The Strongest Badger at Hogwarts
Chapter 118: Polysurgery
As Snape's words fell, the eyes of the people in the office shifted to Harry.
This made Harry a little panicked.
"I...I went to the death banquet, there were hundreds of ghosts present at the time! They can all testify for me!"
"Even a three-year-old kid knows that the ghost dinner is a nightmare for humans at all. Why do you want to throw away the good Halloween dinner and go to that messy death dinner?" Snape He kept getting closer and said, "Furthermore, the end of the death dinner is much earlier than the Halloween dinner, why don't you come back earlier?"
"Because...because I am too tired and want to go back to the lounge..."
"Lie!"
Snape suddenly interrupted Harry with a sharp stern, and Filch, who had only reacted after seeing the situation, also echoed:
"Yes! That's right! It's a lie!"
Listening to the words of these two people, Harry's small face turned pale, and he could only look at Dumbledore pleadingly.
"Okay, don't talk about it." Dumbledore waved his hand and said, "You can go, we will investigate the follow-up of this matter. You also go out, Lockhart."
"But..."
Filch wanted to say something more, but was blocked by Dumbledore's eyes.
As for Harry, he started walking out of the office as early as Dumbledore's voice fell, almost almost running away.
While watching everyone leaving behind, Link didn't mean to leave.
He knew very well that although Dumbledore didn't say it clearly, he would definitely come to himself for questions afterwards.
As expected, Dumbledore looked towards Link as soon as the office door was closed.
It was a very complicated look, and it was self-blaming and distressed, but it was more vigilant.
"Link, your big friend did this, right?"
Dumbledore said slowly.
Although it uses interrogative sentences, the tone is extremely positive.
Link didn’t make any excuses when he saw this, he nodded and said:
"It should be it."
"So... do you have anything to say about this matter?"
"I know what you want to say, Principal Dumbledore." Link, who had turned on Occlumency, said blankly. "But it really has nothing to do with me. In fact, since the night of last semester, I It has lost contact with Arkham, it seems to be hiding from me on purpose."
Dumbledore was silent for a moment, before he got closer, and looked at Link and said:
"Is what you said is true?"
Dumbledore’s tone was gentle, and the expression on his face was sincere and kind.
This made Link feel a warmth in his body gradually, very gently expelling the effect of Occlumency, this feeling is really comfortable, so comfortable that Link's original indifferent expression gradually eased.
But at the next moment, a cold voice suddenly rang.
"Dumbledore!"
It's Snape!
The warmth faded, Link shivered, and at the same time dense beads of sweat came out of his forehead.
‘It’s so risky! ’
Link couldn't help but backed up a few steps.
If it hadn't been for Snape's sudden throat, Dumbledore would have broken Link's Occlumency and invaded his brain.
Dumbledore, whose plan fell through, looked helplessly at Snape who was looking at him coldly, and finally looked at Link and said:
"Link, does this matter really have nothing to do with you?"
"Of course it doesn't matter!"
Link said coldly.
Dumbledore's actions just now made his impression in Link's heart fall to the extreme.
Seeing this, Dumbledore sighed and said:
"I believe in you, but all I believe in is limited to you, Link."
Speaking of this, Dumbledore paused suddenly, then looked at Snape with a questioning look, and then continued when he saw that the other party didn't mean to stop it.
"Aren't you always wondering what disease you have? I can tell you today."
"What you are suffering from is a rare disease called polysomnia. Its existence has caused two completely different souls to appear in your body vying for control of your body. If this is the case, it is not a big deal. Yes, but the problem is that your other soul is powerful and evil, and is full of hatred for this world, trying to destroy everything. We also named him a name, Mike."
"Link, you are a kind child, I can trust you 100%. But Mike is different, as far as I know, he can do this kind of thing."
Dumbledore's narration is over.
But the expression on Link's face did not change at all.
This is actually the effect of Occlumency.
In fact, Link has been said to be a bit dazed now.
After all, there is too much information in Dumbledore's words.
Fortunately, under the blessing of Occlumency, Link can still perform a rational analysis, and after analyzing for a while, Link's mood has stabilized.
Think about it carefully, what Dumbledore said has nothing to do with him.
Link has never had any problems with his body since he crossed this world, and he has never had symptoms of split personality.
Therefore, he speculated that ~lightnovelpub.net~ the two original souls in this body are probably dead.
That's why he had the opportunity to occupy the magpie's nest.
On the other hand, Dumbledore's expression, who waited for a while so that Link could accept the reality, became a little complicated.
The reason why he had been hiding from Link before was because he was afraid that Link could not accept this reality and his personality would collapse.
But now it seems that Link's psychological defense line with the blessing of Occlumency has grown up.
Of course, this is also bad.
Just like just now, if it weren't for Occlumency, he would have invaded Link's brain to find the answer by himself.
shook his head insignificantly, and Dumbledore said softly again:
"Link, I’m sorry. Let’s do this, I will let Professor Snape continue to improve the potion formula according to your situation and increase the dose, while observing your recent behavior to judge your situation. Regarding this, I I hope you can understand."
"Of course." Link said without hesitation, "but I also hope you can increase the investigation on this matter! I really want to catch the guy who manipulated Arkham to do bad things and give him a lesson. One meal!"
"Don't worry, we will try our best. This is my responsibility as the principal of Hogwarts!"
Dumbledore said solemnly, and made a please gesture after saying that Link could leave.
Link didn't hesitate when he saw it, and walked straight out of the office, leaving only Dumbledore and Snape inside.
"Hey!"
After closing the door again, Link frowned and slapped his mouth, turned and walked towards the Hufflepuff Lounge.
But before taking two steps, he found a dark figure squatting in a corner not far away.
