Hogwarts: The Obscurial War School

Aurelius kept waving his magic wand at the mouse, causing it to jump up and down mischievously.

All this was watched by Nagini in an iron cage not far away.

Ever since that cocktail, Nagini had been wary of Aurelius.

Not only has that dangerous feeling not been forgotten over time, but it has become increasingly clear and ingrained in my mind as I continue to recall and think about it.

Aurelius was right next to him, how could Nagini resist observing him?

Nagini hid it well, and she didn't think Aurelius found out.

But, Nagini was naive.

How could she know how powerful magic is without ever learning magic? What ability does something like Mo Ran have that she has never heard of?

Nagini peered at him, he had always known that this was what he wanted.

"You... are practicing magic?"

Nagini couldn't hold it back after all.

"Of course, magic is vast and profound. How can you be lazy if you want to explore the true meaning of magic?" Aurelius nodded.

He dared to practice Legilimency in front of Nagini, which must be said to be very bold.

The best way to defend yourself against Legilimency is if you know he knows Legilimency.

Concealment when casting spells is a feature of Legilimency, but it would be much better if you were prepared in advance.

But Nagini didn't know Legilimency, and Aurelius didn't shout the spell out loud. So he wasn't worried.

"Are you not a wizard?" Nagini fell silent again after asking. Aurelius would not let go of this opportunity, so he asked casually.

"I was arrested when I was nine years old. Do you think I have a chance to go to school?" Nagini looked at the dark ceiling and laughed to herself.

Aurelius glanced at her: "This is not good. I must say, you are lucky."

"Lucky? Being imprisoned, being abused, having to face those eyes, and... facing a future where you have to become a monster, you call this luck?" Nagini looked at him sarcastically.

Aurelius didn't care, but nodded again: "Of course, luck depends on the comparison. The blood curse is unfortunate, but at least you are still alive. If you suppress your magic power unconsciously, you will It will become a more terrifying monster and more painful——"

Nagini snorted, "I don't think anything could be worse than this!"

"Moran -"

"What?"

"A monster born from repressed magic power. It will continue to devour the host, everything! Spirit, vitality, you have to face its bewitchment and torture all the time, suppress it, and control it." Aurelius looked far away: " But as you get older, it will become harder and harder to control you, the pain will increase day by day, and you will not be able to sleep, because once you fall asleep, you will turn into a demon. Eventually - usually around the age of ten, you will be completely unable to control the Obscurus, the Obscurus. It will break out of the body, just like the soundless bird that sings the most beautiful voice in its life before dying, Obscurus will cause the most terrible disaster and damage, and then drag the host to die together in the ultimate disaster..."

"..." Nagini opened her mouth wide.

Ah this...

"Captivity, abuse, and being unable to go to school are factors that can easily induce Obscurus. You don't have it, so you are lucky." Aurelius returned to smiling.

Nagini shook her head and laughed at herself: "Thinking about it this way, I seem to be very lucky," but she looked at Aurelius again: "Only if what you say is true."

"What's worth lying to you about? Obscuras were very common hundreds of years ago. Too many wizards were persecuted, which led some wizards to deliberately suppress their magic power and generate obscurs." Aurelius smiled.

Nagini seemed to have caught the loophole in Aurelius's rhetoric: "Hundreds of years ago? Does that mean it's rare now?"

"It can be said that hundreds of years ago, silence occurred frequently because Muggles and wizards hated each other, and various persecution of wizards led to all this. However, now because of the "Secrecy Act", wizards and Muggles rarely come into contact. , Obscurus will naturally become less common."

"Then how do you know so much?" Nagini asked.

"..." Aurelius seemed stunned, and he didn't speak again.

Nagini looked at him, suspicion rising in her eyes.

After a long time, Aurelius chuckled: "Ha - there's nothing that can't be said." He looked at Nagini, and his arm slowly dissipated, like ashes burned by flames, and turned into a hand-shaped wave. Black Mist, "This is Obscurus."

"!" Nagini's eyes widened: Here we come! It’s that dangerous feeling again!

"You...you are? Obscurus?!"

Aurelius shook his head: "In fact, those who are parasitized by the Obscurus should be called the Obscurus."

His arm returned to its original shape.

"This is impossible! You just said that those who are sent by Obscurus will not live until the age of ten!" Nagini shouted at the top of her voice.

"I said 'usually' - but as far as I know, apart from me, no Obscurus has lived to be ten years old." Aurelius smiled, looking very proud of himself.

It took Nagini a long time to accept this information.

She asked: "Why? Why did you tell me?"

"We all have an unfortunate life. You were born with a blood curse, and you are destined to completely forget that you are a human being one day in the future, and spend the rest of your life as a snake. I have had no parents since I was a child, and was abused and whipped by my adoptees, and even because of this It gave birth to Obscurus. Nagini, I can relate to your experience——" Aurelius showed his palm to Nagini.

Scars are intertwined and covered all over the palm, which is the best proof of the tragic past.

"That's why I can be kind to you."

Nagini closed her eyes and felt empathy, which is the superpower of human beings. Especially kind girls.

This is why Aurelius revealed his identity as the Obscurus.

But at the same time, Aurelius knew very well what it meant to go too far.

He quickly changed the subject: "I'm not worried that you will tell others. No one will believe you if you say it..."

"Because the Obscurus can't live to be ten years old?" Nagini is also a smart girl.

"Yes, smart girl." Aurelius stretched out his hand: "Nice to meet you, beautiful girl, my name is Aurelius."

Nagini hesitated for a moment, smiled sweetly, and gently held the hand extended by Aurelius: "I am also very happy to meet you, the boy who loves to lie. Nagini."

"? Why do I lie so much? Everything I say is true!" Aurelius cried out.

"You lied to Skander that you are a graduate of Ilvermorny. You must have never gone to school, right?"

"..."
