Chapter Eighty-Six: Homecoming

Lind walked over and stared intently at the Mirror of Eris.

I saw myself sitting at the table, and beside me sat the silver-haired Lady Evelyn, who was cutting apple pie and distributing it to Felix and Linde. Felix is also in the mirror, pouring milk for Mrs. Evelyn.

And his parents in his previous life came out of the kitchen and served the home-cooked food they loved in his previous life.

Linde, who looked to be in his twenties, put down the Daily Prophet, and a happy family dinner began.

Linde looked at this scene a little distracted, and stood in place.

Dumbledore's voice interrupted him, "What do you see?" ”

Linde quickly turned his head away, no longer looking at the magic mirror. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still fascinated by the scene depicted in the magic mirror.

But the past was irreversible, and it was at this moment that he suddenly understood why Harry had been obsessed with the Mirror of Eris.

Dumbledore looked at Lindh curiously, but didn't ask directly, but respected his thoughts, and saw if he was willing to say what he saw in the magic mirror.

Linde looked at the magic mirror again, this time he was mentally prepared and did not lose his temper again, "I saw me with my family. We got together and had a good dinner. ”

Then Linde noticed some more details.

The Daily Prophet he picked himself up as the best master of charms and transfiguration for centuries.

In the corner of the table was a brand-new copy of "The King of the Century" that he had never seen before. The cover of the book has several portraits of wizards, one of which has him.

But Lind wasn't going to tell Dumbledore. The theme of the picture in the mirror is still family.

Dumbledore saw that Lind had just summarized it casually, and did not want to say more, and then led Linde to the desk.

Dumbledore then pulled out another pile of candy, which he peeled and put in his mouth before starting the conversation.

He didn't continue the conversation about the Mirror of Eris, but moved on to the previous events.

"As for why the school says you're home, it's because neither Voldemort nor Quirrell are actually dead, and in a sense, the danger hasn't been lifted.

And both of their plans were ruined by you, or should I say the guy inside you. ”

Dumbledore's voice grew serious, "Both of them are full of anger and strength towards you...... Interest. ”

"Quirrell isn't dead either?" Lind was a little shocked, didn't Quirrell's heart burst at that time!

Dumbledore saw Linde's reaction, and some inexplicable thoughts popped up in his heart.

When it comes to killing and death, he doesn't seem to care so much, but instead grasps the point of what he said normally.

If it was Snape in front of him, it would be fine, but the person in front of him was only a twelve-year-old child, but the next second Dumbledore was relieved, and this performance was worthy of the Linde he remembered.

"That's right! Like Voldemort, he abandoned his body and fled with the presence of a soul. ”

"But...... How did he do it? "Although Linde doesn't know what level of soul separation is required, it's certainly not something that any cat or dog can do.

Dumbledore opened another box of chocolate frogs, "We don't know about that, I just made that judgment when I examined his body at a later stage." ”

"Hah, Merlin." Dumbledore picked up the small card and showed it to Linde.

"The most powerful Animagus can turn into any animal, I wonder if he can turn into a magical animal. Magus, the voice of all things, can talk to animals. Voldemort could do that. ”

Lind can talk to animals to a certain extent, but he's not in the mood to care about the card right now.

Dumbledore put the card away before continuing, "Both Quirrell and Voldemort have shown a strong interest in you, and at first I thought it would be best to keep you at the school all the time, because most of the professors still live at Hogwarts, even during the holidays.

But I think it's like the picture in the Mirror of Eris, you won't agree with it, I think it's very important to be reunited with your family.

So after all the considerations, I had a little idea. I hope you don't mind. ”

Lind nodded, signaling his willingness to accept Professor Dumbledore's offer.

"I think it's better not to take the train back, after all, there's a good chance Quirrell is still in the castle. It's entirely possible to hide somewhere or possess someone or something. ”

"How is this possible! Professor, you're not ......"

Dumbledore waved his hand, "There are so many secrets about this castle that I don't know much about it. Quirrell could well be hiding somewhere.

It would be troublesome to let them catch your tracks, and it could be dangerous for you and your family. ”

Linde nodded, and so far no one in the school knew his home address, except for a few teachers. And Dumbledore may have chosen this because he didn't have the Protective Charm like Harry.

Of course, there are also security issues such as owl sending letters, and I don't know how Dumbledore is going to deal with it.

"So Professor Snape will send you straight home. Instead of boarding the Hogwarts Express with your classmates. ”

Just then, Snape appeared from the doorway of his office, each time as if he had been deliberately stuck.

As for the rest, Dumbledore said no more, "I'm sorry, I might be a bit urgent, but for our personal reasons, we can only send you home tonight, or tomorrow morning." ”

This statement basically gave Linde any room for refusal, and Dumbledore continued,

"As for your little friend, I'll send it to you when it recovers, don't worry! It will be best taken care of with me. ”

It seems that this is the reason why Dumbledore said at school that he had left beforehand.

Lind turned his head to Snape's impatient eyes and said, "Can I leave again tomorrow?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Linde's two large suitcases suddenly appeared and landed on the carpet.

Snape stared at him and said, "Is there anything else you have to do?" ”

At a glance, Linde saw the small bag hanging outside one of the suitcases.

Linde opened the box and pretended to count his clothes and books, but in fact he was looking down at the bag.

1.2、...... Seven, eight. The mouth of the bundled bag deliberately pulled out eight pleats by itself.

And he still has a short hair of his own on the mouth of the bun that is tied up.

Then the left and right wiring harnesses are long on the left and short on the right, and there is a wear on the right wiring harness about two centimeters away from the bag.

That's right, it's all right. Absolutely no one has ever opened this bag.

All of these details were deliberately set by Linde in order to prevent others from detecting it when they opened the bag.

Lind hadn't planned to go to the dissection room on the night of Quirrell's incident, so he kept the bag containing Operation Unicorn under his pillow.

Now Linde was relieved, he had said that he wanted to leave tomorrow because of this little bag in Snape's murderous eyes.

After that, Linde closed the box again and said, "Actually, there is nothing to do, but I am afraid...... It's so late and it's a delay in the professor's time.

Because I didn't expect my luggage to be taken away at first. ”

"Is your head so barren that your bed and quilts are still scattered in your bedroom when everyone says you're home?

The bags were packed that evening. ”

Lin De was speechless when he said this, and he had to ask, "Professor, how do we go to my house!" ”

They were clearly prepared, and Snape nodded at Dumbledore, not wanting to say anything more.

And Dumbledore also turned his head, "Fawkes, trouble. Send them back! ”
