Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Who Stole My Name!

Chapter 56: Who Stole My Name!

"You... what did you ask me just now?"

The senior's voice suddenly changed, and Theo could even hear a trace of trembling.

Although Theo was a little strange, he repeated the question again.

"What I asked just now was: 'Senior, can you tell me your name?'"

"Name... my name... yes, I should have a name! But... where's my name? Forgotten? No! Not forgotten! I... I seem to have never had a name! But... how is this possible?! But why haven't I remembered that I have a name before? How is this possible? How could this happen? Is... who stole my name?"

The senior's voice became more and more excited, and the volume became louder and louder. Even the black mist around her was shaking violently.

Theo frowned and stood in front of the senior. He felt that his dream was about to collapse.

And the reason for the collapse was the senior in front of him who seemed to be going crazy because he forgot his name!

Her Nightmare Magic was many times more powerful than Theo's beginner, so even a little emotional fluctuation could have a great impact on Theo's dream.

Theo didn't understand why the reaction was so big just by asking a name.

"Is it because of ancient magic that you forgot your name?" Theo couldn't help asking.

"No... no! This is not a memory problem!" The senior raised his head, his eyes hidden in the black mist were blood red.

"Before you asked me this question, I couldn't remember that I should have a name at all... Even when you asked me how to call me in my dream before, my first subconscious reaction was to make up a title to tell you, instead of telling you my name... It's as if, subconsciously, my name doesn't exist at all..."

"But who did this? What's the point of doing this..."

"Whoosh!"

The senior with black gas all over his body suddenly teleported in front of Theo, grabbed Theo's arms tightly with both hands, and asked urgently, "The professor you just mentioned, when he told you about my deeds, did he say what my name was?"

Theo recalled the conversation with Dumbledore before, and suddenly realized that Dumbledore had been saying "that senior" when telling her deeds. As for her name...

Dumbledore didn't mention it at all, and he didn't ask at all during the listening process.

"No, he didn't mention your name." Theo replied.

"No... then have you asked?"

"I... I didn't ask either..."

"He didn't say, and you didn't remember to ask... do you think this is reasonable?" The senior let go of the hand grabbing Theo's arms and took a few steps back in frustration.

At this time, Theo also realized the problem.

According to common sense, when telling the story of a person with special contributions, shouldn't the first thing to introduce be her name?

Even if Dumbledore forgot to mention it, he didn't have any curiosity about the senior's name...

That is to say, Theo and Dumbledore had been chatting for so long, and neither Dumbledore nor Theo felt that there was anything wrong with not mentioning the senior's name...

He didn't feel it before, but now that it was mentioned, Theo realized how unreasonable this matter was!

"Theo... can you do me a favor?" The senior asked tremblingly.

"If I can do it, of course." Theo felt that the senior's voice contained an indescribable fear.

"Help me ask the professor, ask him if he remembers my name..."

...

When Theo opened his eyes, it was already past ten in the morning.

The dream last night was still vivid in his mind.

Originally, he wanted to find the senior to discuss ancient magic.

But he didn't expect that just asking a name would lead to another mystery...

It was not surprising that the senior forgot his name, after all, she had been trapped for so many years.

But... according to the senior's own statement, she felt that her name no longer existed!

This statement was intriguing.

Non-existence and forgetting were completely different things!

For example, you forget a person, but your memory cannot affect everything about that person. That is to say, the person you forget still exists objectively.

But if it doesn't exist... that is to say, the person you can't remember at all, not only is there no such person in your memory, but even the objective existence completely disappears!

Now, the fastest way to find the truth is to find Dumbledore and ask.

Logically speaking, Dumbledore had graduated listening to the senior's legendary experience since he entered school. He should know the senior's name.

At the very least, there should be some records about the senior in Hogwarts, and her name must be on it!

If... Dumbledore couldn't remember her name, or even if there was no record in the school...

Theo suddenly felt a little horrified.

"Master Theo, you're awake. Wash up first. Toby will bring you breakfast."

Toby, who was always paying attention to Theo's state, appeared in the room, holding toiletries in his hand.

"Toby, where's Professor Dumbledore?"

"Professor Dumbledore left last night. It seems he's going on a long trip."

Toby put the toiletries on Theo's bedside table.

Theo pondered for a while. He knew that Dumbledore had taken Nagini to settle down.

With Dumbledore's character, even if Nagini had completely turned into an irrational beast, it was impossible to kill her.

That is to say, he might not be able to come back in a short time.

Theo took a piece of parchment from the bedside and picked up a quill to write a letter.

"Toby, help me send this letter to Professor Dumbledore."

Toby took the letter, "Toby will go to the owl post office."

Looking at Toby's leaving back, Theo felt a little helpless.

Although he was eager to know the answer now, because he didn't tell Dumbledore that he had met the senior, it was not good to be too anxious...

He could only send a letter by owl, and then euphemistically mention that he wanted to find information about the senior to read, and then asked the senior's name in the letter.

After the conversation with Dumbledore last night, it was completely reasonable for him to want to find information about the senior to read.

He thought that Dumbledore should not have any doubts about this.

At this moment, Tom on the opposite bed finally woke up.

He rubbed his head hard, climbed up with difficulty, and even his eyes were bloodshot.

"Ah, my head hurts... what! It's already past ten o'clock?! Hiss... why do I feel like I've been hit with a Stupefy?!"

Theo silently turned his head, took the towel and washbasin on the table, and pretended not to see Tom getting up.

Tom's eyes instantly locked on Theo, and he asked suspiciously, "Did you use Stupefy on me again?"

"Why do you have such a strange idea?" Theo asked with a puzzled look.

"I never get up later than eight o'clock in the morning. And... I never have a headache when I wake up after sleeping normally! You should know when was the last time I had a headache when I woke up!" Tom stared at Theo.

"Tom, we have gone through life and death together several times. Isn't that enough to win your trust even once? It's really sad..."

"Damn it! It's you! I'm going to fight you!"
