Dumbledore knew very well Schelling's temperament, and it was impossible for him to succumb to others and become Voldemort's lackey.
Thinking of this, he cast his eyes in Xie Lin's direction again. Xie Lin, who was chatting with potion master Horace Slahorn, seemed to sense his gaze and looked over slightly. Dumbledore winked at Sherrin and showed a smile that only he could understand.
Although Slughorn is a member of the Wizengamot, he is greedy for enjoyment and has not attended any Wizengamot activities for a long time. I will show up this time just to get to know Xie Lin and add another collection to the slug club I created.
He had waited patiently for a long time for this moment, because there were many people who had the same thoughts as him. He first saw Sherrin and Amelia's group chatting, and then Barty Crouch Sr. , then Fudge, then Gsilda Marchiban...
He finally spotted the opportunity and walked forward to get acquainted with Xie Lin before the others.
Horace Slughorn, the famous potion master and a wizard of the same era as Dumbledore, was born in the Holy 28 pure-blood family, but he was not the core child of the family.
When he was young and naive, he suffered from the disadvantages of his connections - his cousin, who had no magical talent, had planted a nail among the family elders early on, and gained the support of several senior officials from the Ministry of Magic, and finally succeeded in seizing the throne. Obtain the position of head of the family.
You must know that at that time, he was a dazzling figure who was known as a potion genius. Losing his position as the head of the family was a huge blow to him. This made him obsessed with connections, and was the biggest reason why he founded the Slug Club.
(Note: Pottermore says that he has no brothers or sisters, has never been married, and has no heirs, but there are other branches of the Slahorn family that are passed down, which is consistent with the setting of this article)
The Slahoen family also had a star on Xie Lin's list, and at this moment they were open to Horace's initiative to make friends.
The two first chatted about campus life, and then also exchanged some potion knowledge. Horace is worthy of being a master of potions, and many of the insights he shared can be of great benefit even to Schelling's level. Before parting, the two seemed to have met each other too late. They also exchanged contact information and promised to keep in touch.
The investiture ceremony began.
On the high platform, after the Minister of Magic Fudge gave a non-stop speech without any content, he was replaced by Dumbledore, the chief magician of the Wizengamot.
Under the flashlights of many reporters, Shearing walked to the high platform, took the Order of Merlin from Dumbledore, and pinned it on his chest. This is a golden medal with a white ribbon.
All medals of the Order of Merlin are gold, and the distinction in rank is reflected in the color of the ribbon. The ribbon of the First Class Medal is green, and Dumbledore has one on him. It is said that it is to commemorate the Slytherin House where Merlin was born. The representative color of Slytherin is green.
The ribbon color of the second-level medal is purple, while the medal Xie Lin received has a white ribbon and is a third-level medal.
In a round of applause, the awarding ceremony ended perfectly.
Before the day of the investiture ceremony, thanks to Schelling's tireless efforts, he had read through the remaining books in Ravenclaw's collection.
In the week after the investiture ceremony, Schelling began his summer vacation plans.
The first priority is to study the Death's invisibility cloak. Schelling had already cracked most of the Death's invisibility cloak, he just had to find the right type of chisel. He used the black dragon chisel he got from Nott, and after dozens of attempts, he finally succeeded!
He copied the invisibility effect of the Death's Invisibility Cloak to the Supreme Wizard's Robe, adding invisibility and breath-covering functions to the Supreme Wizard's Robe. If used in conjunction with the invisible phantom spell, under the double invisibility effect, not even Crazy Eyes Moody, not even Dumbledore, would be able to see through it.
(Note: Dumbledore was unable to see through Death's invisibility cloak. The time he saw through Harry was because he found the clues left by the careless Harry, and then silently and wandlessly cast the humanoid manifestation spell - from bloomsbury chat)
[The final form of the Supreme Wizard Robe (ten functions) is completed! 】
The second thing was to go to Knockturn Alley and buy the disappearing cabinet from Bojin Bock's shop for a hundred galleons. After leaving Knockturn Alley, he did not go home directly, but visited Bones Manor through the Floo Network.
【Get the disappearing cabinet! 2x disappearing cabinet link completed! 】
Amelia and Susan both welcomed him warmly. Susan had not yet mastered the complete Patronus Charm, so she kept asking Schelling for advice.
Amelia was stunned when she learned that Schelling was able to unleash the full corporeal Patronus.
You must know that in the Ministry of Magic, more than half of the wizards do not understand this uncommon and unpopular spell at all, and more than half of the remaining people can only cast the incomplete Patronus Charm, which releases silver-white light mist. This silver-white light mist cannot effectively resist Dementors and Voldemort Bats. At most, it can only block them slightly, giving the wizard valuable time to escape.
Schelling humbly asked Amelia for various legal knowledge in the wizarding world. Amelia also had no secrets towards Xie Lin, and tried her best to give Xie Lin various pointers and solve his doubts, so that Xie Lin's knowledge in this area also rapidly improved.
The fourth thing is to study the Black magic book of the Black family. However, black magic books are generally very esoteric and difficult to understand, and there are many traps hidden between the lines, which can lure the reader's soul to corruption. Even with Schelling's talent, the reading speed cannot be much faster.
In his spare time, Schelling did not forget to play with the alchemy book left to him by Nico Flamel. This book is locked by an extremely special and rare alchemy. Even with Schelling's level of alchemy, it cannot be cracked. It can only be studied slowly over time.
Time quickly came to a day in mid-July.
Schelling sensed the tracking technique released on Peter Pettigrew, and he felt unusual magic fluctuations around Peter. It was almost certain that Peter had found his old master Voldemort as expected.
All the arrangements Schelling had made on Peter were to capture Voldemort's pet, the big snake Nagini.
Nagini is a twelve-foot-long female giant snake with extremely venomous fangs. In the Fantastic Creatures movie, Nagini was originally an Asian witch who was cursed by a bloodline and eventually transformed into a snake shape. He was tamed by Voldemort while living in the Albanian jungle.
In the original book, not long after Voldemort was found by Peter Pettigrew, the latter deceived Bertha Jorkins, who was on vacation in Albania, into Voldemort's presence and killed her. From then on, Nagini became Voldemort's last Horcrux.
(Note: The victim of the last Horcrux is controversial. Rowling said it was Bertha Jorkins, and Dumbledore said it was Frank Bryce; considering that Dumbledore may not know about Bertha, the author believes Rowling’s statement is more reasonable)
Catching the big snake Nagini has two benefits:
First, before Voldemort was resurrected, he lived in the form of a remnant soul, which made him very weak. After being found by Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort used rudimentary body potion to create a crude body container for his remnant soul to reside.
Although it is said that he has a bad body, it is actually enough for him to cast spells to kill people, which greatly increases the risk. The main ingredients of the ugly potion are unicorn blood and Nagini's venom, so abducting Nagini can cause trouble for Voldemort and delay his return.
Second, Nagini, as a known host of the blood curse, is a sample with extremely high research value. Schelling's understanding of the blood curse is unparalleled in the world, but he still lacks a sample for experiments to verify various theoretical assumptions.
To do this, timing is very important, because it won't be long before Nagini becomes Voldemort's Horcrux. Once Nagini is made into a Horcrux, Schelling's research will be complicated by the additional variable of a Horcrux. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Schelling set off immediately after sensing feedback from Peter Pettigrew's tracking technique.
As for the downside? There are also some. After Schelling kidnapped Nagini, Voldemort lost the container originally used to make the seventh Horcrux. If he insisted on making another Horcrux, the last Horcrux would become unknown, leaving Schelling loses the benefit of predicting the plot.
But compared to the benefits gained, Schelling didn't take it too seriously. Anyway, the Savior and Dumbledore were in front of him to eliminate the Horcruxes.
Xie Lin put on the robe of the Supreme Wizard, which turned into a mysterious jet-black cloak according to Xie Lin's thoughts, and then took out the "nameless mask" that he had researched. He put the mask on his face, and his whole person suddenly exuded a cold and sharp temperament, and his own magic power seemed to be coated with a layer of protection, becoming obscure and strange.
Even Xie Lin's closest relatives could not recognize him when they were standing in front of him. They would only think that the person standing in front of them was a dark wizard with powerful magic and who was extremely difficult to mess with.
Xie Lin snapped his fingers, and Dobby appeared next to him. Captured by his appearance and aura at the moment, Dobby was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground and trembled: "Who are you? I, my master. Woolen cloth?"
Xie Lin's voice was ethereal and hollow, "Dobby...it's me, I'm Xie Lin."
"You, you are the master?" Dobby asked dubiously. It was difficult for him to accept that the little master he had watched grow up suddenly turned into such a terrifying appearance.
Xie Lin's voice seemed to have an invisible penetrating power, and Dobby felt that every word spoken by the man in front of him who claimed to be his little master seemed not to come from his ears, but suddenly sounded directly from his heart.
"This is my secret disguise. Don't tell anyone... Now take me to Pettigrew." Dobby felt right. Sherin used soul magic in his voice, and his words could directly reach Dobby. His mind made Dobby unable to produce any resistance.
At this moment, Dobby's mind has been completely captured by Schelling, and his whole spirit and body and mind have completely surrendered to Schelling, becoming his most loyal servant. This is one of Schelling's gains from studying the Black family soul magic and "Abatail Volume 2".
In order to prevent Dobby from being recognized, Schelling cast a transformation spell on Dobby, turning him into an elf with a head like a wild boar, and then asked Dobby to take him to apparate all the way to the Albanian jungle. Their suddenness The appearance startled both Voldemort and Peter Pettigrew.
Finally met the boss in the original work for the first time.
At this moment, Voldemort is barely a humanoid creature. It is curled up in a blanket. At first glance, it might be mistaken for a baby, but there is absolutely no such ugly baby in the world. It has no hair, dark red scales on the surface of its body, protruding spines on its back, slender fingers, black barb-like nails, thin and fragile limbs, a flat face, like a snake head, and a pair of Flashing red eyes.
This deformed humanoid creature is the body that Voldemort used to reshape himself using the body-shattering potion.
Voldemort at this moment is still far from his peak state. He didn't say anything, but he alertly took the lead and shot a death curse to Xie Lin.
But Xie Lin's position was more than 10 meters away from him, and he easily avoided the sneak attack with his skill. Xie Lin integrated soul magic into his voice and mocked: "Hehehehe, poor Dark Lord... he is as weak as a baby... There is only one follower left, and he is still so weak..."
After Voldemort released the Death Curse, the magic power in his body was instantly exhausted and he no longer acted rashly. He knew that he had immortality, so he didn't appear to be very scared. He just asked cautiously: "Who are you? What is the purpose of coming here?"
Xie Lin's cold voice sounded, "It doesn't matter who I am. I am here for you. I only want the snake next to you!"
"This snake is very important to me, what do you want it for?"
"This has nothing to do with you. I just want to ask, should I give it or not?" Xie Lin added more magic power to the nameless mask, and the aura on his body became more and more violent and terrifying.
Voldemort hesitated for a while, but finally suppressed the urge to take action. Although Nagini's venom is important, it is not without alternatives, it will just waste more of his time.
He has been trapped in this weak form for too long, and he doesn't want to stay for a moment longer. But the black magic aura exuded by the person in front of him is vicious and powerful. Even at his peak, he is not sure of victory, let alone It’s me at this moment. What's more, the other party is obviously not a kind person, but a dark wizard who is as murderous as himself.
As everyone knows, Xie Lin's magic power is still at the level of a senior student. The nameless mask just makes him "look" like he has a powerful black magic aura. To put it bluntly, it is a disguise mask, but when used here, it makes him famous. Voldemort was frightened by the broadcast.
Voldemort nodded reluctantly, and Sherin didn't waste any time, knocking Nagini out with a neat stun spell, grabbing it and apparating away with Dobby.
