Hogwarts Archmage

A ball of translucent flames filled the entire classroom, burning the Cornish elves to ashes and healing Neville's injury at the same time.

The little wizards stared blankly at Lockhart who emerged from behind the desk, but he did not feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he straightened his back and gave Ma En an extra ten points. However, because he damaged the props used in class, he was deducted again. It dropped five points, as if nothing happened just now.

Since there was an exam before this class, when he finished all this, the bell just rang, and he walked out of the classroom as a matter of course.

"This professor is a bit unreliable." Marn put back the fire in the classroom and recalled Lockhart's wand.

Hermione, who had just run from the front row next to them, couldn't help but said: "Professor, he must have done this to train us. Just look at his adventures."

"To be honest, I really want to teach you Legilimency, but you seem to be a bit too young. It's not a good time to learn this magic at this age. I'll teach you in a few years."

"Okay! Actually, I think I can learn it now."

"No... your thinking is immature. I think you will be unable to resist using it on Harry and Ron after learning it, to see if there is nothing but clear water in their minds."

"This…"

Esther's face stiffened slightly, but quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The stupid thing Lockhart did in the second grade class during the meal quickly spread throughout the school. However, his reputation was too great and he had many fans, so this incident did not attract the necessary attention from the students. On the contrary, His group of fans began to brainwash others. This was done deliberately by Professor Lockhart to train the little wizards. By the time the meal was over, most of the little wizards actually believed it!

In the evening, Esther didn't take a shower until after eight o'clock. She didn't even change out of her clothes. Ma En was a little curious and couldn't help asking: "Esther, what are you doing?"

"I made an appointment to go to Professor Dumbledore's place tonight. If you want to sleep, go to bed first."

"Want me to accompany you?"

"No, it's my little personal matter, you know, he is my only guardian now."

"Isn't there still me?"

Esther pinched Ma En's face and pulled it: "Little brother, you are younger than me~"

"If you talk like that, I will..."

Esther lightly pressed a kiss on his lips and said, "Don't worry, one day I have to leave. You can sleep well at home. You will find me in your arms tomorrow morning."

"Well, watch out for old Filch on the road."

"Well, don't worry."

……

Esther did not leave in a hurry, but chatted with Hermione downstairs for a while longer. It was not until nine o'clock, when the senior students also started their curfew, that they got up and left.

The principal's office was not far from the black tea house. It only took Esther a few minutes to get here. After guessing several sweets at the door, the sculpture moved away, revealing the door behind it.

Dumbledore was writing something with a quill. He raised his head and glanced at Esther, motioning her to sit on the chair next to him. After waiting for a while, he lowered his head and continued writing. Esther was not in a hurry and did not go. Instead of sitting on the chair, after closing the door, he stood in a position where he couldn't see the words on the table and waited.

It took more than half an hour before he put down the pen in his hand, looked at Esther who was standing there, and said: "Sit down, kid, I probably know what you are here for - don't worry, I didn’t check your brain, this is just an old man’s experience. In fact, I have been thinking about it during this time.”

Esther then walked to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, relaxing her tired knees a little, "Professor, I know I may not be qualified to make this request, but I really need to learn this magic."

"You think Marn will look into your brain?"

"He won't, but there are always special circumstances."

"I don't understand the circumstances under which he would look into your thoughts."

"He told Hermione today that he plans to teach her Legilimency in a few years. Once taught, he must experience this magic personally. In fact, he also mentioned this to me during the summer, but I diverted it away. If he mentions this matter again, I don’t know how many more times I can delay it. Once it can’t be delayed any longer, with his violent magic power, he will definitely explore my past clearly.”

Dumbledore thought for a moment: "How can you be sure that he will leave you if he knows your past?"

"Professor, the human heart cannot stand the test," Esther said: "Even if he does not leave, this incident will tear a rift between us. This rift will one day completely destroy us. Tear apart.”

She continued: "Professor, I just want to live a good life, and I have nothing to give you in return. I am too young and can't do anything, but I still ask you to teach me Occlumency."

Dumbledore waved his hand and continued to think for a long time before saying, "I don't need you to make any exchange or reward. I just hope that you can fulfill your promise and live a good life."

"Professor, thank you..."

"That's not necessary. No matter what, I am your only guardian now. Although your situation is a bit unfair to Ma En, I should help you due to circumstances and reasons - as long as you can maintain your current situation. My thoughts will no longer slide into darkness."

"If I can live a good life, I am willing to spend my whole life making up for Ma En."

Dumbledore took out a piece of paper and wrote a line on it, and handed it to Esther: "From now on, every night at nine o'clock, when you come to my office, when you meet Filch, just show this to him. Don't be like Marx." , Filch is just a poor person."

"? Ma Enta?"

"That's not something praiseworthy. I'm really worried that if you find out, you'll teach it to other young wizards. That's really not a good habit." Dumbledore winked playfully.

"Okay, Professor, I'll see you tomorrow night, I have to go back to bed."

"See you tomorrow."

When she was walking back, she actually met Filch. He and his cat started to walk faster when he saw Esther far away. Just when she was about to open her mouth to say something, Esther pulled out Dumbledore. The approved approval note was handed to him, blocking out a series of words that followed, and left angrily.

Esther looked at his back, and then at Mrs. Loris, who looked very similar to him. She planned to ask Tomagli tomorrow if there was any magic potion that could prevent cats who drank the medicine from those who didn't. Cats mating.
