The Meaning of Saving Nagini

Sean listened silently to Harry's story, his mood becoming somewhat depressed.

A little girl mistakenly believes a curse to be a gift. After killing her beloved pet with her own hands, she loses her composure and begins to suppress herself. Her stubbornness prevents her from understanding her family's comforting words, Obscurus. Yet, she continues to suffer the torment of the Blood Curse...

He patted Harry on the shoulder and asked softly, "How is Daisy doing?"

Harry's expression softened slightly. "Fortunately, she is a truly intelligent and strong girl. Her mother has been by her side the whole time, and Daisy's mental state has improved a lot. However, the Blood Curse and the Obscurial coexist, and when she transforms, her own power cannot be controlled. Professor Dumbledore comes to our house every year, and he casts a spell on Daisy to alleviate her condition, but accidents still happen occasionally."

"Professor Dumbledore said that the Blood Curse and the Obscurus might be fighting for Daisy's body, which causes her to suffer considerable damage every time she changes form."

"Daisy had an outbreak last Christmas, and she's still receiving treatment at St. Mungo's's. My grandfather left behind a lot of connections, Professor Dumbledore also made a guarantee. Otherwise, Obscurial is about to have an outbreak wouldn't even be able to get into a hospital and would be under strict surveillance by the Ministry of Magic."

Seeing Harry's bitter expression, Sean, unsure how to comfort him, could only sigh deeply along with him.

After a moment of silence, Harry pleaded again, "Sean, could you tell me something, even something that could ease Daisy's pain? I'll do anything, please."

Seeing Harry's expectant eyes, Sean let out a breath and said in a deep voice, "Harry, I have no reason to refuse you, but I am really not an Obscurial. It was another gentleman who helped me that day."

Hearing his sincere tone, Harry's eyes flickered for a moment before dimming.

He could tell that Sean wasn't lying.

"And what about that gentleman?" Harry asked again, unwilling to give up.

Sean hesitated for a moment and said, "I can ask for you, but I can't guarantee it..."

"That's fine! Sean, you can offer me anything— Galleon, Potions, rare materials, anything!" Harry gripped his hand tightly.

"I'll try my best, Harry."

After parting ways with Harry, Sean sighed.

Aurelius and Dumbledore were clearly very close. In fact, Aurelius's Obscurus might have been suppressed with the help of Dumbledore and Grindelwald. However, Dumbledore did not help Daisy, which means that the two Obscurial in different situations.

The differences may be due to individual variations, or more likely, the coexistence of the Blood Curse and the Obscurus caused a terrible change that even Dumbledore dared not easily take action against.

Poor Daisy...

What Sean found strange and infuriating was who would cast Blood Curse on a little girl?

Dumbledore was clearly also searching for the answer.

A few days later, Sean and Dumbledore were walking together on their way to Snape's office.

"Sean, Harry told you about Daisy's situation, right?"

"Yes, Professor, it's unbelievable," Sean said in a deep voice. Sean had been feeling uneasy these past few days after hearing about Daisy's condition, as he also had a younger sister.

Dumbledore's expression also became much more serious. "Daisy's situation is very special, and Aurelius is not an ordinary Obscurial. It is difficult for me to apply my past experience to that poor child."

The sound of their footsteps and conversation echoed in the empty stone corridor.

"Professor, do you know who put a curse on Daisy?" Sean asked.

"This is also the answer I've been searching for. You know, there are very few wizards who can use Blood Curse. As far as I know, those people are mostly active in Southeast Asia."

"Sean, I told you before that Maledictus can only be female, right?"

Sean nodded, then asked in confusion, "You said that most of the existing Maledictus are descended from their family lineage."

"Yes, and Lily, Harry's mother, is clearly not a bearer of the Blood Curse. At the same time, we have not found any such case in Lily's ancestors. Going back a hundred years, the Evans family were all Muggle."

"Blood Curse can indeed be inherited across generations, but not across seven or eight generations. Therefore, Daisy's curse was planted by a heartless beast."

Sean had never heard Dumbledore use such a strong word to describe anyone before; clearly, casting a spell on a little girl had crossed his line.

The two walked to the door of Snape's office, where Dumbledore stopped.

"Sean, do you understand the significance of saving Nagini now?"

"Not only can it save a soul about to be devoured by the wild, but it can also save another young life, right, Professor?" Sean looked at the old man.

Dumbledore satisfaction. "Yes, if we can rescue Nagini, then I am confident that Daisy's situation can be alleviated even more. You know, I am still looking forward to the Potter couple ' children coming to Hogwarts."

He turned around and knocked on the wooden door. "However, remember not to mention the Potter family in front of your Potions professor, or the Potions might explode if your hand shakes."

A moment later, Snape, his face grim, opened the wooden door.

"You're a little late, Headmaster." He didn't even glance at Sean.

"Please forgive me, Severus, the old man's steps are always so slow. Alright, Sean, come in, we need your help today." Dumbledore winked at Sean.

Snape walked very fast, and Dumbledore followed nimbly. Sean closed the door and jogged after the two into Snape's Potion Room.

Nagini was locked in a cage in the corner, while on the table in the middle, two Cauldron were placed on a flame, and there was a large pile of parchment at the corner of the table.

On another, slightly smaller table, there were several glass tubes containing blood, presumably drawn from Nagini.

Dumbledore picked up the pile of parchment and looked at it. He exclaimed in surprise, "Severus, I didn't know you had already provided so many recipes. It must have taken you a lot of time!"

Snape said expressionlessly, "It's just a matter of writing down a few herbs. With a few random combinations, you can make countless recipes."

"Although I wouldn't call myself an expert in Potions, I can still see how ingenious these recipes are," Dumbledore exclaimed in admiration.

Sean blinked curiously. Speaking of which, did Snape know that the formula he was developing could save Daisy Potter?

Lily's daughter, and also James's daughter.
