Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 381 Capturing Obscurus! Newt's Hiring Plan!

The next day, in the morning.

Dudley flew directly from his new home to the Dumbledore family's house.

They are both in the Godric Valley and not far apart.

For Dudley, who can fly at speeds like the Golden Snitch, this distance wouldn't even take a minute.

Soon, Dudley knocked on the door of Dumbledore's house and was welcomed in by Aurelius.

This trip was both a visit and a silent response to Ariana's past.

More than ninety years ago, this was Ariana's main living area.

After entering, Dudley exchanged pleasantries with Dumbledore and his family for a while, then followed the radiant young Dumbledore to Ariana's former bedroom.

After being informed in advance, none of the other members of the Dumbledore family came along.

"Get started, Dudley. I'll completely renovate the house and welcome a brand new future with my family. Ariana's bedroom is of utmost importance. I don't want her to be reminded of the past or realize the loss of her memories."

In Ariana's bedroom, Old Dumbledore first cast powerful protective and soundproofing spells on the room, then solemnly addressed Dudley.

That's how it should be.

Dudley nodded in agreement, and then activated the Conceptual Restoration Charm.

"Restore the Obscurial that originated from Ariana Dumbledore's past, restoring the time and location to the state in which the Obscurial last appeared in this room!"

After a series of carefully worded incantations, a strange change occurred in the room.

Countless tiny energies pierced through the air, returning to form a cold and violent dark alien magic, which then condensed into a black mist-like monster.

It is the Obscurial that originated from Ariana's past.

Once restored, the Oblivious One, unaware of its host, was about to erupt, unleashing a surge of dark magic energy at the professor level.

But before it could cause any damage, it was firmly bound by dozens of soul-snatching chains, and was immobilized in mid-air.

"Unfortunately, Obscurus is not considered a magical item."

The system's identification function did not respond, and Dali sighed.

He's destined to be a busybody; he can't stay idle. He's now in the process of researching even more powerful energy-stealing spells.

However, the Oblivious One can be considered a spirit-like being.

His plan to collect and raise Silent Demon Kings is feasible!

Thinking of this, dozens of soul-hooking chains, radiating powerful soul fluctuations, immediately dragged Momo Ran, who was entangled in mid-air, into the Soul Control Space within Dali's body through the hazy spatial passage.

"Obscurials, magical artifacts? Obscurials are just dark parasites, not magical artifacts! Dudley, you're not thinking of using your talent to fuse with an Obscurial, are you? That's..."

When Old Deng heard Dali's exclamation, he asked in surprise.

He wanted to remind Dudley to think about the idea, but then he remembered Dudley's conceptualized healing spell, and all his worries vanished.

Now, the only thing Dudley needs to worry about is death.

Thinking of this, Old Deng changed the subject: "That's possible, but we'll have to transform the Obscurus into a magical item first."

My former student, Newt Scamander, has done in-depth research on the Obscurus. If you need his research materials, I can write to him and have him send them to you.

Dali did not refuse Old Deng's kindness.

Newt is also one of the world's most outstanding wizards and an expert in the field of magical creatures. His research data, regardless of whether it helps Dudley's existing ideas on using Obscurus, is a valuable crystallization of knowledge.

Dali immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time, he had the idea of ​​taking some and some food. After a slight pause, he said to Old Deng:

"We can directly invite Mr. Newt to teach at Hogwarts. There can be five professors for Defense Against the Dark Arts and one more professor for Magical Creatures!"

"I can make Mr. Newt and his wife young again, so they can shine for Hogwarts and for the educational cause of the wizarding world!"

"Okay! I will send Newt an offer letter, but whether he accepts or not is up to Newt himself."

Old Deng replied, then tentatively asked, "What if Newt doesn't want to..."

"If he doesn't want to come and teach, then let's make a deal: let me collect all his knowledge and memories in exchange for him and his wife regaining their youth."

This is a completely risk-free deal for him, and it even benefits the development of Hogwarts. Surely he wouldn't refuse?

Dudley has memories of his past life and has a fairly good impression of Newt from the original story.

But as good as it is, and since they're not related by blood, Old Deng's roundabout connections aren't enough to make Dali give away benefits for nothing.

"I understand. I'm sure Newt won't refuse."

Old Deng said, "He's retired and now lives in Dorset with his wife, Tina Goldstein. If possible, you can meet him before the summer holidays end."

"Sure, that's a small matter. What we need to do now is capture the Obscurus that Aurelius spawned in the past. You should know how powerful that Obscurus was, right?"

Dudley agreed to meet with the over-ninety-year-old Newt and urged Old Dumbledore to quickly carry out the next step of the operation.

Old Deng immediately created a clone of himself, leaving Ariana's bedroom to be with his family.

The main body, along with Dudley, Apparated to the Hog's Head pub in Hogsmeade.

Since Aberforth is not here, Pighead Bar has been closed for the time being.

"When I was young, I fought against that Obscurus, or more precisely, against Aurelius, the Obscurus that it was parasitizing. Its power was indeed very strong."

Old Deng led Dali through the corridor inside the Pig Head Bar, saying as they walked, "I guess you're thinking of subduing him, aren't you?"

Judging from the soul-snatching chains just now, you've already fused with that powerful magical item from China—the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

"Not only that, I've also integrated Nicolas Flamel's treasure trove of knowledge. Once I've finished my business with Momo Ran, extract your knowledge and memories so I can store them for you."

Dali was very frank. He not only confirmed Old Deng's guess, but also asked Old Deng for knowledge with a clear conscience.

Upon hearing this, Old Deng was both amused and exasperated, and could only nod slightly in agreement.

He then led Dudley into a room in the Pig's Head Bar that was not open to guests, and just like in Ariana's bedroom, he cast powerful protective and soundproofing spells on the room.

"This is the room where Aurelius died, and it was here that his Obscurus met its end," Dumbledore explained to Dudley.

Knowing he had come to the right place, Dudley did not hesitate and activated the Conceptual Restoration Charm once again.

A black mist monster, far more powerful than the one from before, quickly took shape in the room.
