Lu Mingfei: Hogwarts repeater

Chapter 2 Congratulations on getting Snape’s private tutor

"I don't understand, Albus, asking Fawkes to bring me here at this time..."

Snape straightened his somewhat messy black robes and raised his head. The sight that caught his eye shocked him, and he couldn't say the rest of the words.

The trees were dead, the ground was dry and cracked, and everything related to life was stripped away in the area that was more than ten meters wide.

"Have you finally decided to become the Dark Lord?" Snape said after coming back to his senses.

"Don't be stupid, Severus, I don't understand 'death' that deeply." Dumbledore said, gesturing for Snape to step forward.

Snape walked over and finally saw it. A sight that surprised him - a boy huddled naked in a large pit in the center of the death realm. He was covered with a deformed quilt, but even the quilt was obviously eroded and turned black. The big crater seemed to have been directly smashed by something. Snape couldn't see it because of the angle.

"He did it?" Snape came to a conclusion that surprised even himself.

"Yeah, incredible, right? I have never seen a child with such power at this age, and even his use of this power is instinctive rather than complete control."

Dumbledore put the tip of his wand to his temple, pulled out a strand of silver wire, and handed it to Snape. For Legilimency masters like them, they can directly read memories without the aid of a pensieve.

Snape quickly finished "reading" that memory, and when he looked at Lu Mingfei, his face was already a little shocked.

"That's a dragon?" Snape murmured, "But how could it be... Animagus?"

"Animagus transformation is usually limited to non-magical creatures, but even in the special cases I have seen, no one can turn into a dragon." Dumbledore shook his head.

"Bloodline fusion?" Even Snape's expression inevitably turned weird, "Like, half-blood giant, half-veela, etc.?"

"I may have thought about this, but, Severus," Dumbledore pondered for a while, "even a 20-foot-tall (about 6 meters) pure-blood giant has at least an almost human appearance, but dragon……"

"Transfiguration?"

"It's a subject worthy of study and I'll be writing to ask some friends, but right now we need to be concerned about something else."

Dumbledore decided to bring the topic back on track, and his expression became serious, "This child has powerful power in his body, but there is an evil, ancient soul that does not belong to him in his brain. Intending to devour him and thereby take possession of his young body and strength.”

"...If you mean using potions to solve soul problems, then my suggestion is that you should take a look at your brain." Snape thought about what Dumbledore said over and over again, and after making sure that he heard correctly, he spoke slowly Swallowed.

"Of course not, Severus," said Dumbledore, "I used Occlumency to help him temporarily isolate that piece of soul, but this isolation is not permanent. He must learn to master Occlumency on his own until I find the complete The solution to that soul.”

"There are many people who know Occlumency." Snape understood what Dumbledore meant, but he did not want to get involved in this trouble.

"You are the most suitable candidate." Dumbledore lowered his head slightly, staring directly at Snape with his blue eyes behind his half-moon glasses.

Snape knew what this meant - Dumbledore had made his decision.

Not many people could make Dumbledore change his decision.

"I think," Snape looked at the sleeping boy and then at Dumbledore, "at least, I should know the reason."

"His power, control over magic, and involvement in the realm of death are something I have never seen in any other magical creature."

Dumbledore looked at the unconscious Lu Mingfei, "In that battle in the soul realm, I inevitably saw part of that boy's memory, from which I obtained part of the answer... He came from another world."

"Another world," Snape repeated.

"Yes, it raises serious questions. Will more people like him come to our world, and will they have similar abilities to this boy? Severus, in my memory , I think you should have seen his power. If there are many such people... it will undoubtedly be enough to change the situation of the entire wizarding world, and even the entire world."

Dumbledore said, "I have to think about these issues and prepare for them."

"Perhaps we can get more answers from his memory." Snape said coldly, "As long as we repeat and carefully use Legilimency..."

"Severus!"

Snape shut his mouth.

"First of all, he is a boy who has just turned 16 years old." Dumbledore's tone was slightly calmer. "Secondly, he is very similar to you. This is one of the important reasons why I handed him over to you."

"Like me?" Snape's eyes widened slightly as he spoke carefully.

"Oh, you'll find out," Dumbledore winked, "before long."

……

Lu Mingfei felt like his whole body was falling apart.

There was a sense of relaxation everywhere, and even the hands, feet, and thumbs could not control their movements. Fortunately, the severe pain before fainting disappeared, and the eyes were dark... Could this be the feeling of going to heaven? Has heaven recently advocated saving electricity?

Lu Mingfei felt that he might be able to go to heaven. After all, he had never done anything illegal or disciplinary in his life. The worst thing was probably copying homework... I don't know that he was planning to open a small account and pretend to be a girl to molest his cousin. Does Lu Mingze count? After all, it was just a plan.

Just when he was thinking about what things in his life could be considered "sins", a series of English words jumped into his ears. Lu Mingfei's English is not bad, or in other words, the only thing in his subject that is passable is English, and he can understand the meaning of those words clearly.

"His body... doesn't need medicine at all... it has already repaired itself before getting here..."

"He is still a sixteen-year-old child. After such a thrilling battle... I think he needs some sleeping pills to get a full rest..." Hearing this, Lu Mingfei struggled to groan and tried to open his eyes. eyes.

Didn't he die?

It was still dark when he saw it, but soon a soft light came on, followed by two sets of footsteps approaching outside the door, and the two people noticed his awakening.

Lu Mingfei, who quickly adapted to the light, subconsciously looked around - a spacious, beautiful round room with picture frames hanging on the walls. The pictures were filled with old foreigners in various costumes, but for some reason they were all there. Sleep, sleep posture exhibition room?
  Lu Mingfei was not interested in the sleeping postures of foreigners, especially old foreigners, so he just passed by in a hurry. Even when he saw an old man's eyes opening in a portrait, he didn't pay attention, but focused on... Wait, eyes open?

After reacting, Lu Mingfei quickly moved his gaze back. The richly dressed old man in the portrait closed his eyes tightly and did not open them, as if he was asleep.

"Did I see it wrong?" Lu Mingfei's eyes stayed on the portrait for a while, making sure that the other person had not opened his eyes, and then slowly turned his head and looked at the strange creature that he had noticed before. It was... a A bird?

A gorgeous, bright red bird, about the same size as a swan, with a long shining golden tail, a golden beak and long claws, was resting on a shelf with its eyes closed.

But Lu Mingfei didn't have time to think about what kind of creature this was, and he turned around suddenly!
  All the people in the portraits hanging on the walls opened their eyes and stared at him.

"Ahhh!" Lu Mingfei's eyes widened and he screamed in horror. He knew something was wrong!

The scream took on a higher pitch when he saw the person in the portrait moving and covering his ears.

The door to the room was pushed open, and Dumbledore walked in. He only took one look to understand what happened.

"Calm down, kid." He said, as if there was magic in his voice, and Lu Mingfei's scream stopped just like that.

"You...are you?" Lu Mingfei looked at the old man in front of him. Although he was dressed a little strangely, he looked surprisingly familiar, as if he had seen him before. "Where am I? Did you save me?"

"I am Albus Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts. You are in my office now." Dumbledore looked at Lu Mingfei with his deep blue eyes, "My child, are you okay?"

This "How are you" dialogue directly triggered Lu Mingfei's hidden response mechanism as a person who has received Chinese education. He didn't bother to ask where "Hogwarts" is, and said "I'm fine thank you and you?" ” blurted out without thinking.

"Oh... thank you for your concern. Of course I'm fine." Dumbledore was a little confused by Lu Mingfei's sudden and fluent response. He blinked and asked, "Do you remember what happened before?"

"I seemed to be being chased by a spider...and then...I don't remember it." Lu Mingfei tried to remember, but he could only recall the last scene of the spiders waving their claws towards him.

"As expected." Dumbledore nodded, put the Elder Wand against his temple again, and with Lu Mingfei's shocked eyes, he pulled out the silver thread representing memory, raised it, and turned it into a mist surrounding it.

Lu Mingfei wanted to ask, but the mist that quickly became passive attracted his attention. It was a moving picture, and the person in the picture was him. After he fainted when the spiders pounced on him, he opened his eyes with burning golden pupils, transformed into a dragon, tore them apart, and then fought with Dumbledore. There was a fight!
  "Is this... me?" Lu Mingfei touched his back blankly, trying to find the bulge protruding from the surface of the skin, which was the part where he released the dragon wings in the picture.

"Yes. That is the power hidden in your body, child. I don't know its origin, but it obviously saved your life in life and death... and will also make you lose your mind and that period to a certain extent. The memory of time," said Dumbledore.

"I, but, you..."

Lu Mingfei didn't know what to say for a moment. He really wanted to say, if this is some kind of reality show, please stop. My aunt's house has not turned off the gas. I want to go back and light a fire, but everything that happened before - it was bigger than a car. Spiders, moving paintings, strange birds, and animations of silver threads pulled out of the brain turning into mist...it is impossible for all of these to be fake.

He seemed to have really traveled through time and came to another world. There are magical species and powers in this world, even within his own body, but he never knew about them before.

But he can actually turn into a dragon? This is too ridiculous! How to hide so many scales, bone spurs and wings is not scientific at all!

"No offense, when I was fighting with the ancient soul in your body, I saw part of your memory, so I know it may be difficult for you to accept, but it is all true." Dumbledore seemed to know that Lu Mingfei was there What do you think, say.

"An ancient soul in my body?" Lu Mingfei felt that the huge amount of information was too much for his brain to process.

"Yes, an ancient, evil soul is trying to occupy your body and erode your power... He has succeeded in part. I used Occlumency to isolate him, but this isolation is not permanent, only temporary. Until I can find a way to remove it, you must learn to use Occlumency yourself." Dumbledore said, "Severus."

Lu Mingfei saw another man named Severus come in. The man seemed to have been standing outside the door waiting before. He had shoulder-length, greasy black hair that stuck to his face like a curtain. . Wearing a flowing black robe, his lips were upturned, and his deep black eyes were staring straight at Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei looked away unnaturally. With just one glance, he felt that this person was difficult to deal with, and the pressure he brought to him seemed to be greater than that of all his head teachers from childhood to seniority combined.

"I have too much on my plate to teach you, so Severus is the most suitable person. Professor Severus Snape, who is my equal in Occlumency," said Dumbledore , "At the same time, Severus will also be responsible for answering your questions. I think this should be very important for you coming to a completely unfamiliar world."

"Thank you... thank you." Lu Mingfei felt a little confused.

"I will temporarily arrange for you to live in Hogwarts. It is safe here and you can learn slowly." Dumbledore said, "If you have no objections?"

"Me? Of course not, I just want to ask." Lu Mingfei swallowed, as if the question he was about to ask was difficult.

"Oh, of course." Dumbledore nodded and motioned for Lu Mingfei to speak.

"Can I... go back, that is, back to my world?" Lu Mingfei asked hopefully.

This hope gradually diminished in Dumbledore's silence.

"I don't know, kid." Dumbledore hesitated for a moment and said, "I would be happy to send you back if I could, but right now... I don't know. Maybe, in the future, when we figure out how you got here After here, it should be okay.”

Lu Mingfei looked at Dumbledore blankly. Dumbledore's voice was very kind and his words made sense, but Lu Mingfei felt panic because the converse was also true.

He finally realized that he was far away from the world he was familiar with, and that he might never be able to go back.

Huge panic surged into his heart, impacting his exhausted brain and body. His eyes darkened and he fainted.
