Time Secret Art: Nagini Reborn

Aberforth was heartbroken for his son, and finally, he reluctantly apologized to the teenage wizard.

He was, after all, Dumbledore's brother, and Xiwen didn't want to embarrass him too much, so he accepted his apology with great understanding.

"This method of dealing with my brother's bad temper looks so familiar. Who did you learn this trick from?" Dumbledore asked Xiwen as they walked to the inner room.

"Oh, that. Actually, I overheard Professor McGonagall criticizing your brother. I think her tit-for-tat approach is quite effective," Xiwen said with a smile. "He's not my professor, so why does he look down on me?"

"In the end, it's your appearance that's so deceptive," Dumbledore shook his head and chuckled.

Soon, the group arrived at the basement of the Hog's Head. A large space had been created here using the Undetectable Extension Charm to facilitate Nagini's daily activities.

Aurelius stood beside a giant twelve-foot-long viper, silently watching her. The viper frequently made moves to attack him, but Aurelius easily dodged them each time by transforming into black mist.

"Aurelius, Albus has brought you someone who says he can change Nagini's condition," Aberforth said. His gruff voice seemed to soften immediately upon seeing Aurelius.

Aurelius turned his head and saw Xiwen and Dumbledore walking side by side. He smiled and nodded to them, then carefully looked behind them and around them, his expression becoming somewhat puzzled.

"Stop looking, the person you're looking for is me..." Xiwen said, his face darkening.

"You?" Aurelius paused for a moment, then looked at Dumbledore with a questioning gaze.

Dumbledore smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, the person I've asked for help this time is Mr. Rozier."

Aurelius then looked at Xiwen and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Rozier. I really didn't expect you to be here to help."

'Am I here to help, or to watch the show...?' Xiwen thought to himself.

However, he still nodded politely and said, "It's alright, you're much more pleasant to be around than your father..."

"Alright, let's get back to our work." Dumbledore clapped his hands, interrupting their conversation, then looked at Xiwen and asked, "Is there anything we need to prepare?"

"Try to keep Nagini calm and prevent her from getting too agitated," Xiwen said.

Dumbledore nodded and casually gestured.

"Incarcerous."

Immediately, a strong rope wrapped tightly around Nagini, tying a cute bow above the viper's head. Nagini tried to struggle, but was completely unable to break free of the rope's restraints.

"That should be fine," Dumbledore said with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Aurelius, watching the serpent being bound, seemed to feel a pang of pity.

However, he quickly suppressed his emotions and said softly to the giant snake, "Nagini, please bear with me for a few minutes, it will be over soon."

Seeing that Aurelius could maintain a gentle expression even when facing a viper, Xiwen couldn't help but shudder and secretly praised him as a "brave warrior"...

"Mr. Rozier, may we begin now?" Aberforth said stiffly from the side. He had never used honorifics with a teenage wizard like this before, and it made him feel as uncomfortable as if he had eaten years of dirt from the Hog's Head.

"Okay, we can begin." Xiwen also snapped out of his daze and walked over to Nagini.

"Don't get close to this area while I'm casting my spell, or it might cause problems," he said to the three people beside him, mainly to Aurelius and Aberforth.

Xiwen's reminder was not unfounded, because he could sense that the time energy within the Eye of Agamotto was not inexhaustible. If others entered the casting range, it could lead to problems such as increased consumption of time energy.

It would be a great pity if, due to this mistake, the energy was insufficient to fully restore Nagini's human consciousness.

Seeing that Aurelius and Aberforth both nodded, Xiwen took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.

He solemnly took the Eye of Agamotto out of his pocket and pinned it to his chest.

Then, Xiwen stretched out his hands, formed a hand seal in Eye of Agamotto, and silently recited the corresponding incantation.

At the same time, he slowly pulled his hands apart in front of him, and two mysterious green light seals quietly appeared in front of his palms. One of them transformed into several halos of light and wrapped around his right forearm as his left hand moved.

The four arcs that formed the Eye of Agamotto also separated, revealing a strange eye within the perfectly circular structure.

Immediately, green light shot out from the eerie eyes, shining on the giant snake Nagini, who was tightly bound by ropes.

Seeing this, Xiwen slowly opened his palm and pushed the green light seal in front of his right palm forward, stopping it directly above Nagini.

With the preliminary spellcasting completed, Xiwen slowed his movements and took a deep breath.

The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and, with great effort, began to rotate his right hand, with its five fingers spread, counterclockwise.

The veins on his long, slender fingers were bulging, and each finger seemed to be under tremendous pressure.

However, Xiwen's hand did not tremble at all, and slowly and steadily rotated counterclockwise, causing the green light seal in front of his palm to continue to rotate as well.

Sensing the changes in her body, Nagini reacted immediately and struggled violently.

Aurelius was startled and couldn't help but take a step forward, but Dumbledore grabbed his shoulder and stopped him in place.

Dumbledore slowly shook his head at him.

Aurelius a deep breath and calmed down a little. But his clenched fists and unblinking eyes betrayed his deep-seated tension.

Meanwhile, Xiwen's spellcasting continued.

Before him, the withered yellow weeds on the ground were gradually tinged with green, and the dry grass blades gradually became tender and lush. Under the influence of the energy of time, the changes in the grass never stopped. The long, lush green grass blades slowly shrank and retreated, eventually shrinking back into the ground.

After the grass disappeared, withered petals seemed to coalesce in the earth, floating up in a way that defied gravity, connecting with the newly emerged flower stems. Subsequently, the withered petals became exceptionally vibrant, even attracting several butterflies that appeared out of nowhere.

Before these little butterflies even touched the petals, they had already lost their ability to fly, turning into several pupae and falling to the ground. Finally, they seemed to transform into several colorful caterpillars, crawling helplessly along the edges of the flower petals.

Meanwhile, Nagini, the protagonist in this area, gradually lost her initial struggle and panic. A sense of confusion began to emerge in her emotionless snake eyes. This confusion slowly became more human, and she was no longer as clueless as a Beast.

Finally, Xiwen's counter-clockwise right hand stopped. The tip of his middle finger pointed straight to the left, with no room to continue rotating.

So Xiwen started with his little finger, bringing his fingers together one by one, and clenched his right hand into a fist, with the green light imprint on the outside of his fist.

The green light also stopped spinning and floated quietly in front of Xiwen.

Xiwen saw that the giant viper in front of him had completely disappeared, replaced by a beautiful and charming Asian woman—she was wearing a dark blue silk dress, her long black hair was tied up behind her head, and she was lying quietly in the flower bushes in front of her.

A rope was loosely wrapped around her shapely body, eventually tying into a cute bow in her hair bun at the back of her head...
