Perhaps the word "lying" is not appropriate. His body shape is a bit too developed, more like being stuffed into a hospital bed with his legs bent into an "O" shape.

His mouth was opened wide, revealing his giant monster-like teeth, as if he was moaning, and his brows were knitted together, showing an expression of extreme pain.

Weizet recognized this boy, "It's actually Marcus Flint!"

Marcus Flint is the captain of the Slytherin Quidditch team and serves as a chaser like Weizet. He played against Weizet last year, so Weizet has some impressions.

Dumbledore was wearing an emerald green robe, standing at the corner of the hospital bed, as if waiting for something.

The real Dumbledore appeared next to Weizet and whispered: "Here he comes!"

The next second, Snape appeared in black robes, holding a steaming potion in his hand.

He placed the potion on the bedside table and waved his wand at Marcus Flint;

With a "click-click" sound, Marcus Flint's mouth opened little by little;

The steaming potion flew up from the bottle like a fountain and poured into Marcus Flint's mouth.

The potion took effect quickly, and the pain on Marcus Flint's face dissipated a lot, but his face was still pale.

Snape put down his wand, "It's not a matter of antidote and poison. You should be able to tell."

Marcus Flint's mouth immediately closed, and his big fangs hit his lips, and a faint bloodshot immediately oozed out.

"Oh?" Snape raised his eyebrows, walked around the hospital bed to the end of the school doctor's room, and took out a bottle of uplifting potion from the cabinet.

He did the same thing again, opening Marcus Flint's mouth and pouring all the invigorating potion in.

Almost all of the potions in the school hospital were brewed by Snape, so they quickly took effect. Marcus Flint's face was no longer so pale, and had a bit more color.

However, within a few minutes, the blood color disappeared, and Marcus Flint returned to his face as pale as paper.

"What an unexpected harvest...", Dumbledore in green robes groaned, "Now it is clear that the biggest loss is vitality."

"And it is the continuous loss of vitality." Snape added, "Pain and nightmares are caused by poison, and coma is a spontaneous protection."

After listening to the conversation between the two, Weizet also understood, "Soul, blood, body... Is there a soul that draws life force through blood?"

This was the blood magic that Salazar Slytherin had talked about with him before when he was in the mirror world. The body and soul can transform and regenerate each other;

The soul dominates and affects the body through the blood. Paleness means less blood, and less blood means weakened vitality;

Usually in this case, the effect of the invigorating potion is enough. If the effect is not as expected, you can also take some regular blood-enhancing potions;

If the uplifting potion takes effect normally, then the color on Marcus Flint's face should not disappear, at least it should last for a longer period of time.

However, the current situation is very special. The invigorating potion did work, but it did not stay in the body for too long. From this, we can draw the conclusion mentioned by Weizet——

A soul that does not belong to Marcus Flint is sucking the life force out of Marcus Flint.

"Have you started to come into contact with blood magic?" A hint of surprise appeared on the real Dumbledore's face, "I remember that in the library, there was very little content about blood magic, and it was very dangerous."

Weizet did not deny it, and nodded very simply, "So I learned a little bit about blood magic from another way."

"Guardian!" Dumbledore exclaimed, "Let's go out and talk about the next thing!"

The two returned to the principal's office, and Weizet returned to the previous topic, "Principal Dumbledore, Lockhart should have done it, right?"

"Today's Daily Prophet has reported that Lockhart prepared an effective antidote and cured the comatose student."

"Now it seems that it is nothing more than that he no longer absorbed the life force, and even fed back part of the life force, so those students woke up."

"The inference is correct." Dumbledore nodded, "But I think Lockhart is just an accomplice. This series of things reminds me of the former Voldemort..."

"The former Voldemort?" Weizet repeated this sentence, as if chewing on its meaning, "Principal Dumbledore, you mean... there is a second Voldemort's soul?"

"Yes! Magic is so unpredictable..." Dumbledore smiled slightly, "Did I mention it to you? What was Voldemort's name back then? It was his real name."

"I think..." Weizet thought for a moment and shook his head slightly, "No!"

"Then let's find out!" Dumbledore raised his wand and drew a string of golden writing in the air.

I AM LORD VOLDEMORT.

He waved his wand gently to change the order of the writing.

TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE.

"This..." Weizet looked at Dumbledore's eyes, and suddenly felt a familiar feeling.

He now understood why he, Dumbledore, and Snape looked strange when they were exploring the secrets in the Chamber of Secrets.

"Yes, it's very strange, isn't it?" Dumbledore took out a lemon sorbet from his pocket, "But we believe you, this is just a fun little trick."

Watching Weizet take the Lemon Olaf, Dumbledore smiled with satisfaction and continued: "Let me tell you about Tom Riddle back then..."

"He is very purposeful and will take the initiative to understand the professors' preferences. He will also take the initiative to develop interpersonal relationships and use his own advantages to..."

Listening to Dumbledore's description, Weizet looked strange;

At least when using Dobby's memory, he just felt that it suddenly felt a bit absurd. How could he be similar to Voldemort?

Now listening to what Dumbledore said about the past, he seemed to suddenly be able to understand why Lucius Malfoy thought of him as Voldemort through a diary...

Chapter 32 It feels like taking off the shackles

Dumbledore noticed the change in Weizet's expression, waved his hand and said, "Do you remember what I once told you?"

"It's our choice to express who we truly are, which is more important than our abilities."

"The moment you chose to enter Ravenclaw, there was a fundamental difference between you and Tom...that is, Voldemort."

“It’s important that we don’t focus so much on the similarities and look at the differences.”

Wizette nodded and did not dwell on this issue. Following what Dumbledore said just now, he tried to think about the differences between Voldemort and Tom Riddle.

He had a head-on contact with Voldemort at the end of the last school year, and now he got to know Voldemort during his student days - Tom Riddle - from Dumbledore's mouth.

"Principal Dumbledore, why do I think... his methods are more sophisticated? He seems to know how to package himself, and he seems to be good at... performing conspiracy?"

"So Tom Riddle is behind the current series of events? Fifty years ago, he framed Hagrid and cleared his suspicions..."

"Now he wants to frame you, so..." He frowned slightly, "What is his purpose... He once got Hagrid fired, but now..."

Weizet's expression became strange, "Principal Dumbledore, he wants to kick you out of the school? Is there something... um..."

"Really?" Dumbledore laughed. "It's a little naive and childish. He thinks that after driving me away, he can do whatever he wants in Hogwarts."

"But unfortunately, the crisis in the secret room has been resolved... He actually realized this, so he turned to Miss Parkinson as a scapegoat, and then tied him to the Parkinson family."

"He should be like a spider, weaving a big web. Those pure-blood families, the Daily Prophet, and the Ministry of Magic have all become part of the spider's web, intentionally or unintentionally."

"If I'm not wrong, after I leave Hogwarts, he will plan an 'accident' to purge those students from so-called 'Muggle families'."

Weizet quickly asked: "So now...should we deal with Lockhart first? To avoid such an accident?"

"But is it too late? If it was the Tom Riddle of the past, maybe he is no longer with Lockhart now."

"Yes, this possibility does exist. After all, he is a soul." Dumbledore took a deep look at Wizette, "So I plan to... push forward with this matter."

Wizette blinked and asked tentatively: "Principal Dumbledore, are you going to leave Hogwarts voluntarily under their so-called pressure?"

Dumbledore smiled slightly, "They are willing to do this and weave a big web. I have to let them play their role, right?"

"In addition to those complaint letters, my friends on the school board... also sent me letters. There are people on the school board who are working together to get me to leave the school in a formal way."

Weizet frowned slightly, "School Board of Directors?"

"The Hogwarts School Board." Dumbledore explained, "For example, the scholarship you received last school year and the normal operation of Hogwarts are actually all thanks to the School Board."

"The members here are quite complicated... After several rounds of reshuffles, during the time when Voldemort was raging, pure-blood families occupied most of the seats... Now it's half and half."

After hearing these words, Weizet finally understood, "Principal Dumbledore, do you plan to continue to reduce the number of pure-blood families?"

"This is one purpose..." Dumbledore crossed his fingers, with a slight arc at the corner of his mouth, "It is not easy to achieve this through ordinary means."

"But I'm lucky that Cornelius Fudge gave me such an opportunity... He was really too anxious. He could have waited a little longer..."

"They are even too anxious. They can wait a little longer... Let the parents of the students protest first, and then the Ministry of Magic will intervene..."

"It's this urgency that allows me to see the space where we can operate and save time... solve three problems at once."

He didn't know why, but after hearing this talk, he felt that Dumbledore seemed a little arrogant... as if he had removed some restraints and felt a little more sharp.

He could feel that Dumbledore had a good control over the overall situation, not only anticipating the other party's methods, but even using these methods to achieve the goals he wanted.

It should even be said that in the next period of time, the Ministry of Magic and the pure-blood families will develop in the direction envisioned by Dumbledore.

...

"Do you feel that I am a little strange?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, "Perhaps because of your appearance, I feel that... I can still shine for a while."

"Guardian?" Vizet looked at Dumbledore, his tone became much lower, "When you take the initiative to leave the school because of their coercion, what do I need to do?"

"Just like you said... Guarding Hogwarts..." Dumbledore said in a brisk tone, "Your appearance allows me to get rid of some of the constraints..."

He exhaled a long breath, took out a pile of cockroaches from his pocket, and chewed them by himself, "How to describe this feeling?"

"It feels like taking off the shackles, it's much easier. It's still interesting to use your brain like this occasionally."

Vizet thought of a question, "Will it affect the spell?"

"Of course not!" Dumbledore's tone became very gentle and kind, like an old grandfather sitting by the bed, coaxing his children and grandchildren to sleep.
