The next night.

The cheers in the Great Hall downstairs reached Linde's ears one after another, and Dumbledore announced the great achievements of Harry and his party downstairs.

Linde stood in front of the window, the cheers downstairs mingling with the quiet moonlit night outside gave him a sense of unreality and made him a little dazed.

He just kept standing, standing.

Next to his bedside was an open copy of Standard Spell: Level III., which he had tried to read to pass the time, but had never been able to read it.

Lind just looked up at the sky, expressionless, thinking about Cthulhu, Hans Christian Andersen, and Charms in his head......

It didn't take long for him to hear a voice from behind him. "I guess you're tired of staying here, why don't you go to my office and sit down!" Dumbledore had come up behind him at some point.

Lind turned his head with an uncontrollable joy in his eyes, and he had asked Madam Pomfrey when he could leave last night.

At that time, Madam Pomfrey said that he was just in poor health, and that he should recuperate first, and that Dumbledore would come to him after the year-end banquet.

The loud noise that erupted in the Great Hall downstairs just now was supposed to be the cheers of Gryffindor winning the House Cup with Dumbledore's super bonus.

Linde hurriedly put away the books on the table, as well as his waist bag.

Luckily, none of the unicorn-related stuff was in this bag, otherwise Dumbledore might have found out.

Thinking about it, Linde put away all his things and looked at Dumbledore for a long time.

Dumbledore took his hand and waved his wand, and suddenly Lind felt a silver veil covering his body.

Illusion Charm

Afterwards, Dumbledore lifted the curtain of the cubicle and walked out with Linde. The mattress quilt automatically flies up and folds behind you.

Along the way, I often met cheering wizards, but whenever they approached the two, they would automatically avoid their positions by accident or for no reason, and they didn't know what kind of magic was working.

This scene gave Linde the feeling of roaming the world, and he inexplicably felt that his practice of Occlumency had improved a little.

At the same time, she met Professor McGonagall, her eyes fell on the two of them, nodded vaguely as a greeting, and then looked away as if nothing happened.

The two of them were able to get to Dumbledore's office without any obstacles.

The moment you step up the spiral staircase, the illusion spell is lifted. When the two of them went up, Linde didn't say a word, just tidied up his clothes.

Arriving at the office, Linde first began to look around to try to find Andersen's location.

Fawkes stood on a gilded perch, staring helplessly at the nest made from the branches of an unknown tree below.

Dumbledore patted him on the back from behind, motioning for him to look forward, "Go!" Its state has stabilized a lot, and Fox's eyes have been crying and swollen for the past two days haha! ”

"Crying swollen? Was it worried about Hans Christian Andersen? Lin De asked puzzled, and then realized that the phoenix's tears had a very powerful healing effect.

Linde was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly walked over to look at the bird's nest.

I saw that there was a writhing piece of flesh with tentacles in the nest, and blue and purple feathers continued to grow in the flesh, and then fell off again, and the cycle repeated. The whole nest is already crowded with feathers.

At the same time, as if sensing Linde's arrival, the flesh squeezed out, squeezing out some blood-colored slime, and then squeezing out the familiar beak from it.

"Goo...... Goo (my good big brother-)"

"Quack...... (Don't worry, big brother, I'm feeling better now.) ）”

Linde was a little nervous when he looked at it, but now he was relieved to hear its voice.

A rare smile hung on the corner of his mouth, "How do you know it's me?" ”

"Quack...... (I'm sensitive to smells now...... And I feel like I'm going to have a lot of changes in the future that I don't know if it's good or bad)"

Dumbledore also walked over to Linde, "I didn't dare to make a move, it's a little different from Harry's situation. ”

Lin Degang wanted to ask this question.

In the Room of Requirement, Harry was quickly transformed into a half-fishman, and then Dumbledore soon arrived and transformed him back into a normal human.

He didn't know if Harry was now completely back to his normal appearance, or if he would become an abnormal person like him.

Andersen, on the other hand, is even stranger here, because it pecked at the tentacles formed by Cthulhu borrowing himself, and the change process took longer, stranger, and weirder.

At the same time, it also calls itself the boss, which is also one of the things that Linde is happy about.

Although its body was polluted, its mind was not corrupted by Him.

Linde nodded, and then said to the pieces of meat in the nest, "Okay, you can stay here for now!" ”

At the sound of what he said, the beak was rolled into the lump of flesh again, and then began to beat regularly, like the breath of the lungs, and like the beating of the heart.

Linde looked around again, the headmasters on the wall were still pretending to be asleep, they seemed to have their own channels of information, he still seemed to vaguely hear them arguing when he was still on the spiral staircase, but now they were all quietly crawling on the table, and one of the headmasters was deliberately snoring.

Then I saw the damn Sorting Hat again.

"Professor, I'll be honest, I don't think I'm like a Gryffindor."

Dumbledore looked at him with interest, "Oh, which house do you think you look like?" ”

Lind rubbed his temples, "Well, Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff!" ”

"Interesting idea, but the Sorting Hat never goes wrong. There must be courage and justice in your heart that you can't see. He nodded to Linde's left chest.

"Well, maybe!" Linde was back to his rigid face, and there was no need to bother with the Sorting Yard anymore.

Then he saw the Mirror of Eris, which was placed in the back of the cabinet, and he hadn't noticed it at first.

Dumbledore also noticed Linde's gaze and began tonight's exchange at the right time.

"It is the Mirror of Eris, and it allows us to see the deepest and strongest desires of our hearts."

As he spoke, he led Linde over the small table and cabinet to the mirror.

"Every time I see myself holding a pair of thick woolen socks."

Dumbledore spread his hands helplessly.

"There were never enough socks to wear, Christmas came and went, I didn't receive a pair of socks, and people insisted on sending me books. But I'm not polite to say that most of the academic books didn't do much to me. ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand a little Versailles. However, if Linde remembers correctly, there were several arguments about the phrase wool socks in his previous life.

First, wool socks are commonly used at Christmas, and Christmas is often a holiday to spend with his family, so Dumbledore said wool socks refer to his desire for family.

The second, saying that wool socks come in pairs, refers to his feelings for Grindelwald.

The third is what he said casually.

Originally, Linde preferred the third option, because the most troublesome thing he used to do when reading novels was over-interpretation. But now according to the original book. Dumbledore must have told Harry about "wool stockings" as well.

Talking about wool socks twice, could it be that Dumbledore is really referring to something in a vague sense!

Lind didn't know, but it wasn't his business.

At this point, Dumbledore beckoned him to come over and look in the mirror, as if it were two friends, one of whom had discovered something interesting and wanted to share it with the other.
