Mysterious Walker at Hogwarts

After activating the invisibility function of Prokos's robe, Dean unknowingly entered the room guarded by Lu Wei on the fourth floor.

As the door creaked, a low barking sound immediately sounded in Dean's ears.

Although the big dog couldn't see him, all three noses were twitching and sniffing crazily towards him.

Lu Wei is still very dedicated~

Dean was very satisfied.

He took out the music box and wound it up. After a burst of cheerful music that made Dean feel melancholy, Lu Wei fell asleep as expected.

Dean used the levitation spell to remove Lu Wei's claws from behind the trap door, and jumped down without hesitation. As the music faded away, Lu Wei roared again.

The second level was the devil's net arranged by Professor Sprout. Dean just used them to buffer the speed of his descent. He immediately entered the foggy state before they entangled him and passed through the gaps in the devil's net.

Although Dean has many ways to deal with the devil's net, they will inevitably hurt them. Dean does not want to weaken the intensity of this test, so he uses the fog state to pass.

The third level is a flight to find keys arranged by Professor Flitwick.The "Flying Skill +100" obtained through "Mission: Cheering Gryffindor" allowed Dean to easily control the flying broom and catch the silver key with wings.

The fourth level is the wizard chess set by Professor McGonagall. After admiring Professor McGonagall's superb transformation skills, Dean used the "Wizard Chess Master" drawn from Ron to pass the test. Dean finally gave this skill Found a use.

Of course, Dean was not stupid enough to replace one of the chess pieces himself. Instead, he used the "Stone Pier Move" spell to resurrect a chess piece and let it participate in the wizard chess match on his behalf, which proved to be very effective.

The fifth level was a giant monster arranged by Quirrell. Before the giant monster could react, Dean used a powerful sleeping spell to send him to sleep. The effect of "Troll Buster" was very powerful!

The sixth level comes from Snape's potion test. Even if Dean has not read the original work, he can easily tell that the smallest bottle is the correct choice with the "Potion Specialization" skill he drew from Snape. .

Well, Dean, who was born as a Muggle, finally used magic to solve this reasoning problem.

Dean drank the liquid in the small bottle in one gulp, feeling as if his whole body was soaked in ice; he put down the bottle and walked towards the black flames.

The moment he passed through the flames, there was only black flames in front of Dean's eyes, but he could not feel the flames licking his body.

In a blink of an eye, Dean successfully reached the other side and entered the last room.

Dean originally thought he would face the final test set by Dumbledore - the Mirror of Erised; he even thought about what he hoped to see in the Mirror of Erised.

Of course it's not the Philosopher's Stone - Dean feels that with systematic help, sooner or later he will learn and make a Philosopher's Stone himself - he wants to know how to get rid of Knightley's Obscurus.

However, Dean miscalculated. When he entered the last room dressed as the Mysterious Walker, he found that there was already a person waiting inside for a long time.

"You came faster than I expected, Mr. Mysterious Walker, or you would rather I call you Dean Thomas." Dumbledore turned from the Mirror of Erised, his blue eyes Staring at Dean through half-moon eyes.

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Dean took off the clown mask generously, "Professor, when did you find out?"

"A long time ago, perhaps when you first taught Filch a lesson as the Mysterious Walker, I knew it." Dumbledore tapped his temples with his long fingers, pretending to be trying hard. The look of memories.

"As expected. I can't hide anything from you at Hogwarts." Dean was not surprised at all.

"It seems you have guessed it a long time ago." Dumbledore sighed softly, "Dean, your growth rate is far beyond my imagination."

"This is all thanks to Professor Snape. If I had not happened to obtain the inheritance of the Mysterious Walker from the dragon skin bag he gave me, I would not have made such obvious progress." Dean replied calmly.

He had long expected that one day his identity would be exposed by Dumbledore, and he had already thought of his words. The inheritance of the Mysterious Walker could be the best cover for the system.

"It seems that Severus made a right choice." Dumbledore smiled, "Ever since I found out that you are Xiao's child, I knew that Severus would do this."

"So you already know about the Mystery Walker's heritage, right?" Dean asked.

"Of course, I've even seen the real Mystery Walker." Dumbledore winked mysteriously at Dean.

"What kind of person is he?" Dean felt a little dry. No wonder Dumbledore knew from the beginning that he was pretending to be a Mystery Walker.

"I'm not going to tell you. Wouldn't it be more interesting to solve this mystery yourself?" Dumbledore shook his head.

"So you still aren't going to tell me about my biological father, are you?" Dean asked.

"I have already said that when the time comes, Severus will talk to you personally about this matter."

"Then...are you waiting for me here specifically?"

"Dean, I originally thought we had reached a tacit understanding: I will not prevent you from pretending to be a Mystic Walker, and you will not destroy my plan to train Potter." Dumbledore seemed a little disappointed, "I even wanted to do this because of this tacit understanding. Hiding Rolf's exposure to the Imperius Curse from Newt."

"Professor, I don't think I broke this tacit understanding." Dean said calmly. He found that when facing Dumbledore, although he still couldn't be as calm as water, at least he was not as afraid as he was at first.

"But you are still interested in the Sorcerer's Stone." Dumbledore seemed a little unhappy.

"You are wrong. I am not interested in the Philosopher's Stone, but I am a little interested in the Mirror of Erised." Dean corrected.

"Mirror of Erised?" Dumbledore frowned slightly, "I thought you wouldn't be confused by what is shown in the mirror like most people."

"I just want to get some clues from the Mirror of Erised." Dean looked at Dumbledore and said, "You know, if the Obscurus is completely solved."

Dumbledore looked at Dean quietly, as if trying to tell whether he was lying; Dean looked at him calmly, and now he had a clear conscience.

"I can trust you again, Dean. You can use the Mirror of Erised once." Dumbledore said and walked away from the Mirror of Erised.

"Thank you very much, Professor." Dean knew exactly how much risk Dumbledore took by doing this.

There is no doubt that the Philosopher's Stone is now hidden in the Mirror of Erised. As long as Dean uses the correct method, he can get the Philosopher's Stone.

But Dumbledore still chose to trust him, and Dean felt very touched.

Before, he was somewhat dissatisfied with Dumbledore favoring Harry, but now all this dissatisfaction disappeared. Dean finally understood that everything Dumbledore did was for the ultimate goal - to completely eliminate Voldemort.
