Dumbledore helplessly pulled out the elder wand and moved it over the Basilisk's corpse. Soon, the Basilisk's corpse seemed to churn like a rolling wave.
A pitch-black notebook emerged from within.
"Tom…" Dumbledore sighed and bent down to pick up the notebook.
"Oh ho? This little thing looks really unique, huh? Let me see him, I'll study him." Kaisen quickly Apparated over upon seeing this, standing beside Dumbledore and looking at the notebook in Dumbledore's hand. He mischievously reached out and scratched the book's cover.
".....He's not moving." Lupin also leaned in and said.
"Of course.....where did my pen go?" Kaisen fumbled in his pockets, pulled out a quill, and flipped open the cover to mischievously write: [Hello, Mr. Riddle.]
[Oh.....it's our great Professor Kaisen.....]
[In fact, I think there's no need for us to communicate through paper, right?]
[What do you want?]
Kaisen waved his hand, and the magic manual abruptly appeared in his hand. He opened it to a blank page, completely sealing off the starry sky on that page, before placing the magic manual and the Dark Arts notebook face to face.
Almost instantly, a beam of light from the black notebook was absorbed into the magic manual. Then, like throwing trash, Kaisen tossed the notebook onto the ground, a smile on his face as he looked at Tom Riddle, who was now contained within the magic manual.
"I think we can talk face to face now."
"Oh.....how many years has it been? I didn't know Alchemy had advanced to this level." Tom Riddle surveyed the space he currently occupied, then looked up at the small 'skylight' above the space, speaking sarcastically.
"Of course....." Kaisen casually placed the magic manual in mid-air, bent down to pick up the black notebook that had been thrown on the ground, and casually tore a page from it.
"I thought your so-called Horcrux had such great protection."
"Oh, of course, because those magic and I myself came here.....Headmaster Dumbledore? My esteemed Headmaster Dumbledore, don't hide, I've already seen you." Tom Riddle seemed to have been pushed to a dead end, wanting to emit as much negative energy as possible before completely disappearing.
"Do you want to see your former student?" Kaisen asked Dumbledore.
"Give him to me." Dumbledore took the magic manual, looking at the familiar figure standing inside the book, head raised, glaring at him.
"I can only say.....this is your own doing." Dumbledore looked down at Tom Riddle, speaking concisely.
After speaking, without giving Tom Riddle time to respond, he directly closed the magic manual and returned it to Kaisen.
Kaisen took the magic manual, reopened Tom Riddle's page: "Alright, Mr. Tom Riddle, say goodbye."
The next moment, with a thought, everything related to Tom Riddle and his so-called Dark Arts within the magic manual disappeared almost instantly.
"When the Little Wizards return, I think they'll be very surprised that they can finally take off their glasses." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"That's for sure....and Severus, he'll also be very surprised by his brand new Potion ingredients." Kaisen added, looking at the Basilisk's corpse at his feet.
"In fact, I think he'll be very angry.....because of me." Lupin said somewhat awkwardly.
"What? Do you and Severus have...a conflict?" Kaisen asked curiously.
"In fact, it's not just a conflict, it should be called...a grudge." Lupin smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This.....I don't understand, so I won't say much more...I can only hope that the perpetrator among you will choose to apologize proactively." Kaisen stroked his chin and said.
"Of course, he will."
The group returned to Myrtle's bathroom. Dumbledore looked at the bathroom, which had a two-meter hole knocked into it by Shuilingling, and couldn't help but fix his gaze on Kaisen.
"Let me show you the unique prowess of Alchemy." The latter fumbled in his pocket for a while, then took out two small blocks, and with two thuds, repaired the wall and sink he had previously broken.
Lupin looked at Dumbledore in a daze. Compared to the huge machines in Kaisen's office that looked very high-end but seemed useless, this pure destruction and creation was more shocking.
So...
"Do you really want me to be Kaisen's Alchemy assistant? Is this the level of Alchemy this world should have?" Lupin looked at Dumbledore with his eyes, signaling.
The latter raised an eyebrow, then pursed his lips, the meaning very clear: "Still the same saying, you are young and thick-skinned, I am old and still need some face."
Lupin rolled his eyes so wide that Kaisen, who had turned back, almost thought he saw a legend from Minecraft.
It is said that a god who looked exactly like Steve, except his eyes were pure white light....
In short, at first glance, he looked very much like Lupin.
"Since these matters are concluded, I'm going back too. Today was really tiring." With that, Dumbledore directly Apparated out of the bathroom.
"Leaving so quickly?" Lupin asked, somewhat surprised.
"Because this is the girls' bathroom...." Kaisen quipped.
After the two left the bathroom, they left Hogwarts together.
Lupin was leaving because the contract he signed was a magic contract for the next semester.
The latter half of this semester's Defense Against the Dark Arts was still within Snape's responsibility.
As for Kaisen, he politely saw Lupin off, then remembered that he still had to help hunt Greyback, so he readily accepted Lupin's invitation to his home.
A small wooden cabin located in the forest, at first glance, it was basically the same as Hagrid's Hut from last year.
The difference was that Hagrid's Hut had long since been upgraded, but Lupin's cabin....whether it could keep out a big bad wolf was a question.
"Do you have anything to drink here?" Kaisen walked into Lupin's cabin. It wasn't large, but it was very warm and kept very clean.
"I have beer, want some?"
"Yes!"
