My classmate at Hogwarts is Voldemort

Chapter 223 Animagus's First Step: Don't Talk
"We finally meet."

Nagini, in a long skirt woven of leaves and rattan, staggered towards Tom, gazing into his eyes.

Her face is pale, her lips and eye sockets are thick black, her two thin eyebrows are sharply raised, and there is a lingering worry between her brows, she has a standard oriental appearance, and one eye is transparent It is black, but the other one is tightly blocked by a layer of snake-like gray film, revealing a dead silence of decay, as if it has lost the ability to capture light.

"Didn't you see it often before?" Tom scratched his head and glanced at Nagini's blind eye. At the back of the corner of the eye, several black diamond-shaped scales were neatly arranged and stretched all the way. Covered by long black hair in the sideburns, it seems that the separation from the blood curse is not complete.

He frowned and cast a puzzled look at Rowena.

"This is the limit that Lord Ravenclaw can do." Nagini first turned his head, cast a grateful and respectful look at Rowena, and turned to explain to Tom, "I and that... ...Snake, the entanglement is too deep, it has changed me too much..."

"It's not important, is it?"

Nelson stepped forward and silently examined Nagini's soul. Although she was weak, she had never been so whole, so self-sufficient, and so free.

Nelson nodded with satisfaction, and whispered into Tom's ear, "After all, this is the first case in history to successfully break the blood curse. It is already very good to be able to do this... Don't forget, we have to change Nagini's body Back to human form."

Tom hesitated a little, with deep worry spreading in his eyes.

"Gnar is right," Nagini took a step forward and got closer to Tom. Her gaze never moved away, but compared to her firm gaze, her words suddenly became murmured, " Thank you so much... for doing so much for the guy who stole your owl..."

She took a step back unconsciously, glanced at Nelson, lowered her head, and said softly, "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, I just... snakes have good hearing."

"It's okay," Nelson smiled, stretched out his right hand, and said softly, "It's the first time I heard you speak, I really didn't understand the 'hissing' before, hahaha!"

"I can teach you slowly," Nagini tilted his head, looked at Nelson from the side, twisted the curly black hair hanging down his chest with one hand, slowly raised the other hand, and put it on With half of his hand, he revealed an unconfident temperament, "It's a pleasure to see you like this, Gnar."

Nelson held Nagini's pale hand. She looked old, but her hands were small, as thin as a skeleton, and she was a miserable person whom Grindelwald could only pity.

Nelson felt a cold and hard metal-like touch from the back of her hand. He couldn't help but grabbed Nagini's hand and looked at it. The faint snake scales were exposed from the back of her hand.

"Nagini." Tom, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly said seriously, "You are not a snake, you are a human being."

"Yeah...I'm not a snake," Nagini looked a little dazed, his hand that lost his strength slowly slipped from Nelson's hand, and his shoulders shook for a while. Rowena supported her from behind, only to hear Nagini Whispering, repeating the same sentence over and over again, "I am a person..."

"Don't worry," Rowena nodded to Nelson and said, "The soul is the easiest to reflect the essence and performance of a person. She has lived as a snake for too long, so that it is difficult to accept the fact that she has changed back to a human. This may That's why she has scales on her body."

"If she can get used to human life, can it affect the soul?" Nelson asked.

"Of course, that's what I want to say," Rowena nodded, and then shouted at Tom, "Slytherin, be gentle with the lady, otherwise I won't trust her to you!"

"I'm not barking—" Tom opened his mouth, then closed it quickly, the corners of his mouth twitched and he lowered his head, took Nagini from Rowena's help, took out a chair from Nelson's pocket and put it on the ground , put the weak Nagini up.

"Take good care of her," Rowena ordered, "I have something to do with Nelson."

Tom grabbed Nelson, shook his head, and said, "You tell her that first."

"Are you in such a hurry?" Rowena frowned and asked, "What is so important."

"It may not be important to others at all, but it is the most important thing to Nagini." Tom said firmly, and stared back into Rowena's eyes.

"Okay, okay," Nelson inserted between the two, approached Nagini lying on the chair, bent down, felt the intermittent trembling all over her body, leaned close to his ear, and said softly, "You still Remember Newt Scamander? He's been looking for Credence, and based on the information available, the man may still be alive."

Hearing this, Nagini sat up straight and opened his eyes suddenly, but Nelson had already followed Ravenclaw to the other end, and in front of him was the tangled Tom, who was fiddling with the bottle left by Nelson Bottles and jars, it is said that these are materials that are helpful to the soul.

……

"Have you thought about the specific method?" Rowena first signaled Nelson to cast a block, and then asked straight to the point, "After stripping off the blood curse, this girl's soul no longer matches the snake's body, you Do you understand me?"

"I understand that the snake body will repel the human soul. After all, the structure is almost completely different," Nelson nodded, and replied, "We will go out when she stabilizes a little bit. I have prepared the chrysalis of the grimace moth and Mandrake leaves."

"Animagus?" Rowena frowned, lost in thought. Nelson stood there, quietly waiting for her to finish thinking, and looked back from time to time. After a few minutes, Rowena's brows relaxed. , commented, "It's crazy, but if it works, it will be a perfect solution... I thought you would choose a combination of Transfiguration and Permanence."

"To tell you the truth," Nelson whispered, "I had considered some more...extreme methods before, but then I realized that although there was a snake outside, it was still Nagini's original body. Professor Dumbledore - oh, he is now the head of Gryffindor - I learned a lot about human body deformation from him, and my confidence is much higher than before."

"What transfiguration knowledge can you learn from Gryffindor students? You might as well ask him to kill Hai Erbo," Rowena pouted, and asked, "For example, how do you make a snake learn Arnie? Muggs? Snakes can only speak Parseltongue, so you can't speak spells."

"There's a solution," Nelson said, ready, "Tom has acquired some of the Slytherin-inherited magic, many of which have been converted to Parseltongue...besides that, we have silent spells and force-transformation The method can be chosen."

"I'm a little interested."

Rowena lied, she was intrigued by Nagini's crazy plan early in her memory, especially seeing Nelson practice magic with a snake in the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets , experimenting with the shapeshifting scene with another basilisk, which made her even more convinced that Nelson should come to her academy.

She shook her head and asked, "What about the wand? Snakes don't even have arms. The arms you conjure up are no different from phantom limbs."

"When it comes to wands, it's even simpler," Nelson smiled, and raised his empty right hand, a small silver ball flew from his pocket to his palm, slowly turning into various small animals, "I once I studied in a magic academy in America for a while. Native wizards in America have never needed magic wands since ancient times. Unlike African wizards, they don’t even need gestures, as long as the belief in their hearts is strong enough—I have learned part of it. , it is said that the four magic creatures taught the magic to the founder, they can, why can't Nagini?"

"No animal in the world has ever been able to complete an Animagus. Even if it succeeds, can you predict what she will become?" Rowena looked at Nelson meaningfully and said, "No one's Animagus Gus is a human being, and humans are magical creatures."

"It's okay to become a Muggle," Nelson replied without hesitation, "As for Animagus, after counting the registered Animagus over the past 800 years and some recorded illegal Animagus, I There's reason to believe it's not random."

"Oh?" Rowena's eyes showed excitement, which was a field she had never been in contact with.

"I think, for a guy who has lost his identity as a 'person'," Nelson looked at Nagini, who was curled up on a stool not far away and was crying, grabbing Tom's sleeve and wiping his nose non-stop. He said softly, "If she doesn't become a human being, it would be too much for heaven."

"You are crazy."

"No, I'm very strict, I've already made a prediction about my Animagus," Nelson gripped his wand tightly, "I will start Animagus practice at the same time as Nagini, if my prediction is correct Then, it can definitely be copied and reproduced again.”

"What if your Animagus doesn't work out at all?"

"There is no such possibility." Nelson shook his head, "I have prepared too much for this day."

"You're so arrogant," Rowena gasped, "I suddenly don't want you to come to Ravenclaw."

"The thought you injected into the Sorting Hat also thinks so," Nelson said with firm eyes. "In this matter, anyone can fail, but Nagini has no chance of failure at all... I have not detailed It’s time to carefully prepare materials, search for information, make plans, and then formulate contingency plans. Of course, I will not allow myself to fail. If I fail, she will not even have the qualifications to taste failure.”

"Who isn't?" Rowena covered her mouth and chuckled, "I kind of regret my decision just now."

"What decision?"

"I should still recruit you to Ravenclaw."

"You can discuss it with the current principal." Nelson suggested sincerely.

"Okay, don't be poor, let's go see them, and tell you about the precautions of Animagus." Rowena proudly shook her hair and said, "Don't look at me with that look, I But Rowena Ravenclaw!"

……

"Can't you really talk?"

Next to the deck chair in front of the cabin, Tom was baring his teeth at Nelson.

"Can't say a word?"

Nelson was very calm. He sat up straight, spread his hands, and shook his head.

"You should have told me first! At least wake me up," Tom scratched his hair in pain, he had been tortured all morning, "at least let me watch you suck this damn leaf!"

Nelson didn't move his body, just nodded.

"No, what do you mean by shaking your head and nodding?" Tom was a little crazy, beating the air in front of him frantically, and shouted, "Does shaking your head mean nodding or shaking your head? Nodding means... no! Nodding means yes Or is it..."

He suddenly realized that his tongue was tied, so he turned his head to look at Nagini, and then slapped himself on the forehead.

"I forgot, you can't open your mouth!" Tom waved at Nagini again and again, "Don't shake your head at me, I'm going to faint."

Having thus tormented himself, Tom approached the cabin in a huff, and shut the door hard.

"Is he crazy?" Rowena's voice suddenly sounded after Tom left.

Nelson shook his head, took out a small blackboard from under the recliner, and wrote and drew on it.

【Possibly, he didn't even give me a chance to write. 】

As the breeze blew, a slender vine crawled over from a distance as if it had grown feet, found a hole and planted itself in it, Rowena's voice became clearer, "I think you did it on purpose. "

[You can't smear people's innocence out of thin air. 】

Nelson casually dropped the pen and wiped it on the blackboard. The previous handwriting twisted and formed another sentence.

【I've been looking for a pen just now. To be honest, I feel that my whole state has improved a lot since I couldn't speak. 】

"Looking for a pen? You're a wizard." Ravenclaw teased.

[I know, but you also know that Hogwarts students have heavy academic pressure and too many homework that needs to be written with a pen, which leads us to develop a bad habit. Find the pen in no time. 】

"..." The tiny vine raised a leaf and scratched the top.

"So where is your level of improvement? Is the level of pranks approaching Alphard, or the level of silent spells approaching Dumbledore?"

【Not really, this is a kind of metaphysical—】

The text was interrupted, and Nelson suddenly realized that the last question was asked by a male voice, and he turned his head stiffly to meet Tom's deathly gaze.
