarts at my invitation to teach the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. I invited him to teach just to discuss some issues with blood magic with him."
"I heard that there is a kind of blood magic passed down in your family - when members of the Dumbledore family need help, the phoenix will come." Sivan asked curiously.
Dumbledore glanced at Sivan in surprise and asked casually: "Did Newt tell you?"
"Well, Mr. Strange actually told me." Xiwen silently used his soul body as a shield.
In fact, it was perfectly fine for Dumbledore to think that Newt told him.
Regarding the blood magic of the Dumbledore family, it was first because Ghost Sivan was curious about the phoenix that appeared in Bhutan, so he asked Newt about the phoenix. Later, he learned about the relationship between the Dumbledore family and the Phoenix from Newt.
"You are right, the Dumbledore family does continue a blood magic related to the Phoenix." Dumbledore did not pay much attention to this matter and went on to explain. "In fact, I have a nephew. His name is Aurelius, and he is an Obscurus."
"He has carried the Obscurus for too long, and the dark power of the Obscurus is corroding his body all the time. Now he can only rely on the healing power of the Phoenix Tears to extend his life. But the Phoenix Tears are not omnipotent after all... "
"Besides, Aurelius had a friend named Nagini ten years ago. She was hit by a blood curse and turned into a Meredigos." Dumbledore said with some seriousness. . "Aurelius is dying now, but he thinks of his once-close friend and hopes that we can help her."
"But Nagini has been carrying the blood curse for more than ten years. None of us can be sure whether she still maintains her sanity or has been completely eroded by the blood curse."
Xiwen was perked up when he heard the word "blood curse". The purpose of his visit to the Director of Transfiguration's office this time was actually to ask Dumbledore if he had any solution to the blood curse on Elsiona.
He quickly asked: "Professor, can you tell me what Meredigos is?"
"Do you know about Animagus?" Dumbledore asked.
"Animagus is the ability to freely transform into the corresponding animal form." Sivan nodded and replied. "Are Meredigos similar to Animagus?"
"It's somewhat similar. They both have the ability to transform into animals. But there is a big difference between the two." Dumbledore said.
"It is different from the free transformation of Animagus. As time goes by, the wizard as Meredigos will gradually lose the ability to think as a human, and will be passively transformed due to the curse, until he completely turns into an animal without Human animal!”
