Harry Potter: From Muggle Cousin to Conceptual Wizard

Chapter 366 Meeting in the Cemetery! The two elderly Dengs revert to being middle-aged!

"what?!"

Nagini exclaimed in surprise, forgetting all her shyness and sadness at that moment.

I just wanted Dali to confirm what I had just said, afraid that I might be hallucinating.

“I said, I can bring Credence back to life! And today, or soon.”

Dudley repeated his meaning, and at the same time, as Old Deng had suggested, extended an invitation to Nagini, "So, would you like to witness Credence's resurrection with your father-in-law and uncle?"

"Is...is this real?" Nagini asked excitedly again.

After receiving another positive reply from Dali, she burst into tears of joy.

She nodded in confirmation that she was going with Dudley to witness Credence's resurrection.

As her joy subsided, shyness welled up in Nagini's heart.

She belatedly realized her mistake and corrected him, quite embarrassed, "Dali, Credence and I haven't... reached that point yet. I can't address Credence as an elder like you said."

"Then I'll stop saying that for now."

Dudley said calmly, "But Ms. Nagini, I must remind you of a few things. The fact that you and Credence have this opportunity to rekindle your relationship is an unprecedented miracle and blessing. You should cherish it."

For two introverted people to get together, someone always has to take the first step.

Dumbledore told me that Credence never forgot you, and that he kept calling your name before he died.

To facilitate the resolution of another regrettable incident involving Nagini, Dahli laid a lot of groundwork and provided guidance.

The reason he kept Nagini's memories of being completely transformed into a snake over those decades was perhaps to let Nagini experience the impermanence of life, seize opportunities, and cherish the people she loves.

After resurrecting Credence, he will also retain Credence's memories of wandering the world of the dead for so many years.

Let's take a two-pronged approach.

Leaving aside Dali's thoughts for the moment, Nagini was deeply moved by Dali's reminder.

My heart is pounding like a deer's.

But she didn't make up her mind immediately.

After all, she hadn't seen Credence in a long time.

No matter how good other people's words are, you can only actually confirm it after seeing Credence resurrected.

Seeing Nagini lower her head in thought, shy and silent, Dali didn't say anything more.

He reached out and grabbed Nagini's elbow, activating his ultimate teleportation ability, and took Nagini back to the wizard's graveyard in Godric Valley.

That is the spot where he just parted ways with Old Deng.

Nagini was somewhat uneasy and bewildered by the sudden teleportation. After a moment, seeing the surrounding tombstones and accompanying trees, he realized that he had arrived at the place where Credence was buried.

At this time, Old Deng had not yet returned.

Dudley sensed the trail on Old Man Dumbledore's body and discovered that Old Man Dumbledore was still in Hogsmeade Village, indicating that there must have been a problem with his communication with Aberforth.

"Wait ten minutes. If Dumbledore hasn't arrived by then, I'll have to go to Hogsmeade Village."

"Dali said to Nagini."

He guessed that Aberforth probably didn't believe in miracles of resurrection, and therefore didn't believe Old Deng's words.

If Dumbledore can't handle his brother, Dudley will have to go and help prove him wrong.

But Old Deng didn't let Dali do anything.

Three or four minutes later, Old Deng arrived with Aberforth, who was just as white-haired and had a long white beard as him.

If you exclude clothing and accessories, the two look exactly alike at first glance.

But upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that there are still quite a few differences.

"Albus, you'd better be telling the truth..."

Aberforth's magical skills were also quite good. Although he hadn't reached the level of a legendary wizard, he was still better than an elite professor-level wizard. The discomfort caused by Apparition didn't affect him at all, and he was still talking to Old Deng.

But what he said didn't sound very friendly.

Aberforth stopped speaking in surprise when he noticed Dalli and Nagini.

"You...you are Nagini? You haven't completely turned into a snake? So many years have passed, your appearance shouldn't be like this..."

Aberforth recognized Nagini immediately.

It's unclear whether it was Old Deng who reminded him, or whether he remembered Nagini because of his son.

“I told you so, Aberforth. Dali can make people, all things, revert to their past state, and Nagini now is the best proof of that!”

Dumbledore was also pleased to see Nagini in human form, but unlike Aberforth, he did not speak to Nagini first. Instead, he used this proof to convince his brother of what he had said before.

Aberforth went from being half-believing to being 80% convinced.

Especially after Nagini greeted him and Albus.

"Mr. Aberforth, Professor Dumbledore must have told you about age regression, right?"

Dali didn't waste any more time on pleasantries and went straight to the point: "I'm going to work this miracle on you now. Are you ready?"

"Dudley, you do it! We're ready." Dumbledore made the decision on behalf of Aberforth.

Aberforth glared at Dumbledore before nodding gently to Dudley, tacitly agreeing to the matter.

"Fixed! Age reverted! All other attributes retained!"

Dudley muttered something, going through the motions, but in reality, he activated the conceptual repair spell entirely on his own whim.

It made Aberforth return to the age of thirty-two, and made Old Deng return to the age of thirty-four.

It's not just that their appearance has returned to its youthful state; their lifespan has also genuinely returned.

Of course, Dali deliberately controlled the process so that the few white hairs of Old Deng's beard that had been plucked earlier would also retract, otherwise the compound decoction would have no ingredients.

Old Deng and his brother transformed back into middle-aged men, drawing admiring glances from Nagini, who was watching from the sidelines.

She now completely believes that Dudley can resurrect Credence.

"It's unbelievable that such an ability actually exists."

Aberforth waved his wand, creating a water mirror. Looking at his youthful face reflected in the mirror, he uttered a heartfelt sigh.

After he finished speaking, tears streamed down his face.

Since his resurrection ability is real, his sister, son, and parents can all come back.

With tears streaming down his face, Abu Fusi stepped forward, deeply moved, and grasped Dali's hand:

"Dali, thank you! Thank you so much! I never thought... I never thought I would see my family again."

Let's leave aside the parents and son for now.

If Dumbledore's feelings for his sister Ariana stemmed more from guilt over accidentally killing her, then Aberforth's feelings for Ariana were purely those of a loving and devoted brother.

From a young age, Ariana was closer to Aberforth and didn't get along as well with her older brother, Albus Dumbledore.

After Ariana's death, Aberforth spent his days with his sister's portrait.

Even today, nearly a century later, a portrait of Ariana still hangs in the Hogshead pub in Hogsmeade.

This clearly demonstrates the depth of their family affection.

“Mr. Aberforth, now is not the time for thanks; it is time to resurrect your loved ones.”

Dudley stopped Aberforth from continuing his emotional outpouring of gratitude and offered a gentle reminder.

Upon hearing this, Old Dumbledore immediately stepped forward to lead the way, and together with Aberforth, took Dudley and Nagini to the cemetery where the deceased members of the Dumbledore family were buried.

The painful past buried there will soon become a happy future.
