Chapter 30: Soul Returns
Jian Yu, who was in a coma, found himself in a forest.
This place is somewhat similar to the Forbidden Forest, but not as deep and dark as the Forbidden Forest. The sun had just risen, and the soft morning light shone through the gaps between the leaves onto the grass, casting mottled shadows. The trees are towering and their branches intersect, forming a huge green dome.
She felt herself surrounded by a mysterious green sky.
This place is not as dead as the Forbidden Forest. A gurgling brook flowed through the woods, and the sound of water was clear and pleasant; some auguries, ball-doves, and many other magical birds whose names she could not remember were singing happily among the treetops. The Niffler, with his shiny black fur, hopped from branch to branch, chasing a fire crab, seeming to mistake it for a jewel.
It's strange that these animals' habitat shouldn't be in the forest.
Jian Yu thought.
But then a few Cornish pixies spotted her. These electric blue, mischievous elves playfully grabbed her ears, lifted her up in their hands and flew forward.
Jian Yu did not feel any pain in her ears. She only felt her body become very light and floating in the air. Under the guidance of the elf, she moved forward quickly and came to a wide open space.
There was an old man with white hair and beard in the open space. He had his back to her, holding a few leaves in his hands, feeding a huge poisonous horned beast and talking to it in a language she could not understand.
She had read that these animals had bad tempers and that there was a deadly liquid in their horns that could easily explode. But in the hands of the old man, it was like a docile calf, eating the leaves obediently.
Hearing the elves' laughter, the old man turned around.
Only then did Jian Yu see his full appearance. The old man was wearing an old medieval-style robe, his white beard was half a meter long, and his eyes were bright and clear, as if he could see through the hearts of every living being.
He held a cane in his hand, supported his body, and looked in the direction of Jian Yu with a somewhat surprised look:
"Souls from another world?"
Without waiting for Jian Yu to answer, he continued to praise in a gentle and steady voice:
"Magical...very magical...the power of fate changed everything."
His voice seemed to have an inexplicable magic that made her feel at ease instantly.
The old man tapped the ground lightly with his cane. A colorful ripple spread out from its periphery, then gathered in front of Jian Yu and injected into her body.
"In that case, I grant you a gift... You will have a pure and powerful soul."
"Enjoy it, child. Know that the most precious thing in the world is the immortal soul..."
Suddenly, the old man held something in his other hand, and his long eyebrows moved slightly:
"Oh...it turns out to be this little thing..."
He spread out his five fingers and motioned Jian Yu to check with a smile.
She looked closely and found that it was red and looked like a gem...
——It was the Philosopher's Stone that she had obtained by breaking into the restricted area on the fourth floor and was confiscated by Dumbledore!
"This stone... violates the connection between the soul and the body... should not exist in the world..."
"Your body is calling you...child...you should go back."
Jian Yu felt that the world in the forest was gradually becoming darker, and there seemed to be some noisy English voices in his ears...
She stretched out an arm, trying to grab something, but touched nothing. She asked eagerly:
"Who are you?"
A mysterious smile flashed across the old man's face:
"They all call me Merlin."
Before she fell into darkness, she heard the old man who called himself Merlin say distressedly:
"Please tell my classmates that I really don't like wearing baggy briefs, and my beard is very neat..."
......
"Merlin's fattest briefs! She's awake!"
In a daze, Jian Yu felt like he had slept for a very long time.
Hearing this, she subconsciously refuted:
"No, he doesn't like wearing baggy briefs."
The people around burst into laughter. She could make out the voices of Harry and Ron.
Then she heard Madam Pomfrey fiercely chasing away a group of noisy voices, and three chaotic footsteps gradually approached and came to her bed.
Bottle after bottle of strange magic potion that tasted like a toad that had been pickled for three days was poured into her mouth. If she hadn't been unable to move, she would have vomited for three days and three nights!
This potion was absolutely, 100% brewed by Snape!
She thought angrily.
Soon, she felt that she could open her eyelids and move her limbs.
What came into view was indeed Snape's sallow face and greasy hair.
The corners of his mouth were tightly clenched, the wrinkles on the side of his hooked nose moved, and a string of adjectives came out of his mouth:
"An 11-year-old student took on a dark wizard alone. How brave and fearless he is. He puts all the professors to shame."
"Arrogant, conceited, reckless and stupid."
"Why don't you go to Gryffindor and stop torturing your poor old professor."
Jian Yu blinked and looked into his eyes blankly.
Why are you scolding me?
She hadn't come to her senses yet and looked confused.
Dumbledore's voice came from the bed again:
"Severus, don't be too hard on the boy."
Snape snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Dumbledore cast several detection spells on her body, then felt relieved and winked at her gently:
"Good boy, let's go to the principal's office and talk."
Hearing this, Jian Yu came fully to his senses.
Go to the principal's office to chat?
Attacking the professor for your own sake?
Want to fire me?
Nice!
......
In the principal's office.
Dumbledore made a cup of honey tea for Jane Yu.
She sat on the soft chair in front of the table, and Snape stood beside her with a gloomy face, like a door god.
From their conversation, she learned that she had been in a coma for a whole month, and the day after tomorrow was Christmas. Because the black soul behind Professor Quirrell's head - the residual soul of the mysterious man - hit her and knocked her soul out of her body.
She just wanted to burn Snape's robes, so how did she run into the big boss?
She suddenly felt that the scolding from Professor Snape was not unjust.
After all, she almost lost her life in a blazing fire!
This made Jian Yu feel scared.
Dumbledore announced that she must drink soul stabilizer every day for a period of time to improve the compatibility of software and hardware, so that her soul can stay in her body obediently and not run around.
It can be said that her plan to drop out of school had to be put on hold for the rest of the semester to make way for the treatment of her weak body.
"God wants to kill me!"
Jian Yu wailed in his heart.
Not only did the plan to drop out of school fail and be shelved, but it also messed up my health!
She had no choice but to behave herself and be a good student in exchange for soul stabilizer.
How much it resembles an invisible beast imprisoned in a cage!
Squirm, twist, and crawl darkly!
But it was clear that Headmaster Dumbledore could not feel her pain.
His blue eyes were looking at her earnestly, and he thanked her solemnly:
"Ms. Jane, on behalf of all the students, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the school."
"You discovered him and crushed his plot to steal the Philosopher's Stone. The entire wizarding world should thank you."
What? Philosopher's Stone!
Jian Yu was startled, and suddenly thought of the red stone in Merlin's hand, and asked quickly:
"How's that stone...?"
Dumbledore smiled, his blue eyes filled with joy, and began to riddle:
"Fate is a magical thing, isn't it?"
"You met on the first day of school, and it called your soul back before Christmas."
