Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

In addition, Cassandra believes that "vision" can actually be regarded as divination that does not require additional means, such as calculating numbers, crystal balls, tarot cards, animal armor, etc.

Looking at it this way, the "vision" seems to be the product of the spiritual transformation or mutation of the prophet.

Haha, maybe the first prophet with "sight" was born because of this. Cassandra's successful case also proved this point. Amon smiled lightly and sighed softly, seeming not to be satisfied with this result. Satisfied - he has learned that Cassandra's method of developing "sight" is to conduct ordinary divination. In other words, Cassandra uses "sight" as a "spiritual amplifier" for divination. This It is indeed a very effective application of "sight", but it is not what Amon wants.

Otherwise, why would he expose some of his own problems? You must know that those problems are absolutely intolerable to Dumbledore.

In the past, he was confident when facing Dumbledore because he knew clearly that Dumbledore could not possibly do anything to him. After all, he was just a little wizard. After all, Dumbledore did not understand the truth. After all, Dumbledore did not understand the truth. No evidence·······

But things were different now. Not only had he violated Dumbledore's taboo, but he had also left such obvious evidence.

So it probably won't take long, even today, for Dumbledore to find him and 'Lockhart'. By then, he and 'Lockhart' may no longer be able to stay in Hogwarts - 'Lockhart' 'At this moment, he is waiting for the final trial in his office, and at the same time preparing a big gift for Dumbledore!

As for the issue of evidence, there is actually nothing we can do about it.

This is not only because the three Harrys are eager to keep an eye on Lockhart, but also because it is difficult to hide Lockhart's matter - even the three Harrys can detect that something is wrong with Lockhart, so there is no reason for experience to be more important. Dumbledore, who is rich and has a more sinister vision, can't find it, even if he doesn't have much contact.

In fact, from the beginning, Amon didn't care at all about Lockhart's anomaly being discovered, but simply regarded Lockhart as a toy that was fun but could be thrown away casually when he got tired of it;

Later, it was a complete surprise to use Lockhart to complete the sequence promotion ceremony. After completion, naturally he didn't care about Lockhart's hidden problems.

Although the above behaviors are viewed from the perspective of "a gentleman should not stand behind a dangerous wall", it is like jumping left and right on the edge of the abyss, which is very unwise, but it is exciting and interesting enough for Amon, and until that time, Amon In fact, Meng can still find a way to remove himself without damaging his actual interests.

But it's different now. Because of the intervention of the trio, and because of his coveting of the Trelawny family inheritance, Amon simply chose to expose himself directly, thereby completely getting rid of the shackles of his student identity and life.

In this regard, it can only be said that not all changes in life are what Amon likes to see, but isn't this also the fun of life!

Therefore, in the process of Amon making a decision, apart from the helplessness of making necessary adjustments, he was more willing to go with the flow and be happy to see the results.

But now when I find that my gains are not up to expectations, the helpless emotions will inevitably expand.

Of course, Amon quickly eliminated this ups and downs of emotions and threw the parchment in his hand onto the table filled with parchment and old books.

Then he supported the table with both hands, stood up from the chair, pinched the monocle in his right eye, and curved the corner of his mouth with a smile, like an expectant audience, and leisurely turned around and left the secret room.

In the Hogwarts campus hospital, Trelawney lay pale on the white bed, sleeping with her eyes closed.

There were several figures surrounding her, including Harry, Ron and Hermione who had their heads lowered, Professor McGonagall whom they met on the way to the campus hospital, and Dumbledore who had just arrived and was silent. There is also Madam Pomfrey who is diagnosing Trelawney.

"Strange..." Madam Pomfrey frowned after diagnosing for a while, her face was serious, and she muttered in a low voice.

She stood up and attracted the attention of everyone present. The three little ones looked even more anxious and worried, which made Madam Pomfrey look at them more and her expression softened.

Then she looked at Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall and said gently:

"Trelawney is not seriously ill. It was just excessive consumption and huge stimulation that made her unconscious. She just needs to rest for a while."

"But..." Madam Pomfrey looked hesitant, as if she was a little unsure, but after thinking for two seconds, she finally said: "There are traces of being controlled by someone's mind on Trelawny's body, but it doesn't seem to be... ·····”

Madam Pomfrey hesitated again, then her eyes subconsciously turned to the three little ones. Seeing their anxious eyes, she continued in a low voice:

"Controlled by the Imperius Curse."

The magic power of a person controlled by the Imperius Curse will inevitably change, which usually cannot be discovered without the perception of an extremely powerful wizard or without careful medical examination.

And this change will last for a period of time even if the soul-stealing curse is lifted. In severe cases, it may even affect the controlled wizard, causing his temperament to change drastically.

But "parasitism" is much better in this regard. Although the magic power of the parasitized person will also change, it will not leave any substantial impact after the parasitism contact.

Of course, some psychological shadow is inevitable. This is the influence from the subconscious and is difficult to eliminate.

Therefore, Madam Pomfrey clearly found some traces of mind control, but judged that it was not from the Imperius Curse.

After hearing Madam Pomfrey's diagnosis, Professor McGonagall looked stunned and shouted in disbelief:

"Merlin, poor Trelawney, how could something like this happen at Hogwarts?!"

As he said that, Professor McGonagall turned his attention to Dumbledore, who had a solemn expression and lowered his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.

Dumbledore raised his eyes after hearing this. Behind his half-moon glasses, his blue eyes were as clear as the sky and the sea. He seemed to be able to see through everything and looked at the three little ones who were hesitant to speak. He said in a calm tone:

"I thought asking our lovely students this question might get us the answer we want."

Dumbledore's response made Professor McGonagall subconsciously turn her serious eyes to the three little ones.

This look made the three little ones tremble subconsciously, as if they were back to the night when the first-year freshmen entered the school. It was the same when they saw Professor McGonagall for the first time. They felt that they were infinitely depressed, and Professor McGonagall's infinitely high aura oppressed them.

This reaction was noticed by Professor McGonagall, and she immediately realized that she was not interrogating the murderer.

It can only be said that what happened to Trelawny made Professor McGonagall shaken. Even now, she still feels like she is in a dream. When she realized what happened, she felt very guilty and scared - if the three little ones found out about Trelawny's At that time, the murderer was still at the scene, so there would probably be three more little wizards on the hospital bed here...

Thinking of this, Professor McGonagall's eyes quickly softened, and even showed a kindness that he had never shown before, and his eyes were filled with tears.

Dumbledore patted Professor McGonagall's arm, then winked gently at the three little ones, and said with a smile:

"I think you'll have a lot to say to me, don't you?"

The three little ones nodded in succession, and Hermione opened her mouth halfway before making a sound.

Dumbledore stretched out his hand to stop her and said:

"Not here. My office has prepared hot tea and desserts for you. We have a lot of time to chat slowly, including your recent life in school."

After speaking, he looked at Professor McGonagall and said:

"Minerva, please help Madam Pomfrey take care of Trelawney here."

Professor McGonagall wiped her eyes and nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Dumbledore took the three little ones and left the school hospital, leaving Professor McGonagall silently looking at Trelawney's pale face.

Hogwarts headmaster's office.

At this moment, Hermione had quickly told Lockhart's story from beginning to end.

Harry had been hanging his head dejectedly since he entered the headmaster's office. He felt very remorseful and remorseful.

And Hermione also lowered her head after finishing the story, as if waiting for Dumbledore's criticism.

Ron didn't have those complicated feelings. After all, he had always complained about Harry and Hermione's decision to hide Amon for Amon. He believed that the "little Death Eater" should be driven out of Hogwarts as soon as possible, and he needed to do so now. There is even a sense of elation and elation after fulfilling one's wish.

But when he saw the uncomfortable looks of his two friends, thought of the punishment they might receive, and what would happen to him after his mother found out about this matter, Ron's curiosity about all kinds of strange things in the principal's office suddenly disappeared. He calmed down and lowered his head silently with a sad expression.

Dumbledore couldn't help but fell into deep thought after listening to Hermione's words. His ten fingertips moved back and forth, showing the dissatisfaction in the heart of the greatest white wizard of the era who had struggled with black magic for most of his life. calm.

With his eyes closed, he seemed to see the little wizard who sat opposite him last semester, saw the half-hearted smile that always appeared at the corner of his mouth, and saw the emptiness deep in his eyes.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of Grindelwald and Voldemort. One of them was his closest person, and the other was someone he brought into the magical world with his own hands, but in the end he had to put an end to their ambitions with his own hands.

But now, their figures gradually blurred in Dumbledore's mind, replaced by the figure of Amon who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Dumbledore closed his eyes with mixed emotions.
