watched the black mist gradually fill the corridor before him, and Levid slowly retreated...
When facing a beast, the most taboo is to turn your back on it and run.
Levid worried that if he turned and ran, the black mist would rush towards him!
After all, what difference was there between an Obscurus that had lost its mind and a beast?
Indeed, upon seeing the eerie black mist and sensing the powerful magic it held, Levid had already guessed its true identity.
Credence Barebone, the Obscurus... or rather, Aurelius Dumbledore, was Aberforth's biological son.
Levid only knew that around 1930, after the Kirin Election incident, Aberforth took him home.
As for his fate, Levid was unsure.
However, seven or eight years had passed, and judging by the Obscurus's short lifespan, even with Aurelius's extraordinary talent, his current situation was definitely not optimistic.
After all, this period of time had lasted so long that even Nagini had gradually sunk into oblivion, vanishing from view...
The fact that Aurelius, the Obscurial, was still alive was truly a miracle.
Just as Levvid was debating whether to break through the floorboards and escape, or to slowly retreat down the stairs,
Aberforth's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.
"Don't move, don't panic..."
Levvid paused.
Then, Aberforth emerged from behind Levvid.
He cautiously approached the black mist.
"Calm down... Aurelius, calm down. You can do this. I trust you, right?"
As Aberforth's gentle words of persuasion rang out, the black mist began to tremble.
Gradually, the black mist that filled the corridor began to shrink, finally gathering in a corner, transforming into a pale young man.
His body was shaking uncontrollably, "I... I can't hold on any longer... Please, kill me... I can't hold on for much longer anyway. Instead of letting me stay here, not knowing when I will lose control and hurt others, it's better to send me away from this world now..."
"Nonsense! How can a son force his father to kill himself? Besides, there is magic set up by your uncle in the attic. Even if you lose control, it can't be destroyed.
Don't worry, you won't hurt anyone."
"But I ran out unknowingly this time, didn't I? Even my uncle's magic can't stop me 100%... Father, just promise me... Let everything be over..."
Aberforth's face was full of sadness.
"Don't say anymore! Good boy, let's go back.
I will always be with you until the end...
You don't have to worry about anything else! Please... don't force me anymore..."
He supported Aurelius and slowly stood up from the ground.
Aurelius's pale face was filled with bitterness. He turned to look at Levid. "I'm sorry..."
He seemed to want to say something else, but after opening his mouth, nothing came out.
Levid said nothing during this time, simply watching them quietly, finally, watching them slowly ascend the stairs to the attic.
Levid now fully understood why Aberforth had forbidden them to go to the attic.
Because Aurelius was still alive, he lived there.
Moreover, because the Obscurial was too dangerous if it went out of control, the attic was heavily enchanted.
If Levid was not mistaken, the sound he had just heard was the sound of an out-of-control Obscurial attacking the protective spells.
As he walked out of the corridor, the Obscurial had just broken through the protective spells and escaped, running into him head-on...
Not long after, Aberforth walked down with a heavy face.
He approached Levid and said, "Ask if you have any questions."
Aberforth knew that the child, having unexpectedly seen Aurelius today, would definitely have a lot of questions. It would be wrong to tell him nothing.
Children of this age are extremely curious. If they went looking for "answers" on their own, they might get into trouble...
"What was that just now?" Levid asked, figuratively.
"That's the Obscurus...
You can understand it as a disease, and the one who contracted it is my son, Aurelius Dumbledore.
Anyone afflicted with this disease could become an Obscurus at any moment, losing their rationality...
This was an accident, and I've reinforced the protective spells once more," Aberforth replied.
Levid, observing Aberforth's expression, didn't want to ask any more questions.
Further questions would undoubtedly cause the poor father to recall a tragic past he didn't want to revisit.
Besides, he had already largely guessed the cause and effect, so there was no point in asking further.
"I have no further questions..."
Aberforth looked at Levid in surprise.
He would undoubtedly have many questions in this situation, but Levid simply asked one and left it at that?
Aberforth quickly understood Levid's intentions.
"Okay... come back to me if you have any questions." Aberforth gave Levid a deep look, then turned and walked down the stairs.
'What a gentle child...' Aberforth thought to himself.
When Tom woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Levid practicing Transfiguration, turning a matchstick into various shapes.
Bastard! You let me sleep, but you are secretly working hard? How shameless!
Levid raised his head and saw Tom looking at him with a sad and angry face.
"How did you sleep? You look much more energetic."
"Don't you know best how I slept?" Tom glared at Levid angrily.
"Okay, okay, I know you don't want to see me again, Tom."
Levid waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, I was just thinking about how to leave."
Tom frowned, "What do you mean?"
Levid took out a key and shook it in front of Tom.
"As a wealthy man with five or six thousand Galleons stashed away in Gringotts, there's really no need for me to live under someone else's roof.
Wouldn't it be nice to buy my own house? Worse still, I could find a place and build one myself! I have Toby to take care of my daily needs, so why would I need a guardian?"
With such a vast trove of Galleons and valuable gold bars, Levander certainly had what it took to live on his own.
Most importantly, living on his own would allow him to conduct many experiments he'd long envisioned but hadn't yet had the means to carry out.
These experiments wouldn't be possible without a guardian watching over him...
Tom shook his head.
"Dumbledore won't approve.
If he doesn't, you'll never be able to accomplish this. Forget it.
You know he's not as kind as he appears."
"You have a point, but I'll definitely find a way," Levander thought, frowning.
"And don't forget, those thousands of Galleons and gold bars you mentioned, and my half too!" Tom emphasized.
Back then, the work was done by two people, and the trouble was also caused by two people. No matter how much money they got, Tom should have half of it!
"Oh, of course, of course, your share is indispensable."
Li Wei De put the key to Gringotts away again.
After a long silence, Tom suddenly asked: "If... you can find a way to move out... can you take me with you?"
"What?" Li Wei De looked at Tom in shock, "Don't you want to stay with me? Tom, don't have any intentions towards me! I have no interest in men!"
"Asshole! What dirty thoughts are in your mind!" Tom's face was full of black lines, "I mean... we move out together, get rid of the constraints of the so-called guardians, and then go our separate ways!"
