Chapter 155 Black Matter
Jian Yu has not yet learned the bad news that he may be required to take another course.
After all, final exams are still going on in one venue after another.
"Yu, even though you are my future boss, I won't let you down on the exam."
Professor Lupin smiled gently at Jane Yu, indicating that she could start the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.
She observed the way the exam was conducted and found the outdoor exam questions given by Lupin very interesting.
She has to wade through a deep pool of grindylows, cross a series of potholes filled with red hats, walk through a swamp filled with hinkypunk misdirection, and finally crawl into an old trunk to fight a new boggart.
She began the test with great interest, and quickly passed the magical creatures with very low danger levels and came to the old box.
She was curious about what her Boggart would be.
Maybe Hogwarts? The Dumbledore who said "You shall not drop out of school"? Or was it the wizarding war that gave Voldemort a big opportunity to eat the big melon?
But maybe it won’t turn into anything.
After all, her soul had been enhanced, with the effect of Occlumency, so Boggart might not be able to read her fear.
But the Boggart underwent a change she had not expected.
It turned into a mass of black, inky fluid with a red core and shiny white eyes.
This mass of black matter began to crash into the box, flying very fast, and it was so violent...
What is this?
But Jian Yu had no time to think.
She fell into the box, feeling like she had lost control of her body. Her whole body was shaking uncontrollably, and every cell in her body was transmitting an inexplicable pain and fear to her.
The black ink rushed towards her like a raging torrent, seeming to swallow her whole and drown her in endless darkness. She had to breathe deeply to prevent herself from suffocating.
But as she took a deep breath, she realized that this emotion did not come from her soul, but rather from somewhere else... like a layer of fog... a layer of gauze...
"Fight it, defeat the fear!"
"Magic is a part of you, accept it... embrace it..."
Her soul was shouting in her subconscious, but she didn't know who she was talking to, as if she was a non-existent person.
She didn't know how long she had been shouting, but she felt that she was able to move again. Her soul gradually took control of her body, and her right hand slowly touched the wand in her robe.
"riddikulus!"
The Boggart turned into a ball of black yarn. It fell to the bottom of the box and stopped moving, with a piece of yarn falling out.
Her soul seemed to have taken over her body again, and the fear that came from nowhere suddenly receded like the tide.
A young female voice let out a satisfied sigh from deep within her mind, as if expressing gratitude.
It was like something had been pulled out of the body, perhaps the remnant of the original owner's soul, or perhaps some obsession...
Jian Yu felt that his five senses became particularly sharp, and he could even hear Lupin's voice outside the box.
She moved her hands and feet, and found that her limbs had become extremely flexible.
The magic power that had been fluctuating due to rapid growth also calmed down, flowing steadily and gently in her body.
It was not until this moment that she felt a sense of reality, and her body and soul seemed to be tightly fitted together as if they were glued together by 502 glue.
She realized that she had truly become the master of this body.
"Is that an... Obscurus?"
She murmured, unable to come back to her senses for a while.
"We'll have to ask Dumbledore sometime."
She had to figure out what had happened to the original owner, the girl with the same name as her.
Even though her soul was gone, the remaining obsession still remained hidden in her body for a long time...
——Until I silently turned the Boggart into a ball of black yarn.
Perhaps the original owner's cause of death was not simple.
......
But when all the exams were over, Jian Yu wandered into the principal's office and met Minister Fudge again.
Both Dumbledore and he looked unhappy, one had a gloomy face and a stiff expression, while the other's face turned red.
"This is extremely irresponsible behavior, Connelly."
Dumbledore motioned for Jian Yu to sit down beside him:
"Petiger escaped, but you did nothing to remedy the situation, leaving the safety of the wizards at risk—"
Jian Yu could tell that his words were very serious.
Fudge looked embarrassed and reluctant:
"I can't - I ...
"With two consecutive prisoner escapes, what will happen to the Ministry of Magic's credibility? I will also be asked to resign."
He glanced at Jian Yu and his expression became even more embarrassed.
"I need help, Albus," Fudge muttered. "Look, you and your children - this Miss Jane, since she can catch a fugitive once, maybe she can find a way -"
Dumbledore was furious.
He tried to calm himself down to prevent himself from cursing him right then and there:
"What do you want a thirteen year old to do?"
Fudge looked in astonishment at Dumbledore, whose hair and beard stood upside down in anger. He waved his hands, and his desire to survive made him quickly continue:
"No, no, I just wanted to say—"
"Perhaps you can help with this—"
"I don't think I can do anything." Dumbledore said coldly, "Since you are unwilling to send Aurors to search for Pettigrew, our conversation today ends here."
He stood up and saw the guest off.
After seeing the minister off, Dumbledore returned to his usual gentle expression.
He smiled and said to Jian Yu:
“Although you only studied 11 subjects, you took exams for 12.”
"Quite a fun little surprise, isn't it?"
Jian Yu's hair stood on end.
She thought of the math test paper, and an ominous premonition began to ferment.
"Professor Victor is willing to spend Sunday tutoring you." Dumbledore looked very happy. "Arithmetic Divination is much more rigorous than Divination..."
"Of course, I know you are tired... I told Professor Victor about this, but she said that she doesn't need to assign you homework, so you can just study like playing..."
Jian Yu couldn't listen to any more words.
She knew that nothing good would happen every time she came to the principal's office!
That’s a total of 12 courses!
"I want to drop some classes." She protested expressionlessly, "Too many classes and homework make me exhausted-"
Dumbledore took a deep breath and stopped her:
"No, don't worry, Jade."
"After discussing with several professors, I have decided to make some changes to the curriculum in the next school year—"
"The majority of the assignments will be collaborative assignments between the four colleges. I'm sure that with the help of other students, it will be much easier for you."
This news indeed gave Jian Yu great comfort.
She decided to cling to Hermione's thighs next school year.
Let this top student drag his pendant forward.
"By the way," Dumbledore's thoughts suddenly returned to the beginning, "What did you want to talk to me about originally?"
"I want to ask, how did you take me away from the director of the orphanage?"
Jian Yu began to hint at the problem in a clever way.
Her intuition told her...
The fact that the core has been replaced must not be revealed.
Dumbledore was stunned for a while, then he asked uneasily:
"Why would you think of asking this--Jade?"
Jian Yu deliberately made his statement ambiguous:
"Because of the Boggart—I saw fear."
She has always recognized her guardian's imagination and believed that he would react immediately and reveal the information she wanted.
But Dumbledore remained silent.
There seemed to be a fierce ideological struggle going on in his mind, and the principal's office was quiet for a long time.
"Well...I was going there during the summer vacation..."
