Hogwarts Slytherin

When the three of them entered the principal's office, Dumbledore was already fully clothed and sitting behind the desk.

There was always an air of trustworthiness about him, and Reggie noticed that Mary's nervous expression became much more relaxed.

She was originally like a frightened bird, but now she looked at Dumbledore with some excitement.

"Professor Dumbledore."

The two said hello to the principal.

Dumbledore nodded: "Okay, Minerva. Leave this to me, and you can go and rest. I think you need something to drink."

After Professor McGonagall left, the two sat obediently on the sofa.

Looking at the hot tea appearing out of thin air in front of the table, Reggie felt that the sweet smell in the room was getting heavier.

"Rigi? My child, this is the second time we have met." Dumbledore said and blinked.

"Mary, good boy, something terrible must have happened to you."

Mary drank the drink in her glass in one gulp. When she heard these words, she felt like a wronged child meeting her parents.

She started sobbing and talking about what happened tonight, and even told her things that she had not dared to tell the professor before.

"I want to go home."

Apparently after experiencing so many bad things at Hogwarts, Mary was a little unbearable, and she had the idea of ​​returning to the Muggle world.

Her thoughts were not difficult to understand.

The war in the Muggle world is now over. Judging from Mary's clothing, she is not using second-hand items, which shows that her family's economic conditions are not poor. At least it can be inferred that her life in the Muggle world is not difficult.

Arriving at Hogwarts, after the shock and surprise brought by magic faded.

Inexplicably, he became an inferior being - a "mudblood", and all kinds of school violence also followed one after another.

Especially when Flint always said after bullying and insulting her: "When that adult wins, mudbloods like you should disappear!"

So, Mary was afraid.

She doesn't want to die.

She didn't dare to say these words.

Reggie understood her thinking because he used to be one of the "Muggles".

"Oh, child. Don't be afraid, trust me, what you are worried about will never happen in Hogwarts." Dumbledore comforted.

He turned his eyes to Reggie again: "So Reggie, can you tell me why you appear in the Forbidden Forest at night?"

Reggie felt his mind begin to recall some images.

unicorn.

Crying cow.

Eviscerated after the spell practice.

I want to make a magic potion.

Secretly studied brewing with Snape.

He stood in the dormitory and said calmly: "For the greater good."

……

Memories come to an abrupt end.

Reggie lowered his eyes, avoiding Dumbledore's serious gaze.

The hand hidden under the robe tightly grasped the wand.

Legilimency!

The Legilimency from old Lestrange had no effect at all, and the Sorting Hat...

He thought it was because his soul was so strong that he was immune, so he had no defense at all, but he didn't expect that he had been hit just now.

"It seems that the imprint of Slytherin in my mind also has a great effect."

But fortunately he reacted in time.

After realizing that he was being captured by Legilimency, Reggie felt scared and angry at the same time.

So the final scene is his counterattack against Dumbledore.

For the greater good.

This is the greatest pain and regret in Dumbledore's life.

He lost everything.

At this moment, Reggie no longer looked at him. As we all know, Dumbledore himself was a master of Legilimency.

Those who are good at Occlumency may not necessarily be good at Legilimency, but those who are good at Legilimency must be good at Occlumency.

There are very few wizards in the magical world who are naturally good at Legilimency, and such people usually end badly.

The last time they appeared was more than 30 years ago. In the end, the entire family disappeared. Only one member managed to escape to the United States and blended into the Muggle world.

Reggie also knew that unlike other wizards who had to rely on spells and wands, Legilimency masters with the strength of Dumbledore and Voldemort could do it.

When casting Legilimency, they do not need to wave their wands to recite spells. They only need to make eye contact with the other person to easily read the other person's thoughts.

This also allows them to easily tell whether the other party is lying.

Of course, at this stage, Reggie doubted that Voldemort would ever use Legilimency so easily.

One reason is counter-invasion. Although the possibility is infinitely close to zero, the collision of ideas is very dangerous and mysterious.

Another reason, which is also the reason that Reggie prefers personally - is that he believes that Voldemort is more willing to give the opponent a heart-breaking attack than Legilimency, which is a bit uncertain and laborious.

Judging from the original work, this is indeed the case, and only when facing his core Death Eaters was he willing to condescend to use Legilimency.

Then he was tricked by Snape.

Snape in the original book was also a Legilimency master more than twenty years later. He always saw through the lies of the Gryffindor trio, including Harry complaining more than once that Snape could see through his own thoughts. .

Reggie knew that he was carrying too many secrets that no one could know.

"I heard from Potter that there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest, so I wanted to see it." Even though he knew that Dumbledore already knew the truth, Reggie pretended not to know and found a lame excuse.

He focused his attention on Dumbledore's chin beard, maintaining the illusion that he was looking at the other man but not quite.

"Unfortunately, there are more little wizards who are not afraid of danger than I thought." Dumbledore made a regretful expression: "It seems that you got what you wanted tonight."

"They're stunningly beautiful."

"Yes, no one would have the heart to harm such a pure and beautiful creature."

……

Reggie bowed his head.

"Mary, I have to say that Mr. Flint's deformation of the human body is a very bad behavior. For this, I have to regretfully deduct one hundred points from Slytherin."

"As for you, Reggie, for bravely rescuing your classmates, fifty points for Slytherin."

Reggie shrugged, knowing there must be a but.

really.

Dumbledore continued with a smile: "I had to deduct fifty points from Slytherin for breaking into the Forbidden Forest alone."

After getting used to it, Reggie spit out the pile of cockroaches in his mouth. Who knows how he was so unlucky to eat the smell of boogers.

Dumbledore glanced at the clock calmly: "Okay, go back quickly and enjoy the night while you still have time."

Class would start in four hours, and the two stood up to say goodbye.

As she neared the door, Mary stopped again.

Reggie glared, "If you don't want to leave, don't block the door."

She turned around and said hesitantly: "Principal Dumbledore, I heard... will there really be a war in the wizarding world?"

"I think Hogwarts is perfectly safe, my child. There is no need to worry."

For some reason, Reggie felt like he glanced at her.

"Huh? Again?" Reggie felt something, and being on guard, he quickly came up with the countermeasures he had thought of.

A melody sounded in my mind.

BeepbeepI'masheep~

BeepbeepI'masheep~

IsaybeepbeepI'masheep~

BeepbeepI'masheep

……

Legilimency can only check the other person's current thoughts without alerting the person concerned. In other words, Dumbledore can see whatever Reggie is thinking.

Of course, Dumbledore can choose to look through Reggie's other memories, but in this case, the person affected by Legilimency will notice it, and the person concerned will feel pain.

Regis knew Dumbledore wouldn't do such a thing.

In other words, after experiencing Voldemort and Grindelwald, Dumbledore would not take such drastic measures again.
