Blood Curse and the Obscurus's Aberration

Sean shifted his position, wanting to stand up and escape this troublesome place, but Snape stood motionless in the middle of the office.

He'd heard something he shouldn't have... Sean sighed inwardly.

I hate Slowing Potion.

Snape's violently heaving chest gradually calmed down, and he slowly turned his head to look at Sean.

"Wallerup —Mr.," Snape's lips twitched, but Sean clearly heard the cold laugh he forced through clenched teeth, "Isn't it—interesting?"

"Professor, the side effects of the medicine haven't worn off yet. What did you two just talk about?" Sean tried his best to look confused.

Snape's gaze grew even colder. "Are you—questioning my Potions skills?"

Sean's face stiffened. Oh right, the Slowing Potion and the antidote were both given to him by Snape...

"Mr. Wallerup, as you have always shown, you have a great interest in all sorts of secrets," Snape said in a menacing whisper. "However, I am certain of one thing: it was Black who told you those things."

Snape was referring to the firework that Sean set off when he was mocking him.

This was hard to explain... Sean could only lower his head.

"That's true. I think I can understand why you like hanging out with people like Potter. Arrogant guys always like to work in pairs—" Snape turned around and vigorously waved his robes, making him look even more like a bat.

Snape sat back down in his seat, and Sean could even hear the creak of the hardwood stool as he sat down.

"Stupidity always grows strong, and then it calls itself great—" Snape looked at him, emphasizing the word 'stupid,' "So now, what is our great Mr. Wallop doing here?"

He narrowed his eyes. "Shall we continue to test the Potions professor's Potions skills?"

Sean quickly stood up. "I think I'm almost fully recovered..."

"Get out," Snape said, enunciating each word clearly.

Sean swallowed back his "Goodbye, Professor," and dashed out of the office.

After he left, Snape sat there like a stone statue until much later, when he finally let out a deep breath.

After leaving the office, Sean found Neville and Ron, and after telling them not to worry, he returned to the Common Room.

He lay back down on his soft four-poster bed, his mind still replaying the events of the day.

Nagini needs to calm down, and Snape needs to calm down too.

According to Professor Dumbledore, although the Blood Curse on Nagini was not completely lifted, it was finally under control. As long as she continued to take the medicine, she would not have to worry about becoming a mindless beast forever.

This is certainly a good thing. However, Daisy's situation will be more complicated. The coexistence of the Blood Curse and the Obscurus has caused other unpleasant changes. Professor Dumbledore said that he can only try to remove the Blood Curse first and then suppress the Obscurus.

What is most worrying is that the process of breaking the Blood Curse is inherently dangerous, and if the Obscurus erupt at that time, it could cause very serious consequences. Professor Dumbledore is seeking a better solution.

The premise is that Daisy's condition does not deteriorate too quickly.

He wondered if he would still need his help then... After thinking for a while, Sean, having exhausted a lot of energy, quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"Phew—" Sean let out a long breath as he rolled over and sat up. He looked at his watch; it was only a little past four in the morning.

The arched window of the Common Room had been opened by someone, and a cool night breeze stirred the curtains. Sean unconsciously pulled his collar up.

He was covered in sweat, and a gust of wind made him shiver involuntarily.

He walked over and closed the window. Sean looked up at the night sky through the glass. The Ravenclaw Tower was very tall, and standing there, he felt as if he were much closer to the moon.

"The moon..." Sean murmured to himself, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He had just had a dream, a dream where everything was blurry, so blurry that Sean couldn't see anything clearly. But he could feel an immense sense of oppression; he could feel warm liquid on the corner of his mouth; he could feel the increasingly faint breaths of the creatures around him...

In the dream, only the moon was clear. In the dream, he looked up and saw a huge, blurry black shadow sweep across the sky, above which was the same clear, bright, and gentle full moon that Sean saw now.

"What a strange dream..." Sean frowned.

Despite having a rather unpleasant dream and being quite hungry, Sean decided to go back to bed and sleep a little longer. After all, no one can resist a nap.

However, as soon as he turned his head, he saw golden-red flames dancing in the center of the Common Room.

Dumbledore emerged from the flames.

"Professor?" Sean called out instinctively.

"Shh—" Dumbledore put his finger to his lips to make a shushing gesture, then walked over and said softly and quickly, "I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams, Sean, but the matter is urgent, and I have no choice but to take the liberty."

"Now?" Sean was about to ask what happened when he realized what was going on.

Why did Dumbledore come to him at this time? Was it because of Daisy?

Seeing his expression, Dumbledore nodded. "You guessed right, Daisy's condition has suddenly worsened. I originally wanted to do more preparations, but now we have to act. Sean, I still need your help."

"That's no problem, but Daisy isn't in beast form, is she?" Sean asked doubtfully.

Nagini maintained her serpentine form for decades, so she had to suppress her wild instincts, but Daisy shouldn't have reached that level yet.

"Yes, but the animalistic wildness brought by the Blood Curse is deeply ingrained in the soul. Moreover—" Dumbledore's expression turned grave, "There has never been a case of Blood Curse and Obscurus coexisting. I have yet to reach a complete conclusion on how the wildness of the Blood Curse erodes the soul."

"But—" Dumbledore's voice grew heavier and heavier, "The reason Daisy is in such a bad state is very likely because the Obscurus has also been corrupted by the Blood Curse."

"Erosion?" Sean's eyes widened. "Professor Scamander told me that Obscurus itself has no consciousness, and they often disappear when the host dies."

"But don't forget, the Blood Curse brings another consciousness, the wildness of animals..." The moonlight streaming through the window shone on Dumbledore's aged face, and Sean could even see the deep wrinkles on his face.
