After stabbing my ex-boyfriend, I went traveling

Most of the little wizards in Gryffindor were indeed reckless, but they were already in their third year. After the past two years of getting along with the Slytherin people, especially Yang Mei, they also roughly understood what kind of person this was.

Although they did not understand what was happening, they generally knew that this wave was aimed at Professor Lupin.

It would be better for them not to meddle in this matter, firstly because they were not very familiar with Professor Lupin, and secondly because they knew very well that they could not deal with people like Slytherin.

If Yang Mei knew what they were thinking, he would be very pleased to say, "Even the little wizard from Gryffindor, who was always known for his recklessness, has learned to know the current situation under his influence. If Godric Gryffindor knew about this, he would thank him in his dreams."

"That's all for today's class." Lupin said, but his voice was a little hesitant. He waved his wand and put the Boggart back into the closet.

All the little wizards walked out in a mighty procession.

There was a hint of struggle in Lupin's eyes, but he finally called out to Yang Mei.

"Mr. Selwyn, please wait a moment."

Yang Mei had expected this. He originally wanted Draco and the others to leave first, but Draco refused to do so this time, so only Zabini and the others left.

Lupin felt a little regretful after he stopped the man.

What else can he say if he keeps the person here?

Ask Yang Mei if she already knows that he is a werewolf?

Isn't that equivalent to self-destruction? !

Ask Yang Mei if he turned the Boggart into that just now as revenge for instigating Neville to imagine Snape wearing his grandmother's clothes and being laughed at by everyone?

Doesn't that mean he was the first to have bad thoughts?

Yang Mei and Draco just watched Lupin open his mouth, close his mouth, open his mouth, close his mouth...

"Professor Lupin, I don't think your illness can be cured in the school's medical wing. You'd better go to St. Mungo's as soon as possible." Yang Mei said innocently, as if she was giving sincere advice to others.

Lupin forced an ugly smile: "...I am not sick, I am just still amazed by Mr. Selwyn's magical talent.

I am very curious about the way you control Boggart, so I want to keep you here and discuss it with you.

I wonder if you have any skills in this area?"

Lupin thought about it and decided that he couldn't bring up the werewolf issue, nor mention whether he would take revenge. After all, there was still a one in ten thousand chance that this was just a coincidence.

If the other person didn't even know he was a werewolf and had no intention of taking revenge on him, wouldn't it be stupid for him to take the initiative to tell them?

And that little Malfoy. When he went to Snape's office to get the wolfsbane potion a few days ago, it was indeed little Malfoy who handed the potion to him, but he didn't think a third-year wizard could know about the wolfsbane potion, and he didn't think Snape would casually tell others about such a thing.

Taking this into consideration, Lupin brainstormed urgently and chose a topic that was somewhat related to the class just now.

Yang Mei looked at him with a half-smile: "What skills can there be? As long as you are proficient in the advanced silent and wandless transformation technique, anyone can do it."

Lu Ping: "..."

He seemed to be mocked.

After all, as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, he didn't dare to say that he was proficient in advanced silent and wandless Transfiguration.

And now he was sure that Selwyn knew that he was a werewolf and was trying to discredit Snape's image before taking revenge on him.

Otherwise, he must be sick. To deal with a small Boggart, he even used the advanced Transfiguration without sound and wand! ! It's really amazing!

Lupin didn't know how to continue with this. His face turned purple, and compared to his pale face just now, he looked more like a living person.

"Professor Lupin, have you heard of the story of 'The Farmer and the Snake'?" Yang Mei asked calmly, "The farmer felt sorry for the snake that was frozen in the snow, so he put the snake in his arms and used his body temperature to warm it. But he was wrong, the snake didn't know how to be grateful. After the snake woke up, it bit the farmer immediately.

Professor Lupin, do you think this snake should be saved?

The muscles on Lupin's cheeks twitched unnaturally. "Perhaps, after the snake woke up, it thought it was caught by a human, so its first reaction was to bite."

"You are quite good at making excuses for snakes. Are you saying that its bite was just a misunderstanding?" Yang Mei tilted her head and looked at him.

"Do you think this snake should not be saved?" Lupin asked back.

"Of course we should save them."

"Oh?" Lupin didn't understand.

Of course he understood that what Yang Mei really wanted to talk about was not the farmer and the snake, but was using this as an excuse to talk about the matter between him and Snape.

Lupin thought that Yang Mei would say that snakes should not be saved, which would be equivalent to saying that Snape should not help him make the wolfsbane potion.

But Yang Mei said that it was time to save him.

This really confused him.

"Do you know what the Selwyn family does?" Yang Mei suddenly asked an unrelated question.

Although he didn't understand, Lupin still said, "The Selwyn family is one of the twenty-eight sacred pure-blood families. The family has been around for thousands of years and has a deep heritage."

Yang Mei waited for a while: "No more?"

Lupine nodded.

"Ah!" Yang Mei felt exhausted, "To be honest, you bought your Hogwarts diploma with money, right?

I asked you if you knew what the Selwyn family did, was that your answer?

It is also a pure-blood family with a deep heritage.

You mean to say that our family is just living off the wealth accumulated by our ancestors!"

I was so speechless that I didn't even bother asking him.

"Most of my family members are businessmen, and businessmen are most concerned about profit. If I were a farmer, I would definitely save the snake, because from the perspective of profit, it is more valuable to extract the gallbladder from a live snake, while the value of a dead snake is greatly reduced!

I am saying this, can you understand it?"

Lupin didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

Yang Mei frowned and said, "Think about it yourself. It's enough for you to think about it for a year."

I thought it was a werewolf who called him and was going to speak openly to him about my identity as a werewolf, but this is the result?

What a waste of time.

"So the person I saved was of no use at all!" Draco realized belatedly.

"I asked you to leave first, but you insisted on staying." Yang Mei spread her hands.

Draco had no place to vent his anger, so he threw a series of punches into the air.

Yang Mei watched him go crazy silently.

"I'll go to the Chamber of Secrets and take a look. As for you, I think you should go to the Quidditch field to relax. You can't study potions all the time."

Mainly because Yang Mei felt that Draco had become more and more irritable recently, and it was hard to say whether it was because of the potion making.

Although Yang Mei doesn't like the sport of Quidditch, he doesn't want his good friend to become a pervert by staying in the house.

……

"Remember, it's an honor to go to Hogsmeade. Anyone who doesn't perform well in school has no right to go to Hogsmeade, and those who don't sign the opinion form are not allowed to go." Professor McGonagall said seriously in front of all the third-year wizards.

Standing next to her was Filch, who was smiling strangely.

Hogsmeade is the only village in Britain populated entirely by wizards, and it is located not far from Hogwarts.

Only young wizards in the third grade and above can visit Hogsmeade on weekends after obtaining permission from their parents or other guardians, that is, signing a consent form.

Draco grabbed Yang Mei's sleeve tightly, as if he was afraid that he would run away.

"I say, is it necessary? Hogsmeade is just a village. Is there any reason for me to go there?" Yang Mei lowered his head and yawned, and it was obvious that he was not awake yet.

Today is Saturday, shouldn’t I sleep in?

He didn't return to the dormitory to sleep until three o'clock in the morning last night. If he hadn't resisted strongly just now, Draco almost poured the energy potion into his mouth.

Unlike Malfoy, who would drink a bottle of beauty potion no matter what, Yang Mei advocated not taking potions if possible.

Obviously, compressed tablets and capsules have already appeared in the world of ordinary people, but the magical world has not made any progress in this regard.

Bad review!

"This is the first time we have the opportunity to go to Hogsmeade since we started attending Hogwarts. Why are you still sleeping in?!" Draco shook Yang Mei's body vigorously. "Wake up, wake up! We are still young people. Don't sleep so much like old people. Besides, it's your fault that you came back so late last night. Now you are so sleepy that you can't even open your eyes."

……

Last night, something unexpected did happen.

Yang Mei arrived at the secret room as familiarly as usual.

According to Salazar, the room had to be sealed while Voldemort reconstructed his physical body.

The door leading to the study will not open until the body is completely reshaped.

This is what Salazar said to Yang Mei: "I have already carved the magic circle for him, and I have prepared all the materials needed to rebuild his body. The rest depends on his own efforts. He is already in his 60s, and he doesn't need his ancestors to accompany him to rebuild his body."

Since the day Voldemort began to reshape his body, Yang Mei had come to the Chamber of Secrets several times, but the door was always tightly closed. Salazar, on the other hand, had been curled up on the couch in the study for a long time.

But this time it’s different.

As soon as Yang Mei entered the room full of snake head statues, she felt a chilly air, as if she had entered an ice storage.

When I entered the study through the secret door, the temperature dropped much lower than outside.

"What's going on? Did I travel to the North Pole?" Yang Mei was confused, but she kept walking.

In the huge study, everything was covered with a layer of frost, and Salazar was not there.

Looking again, he saw that the door to the room where Voldemort had reshaped his body was indeed open.

A chilly air continuously gushed out from inside.

Yang Mei walked in without thinking.

The first thing I saw after entering was... a thick snake tail?!

Not Helpo.

Helpo's body is dark green with black markings.

The snake's tail in front of me is jet black with gold patterns...so what is going on?

Yang Mei stepped over the winding snake tail and entered the center of the room, where he saw Saracha standing in front of the ice bed with her back to him.

Wait, an ice bed?

"Did you prepare this bed here in advance? I don't remember it being here before." Yang Mei asked before she came close.

Salazar did not answer immediately, but moved sideways so that Yang Mei could see the scene on the ice bed.

Good, the owner of the snake's tail has been found.

This snake, to be exact, is half human and half snake. The dense snake scales disappear when they spread to the abdomen, and further up are white but explosive abdominal muscles.

His long black hair covered a lot of his upper body, but you could vaguely see some dark blue lines from his shoulder blades and collarbones to his neck.

Yang Mei's gaze finally fixed on his face.

His face was pale but still handsome, with clear profile, deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge. Although his eyes were closed, he still looked sharp.

"Something went wrong during the process of reshaping the body?"

Salazar snorted when he heard this: "It's all his own fault. When he merged the souls, he retained the autonomy of one of the soul fragments. In other words, even if the soul fusion is successful, two personalities will appear.

When the physical body is reshaped, it is a good time for the secondary personality to seize control of the body and fight for the dominant position.

This guy almost flipped over! Fortunately, he is not a loser and has successfully solved the problem. "

Even without asking, Yang Mei knew that the soul fragment was Riddle.

No wonder Riddle seemed to agree to the fusion of souls so easily at the beginning. It seems that Voldemort reached an agreement with him.

Now it seems that neither of them trusts the other.

However, age is always more important. Riddle, who only had memories before the age of 17, was still unable to defeat Voldemort, who had become the Dark Lord for many years.

"Come on, let's go out. It's very cold in here." Salazar called Yang Mei, "Let him stay here by himself. He should wake up in a few days."

Salazar walked out while muttering, "What an unfilial descendant! His ancestor was reading a book peacefully when a door panel flew out, luckily it didn't hit me. He is so arrogant just after having a physical body. What will happen in the future?"

Yang Mei burst out laughing when he heard this. He really thought Salazar was a wonderful person. If this person were in the prehistoric world, he would be worthy of making friends with him.

"What's up with his snake tail? He just reshaped his body, so how come he changed into a different species?" Yang Mei watched Salazar diligently reinstall the door, so she helped remove the layer of frost covering the study.

"Slytherin's ancestors were feathered serpents, but they later intermarried with human wizards, causing the feathered serpent bloodline to become increasingly diluted." Salazar explained, "Just like what happened to this kid before, there wasn't much Slytherin bloodline left, let alone feathered serpent bloodline. Now that he has purified his bloodline, the characteristics of the feathered serpent have emerged."

Quetzalcoatl, a kind of intelligent magical creature with a very long lifespan.

This is something that is priceless if you had known it earlier.

If Voldemort knew that purifying his bloodline could indirectly realize his wish for immortality, would he still choose to split his soul?

Yang Mei thought that if he could find a way to make a Horcrux, could he also find a way to purify his bloodline?

"By the way, Salazar, did you help him come up with a new name?" Yang Mei always remembered this not-so-important thing.
