Chapter 1062: The German Staff Master
"Hasn't Harry learned Occlumency by now?" Tonks asked her husband Lupin, who hadn't noticed the contradiction between the intrusion and the explanation, but as an Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix, she realized the importance of secrecy and immediately cast an earplug listening spell around them.
"Isn't there anything else to do but Occlumency?" Sirius stared at the lightning scar on Harry's forehead - after learning from Alan's mouth that Harry was one of the Mystery Man's Horcruxes and that Occlumency couldn't be stopped by the Mystery Man because of this connection, Sirius had been feeling the urge to detain the piece alive.
"I've heard Hermione say that Malfoy and Parkinson have done quite a bit of success at this. Ginny seemed to feel a little inappropriate when she said that, "I mean, are they going to have any special know-how?"
"Maybe it's just that these two pugs asked for some kind of secret from Alan? I just saw them follow Emily like ass-worms..."Ron, a little reluctant to show his rival's talent, defended his friend, "Maybe Harry is trying to use this connection to help us counter-detect each other's whereabouts?... You say, should we ask Alan too?"
"But the mystery man can use this to give us false information! Harry, the inability to increase your defenses against invading your brain means you can't stop him from invading your mind. Lupin sighed heavily, then turned his gaze to Dumbledore, "Dumbledore, is there no way?"
"These two Slytherin kids are extremely gifted with Occlumency... It's not like Harry... Harry's problem was that he was always emotionally too close to the surface, and in some way mentally damaged by those unfortunate encounters... But at the same time, Harry could really feel how he felt about his experiences, he didn't suppress his emotions, he was very honest with them, he couldn't suppress them, he couldn't suppress the memories... It's actually a good thing to see me. Dumbledore withdrew his hand and put it back in his robes, "There's a talent for this... The better people learn Occlumency to separate their lives from their emotions... Just like Malfoy's kid did it all the time... He can shut down his compassion, he can lock his compassion tightly... As a result, he can effectively bully others, so Occlumency, he learns quickly. β
Allen says Occlumen's brain can't resist this connection. Harry sat up, still rubbing his scar, his glasses falling to the side, and now he couldn't see anything vaguely.
"When you can't stop it, you can think about it, relatively speaking, Tom's mind will also be inadvertently detected by Harry, and when he is close to Harry or his emotions are fluctuating, Tom can't resist Harry's perception of him... Of course, we have to judge for ourselves whether this is true or false. Dumbledore leaned over and said earnestly to Harry through his crescent-shaped glasses, "So Harry, so is he looking for Grigovich?"
"Professor, who is Grigovich? I'm sure the mystery man is looking for him," Harry fumbled his glasses on the bridge of his nose, his messy hair making him look embarrassed, "he seemed angry because his servant didn't dare to look too flamboyantly. β
"There are three big wandmakers in Europe, and Grigovich from Germany is one of them. Just like Ollivander provided wands specifically for Hogwarts, Grigovich's main client was Durmstrang School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Dumbledore stared at the sun-drenched ground, and after a moment his gaze returned to Harry, "So Harry, do you see anything around Tom that you recognize?"
"I... I don't know the professor... I haven't been abroadβ" Harry struggled to remember as he tried to provide some useful information to himself, "but But... I mean mystery man... What is he doing with Grigovich? His wand doesn't seem to have a problem?"
"I think Tom is because of this failure and wants to find some way to improve himself quickly... He may have found some information, looking for the legendary wand that could make his master invincible... The wand that casts great mana in duels and can easily cast powerful spells by the wielder...," Dumbledore explained.
"Dumbledore, you're talking about the elder?" Sirius's eyes twitched, as an ancient pureblood, although he didn't know that Dumbledore had ever owned an Elder Wand, he knew what the wand Dumbledore was referring to, "We have to stop the mystery man!"
"It's necessary to keep a master staff maker and innocent wizards safe, or else it would be a loss for the entire wizarding world... But don't worry, Tom has found the clue to the Elder Wand along the lines of Master Grigovich..."Dumbledore said, glancing up suspiciously at the second-floor window of Harris Manor, "but that legendary wand... It's no longer with its original owner... Also, Harry, the two we met in the cavern might not really be Death Eaters..."
In the reception room on the second floor, Scrimgeour was driven away, and Alan was relaxed on the sofa again, flipping through the parchment manuscript "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" brought by Rita Skeeter: "Well, let's release it directly when the time comes." β
Hermione sat across from Allen, Ankh nestled on her head and combing her feathers, making Hermione sit a little too upright, "But will the International Federation of Wizards..."
With a "snap", Hermione's words were interrupted, and Kreacher, who had hidden his figure when he saw Scrimgeour enter, reappeared in the room, he bowed to several people, picked up the knife, and wanted to continue to complete the task of prying the shell that had not been fully completed before the meeting.
Alan put the manuscript on his lap, glanced at Luna, who no longer ate oysters, and said calmly, "Kreacher, we're done, like I told you just now, go have some fun on your own, Maggie?"
"Yes, master... Maggie and Dobby are having a dinner at their little base... What a bad elf, enjoying with the master's things..."Kreacher looked at Alan's expression, and instead of being happy with his little report, he wanted to preach, and quickly let himself disappear from the room.
"This old guy at least knows how to slip away. Penelope said angrily, "Does Scrimgeour old fool really go around talking?"
"Scrimgeour certainly doesn't want Harris to use violence against Gringotts, and will selectively reveal the news..."Hermione sat up straight, her hands on the couch, and said with some expectation, "If the mystery man himself learns this information, he is afraid that it would be best to find a way to change places... Gringotts had too many defenses, and it would be too dangerous for Alan to teleport without going to the Lestrange family's vault. β
"The gateway to the other side can see what's on the other side... But these goblins will definitely find out... Like my father said, we still have to estimate the impact somewhat, and there's no need to make all wizards think we're a threat to their property..."Alan put down the manuscript, "But what Scrimgeour just said I think is a bit of a problem, we wizards are actually controlled by the goblins... And I didn't even realize it was wrong because of habit..."
Penelope crossed his long legs and changed his sitting position: "Then just solve this problem together." β
"Bang bang bang..." The door was knocked again, and Mr. Skillful Hand, who was still in the room, instantly stretched out his arm after asking for the owner's permission, and opened the door, and Lunn appeared in the doorway.
Lunn helped up his glasses and walked in and sat down next to Ellen, "Potter just fainted downstairs, and Dumbledore and Sirius have left with him... Tonks had just found Daisy and revealed that Potter had reconnected with the Mystery, who seemed to be looking for the legendary Elder Wand. β
β... Looks like Tonks is trying to make amends for her misunderstanding of me, but yes, this information isn't a Phoenix secret, and if we know about it, we're going to stop the mystery man's actions... Tonks probably thinks this is a better situation..."Alan was stunned for a few seconds and nodded, "Tom guesses that because he was defeated by me, he desperately wants to improve his strength, so he doesn't know where he got the news of the Deathly Hallows, and wants to get the news of the Elder Wand from the mouth of the German staff master..."
"Legend has it that the Elder Wand can make the master invincible... Alan, if he really finds it, he will definitely come to us for trouble. Lunn's tone was a little nervous, and then realizing his brother's ease, he asked tentatively, "Alan? That means that if the mysterious man has an Elder Wand, he won't be able to beat you?"
"He's got the Elder Wand, but it's just a bit more troublesome than it is now, so I don't think I'll be able to stop in a duel with him... Don't worry about Lunne," Alan reassured, suddenly laughing uncontrollably, "I'm impressed by Tom's efforts, but the Elder Wand is in Luna's hand... I'm sorry I forgot to make it clear to you and my father..."
