Chapter 112: Fierce Battle in the Forbidden Forest (I)
In the previous few seconds of fighting, although Louis could not be sure who the person who disguised himself as "Lee Jordan" and sneaked into Hogwarts secretly, he was obviously able to rely on some details to confirm that the target that the other party was looking for was not himself, but the ignorant Anne beside him.
"It depends... Is it related to the magic book that Anne found during the holidays? ”
Secretly speaking, Louis comforted Anne a little, and soon Snape and Professor McGonagall hurried into their sight.
"What happened?"
Professor McGonagall asked with a serious expression, "Why are you sending a distress signal near the Forbidden Forest?" ”
Sensing that Snape had quietly taken a few steps back and stood behind Professor McGonagall, Louis simply turned to Professor McGonagall and said, "Professor, Anne and I have been attacked by intruders. ”
"Intruders?"
Professor McGonagall frowned slightly, and said in an aggravated tone, "Are you sure, Mr. Rogers?" ”
"Hmm."
Louis nodded, looked at Anne on the side and said, "Professor, I'm sure it's an intruder, Anne can testify for me." ”
"That's right, Professor."
Nodding vigorously, Anne hurriedly spoke, "Originally, Louis and I made an appointment to visit Mr. Hagrid first, and then go to the Forbidden Forest to discuss the ancient magic texts we have recently studied. Who knows, halfway through, Louis actually found someone following us, and the person who followed us was... It's Lee Jordan! ”
"Is it Lee Jordan?"
Professor McGonagall repeated incredulously, and Louie explained, "To be exact, Professor, the man approached us in the guise of Lee Jordan. ”
"Transfiguration?"
Grasping the point of the matter, Snape glanced at Louis and asked, "Or... Is it a polyjuice decoction? ”
"It's a polyjuice decoction."
Taking a deep breath, Louis affirmed, "And... I suspect the man was close to Lee Jordan and even used the Dementor on him! ”
"Mr. Rogers, how do you know this?"
Professor McGonagall asked, "You know, the Receptive Mind is a senior course, and you... Just a first-year freshman. ”
"I think I can explain a little bit to Mr. Rogers."
Before Louis could say anything, Snape said lightly, "Mr. Rogers is my student, I once taught him a lesson on the Celestial Mind, and his talent in this area did not disappoint me. ”
"Severus, you must be crazy!"
Knowing that Snape was teaching Louis the senior class privately, Professor McGonagall said with a little annoyance, "Mr. Rogers is just a child, and you actually taught him to take the Divine Mind?" ”
"Hmph..."
Faced with Professor McGonagall's accusations, Snape couldn't help but smile contemptuously, and said to himself:
"He's a kid?"
"Minerva, do you have any misunderstanding of the word "child" when you say that a child can take down a basilisk with a disarming spell?"
However, it was a matter of secrecy, and it was naturally impossible for Snape to leak Louis's brilliant achievements in front of Professor McGonagall, so he only snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction, and waited in silence for someone who could really take charge of the matter.
About a few seconds later.
"Hum..."
With a fiery red light and shadow, Dumbledore, the speaker of Hogwarts, appeared in front of everyone's eyes in time.
It can be seen that Professor McGonagall has a problem with Snape because of his private teaching of Louis Regent, and was about to open his mouth to sue almost the moment Dumbledore arrived.
But as if he had known what Professor McGonagall was going to say, Dumbledore didn't give her a chance to complain, and suddenly interjected:
"Minerva, could you please inform Hagrid to temporarily seal off the Forbidden Forest?"
"Why?"
Professor McGonagall frowned and asked, "Albus, there are many things we haven't decided for sure, right..."
"Trust my judgment, Minerva."
Dumbledore smiled confidently, "I'm sure Mr. Rogers can't lie, right?" ”
"Of course, Headmaster." Louis nodded.
"That's... All right. ”
After a slight hesitation, Professor McGonagall sighed softly, then glared at Snape fiercely, and then went to Hagrid to seal the Forbidden Forest as Dumbledore had instructed.
As Professor McGonagall left, Dumbledore apparently trusted his own judgment more, and began to manipulate the magic to capture the traces of the magic around him.
It's a pity ...
It doesn't seem to be of any use.
The man disguised as Lee Jordan was obviously as cautious as Louie, and emptied all traces of his magic before leaving.
What about Louie?
He saw that the person had not left any traces of his magic use, so he naturally cleaned up his traces of magic use.
So...
"Ugh..."
After using his magic to perceive it, Dumbledore suddenly felt a little tired, and then he could only ask Louis, "Mr. Rogers, may I ask when that man attacked you... Did you fight back? ”
"Yes, Headmaster."
"Can you describe the man's characteristics in detail?"
Dumbledore continued, "Like... Can you tell me what type of magic the man is good at? ”
"I want to... No problem. ”
Louis pondered for a moment, looked at Snape slowly, and recalled seriously, "That man's ability to concoct a polyjuice potion proves that he has a high level of proficiency in potions, and... He's proficient in telekinesis and occlusion, especially Occlumency, and I've tried to use the Imperius Curse on him, but nothing has worked. ”
Louie's voice echoed in his ears, and he also noticed his gaze on him, Snape couldn't help frowning, and said secretly:
"Shhhh Why is this person you described a little like me? ”
Immediately afterward, Snape saw Dumbledore slowly shift his gaze to himself like Louis.
The corners of his mouth twitched violently, and Snape hurriedly began to prepare to explain something, but unfortunately he was not given any chance to defend himself, and Dumbledore said pointedly:
"Mister Rogers, wouldn't you mind showing me the Imperius Curse you wield?"
"Uh-huh..."
Louis had just finished speaking.
The next second.
"Hum..."
Mental manipulation!
At this moment, although Snape clamped his legs hard, as a unit of measurement, he obviously couldn't resist the impact of silent magic.
In the blink of an eye.
With Louis humming a dynamic dance music, under Anne's extremely shocked gaze, Snape, who kept crossing his steps, danced half a song to the Pure Land of Bliss.
And Dumbledore looked at Snape's enchanting dancing, and first couldn't help but whistle and exclaim:
"Nice dance."
Later, when Louis lifted his mental manipulation, Snape couldn't help but be at a loss as to what had just happened, and when he cast an inquiring glance at Dumbledore, Dumbledore vaguely guessed the identity of the person who came, completely ignoring Snape's inquiring gaze, and instead asked another question:
"Mister Rogers, did you notice the man's eyes?"
"Eyes?"
Realizing what Dumbledore was asking, Louis nodded vigorously and affirmed, "That man's eyes... It seems to have glowed with an eerie white light! ”
"I see, it's really him..."
Having been able to determine the identity of the person who came, Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully, and later saw Professor McGonagall and Hagrid coming together, and hurriedly ordered Snape to take Louis and Anne back to the castle for class, and then grabbed Phoenix Fawkes's ankle with Hagrid, and disappeared in front of everyone again.
Obviously.
Dumbledore knew his old friend's personality well, and knew that he must not be far away, and that there was a great possibility that he would hide in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, so he wanted to talk to him in person.
But what Dumbledore never expected was that he was not the only one who knew that the man was still hiding in the Forbidden Forest.
Another guy who was quietly tracking the man...
None other than Louie!
"If you install C, you want to run? How can it be so easy! ”
